Ibis was an sclon on a charter party brought by
the assignees of • person named Prince, •Rainst
lb. flown. of • vessel called the Magnet, freighted
to Honduras, to return •itb • cargo of mahogany.
From the statement of Mr. Gustair, and from the
evidence of the witnesses esamin•d, it appeared, that
en the •nisei of the Magnet at Illniaduras she was
suspected lint to be se•••oithy, and a y tout
place In •,certain her slate.
Mt. Young, a Master.mariner, who had erased
the Allaivic 18 times, who was present at the survey,
stated, that besides himself there were a Captain of
lb• British Navy, too ship's carpenter., •nd some
other persons assisted at the examination, end that
1 the y eras taken under the authority of the Ma.
sista/aces at Honduras. Several of the beams were
fuutrd to be decayed at the end.. A chisel, upon be-
ing applied, et the wow, stroke sunk into t►e
side, and the ship eel altogether in a very bad state;
soma beams, bu•erer, w•.re soon 1. But the whets.

Mr. GVBAIT, to his reply, 2dadtted, that if it
could be shown shat she Magnet was sea. worthy
elms she 8014 from Flogtand, his Clients would ea
be entitled to a verdict. But ht coi.letsiled, 'but op.
posits as was the ',ldeates, it was not contradictory.
'flee statements of obit witnesses on both sides were
perfectly reconcileable. Mr. Young bad informed
the Jury, that whew the Magnet was stormed at
Honduras, she was found to contain some beams
perfectly sound. Mr. White, and the other Gentle-
man who made the surveys at Gosport, most have
sue only the snood beams. But thoogh there were
GOMAIII proportion of beams in good condition, it
611 Mt follow that there might opt be a selacient
lumber in such a state as to render the navigating of
the vessel highly 'lumen. Mr. Yarns bad no ie.
sliest in the traesaction, and the ether persons en.
wed is the sum bad as little. The rottenness of

enevtain ; sod if the meet had bee■ see.worilly

i*he left the boa to deliberate, and stumped in half
an hoer with a verdict for the Defendants.
1 BIADLIT AND OTIISIIII. ItILLIAIIII ASS 0711111.
Mr. Scum-re said he rose to address the Jury
ender very particular circemstenees, and it would
be for his Lordship to determine whether or eel, in.
der thou circumstances, it would be necessary for
I him to state the facts of the case. It was a very ea.
trusidenary thing for e Counsel le open his cue by
admitting that be could not aspect to succeed Is ob.
Itaining a verdict fur his Cheat ; yet such was his si-
tuation. The Plaintiffs were the assignees of a per-
son named Killers, and the Weirdests bankers
of grist rr'pertabili•y. This action was bfollghl
on the supposition of usury hating been com-
mitted with regard to certain securities held by the
Defeadan.s. Though the circumstances of the case
might be comprised In a very shut &script's's, it
would be necessary, were they submitted to the
Jury, to enter into a very long sad complicated es.
ansinetibn of accounts. He and his Learned Friends
engird with bins in this csse had held a lts.
tine, and Otte convinced that there was sot the
slightest probability if success en the part of the
Plaintiff He did not wish, unless his Lordship
should think it necessary, to enter isle any detail of
1 the circumstances, es he was of opinion, that If he
were able to prove all the facts alleged, It wand be
but a weste of time, as they would sot amount to
usury. This much he thought it justice to the De-
fendants to state, and should be guided by the opi-
nion of his Lordship as to the manner is which be
ought to proceed.
The Loan CUM? JUITICB observed, that when a
Gentleman of Mr. Satiates osmium., stated, that
be was of °plait's' he scald sot prove the facts of his
ease, he most agree with him that it would sell be
wasting the time .f the Court to proceed with Ir.—
lie thought the aerie which Mr. Sudan had taken
was the most proper that could he adopted. As the
matter stood, the result meet he, either a noosait
for the Plaintiff, me a sordid for lb• Defecodstor.
Mr. ScsaLau wished a emelt, anti the Plaintiff
was accot.lingly non suited.
