BRIDPORT COUNTY COURT.—WED3rtene T.
Before & Everett, Req., Judge.

. _
Most of the case were mottled out of °Geri, and
the few heard were generally uninteresting.
Joseph {lntern r.Maeob Corniek.—Claim for PI 7s. 6d.
—Mr. Manley, for defendant, said the only &hies in
pate was an item of 13e., the remainder of the •mou,ii
, they had paid into court -Plaintiff seid that the 13..
we' for a pair of boots which John Coroick had, and
I which he (plaintiff) had been told to charge to the de-
fendant, who had paid for a pair of boots, and twice for
repairs of boots for John Comic& previously.—Yr.
Manley oroge-examined the plaintiff : When the bill
now produced was paid, this 13e. was not paid. John
C,ornick had offered to pay ss. on secomit of the boots
if he would charge them to him, but he refused it, and
said be had nothing to do with hint.— William {tinhorn,
KM of last witness, corroborated, and said that denudes{
about • fortnight after the boon were had, said Le
! wished they had not let John Corniok have them, avid
that be knew he should have to pay for them. —Another
! witness, • lad, also oorroborated.-11r. Manley called de-
fendant, Jacob Corniok, • gamekeeper at Hook,. The toll
produced was from Mr. Moines. The pair of hoots in
! it was Dot ordered by witness; he had ordered a pair of
I boon foe John Cornick scone time ago but not this pair,
he had never told plaintiff that he knew he should Lave
to pay for these boots. His wife had offered to pay
14s. Od. to plaintiff on the amount now owing, but he
reinsed to take less than the whole amount, Which they
would not pay as he had not ordered the boota—Anna
Maria Corniok, wife of last witness, corroborated, and
Alfred Mendell spoke to hearing defendant's win off. r
to pay plaintiff the 14e. 6d.—John Corniek, formerly
in Jacob Cornick's employ, said he went and had • pair
of boots of plaintiff in July, 1865, but was not told
by defendant to get them, and he did not
tell plaintiff that defendant would pity for thou.
He offered to pay an Instalment of &a. about a fortnight
after the boots were bad, and the balance in a short
time, but he ...tad not take it. He was willing now to
pay the 13..; be (*old not say
all that day, but would
pay part Er-
.—A man named avie also spoke as to hearing
John Cornick say he had • pair of boots on which Jacob
Corniok had ordered for him. John Corniak, however,
in reply, said he did not remember saying to him any-
thing about any boots, but if he did it must have been
the previous pair, not the pair in dispute. It appeared
that John was in the employ of Jacob Carsick when
these boon were bad and the repairs done; he left his
employ for a time, but was note again in his service.
ilia Honour said where a maator had authorised a
tradesman to supply goods to • servant in his emPleY.
if he did not countermand it, the law bald him liable
for all goods had by the servant. He believed that
John Corniek had sworn falsely. Judgment for plaintiff
forthwith, and also his witnesses' expenses allowed.
Mr. Robert Hoonsell e. George Powell.—Mr. GendrY
for defendant. —Plaintiff said defendant rented of him •
house and spinningways. Plaintiff had bought the pro-
perty last year of Mr. Needel!, and the defendant •A.
then the tenant. Defendant had paid him three.
quarters of a year rent. The property was renkal at
10e. per year. Plaintiff had given defendant • verbal
notice when he paid him the first qnarter, that he
required the house for his own workpeople, and that ho
most get another house for himself. He bad sent •
written notice lest March by Henry Loveless, who
worked for him.—The Judge said that proof of tho
service must be given, so plaintiff called Henry Love-
less, who said be took the notice to Powell's house on.
the 24th of March • he could not read it, but he under-
stood from his master, who gave it to him to deliver, that
it waa • notice to leave.--Mr. H. Moonset!, plaintiff's
son, who wrote the notice, wassailed to prove the writing
of it.—Mr Gundry orose-examined Mr HosaselL Wbra
, the first quarter was paid he tolddefendant he wished him
! to suit himself with another house, as he wanted it for
his workfolks ; he did not wish to hurry him. When
the second quarter wits due the written notice was
given. It appeared that Mr. Houma cionsidered, as
the rent wee paid quarterly, that • quarter's nodes was
sufficient.—Mr. Gandry said his dieing was a yearly
tenant, he had been in the house 18 years, and there-
fore be ought to have a half year's nodes instead of
! three months. Noodled the defendant, who said he
took the premises 18 years ago at £7 16a per year. The
rent was raised afterwards to and than to £9 10a,
het the tenancy being yearly had sever been altered.
I The time of year when he first entered upon the pro-
mises was mss.—His Honour said the Mummy
wee • yearly one, and therefore • ball-year's sodas war
, required ;if Mr. Hounsell bad only consulted some
solteitor before °mains to that court, be would have
saved the trouble and expense of coming there, If he
had given the tenant six mouth's notice in March instead
of three, he would have obtained tOONlstion at Michael-
! seas The one was therefore dimmed.
The Sane., Jamas Follett. —This wee &similar can.
, except that the tenant paid monthly indeed of quarterly.
I —Mr. Gundry for defendaut.—Pkintiff musedered de-
fendant was a monthly tenant as he paid monthly, he.
rented part of the property plaintiff bought last year of
Mr. Needell t he was a tenant at the time ha bought the
property. 'The defendant said he first rented the pre-
mises of Mr. NeedelL He took than at £9 by the year,
bat it was agreed with Mr. Saks", Mr. Nwidell's
that he should pay monthly. Yr. Gandry said Mr.
Baleen was present for the pelisse ef proviat that
defendant was • yearly Unapt— This eau was also
diamiased.
