The Plaintiffs brought this action to recover the
suiti of 17001. Iwisig. the amount of goods bought,
which were afterwards destroyed by the late fire at
Dover, before they were delivered to the soot
who purchased them. The Pluintiffa are eminent
druggists, residing in Fleet-street; and the Der
fendaios merchants and hankers, residing in Aostin-
Mae* Leielon. and keep a banking-house at Do-
ver ; and this stilt was brought to get back the
mos.ey, which, as bookers and Arius to the Danish
Commissioners, of whom the goods were bought.
and who are the real Drfendauts is this action,
they had received.
The chief point to be decided in this csuae was,
wheu goods ore sold at public auction,without any
printed condition of sale beim( given. se whore tisk
the goods are to be cousidrrarl, after the deposit is
paid, whether at the biter's or the seller's ?
It aperired, that the thineh hog, Young Henry.
ludeo with spirits of turpentine, was condemned us
a lawful prize by the Conlon-shiners for the dis-
posal of I)anisii property, and, iry their direction,
the cargo was put up to vale. Of this turpentine,
the Plamtifs, throe:4h the medium of a :Jr. Acres,
bought a large go:malty, amounting to the sum of
17001. which simi am, peal to the Defemlants, and
•shortly afterwaids, through the negla.4erwe of one
of the men alio attended in the warehouse, and
who incautiously w ent to fill the casks, with an un-
protected* candle. the whole ix the tits-Koine, to-.
ether with gunpowder, and other combustibles,
were destroyed, the war house blown ma end the
man narrowly escaped being killed. It was proved,
iu the course of the trial, that the auctioneer had
stated, that the casks coatainill the turaeritioe
Mere to %le tilled up, previous to their being de-
levered ; i was also proved, that in the very act of
tilling them th, accident occurred ; and that when
tea specific bate is mentioned is the conditions
of sale, rile roils grivenilly are considered as
~being et the risk of the seller for thirty days; or
that where that Is ?tot the ease, it is usual to give
notice to the buyer, in order that the goods stay he
by hint isotral. should he think fit.
The Counsel, on the part of the Plaintiffs, were
Messrs. Puller, Cancer, and Lawes ; or the De-
fendant's side, the Attorney and SoiteitoraGeneral.
On the part of the Defenclauts it was strongly con-
tended. that the goods because the buyer's. the in-
stant they wets knocked down to hint by the auc-
tioneer ; aad that consequently they were bound to
• sostaiii any Irate Or damage that miaht occur
throtigh inevitable accident, unless stipulations
were made an the articles of sale to the contras.... ; or
that it could be made manifest that the tire was
not accidenhil.
31t. GANNON'. on the other side, strongly con-
tendril, that it was the usual prat ticc, when
no
printed conditions were given, for the goods to re-
, main in the warehouse a certain time. at the risk of
the seller, arid called several witiversta. alio gate
their neeiit to this position ; but the strongest
point of all which was urged in favour of the
Plaintiffs, eta, that the auctioneer, at the time sif
sale, had expressly stated, that the casks (which
had leaked eolisidenibly in the passage) were to 14'
tilled out of the two last lot. isi the catalogue, before
they ware delivered to the buyers; that the two
last lots on dna very account were to be sold at a
price according to what qnairtity of turpeatine
might remain after the other lota had been filled ;
that his cheats had paid not only the deposit, hut
the whole of the purchase-money, and had seat
several letters to their Agent (Acres) expressing
their wish to have them forwarded to London
without delay. having actually sold port of them to
*wither hone, awl that it was in the identical act
of making the lots ready for delivery that the tire
happened ; soul it must of course be clearly un,l-r-
-stood, that the Plaintiffs could not have the ,moils
till they were made ready for delivery ; am!, there-
fore, as his clients were ready to take therm, lied
paid for them, and the tire had token platr before
the casks were tampered and tided ready for them
to ship to London, that the Jury meet clearly we
that the goods were at the seller's risk. lu short.
the tire had been nee:wailed through grow negli-
geuce; a landire had been made of property to a
large *meant ; anal the Defendants, or at leapt their
principals, cared not who were the sufferers, as that
they were indemnitied.
The JUMPS seemed to think it right that the
Plaiiitiffishoulsl have their money buck, as they had
received nothing in return, hut lie was not fully de-
cided as to the law otu the subject, whether Or not
the goods were beta fide the purchaser's, and at Isis
risk, the instant the deposit was paid; he therefore
thought, if the Jury found a verdict for the i'l -
ills, that that point trust be reserved fur further
consideration.
The Jury accordingly found a verdict for the
aat)jeet to the reserved poiat of law, for
the opinion of the twerve Judges.
11iir trial seemed to excite great interest in
the Court, and Mr. Gannow. isi e-asuining sane
of the witnesses. on the part of the Defendants, es-
cited the risibility of the whole Count, (Lonl
Elfess-
borough not except.-l) for a considerable time.
