time the Plaintiff sat a man moving in the Mom;
noble and favhionalde circles of Paris under the old

hotiour and princely fortune. Toe Defendant not
being very flush of cash, borrowed of the Plaintiff
the sum of 800/. which the latter eras then welt
able to lend. for he was in abiii,d nice. and ree
ceived the promissory note in question, payahl
six months after date. When the note became
due, it was distionowed, and in vain was appli-
cation made to the Defendant afierwardi lur

feudatit wrote to the Plaintiff from Dublin,
misted to him, that his father, Sir Henry Cir.
veridi.h. had promised to let him haws 11910.

he requested the Count would have the goodaes4 to

be had to pay double postage for his letters.—
Shortly after this the war broke nut between Eng-
land and France, and all communication betwecta
the two countries was broken off, which continued
until the peace of 1802. lu the mean time the
convulsion of the Freoch Revolution had bereft the
Plaintiff of his family patrimony, amid he was re-
duced by that evens, like many others of the
Freud' noblesse, to indigence. In the year 180 i
he sent over to this country sit agent with diri-c-
-lions to recover the amount of this promissory note,
but before any effectual steps could be taken, war
between the two countries had again broken our.
and thus matters rested until the general pacifica-
tion of 1814. As soon as the PI "lf eeetti con-
veniently enforce his claim against the Defendant
he did. He happened by accident to meet his
old friend Mr. Cavendish, by the new title of Lord
Waterpark, at Paris, and he afterwards commenced
the present action. But the trial had been de-•
Isyed for a considerable time by the Defetodent,
who had filed a bill iss equity to stay procretkigs.
That bill had been answered, and now the we was
brought to trial. He thought it aeceseary to state
these circumstances in order to account for the
length of time which had elapsed from the rlal'e of
the note until the present period. The Plaintiff
had never been in England until after the peace of
1814, and therefore there was uo truth in the Da-
ft ndani'r I'o-joinder.

The Sottction-Genwitat (with whom was Mr.
Campbell). submitted that this was a•note which
required a stamp, pursuant to the statutes of
45 Geo. 111. and 48 Gee.
The CHIEF JOSTICZ was induced to think that
those statutes related only to notes made abroad,
which were payable on demand. This note wa•
not payable ou demand, but six months after (fete.
But supposing the matter to be otherwise, he wts
by no means satisfied that these ',tomes had ~ re.

code this point at Mai Prima ; it was open, to 'i.e
Defendant hereafter to agitate the objection. if
there was any thing in it. The note, Ind the De-
fendant's letter to the Plaptiff ' in 1749, were
then read in evidence, and the Plaintiff's cats
was closed.

The CHIRP JUSTICE, in his charge to the Juuy,
