VEILVOn V. KEYS.
In this case the Plaintiff charged that he hid
been defrauded'out of 7001. by a false represen-
tation of the Defendant, who had been his partner,
and who had represented to him that certain other
persons who were to conic into his right, had re.
(used to give more than a certain sum for the pur-
chase, whereas, in' fact, they were willing to have
given 7001. more, bat, in consequence of which
representation the Plaintiff had accepted of the
smaller sum. The Coort.held that the Plaintiff
was not entitled to recover. A seller would he
liable in the case of any false representation of the
value of the thing sold, but the Court were not
aware of any rale by which a buyer, in such cir-
cumstances, could be made diahle. The rule for
arresting the judgment in favour of the Plaintiff,
was aecuriling!y made absolute.
In a case, on a Policy of lesurance on the ship
Miranda, against every risk except that of con-
deninalion by the American Government, where a
partial or average loss had previously arisen by
the perils of the sea, but where total loss immune.
diately afterwards arose, in consequence of eon.
damnation by the American Goverti...ent, a risk
especially excluded by the policy, the Court held'
that the assured could nut recover even. for, the
average loss arising from the perils of the sea.
They could nut be Milliard to indemnity where'
they had suffered. no damage. HOW 2 Whed the
thing was totally taken away froth them; could
they be said to have been damaged by any previous
deterioration it inig'it have undergone? Of what
consequence to them was the intermediate state"of
the thing, if they were never at all to get the thing
itself into their possession ? The American Go-
vernment, who had ultimately condemned the car
go, were, in fact, the, only party injured by its
previous deterioration.-LJudgment for the De-
fendant. .

ex propria natura exempted from being cut as
under-wood when under 21 years of age. The

TILE KING V. TUE MAYOR OF GREAT 111111s111r,
In this case a• mandamni had been applied for
enjoiuing the Mayor of Great
,Grimsby to tale
the se-se of the Corporate Body .on, a motion pro.
posed by one of the Burgesses at a regular meet.
ing, and which had been duly seconded, bet which
the Mayor had refused to put. This !notion went
to protect the Corporate Nods from improper ap.
'plications of them by. the. Select Body, who had
assumed the right of disposing of them, and to
bring back this right into the hands of the whole
Body Corporate.
Lord Et.t.sfssoaouou thought there was adoubt
holier due uoticc of the motion had been given.
The Court certainly would be far from laying it
down that the Mayor had a veto in such business.
It was a sabject well deserving of inquiry, if the
funds.of the Corporatiou.had been, or were likely ,
to be abused in the hands in whicli they now were;
and, if so, why they ought not to be restored to
the Body to which they properly. belonged. Thera,
was no occasion for the interference of the Court,
however, in order to accomplish this object. The
parties aggrieved, in order to obtain justice, had
only to renew the motion originally made by them,
after giving proper notice.

WILLIAMS IN JONES.
Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL sheered cause *taint
the Rule applied for by the Defendant in this case
to amend his Replication. The action was brought
for an account of business as an Attorney done
fur the Defendant by the Plaintiff while the par.-
ties were resident in the Presidency of Bengali. is
the East Indies. The debt had been incurred sp.;
wards• of ten years ago, and the plea set up by
the Defendant was first,. that not he, but his
creditors, had employed the Plaintiff, the actions
in which the Plaintiff had been employed, being .
for penalties under the statute of usury, the sums
to be recovered under which were to go in ex.
tinction of the debts due to the Defendant's credi-
tors, and not to the Defendant himself. To this plea
the Plaintiff replied, that the Defendant was be..
yond seas during greater part of 'the period al_
luded to; and, the Defendant haul rejoined, that
the parties were both in the Ea' I Indies, where
they were within the jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court of Bengal; aud where the Defendant, un.
der the niteratibn of the Act of the Thirteenth of
George the Third, might be as effectually sued ea'
if he had been resident in this country. • :

man who had been many years abroad,, who, on
that. account, might, from Orions causes, hav'e
destroyed the vouchers which be held, and who,
probably, iq consequence; now called for the 'in.
dulgence of the Court. The strict ride of pro..
Deeding in such, cases, had been much relaxed of
late years, and he saw no reason ,ivlvy they should
' not be so relaxett-in the present instance.
The rule was accordingly made Absolute.
