Mr. Overend submitted that here was no priority of con-
tract between the pniatiff and the defendant; the only
potion to whom the defendant was liable, it liable at all,
was Taylor.
His Loroship thought otherwise, considering Taylor as an
at.ent te tte pvintiff in the negtttstion.

that the miner paid into court was for the sample seek and

His Lordship, addressing the jury, said the questions for
them to consider were, whether the niosteen sacks of ent-
reats transferred to the defendant were equal to the ample
sent on the 7•b of the same month. If the jury wine of
the affirmative °platen the defendant was undoubtedly
liable, and the plaintiff entitled to a verdict. On the other
nand, if they wen of opinion that the nine' een sacks were
not equal to sample they would et wider whathir the de-
fendant had objected to them within reasonable time ; and
thirdly, it they came to the conclusion that the bulk was
not 'quill to um; Ic, but that the objection had not bun
made within a reasonable time, the jury would then con-
sider whether the defendant was or was not antiled to any
and what deduction from the original price per cwt. at
which the fru:t was sold.
