• Mr. (iAttaow %toted, that Sheds had r 6.
craved au order front Stingetcx aqd C. to
sattLe a copper still, of such thineusioni as to 4 MI-
Itil II .2099 *lllOlll4, M ith a pea tt.i. ...cm to suit. 'Fiala
rimier Witb on account of a ineuchant in A linelica.—

The price stipoLited was at the
per Lomond for the 'Rik and bixteeii pence hod:-
penny for the worm. Ile understood that the

claimi (or the amount was to he resisted upon the
footiug orals agreement, that twelve months' credit
were to lie given from the date or tine shipment.--
im, he could undertake to do that objection
away, by proving, that the Captain of the ship
calle4 the Lishic, who was appointed to take out
the still to America, refused to do so on accosted of
it* bulk mid weitht, and that although application
WWI made to +soother, aho offered to convey: it for
801. mid 6i. us the expense of lifting die dial, et
Bless'. Sangster and Co. 'closed to pay that :elm,
on, account of the American Linhurgo being tit
that time in force.

James Henry Shears, the son of the Plaintitr
proved the order for the still having been given by
Mews. Setug•ter, is the mouth of itlsreh.last year.
He also proved the ditoensions and stipulated price,
which, lie said, were reduced to wilting, as well as
the agreement of twelse mouths' eredit from the
time of shipment. The still sad win an were made me-
cording to order, and notice given to Messrs. Sang-
ster and Atkinson, the :)efeifilants, of its being
tinislit.d. oil the iith of June, 1807, it was sent tin

lie refused to take it on Sumo, ou ucrount of its
weight end milk. Another Captain was applied to,
but Mehrs. Sangster and Cu. term"! to pay the
freight that was charged, and expense of lifting
the deck, in order to admit it, but agreed to do so
if Messrs. Shears. wound pay the one-half of it.—
The whole expene of the goods, including the
charge for cartage to the Docks, amounted to
8091. 176. Id.
Mr. PARER, fir the Defendants, contended, that,
as tney w.tre merely agents fur persons in America,
it We, necessary for them to hare an authority to
pay such an enormous freight, before they could
agree to du so, in order that they might be rcitn-
hu.sed by their correspondents in America. Ac the
cop:n r could be of no us - in Messrs. Sangsters'
wog:house, and as it could not be shipped, both on
account of its weight and the embargo which had
bi..eti imposed, the period of credit could out cow-
, metier till the shipment had taken place ; whereas
the action had been brought upon the :fist of Jane.
Lord ELIA:NW/RI/WM was of opinion, the terms
k of the agreement meant, that the period of credit
should rommence whenever the goode were ready
for shipment, and that the manufacturer had no-
thing to do with the intent sof the purchasers.—
It was the duty of the Defendants to provide the
necessary conveyance.
Verdict for the Plaintiffs tto3l.
NEVE V. .nEaDoN.

Mr. GARROIV stated, that the Plaintiff win a
widow woman, and the Defendant a merchant,
who had become bankrupt. Previous to his
bankruptcy, he professed great friendship for her,
and was always willing to give her his advice. She,
wishing to take the lease of a house, consulted him,
and employed him to nemociate the business for her.
lie approved of the plan, and persuaded her to have
the lease made nut in his name, as people were in

. .
general more disposed to transact business with
in,m, and to have i hem as tenants, than women....
She consented to this, and 1,0011 after it was so made
out, she asked for her lease, but in vain. The
Defendant made frivolous excuses. and in a short
time became baukrupt, !Lavin previously given
the lease as a security for m 'my borrowed from a
person of the name of Kirby. Upon application to
Kirby, he, as well as the assignees of Ilcadon, re-
fused to give it up, and she was under the neces-
sity of filing a bill a,,,minst them, which produced au
assignment in her favour. It was to recover the
expense of these proceedings, amounting to 521.
the present action was brought.
The evdence being clear and explioit, Mr.
Patter, as Coutisel for the Defeuduut, thought it
could not with justice be resisted.
Verdict for the Plaintiff, .521.

IVENMAII V. SMITH.
Mr. PAW stated, this was au action brought
by the Captain of a vessel called the Bedford,
aktinst a young twit', named William Smith, for
payment of SO guineas, as his passage from Port
Royal in Juniaieu, to this coonitry.
From the evidence it appeared that the Captain
had taken the Defendant on hoard as a pamper,
upon condition of his working his passage home.
During the passage, it happened that the Captain
imagined they had passed the Gulpli of Florida,
and, upoa that occasion, as is usual, a dram was
distributed to each of the crew ; but. some days
afterwanla, the Defendant discovered they were in
shallow water, and that they were only at the
mouth of the Miasissippi. This discovery creating
&jealousy on the pert of the Captain, the Defend-
alit was UM so well used as before, during. the re-
mainder of the passage. Soon after their arrival,
the Captain wrote the Defendant, making • delta
for a jacket cad stockings furnished to him, nick-
ing no mentiou whatever of a claim for the expense
of thee passage. he the present action, however,
be made no mention of these articles, but inrrelj
eininted 50 guineas for the Defendant's passage as
a cabin passenger.
Mr. (iAltitOW made an able defence for Smith,
and eidirged much upon the manner in whieli the
Captain hail ct-^-nitted himself in his levers.
