he, " I'll make it all up directly." Whether his ftizod
wuid be able ,to mike it up with the plaintiff, he
,could not tell. Mr. Bruugham had also comraewed
.upon the fine language of the defendant, in having
used the word " aperture," but he could not help
thinking that if his client had availed himself of those,
excellent tracts for the diffusion of knowledge which
had done his friend so much credit, that his friend,
ought to have been the last person to have found fault
with him for so doing.
Lord TIIINTUDILS Kid, the plaintiff had proved the
libel. and the justification had wholly failed. The
plaintiff had obtained a new place, but it did not appear
how long she had been out of service.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damagessi.

Plaintiff said to him, " Did you address yourself tome,

COURT OF COM MON PI.F.AR, Outcome. Lt., Oct. 29. •
Before Mr. Juitice PARK and Special Juries.
MOUNT tr. HARRISON.
Mr.I);ATT opened the pleadings. This was as
action on a policy of insurance toe 1 9001. efficted,
on the frright of a ship called the Olive Branch, to'
and from the Cape of Good Hive to London, which
the.dectaration alleged was LOA by perils or the sea.—
The defendants pleaded the general issue.
Mr. Sergeant WILos stated the case. The policy'
was effected in Aasgost, 1822; and iu July, 1825, s• hile
.the ship was taking in her cargo at Table Bay, -she was
driven ashore in a 'violent of winds and so omen
damaged that the Captain deemed it would be naosti
adVisable to sell her, which
.he accordingly did. It
1
would be proved that every elation had been made to
save the ship and bet' freight, and that when she was
ashore every attention was paid that was thought likely-
to contribute to het safety. The Captain of the Olive
Branch was proved td leave bee,' since dead, but his
son and several other witnesses coafitMed the case as it
had been stated, adding, that the ship was five Months
on show, but that the had beers since got off, and had
made several voyages—two to this cosantrs.
Mr. Sergeant TAHDY, (with whoa's was Mr. Sergeant
Srssicia),lor she defendant, contended that the evi•
sfence for the plaiotif was not sufficient to *hew that
ibe vessel was in a situation of such extreme dap/kir as
to warrant the sales and it had been lield:that iaukss it
was evident thc.the ship was inciNibli Of ever going
to sea again, the Captain had n 6 Ititlatity to sell her.
Now it appeared twirl the plaMtilei:' witotts%ess
that the ship bad _since been got ice, and bad made se•
sera voyages. and among others to this county. He
contended, therefore, that under these circumstances
the plaintiff had no right to recover.

Mr. Justice Palm left it to the Jury to say wAietker

Mr. Cribb said that his friends and he had adopted the present
course in order that the public night judge Interne the ravish
Authorities and tin Roseanne Magistrates. In sorbet to *wee
that the former tont not deserving the ►lame so liberally cast upon
diem, be should Wisner the lellowihg circumstance. Mr. Rich-
t/14nm now present, vibe@ admihistering t►e affairs of the parish,
applied to Alt. Halls for assistance to clear the streets of the dis-
orderly women. Mr. Haas sent him the aid of two officers for that
purpose, ar.i the aserequeace was that Mr. Richardson appeared
the following morning at the office to support a charge of dim,'
linty conduct against thirty preoitutss brought before the Ma-
gistrate, who, however, told Mr. Richardson that there was no
use in sending them to prison, as they would be sure to be in
'the streets again when the period of their soognement expired.—
, Thry were all discharged accordingly; and what was the conse-
quence of the Magistrates forbearance? A gang of 20 of them
came to our door. the next night, abusing and threatening us for
daring to interfere with them. But this was not all, said Mr.•
Cribb, for we bad a charge of St. and upwards brought against us
by the Bonstreet °Seers for their assistance on that occasion—a

gime which the parish resisted, and certainly bad no right to pay.
Mr. Mistaiscia., in explanation of his own conduct and that put-
'sued by his brother Magistrates on the occasion alluded to, begged
the Gentlemen to understand, that unless some .pacific charge were
substantiated against persons accused, it was not la the power of
emotes to send them to prisms. It is not enough that an unfortunalil
woman pursues her calling in the streets ; she must commit am.
off truce her re she can be taken into custody, er at least before to
ear, he sent to gaol; and sending them to prison for a,
k period, even where they were guilty of being disorderly, was
to be the worst plan that could beadopted ; for those who
prison were generally more hardened and desperate whin=
liberty again.
Mr. Skelton, one of the Committee, said, that as that was Oa
ease, It would be useless for the watchmen to take op any w
mks' some chaser could be brought against them. 1k wished.
Tor his nun part, to do his duty, but at the same time he felt he
'common 'with his colleagues, that he could not stand forward as a
public prosecutor.
Mr. Roach observed, that if Magistrates complained of a. wanton
power to ah.te the evils complained of, how could it be expected
that parish officers should of themselves be enabled to do so?
Mr. pibb— We wish it to be understood, that we labour under
the saki* dilficuhy as the Magistrates complain of.
Mr. Thomas, of York street, wished to know if the public.houses
le the neighbourhood of the Theatres were allowed to continue open
one hour after the performances were over?
Mr. Misonuch—The owner o(a public-house who set up that
plea was convicted the other day, on its being proved that the per-
sons who were foetid drinking in his house at the time stated did
,not helot% to the theatres.
Mr. Thomas asked if he was to understand that the houses in the
neighbourhood of the theatres were allowed to continue open for
so extra hour to accommodate such of the company as might chant
to go for refreshment.
