At the adjourned Salons at Guildhall on Mon day, Thomas Alaska was tried upon an indilment charkilhim with keeping a diforderly houfe near St. Axe.

This was an Anion to recover 3 1. 25. being the amoent of the fum at which certain goods, be- 1 longing to the Plaintiff, were appraifed to the De- I fendant, who had agreed to purchafe them. It was proved, on the part of the plaintiff, that the defendant had agreed to take the goods ac cording to the valuation of a Broker, employed by both part:es, who had finally valued them at thirty three pounds two Millings. It alto appeared, that the defendant lodged in the. plaintiff's linufe, and that at the time of the agreement, the plaintiff was smelled, and in a Lock-up-Houfe. On the part of the defendant it appeared, that he had paid the plaintiff 25L with which, it was aliened by one of the witneXes, the latter declared himfelf perfenly fatisfied, in lieu of the 331. 23. and that tol. of this had been returned by the plaintiff to the defendant, to pay the taxes due on account of the bottle of the former, which was given up to the latter. That the taxes were ac cordingly paid, and a trifling balance remaining out of the la repaid to the plaintiff. No receipt however was produced on the part of the defen dant, to prove that the plaintiff had acknowledged the 251. he had received as a full fatisfa6tion f'or the 331. 2s. at which the goods had been valued, and on this circunitlance the plaintiff's Counfel chiefly relied his reply. Lord ALA? A LEY obferved, in fumming up the evidence,that the defendant ought to have brought the bell evidence which could be had, that is to fay, the plaintiff's receipt, to prove that he had accepted the fum of 251. in full fatisfanion of the fern of 331. as. which was agreed to be paid by the defendant to the plaintiff. Verdi& for the Plaintiff—Damages 81. as. with Colts: OPPENHEIM AND ANOTHER V. RUSSELL. The Defendant is proprietor of a Waggon go- ; ing from London to Plymouth, in which certain goods were fent by the Plaintiffs, configned to a houfe at Plymouth. The Plaintiffs gaining intel ligence of the failure of the Confignees, hopped the goods in tralfilii. The defendant 'detained the-goods upon a plea that the Confignees were indebted to him upon the balance of an account, and that be bad a right to detain the goods in part of payment of that debt, ezclufive of what was due to him for the carriage of the goods. Thek fads appeared by the admiffion on both fides, evidence not being gone into. r. Serjeant LENS and Mr. Damn sa, having admitted the fads, and the right of the Plaintiffs to flop in traiitu, which they had in this inftance clone, contended, that by the cufkom of England, a Common Carrier was authorized to detain goods fent by him, until any debt due to him by the Confignee was difchargel Of this Cullom they offered evidence, from which they intended to draw an argument to meet the Cafe before the Court. Mr. Serieant SHEPHERD and Mr. READte, for the PlainStFs, objeEted to this evidence as inadmif fible' and it was finally over-ruled by Lord ALVAN i.sy, who obrerved, that if evidence was admitted to prove the euflom, it could not go to the Jury in this cafe, as it could not affea the Plaintiffs right to flop in granite, it not being con tended that the goods ever were legally in the pof lemon of the Confignces. l le, therefore, refufed to receive the evidence tendered by the Defendant's Connie]. It was at length agreed,that the Plaintiffs Should have a verdict for the amount of the goods, fubjea to the opinion of the Court, upon a Motion for a new Trial. WOLF TJ. MLLilt. This was an Action for an Affault, in which Come contradidion of Evidence appeared, and the decifion of which turned upon the credibility of the Witneffes. The Plaintiff is a female, and the Defendant a Broker. The latter had jußified upon the Record, by alledging that the Plaintiff had behaved in a riot ous manner in his dwelling-houfe, and that he bad gently put her out. The principalWitnefs for the Plaintiff pofitively fwore,_ that the Defendant brought the Plaintiff out of the houfe of the former in his arms. and then puihed her down upon the ground with con -fiderable violence • whilft, on the other band, it was as pofitively fivom by a Witnefs for the De fendant, who Paid, he was in the houfe of the lat ter at the time that the Plaintiff came into the De- Pendant's houfe, and behaved in a very riotous manner; and that the latter, after repeatedly de firing her to quit the honk, which the refuted to do, took her up in his arms, carried her out of the aor, and gently Pet her down upon her feet upon the ground. The Jury, after i'.rne confideration, found a Verdi& for the Plaintiff—Damages ts. which car ries Cogs, there being a juftification upon the Record. MOOD V. SLATIIt..