TOPPI-EWELL V. !MERINO.
This was an at:inn brought by the plaintiff, who is the Captain
of a West hip, against the defendant, who is a Lieutenant
of his Majesty's slrp Semis. for M. the amount of a balance of
WI. which the defendant was to pay for his board and passage
on board the plaintiff's vessel, as a paasenger from Jentatu to
London.
The defence was, that the defendant had only agreed to pay M.
including board and passage.
Several witnesses were called, Captains of West India ships, to
prove that the genaral term. tut the passage was bOl., exclusive of
wine.
On the other head, the defendant called Lieutenant Sullivan,
who proved the positive contract tntered into bT the plaintiff,
on board the Scrap:a, to carry the defendant to Lnglard for 201.
including board.
On this evidence the Jury found a verdict for the defendant.

SHOEBEIIT v. WILLIAMS.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover compensa-
tion in damages, for the loss he had suffered by a breach of con.
tract on the part of the defendant. The facts of the ease were
shortly these :—The I.:aintiff being indebted to a person of the
name of Beard in considerable sums of money, gave up to a Mr.
Still, a friend. a quantity of effects, among which was a picture,
said to be by Claude : this picture Mr. Still, the plaintiff's friend,
gave into the hands of the defendant, an auctioneer, of the Auction
Mart, for the purpose of being put up to sale in one of his
auctions, with the express proviso that Mr. Still was to have notice
of the sale. This was in May, 1843. The day of sale came on,
but the defendant gar,:. no notice. The plaintiff's friend had In
consequence no cpport,mity or seeing that it was fairly sold, or to
whom.
The defendant called s gentlemal of the name of Chalmers, who
bought a picture, sup;msed to be the one in question, but his evi-
dence directly refuted the assertion advanced by the defendant,
that he was the purchaser, and no identity was proved. The pictures
Mr. Chalmers bought on that day, to the number of fifty, were at
present in Scotland, which, with the uncertain description given of it,
precluded the possibility of its being produced ; and even if the pic-
ture in Mr. C. 's hands was the one in question, the defendant had
still bri ke hi• contract with regard to the notice, and according to
his own rhowing bad not introduced the picture into the auction
room till the day of sale, which had not gives it so fair a chance
as those that had been viewed oa the preceding day. The picture
asserted to be the ohe in gelation, lord to Mr. Chalmers, only pro.
duced seven guineias, whereas that belonging to the plaintiff was
valued at sixty pounds.
Tne question for the consideration of the Jnry was, whether the
defendant had in fact at all sold the plaintiff's picture, and if he
had, whether he was cot liable for the loss sustained by his breach
of contract, in rot giving notice? Upon *onside:at:on of these
facts, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintif.'—Dart.ages fifty
guineas, subject however to a deduction of sevea guineas, which
had been paid into Court.
