CARTER v. BARTON.

This was an anion to recover a sum of money for
apartments occupied by the Defendant, in the house
of the Plaintiff ; also for a time-keeper, which had
been sold to Mr.. Barton, for two guineas and a
half.
It appeared that the Del... meant lived in the coun-
try, where he requested a Miss Watson, the sister
of a young lady he was going to marry, to trite a
letter to the Plaintiff, for the purp.)se of taring
front apartment in his house, upon the terms of
keeping a lodging for two months certain, and pay-
ing one guinea a week ; this arrangement being
made, on the 22d of September, Mr. Barton came
to town, with the young lady whom he had mar-
ried. On arriving at the house of Mr. Carter, he
found the front apartment that Miss Watson find
taken, in the possession of an ehierly gentleman,
who would not immediately suit it. Mr. Barton,
on finding himself put to such inconveniency, oa-
served to the Plaintiff, that he had c,mne to to" m
with his bride, in full expeaation of finding the
rooms he had taken in readiness to receive him, he,
therefore, thought he was very ill rased ; the liaintif
raid, he was extremely sorry it had so happened,
but for the present MT. Barton, and his wife, might
have the back room on the first floor, with he gar-
ret, as in a few days the old gentleman would leave
the front room, and ail would he made conveniesi..
This proposal was accepted ; the new married coupe
slept in the back %pat-me-14 and Miss Watson (the
sister of the bride) slept with Sally the servant, in
the garret. The morning following, the company
complained that the rooms in which they had bean
placed were intolerably dirty, and that they Colf:1
ti,td no rest during the night. The Defendant 'l—
for three weeks in the back room, in cape:-
talon of the old gentleman's leaving the front
apartments; at the end of that time his patien-e
was exhausted, and he resolved to leave the hoes a.
The Plaintiff then made a demand of the terms
stipulated for in the first engagement ; Mr. Barton
refuse) to pay after that rate, as he had never bet-n
in the loe7ing which he was originally to have
taken, oaring a stun which he conceived a suffi-
cient ccmpensatiou fur the rooms he had occapicd.
A time keeper—which Mr. Bartod had purchased,
also became a subje& of dispute; theDefendaszt was
to have paid two guineas and a half for it, but after
having had it in his possession for a short time, Iv
found it would not go, therefore returned it to the
Plaintiff.
, Lord F.t.trarsottoticar, after summing up the evi-
dence, observed to the-Jury, that the Defendant had
tendered the money into Court which he had ori-
ginally offered to the Plaintiff: the question, the-c-
-love, for them to consider was, whether such ite,-
ney amounted to a just. payment for the lodgings he
had occupied, or if the Plaintiff was entitled to a
greater demand upon the first engagement ? It .did
not appear that the apartments originally stipulated
for had ever been in the Defendant's possession, on
the contrary, he had been put to much inconveni-
ence by being kept out of them ; the Jury would
consequently see, that the terms stated in the di=
ogreernent had nothing to do with the present, they
wool.' therefore decide as their opinion should dio-

true.
Thy Jury found a yenta For the Wend fut.
