had • employed the Defendant,. an Auctioneer, re-
skiing
at Clapham, to collect sow small rents for
him, and the balance of the account amounted to
IGI. 19a. Gl' to' recover which. the present action
was brought.... The Defendant paid into Court 121.
slid the- Plaintiff, with the advice of his Attorney,
was willing to lake that sum, but the Defendant
refused to pay the costs, and caused a letter to he
written by his Attorney, stating, that he should
apply to the Court for his costs, and bring his ac-
tion for a malicious arrest, thinking thereby to avail
himself of the Statute granting costs to the De-
fendant *beta arrested, and held to bail for more
than the sum due, but the words of the statute only
applied " after verdict ;" and therefore could not
avail him. . .
Lord EttevenanT76ll obqerved, that, sometimes
there seas an inconvenience in being too liberal, can-
did, and gentlemanly, and this Defendant taking ad-
vantage of this, endeavoured to avail himself of the
words of the statute, which was reprehensible in the
highest degree.—Verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages

This was an action fur mooey had and received to
tie Plaintiff's use, and brought against the Defend-
ant as the stakeholder of a wager laid upon a trotting
horse. The p‘rtien were both. of the Jewish per-
, suasion, and meeting.some other sporting characters
of the same tribe, at a public-house in Duke's-place,
in May last, a bet of ‘it) guineas was made by the
' Plaintiff, upon a horse belonging to a person of the
name of Lee, . the terms of the wager being, that the
' horse in question should trot I t miles an hour in
harness. In the course of the evening, other bets
were made tattle same effect, amounting together to
811. which it was agreed should be deposited in the
bands Of the Defendant, until the match should be
decided. In the month of June, the parties again
met at the same public-house, for the purpose of
making good the bets, when the Plaintiff deposited
1811, in the hands of the Defendant, the match being
I appointed to take place in a day or two after. Some
altercation, however, arose upon the event of the
horse getting into a gallop, and a discussion took
place upon the question, whether, in that case, the
horse should be turned round, or pulled up to a
stop, when the Plaintiff declared off the wager, and
demanded• his stakes bade:, but this the Defendant
I refueec;declared it 11 bet, and that the winner
I tivoeld have the money. Notice was afterwards'
I served en the Defendant. by the Plaintiff's Attorney,
that he' would clot abide the wagers, and requiring
i him
to return the deposit, otherwise an action
i would be brought against him:

The Plaintiff, an American seaman, sought a com-
pensation in damages, for an assault committed on
his person, by the Defendant, the mate of an Ame-
rican vessel. It appeared that the Plaintiff sailed
from Boston toSt• Petersburglt, where the Defendant
beat him with a brush handle. Oa his arrival in Eng-
. laud, he commenced this action. The Jury found a
verdict for the Plaintiff, damages 51.

Within the short space of eleven nights, the blea:lr-
grounds of Mr. Poilit, in Broughton, near Man.
chester, were robbed four times. On Thursday
night last, the trouble of watching was repaid.—
Soon after nine o'clock, two men, in the uniform of
the Buckltetltamstiire militia, were seen to enter the
croft, from-which they quickly returned, each load-
ed with a sack. They were immediately attacked I
by the four watchmen, and after a desperate resist-
lance one of them was secured (the other having
effected' his escape), and safely lodged ip the New
Bayley prison, from whence he has since been come-
witted to Lancaster Castle. It appears that the.inen
are privates in the regiment, whose uniform they i
disgraced.
A Court-martial was held on Tuesday se'rmight, 1
on Mr. Paul Walker, midshipman of his Majesty's I
cutter Sylvia, on charges of drukenness, contempt, !
disobedience of orders, and for stabbing Isaac Smith,
Corporal of Mariues, in several places with a dirk;
which being clearly proved, the Court adjudged the
said Walker to forfeit the whole of his time ts mid- •
shipmao, and to serve before the mast of such of his
Majesty's ;Lips as the Commander-in-Chief shall
direct; and, as a further disgrace, ordered him to
be takenalongside every ship and vessel in Ilamonze,
