The final determination was accordingly fixed for Wei nefday. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEB. Esp. THE KING O. REDDINGTON. This was an information againit the defendant, filed by his Majelly's Attorney-General for a breach of the Excite Laws. By feveral Statutes all perfons are prohibited from carrying on con jointly the trades of tanner and currier. Before the tanned hides are can led to be cut up they mull pay a confiderable duty, and be Ramped by thz escifeman. When the tanning and currying are concluded by the fame perfon great facilities are given to the evafion of this duty; and therefore . the pradice is prohibited, under the penalty o f the forfeiture of all the hides fo dreffed, and a hi.;ll pecuniary fine. With a breach of this law the de fendant was Charged ; and Coon after the opening of the cafe by Sir - Edward Law, he contented that a verdid thould pats againfi him for 6001. The Court was employed the rell of the day in tryisug THE KING V. ELLIOTT AND ANOTHER. wnicS was a writ of extent. The defendants are afiignees of a bankrupt, who carried on a gl.rfs , manufaeory in Radcliff-Highway. The quellion was merely, whether Mr. Home was in part nerfhip with Mr. Metcalf, in whore name the glafs-work was entered ? That a debt exifted to the Crown was not denied, and the trial was un , commonly tedious and uninteretting. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. x 9. TAYLOR V. T 5313. This was an anion againft the Defendant fel' giving falfe reprefentations of the circumftances ct one Stubbins, by which the Plaintiff was induced to give him credit; and he not proving iblvent, the Plaintiff brought the prefent aftion to recovtr the fum of 701. which was due to him from Stub bins. The declaration Rated, that the Plaintiff and Defendant were both Curriers and Leather-fellers, and that the latter fraudulently intending to de ceive the former, made falfe reprefentations of the folvency of one Stubbins. The declaration then went on more minutely to Rate, that the Plaintiff heat his fervant to the Defendant to enquire the ' cbaraiter of Stubbins, and that he, in anfwer to !Itch enquiry, laid, Stabbins was one of his bell [Cuflomers • that he.fhould be forry to lofe him, for he too k fuch goods as he could not otherwife conveniently difpofe of, and that the reafon why Stubbins dealt elfewhere was, that his, the Defen dant's, circumßances, were too limited to give. him the credit he wanted. In the fecond count it Rated the Defendant reprefented, that when 1..! wanted money, he drew upOn Stubbins, who Ile- I cepted his bills, which were regularly paid. . It then went on to aver; that on the faith of thefe 7c prefentationithe Plaintiff entrußed the Defendant. The material witnefs, to prove the fags was ` a fervant of the Plaintiff's, of the name of Payne : He Rated that Stubbins applied to them in April, and referred to Tebbs for his chars ter. He w a , feat to Tebbs, and made the neceffary engoi. : when the Defendant told him, " that StublAn. :was one of his belt cultomers, for that he teak goods he could not well otherwife difpofe of, anti etat he thould be forry to loft him ; but he could not, from his limited capital, give him credit to the extent he wanted." The witnefs, however, did not prove the fecond part of the declaration, as to the drawing and payment of the bills. ' Stubbins hirafelf was alfo examined. He flatt,l that Tebbs knew the whole of his tireuniflatir , - ; that he had but little capital ; but as Teb-, h4ti promifed to affiß him, he hoped to do well en h trade, efpecially as he had fome expeaancies ft( re. a relation; but that, in point of fad, lie could 1,, c have gone on without aliiilance from fome 0,11. i ;.:, .
