Jobs Chubb v. °neon was a claim byataxidermiat of Wey-
mouth, against the,oommanding effiow of the Weymouth
Rifle Corps for 15s. for stuffing and setting up • water-bird.
—Kr. Polly Hooper for defendant, said he resisted the
action on principle alone.—lt appeared that the bird, •
specimen of the young if the Great Northern Diver,
was sent through Mr. R. Rolls to Mr. Chubb to be
stuffed.—Plaintiff said I believe I saw Kr. Galion, • fort-
night after; it was over • week. I told him it was
thoroughly preserved, and when I had it setup, I would
send it to his house. These birds take • long Umetopreserve.
I had no orders not to set up the bird, and this is the
first case I have had any trouble about., and 1 have sent
things for and near. The bird was brought in December.
1874, and sent home in March, 1875. Mr. Gluon called to
know if it was est up, and 1 told him it was preserved
but not set up. My wife took it to Mr. Omen's, but
I did not get a civil answer; and it was afterwards sent
back, when I wrote • polite note, saying that if Mr. Gamin
wanted it altered, I would do se—The bird was produced,
set up in a swimming attitude, and plaintiff said 151. was
a fair charge.—Mr. Gomm swore to sending the bird to Mr.
Chubb. through Mr. Rolls. Boma time after he called,
and believed idwasnot then, reedy,' only emptied. He left
word that Chubb WM to let him know when the bird was
ready, that he (Mr. Game) might give him Instructions,
how he wanted it set it up, as he wished it set up, stand-
ing, so PA to show the breast. Chubb was to let him know
before he mounted it, and did not. When it came home
he considered the agreement was broken, and sent it
back.—Mr. Chubb's note was produced. It stated that he
had received no definite instructions as to how the bird
was ti be stuffed, and he had stuffed it in the position he
thought it best suited, but was willing to make any alter-
ation on receipt of directions.—His Honour said this was
a very civil letter.—Mr. Richard Rolls, who had been a
bird stuffed, and recommended Mr. Chubb. said he used
to charge three half-crowns for staffing: he could not at-
tend to such work now, and there was • little more trouble
' about the way it was now Muffed, so • fan price was k.
The breast was not spoilt, sad the bird was n • very good
position. but of come to alter it would not be quite such
• good Job as if it had been stuffed 'tending up at first
Mr. Hooper said Mr. Gown only resisted the action on
principle, as he wished the bird stuffed according to hie
directions alone.—Mr. Own believed that he told Mr.
Rolls it was to be stuffed deluding np.—Mr. Rolls remem-
bered nothing about any special instructions. If he had
no instructions, he should have set it up as it was now done.
—The Judge thoutht there had been an " unbusiness-like
carelessness " on Mr. Gabon's
for
in not giving definite
directions. It would be fair for defendant to pay 9s. and
have the bird, each party to pay their own coete.—Mr.
Chubb: Thank you, your Honour: I hove it will be the
last I shall stuff for Mr. °Geom.—Defendant : I hops so,
too, Ohnbh. —The bird was left in Court, but was after-
wards fokied.
