LAW lATELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. f.
Bußviroli v. WARD.
The Plaintiff and Defendant live near Hammer-
smith ; the former residing with his mother, the latter
is a blacksmith. The action was brought on account
of the defendant saying the plaintiff stole a horse, like
a horse-stealing thief as he is !
It appeared that one Rogers had sent an unsound
horse to the defendant to be cured, and be had him
some time under his care, but Rogers being desirous
of having it removed, the plaintiff, who is his parti-
cular friend, took it away from the defendant's field,
which so vexed him, that, together with other abuses,
he applied to him the language already mentioned,
which was proved by his mother, Mrs. Burlton.
Lord ELLEXBOROUGU here stopped the cause,observ-
ing, that the defendant being a little sore at the loss
of his job, went and scolded this young man ; but as
the way in which the horse was removed did not con-
stitute felony, neither did the angry words spoken
convey such a charge. He thought a Juror should
be withdrawn, and let each party sit down with his
own costs.—A Juror was•actordingly withdrawn.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEB. 2.

WRI.SFORD V, JARVIS.
This was as action to recover the value of a bale
of goods, the property of Messrs. Wclsford and Co.
shipped onboard the Eleanor, of which Messrs. Jar-
vie and Co. were owners.
From the testimony adduced in support of the
case, it appeared that five bales of woollen goods
were shipped on board the Eleanor, Capt. Thomas,
bound for Monte Video, on the Ist of November,
1806. These goods were consigned to a gentleman
named Wreyford, the agent of Messrs. Welsford and
Co. resident at the port of destination. On the arri-
val of the vessel at Monte Video, Captain Thomas
delivered his letters t Mr. Wreyford, who was thus
apprized of the goods which were consigned to him.
He asked Captain Thomas when the goods would be
landed ? and on receiving an indefinite answer, he
begged Captain Thomas would give him due infor-
mation of the day on which they were to be landed,
in order that he might be present to receive them.—
With this request Captain Thomas promised to com-
ply, and on the landing of the first two'bales notice
was given to Mr.Wreyford, and they were safely con-
veyed to store. In about a week subsequent to that
period, the other three bales were taken on shore and
left on the quay. Captain Thomas then went to in-
form Mr. %Vreyford of the circumstance, but neglect- •
ed to take the precaution of leaving a guard on the
packages ; and on Mr.Wreyford's going down to the
qua .1 in about an hour afterwards, one of the bales
had been carried off by some of the lower order of the
Spaniards, 'who took every opportunity of conunitting
depredations. As this loss was occasioned by the cul-
pable negligence of the Captain, and not attributable
to any visitation of Puovumccit by stress of weather
or otherwise, the owners of the vessel became respon-
sible.—Verdict for plaintiff, damages £lBl 3s.

DERREY V. WOOD.
In this action Messrs. Wood and Atkins, the lal

Sheriffs, were the nominal defendants. The action
was brought to recover £lO, the amount of a debt,
due by a man named Hobbs, to the plaintiff, against
Whom a writ was sued out; and who was actually ar-
'listed. The Sheriff's Officer, however, who had him
in custody, suffered him to gn .at large without a pro.'
per bail•bond, and, at the time for the return of the
writ, did not produce his prisoner ; he was conse.
liuently guilty of an escape, and became liable for
he debt due by Hobbs.
The sister of Hobbs was called to prove the amount
• the debt due, but, she could not swear to more than
10s. Under this circunastauce the plaintiff was
