Ir Plaintiff, who had been since indicted for felony, and found guilty. R. Farrutt, swore that he had been cashier to Plaintiks for 12 s ears. The Defendant had beta a customer for five or six years ; credit had been given TI D. , f, , odant's pass-book for three several sunse t amounting in the whole to 6301., which sums had never been paid to Plaintiffs. He stated, that the regular i A:nurse of banking was, if money were paid by a person himself, or his servant or clerk to enter it Is the pass-bo-k," cash:" if paid in by 'third persou, , t• enter such person's name. The sums in questient were entered as cash." The pass-book was copied from ledger. The money, when paid, was entered is the waste-hunk, then in the cash-book, and then in the - ledger ; the earns in question were etitesea in the ledger in the hand-writing of Hammond, but not in any of the other books. Defendant applied to witness about his having lent money to Hammond. He mentioned that he was in the habit of lending money to Ham mond, who then owed him 4001.. Witness told him Ire was very blameable In lending money to Ham mond, advised him not to do so in future, and to get repaid as soon as he could. He did not tell Plaintiff till some months after, but he did it before Hammond was committed, that he was so much in debt to Defendant. Defendant had told him that Ham mond had purchased the lease of a house, abd was about to be well married ; witness supposed that it would set him right. Defendant had been examined as a witness at the trial of Ham. mood. The Bank always made np the pass books when they were brought for that put* pose, and they required them to be brought for that purpose. Hammond had been appointed by the R: intiff to keep the ledger, during the absence of a person of the name of Gattye. He communicated to Defendant that he had drawn great sums of money which had never been paid in, as soon as the error was discovered. There had been deficiencies caused by Hammond in 1811 ; they were not discovered till 1,812, when notice was given. There were six other acc.:unts erroneous, through the conduct of Hammond. The whole amount of the deficiency cauiesl by Hammond was 2,7001., 1,8311. of which was in the account of the Defendant. Mr. Ilazlewood, attorney for • Plaintiff, swore that he called upon Defendant, to explain how he had paid to Hammond the sums for which Hammond had given Defendant credit : Defendant poiuted out ditlereot drafts and bills of exchange on the debit side of the pass-book, drawn 'in favour of a person of the name of Plomer, and some in the name of Pourer, which Defendant had given to Hammond, and which amounted to 6301. Defendant gave wit ess same of the drafts, but stated, he bad destroyed, el, reit, and the Bills of Exchange. He said, he had not credit for a greater sum than he had paid. He was not able to show vouchers for the identical sums to hip credit, although he bad attempted. He told witness, that he thought Hammond had paid in the money, and on that account he gave the drt ts an 1 notes. Hammond was indicted for stealing t o of the notes, which had been given in exchange for tine of the checks. He said Hammond's name was not on the bills, but he gave no particulars as to the parties to the bills. Defendant called uo witnesses. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, be thought that it was satisfastorily proved, that the payment had not been Prilta. Defendant had admitted that it was an arti: tieial account, as neithe'r he.nor his clerk had paid in those sums for which he had credit as cash. It Was for the Jury to say whether the Plaintiff or the Defendant had been the cause of the over-credit having been given. 'rue Jury retired for about half an hour, and then brought in a verdict for Plaintiff— Damages 6301. TO CORRESPONDENTS. The Letter of I'EntrAs to WILLIA3I WILISOMICE, Ecq.
