manded by Captain Mooos, being upon the coaft of

occurred to the Fiat Lieutenant, Mr. Fitosiow, that
fomething might be done to annoy the enemy even
with this • and he not only purred to fit her up as
a gun boat, with a t:lb. carronade, but alfo volun-
teeted to take the command of her hithfelf. Four
feansen; four marines. Mr. Loon's'. Mailer's Mate;
and Mr. EST TIIWOETN, Miditipman, made up the
crew. Being thus ptovided. they immediately failed
into the harbour of Havre, and came to an anchor
about five in the morning, determined to brave every
event fortune might eapofe them to. They had not
been long in this fituauon before they yaw a hoop,'
deeply laden. about to come into the harbour.—
They determined to attack ber, did fo, and rnme-
diately carried her. Mr. B. with two men, was
placed aboard her. and directed to proceed to the

and coming within pigol Blot, opened a heavy fire
of grape (hot upon the boat; her fans were torn,
and her hull was guttered; but fortune, which al-
ways favours the brave, preferved rbe lives of the
gallant men who were oa board of her. Not at all
aircouraged by the inequality of the cornea, they
kept up a brig' and determined fire with their carro-
made upon the brig, beat in her quarter. and as the
was crowded with men who volunteered for the ocea.

on both fides. till the frigate, having heard the can-
nonade, and made fan towards the harbour, checked
the impetuofity of the Frenchmen, who. *calking
their own &fay, left the boat with her prise. sad
made the beg of their way into Ham. Bravely and

This being a paper day, nothing occurred at all in-

the Criurt gave their opinion only in one. The point
orat which this turned was, whether a pronsifea con-
Woad in a letter, to-pay a bill of exchange when it
became due, was to be cooftdered as an acceptance t
The Judges were all of opinion that the Defendant
baying .made this pronsife, was as much bound as it
be had put his name to the foot of the bill. This has
bpia laid:down as law repeatedly before, and is con•
ilantivafted upon in the mercantile world.

murdered his own father." This occationed a hif-
and a gentleman went and pulled him down;
and there it ended. On his crofs.examination, he
laid, it was reported Sir Edward Ailley died a na-
tliral death.

The Cotinfel for the Defendant (Mr. GURNEY),
ar,:ed the witnefs, hether General Money under-
linod that the Dcfeudantmeant to impute to the Plain-
tiff the murdzr of his father, by Reel, or potion, or
by vi, lence ?
This queßion was o!•jeeted to by Mr. ERSeINE, and
the Learned Judge fairf, he had allowed the objec-
tion ; bur the witnefs afterwards exprelling a &fire to
anfwcr the sueftion, was allowed to do fo, and he
laid he was Itruck with fo much horror at whit he
had heard, that he never put any interpretation at
all upon the words.
The witnefs was then afked, whether he at all
thought the worfe of Sir Jacob Aftley, in coat-el:pence
of thefe words ? •

M. EKSKINF. ohjeacd to the queftion, and the
Learned Judge laid he had iiiiallowed it.
Lord ELLIINBOROUGH faid, he entertained great
doubt whether that flight to have been received. In

faid of him? He thought it was a very material quer-
tion, inafmuch as it went in mitigation of damages.
Mr. Easkiks faid, he had not the bait recollection
of rucii a queflion hiving bccn tendered at the trial.
Neither had his Learned Friend Mr. WiLsoa any
recollection of it.

Mr. Gas tow obferved, that he mild refre(h their

tides, he had a thort.hand report of what pafTed upon

Mr. Jullice Gaon Paid, the quetlion at the time
teemed to hies to be the fame he had before decided

Lord ELLExsocouom.—lt is clear there mull be

The rule for the new trial was accordingly made

COWPER V. M•RTI..

This was a motion for a new trial, and was very
ably argued by Mr. Serjeant Sii.tow, in Ibewing
caufe againtt the Rule, and by Mr. Wizson in fup•
port of it.
The tweßion in this cafe was, whether a father-in-
law was bound to maintain his children-in law
The Plaintiff bad mariied the Defendant's mother,
who had the Defendant and fix or coven other ehii-
' dren by a former !inland. The Defendant had rived
io the tinufe cf his fatber-inlaw, and this alibis iris
brought fur five years board during his minority.
The Jury found a verdift fur Plantiff fir sot. dagger
get: And it appeared that double that Iwo woad
not have fupported him.
The Learned Serjeant contended, that at there was
no natural relation between the father in.law and the
fon-in-law, he was not bound to find him in neceffa-
ries. The Ilatute of Elizabeth only extended to na
tural relations. The Plaintiff Rood in the tituati, n
of a lb-anger to the Defendant, and there was no
legal obligation on him to fupport his children-in
law.—The Learned Serjeant eonfidered the cafes that
had been decide& and Ibewed that aH the late autho-
rities were in his farcnr.

Mr. WI tsow. on the other hand, contended, that
a man was bound to maintain his wife's children by a
former hufband. not becaufe there was any natural
relation between them, but becaufe their mother was
bound to maintain them, and he. by marrying her.
fueceeded to her obligations, and was bonnd to main•
taro them during the covertire, and no loager. Hav-
ing taken her to wife. he was as liable to that debt,
as he was to her ether debts. The Learned Counfel
cited a great number a cafes in fupport of this
dodtrine.

The Court, nn the late& authorities as this point,
ware of opinion, that a father-in-law was not bound
to fupport his wife's children. But if he once took
them into his hook, and udder his proteilion, and
other people furrefhed them with necefaries, in that
cafe the law confidered that he hadadopted them,
that he Rood is loco parrxtir, and was liable to pay
for necefraries, at for clothes, education, he.

Mr. Jultice LAWSEtics obferved, that force of the
cafes bad coniideved this as a debt, and that the huf-
hand was bound for this as be was fnr other debts of
his wife. There was no sioubt that the man was
Lound for the debts of his wife. But he conceived
it WAS a miflake to ftypole this 'vas a debt. It Was
an eb!igaticn in the wife to fupport her children, if
the was of ability ; but alto. fhe WAS married to a fe-
cond hufband, it could not be enforced again!! her.
The quell inn here wa‘, whether a flranger, having
undertaken tii find neceffariec, and hiving found
them, was not a good cnnlideration for a prom & to
pay.—Rule diti Urged.
