ELLIO V. THE  LATH OF AT. AUGUSTINE. • Saturday Mr. MANIVFATT moved for a Rule to sllew, cause wht the verdict in this case should not be set aside, and a near trial granted. This he mover] in consequence of a reservation allo*ed hilt' by the Learned Judge who tried the case. .The Action was built on an Act 61. the 19th Geo. for protecting persons employed in the service of the Customs, by which, in the event of any such person being killed in the discharge ,of his duty, his executors or administrators are entitled to recover from the, iiihabttants of the County, District, Parish, Lath, or.itape, where the murder may have been committed, the sum of £lOO. The Jury found for the plaintiff; but the present motion was grounded, first, on tlie difficulty of levying the fine, the Lath of St. Augustine being switbin the jurisdiction of the Warden Of the Cinque Ports ; and secondly, though the shot aine from the beach at Deal, within the Lath, yet the deceased having been wounded in his, boat betWein high and low water mark, when he was actu, ally afloat, and having thence been carried to his cutter, below watermark, and there died, there was no provision for that case, the circumstance having oc'cuffed partly in one county, and partly in another. Lord Euntsottouon said the Lath was liable no_ikinatim, as the law stood. If there should any dill's. culty arise as to the levy, the Court would dispose of that point when it occurred. As to the other point, the crime must be understood to have been committed *here the shot was actually fired. Rule refused.  Every friusicante goes to Mr. WATLEN'S, Pianoforte, Organ, and Harp Camera, No. 5, Leicester Place, Leicester-square, for good and cheap Pianofortes— above one thousand instruments have been purchased by the public from this fashionable depot : a saving of ten or fifteen guineas is of consequence to every one at this time, in the purchasing so expensive an article. The new Empress of France is very fond of reading the English Newspapers, and one of her first questions to the Emperor was, " Who is CARTER P' to which Bonaparte replied, " Not to know CARTER argues yourself unknown, for he keeps the old Lot-1 tery Office, Charing Cross ; and being, like myself, a favintrite or Fortune. I prophecy he will sell the great Prize in the new Lottery ; but-do not publish I this opinion, lest it be looked on os'a Lottery puff,. and CARTER is above such hacknied artifices."
