0111)ER4 IN COUNCIL.

Furl FITZ WILLIAII adverted to the notice he
had lately given, that he might feel it necessary to
trouble the House with a motion on the subject of
the Orders in Council, but observed that the docu-
ment which had been published yesterday in the Ga-
tette, was perfectly satisfactory, and, therefore, he
did not m•lan to bring forward any motion upon the
subject. lit ans happy that Ministers had at length
retracted the errors of their former policy, and had
no doubt that the measure they had adopted would
be perfectly satisfactory to the manufacturing in-
terrsts of the country.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL disclaimed for himself
and his Colleagues, in the adoption of the measure
allu led to, any acknowledgment of errors in their
former pn!icy, contending, on the contrary, that
the Orders in Council had been highly beneficial to
the commercial interests of the country. The cir-
cumstances which had led to the adoption of this
measure it was not now necessary to advert to. In
consequence of the communication of the Decree of
the French Government revoking the Berlin and Mi.
lan Decrees, so far as regarded American vessels, it
had been thought expedient by his Majesty's Go.
'eminent to revoke the Orders in Council, so far
also as regarded American vessels, with theriew, if
possible, of bringing back the commerce of bellige-
rents to right and just principles. If, however, that
should be found impossible, his Majesty's Govern-
ment reserved the full power of resorting to such
measures as circumstances might require.
. _

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, whilst he con-
demned the conduct of Ministers, in suffering the
investigation relative to the Orders in Council pub-
licly to proceed, and thereby disclosing facts which
might be mischievous, when they might themselves as
a Gevernment have privately obtained all the requi-
, site information, gate them at the same time full
credit for the decisive and satisfactory nature of the j
document which was yesterday published, and which
he was decidedly' of opinion ought to satisfy the ma-
nufacturers of this country, and ought to satisfy the
United States of America. Should, however, the
United States, rot satisfied with this concession, 'go
beyond the line in their demands, which the mari-
time rights and honour of this country prescribed,
be should feel it his duty, and he was sltisfied his
Noble Friends who sat around him, would also feel
it their duty to support the Government against any
each demands, and thereby to support those mari-
time tibias which were essential to our welfare. His'
Lordship concluded by moving an Address to the
rrinee Regent, praying for a Copy of the Document
published
_yesterday relative to the Orders in Coun.
cil, which was agreed to, and ordered to be present.

The LORD CHANCELLOR observed upon the

Thip rase stood for argument, in the peremptory
paper, a rule having been obtained by Mr. Jervis, to
shew cause why a new trial should not be granted,
the Jury having given a verdict for the Plaintiff, on
a Bill which originally bore date on the Ist August,
but had by the drawer, With a view to accommodate
the acceptor, the present Defendant, been post dated
twenty days, the date having, previous to the drawer's
(Mr. Ledger, of King-street, Cheapside,) putting
the Bill out of his own possession, been,,by the con-
sent of the acceptor, changed into twenty-first, in-
stead of first August.
.Mr. GARROW and Mr. ABBOTT having argued the
case on the part of the Plaintiff, and
Mr. JERVIS and Mr. SELWYN on the part of the
Defendant,
The Court were unanimous in deciding, that the
Plaintiff could not here recover. Where an altera-
tion was afterwards made, in furtherance of the ori-
ginal intention of the parties, or where a deed, or i
other writing, which originall)t a nullity, was by
such alteration first rendered effectual, or brought
into operation ; in either of these cases a new stamp
was not necessary. But, in all cases where the Bill,
or other writing, was originally a valid security, and
was agreeable to the original intention of the parties,
no alteratioiv could be made en any such document
without a new stamp.—Mr. Justice BAILEY even !.
held, that if it had been the original intention of !
Ledger, the drawer, and Taylor, the acceptor of the
bill in question, to vary the date from time to time,
as it might suit the acceptor, that could not legally.]
have been done.--Itule made absolute.

On Sunday, a private of the Queen's Bays sta-
tioned in Leeds, shot himself through the body ; he
(lied instantly. The only cause assigned for the com-
mission of this fatal deed was, his reduction from
the rank of Serjeant to that of a private. The Co-
roner's Jury found a verdict of Lunacy.

