pass with a coronet un the armorial bearings, you
moat affect to look into it with great solicitude,
and eventually make a bow slightly, if it is occu-
pied by Gentlemen, but profoundly, if there are
Ladle'. Many of our young men have claimed an
intimacy with the whole galaxy of fashion, upon
premises no better established than these.

A most outrageous assault was committed by a

on Tuesday evening. The ladies were first ad.
dressed by the offender, wheyves attended by a
groom.boy, bet they made no reply,i until his lan.
rage became so disgusting, that they prudently
left the high road and walked aloof/ a field to
avoid hie impertinence. The fellow alighted from

THE GUARDIAN= OF PICTIIR HORROCIIII V. JIPIP.
The Logo CHANCILLOIL paid he had examined
the affulavits of Mr. Jupp in this cue, and from a
full consideration of all the circumstances therein
alleged, be should abstain from making any order
upon the subject on this occasion.

NORRIS V. 00431.1111.
The disagreements between these parties, which
ha'e been so long in Court, were again alluded to
by the LORD CUANCELLOR to-day. He said he
wished to know what was the extent of the rule
intended to be sought for; because he could not
think of appointing • manager if nothing more
was intended. If the parties would come to an
agreement that they would continue tenahts in
common in perpetuity, and an instrument for that
purpose should be so drawn up before a refer.
ence to the Muter, it might settle all future dis-
puta between them. In that case he might con.
eider of the propriety of appointing a manager;
but which he should not do if nothing more was
in tended.

Sir- S. ROMILLY said, that the Defendant
emild have ao objection to a reference to the
Master. _ _

But Mr. HART, on behalf of the Plaintiff,
claimed the right of reference only to the per.
sons named In the °listing instrument between the
parties.
The Loan CHANCELLOR desired that he should
be informed on Saturday, whether the parties
would agree to a reference to the Master.

NEWLAND to. CLARKE.
A Mr. Rubinson had left a quantity of Stock
to Government for the use of the Public, and ap.
pointed the late Mr. Abraham Newland his Ele.
tutor and Trustee. But a dispute arose about the
right to some dividends doe and unclaimed. The
Defendant claimed them as being the Devisee of the
personal property and goods. The ATTORNEY.
GENERAL claimed in behalf of his Majesty and
the Public ; and the next of kin claimed these
dividends as 'indisposed of by the will. The
Court decided that they belonged to the next of
kin, and ordered a reference to the Master to tax
the costs.
Mr. ALCIANDER, on the part of the Attorney.
General, now applied to the Court for leave to
except to the Master's Report for having dual.
towed costs to which it was alleged the Attorney.
General was entitled.

The LORD CH ASCRLLOR could not see the rea-
son why certain items in the account u( the At.
torney-Gotteral 134 d been disallowed—but he re-
commended it to the Solicitors to give a distinct
statement of the account ; fur If the matter was
sent again to the Master, the parties would be
smothered with expeace.
Mr. Ricasitos—" They are almost smothered
already, my Lord."

SITTINGS IICTOR: LORD aLLENBOItoVen, Mt. MORAL

•UIIES IN GUILDN•LL.
WPMT V. PURNELL AND SPENCER.

Mr. G sallow stated this to be an action to re.
tover the value of 289 bales of goat skins, con-
taining five dozen each, amounting, at 575. 6d. per
dozen, to 41541. 71. Bd. The purchase was made
on the 27th of April, for bills at five months
date...fourteen days prompt. On the 16th
of May last, the warehouse at Ralph's Quay,
wherein these goods were deposited, was con.
sumed by fire. On the 19th, the Bills of
Exchange were tendered to the Defendants
for acceptance, by a Clerk of, the Plaintiff's
attorney, who at the sane time chewed to the De.
fendants the origin-it contract—but they refused
to accept the Bills on the ground of the goods not
having been delivered. A witness would prove a
conversation between the Plaintiffstal Furnell, one
of the Defendants, on the 11th or 12th of May, in
hich Mr. Furnell admitted that the goods had been
deposited in the warehouse for their account ; and
also at the same time admitted, that if the goods
were kept any longer in that warehouse, himself
and his partner were liable to the payment of rent.
Mr. GARROW further stated it to be the invariable
custom of trade, that when goods were once sold,
they were at the risque of the buyer if any acci.
dent happened to them.
The sale and amount of these goods were not
disputed, and the whole of the question turned on
the liability of the Defendants under the circum.
stances of the case.
Francis Lennigan, clerk to the Plaintifflproved
that on the 12th of hot May, he and the Plaintiff
met the Defeadsot Furnell, near the Exchange,
and Zagury said to him, " I wish you would
take away the skins." Defendant replied, 46 as
the warehouse rent is only 15s. a week for the
whole, let them remain there, and we will pay
for it ; in the mean time, if you can sell them fur
three guineas a dozen do it for we." (He him.
self had bought them fur 575. Bd. per dozen).
Zagury said, 66 very well ;
.1 will draw bills, and
send them to your counting-house;" to whisk
the Defendant replied, " Do, cad we will accept
seeet.''....Cross-examined by the Attorney. Gene.
ral, he admitted, that his employer (Zagury) had
endeavoured, after the Defendant bought the skins,
to sell them for St. per dozen ; but that the witness
understood to be on account of Mr. Furnell.
Solomon Sebeg, a dealer in skins, proved that
it was the regular node to open every bale, and
count the skins before delivery ; and that the bar.
gain was not good without it.
Mr. Aylwin the warehouse..keeper, where the
skins were lodged, proved, that Mr. Furnell came
to him, and asked to see the skins; witness in.
quired if he had au order from the Plaintif ; on
which Fume,' said, he had actually bought theme.
Several of the bales were then opened to him,
maids he counted, and appeared eatirfsed. Mr.
F. came again on the 6th of May, and asked
for sight bales of the largest skins ; witness said,
be hid only orders from Zagury to let him have
four bales. F. appeared surprised that me order

had been left by Z. u he said he had promised to
do so. The skins were soon after burnt.

