HARRIS 9. CHIcHESTLII.
This was an aftion brought to recover the price of
a horse sold by the Defendant to the Piaintitf, un-
der a warranty. It appeared in evidence U.I the
pan of the Plaintiff, who is a horse dealer, that he
had bought the horse in question from the Defend-
ant for 40 Guineas, ana that the latter enkaged
him a good draught horse. The Earl of Rosslyn,
being desirous of purchasing the horse, the Plaintiff
harnessed him to one of his Lordship's carriages,
And getting on th,• bus himself, had drivdn him but
.s few yards, when he began to kick most violently,
so as to injure the boot of the carriage, and endan-
ger the person of the Plaintiff. His Lordship then de-
clined having any thing to do with the horse, and
sent him back to the Defendant, who refused to take
him. The groom and coachman of his Lordship,
with several other Vi itne.ses, proved the kicking of
the horse, while in the harness, and his apparent vi-
ciousness.

The defence set up by Mr. ERSRINI os the part
of the Defendant, Mr. Chichester, who is a gentle-
man of very considerable property in the County of
Devon, was, that he had bought the horse upwards
of ten years previous to the time of selling him to
he Plaintiff; in all that time he was remarkable for
his gentleness ; he had been driven in every possible
way, as a wheel horse, 1-ader, in tandem, &c. in the
most hilly parts of Devonshire, and in ene instance,
where the pole broke in going down a steep hill and
ran against his sank, no horse could behave with
better temper or gentleness. It appeared that the
Plaintiff's wife had frevendy driven him in a cur-
rick; he was a favourite horse, and was called
Tall ivy, because he could not be matched in size,
and the only reason for the Defendant's parting with
him was on that account.l
A number of Witnesses were called, who proved
those fafts, and the Jury found a Verilie for the
Defendant.

DliAlls U. ITEWAILT.

This was an aftion for an assault. It appeared
that the Defendant was a master tin-plate worker,
and the Plaintiff was one of his journeymen: hav-
ing some dispute about the price of some work,
high words ensued, and the Defendant beat the
Plaintiff very severely.
Mr. East:Ns, in the defence, observed, that if
journeymen were to be allowed to bring aetions in
this way, upon every dispute that might arise be-
tween them and their employers, there would be
no end to this kind of litigation : from a calculation
he had just made, it would take no less than 224
Judges, to do the business of the public ; he there-
fore hoped the Jury would not by their Verdia en-
courage such proceedings.—Verdid for the Plaintiff

TOWN •AIL 4.

This was an anion for the hire of a hackney-
coach. The Plaintiff had hired out a coach to the
Defendant at the rate rf 3s. a day. which he proved.
The Defendant cnntrilded that ►e was only to ray
at the rate rf lialt-a-Crown a day for the coach, and
lodged a sum of 31. 12s. in Court. which would be
the amount of Plaintiff's demand at that rate.

Several Lackner-coachmen were produced to
prove that 2s. tid. wits the astral price ; but. the tpc-
cial attieerucnt heinz proved, the Jury found a
verdia for the Plaintiff 12s. which was the difference
bctween 3.. and 2c. 6J. per day.
