seemed to have provided themselves with
stones and bricks, for the occasion howe
yer, as soon as the turbulence of the multi

den, at an early hour of the day, an attack
on Mr.. Lambs house was naturally antici-
pated, and proper measures taken to pre-
vent the outrage.
They were committed.
Court of Kings Bench, Marsh 4.
KENNY v. cRopPER.
This action was brought by the plaintiff,
who is the widow of Captain Kenny, for
the recovery of sum of f2ooo, under the
following circumstances
Capt. Kenny was the owner of mer-
chant ship, which he chartered to the de-
PENDANTS, wLo are British merchants, for
voyage from Liverpool TO New York and
back. The vessel carried cargo outwards
and was bound to bring home another of
American produce, if the consignees of the
plaintiff should chuse to send pne, but the
plaintiff was not bound to seek cargo IN
his own account, as the entire voyage was
settled at stipulated sum. However, the
consignees, Messrs. Jenkins & Co. at New.
York, did ship homewarda quantity ofwool
which was stated to the Captain to have
been brought 10 New-York by British
vessel from some other part OF the U. States.
But On his arrival home, ii was discovered
by the Custom House officers, who came
on board off Liverpool, that it was Smyrna
wool and that all vessels coming from that
country, or having on board the produce
thereof, were at that time subjected to
quarantine at Milford Haven, and where
her cargo was taken out and re-shipped,
and her detention was loi days on this d.
ty, under charge for demurase Of los per
day, the whole charges for which amount
ed to $1,000 beside the Charg. for the d.
rect voyage out and home: The employers
refused to pay this sum, and the plaintiff
brought her action.
BY the British Navigation Law, no Bri-
fish vessel bound 10 foreign country is
permitted to bring home any cargo to Eng
land, except of the growth, produce, Oh
OF tine country from which
such goods are shipped The question,
therefore, in this case, as stated by the learn.
ed judge in his charge to the jury, was,
whether the captain Of the ship was inform
Ell, or knew that this wool was OF Smyrna
and not America, or whether he was de-
ceived by the shippers, who were the cor
rts pondents OF the defendants, and by
whose orders he was instructed to act. If
he did know or was informed Of the cir
ais act was voluntary, and he
must he liable 10 the consc quence OF his
own default ca the charges incurred but
if he did not know, ana was decei'ed by
the Shippers, then the verdict must be ior
him.
The Jury, after short consultation,
found for the plaintiff damages 2U0Ol with
costs. -
