ROBERTS, BAlltr.:o7-CiLDA-CitE--tEOVI-E-TO RECOVER THE

. ,
VALVE OP ♦ RACI4HORII.

This was an action of trover to recover the value of a rase-
hone called " Tenby." The plaintiff, Sr Thomas Rabi',
sent the horse in question, last May, to the stables of the de-
fenJant, who keeps the Bull Inn, at Barleselen•green.
It was attended by a groom in the plaintiff's service,
and both the horse and groom rem sined at the defen-
, dies until the following September. The plaintiff, who had
shortly Defoe become an iusolvent paid 101. on account,
and 011 the 4th of fi.pzember, in an interview with the
defendant, in the presence of en artist named Buckingham,
it was admitted that the defendant was entitled to a balance
of 171. 10s. for the keep of the kine and groom. The
plimitiff tendered that sem and demanded the horse but
the defendant refused to let it go until be was paid a further
sum of 19s. 91 for shoeing, and also U. for staki s which
the defendant alleged he had paid the clerk of the Barnet
run, ;for which the horse had been entered. Tenby"
lost that race as lie had many others. Sir Thomas
Roberts refused to pay either of the sums claimed,
on the ground that he Mote was responsibis
to the fattier, and the clerk of the races
and that the defendant should not have paid either without
the plaintiff's previous authority. The horse was ultimately
sold at Tattersall's at a very low figure. It was now ma-
tended then it was worth at least 70 or 80 guiLeas, but it was
suggested on behalf of the defendant that it could not have
been so valuable, as it was purchased in March, 1149, by the
plaintiff for 141. from one of his assignees, the Insolvent
Coati having assented. The farrier who shod the horse
whilst it was at the defendant's stables, deposed that he hid
never heard of Sir Thomas Roberts, and that the work bad
been done on the credit of the defendant, who had paid the
witness for it last October. As to the stakes. it appeared the
plaintiff wished his horse to be entered for the Edgware races
but that he could not do so according to the rules of the turf,
while en, entrance fee remained unpaid, and that there was
an entrance fee of 61. due by Lim to the clerk of the Barnet
races. It therefore became necessary to have that fee paid
in order to carry out the plaintiff's desire to enter the
/three.

The Lord Chief Baron, in summing up, Kid the only
question was, whether the defendant was lewdly entitled to
demand more than 17i. 10s. when that sum wee tendered in
the month of September last, and whether he wu entitled
to detain the horse, as the additional sums had net been
. .

The jury remained in consultation for two hours end a
half, and ultimately returned a verdict for the defendant.
