Ilia goner delivered judgment in the following cases :
PEACHY V. Minn.—This was a case in which the
plaintiff, a pianoforte maker, resident in London, songht
to recover £"2, the value of a r fano sold to the defendant,
a joiner and licensed victualler residing at Bootle. The
C4BO was tried on the 29. h of last month. Iu November,
1855 the defendant purchased a piano from Charles
Danvers Hackett for £3B, which he paid to him. It
subsequently appeared that Hackett bad only obtained
the piano on Lire from the plaintiff. He had had two
other instruments from the plaintiff, which he had sold,
but had partly accounted for. The one now in question
he had not accounted for at all. The plaintiff, on
discovering where the piano was, claimed i'', and being
refused, the action was brought. His Honor remarked
that there could be no doubt. that Hackett was guilty of
very gross misrepresentation, and it was very hard that
Rule should sutler for i', but his remedy was against
Hackett. Judgment must be for the plaintiff, but taking
into consideration all the circumstances of the case, he
did not think the plaintiff was entitled to recover the full
amount. His ❑oner therefore gave judgment for £26.
BENNETT v. LINOIRD.—Ta this case the plaintiff, a
wine and spirit merchant, ol'Llverp: oh claimed .435 from
the defendant, a warehouse keeper. also of Liverpool,
The case was heard on the 30th of last month. Some
time ago the defendant undertook to take a puncheon of
rum out of bond for the plaintiff, which he placed in the
cellar of a warehouse in Sperling, street. After it had
lain there for some time, a fire broke out, which
destroyed the greater portion of the premises except the
cellar. The cask was taken out after the fire had been
extinguished, but it was found that three hoops had
burst, and nearly the whole of the rum had leaked out.
It was contended, on the part of the plaintiff, that the
defendant, as his agent, was bound to have had the cask
carefully examined, and, if necessary, coopered, charging
tine cost again-t the owner. His ❑onour held that no
case of negligence had been male out to render the
defendant liable for the loss of the rum, and, therefore,
gave judgment for the defendant.
