LORD STOWELL.

?IO ray 110111111 AMILRICAN

But a still more striking example is Lord Stowell
(better known in this country as Sir William Scott), the
present venerable Judge of the High Court of Admi-
ralty. of whom it may be justly said, in the language
of Cicero, that he is jariaperitorms elofmentissinstes.—
This great man has presided in the Court of Admiralty
since the year 1798 ; and during this period he has com-
manded the admiration of all Europe, by the learning,
acuteness, and finished elegance of his judgments.
There was a time when it was somewhat the fashion in
this country to undervalue the solid excellence of his
opinions. Our stommerce was brought so directly in
conk/ with his administration of prize law, that it Was
Oink to avoid prejudices on a subject in which, as
iestrals, we had so deep an interest, and were so liable
to Indulge strong animosities. But time has dissipated
many delusions on this subject, and we have had in the
late war ample opportunity to try the accuracy of his
principles, when we changed the character of neutrals
fcr that of belligerents. We can now look back upon
his decisions with somewhat of the calmness and so-
briety of a philosophical historian. With the exception
of the doctrines respecting the Colonial trade, in which
it is but common justice to admit that he either acted
upon public Orders in Council, which he was bound to
obey, or upon the rule of 1756, which his Government
hod previously chosen to consider as an established part
of his Prize Code, the differences between his decisions
upon prize law and those promulgated by the Supreme
Coart of the United States, are so few as to be almost
ermescent. After the most powerful arguments, under
the highest political excitements, and with tke aid of
the most striking eloquence, there has been but a single
principle adopted by him which has been deliberately
overruled by the Supreme Court, and on that occasion
there was a serious difference of opinion among the
Judges.
But it is not in respect to Prize Law that we intend
to speak of Lord Stowell, though he every where ex•
bibits the most profound and accurate knowledge of
all the publicists of continental Europe; but as a
maritime iJuclge, deciding in what is called the Instance
Cott, the great principles of commercial jurispru-
dence. His superiority in this department over the
technical reasoning of the common lawyers is most
signal. He discusses every question with a persuasive
and comprehensive liberality—with a tone of general
equity—a knowledge of maritime usages—and a dis-
position to consider maritime jurisprudence as the un-
written law of the world, rather than the municipal
monopoly of a single nation; and he draws from all
sources, ancient and modern, the best and purest prin.
ciples to aid, to illustrate, and to confirm his own
judgment. With him the grave learning of Grotius
—the arose, bold, and somewhat vehement, discus-
sions of Bynkerthock —the reverend testimonies of the
Consolato del Mare—the 'Collections of Cleirac—the
busy, practical sense of Roccus—sithe brief, but clear,
text of Heineccius—the various and exhausting labours
of Casaregis--the argumentative commentaries, and lu-
minous treatises of the French jurists, appear as perfectly
familiar as the writers of his own age and country.—
He evidently reposes upon them even when he does not
cite them ; and tranfuses into his own eloquent and im-
pressive judgments whatever they afford of general doe-
trine, or just interpretation, upon all the doubtful ques-
tions of maritime law. One scarcely knows which most
to admire, the simplicity of his principles--the classical
bratty of his diction—the calm and dispassionate spirit
of his inquiries—his critical but candid estimate of evi-
dence—his strong love of equity—his deep indignation
of fraud, chastened by habitual moderation—or that
pervading common sense which looks into, and feels,
and acts upon the busiueu of life, with a discriminating,
but indulgent eye—content to administer practical good,
without ostentation ; and wasting nothing upon specu-
lations, whose origin is enthusiasm, and whose end is
uncertainty or mischief. Even when he deals with
subjects of another class, as in ecclesiastical causes in
the Consistory Court, one is surprised to see with what
admirable propriety he uses his knowledge of general
jurisprudence and the civil law, to give vigour to his
decrees. And, upon questions involving the lei kci,
be has triumphantly shewn that he can master the re-
sults of foreign jurisprudence and, as in the very in-
teresting case of Dalrymple v. Dalrymple, compose the
strifes of the Learned Advocates of the Scottish bar, and
it for ever, upon an immovable balls,* question which
bid vexed the domestic forum of Scotland for a long
period, with its doubts and difficulties. We say, with-
Ott hesitation, that the character of this eminent Judge,
whatever may have been his original genius and ability,
ewes its present elevation in a great measure, to his en-
larged studies, and his cultivation of universal jurisprlP
deuce. Take, for instance, his celebrated jssdgmer.t
to the case of the Gratitndine, in 1801, on the right
of the master to hypothecate the cargo, as well as
the ship and freight, for the necessities of the voyage;
or the case of the Juliana, in 1822, on the invalidity of
s stipulation in the shipping paper, to cut off the seamen
from wages, unless the voyage was performed to the
final port of destination. Where shall we find, in the
annals of the common law, except among the judgments
01 Lord Mansfield, cases argued out upon such rational
and enlightened principles, aided by sober and various
'4ining, and ending in conclusions so irresistible. One
"an in them, to be reading not the law of England
but the law of the world—the results of human
"Inn and human learning, acting on human concerns,
"rah reference to principles absolutely universal in their
iaarice and convenience of application. We wish Ame-
rican lawyers would study the fine thodels of this sagas
dour Judge, with a diligence proportionate to their im-
poNince and utility.

