(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.)
WRIGHT v. JONES.—In this case, which was adjourned
from Friday, the plaintiff, who is a boilermaker and pork
butcher at St. Helens, sought compensation for an illegal
trespass upori his premise's, and the seizure of 4281b5. of
pork. The plaintiff stat.xl that on the 24th of December
'a bailiff for the St. Helens County Court entered his
shpp in the market and seized a quantity of pork, in
consequenee of WhiCh the shop had to 'be slug up for
the day, thereby causing a 9Qnsiderable loss to the
plaintiff; the value of the meat was estimated to be
41 15s. Mr. Pope, who appeared for the defendant,
'contended that the meat was not really the property of
the plaintiff, but belonged to his father„.who formerly
carried on business in the same place. From the state-
! ment of the witnesses who were called fel. the de fence,
it, appeared that the plaintid"s father. owed some money
to the defendant, and the latter had obtained a judg-
meat against, him in the County Court, at St. Helens.
Shortly after the judgment was obtained, the liiisiness
Was transferred from' the father to the son (the present
plaintiff), and the defendant belieVing that the property,
was still the father's, had 'seized it. Mr. Ritchey,- the
inioectoinf'Si.' Helens Market, was Called, and be said.
the rent for the stall had never been paid by the sort, but'
generally by the mother. Dr. Wheeler, who conducted'
the case for the plaintiff, produced some receipts for rent,
whidh were made out to the plaintiff, and which bore
Mr. Kitchen's initials. The jury returned a verdict for'
the plaintiff. Damages £lB.
BREACH OF CONTRACT : CONFLICTING
DEANE v. LOFTHOUSE.
The plaintiff was:Mr. James Stanfield Deane, a mer-
chant,. of 14, Water-street, Liverpool, and the defendant
was Mr. Lofthouse, formerly Liverpool manager for the
and Cheshire Junction Railway, but now
proprietoF of the Albany Hotel, in filine-street. The
aptibn Nvas hiqught tq recover danitiges anstapedin
sequence of a breach of contract hy the defendant. It
appeared, from the statement of gr. Pope,_ on the part
of the plaintiff, that,, some weeks'ago, he bad 411 apPur-
,tunity of buying 1,000 tons of pitch, at some works at
Miles Platting, near Manchester. lie purchased the
pitch, and afterwards resold it to various parties, a part
of the agreement being that it should be placed on board
vessels in the Mersey. The plaintiff sought to get the
pitch carried from Miles Platting to Liverpool, and. he
had an interview with the defendant on the subject.
At the defendant's request, Mr. Deane sent in a note,
asking the terms upon which he would agree to convey
the pitch by canal to Liverpool. Lofthouse replied that
ft he wOalitengliikW t 4 40 eo for Cs 8d per toin,Att the
plaintiff's (mil risk, and 7i 2d per tUn if 'the ''cafgees 'veete
insured. Vpon the basis of that quotation a contract
was entered into, on the same, day, and the time for the
delivery of the pitch in Liverpool docks was limited to
ten days. About a week afterwards plaintiff found that
only 200 tons-ef the pitch had . been. remoted, and'" it
making inquiries of the defendant, the latter replied
that he did not understand how the delay had arisen ;
mid, shortly afterwards, he was informed that it had,
been found that the locks on the canal were too narrow
to Oro the boats which Mr. Lofthouse had apt. Mr.
• * t Deane then yas, or QSi, compelled to make further
ai•rangementi, and agreed ''*ith 'ti 'ear'li'er, iYanied
Walmsley, to have the pitch carried to Liverpool at the
rate of 7s 6d per ton. 222 tons, were brought down by
Lofthouse, who told the plaintiff he should lbse by the
original contract, and he must have 7064 per too instead
of 65"84.' Mr. Deane, in order get hold of the pitch;
paid the 7r6d, Under protest ; MO' the', tlifterenee be-
tween thaf amount and the original contract• formed
one of the items in the account now stied for, to which
was added the extra charge !which 'Deane bad •paid
to Walmsley.—ln cross-examination by Mr. Brett, who
appeared for the defendant,, Mr. Deane said ,he had no
offices of his own. HIS letters were directed to the office
of Fit4eitaoo, Appleby and co arid Ile .wrote
tern there. Was aware what Lofthouse was at the time
when the contract was ni4de; but' dented tho lie weei tQ
blur 'in the first instance to know if the pitch could be
carried by the railway: /file* Mr. Lofthouse as a spe-
culator„ and was a speculator himself. Denied that he
was ever told by Mr. Nicholson that lie .(plaintie) had
deceivpd them Omit the width of the locks oq the canal;
he would swerfF gistinpply that the statement ivas nevrf
made to him.-= everal 'Witnesses were then Called 'rn
support of the case, and they showed that tht) person of
whom Mr. Deane had bought the pitch 'had made every
preparation for its removal into the boats, and that a
serious loss had been incurred by keeping• a number
of men waiting for several clays.---r Mr. 11.relt submitted
that' lie lefteis witichlud been' read did not PrOte
that 'the .defendant Was aetineon his own behalf
when the alleged tiontrast was made. He was in reality
the agent of Messrs. Nichols and Williams,: who had
agreea to remove the pitch.—Hia Lordship Said that one
of the letters contained the words, " I will-agree to--
carry the pitch," and then followed the terms. That
letter was signed hY the defendant, and he should rule is
clear and explicit law thef the dbfefidant'was' liable for
the contract contained iii that `ldtter.--.1--Mf. Brett' theh
opened the defendant's case,', and 13.1,s answer 'to the
plaintiff's Itatemelit
.was Ow. tbe' collfriet jaeyar
mude with' T.lofthouse at all.-_-_Tbedefendant was called,
and stated that the plaintiff was introduced to Messrs..
Nichols and Williams, river and coasting carriers, who
agreed to carry the pitch, but they found that their
boats could not ascend-the canal, and Nichols told Deane
that he had misrepresented the size of the locks, and
therefore-lie should decline to carry out the p(greement:
Deane said tht4 if he had tuisteikregented facts he had
only stated' thhin they had been given tq hina,and he
further agreed to give Nichbls '7s. 6d. a ton if he would
carry out the arrangement.--This evidence was confirmed