-DSCINIIIII 17. This was an adios; brought by the Plaintiff who is a Rove-grate maker, againfl the Defendant who is an Apothecary, to recover the value of a kitchen range and oven furnilhed by the former to the latter. It was contended on the part of the plaintiff, that the articles were made exadly according to the orders of the defendant, and in a workman like manner ; but two witneffes engaged in the trade, who were called on behalf of the plaintiff, hefitated to fay the articles were finilbed in a workman-like manner ; all that could be got out of them being, that they had feat fome articles of the fame kind better, and Come worfe. It was proved that the defendant had agreed to keep the oven, but had demanded of the plaintiff to take back the range, as being not made in a proper or workman-like manner. One witnefs was called on the part of the de fendant, who Rated that the range was badly made, and in a Rata not fit for ale, and that it was then in the fame Rate as when it cams out of the plain tiffs hands. the Jury quitted their bor to examine it. When ther returned, they declared their decided Opinion that at was a very bad piece of workmanfhip. The plaintiff's Connfel then contented to be non (tilted, as the remaining articles of the plaintiff's bill, after deducing the range, did not amount to 51. and therefore if a verdia had been taken for a lets turn than 51. the defendant would have been entitled to double coils under the Court of Confci ence Mt for the City of London, both parties living within the city.—Plaintiff nonfuited. PATY, •SSIGNIIt OF FITCH, A BANKRUPT, V. SAVA C E. This aftion was brought to recover the rum of 751. which it was alledged the Bankrupt had paid to the Defendant after committing an at of Bank ruptcy, who was therefore liable for that amount to the Aftignee. It appeared that the plaintiff was the coeditor of the Bankrupt to the amount of about 3001. and that the remaining debts of the latter amounted to little more than 451. Evidence was called to prove an adt of Bankruptcy on the sth of June La It alfo appeared that the defendant was (er rant to a Mr. Harris, a wholefale linen-draper, and that the plaintiff, accompanied by another Jton, went to Merton, in Surrey, on the 17th of une, where Mr. Harris has a houfe, and Pent for the defendant to an Inn in the neighbourhood, where, according to the teftimony of Mr. Davis, who accompanied the plaintiff, the defendant con feffed he had received the 751, from the Bankrupt, either on the sth or 6th of June, being the fum lie had before lent to the Bankrupt. The plaintiff, accompanied by Mr. Davis and a third perfon, went on the a tft June to the houfe of Mr. Harris, in whore prefence they again interrogated the de fendant, who acknowledged he had received the money, but the time when he had received it was not mentioned. Lord Asvam sly, in his obfervations to the Jury, laid particular firers on the cireuntaance of the plaintiff and his friend fending for the defen dant to the public-houfe, where no friend of the latter's was prefent, and their endeavouring to get out of him an acknowledgment of what they want ed, inftead of going to the houfe of Mr. Harris, the defendant's mailer, and alto on the improba bility of the Bankrupt's paying the defendant 751. in fatisfaaion of a debt, at a time when he was afraid of being arrefted by the plaintiff. It was for the Jury, however, to confider whether they were fatisfied that the money was paid by the Bankrupt to the defendant after an adof Bankrupt cy committed? if they were, however hard the cafe might be, they muff find their Terdia for the plaintiff.—Verdid for Defendant.