CRICKET.—ALL ENGLAND AGAINST SUSSEX.
Basuto*, Jot, 43.—After weather thoroughly wet yesterday,
and a following night of a similar character., the morning of this
day was cloudy bet without rain. The wickets, therefore for the
Grand Cricket Match between this County and All England, were
pitched in our Royal Ground as early as eleven ....at. and company,
at least an hour previously, from the town and neighbourhood, were
seen verging to that point. The nvertopping downs soon displayed'
their crowds of spectators; and thousands of persons had paid the
sixpenny admission price to the inclosed scene of action. The turf
was in capital order, notwithstanding the late copious moisture.
The diversion was commenced by All England taking the command
of the bat—but the Sussex bowlers and fielders rendered their beat
efforts almost as nugatory. The whole eleven, in fact, erere put out
for 27 rem, and as follows—W. Ward, Esq. for 2; E. H. Budd,
Esq. for a; H. Kingssote, Esq. without a run; G. Knight, O.
ditto; Mr. Searle, (in the room of G. Jenner, Esq.) for 7; G.
Osbeldeston, Esq. without a run; Mr. Mills (in the room of Ashby)
without a ran; Mr. Beagley, for 5; Mr. Saunders, without a run;
Mr. Marsden, dine; and Mr. Pilch for 3, with two byes ; making,
in the aggregate, 27. The above Innings was concluded before two
o'clock ; and soon after the Sussex players went in, with the adds
greatly increased in their favour. By three o'clock four of the
Sussex wickets were down for 26 runs; these of J. Broadbridge,
Thwaites, Lilliwbite, and Morley; and a trilling diminution in the
betting odds followed. J. Broadbridge, the second hall, was bowled
oat in capital style by G. Knight, Esq. and Lilliwbite by R. H.
Budd, Esq. On the opposite side, Saunders was stumped out by
Slater; and Marsden was *aught out by J. Broadbridge, who, in
throwing himself forward to reach the ball, fell, rolling over and
over, but not before he had secured 1t..--(Tumultooos applause).
At three dinner was served up in the promenade saloon, and In the
marquees, &c. en the ground ; and after dinner, between four and
five o'clock, the sport was re-commenced, and at seven Sussex had
closed their innings with 77 runs, beading their adversaries 50. In
something leas than half an hour Au England commenced their
second innings, and having lost me wicket (Mr. Searles) for tea
tuna, the diversion was discontinued, to he renewed at eleven, a.st.
tomorrow. It is almost superfluous to add, that betting continues
much in favour of &nem.

WHITEHALL PRIZE WHERRY.
The Annual prises given by the inhabitants of Whitehall. and

In order the% the Subscribers to the Prizes might bare the op-

Scarlet, Purple, White, and Light Bine. The boats went off at the
moment the pistol was fired, and kept their way downwards almost
together; but Purple took the dead at the turn user Somerset-
house, and kept it in a very line and skilful manner. Light Blue
soon gained the second place, and pressed hard upon Purple nearly
to the conclusion of the beat, when Scarlet, by a great exertion of
strength, pushed by her, and came in second; and the beat was de-
termined to have been won by Purple and Scarlet. The heat was
a most excellently contested see.

The following scene took place a few days ago at
-Newhaven, near Edinburgh :—A letter was received by
the wife of a fisherman employed at Wick, in the end
of which he mentioned, " I add no more." The woman
being no great scholar, read it, " I am no more," and
conceived the letter rotates intimation of her husband',
death. She became frantic- sad inconsolable at the
news, and bitterly bewailed her heavy bereavement, in
which she was joined by many other Ashermen's wives,
abotit a score in number, who had at that instant heard
a report of the loss of several fishing boats at Wick. It,
is impossible to describe the melancholy lamentations
at their supposed loss, ontil a Gentleman, whose his.
manity prompted him to request a perusal of the letter
gave these forlorn widows, as they supposed themselves,
the most unspeakable comf, rt by explaining, that the
alarming words were nothing more than a term of
farewell.

LAW INTEWGENCL

COURT OP Cil,ANCßßY,.fin.rti:
lIMIDEN 4. COiriNTRY.

