This was an action brought to recover a reward
.1201. It appeased that a person of the name of
I.hlldsoll had lost a horse ; supposing him to be
stolen, he advertised, offering a reward of CIUI. for
the horse anti apprtheusion of the thief. The
Plaintiff was* police-Officer, who apprehended the
thief—recovered the horse—and delivered hint to
the Defewliwt, who was described in the advertise-
ment as the person to make nitrification to. On
this Defendant's being called upon for the reward,
he iefaised to pay it.
Mr: PAIKC. Counsel for the Defendant, con-
tended, that he was only the livery-stable keeper.
and had not any interest in the horse, and gave no
directions for the advertisement, and his name was
.only made use of on account of the notoriety or his
)1 taCAys, and that the Plaintiff could have no cause
of action against him. He ought to have brought
his action atTuinst Davidson, the owner of the
horse, and the person who authorised the adver-
tisement.
The Jury found a verdict, under the direction of
the Court, for the Defendant.
