tiff's case, aid Mt. MMUS and Mr. BOLLAUD the de-
fendants.
The plaintiff was a wheelwright, residing at No. 5,
Friars'-street, Blackfriars'-road T be defendants were ex-
constables at Foot's-cray, in this county. On the Ist of
Noveruner, 1921, a Custom-hoose officer, named Waller,

going along the road between Foot's-cray and Sidcup

smuggled goods, he stopped it, made search, and, to his
+swot, perceived that the cart contained five dead bodies.
He declined making a seizure, but proceeded to Sidcup,
sad gave information to the constables of that place of
what he bad seen. In the mean time the men ran away,
leaving the cart, with its contents, behin.l. The coo-
rabies took possession, and caused the bodies to be in-
terred. Information of this transaction was communi-
cated to Mt. Harem. tk Magistrate, who gave orders to
the defeadants to detain any peseon who claimed the
horse and tart, and bring him before him, to give as ac-
count of himself. Next day, the plaintiff came down to

perty... The constables told him he must go before the
Magistrate to give an account of himself. lie relived to
go. aid the Magistrate anti the Constables. They

foul. He reiisted, and toe defendants, in order to secure
him. put lastuteulfs on, and conveyed him before Air.
Harene, who immediately ordered the handcuffs to be
taken off; bat in consequence of the unsatisfactory as
count which the defendant gave of himself, ,he ordered
him to be detained until Waller, the custum-houstiofficea,
had an opportunity of seeing whether bermes one of the
men wan had accompanied. the cart on the day in goes-
time. Io the eveniog Waller saw him, and being semis-
derithat he was not one of the men, the plaintiff was li-
berated.' The hone and cart Mere not delivered to the
plaintiff; bat were detained for the purpose of ascertain-
ing tin right owner. Under these circumstances the ac-
tion was brought.
' The Jury found their verdict for the plaintiff ) Amiga

NORFOLK ASSIZES.
CORtonsTalterAsa. FLEMING V. PRATT AND OTwaRR—
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who p-Ils
wine and liquors in timid Yarmouth, against the defen-
dants, who are Mayor's officers in that 'own. It was is
recover the damages against the. defendants, for a watt
trespass on the premises of the plaintiff. The following
is a brief statement of the circumstances of the Case...
Mr. Worship, a most respectable solicitor at Yarmouth,
and another gelid-man, are the guardi.ius of a young
lady named Symonds, who N the.orphan datighter of a
person of that name, some time since residing Yar-
mouth, and who left a considerable property. In coati-
Oration of the young lady's expectations, she has betoi
brought isis with great- attendurrtrylogrlintitithem, and
educated in a fit mintier to enable her with credit to
move in that sphere of life in which her fortune will en-
title her to walk. She had been placed from her iatfancy
in the school of Mrs. Reeve, at Yartnoith, and on her
attaining 17, it was thought adviseable by her guardians
in order to improve her manners, to take her fro:a
school, .nd place her under the care of Mrs. Dade, the
widow of a respectable clergyman, who was residing at
Yarmouth with her daughter. It appeared from the evi-
dence that the family connexions of the deceased Mr.
Symonds, however respectable in their stations, were not
such as mould induce the guardians of the vonng Isdy to
wish -she should visit with them. The Plaintiff in the
action is a cousin of Miss Symonds, and at the time of
the trespass complained of, kept a small public-hone at
Yarmouth. Or/ the 14th of January last the plaintiff
gave a party to his relations, to which Miss Symon is
(who on the day before had been removed from from Mrs.
Reeve's to Mrs. Dade's) was invited. Although for-
bidden by her guardians; and forbidden also by Mrs.
Dade, the young lady appestats, have been of the party,
which the guardians hearing of, sent the officers with
a written demand and authority to take the young tidy
back. The officers entered the house and Insole-their
demand, and produced their authority ; but a Mr. Boa—
field, an attorney from Loudon, being prese• t, lie gave
it as his opinion that the authority to talc,: Ole yonne•
lady was not sufficient, and desired the officers to quit the
premises. Miss Symonds was not delivered tip. The
officers remained in the house some little time after notice
had been given to quit the premises, and for this tres-
pass the action was brought. The young lady is as airs:-
wards taken to Mrs. Dade's by her relations.
His Lordship, in snmming up the. Case, intimated in
very plain terms, his opinion of the amion, expressing
himsolf in terms of approbation as to the conduct of the
guardians, and suggesting the probability that if there
had not been an attorney in the house, however churlish
the conduct of the guardians might have been consider-
ed, no action itould ever have been thonelet of : that he
tegretted it was a case in which some dao•a;;r s most he
given, but he thought the smallest possible would he
the most proper. It was fur the Jury to consider what
damages should be awarded, but he was quite sure they,
in common with himself, would not he th.posed to give .
any encouragement to needless and vexatious litigation.
The Jury, notwithstanding this address, rtturned a ver-
dict for the plaintiff—Dam 'gee 201.
