Jury.
ninxm.to r. 1.11;NOI.D.

Mr. aI'INFY stated, this was an action brought by

t'se plaintiff to recover the sees of 3,00 W. the ani)nnt

of a bond executed by the defendant ; It would be
oily necessary for him .to prove the signature of the
defendant to the bond to entitle the plaintiff to a ver-
dict. The execution of the bond was then proved.
Mr. SCARLETT, Counsel for the defendant, said, he
wlt much mistaken if the plaintiff could recover on
this bond, it was so vitiated. 1k would state to

the Court and Jury by what means the plainta had
obtained this bond from his son, fur the plaintiff was
the father et the defendant. The plaintiff hail been a
banker at Norwich, and was Se:retary to the Norwich
Insurance Company. He wished to have his sun, the
defendant, married to the daughter of a Mr. Crowe ;

Nliss Crowe was to receive a fortune of 4,01101. from her
father on the marri-ge taking place. The plaintiff
was to make over to the defendant an esta:e be bad in
Market-plate, Norwich, of the value of about 3,000 W.
width suss to be settled on Mks Crowe ; the marriage

took place, and the settlements were executed ac-
c.wiling to this agreement. The plaintiff, behind the
back of Mr. Crowe and his daughter, gets his son, the
defendant, to give bin, this bond for 3,110 a, thereby
cmtaitting a fraud upon Mr. Crowe.
Mr. Justice Lissy interrupted the Learned Counsel,
and observed, a Court of Law could not glee the tle
reorient relief, as he was a party to the fraud on his
; therefore the Jury were bound to give a verdict
for the plaintiff. Coutt of Equity would certainly
give the relief required, and even set the ver,liet of
the Jury aside.

MY. tiIIINET said, he nndersloo.l the rirramstarres
of the case to be very different from his Learned
Friend's statement.

The Jury gave a verdict for the plainti,r—Damages
li.—Costs 40s.

rantile anti shipping interests was beard, yesterday.

the Lord Mayor upon a summons at the ioitan:e of
.1. it ill, Esq.. Consul fur Hanover, upon a charge of
having obtained the papers of an Minos-mist% vessel,
mi,ler false pretences. and with ha% ing reit...et] to &-
liver them up unless a certain sum of money was
givro to hint.
_ _ .

A. F. fiehriags stated, that he was the Captain of ,
ar Hanoverian vessel ; and that beiw, at anchor,
veral days sines', near the King's Arms. Lioselsou,e,
11 liseanorill came en hoard, awl asked the %sillies,
rr!,et her he had yet engaged any hro:,er, and upon
I-eing aoseremi in the negative. asked Telietkee the
witness would accept him as his bro!.er ? nituess
replied, that he must have a I g.tl ben! er ; upon
which Mr. Emannelli said, that he was a h.'oket, and
tl:at all Ilse witness's countrymen were umter his con-
s'zionent. and asked for his ship's pipers. The Cap-
tun refused to deliver them to him, on the grounds
t' at he was a perfect stranger. Mr. Emannelli re-
f .Geed that he was a good man, and lettl, or had had,
the linsiness of all leis countrymen, and would faith-
fully execute the business of his ship. They were at
als time in the cabin. and the ship's rye's were
lying on a bench behind the Captain, when Mr. Ennui-
e•-:li took them tip ; upon whieh the Captain asked
lin for these back afain. Mr. Eminnelli assisted
WA that he did the business of his con•.trymen, anti
use him well. The Captain at lenels said,
tat if all which Mr. Emannelli had told hi,., was
t • tr, ho should du the business, pros ided I,e tie-
veted the ship's pass to the Consul of his country.
i.is Mr. Ensanaelli assented to, and paid the water-
s. in for bringing the ship up the river, as it was Cul-
t. :71 ay for the broker to do. The Captain further
steed, that he came on shore on the fmlowing morn-
to get the ship reported at the Custom House,
a• I went to the counting-house of Mr. Emannelli for
C. At purpose, but no one was at home ; and after wait-
g for some time, he was obliged to apply to another
1:•••‘ 'n to do that duty. The Captain stated, that he
14erwards Went repeatedly to the counting-house of
Dtr. Easannelli, to get from him the ship papers, and
t• rdering him at the saute time the twelve shillings
r :IA he bad paid to the waterman, hut Mr. Ennui-
r•!::i refused to deliver them up, unless a charge of
-toeen two or three pounds were paid. This the
C p aim said be slid not think proper to do, as nu
d .•ies to warrant that charge had been performed.
Mr. Halt stated. that he was his Majesty's Consul
for Hanover; and that the Captain came to him,
and claimed his assistance, as the Consul of his coon-
tey, to obtain the papers from Mr. Etnannelli. They
w'nt to the counting-house of the latter, who said he
was ready to deliver up the papers, on charge of
it 3s. 641. for commission business, &c. The depo-
nent, Mr. Einannelli, was then told, that he would be
proceeded against for having obtained the ship's
papers under false pretences, when he denied having
represented himself as a broker.
Mr. Hall added, that he had thought proper to
Is Sex these proceedings before the Chief Magistrate,
as persOns made a practice of interrupting foreign
Captaius, and obtaining their papers under the repre-
sentation of being regular brokers, when they were
not 50.
Mr. Eusanoelli denied that he had stated himself
to be a broker ; but in other, respes. Is *drilled the
truth of the Captain's stateasent. la making the re-
persentation which he had to.the Captain, he had ad-
vanced nothing but the troth. He only represented
hissself as a ship-agent, lib which rapacity he did most
4 the business fur the Hanoverian Captains. He bad
talon the ship's papertes security fur the money ad-
vecnt.d. avid as security of nen:reel. The Capt,ile

PROVINcIAL Boxixo.—A seeond battle between
Cabirav and Newton took place a few days since, at
Itford, between Bristol and Bath, for bOl. aide ;
and also the division of the gate money. There was a
good muster of the Fancy from Bath and Bristol, in
consequence of its being a secood fight, and Cabbage
basing defeated Newton of-hand; the latter having
bad the character of one of the best boxers of his
weight, in B:istul. The odds were decidedly in fa-
vour of Cabbage. At one o'clock the combatants en-
tered the ring, Cabbage was seconded by Neate and
Bub Watson; and Newton by If. Lancaster and Santy
Pearson. ft consisted only of four cootols. The first
two were sell contested, Newton taking the lead; but
in the fourth round. Cabbage went down from a hit
on the side of his head, and could not, or at least did
not, come to the scratch when time nits called. Great
Insurntariaigs occurred ; the spectators insisted mew-
-1 thing was wrong ; and Lockley declared all the bets
to be off The empires, it seems, were also dissatisfied.
Bat Cabbage declared be was stnpihed from the severe
i effect. of the blow. The Datfy's Club, held at the
Sam Porch's, the Guildhall Tavern, in' Bristol, under
the direction of their President, Bill Neate, have, not-
withstand's& offered to back Cabbage against Mrs-1
ham Belau° for 100 guineas.