The Latin CHANCELLOR, in giving judgment in this
matter, which came before the Court as an appeal front
a decree of the Master of the Rolls, observed, that by
as order made in this case, in July, 1819, it was refer-
red to the Master to inquire whether the sum of 2501.
laid in respect of a certain annuity, the half yearly pay.
meats of which became due in the months of March
nod September, 1807, had or had not been twice, paid
to Colonel Thornton. The case was fully investigated
in the Master's office, who was of opinion, that the
esonephad been twice paid. Exceptions were taken to
that report, which were argued before. the Master of
the Rolls in 1820, and that Learned Judge thought fit
to confirm the Master's report in consequence of snhkh,
Colonel Thornton being dissatisfied with his deeisinb,
appealed to this Conti. The facts of the case are sim-
ply these t—ln the year 1806, the Hon. Mrs Coventry
granted an annuity to Colonel Thornton, charged upon
his real and personal estate, and also upon certain divi-
dends /edged in this Court, in which the Colonel had a
life interest. At the time that this transaction took
place, the property was demised to a person of the
name of George Hubbard, as It tutu for the annuitants;,
and in the deed executed between the parties, the visual
clause was inserted, empowering him, in case the an-
nuity should be in arrear, to receive the rents, for the
purpose of liquidating the annuity; and in the month
of Marsh, 1807, Hubbard received rents to tl*aihount
of 4001. or 5001. He afterwards endeavoured to ac-
count for part of the rents, by saying that he had paid
the annuitants; and his Lordship observed, that what-
ever question might arise as to the evidence of his
having paid the annuity, it was clear that he had
charged himself with having the money in his hands
for the payment of the annuitants ; and whether he paid
the money over, or retained it in his own possession at
trustee and agent for the annuitants, that would be con•
sidered, in point of law, as a payment to them. It sp•
peared..that Colonel Thornton attended the investiga•
don before the Master in 1828, and it was competent to
*WI to have made an affidavit ; but in consequence of
his not having done so, he (the Lord Chancellor) felt
himself authorised to infer, hot only that he knew the
trustee actually received the money, but that he must
have been aware of its having been accounted for by
him. He, therefore, was of opinion, that there was
usificient evidence before the Master to authorise him
in finding the money to have been twice paid, and the
appeal would, under these circumstances, be dismissed,
with costs.

ROLLS COURT, Jinx M.

♦ID WILLIS.

This unfortunate case, as it was galled by his Honour,
has been in course of litigation for about thirty years.
It has been several times heard, and a decree was made
in the case by the late Lord Gifford. •
When the case was called on yesterday, his Honour
observed, that as he had had time to read the whole of
the voluminous papers connected with it (pointing to a
huge bundle which lay upon the table) he was more in-
timately acquainted with the circumstances thin it was
possible for the Gentlemen of the Bar, with their nu-
merous avocations, to be. It appeared that Mr. Peak
Puller had been the proprietor of an estate in Jamaica,
which he mortgaged to Messrs. Willis and Waterhouse.
As Mr. Fuller proved to be but an indifferent manager
of his own estate, he engaged a person of the name of
Queenborough to manage it for him, as his agents--
Mr. Fuller dying some time after, Queenborougb cone
tinned in she management of the estate; and as the
executors of Mr. Fuller had declined, or were incepts.
ble of acting, Mr. Waterhouse, one of the mortgagees,
and the principal creditor of Furer applied that ad•
ministration may be granted to him and Queenbo.
rough, which was accordingly granted. In the following
year, a bill was filed in the Court of Chancery in Ja-
maica, praying an account of the management of the
estates of Mr. Fuller. This suit professed to be insti•
toted for the benefit of Mr. Fuller's family, and was
carried on in their name. His Honour was, however,
of opinion that invite. what a Court of Equity calls a
fraudulent suit, and instituted in the view of giving she
estate absolutely into the possession of the wove
In 1807, Willis, filed a bill of foreclosure; but t
peered that at that time he was not the owner of the
mortgage. The Government having at that period
made an advance of Exchequer Bills to relieve com-
merce, Willis obtained part of the public relief, and
Sir Francis Baring having become his security, received
from him an assignment of this mortgage. The dfect
of the decision of the Court of Chancey in Jamaica
was, to give the absolute contronl of the estate to the
mortgagee, whilst in his accounts be was only 'answer.
able to a person who was his own agent. The effect
of Lord Gifford's decree was to confirm the proceed-
ings in the Court below, and his Honour felt bound to
say, that considering the view which Lord Gifford took
of the facts, nothing could be more just than his deci-
sion. The other avocations of the Noble Lord had,
however, prevented him from bestowing upon them
that attention which his Honour had time to give the
case, and which induced him to conclude that the whole
lof these lawproceediogs were a fraudulent scheme to
!get possesion of this estate. His Honour, therefore,
altered the decree which hid been made by his pre-
decessor.
