This was an action fur work and labour.
Mr. GURNEY stated the case for the Plaintiffs,
who are eminent engineers. This was an action for
work dune by them u► the construction of certain
engines mode by order of the Defendant, who
imagined he had invented an engine of great power
and effect, and went to the Plaintiffs to have Ins
ideas carried into execution. One of the Plaintiffs
asked the Defendant what was the intention of the
engine he wished to have made, but that he would
by no means inform him. It was, lie said, a sub-
ject for a patent. He made a deposit, according to
the rule of the Plaintiffs' house, who placed one of
their draftsmen under the Defendant's direction,
and the work proceeded, according to certain
sketches of cylinder., pistons, &c. which he
furnished. The Defendant called continually
as the work was going on, and opened his plies
by degrees, but never told the Plaimiffs fur
what purpose the machines were making, though
he let one of their srue kwon into the secret, which was
simply that the machine was only to supersede the
steam-engine, as he (the Defendant) lead dipcovered
that desideratum', the 'perpetual mutitni. The ma-
chine was finished, and when put in operation it en-
tirely failed. It required a a'reugtl► to resist the
pressure of water, which had nut been calCulated
upon. His clients demanded payment for the
