-
The plaints& in this saw are stone merchants, at Car-
thage, in Wiltshire, and the defendant is the Bev. Thomas
Ireland. The action was brought to reopen 731 18s. for
stone supplied to be used in building St. Thomas's Coated,
at Warne, Is, near Oldham, and the delivery and the good
quality of the stone were admitted, so that the only quer
tun in dispute was the liability of the defendant.
Mr. Montague Chambers, Q C., and Mr. Malcolm ap-
peared for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Berjeant Byles and Mr.
J. J. Powell were for the defendant.
It appeared that on the 20th of May, 185 S, 31r. Roberts,
a builder, contracted to build the church of fit. Themes, for
2.367 L 125., and at first it was intended to use the votive
Yorkshire stone only, bat subsequently an alteration was
made, and the following clans, was inserted in the untried:
" I further agree to eachaoge the stone speeded for the
and to 'apply good Bath stone for the same, Mr.
Trimming to procure the same for me in the Oldham Canal,
at le. W. per foot." The gentleman here named, Mr.
Trimming, was employed as architect, and be did supply
a wouiderable quantity of stone, at 1..13d. a foot, bat he lost
by the transaction, form= rose to best high as 2e. a goat.
Oa the 3rd November be mat a letter to the defendant, in
width he said, " I will order the remaining mass is your
or the committee's name ; " and he accordingly did order
700 feet of atone is the defendant's name on the Bth, and
the stone was delivered ea the 9th, 12th, and 17th No-
vember.
The defendant in his evidence stated that the letter said
to have been sent to him by Mr. Trimming oa the 3rd of
November, was not received until the 7th of that month,
and that an answer was immediately sent to it, which
answer was dated the 7th, and contained this passage:
"This is a business in which I cannot interfere, nor can I
allow any stone to be ordered in my name."
Oa the other hand, Mr. Trimming swore positive y that
he did not receive the defendant's letter dated the 7th
November until several days after that time, sad he believed
not until the 24th.
Varier these circumstance the priaeipal question for the
jury was whether Mr. Trimming had received the defend-
ant's letter before he gave the order for the stone on the
Bth November.
The jury gave a verdict for the defendant.

Thomism was in Aetna, 1864, wherein he spoke of a
marriage license. The short history of the case, according
to the defendant's easount, was, that in August, 1864, the
defendant was near his own place of business, with two
friends, with whom he had been dining, and partaking
freely of wine. The plaintiff was looking is at a shop-
window, in the Strand. One of the party said to the de-

In this use the declaration was upon a document, dealing
with it an a bill of exchange. The second oust dealt with
tas a promissory note. The pleas were non sasumpsit and
us belt.
It appeared that one Wrighton, residing in Africa, drew a
bill for 2001., payable at sight, not addressed to any one, but
MOP e document be wrote Accepted, Smut y-
molds, Big , Bbutn-lase' Bethainstsr, Bristol." The bill
was forwarded to Mr. Pew, who was treasurer of a Bassist
society, and it was in due county presented to Mr. Key-
colds, who wu the father-Ulaw of Wrighton' and he said
be wuld pay It, bathe could not pay it then. It was urged
that as the instrument was not addressed to any one, it did
not 'violent to a bill of exchange. The cue win tiled
before Mr. Jostles Coleridge at Bristol, who bold it to be •
bill of esehsage ; to which ruling a bill of exceptions bad
been tendered, so that the case might be brought before this
wart.

Mr. Mosta:se Smith sad Mr. Prides's: appeared for
the ptatatiff; aad Mr. Serimat Kieslake sad Mr. Barstow
for the deft:dant.
. .

Mr. Smith oonteaded that the instrument being payable
►t sight, must hays been paid at once, and that not being
addressed to any one it was not a bill of exchange.
Mr. fierjeant Ringlake urged that se no one would accept
• bill by writing " thineal Reynolds, Req ," acmes it,
therefore those words amounted to an address. The word
" accepted" had no refenteee to anything, and could not
make void the instrument. As far as the evidence went
the jury bad, on two different trials, found a verdict for
the plaintiff.
The mart took time to consider their judgment, there
being a cross-bill of 'sceptics@ in this use.
