Atkinfon was again brought before the Court of King's Bench, when, on reading the affidavit, and hearing Mr. Bearcroft and Mr. Wood in behalf of Mr. Atkinson, Lord Mansfield in a speech that did him infinite honour, declared the unanimous opinion of the Court, That the record fhould be amended as prayed. Lord Manffield concluded his addrefs in words to this effect : 86 "There is a certain principle which I "have laid down in this, as well as other places, which was never more properly applicable than in the prefent inftance: "That no fiction of law fhall ever fo far "prevail against the real truth of the fact, as to prevent the execution of justice." By confent of the Attorney-General, the judgment of the Court against Mr. Atkinfon was postponed till the next term, in order that his Counfel may infpect the record when amended; they being till entitled to take any further objection that may not yet appear on the face of the record. Same day came on the final hearing of Mr. Morris's cause, to establish his matrimonial contract with Mifs Harford, when the Court gave final judgment - "That both pretended marriages were void— "that Mifs Harford, falfely in the libel called "Morris, was at full liberty to marry again, "and that Mr. Morris was condemned in "full cofts." Same day a Common-hall was held for the purpose of inftructing the City Reprefentatives against the Receipt-Tax. Mr. Samuel Smith opened the bufinefs with a fpeech, in which he pointed out the evils refulting from the tax, and moved that the Reprefentatives of this City be inftructed to endeavour to obtain a repeal of the fame. Mr. Alderman Sanderfon feconded the motion, when, upon the fhew of hands, there appeared about fitty in favour of the inftructions, and thirteen againit them, The inftructions were read, and carried with rather a greater majority.
