. . .

Cherie. flenniik, wine merchant's traveller, landlord,
V. W. IL Atkin..., solicitor, Mandford. —This was an
action to recover the sum of £l.l, which it was alleged
defendant had received on plaintiff's behalf and negleetel
to hand over. —The answer to the cane was that the money
sue,' for had been paid, and that instead of defendant
owing plaintiff money there was a balance luta to I t
£5 I7s. lid, for professional serviees, to which the plaintiff
objected that the professional eervice., were not authorised,
and, further, that the bill of colds was excessive. -Mr.
Tanner appeared for plaintiff ; and an attempt was Wale
to settle the matter aiiiicadily, but the legal gentliancri
were unable to agree upon the facts, which were very
complicated. The case was Dot gone into minutely, led
from the evidence given and argument that took Mare we
gathered the plaintiff*. Cade to be as follow. - Plaintiff
was formerly a traveller on commission for Mr. Pop.
wine merchant, of Blandforil, and about November but
! he had a letter from Mr. llrenuand, solicitor, of Mainh
ford, informing him that Mr. Roys was about to take
criminal proceedings against him for embezzling bis
monied. Plaintiff took this letter to defendant en a MM.
day, he thought, and on the following Friday he heard
that Mr. Boys had tried to get a warrant to have him
apprehended, but the warrant was refused by the magis.
, tratea. clerk. Defendant appeared for him on the satuis
! day, when the magistrates were applied to for a warrant,
, and it was again refused. That 111103 e eveniug plaintiff
alleged that defendant asked him for sonie money, ansl he
lent him £2, and subaequently lent Min further sums of
19 and £l. At that tune plaintiff said he had not in.
structed defendant to bring any actions for libel on his
behalf ; and the first he heard of proceedings for libel
having been commenced was when defendant told him
the writ had been served. At the I/member countY
Court plaintiff brought an action against Mr. Boys to
recover Cid. commission on wines sold by him. Defend-
ant then acted for plaintiff, the agreement being that they
were to divide the money recovered, After the raw hell
been gone into it was referred to Mr. Park for hiui
decide the amount of commiesion due at :,, per emit. The
same evening defendant. Mr. Rickman, awl plaintiff and
his mother dined together at the home .if the Litter, and
defendant then preemie.' that, its the arbitration would be
a tedious affair, plaintiff should accept Lin in fell du-

Mr. Boys paid defendant the 3.1, out 1.1 tbe

borrowed of him, and alleged that inatewl of giving him
his share of £l5 out of the £.lO defendant gave hum •
sovereign only, and said he 4101111.1 MT him again. Plaintiff
amid he had nut received the other ill. and it sa • for
that he was now seeing. Plaintiff further alleged that
whilst defendant wail dining mother,: house on die
evening previously mentioned Mrs. Denville mil Ate was
glad her son had won the case, and she Impel there would
be no more law now. Plaintiff sae' he did not want any
more, and instructed defendant to discontinue the pro-
ceedings for libel, to which definetant replied he thought
he had £lO of his own he could sem-elate on that matter.
