Plaielifol sad Mr. llseaalay, Q.C., sad Mr. Geary for-the
defendant.
Tee defendant, who carries ow barium in Buinghall-
chambers, Loads., is the patentee of a cigar lighter or
fuse*, called " the Aetna," and as far back as April,
1853, entered into negotiations with one of the plaintiffs,
named Twigg, an legations ;mechanic, at Birmingham, to
remedy some defects in the construction of the fuse*, and,
in cenneeioa with his partner (Sarnia), to manufacture •
new supply fur sale. The silveriness:as made by Twigg
occupied many months, daring which it became necessary
to purchase • variety of new tools, metal, cad dies, end to
defray workmen's wages, the entire aspens* of which wee
estimated at eat less than 601. ; although, on a suspension of
all business between the parties, attributable to a disagree.
moat as to the terms upon which the fusee as improved by
Twi,,g could be manafactared, was estimated by the
defendant at 201. A long correspondence between wigg
and Beads one read, upon which the facts of the cue
more or less depended ; and it appeared from the letters, as
well as from the testimony of the iitigant parties themaelvee,
that the patentee was telling hi. ori,tinal hates to whole-
sale bosses at 8.. per down, with 10 per cent. off; that the
wholesale dealer would expect to sell the mat 12s. per doses
to the retailer, who, is turn, would expect to vend them at
2s. each ; and that after all plaintiff; &iteration', they pro•
posed to manufacture them at 8s per dozen, which the de.
feedlot thought too great en inciters upon the sam at
which, when the negotiations commenced, the plaintiff
Twigg said that be ',sold mire a better and a chasm
snide. Various efforts were mole to bring the
improved lases into the market, but eventually
the traneactiou between Twigg and Benda were
put as end to, on the ground of eztra price; although the
plaintiffs wished to make some specimen grooms at Its per

as to his being a shareholder at the time, if they foasd he
was so it nand to him (the harmed judge) that he woe
answerable for the debt, for the goods supplied were neon
eery to the mine. Having coneured the non-settlannt of
the debt at the expiration of two months, according to the
practise of "cost book" mining companies, he concluded by
remarking as to the point mentioned by Mr. Catalan in
regard to the corresponding items, that the sums credited
were not specified sums, and the plaintiff had a right to set
theta against say earlier item of the account.
The ;sty returned a verdict for the plaintiff, and 101. 10e.
having been paid into court by the defendant, that amount,
