Mr. Cook has laid upon the table of the
House of Representatives resolution direct

to deprive the recently admitted states of the
same advantages in the federal judiciary,
which the old states eujoy. Six states of The
Union are now subject TO system, in very i'm
portant respects different from that which cx-
lists in the other states. What may be the

make some extension of the present system,

tlrely probable. When there are but few irri-

INSURANCE CASE.

Court Of Kings Bench, June l9.-
Mansfield and another v. Ma han-Ac,
ton on policy OF insurance effected on
the ship Agenoria, from London to Cue
bee, and thence to Br.d .ewater.
the case was in substance this THE
plaintiffs chartered the vessel from Lon
don to Quebec for timber and home. -
There was clause in the charter party.
that they should furnish money for the
use of the ship on her voyage, and ac-
cordingly the captain received at Quebec
ECO, for which bill was drawn upon
the plaintiffs by their correspondents in
that city. The plaintiffs then effected a
policy on their interest in that advance
Of money, in the event of loss The
ship was in fact lost On her homeward
voyage, and this action was rought to re-
cover upon the policy, the amount which
tie plaintiffs had paid on account OF the
ship.
The Solicitor General, for the plain
tiffs, commended, that although i. a ship
WIS lost on her voyage tie owners could
claim no freight against the charter, yet
where the latter had made an advance
on account Of freight las this must be ia
ken to be) that fire ght SO advanced could
not be recovered back, and consequently
the only remedy winch tie plaintiffs had
was upon the policy.
MIR Scarlet, for the defendant, con-
tended, that the plaintiffs had no interest
which they could insure in this manner.
lie said, that although freight advanced
could not be recovered back in case the
vessel was lost, yet money advanced for
the use Of The ship was distinct consid-
GRAFTON, and if recoverable at all, it must
be fror- the owners Of the ship, and not
the underwriters.
The chief Justice recommended a case.
but that not beIns acceGed to, he said his
opinion was very strong upon the subject.
There was no doubt that freight advan
ced could not be recovered again after the
ship vas lost, but he thought there was a
wide difference between money advanced
on account OF freight, and money advan-
ced (as in this case by the plaintiff for
the use of the vessel on the voyage. I'm
der such circumstances his lordship d.
rec'cd nonsuit, but gave the plaintiffs
leave to move the court-Nonsuited.

Hunting on, (Pa.) dug. %.


A case new in this country, was tried
during the Court last week. Timothy
Vansyce brought suit against Jesse Tip,
tan, for adultery with his wife, claiming
D.lO0O damages. The plaintiff was poor
man, cooper by trade, who had been
married upwards of twenty years, and
had raised family of nine children by
his industry. The defendant was near
neighbor who had protested great friend
ship for the plaintiff and his family, and
persuaded him to assign over his little
property to him, (the deIendant,) falsely
alledging that his creditors were about to
ruin him and break him up. Having OBJ
tanned possession, he endeavoIed to retain
the whole for his own use, seduced the
plaintiffs wife, and was the cause OF
breaking up the family, and turning them
out of house and home. The seduction
having been fully proved by several wit,
nesses, the Jury. afje few minutes con-
sultation, gave verdict Of 300 damages
which is supposed to be more than the
whole OF defendants property.
