Tile plaudit): tit his replica tion, denied the tender s and spots this issue was joined. Mr. Malcolm stated the facts to the Jure. The pleadings, he v•id, had been correctly stated by his Learned Friend; but the simple question to he de cided was, whether, io point of fact, the Plaint tt was entitled to the sum of ten guineas. which he de manded of the Defesida or whether his claim was to be eut down to the leseer stim of four pound.. Th e Plaintiff was a mechanic of tlee higher order-- by which he meant • eau who devoted his ingenuity and his talents to the allevistiou of the miseries and inisforitine4 of his fellow -creatures. Hr had, lit fact, long been celebrated for the mauufacture of artificial legs, and carried on his business in Buck ingham-street, Strand. The Defendant was a ratt ler, and resided iu the same neighbourhood. The present action was brought to recover ten guineas, for putting a slew foot and ankle, mid making oilier additions to a leg which had been sent to the Plain tiff by the Defendant to he repaired, and it would be the province of the Jury to say whether this suns exceeded what might be considered as • fair remu neration far the labour and peculiar talent which hod beeti etuplosed. The evidence which lie should be able to call. he was instructed, would prove that the Plaintiff had been furs length of time carrying on the business of n leg maker, and that in remedy ing the defects of those who might have lost their limbs —especially during the war in which title comory had been so recently engaged, and dm kg which so many illuttrious individuals had borne from the field prinfial but glorious proofs of the Va. loser wldcli they had displayed—he had been singu larly successful. It would further be proved That. on the 13th or 14th of November last, the Deftnd ant, Mr. Weiss, sent for the Plaintiff to nopilir tut artificial leg for a customer. When the Pleetittlf went to his house, and saw the leg, lie observed that it would be by much the cheaper and better *Hy to make a new leg altogether, than to attempt to re medy the defects of the old one. The Defendant stated that the owner was particularly satisfied with the old leg, from the exactness wish which it fitted him, and therefore preferred retaining that to leivisier a new one ninth.. Upon this the Plaintiff treik the old lei home with him, stud, miaowing it beliiie Ilse calf, proceeded with his customary talent to supply a slew foot. an elastic toe, • spiral sprinir ankle, and all that complicsted inachiuery which rendered such au artificial instrument most useful to the timer. Independent of this part of the tack. he covered ;he thigh mid leg with new leather—new stuffed a pad at the top of the orifice, which re ceived the natafel *wasp, and added • bOdy. strol , aid a strop to go over the shoulder. for the 1e311,01r of rendering the whole more secure. For doing all this his demand was only ten guineas.

The first witness, Charles Gordon, was then called and examilyed by Mr. EARLEite deposed that he occasionally worked for the Plaintiff: lk recollected hero% had to repair a leg for Mr. Writ* about three weeks sign. Mr. THENSIGF.II (Counsel for the Defendant) — My Lord, this cannot be the leg in question; env Learned Friends hod better put their right foot furernost.—f Leughietv Witness, in emitinuation;—He remembered at another time repairing a leg for Mr. Weiss, about two or three months ago, Mr. Tuasstasit—Non constat, the leg in the declaration. ~~ Mr. KOWA —My Learned Friend is too anxious to knock the kg from under us.—( Laughter. 1 — We must go by steps. 1 propose examining the witness to the repairs which he made on a cular leg, and then to identify that as the leg in question. , The witness remembered repairing an xitificill kg for Mr. %Vein below the calf ; he put to it is new foot, elastic toe. and spiral spring in the heel. Mr. Tetes.tots— I am afraid my Learned Friend will make but • lame story. if I do not lend him some aid. Here is the identical leg of which he is in pursuit; he is welcome to all the support he cats derive front it. 'the kg was then put into the witness's hand. and he was called upon to describe its anatomy. This he did, and pointed out the rations parts whicit required the aid of particular ingenuity to manufacture. From the prices he had seen charged for such articles. he considered Mr. Shand's de mand fair and reasonable. Cross-ezaatiased by Mr. Tuassiaza.—He ad. milted that iu • piece of wood placed, wider the instep spriug. a screw had been omitted, by alt oversight, the coosequence of which onsiiisiou was that the spring was thrown out of its place, and the motion of the machinery became greatly impeded. He thought bruin and not steel spring* were *Yr. On being further pressed on this point. he said Mr. Shand could explain the comparative Loges b e st, as he wore such ;t leg himself. Q.
