COURT OF KING'S BENCH. MONDAY, APRIL 2i. PERJ RT. THL KING O. T. DIONOLD, SEN. SIMI. The Solicitor-Geseral, moved far a role to show raese wit, there *Weld not be • Taw trial or an arrest of judgment. The learned genflenean refereed to the pleadings which set forth the assigements of perjury, namely, that lie (Bignold) had never mowed et deed containing a clause that he should pay over and advance the sem of 10,0001. to be invested in the hands of trustees, end which should form the funds of the then pro jected National Aosta/vice Company. Mr. Bigauld only swore that there was no such clause contained in a draft in his pos session of the deed in question ; and the rase went to the Jury upon the question whether these words—" cad does hereby agree to advitwee''—were contained in the deed when usecated by Mr. Vigo. Id. Lord Chief Justice.—And it west to the Jury also upon other paints; one was whether the defendant had promised to invest the 10,00411. or roily to guarantee it. The Solicitor-Getters! proceeded.—The bill in Chanotiry had nothing to do with the 10,0001.; therefore what the defendant had sworn with carped to thu'lo,oool. was not material to the issue of that bill. Lord Chief Justioeoi—We see emangh in your objection (Mr. Solicitor-General) to grant a rule Nisi for saves trial, or is wrest of judgment. TOBSDAY, APRIL 22. rittemiNG o. PLATT AND OTHERS. Mr. Campbell moved for a rule to show cause whiiheyeer diet in this case should not be set aside and a new trial grant ed. It was an action tried hefore Mr. Baron Garrow at the lag assizes for the county of Norfolk, in which the juty gave 201. damages; hot in which he should show that only the ' smallest damages ought to have been given. The plaintiff kept Is gin-shop at Yarmouth, and the action was brought fur dia.. Wilting a rout giveu by his lady. Mr. Justice Bay ley,—An unlawful assembly, Mr. Campbell? Mr Camphell.—No, my lord ; the lady was at home. To this elegant entertainment a young lady named Lydia Sillalaatlai wan invited. She Was an orphan, of 17 years of age, of mar siderahle fortune, whose guardian had placed her under the earn of the widow of a clergymen. Although she was eelated to the plaintiff, her guardiene did cot think it wan proper for her to assoriate with the company who assembled at his house, and therefore forbade her to attend this party, which was to he given on the ItSt of January leaf. Notwithstanding the pro • !Million, the plaintiff took her from the horse of her protec tress in order to grace the entertainment to which he bad in •ited his friends. Her gnardians• understending that she was there, gave a written aullior;iy to the officer of the mayor to remove her, and be took with him the two other defendants.— On their arrival they went into flue kitchen, which was one of the rooms open for the reception of the company. and there stated the business of their visit. It was probable that their object would have been peaceably attained, had nut the party been graced with the presence of an attorney fume Loudon, named Houslield, who resolved to dazzle them with a display of his professional skill. " Have you," said he, addressing himself to the officers, "provided yourselves with his Ma jesty's writ uf habeas corpus ab spobjecieeeduni!" (A general laugh.) They confessed that they bad not, but said they bad a written authority from the guardians. " Then," rejoined he, " you are liable to an netion, for you have been guilty of a gross elausson freyit." (Renewed laughter.) At length it was suggested, that if the officers would retire, the young lady should be conducted home ; stud one of the officers went to obtain the onnetut of the guurdiette to this arrangement, which was given. and the defentlents withdrew. Such was the 1111 - Ntantial cause of action ; and the aggravations stated were, that one of the officers bad said, 0 Slaty seconds make a minute;' and that another had said, " Nice tarts, ladies," alluding to some tarts whirl, the femase vieiters were eating. Fur this trespass the jury had given 201. damages, which were utterly extravagant and absurd, and quite unexpected by the Judge who presided. The learned counsel proceeded lo read a report of Mr. Baron Garrow'a summing up, in a • ich he lamented the case should be brought before the jury, and animadverted on the conduct of the plaintiff, but was stopped by The Court, who granted a tide to allow cause. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23. THE KINQ V. BELLAMY. Mr. Adams applied to the mount to quash the conviotion of a magistrate, in penalties rustler the game laws, for keeping a gun or greyhorfluis for the purpose of killing game, net having lands ko as to be duly qualified, or holding any deputation of any Lord of the Manor, so as to qualify the party to kill game. He-said he moved under the statue 5111 of Anne, which limits the conviction to this—that the summons before a magistrate must be within three menthe of the °Gime committed. Lord Chief Justice.—" The 9th of Anne relates to persons selling game within three menthe." Mr. Adams referred to the Ist of Geo. I. which recites the 9th of Anne, and which states that the person keeping any en gine fur killing, he. under colour of being a gamekeeper, or qualified person, then the offence must have been committed within three months of such summons or c onviction, otherwise it cannot be sustained. The Lord Chief Justice was of opinion, the conviction of as eaqualilied person keeping a gun, g reyhounds, or other eugiee, with intent to gill gem., most take place within the space of three months from the time of the commission of the offence. His lordship, on this nertsteuetion of the sth and 9th of Anne, was of %tibia) that the conviction was bad, and observed, he was o f (l at h er opinion. that tine Act of Parliament far the pr e . "mica of the killing of game would not be foand very ho- nnurable to the literature of the country. It was, hoot v. r, not the duty of this court to criticise or examine Acts of Par irm. tut with regard to their literary or critical compositism ; hut they were bound to interpret the intentious of die legisla ture, and to eaesoite those intentions as well us they (the Judges) could understand them, The rest o the Bench, alter a minute recital of the several statutes, concurred with the Chief Justice, upon which a ver dict was entered fur the defendant. shnticTlON.