pher Crean. the late landlord of the Slat and Gar.
ter Inn, Richmond, for the amount of an account
fur victual., Sce. supplied to Lady Turner.
Mr. MARRY•TT stated the case to the Jury for
the Plaintiffs. After the death of Mr. Crean the
business was carried on by his executors fur the
benefit of his children, sod was conducted by his
widow on their account. In the latter end of July
Lady Turner came to.the Star and Garter with her
mother and an 'Mint, two maid servants, and a car-
riage and horses, and remained till the latter end
"of the month of November; and during that period
the account for their entertainment amounted to
550/. The account was furnished to Sir Gregory
• Page Turner, and no objection taken to it, except
' that time was requested to examine the account.
• He (Mr. Marryatt) was at a loss to know what de.
fence could he made to the action, as Sir Gregory
'was fully cognisant of his lady being at the Star
and Gamer, and the consequent expeose which had
been incurred.
Mr. DENMAN here intimated that the account
had been settled by a cote given to Mrs. Crean,
' who conducted the business.
Mr. MaititYaT said that true it was a note hail
been given, but the executors returned it, as it was
at too long a date.
The Learned Counsel then called the cook of
the Star and.. Garter, and Mrs. Crean, the wide°,
who proved the facia a. 'turd. They were crow
examined by the COnioion Serjeant, but nothing
woo elicited to alter the circumstences as slated by
Mr. Marrratt.
The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiffs—
damages 5,591.

stquent refusal to fulfil it.
On the cross-exeminstion of the broker by Mr.
CAMPBELL. lie admitted that hr never saw the De-
fendant nu the business, but had transacted it
with his brother, who acted as his agent. He de-
nied that this was a time bargain, though lie ad.
untied that Mr. ['ethers had received differences in
money on some occasions. Ile also staled that the
Defendant had himself received some differences

Plaintiff wag the only great buyer in the market at
the time. and that his speculations had raised the,
price of tallow.
. Mr. CAlhiPstr.L addressed the Jury for the De-
observing. that this was a most ungracious
action by the Plaintiff, as the Defendant had been
a hinkrarpt. and as this was a claim from which his
