rected, by his will. 20,0001. to be raised on hit frcr-
hold eststes. fur the purpose of discharging the vii-
cumbrances. The Plaintiff, who is nit English so-
licitor, and married to the sister of the Defendant,
wrote to him (the Defendant), offering his services
towards procuriog persons to lend the money, slid
said, should lie be unsuccessful. he would only
charge for the actual expenses he should be out of
pocket, by travelling. &c. In reply to this propo-
- the Defendant wrote him word, that his uncle,

will, and he, approved of his plan, turd would co-
operate with him in his exertions to raise the mo-

turned out to be so largely eneurniMrest, and liti-
gated. that he found it impossible to succeed in
raising the money, and consequently, after • stay
of Esc or six weak• in Dublin► he returned to
Bristol. The present action was brought to recto
ter rem•nerstion for his expenses in traselling. and
during his stay in this city. A. it would he int-
piorsible to prove every minute item of his ex-
penses, he thought it better to charge so much par
day. and he therefore claimed one pine* per
day. for 6hr-ovine days.
It was urged fur tie Defendant, who had paid into
Court a sum of 501.. with 9/. for costs, that it was
to suit his own coovenience, and upon his own ac.
count that the Plaintiff came over to Dublin ; he
having a charge of 2,000/. upon the property in
right of his wife. he wits sliminess for his own in.

Brigol, hr filed a bill for the purpose of levying
his 2,000/ off the r.tate. The Defendant lodged
50/. to Court, from a wish to avoid entering into
unpleasant litigation with his brother-in-law. hut
although the Jury was compelled by that circuits.