ARMS STEALING.

Lens, Jose 20.—These dangerous outrages otv
the peace of society, and the property of individuals,
still continue, and with which is combined a spirit of
indiscriminate plunder, and in some cases iise demaecl
of arms is only the ostensible pretext, the real ob-
ject being to obtain money. On Saturday morning,
about one o'clock, the family of Mr. Barraclough
was roused from sleep, by a party of men, who de-
manded fire-arms; this demand was immediately com-
plied with, and a piece was given to them out of the
' window, but ndt content with this, they insisted that
the door should be opened to them, which was done;
having obtained admittance, they insisted upou ino-
tog the keys of the desk and drawers, 'which they
completely ransacked, but without Ending tidy money;
disappointed in the search, they proceeded to the bed-
room of Mr. Barraclough, and insisted upon his gi%ing
them all the money lie had, lie gave them about 20s.
in silver, and having helped themselves to a large
loaf, a piece of cheese, and some butter, they took
their leave; one of the party almost immediately re-
turned, and brought hack the piece, saying they had
no occasion for it. The same nights robbery, vey:,
similar in its circumstances, took place at Kirkbor-
ton, Tear Huddersfield, but in which the robbers
wereAhot so ceremonious as to ask for admittance,
but broke into the house, and two of them entered
the bed-room of Mr. Savage, and each presenting a
pistol to Mr. Savage and his son, who slept in the
same room, demanded his money and keys, he gave
'them about 235. and they proceeded to examine his
idrawers, but did not meet with the treasere they ex-
pected; Mr. Savage having fortunately been disap-
i pointed in receiving a very considerable sum of mo-
ney, which was to have been paid to him the preced-
ing day.

BRIDGES V. HUNTER..

Mr. TADDY obtained a rule to shew cause why the
verdict for the Plaintiff in this insurance case should
not be set aside, and a new trial granted. The po-
licy was dated Nov. 12, 1808, from Oporto to Li-'
verpool and Lancaster. The ship sailed on the 13th
of October preceding, and attempted to gain a con-
voy
which had the start of her : she could not get ;
up, however, and meeting with very bad weather,'
put into Lisbon, whence proceeding without any
bailing instructions, she was lost. The defence was,
the non-communication of two material letters re-i
by the assured: one dated on the 11th of Oct.l
saying that the ship expected to sail on the 13th ;
and the other dated the 13th, saying that the ship
had got her bills of lading en board, which is gene-
rally the last thing previous to sailing, and specifying
the convoy with which she was going. Now the
convoy of the 13th of October arrived on the 30th
of that month, and its arrival was known at Lloyd's
on the Ist of November. If this letter, therefore,
had been communicated to the Underwriters, they
would have known that the ship in question was
Imissing, and might have made enquiries.

LAING V. cALE.

Mr. Serjeant PELL obtained a rule to hew cause
for a new trial of this case before Mr. Justice Cham-
bre, at the last Devon Assizes. It was an actioo,
upon an agreement for the sale, of an estate, one of
the terms of which was, that a draft of the convey-
ance should be delivered within three months from
the date thereof; and the question was, whether this
meant lunar or calendar mouths. The draft was de-
livered within three calendar months ; but Mr. Jus-
tice Chambre thought it must be three lunar months.
There was nothing in any other part of the agree-
ment.from which the meaning of the parties could
be collected, nor was there any evidence of custom.
The circumstance could not effect the purchase-
, money, for that was specifically to be paid on the
24th of June.
London, England, 1812-11-09

V. NF.WIII.IIII.

Mr. SCARLETT moved for a rule to shew cause for
a new trial of this insurance case on the Belionora,
in which the lice* was granted to Messrs. Fayette
and Co., 44 and others ;" hut the party interested
being a Prussian subject, the Learned Counsel con-
tended, he could not be included in the word
64 others," although licensed to reside here. In point
of fact he was a native of Dantzic, and therefore liv-
ing under the protection of Great Britain, no longer
• a Prussian for the purpose of being a party to the
condemnation of his own vessel, which was effected
by an act of the Prussian Government.—lt was also
a fact, that although the licence had been taken out
for Favenc and Co. themselves, yet they were agents
of the party interested. Still Mr. SCARLETT contend.
ed, under the case of Minett r. Bonham, that. the
44 others" must be ejusdon gencris, which the Prus-
sian was not. •
Lord ELLENBOAOI7OII.—Yes he is.

