Mr. Serjeant Stir:PUMP stated the case on the
part of the Plantiff. He said, that the debt was
iiwarred by the Defendant at the time he was in
great distress. He had quarrelled with his father,
from whom he had some expeetations, and at the
time he contrac'ed this debt, was left destitute.—
Mr. Ware, at that period. provided bird with
clothes, with tbod, with mouey, mai, upon one *c-
ession, to afford him au upper unity of reconciles.
thin with his purelit, provided hint withapostschaise,
The Deismlunt was then full of gratitude, and ea
various ocenaions expreased the odligatiune he semi,
under to the Plaintiff. About twelve months since

derable 'Properti. His gratitude confirmed till lie
gut possession of his property, and no tonere.
When he was rikely to be able to pay this debt, he
had and that he would not only discharge it, but
would tender a present of a gold snuff-box to Mr.
Ware, in addition, as au ackuowleilginent of his
esteem and gratitude. But the scene was now
elotugeel; he possessed the means, but not the
; aid the Plaintiff war reluctantly com-
pelled to bring this anion. The Learned Coattsel
concluded by obeervieg, he was aware, however
much might be due, that he could recover oniy
what could lie proved.
Mr Charles Fisch stated, that he keeps the

' ant aid Plaintiff; they had frequeated his houses
for six or seven yeare; Mr. hive is a d iticing-
•master, and Mr. MofEt had been a coined:ail
it was owing to Ilia taking to the stage that the
quarrel arose between him and his father. Whet.
these Gentlemen emus to his house, they used
frequently to dine, or sup, upon all which octet-
alone the Plaintiff u.ed itt pay tae bill. The De-
fendant was at that teue in a distressed situation:
and he hail heard him acteowledge that Mr. Ware
stipplied him with clothes, particularly with a
great coat, which lie %apposed in•ght be worth four
or five pound.. Ile also stated, that lie had seen
the Defendant smite the present action had been
commenced, who hail ceinplaited to inns of har-
ing been arrested by the Plaintiff for a huger Bike
than he owed him, us not above ten or eleven
pounds at the utmost wilt due; and, on one °eat-
mon, alluding to his prorassion as- a dancing-
limiter, he hail sai I. that .• he Would 1,-ad hitai such
a dime through the Cimino as he had never deuced
&Arr."
Mi.. Mars Tinder, commonly called the Qeeett
of Covent-Garden, said, that she keeps a Coffee-
! ~,,, sr, in Tavistork-row; Ciavent-warden ; that
the Plaintiff and Defeudant had frequented her
house foi• about three years, and appeared as
friendly together as brothers could passible, be ;
Mr. Ware, upon all ncvn,ious, paid the expense
they hail mutually incurred, and frequently- demerit
the Defeudant to take tip the change. She had
heard the Deftaelant acknowledge the ulrligistioris
he was under to the Plaintiff, that he had received
clothes from him, and had been by him supplied
with money. Witness had seen Defendant borrow
money, and instanced a particular case when Mr.
Ware lent him u seven-shilliugs piece. Mrs. Bittler
also said, she had heard DeDefendant express his in-
tention of presenting Mr. Ware with • gold snuff-
box worth 40 guineas. Upon being asked by Mr..
See ..suet Bess', whether the clothes the Defendant
had received were second-hind, or whether they
were not those originally worn by the Plaintiff? She
answered that she did not think they were ever
worn by the Plaintiff, as he is a larger man thau
the Deiendent. She wss also asked by the same
Gentlemaa, whether Mr. Mnflit had not, in ge-
neral,seedyl(diabby) cloth& To which she replied,
lie ilia not appear so genteel as Mr. %Vary, but al-
we; reapeetalde 'appearance. Wit-
ile,s recollected the Plaintiff hiring a post-chaise
to take Defendant Shooter's-hill. where Plaintiff
had lodgings for the benefit of his health.
Mr. Somers was called to prove the hieing of the
chaise, and of its being paid for by Mr. Ware.
After a few minute* consideration, the Jury re-
turned their verdict for Plaintiff-ISL with costs,
the amount of the sum admitted by the Defendant
to be due to the Plaintiff:
