LAI" INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF K(NG'S BENCH, FEB. 26.
HALL V. PAGE.
Mr. PARKE' stated, that this was what was termed
a qui lam action, brought against the defendant under
the Statute of Usury, for a long series of usurious
•transactions with a person named Foulkes,' formtrly
a respectable builder, but now a ruined man ; that,
howeverovp a circumstance not at all to be wonder.
ed at ; if the charges brought against the defendant
vx.day were true, it was impossible any man should
baye continued otherwise, who had been engaged in
such transactions ; he (Mr. P.) understood he should
be able to prove no less than 24 acts of usury, founded
upon that number of bills which had been discounted
by the defendant for Foulkes. It would, however,
be unnecessary for him to prove all the transactions,
which were divided into St separate counts; it would
be sufficient for him to prove one of them, which,
under the statute, would entitle the plaintiff to recover
treble the amount of the bill discounted in that 'mu-
: rious shape.
"• • Joseph Foulkes was then called, who stated, that
he wag -formerly a builder, and resided en London
Terrace,liackney-road. 'Page, the present plaintiff,
woe then'-his clerk. The witness had at diXerent times
transactions with the defendant, who is a money-
"lender.- ,In• February, 1809 the witness took a bill
..*.to the•defendint, drawn Iry himself, and accepted by
"i'Hall, for -027. 6s. 6d. pay tble at two months, which
, - the defendant discounted for him ; the witness re.
°bared the full amount, namely, 1e27. 6s. 6d. of the
34lefeirdant, and immediately returned him ii'2. 14s. 6d.
t there being an agreement between him and the de.
zfehdant that for all bills which the defendant should
iditscount• for the witness, whether they should have
simile:4'mM or six months to run, the witness should
Ifiratsrediately return him 10 per cent. upon the sum re.
- 'kis, ed, as discount. On the 2d of March following,
.'be tisok another bill, for £49. 19s. 6d. which had two
*Midis to run, for which he received cash, and re.
'lamed the defendant A 4. 19s. 6d. for discount: On
vain 80r11 of March he took • a bill for ,B4t. Ilse' at
three minths, for which he received cash, ata le-
,
',',tuitied £4.. ss. 6d.
••11 Lbrd ZELENBOROUGH here suggested, whether it
-*Xs-necessary to proceed farther.
LAvir.-Pnext said, his client was quite ready to ac-
Telediato the suggestion of his Lordship, and tb take
-w•ifeitlict on the third count ; if he was to proceed, he
tould prove all, the acts -of usury, and the penalties 1
ilweitild be immense.
J. Mr. GARROW said, he would accede to this propo.
shim, which he considered!-ar liberal on the part of the
yaintiff. The defendant, unfortunately for himself,
-,vas in•Ccurt, and wished to-go on with the cue r but
4helplr'i 0.) would not pfoceed, even though instrue- '
boll .so to -' do by the defendant personally, in a cause '
:.iihich must inevitably terminate in his utter ruin.
Lord Ettesiortouou viis proceeding to address the
Jtrry, and olverved, that thtdelendant's Counsel had
..erctel most wisely in acceding to the plaintiff's prop°.
Lailiotin-wheir the defendants Interrupted his Lordship,.
:sod, Tequested that the proofamight be proceeded on.
h... Mr. Gartaow observed, if the defendant was deter-
' opined to, proceed, all he could do for hint was to
I wish the proofs.

-• Mr. Pewee then proceeded to prove several others
.e the counts, when Mr. Garrow .again interposed,
;isnii expressed his hope, that his Lordship would still
-permit the defendant to take advantage of the offer of
the plaintiff, which a momentary insanity had urged '
him to reject; when his Lordship was so good as to
suggest as before. ,
Mr. PARKE sai4, his client was still ready to take a'
verdict on the note dated the 2d of March, 1809, for
. £49 19s. 6d. 1
• • Lord Etternsonounu said,the offer of the plain-
dile Counsel was extremely libeled ; and. it was a
•..'•' . singular perverseness of diSposition which had induced
42!
_the defendant to persist in going on, when the conse. ;
• • tluences roust. have been "a verdict against him for
several thousand pounds, instead of RlB4 Bs.
The Jury, under the direction of his Lordship,'
found a verdict for £154 Bs. .
FEBRUARY 27.—ARUNDELL V. WHITE.
This was an action against the defendant to reco-
- wer the sum of £l2OO for goods sold by defendant on
: *count of the plaintiff. It appeared, that a Mr.
~Ross being about to send goods to St. Andero and
Spain, he appointed the defendant his supercargo.
i -The pkilitiff took the same opportunity of shipping a
quantity of goods in the same ship, which eras char-
