Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW stated, that this was an
action brought by Mr. Ravenacroft, an eminent
dresser of Barristers' wigs, against Mr. Archbold,
• gentleman of the bar, for • aeries of dressings for
his professional wig, during a course of years. The
Jury might not know that the custom of the bar
was to leave their wigs in Westminster-hall and
Guildhall, and it was the business of Mr. Ravens.
croft, who lived in Sae-street, to send for these
wigs three times • week and dress them, the rate
of payment being about three-pewee-halfpenny each
dressing, no unreasonable charge when the trouble
of sending so often in the week was conodered.
The account was permitted to run on from 1811 to
1841.
For the Defendant it was contended by Mr. Ser.
joint TADDY, that the Plaintiff had not dressed the
wig for the time se.cified in his account, the owner
having bees abroad during a considerable part of
the time charged for, and also that 3/.94. of the ac-
count, is due at all, was due to the assignees of the
Plaintiff, who had been a bankrupt its the early
port of the time. The Learned Serjeant denied
that the uniform practice was for a barrister to have
Isis wig dressed three times • week; that must de-
' peed not only upon the taste of the owner, but
also upon his business; for the Jury very well
knew that many gentlemen, particularly in the be-
ginning of their practice, had not that frequent ne-
cessity of using their wigs in Court, which they af-
terwards acquired, and therefore avoided incurring
what was to them a useless expense. It was true
that Mr. Serjeant Ooslow had his wig dressed every
day, and no doubt Mr. Ravenscroft had, sin the
present day, put his wig into excellent condition,
worthy of the man and the hair-dr .—(A laugh.)
—Re (Mr. Serjeant 'faddy) was always glad to see
his Learned Brother id excellent condition, even to
the wig, and be knew that both in life and in death
' he was sure of the enjoyment of that ornament, for
he bad seen the statues of his ancestors in Guildford
Church-yard, with capital perukes—
• Welt buckled ea in Pariaa dame," •
and he trusted that his brother in Court would (but
he hoped at • very distant period) shine among his
ancestors the rival of one of them, the celebrated
Speaker Onslow, in full marble wig of the statuary.
Shuter, the solicitor, was called to prove the
commission of bankruptcy against the Plaintiff in
1817 ; but Mills cross-elimination he said, that at
the time a number of barristers were indebted to
Mr. Ratenscroft, who, to prevent their bring sued,
as was threatened by the assignees, paid the
amount himself rather than risk the loss of his em-
ployer's business.
The Loan Crater Junto' expressed his pain-
ful regret that a gentleman, known, as the Defend-
ant was, to be the author of several learned and
ingenious works, often praised by the bench, should
he exposed to such an action as the present. The
Jury, however, had but one duty to discharge,
which was to abide by the justice of the case, and
find for the Plaintiff.
The Jury immediately found for the Plaintiff for
the whole amount of his bill, 131. 10s.
