Commander in Chief is rapidly preparing a part of
our infantry to aft as light troops. and that fume

in teaching to entire brigades that praftice of war-

LAW mrELLICENCE.

PALACE COURT, SEPT. a.
DL L~RCR qo. V•LITTE.

The parties in ibis anion were Frenchmen, and the
plaintiff lived in Wardour-greet, S..hn, where he
carried on bufinefs at a lady's lancy•drefs tnalen•.—
The delenchnt font him certain articles of that de-
fcriptian, among which were fume ladies' ridicules,
for the purpofe of being fold. Thefe articles sere,
however, fazed by the Officers of the Cwtoms, who
at the fame time took other things which they tut%
pened th be of Frezch fabric and manufaeure.
Mr. Wright, an attorney, depofed that he had
I been employed to write to the defendant for the
money, the price of the things amounting to 31. 43.
He called twice, and the money was always pro:ruled
'to be lent, or the articles returned. The things con-
fitted of id Ain gloom and ladies' rides:la.
A Mifs Bomtrey flared, on the contrary, that the
lived in the defendant'. bottle at the time the things
were delivered ; when they were brought, they were
to be fold er ujuu4 on behalf of the plaintiff, and on
commilfion. This lady defetlbed the goods—they
were gloves and ladies' ricliadee. She had alt.() the
goodnefs to explain to the Court and Jury (and we
benefited by her communication) what ladies' ridicules
arc—They are frail kr, made of pin, covered with
mod eriloodery, and furni'klted with Ling filk cords and
talleis ; in thefe kr the ladies carry their &raker-
eliefi, the fober cultom of wearing pockets being now
bona, exploded. The ladies wilt the cords round
their hands or their arms, and in this Avid, fah
Rik, do they walk about. The witnefs added, that
the was prefent when the things were feired, and the
teafon of their being taken was a fufpicion, on the
part of the officers, that they were contraband.
The Learned Judge told the Jury it did not appear
that the defendant was perfonally liable to the amount
claimed. It ought to have been the,particular care
of the plaintiff not to have brought any articles of a
fulpiciams nature, or liable to teiture by the ()ulcers
of the Revenue. The Jury being of this opinion,
found a ye/did for the defendant
samuxis en LAMB.

This was an aaton to recover 51. as damages far
-an affault. The parties live at Bermondfey, and are
brothers-in law. On the IA day in pay, Lamb ran
acrofs the way, and pulled up the water-plug belong-
ing to Sander. He called him a German b--4, and
laid hc•was floating him with water. They then
went to blows, but the evidence not being accurate
with regard to who Ittuck fird, the Jury found fur
the detentlard.