Solomon Sebag corroborating the evidence of
Mr. Lannigan, the Plaintiffs cletii, as to the,
cartons of opening and counting the skins in
every bale before the buyer takes thins
Lord ELLENSOBOUOII observed, that a constant
custom in a trade must always decide the terms of
sale, without a spetific agreement had ben ea.
tered into as to the form of sale, which hal nut been
done in this case; under those considerati ins, he
was of opinion the Plaintiff should be called.
The Plaintiff was accordingly nos:suited.
HAWkINS O. WATSON.

This was an action of trover for converting
eight tons of Riga hemp, which the Plaintiff had
bought of Messrs. Koffman and Co. which had
been consigned to than by Stine, and Cu. fur I'4l,
upon commission, in the usual form. When the
time for the delivery of the goods arrived, Mi.
Hawkins applied to Mr. Watson. (oho nas the
warehouseman with whom the good, were depo-
sited by Messrs. Koffman and Cu.) fur possession
of the goods; but instead of delivering to hies the
goods, Mr. Watsoo, to satisfy Mr. Hawkins that
the goods should, at all events, be hie, gave to
him the following note:—" Sir, the eight tons of
Riga hemp, bought of Koffman and Company,
I have transferred. to your name, and shell
hold the same at your disposal." After this Mr.
Hawkins sent a person to demand the delivery of
these goods; but meanwhile, Koffman acid Co.
had become bankrupt,. and Simms and Cu. intim.
uified Watson for refusing to deliver them up;
upon which this actiou was brought to compel
that delivery.
It was insinuated, but of that there was no
proof, that Mr. Hawking, being a creditor to the
amount of 3001. un Koffrnau and Cu. had col.
luded with them upon this occasion, to procure to
himself a preference over the other creditors of.
Koffman and Co. to the prejudice of Shill* and
Co.

Verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages, the amount
of the value of the hemp, 10161.

SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS.

ili-dnesday, July 19.

Cornelius Browne, alias Hamilton, vas in.
dieted for stealing a quantity of brass and iron
from the premises of Messrs. Brent, in the Girt,.
tnercial.road, and found guilty. 'rite prisoner be.
ing an old offender, and but recently returned from
Botany Bay, was again sentence) to raven years
transportation.

George Parsons, another old offender, and but
a few weeks from Botany Bay, was likewise con-
victed of picking the pocket of a gentleman
named Ferguson of a pocket-hook containing
bank notes to the amount of eight pounds.—
lie was also sentenced to seven years transporta-
tion. •
John Robinson was itsiffiged for feloniously ap-
propriating to his own use a quantitz of hand.
bills entrusted .to his care by Mr. Ittlist*Ai, of the
Royal Circus, for the purpose of being publicly
circulated. The prisueor was, however, erro-
neously indicted at Common Law, and was coa-
-1 sequently stelsaittcd.
Cardinal Wills was indicted by Magri. Big'
and Burnett, licensed coal-meters, for having cu►
healed to his own use sundry sums of money
wfiich he received on their meted.
It appeared that the coal-meters for the county
of Surre were remunerated fur their trouble by •
cattalo fee of sixpence per chaldrun for every
chaldron of coals measured within their district ;
and that they were entitled by Act of Parliament
to appoint persons to assist them in the execution
of their duty, at a salary of tOs. per week, one
of which persons the prisoner was. He eas sta-
tioned on Jamaica Wharf, for the purpose of see.
ing the coals properly measured, and receiving the
meters' fees thereon, in the execution of which
utlice it was alleged that he embezzled sundry sums
of money, included in separate indictments. It
appeared, however, that the indictments ,ih this
ease were brought under the With clause of the
39th of the King, which enacted that all clerks or
servants who converted to their owneuse monies
received on their masters' accounts without their
said masters' consent, should be deemed guilty of
felony.
Mr. NOLA N, Counsel for the Prisoner, took on
objection to the informality of the indictment,
and contended that the charge against his client,
in the present instance, did not come «Rhin the
provision of the Act alludrd to ; as the primmer
was acting, not as the clerk or servant of Messrs.
Biggs and Auasi.l4, bet as duration% saivent of
the public.
Mr. iturtutewrox, for the .prosecution, in an
elaborate and ingenious argument, eteleaveureJ to
Impress on the Court, that thi Psisoner, .being
appointed by the Prosecutors ea execute a certain
duty on their account, and to receive for them
certain legal fees thereon fur their benefit and ad-
vantage solely, that he was in tkc eye of the law
to be viewed ire no other light than as their servant
or deck.
In this opinion he was over-tied by Mr. Ser.
jeant ONseow and the Court. The Learned Ser.
jeant said, it might as well be said, that the Cons.
saissionen of the Excise, or any Public Func-
tionaries, could shape an indictment in a Emilio.
isaaaise. It did not follow because an Act of Par-
•liament entitled any body of men to appoint per-
seal to act under them, that therefore those per-
sons were legally the servants of the persons who
so appointed them.
The Prisoner was consequently acquitted.
Mr. Serjeant Oest.aw said, there was another
remedy against the Prisoner, by shaping the in:•
diatourat in a different manner, by whieh he might
and with the punishment attached to such a
dime.

The unfortunate young man who exerted him-
self so greatly at the fire of Mr. NOaTIK'S house,
Conduit-strait, still remains dangerously ill, and
without hope of recovery, at the Coach and
Hersey Conduit.street.
