wvoilasz n. nut?.
The A TTORIS I.lf-GEN Mt Al. stated, that this was
all art !nought by the Plaintiff, au Attoruey of
ilie Court, against Mr. Henry Huut, une of the
'Trusters of Mr. Laurence Williams, to recover

C7l. tit. 411. for lowoineoct clone for throw Trustee*.
Mr. Lasorotocts Williams, of Nicholas-lane, iner-

Mutt, had employed the Plaintiff as his Attorney ;
three actions were brought against him, and lie had
put in bail bonds, bat his iittairs becoming embar-
rassed, be, in a state of insolvency, conveyed his
proptvty to certain Trustees, and, amongst others.
to Mr.lllusit, fur the purpose oftlistribution amongst
his creditors. The three actions still pending, Mr.

‘Vyburne was acknowledged by the. Trustees as
their attorney for conducting thins, as well as four
others, which were afterwards brought against Mr.
Williams. The questiou iu this cast, was, whether
the Trustees were to be fable for the extwiiiw of dr -
fentlin; these actions. in consequence of the cove-
nants to the trust deed ?

Mr. Laurence Williams. after being properly re-
leased, deposed as to hie esoberresameus iu 1805,
anti his execution of the trust deed alluded to. Mr.
hunt was one of the parties who bad signed it, and
be was present at a meeting, when .11me directions
were given by Mr. hunt, and the other trustees,
to Mr. Wyburne,. relallisCto the defence of said
actions upon which oct'usion he was told he should
be paid out of the effects of the trust estate. Mr.
Wyintrise accordingly went on defending these
actions, and he had since seen hint at a fleeting of
the trustees, convened for tile purpose of making
theta acquainted with the progress made under the
trust deed. la the ,nurse of carrying that trust
deed into effev, certain sliffiaulties occurred, and
it was found necessary to give it up, and that a new
one shoOld be granted, together with a deed of
composition, by which the creditors were to be
liable for all expenses, according to the amount of
their debts. Mr. Haut made it the ground-work
of the new deed, that the former trustees should
be indemnified for the liability they hail incurred
in carrying the first deed into effect, so far as it had
proceeded. This second deed was in April, isoti,
and Mr. flout, upon being applied to by Mr. Wy-
burnt., for money, said Ise dsd not wish to part with
any till ne completely discharged. 'filet was
abittit three or four weeks ago; and he supposed he,
Mr. Hunt, had had money in In. possession about
twelve mo.it'as, anti was theu possessed of nearly
1,7001. of tile trust funds.
Mr. Burke, formerly Clerk to Mr. iVylirne,
now his pettier, deposed, that he had delivered a
copy of the bill of costs to Mr. lieut, upon the
4th of March, 1806, and had demanded payment
thereof ; upon whirl: Mr. Hunt observed, they were
rather ii. a greater hurry thou necessary ; that titers
was no doubt bat Mr. Wyburne must be paid, but
that the Trustees wereoot then prepared to do so,

. .
they having no money in their hands.
Lord ELLEssosocau thought there was not
sufficient evidence, that there was actually money
in the ii•it.ds of the Trustees belonging to the trust
estate, at the time whim the tint action was brought
for payment of this account (this being the second
uctou I), the Jury must noasuit the Plaintiff.—
Plaintiff nonsuited.

JOHN MUOGVIED o. LDWARD DATIL'.

This war au 'action brought by the tuner of mu-
sical instrument* to Messrs. Broadwood, for pay-
ment of 311. 10s. for a piano-forte, funnelled to hie
Defendant, a dealer iu wit provision., in Broad-
street.

The evidence had not proceeded far, before it
appeared that the Defendant had, opou various oc-
casions, accommodated the Militia-by discounting
bills, and had actually a claim against him for a
balence.—Plaintid nousuited.
lIILORE V. INATILINION.

This was au action brought by Mr. Blore. a
builder, against Mr. Watkimion, a shoe-maker, for
payment of 1631.1.15. Id. as the expense of repairs
done to two old houses. in Grees-street, Leicester-
square. The claim was misted, on account of the
demand bring deemed exorbitant : it having been
ascertained by surveyors employed by the Defend.
ant, that I ltd. wail ass ample compensation.
Varions journeymen carpenters and builders
were exsinineil, as to the time occupied, and the
work actually done ; and the nature of their evi-
dence went to prove that CO days luul been occu-
pied, and sometimes one, two, or three workmen
employed. It appeared, however, that the mode of
estimating the espy:um was sacue and indefinite
and much more of the old materials had been used
r than what appeared to hate been deducted in the
computation.
The Jury found a verdict for the Defendant, li-
miting the amount to the sum already paid into
Court.
