ROUNDS.

1. Donnelly pot himself into Good altitude for hitting,
with the right shoulder level with the fist, in parallel with
the chin. He lel fly with the left hand away from distance,
which brought them to a chore, and Oliver received some
hits, but Donnelly disengaged himself by giving Isis adver-
sary a heavy fall. His superior strength was apparent, and
be was backed at 7to 4. _ _ _

2. Oliver hit the body with the left hand a la Rawdall,
but without the force, and Donnelly rushed in with much
determination; and here he skewed • want of science. There
was some hugging bitting iu the close, and Donnelly threw
again.
3. Donnelly missed his hit, and another close followed,
when Oliver had the best of the weaving system, and he
threw his adversary upon • balance on the lower ropes of the
rtug, ■rid Donnelly was undermost un the ground.
4. Oliver retreated to the ropes, where Donnelly 'hewed
fight, and knocked his head against the stake, and threw
him heavily. Both were bleeding.
5. Donnelly placed a left-handed blow upon the eye, and
it was returned by a sharp flush hit upon the mouth, which
d freely, and by way of compliment, Donnelly gave him a
crushing fall, and went down upon him.
6. Oliver began to shew want of condition, and he hit
short with the left hand upon the body, and received a smart
hit upon the head, with which he went down; but it was
nut considered by the umpires a knock clown blow.
7. Donnelly placed a hit upon the head with the left hand,
and again threw his man. Some dtir occurred between
the seconds as to the manner in which the men were clams-
feted un the ground, and Randall threatened to give Shelton
a lick on the head with the water-bottle.
8. Oliver had evidently suffered heavily from the falls,
and lie bled profusely. He was thrown agaiu.-7 to 4 on
Donnelly.
P. Donnelly placed • beery right-banded blow upon his
silt errtry'a aide, and the mark was visible. In a close Oliver
went dim.. from weakness
10. and 11. Oliver was thrown in both rounds, after
struggling closes, without any hitting of consequence.
12. Oliver broke his ground from weakness, and they were
alike dist d, and both were down, until the 16th round,
in each of which Donnelly's strength served him in the throws.
Oliver fought at worst until the 18th round, when he got
what to technically termed second wind, and led again, and
hi came she favourite at odds.

19. Oliver placed two hits, meeting his ail y upon
the rush, and Donnelly appeared much distressed, rind was
thrown. _

Mr. HEALD. Counsel for the Plaintiff, wee again
heard et great length.
The LORD CHANCELLOR desired that the letters
which had been read in the course of the argument
should be handed to him after they had been exa-
mined by the Solicitors on each side, and certified
by them that they were the identical letters
read. His Lordship then went into the history
of the case, which is already before the public.—
Ile was at present of opinion, that it would turn
out, on the true construction of the evidence, that
the Defendant did know of the priva►e marriage,
and that the Plaintiff did not ; therefore they were
not dealing on equal terns, and the Plaintiff was
entitled to relief. This was the impression on his
mind at present ; but before he gave his final
judgment, he would take home and read the letters
which had been given iu evidence, and would, as
110014 as it was in his power, communicate the result
of his cot»iderstion of the case.

Judgment postponed.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GUILDHALL, JULY 21.

Sittings after Term. before Chief Justice ABBOTT
and Special Juries.

MESSRS. MEYER V. MESSRS. SCHLENKER.

