declining to insist upou them, did nut proceed front a
conviction of the absence of right, but frotu poverty in
the Liberties of the Roll•.

For the pisintif . on the othtr hand, it was con-
tended, that as the inhabitants of Lhiculu's-inn did
not pay tithes, they should not be liable to rates.
That they supported their own limper!, and it was
proved, that in the case of a pauper, named Knight,
who had been apprenticed to a shopkeeper in t!3e square,
that the society paid for his maintenance at the Rolls'
workhouse. That the Liberty of the Rolls had con-
stables of their own, no one of whom ever entered
Lincoln'ssinn to serve any process ; and, that the in-
habitants of Lincoln's-inn never served any of the p
rich offices in the Liberties of the Rolls. That
part of the parish never had been charged for wa b-
uten for Lincoln's-inn. It was also proved, by a docu-
ment put in, that this very ground waspart of the pos.
Nylons of the Templar'; and, it was argued, that like
all other religious lands, it should be considered extra-
parochial.
51 r. SCAR LETT. in his reply, answered the argument
of the plaintiff, as to no charge having been made for
watchmen, by saying, that the Society had taken the
watching into their own hands, and would not trust to
the parili watchmen. It did not make for the plain-
tifflthat no constable entered the Inn, for the inksbitanti were so —pr'aceabTir they did nit require one.
They had not been required to serve the parish offices,
because the greater part of the inhabitants being at-
torneys or barrister!, were exempt from serving them
by law. It was tine that religions lands were extra-
-1
parochial, but it did not follow that all tint lands 4
die Templar! were so: for, as they beeatpe trgasts-,
they made new purchases, which bad net the sane
privileges attached to them. Upon the whole. beton.
tendril, that three I,remiscs had no claim to be consi-
dered extra-pipoctial.
" The Learned Jtcr told the Jury, if they were of
opinion that the !tikes in question were proved to
be locally situate within the bounds of the Liberties
of the Rolls, they must fhid for the defendants. He
thought the proofs very strong that way, and lie far-
ther thongOthat being proved to he locally situate
within the Wands of the parish, there was no realms
fur saying they should be considered as extra-parochial.
The Jury found for the defendants. The..effect of
this verdict is to make these premises liable to the
Parish-frers.

Mr. Jeavis stated, that this was a most important
Ve : it was an action to cover the mount of a Tian.
Illy of sinter plate that era‘sasestatlise Chester mail, of
which the defendants are proprietors. It appeared that,
la the latter part of June, last year, the plaintiff, who is
ipost respectable gentleman residing near Ecclesball,
Staffordshire, sent an order fora considerable quantity
forks, spoons, &c. to Mr. Thomas Wilkinson, a
aiserssuith in Piccadilly, which was accordingly packed,
sad sent to the Golden Cross, CharingLeross, directed
" Wm. Mil, Esq. Brocton Noose, wear Recleshall,

e was not any notice given that it dental:led articles
ae. It, however, never was received, and Mr. %Vil-
a having recovered the amount of his demand
sat the present plaintiff. he sought to recover of the

proprietors.
A lad of the name of Rigg was examined by Mr.
Postax, and proved the delivery of the box. There sea
also the receipt of the coach-tithe* clerk.
la his cross-examination by Mr. (.1.4R11, who, with
tr. Cotters, conducted the defence, he distinctly swore
at he did not see the notice-board which was placed in
,the office, and which was produced in Court.
The next witness was Mr. Wilkinson.
relelaroved the
parking of the box, and hs being add as before ,
described. A very close cross-examinatiou of this wit. ,
lien took place by Mr. Cosine; nothing, however, wee I
elicited to serve the defendants. He, al well as the pre.
eroding witnear, hod bees seaweed Osseo to she etioeb
oiler in question, and he most positively denied ever
having read the notice-board, or eves havint heard that
any notice had been given by the ddlbsidants. Ile never

Herr Mr. Cs.aaa took an objection to the form of the
declaration, bein at variance with the address on the
box, that &sic Jog-g has being " tole left et I.:vele:4El4"

and on the -" to be near Eceleshall," without craw-
-1
ing it to he I any where.
The Cater Ihuas said, he should make a note of the
objection. The main question, however, was, whether
persons takigg goods to coach-offices were Mead to
see the usual notices given by coach proprietors, by
placing boards, acquainting persons sending gitylneit
their coaches that they would not be answerable
a certain amount.
The Learned Cater Batton was of opinion they were
not compellable to see such notices, and a verdict was
taken for the plaintiff for 7W. 151. the amount sought to
be recovered.
