COURT OF CHANCkRY; DECEMBER 1Z
HILL ro. T110.14P506 A$D OTURKt
This was an ApPlicatien to his Lordship to ;new
an injunction to prevent tie defendants froth making
bar iron according to the specification of the plain.
tiff's patent for manufactering it out of iron cinders
and aline rubbish, and correcting the koal short by
lime. His Lordship in the first instance granted tht
injunction, but on an application on the putt of the
defendants, his Lordship dissolved it, at the same
time enjoining the defendants to keep an account un-
til the plaintiff sought his remedy at law, by trying,
the validity of his pateot. He oid so, by bringing
;his action, which strAs tried in the Court of Commp#
Pleas, and occupied two days, when the' Jury retur-
ned a verdict for tbe plaintiff, thereby establishing his
right of patent.
The LORD Cumiceu.on observed, that this was
more a question of law than of fact ; therefore it was
necessary that the opinion of the Judges of the Court
of Common Pleas ought again to be taken on it be-
fore he would grant the injunction.—Motion refused.
DECEMBER is.
The Loan Cuwecet.Loa, on coming into Court.
intimated that he should postpone giving judgments
in several cases, as he had to go to the House of
Lords for the purpose of proroguing Parliament to
the 27th of January. He thought it was right td
deter giving judgments, as thereby the Learned
Counsel at the Bar would have more opportunity of
trikingmotions.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMBER 16.
WHIM/MD AND WM 9. BURROW AHD YOUR °THU&

SAME W. SAMIL.
These were two actions of assault arising out of
the same transaction, the one by husband and wife,
aad the other by the husband alone against the five
detendant& The first defendant on record, Barrow,
was the keeper of a house for the reception of Luna-
tics, at Huston, and the others were tradesmen in
tte same neighbourhood. The leading circumstances
I of the case were these :—The plaintiff was a wine
and porter merchant residing in the Commercial.
road, and on the 81st of July last, Mrs. Whitfield
had been to a neighbouring shop, end W.IS returning
home, being within a hundred yards of her own door.
The five &Indents came from Lucas-street, where
it was alledged they had been to a sparring match
and all surrounded Mrs. Whitfield. using some ante=J
corous familialities with her, but none of the deft*
dints could be distinctly identified exctpt Burrow 1
L;..
who bad a contracted leg and wore an iron stilt. et
Mrs. Whitfield screamed (Alt, and just then her hus-
band happened to be passing, and seeing his wife
had been illareated, he rushed in and gave tome One
of the party a blow. This Was returned by Burrow,
"who gave the husband a blow across the tare which
knocked him down, and at the same time gave him
a kick with his iron.shod foot, which broke his leg.
In this state of things several persons came up, and
the defendants were forced to go to the half-way
house in that neighbourhood, when they were corn•
pelled to give their several names and residences ;
but Burrow behaved so outrageously, that he was
taken to the watchhOusr, and confined all night.
The Jury, in the first action, for assaulting the
wife. found all the defendants Guilty, with One
Shilling Damages; and in the second action, for
assaulting the husband, found Burrow, only, Guilty;
and Damages, £IUO.
MAMA v. MASON.
This was an action by the plaintiff, who was Third
Mate of the Providence East Indiaman, against the
defendant, as Captain of that ship, for breach of con.
tract. The agreement declared upon was, that if the
plaintiff would get himself sworn to as Third Mate,
at the India House, he should receive him on board
the Providence; and that he should mess in the cuddy
(the Captain's mess), free of expense. This he re-
fused to let him do when the plaintiff afterwards got
on board.
Mr. Wild, clerk to Smith. Tumbrel), and Co.
owners of the ship, proved chit he had made the con-
tract on behalf of Captain Mason with the plaintiff,
and that he promised the plaintiff should mess in the
caddy ; that the•plaintiff was sworn in and went thit
voyage; and- ther•Fourtb Mate, Thomas Drapet;
proved that the Captain refused to let the plaintiff
mess in the ,cuddy after he got on board, and was
obliged to props.* a mess for himself, which was very
expensive.
The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages £l9O.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. iB.
CAUSTOII v. FINDLAY.
Mr. Serjeant Best opened this case, and stated it I
to be an action brought to recos'er damages for Ebel

was, and took with her Eliza Edwards as her set.
vast. In the course of the voyage this servant was
seduced by the defendant, the Master llf the vessel.
' The consequence was, that she became pregnant,
and unfit for the service for which she had been en.
gaged. They bad .much difficulty as. to evidence.
The inconvenience sustained iu Sicily they could not
'ptoire at this distance. They must place the woman
herself in the bog, but she was still under the pro-
suction of Captain Findlay, and would therefore give
her evidence as unfavourably as she could.
Eliza Edwards, a genteel young woman, was
called into the box, and gave evidence to this effect :
She was engaged by Mrs. Causton, in October 1814,
for needle-work and family affairs, but more as a
companion than as a common servant. She was en•
gaged for three years if she liked the situation. Mrs.
Causton. Miss Prior, and site went to Portsmouth ;
three days after she was introduced to Capt. Findlay,
the Master of the Rock, as a passenger. From
Portsmouth they sailed to Plymouth. About a week