This was an action to recover compensation for
an alleged delivery of sugar, purchased by the
Plaintiffs from the Defendants, not according to
the contract. It arose out of the following circum-
stances. Towards the close of the year 1816 a Mr.
E. P. Louis, a merchant of Rotterdam, wrote over
to the Plaintiffs, in London, merchants, to buy on his
account a certain quantity of loaf sugar ; the Plain-
tiffs employed a Mr. Bushell, a broker, to make the
purchase, who contracted for ten hogsheads of single
loaves and ten of powdered, on the 21st December,
with the Defendants, who are sugar-bakers and re-
finer.. The sale was made by sample. The sugar
was packed by the Defendants, without being seen by
the Plaintiffs,and shipped in January, and arrived at
Rotterdam about the middle of February, 1817.
Immediately after Mr. Louis wrote to the Plain-
tiffs, complaining that the quality of the article was
not so good as it should be at the price. Sugar
had, in the mean time, experienced a fall in price,
and Messrs. Meyer, in order to ascertain whether the
complaints were well founded, or only made for the
purpose of avoiding a contract not likely to turn
out a gainful one, sent over Mr. Bushell to Rotter-
dam in May following to examine the article. Pre-
viously to his ►etting out, he acquainted the Defen-
dants with the reasons and object of his journey,
but they took 110 step in consequence. When ha
reached Rotterdam he found that the sugar had
been stoned in an excellent brick-built d►y
warehouse, forty feet above the ground. On
examining it he found the upper tiers very dry,
but they did not correspond in quality with the
samples which he had received at the purchase, and
who h lie had taken over with him. It was joie-
rior by four or five shillings a hundred. Besides
this, when he come to the bottom, he found the
single loaves in the lower tier, one hundred and
twenty-six in number, had been greatly damaged;
the sugar was blue, and the paper black, and
they appeared not to have been packed in a mer-
chantable condition; but as if they had been put
up wet, or in wet paper. There was no sign of
wet nn the outside of the casks. Afterwards one
loaf out of each damaged cask was sent over to the
Plaintiffs at their request ; and on being thus antis-
tiro! of the correctness of the rcresentatiolis made
to them, they agreed that Mr. Louis should hold
the sugar on their own account. They then appli-
ed to Nlessrs.Schlenker to make an allowance, both
on account of the inferiority of quality sod the
mispackage. A reference oldie case was agreed to
by both parties in June, but nothing having been
done towards it at the expiration of six mouths, it
was broken off by the Plaintiffs the 16th December,
1817; and au action commenced in the Hilary
Term following. The subject of the present action
was the hundred and twenty-six single loaves—the
rest being that of a separate one.
Samuel Robinson, clerk to the Plaintiff., proved,
that when he was sent with the order of delivery to
the Defendant's warehouse on the ►ath January, he
could not make bis way into it. the water being
knee deep in the street; and that when the hogs-
heads were Petit from the Defendants to Galley-
quay, they were.put in a dry warehouse there, and
kept two stories above the ground till they were
shipped. Witness put fresl► uutubers ou the loaves,
and marked them E. P. L.

Mr. Bushell deberibrd his purchase of the sugar,
and the tire lances of his inspection of it at
Itotterduni, as shove related.

The owner of the warehouse at the Galley-quay
was called, but did riot appear, and his clerk could
say nothing but that the warehouse was not subject
to being flooded.
J. Joshua Foster, a lighterman, stated, that he
conveyed the loaves of sugar, marked E. P. L.
from the Galley-quay on board the ship June ; the
ca►ks were perfectly dry, having been placed in the
lighter on the lop of other goods.
The deposition of James Sinclair, a seamen on
board the Jane, was then pot in and read, stating
that nu part of the cargo had received any damage
or injury during the voyage, butt that it was all de-
livered in a good state at Rotterdam, sod that the
auger iu question was lodged in a brick-built ware-
house in a perfectly dry and secure place.
The deposition of E. P. Louis was also read,
setting forth .as in the last, and that 00 the ten
hogsheads in the bottom tier having been uu-

*eked, in the presence of Mr. tushell. in
they appeared to have been very long packed. and
'malt for any thing except to he refined, or manu-
factured again; that the Plaintiffs, after being
made acquatiord with those drisirvd to have one boat
out of each hozahead shipred to them, to see it
themselves. which having h-en done, they acceded
to Deponent's request, that the sugar should re-
lambi with hian on their own account.
A third deposition of W. Frederick Metz, ware-
houseman to Mr. Louis. corroborative of the se-
cond, was read.
Charles Anthems said; that being arqoaintrd
with the value of sugars. and having ran 1111 l ter! the
sample given Mr. Bushell by Drfeardant., and rile
sample sent from RAterdallll. he was of °whim,
that the roomer would bring five 'drillings a hundred
noire than the latter. Ile knew the situation of
Defendants• warehou►e, and the filhug•roour of it
was subject to be overflowed with water ; it is on
the ground floar.
Mr. SCA kLETT, Defendants: Counsel, relied very