Mr. Sclta:TT oontetukrl; as he did in the case of
Minett v. Bonham, that the Crown had no right It
delegate its powers of licensing; to authorise any
British merchant to name others ; and instanced the
quid grant to the Abbot of St. Albans, to make jos.
(ices.

The Court held, that theshippings of other British
n)erchants, under the authority of the persons named
in the licence, were covered ; and refused the
rule.

HYDE V. BROMLEY.
In this application to remove the Assignees of an
insolvent, the rule was discharged with costs. The
case had been referred to the Master, to enquire
whether there was any debt due from the insolvent
to Mr. North, one of the assignees; and the Master
reported a judgment in his favour, the items com-
posing which the Court held to be conclusive against
the Defendant.

WILSON AND CO. V. KEYMER AND CO.

This It as a rule Nisi for a new trial of an action
for freight, in which the Plaintiffs obtained a verdict
for 9.9011.; and the question was, whether an im-
plied assumpsit arose from the Defendants to pay the
:might to the owners, upon the delivery. of the goods
by the Captain to the Defendants, who received
them under an order from Messrs. Williams and
Wilson, with whom the Plaintiffs contracted upon
charter-party, and for whom, it appeared by the
manifest the goods were shipped. The bill of lading
was to Messrs. Williams and Co. or order; but was
indorsed to Defendauts-prior to the ship's arrival
and it was admitted, the Defendants now had the
goods, and it was they who paid the duty at the Cus-
tom-house) although Lord ELLENBOROVGII said that

change Ministers. We learn from the last victory of

O'Donuel would not have advanced unless he had
hoped to be supported by them, But they remained
quiet spectators of the battle, perhaps not intruding
to take any part in it unless the success should net
appear to be dubious. We all know that seamen al,
ways have the winds at their disposal, to justify the
conduct they may think proper to adopt, or to serve
as an excuse for any misfortune they may sustain.—
Thus the English fleet sheered off, under a press of
sail, abandoning the unfortunate O'Donnel to his
fate.

TR.ANSPORTATION•TO NEW SOUTH WALES.
Sir SAMUEL WIMILLY rose, to move for the
appointment of a Committee to enquire into the ef-
fects of the system of transporting convicts to New
South Wales ; and in doing so, he should only de.
tain the 'House a very short time, as he understood
that his motion was not likely to be opposed. ile
would beg leave to observe, however, that as connect.
ed with the subject of transportation, two important
, objects of enquiry would naturally come under the
latteution of the Committee ;—one was, 'as to the ef-
fects which transportion produced on the convicts--
and the other, as to the nature of the punishment
which was thus inflicted upon them, and their
situation when removed to that colony. At a period
whets the Legislature were almost every Session .-•n.
der the necessity of passing Acts of Parliament. tl
pouncing the punishment of transportation on offen-
ders, it became more than erer necessary to enquire
WO effects, lie did not mean to throw any rellec.
tion on the modeof distributing justice, but he wished
merely that the public should have some information by
which it would be judged, whether transportation
was a punishment advantageous to society. The
only information which the country had on the sub-
ject, was from a work of a Mr. Collins, and another
lof a Mr. Mann ; but this was not authentic. All
the information that ever was laid before the House,
I with respect to New South Wales, was a correspen.
deuce between Governor Phillips and the Secretary
of State, iu 1792, although this mode of punishment
was tried at first asa mere experiment ; and differed
is eve/ imam from trausportation. to time colonies of
Americy 'which was ih use previousfy.to 1775. Ile
then gland., that s Committee be appiiinted to en.
quire into the manner of . executing sentences of
transportation to New Senti! Wales, and into the
effects'resulting therefrom.
• The Motion was put and direied, the Committee
nominated, and three appointtbd.te bei a quoium.