•—Dßew e. GREEN. Mr. Williams, on time• part of the defendant, moved for a rule to ►hew moist why a third new tricilehould nut be granted. The seduction for which-damages were sou lit, was an alleged forcible violation of the pleititill's slaughter. The defendant lived next door to the plaintiff at Winchester; and there. was but one room in his house, in which the daughter swore the Rot was committed, in tae middle of tbe day, between eleven and twelve o'clock, within twelve feet of the High street, and not more than twenty feet from her mother's residence, to whom she said nothing about it, on her immediate return to her home. At the first trial she fired the time in the middle of December, and before Christmas , but on Mr. Williams obtaining a new trial, by proving that the defendant had the sheriff's officers io the linear for 20 days, et that period, and also by the time of the birth of the child ; that it could not have been then, she, at the second trial stated, doe b d forgotten that eiroumstruce at the find trial, and that it must hare been in the middle of January and 'het '21'614u-es, th-t the violation took place. Mr. Williams lied now rfil.avits to prove that, from the early part of Jammu to the NI of February, Mrs. Green was in the shop every day ; and besides that, be had the solemn oath or the defendant, that be never hale any criminal know ledge whatever of the girl, though be was aware be could not make use of that testimony. He could also prove that the de fendant had been seen in familar conversation with her sine die tim• sworn to, although. to account fee her not hav'e.g told him of ber situation, she swore she had never spoken to him Mace. The damages given were GUI. The court, after a short consultation, granted the rule. FRIDAY, APR 11.25. CLAUGGTON V. LEE. Mr. Abraham stated, that a commission of bankrupt - lad been issued against the defendant in this case, aid while under examination before the commissioners he had been surrendered by his bail, and was now confined in the King's Detach prison, where a detainer was lodged against him by Mr Claaghlon, M.P. the plaintiff, for a sum of lo,oool.—he now moved that the defendant bee be forthwith discharged from custody, ender the set of Parliament, which enacted ehat a bankaapt shall he privileged from arrest for dll days prior to his final examine. Dom The esmatilsaioners had granted him their protection from arrest, and bad extended tie time of final easutination until the 3d of May next. This detainer was kid its contempt of their authority ; and contrary to act of Parliament. The wart granted* rule to show-caws. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. DELLUW O. WHITE. Sergeant Pell slated that this was an action brought to us cover the sum of 601. under the following singular eitcuen stances :—The defendant, and two other persons, became sureties to a large amount to the Alarshal of the King's Beach prison, for the appearance of a bankrupt named Hawley, at order to obtain the rides of the prison for the bankrupt, whe was then in the Mar►hal's r ustorly. howreer, Hawley got the rules he broke them and run away, by which conduct. he placed his sureties in jeapardy. The defendant promised to pay the plaintiff the sum of but. and say empences that he 'night incur, if he would give such information or render such usistanoe as would lead to the reception of die bankrupt.— Thepleiritill* gained the necessary isformatiun, and comniuui cited it to the defendant, who, in consequence of each assist ance, 'succeeded in accomplishing tbe arrest of the bankrupt. This circumstance of course released all the emetics. The defendant, however . , forgot that he had promised bOl. for the service rendered to bite, and this action wu brought to com pel him to perform it. Tile first witness called was T. A. Clarke.—He proved Om hand-writing of the defendant to the promise, which was dated the 7th of :':.ovember, 1820. He knew Hew ley, who was then in the King's Bench prison. Witness, defendant, and a man named Starnes hailed hint, and he obtained the rules. After Hawley's escape the defendant came to the witness, and said that by means t•f the,plaintiff he bad obtained information of • the road Hawley had taken, and that he meant to follow hits. Hawley was subsequently apprehended. The defendaot then told the witness that lie had agreed to the expences, which amounted to 631. and to give the plaintiff 301 ; but that be thought the plaintiff would take less. Cross-examined by Sergeant Vrighan.—llad fallen out with the defendant beesase the defendant wanted him to pay roe half of the expences. Witness would only pay one-third as his share. The plaintiff was the brother of Mrs. Hawley. Wit ness had heard the plaintiff say that he had assisted Hawley in making his escape. Plaintiff bed repeatedly acknowledged this in witness's house. Sergeant Pell here acknowledged that this was a good an swer to the action, and that the plaintiff must be nonsnited. Sergeantirsuglion. —,. IL could go further, bat this is candid of you." Sergeant Pell obserred that there was no oanduur in giving op the cause when he found that be could not possibly succeed iu it. The plaintiff was 'seasoned.
