Mr. Fowler bad not taken the money.
By the Mayor : There was no hindranoe to the Aid
coming alongside, &KO they had everything ready for
her to land 'seepages:igen.
Kr. Welaford *sprayed his regret at having to
appear. for without gels/ into the question of tia
liability to pay tolls, Mr. Vertus had given butruations
that the money should be paid, though, as he believed,
wrongly. Immediately on the ems being closed the
other day, Mr. Vertu" asked Capt. Cosecs the amount
of his c'ains, which he immedatoly paid. On the Mon-
day Mr. Fowler came to Mr. Venue and naked for the
amount of the toll for that day, and Mr. Vertue keine-
diately paid, and at the same time salted what was the
111110U11i Cf the claim for Sunday? The answer waa " I
will not take it; I have taken outs summons for that."
And they wel dragged to this court again (although
they bad tendered emery farthing of the money) because
they did not disembark passeingere on the Pier. Was

Court should be *mated they would have paid. Plaintiff
might say they were liable to tender, be coateoded they
were not liable, for • passenger is one who pays his

with Mee, it would be en Insult if be should consider
them passenger,. The boat we, engaged by Mr. Tisard,
and be took out these people for • cruise in the bey,
landing them al no *go, and when he brought them
bank, there was no proof he disembarked in the harbour,
and the osse must fail for want of evident*. He also
contended that it would riot have been right for ladies
to have landed from the Aid over the eponson of the
Commodore. The Custom hone* authorities absolutely
refuse to chow the Jersey deamboats to land at this
Pier landing place, in consequence of there not being
sufficient sooommodetion, and he urged there was not
proper scoomenedetiou there for the Aid. It wsa the
lessee of the tolls himself who puts °bettor:dons in the
way by keeping steamboats at that analog piece, and
compelling them to cross one, two, or three steamboats.
Mr. Arden said this was CO clews for not paying
Mr. Weleford said the summons was for disehargiag
pissengers at other places than the pier. But the plain-
tiff bad signally failed to prove they were passengers,
they could not even prove that the ,0111.101 was not sold
on the laturday, and that these people were not the
proprietor,. Did the Bench think it ,noosesary to
troutinta his seas?
The Mayor . Yes certainly.
Mr. Weleford then proposed to call Mr. Blandforei ;
but Mr. Arden said tide eras • ogee for penalty, and he
doubted whether Mr. Webford could legally call the
defendant.
Weldord then called Mr, George Julius Vertu..
Mr. Vertu* knew Ito steps and said pleasure boats
are allowed to be anchored thore,and yachts are moored
therm If there was depth of water for his brat, she
would be allowed to go alongside; but at neap tides she
meld not get there, as there WWI not enough water.
With friends on board, coal, Ins., the boat draws about
five feet of water, and at low water near spring tides, it
Is with difficulty one can get there with an open beet.
Bad been there hundreds of times. Steamboata are
almost constantly moored at the staging, either the
Pito°e or the Commodore. When the steamboat is
listened aloopide the Pier, they could not get at Gm
landing stage. All the rest of the Pier is either railed
or barricaded in, and it would not be fit for ladles to
land. Could not toll lithe steamboat was there on
Sunday. The 'penmen of the Commodore would be 1f

L'l:lthere it would bring that side of the Aid still

would be at about half • right allele. At the rosette
he landed in this way, arid bad • " leg up." or he could
sot have landed without inconvenience. On account of
the want of accommodation he denied his liability to
pay the tolls; but had notwithstanding given direodoes
