COURT OF KING'S BENCH, SAtosnAv, JANUARY 19.

BARTON AND OTHERS V. WILLIAMS AND OTHERS.
This was an action of trover to recover from the
Defendants the value of certain East India warrants
for the delivery of a quantity of cottosi, and cer-
tain quantities of cotton mentioned in the declara-
tion. At the hid before the Lord Chief Justice
at the adjourned sittings in London, sifter kat
Elmer Term, a verdict was found for the Plaintiff,
damages 7,3871., subject to the opioiou of the
Court upon a special case.
In the early part of 1818, a person named Moon,
who then carried on business at Manchester as a
cotton-merchant, under the firm of John Moon and
Son, haying agreed with the Plaintiffs, alto are also
cotton-merchants at• Manchester, to purchase a
quantity of cotton jointly, gave directions to his
brokers, Messrs. Hunt and Sharpe, of London, to
purchase at the East India Company's Pales, cot-
toss to a considerable amount, on the account of
Moon. Messrs. Hunt and Sharpe accordingly pur.
chased, at several sales between the months of Ja-
nuary and June in that year, a large quantity of
cotton, to the amount of about 20.0004, and ob•
tained orders for the delivery of it, commonly called
East liidia warrants, which were made out in the
came of Huut as the broker employed at the sale,
and left in the possession of Hunt and Sharpe, as the
brokers of Moon. The Plaintiff., immediately af-
ter the purchase, paid Moon half the value of the
cottons. Hunt and Sharpe knew that Moon was oc-
casionally in the habit of making purchases on their
joint account, but at the time of making the pure
chases in questiou they had no knowledge that
the Plaintifiis were in any way concerned. In Au•
gust, when half the purchases were completed,
they were apprised that the Plaintiffs had some in-
terest in the purchases iu question. It was subse-
quently agreed between the Plaintiffs and Moon,
that the cottons should be divided, and accordingly
directions were given, by the Plaintiffs and Moon
respectively, to Hunt and Sharpe to make such di-
vision. In compliance with these directions, Huot
and Sharpe proceeded to make the division, by epee
cifying in different columns the warrants which were
respectively appropriated to the Plaintiff. and Moon ;
and on the 20th of February, 1819, they commu-
nicated such division to both parties, and received
their approbation of and assent thereto. About
the latter end of November, 1818, Hunt and
Sharpe received directions from Moon to procure
him a loan of from twenty to twenty-five thousand
pounds, on the security of the East India *errant.,
then in their possession. Hunt and Sharpe accord-
ingly informed the Defendants of Moon's request,
and applied to them to discount the accept.
ances of them (Hunt. and Sharpe) on bills drawn
by Moon upon Haut and Sharpe, on the security of
the whole of the warrants, which the Defendants
agreed to do ; and, accordingly, eight bill., payable
three months alter date, were so drawn and accepted,
all of which were duly paid at maturity. These
bill., which amounted to 20,2721. were discounted
by the Defendants at the beginning of Decem-
ber, 1818, and at the time of receiving the
money from the Defeudants, the whole of the
warrants were deposited with them by Hunt sod
Sharpe. by way of security for the payment of
the bills. On the 23d of February, lain, Hunt
and Sharpe received from Moon the following di-
rections, contained in a letter:—" -Half of the
amount from Williams's is all I would wish, or
even nothing, if you can force off every bale of
cotton. If half could be done by Messrs. %Vit.
Siam, and Co.. Mr. R.'s warrant, might remain."
In consequence of this, an application was made
by Hunt and Sharpe to the Defendants, to rerew
10,000 L of the amount of the original bills, which
the Defendants agreed to do, by discounting other
bills similar to the former, on the security of the
warrants, to cover then; to that amount, being left .
with them, as a security for such renewal. Hoot
and Sharpe did not at any time previous to such
renewal*, communicate to the Defendants that
any alteration's had taken place in the e io-
perty, or that the Plaintiffs had any concern io it.
On the 2d of March, Sharpe, for the firm of Fleet
and Sharpe, received the *armies from the De-
fendants, for the express purpose of dividing thews
o as to take 10,000/. worth of them away, stud to'
returtt the other 10,0001. worth to the Defeedante,,.
to remain with them as security for the renewed
bills, and took them to his counting-house, for thse•
purpose of makieg such separation ; sod haviiiit
done so, returned to the Defendants the warresiteL
belonging to the Plaintiffs, and retained those
which had been appropriated to Moon, awl in ses
doing, acted by the directions of Moon, without
any cumniunicetion with, or privity from the Plain-
tiff.. The Defendants discounted four bills drawls
and accepted as utrove-inentioned, amounting to
10.121/. which were dishonoured when they lie-
' came due. The Defendants subsequently sold
the cottons in question for 74871. and the slues:
Lion was, whether the Plaintiffs were entitled to
.maintain this action of trover &gaunt the De-
fendants.
Mr. F. Postmen, for the Plaintiffs, contended
that the goods being pledged to the Defendatos by
Hunt and Sharpe. without the Plaintiffs' presny,
this was clearly a case iu which trover might be
maintained.
Mr. TINDALE, on the other band, admitted the
