It cume• on for trial before the Loan CHIBIP• JUSTICE; at O'uildhsll, when a verdict was taken for the Plaintiff for 35,890/. subject to the opinion of the Court on six several points. It appeared that the late Mr. Win. (lope, being in lode.. retrutted home the greater part of his pro perty in bills of exchange. drawn by the Madras Government on the Company here ; he afterwards, in March, 1809, embarked with his family, on hoard the Jane I inehess of (Jordon, which ship, with two others, was lost MI the voyage home, and Mr. Hope and Ins tinnily perished. Three of the bills which •Mr. Hope remitted prior to his departure from 'lndia, were nut endorsed by him, but sent in a letter to his %cent, Mr. Carr, who, after his deeds, endorsed the bills by procuration. The fourth bill was remitted from India after Mr. Hope's departure, and was not to fact created till otter his death, but was endorsed and received, as were the others, by Mr. Carr. Letters of administration were taken ant in 1813, by Jinn* Murray, who died—and a second rdmisii.irsition was granted to the present Plaintiff, Jolnt Murray, its-the yen,. 1814. The points reserved for the uptown of the Court were -Ist. Whether an anion of asimmosit could be maintained against the Detroit...nig, on the ground that they are a Corporate Bud, ? 2dly. if Mr. Carr, the agent of the Intestate, could legally endorse after lime death of the Intestate, the three bills of exchaii‘e winch were retained without endorsement ? 3dly• i'Vhether the Statute of Limitatious outset a bar In time present action ? 4i hly.

The amount of interest that should be recovered, supposing that city should be allowed Mr. CAMPBELL was slow heard in support of the verdict, and cm the tint point he contended, that all the Acts of Parliament, from the 9th and 10th of William •nd Mary down to the Act of 63 George 111. cap. 155, wider which the Company now exists, recognised the power of the Company to make a promise, which could be the subject of essumpsit. The Act last referred to, at sec. 57; enacts, that the a'aets of the Company should 1 " first be applied iteproeiditig lOr the payment of such bills of exchaege as may have been drawn upon and accepted by the said Company." On the second point he contended, that Mr. J. Carr was not entitled to endorse bills after the 111 testate's death, be cause, he &Iseult - I maintain, that lie could not, under the power of attorney, which was his only authority to do so durirte. the Intestate's hie. 1 hat instru meet contained no word, to that effect ; and exprt ss words were, he contended, necessary to give such a power. On the third point,. which was if the Sta tute of Limitations did not har the action as to the three bills, which were drawls three months after sight, accepted onlhe 20111 July, 1809, and be came • due on the 23d October, 1809, so that the. six years allowed by the stittql.e would expire on 8311TICtober, 1813. The present action was commenced in August, 1816. The Statute of Li mitations provided that all actions on the ease, ex cept for slander, should • commence within six 'years from the cause of action. The question here, therefore, war. when did the cause of action arise? Mr. Hope died in March, 1609; and letters of admi nistration being granted first in 1814, hecontended that the cease of action crinlil not be said to *ripe tillllsat period, es no party existed 'till then :ape Could maititain an *Choi,.