much on the circumstance that the only Unto', coin.
plaited of in the original declaration was, the differ-
ence between the samples and the articles ~it
abroad ; the count relative to the inispoickage Ii uc.
ing been introduced only since the cod of last Term.
Fle argued that the alleged difference was to lie
accounted for not by any unfair dealing by the
Defendants, but from the dryness and fineness pro.
(laced in a small pace of sugar, by being kept fur
length of time in a drawer, and having all it 4
surfaces exposed to the air. With respect to the
charge of the sugar being wet when packed, lie
should produce the Custom.hou.e officer, the
searcher who examined it on board the vessel, pur-
suant to Act of Parliament, as it was an article
entitled to a considerable drawback, and who
would describe it as having been then perfectly dry
and sound. As to the mispackage, lie should call
witnesses to prove that the casks came to the De-
foulards' warehouse quite dry, and that the sugar
was packed in a completely sound stale, and sent
away that very day.
Alicbael Kingaland was then examined ; was in

the employ of Messrs. Gro. rod Jacob Schlenker in
Janusty 1817, as a sugar-manufacturer; recollects
the ten hogsheads of single loaves sent to the Galley-
quay, in that month, on account of Messrs. Meyer;
they were properly manufactured and baked ; as-
sisted in packing them; they were packed the same
day they went otf ; as far us he knew, the casks had
come ill that morning; the straw put about dull)
was dry ; the casks did not at any time stand in
water; they were perfrctly dry when they left the
warehouse ; the paper war not stained nor the sugar
discoloured.

Cross-e.ramined.--They often have the water in

the street ; now and then it gets into the ware-
house, but never into the place where the sugar is
kept. It had remained five or six days in the store.
John Wilder, another servant of the Defendants,
was called, but did not appear, having gone abroad.
Christian Wilder, boiler to Messrs. Schlenker,
was called; but it appearing that he had a share
in the prelits of the house, he was not examined.
Michael Davis Cooper supplied Messrs. Schlen-
ker with 10 casks on the 14th or 16th January ;
they were all packed that day; witness headed
them ; saw them carted away the same day; there
was 110 wet in the room where they were packed,
nor was the straw used wet.

G. Croft, a carman, carried some hogsheads of
sugar front Messrs. Schelenkers' warehouse to
Galley quay, in January, 1817. Hr conveyed
five, mud Ins comrade. T. Hoddell, followed with
five more the same day.

T. lloddell corrobOrated the last statement.

Mr. Scudder, the master carrier. said, it appear-
ed from his books that ten hogsheads hail been con-
veyed on the 16th January, and ten more on the

pith.

John Crossley, the Custom-house searcher, ex-
amined one of the hugheads shipped, to ascertain if
Mr. Meyer was entitled to the bounty ; it was pro-
perly relined and of good quality.
From his cross-examination it appeared, that the
cask examined was not ammig those that formed
the subject of the present action.
Henry Tiollup, a sugar-maker, said, that if a
sample were taken from sugar in winter, and the
bulk sent to Holland, in the May following the
former would not appear to be of the same quality
with the other. The sample would he likely to im-
prove and look whiter by bring exposed to the air,
but the change only regarded the colour and not the
quality.
Mr. Robinson, a sugar-refiner, gave similar testi-
mony, but in his cross-examination said, that
samples of stronger or double-refined 'agars would
improve by being kept, but that inferior ones could
deteriorate.
The CHIRP JUSTICB observed in his charge, that
the case was one of general importance, inasmuch
as its decision might go to affect the codidetice
reposed in English merchants abroad, which
would probably be shaken. if goods *eta to the
foreign market were found nut to correspond in
quality with the ►amples of them exhibited,
The Jury, in a few minutes, returned a verdict
for the Plaintiffs, damages 112/. 56. at the rate of
ss. a hundred our 9 cwt.
