BARRY V. PICKFORD.

This was an actioab;t4hil;;Weil;intiff, a widow lady,
to recover a compensation in damages for an iojury which
she had sustained from the carelessness of tho Defendant's
servants.
From the evidence for the Plaintiff, it appeared that the
Dvlendant, who lets out caravans and carts to hire, had sent
two of his caravans to Vali:hall to remove some goods, and
on their return in the evening, near Keunington-cross, they
encountered the wheel of a one-horse chaise drawn close up
to the side of the footpath, in which the plaintiff was silting.
' the gentleman who had been drivineer basing that moment
alighted to knock at the door oft friend's house. Ile heard

HARRINGTON V*PRV. 10
This was an action to recover the amount of goods d
delivered. It appeared in evidence that the goods i
lion' consisting of ship chandlery and sails, had been far-
niattell by the Plaintiff for the use and benefit of the brig
Elizabeth.
John We'sgerd, being sworn, deposed that be had give
order for the goods to Mr. Harritigton, and mentio
bins at the lime that his father was joint proprietor o
vessel with Mr. Fry. Ito bed Mien corresponded with
I try, bet had never sees him, and oonsequenUy could not
speak from any portliest knowledge as to his hand-writing.
Some letters were thewsiffered by Mr. Serjeaat Vatic/sub in
evidence, signed by Fry.
Mr. Serjeant Peat objected to the admissibility of the let-
ters, as there bad been no proof of Fry's persoual identity.
Such esiiimere would nut be admitted is eriminal cases, and
in civil actin., the rules of evidence were the same, although
perhaps there was more lazily in their application.
The Learned Julien overruled the objection.
Mr. Serjeant Pass thee said, if the Jury should decide
against his client, it was his determivation to tender a bill of
excepts. des.
The tette,* before alluded to were then read. The two
earliest letters admitted the ovrner.hip, but the last letter,
which was addreseed to the Plaintiffs attorney on the sub-
ject of the present action, positively denied any interest or
concern is the vessel.

The Learned bass told the Jury that the simple question'
for them to determine was this, whether or not the De-
fendant was a part-owner at the time the debt was contracted;
for Who was, et was his opinion he was liable to the debt.
With respect to the point °flaw, the Learned Counsel for the
Defendant knew their course; they might enter either a non-
suit, or tender a bill of exceptions.
The Jury returned a verdict fur the Plaintiff.
