were taken on to Bedford, and delivered to the plain-
tiff, the defendant never having discovered that any
of them had been stole*. When the boxes were opened,
however, the loss was immediately ascertained, and the
defendant being unable to account for their disappea
once, and refusing to relmnerate the plaintiff, the pre•
sent action was brought.
Several witnesses were then called, who stated that
the goods were tightly and securely fastened when take,

Mr. Sergeant Wm's, for the defendant.. qpikafied
that the defendant was not liable for any aveoievelle
yoad a unless. the goods. intrusted to his .cietwaiellui
stated to be of greater value, and paid for acne:dine))
at a higher rate. Notice to this effect was given by the
defendant to every person for whom be carried pro-
perty, and he would prove that it bad been given to
the plaintiff. The Learned Sergeant would also call
witnesses, who would prove that the goods were not
packed as goods of such value should have been. In-
stead of being firmly eased, they were put into slight
boxes nailed down with two or three small nails, and
bound with very thin cord. In short, be would prove
that the plaintiff herself had been most guilty of negli-
gence; and he thought that under such scircuanstances
the Jury would not deem the defendant responsible.
Witnesses were then called, who described the manner
in which the goods were packed, and stated that a watch
was kept on the waggon during the. whole of its stay at
Bell Bar. The only notice, however, which could be
proved to have been given by the defendant, of his not
holding himself responsible for any amount beyond SI.
without a special insurance, was in 1817. and then to the
plaintiff's brother.
The Loan Cates JUSTiCit left it to the Jury, under
all the circumstances, to say whether they did not think
tie defendant had been guilty of negligence?
The Jury retired upon this question, and having re-
mained in deliberation some hours, returned a verdict
for the plaintiff—Damages 3151. 6s. 4d.
MIT.I.D. RATLS•f. •
la this action tbe plaintiff :might to Mayer a sum of
901. the balance of an account which had arisen in the
sale of horses at Kingston fair, in the awning of 1818.
The defendant contended. that he bad paid the whole.of
the purchase money when the horses wars bonght; ned
upon this point witnesses were called on both sides, who
swore directly contrary to each other. It appeared in
the course of the trial, that the defendant:bad made an
affidavit before Mr. Alderman &holey, in which be swore
that the whole of the purchase money bad been paid.
The Loan Cates Jamey., in summing up, remarked
upon this circumstance. He considered it highly im-
proper that affidavits of -this kind should ever be-made
before a Magistrate. who bad no jurisdiction in such
matters ; nor was the party aging the affidavit liable
to a prosecution for penury. The Magistrate. in re-
relying them, was only sanctioning an neneememey
appeal to the DUTY. Lord Eldon had, indeed, held
'betake Magistrate and the party making such an a 5.
davit were guilty of, and might be punished for. moor
demeanor.--The Jury returned a verdict for the plebe
tiff—Damages SOL .
RORIIIIOII D. STAIIRRIDOE.
This was an action of contract, in whiob the plaintiff
sought to recover the value of a quantity of tallow,which
the defendant had contracted to purchase from him.
In his defence. the defendant insisted that the cow.;
tract was merely a time-bargain on the price of the
tallow.—The contract was not produced, but it sp.
peered from the evidenire of the witnesses called, that a
time•bargain with floret to stock had been entered
into between the parties just about the period of the al-
leged contract for tallow.
Evidence was then given by the defendant, to prove
that at the time of the contract the plaintiff bad the
tallow in his possession, and also that the defendant bad
made an attempt to undersell it to a third party.
The Loan Cars, Joanna summed up, leaving the
case in the bands of the Jury on the facts they had heard
stated, obeerving, however. that should they be of op&
pre.
union that this contract was a time-bargain in ullow, be
did not think the• transactioa sufficiently illegal to
vent the plaintiff from recovering. That be was costa
pelled to,.hold such an opinion he certainly much rev
stetted,-because he was one of those &A fsehioned pair
uuans who were now denominated illiberal. He thought
however, that * day would come when those illiberal
opinions would, be proved to be founded on truth,
,and when by the operation of those principles of trade
which. were now deemed liberal, it would be found

that we had descended from the brilliant situation to
which our old and honest principles of trade had raised
us. By the old system a seal transfer of property always
took place; this was not the case with the present, which
had communicated itself to every branch of trade, and
hatrendered this once mighty city one great gambling
hou.e. This injurious practice created a fictitious value
upon articles of necessary consumption, and the public
were therefore compelled to pay the price of this abo-
minable spirit of speculation. With these remarks, he
would leave the use to the Jury.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.
The Loan Cam Jurrice then said he would give
the defendant leave to move to set it aside on the ground
of the illegality of the transaction.
PLEVILWELL V. CARTEL
Mr. Sergeant WILDP: (with whom was Mo.• Parse)
stated that this was an action of slander brought by
the plaintiff. the master of the Tottenham workhouse,
to recover compensation for the injury that his characv
ter might sustain from the aspersions Mrs. Carter had
east upon it. She had said that he had applied ts e
provisions of the workhouse to his own purposes. The
Jury would see that such an impotaiion was highly in.
jurious, at.d he trusted they would give such a verdict.

Hasty Bunker was indicted for assaulting Alderman
Atkins. Upon being called on to plead, he stated that
he was not guilty or striking the worthy Alderman,
though he certainly did accidentally run against him,
for which he was very sorry, and wished to make
every apology.

s Mr. Alderman Atkins here interposed. He stated
that aim his application at Guildhall, he had ascer-
tained that the character of the defendant was of a very
diferent description to what he then expected—he found
he had been in the employment of Messrs. Twinings,
the tea dealers, in the Strand, for upwards of four years,
sod they gave him an excellent character—he was con-
sequently quite satisfied that it was not the intention of
this young man to have robbed him, of which, at the
time, he 'apposed was the case: he had also learnt
freer Mr. T. that in consequence of this trantaction he
had been discharged from his situation, which was a very
severe punidimentr that Gentleman, too, had with'
hit name as owe of his bail, and he hid in
Wen

Tne assault evidently was not iniended
his isiddially, but for any person who came un-
ttssistleir 6.116 way, and was what was called a
" lark"..aliAtssi however, quite time that young
Geodestes' &maid be taught, that practising these
.4 larks" in the street was a much more sesipas offence
Ithan they imagined ; for, had he lost his life; an occur.
fence that might have happened, it would be a poor
compensation to his family, and a poor defence for the
prisoner in a Court bE Justice, to say it was only a
" lark." He had no desire to send the young man back
to prison, which, in the event of conviction, must be
the case ;le would theiefore propose, that he elute into
his own recognizance to appear at the mext Sessions;
and if he properly demeaned himself, of which he (Al-
derman Atkins) should make strict inquiry, he would
see the Messrs. Twinings, and endeavour to prevail
*pen them to reinstate him in his situation.
The'defendant expressed his 'gratitude, and, having
catered into his recoguizances, left the Court.
Harford Tovibakon, a Bow-street patrol, was in-
dicted for assaulting and falsely imprisoning, for t
space of one hour, Joseph Fouche. The prosecutor was
passing along one of the streets its the City, when he was
stopped by the defendant; who, taking out his staff, in.
sisted on searching the bag; it contained nothing hoc.
chaff for his masters (Mr. Bloomfield) horses.
Several respectable persons who were passing at the
time confirmed the statement of the prosecutor.
Mr. Mortimer (one of the witnesses) said that he had
acted sissy improperly, and gave him into custody. He
bad been in confinement for about three weeks.
The Jury found the defendant Guilty, and the Court
sentenced him to be further imprisoncd for the space
Of fourteen days.
William Livermore pleaded Guilty to an indictment
charging him with assaulting Abraham Coley, a City
°Seer. The defendant was a notorious pickpocket, and
one of an organized gang. He had been tried more than
once at the Old: Bailey, and lived by thieving. The
assault was of the most desperate nature.
The CotAtr sentenced him to be imprisoned for three
months, and to be kept to hard labour.

This was an appcal from the decision of the Lord
Mayor, who had made an order of affiliation on the
defendant, he being the reputed father of a child, born
in the workhouse on the 13th of April, the mother,
Mary Ann Franklyn, having been previously in the
service of the defendant. She repeated her declara-
tion, made before the Lord Mayor at the time in
which she charged the defendant, and which we
gave at the time. She underwent a long cross-exa-
mination by Mr. Phillips, Counsel for the Appellant.
She admitted that she could not swear to the month she
was seduced by the defendant, and that she had seen
him subiequently, but he did not speak to her. She
never bad said that the father of the child was a clerk
at Bloxam's.
Mr. Paritin addressed the Court for the cllf. cadent,
and impogned the character of Franklyn. e called
two witnesses, who had seen her dressedin male attire
while she was in the service of her master—but the
Court, after heating the witnesses, and celiberating some
time, confirmed the conviction.
