the paper by the Defendant Instil the Plaintiff de-
wooded his money ; but the fact was, that the sale
of The Sharman had pedlar, and test equal to whist
it was in 1809; but that eras sot a reason why the

of paper, and 1w would then, tiller the direction of
his Lordship, be entitled to the verdict of the Jury.
Joseph Pickering, foreman to the Plaintiff, de..
posed, that he culled WI the Defendant, en the
17th of July, lsal, and haring sheered him
some sampl.-s of paper, lie fixed on one, and
ordered id bundles, at 52 shillings per bundle ; he
saw hint the day following after the delivery, ou the
lath, sod asked him if Inc had opened the
bundles and examined the paper; he answered in
the utiiin dive, end said he was perfectly so.

On his cress examination, he said the Defendant
never complained of the piper until he had it in his
possession six or seven months. In the month of
May he (vie Witness) examined AO bundles of the
duper at the Drfendent's office, mud took oat friar
handles as unfit for use, and asked the Orgendant
to let them remain there until be seat for them; be
did this no accunt. of a boasting letter the Plaintiff
received from he Defendery. The Defenthialsand
the reason her had not used the Plaintiff's pepiw war,
that his wax embarrassed with Ntizner :lasi Picker-
ing, and if he used it then it would be the means of
their bringing in their hill, which he was not prepar-
ed to em.harge. - - -

Mr. ToPelqa, Cmm•el for the Defendant, v.1:1
that he wooli have wished his Lvarnect Friend(Alr.

Parke) had maned himself to the subjtlet eats,
of the action ; he ought to hove recolleved that we
Omani not prrss too mull on a fallen mut. If the
Defendant had heels obnoxious to the Law, it had
coosideged i. awl visited him accurt!inp,ly.. If his
imiirociions w. re correct, he wool.' contradict the
last Witaess by five person*. The Defendant wait
at all times ready to p.iy the Pl.mtiff if he of,tild
make i reduction for the paper that was not lit for
use,. which stiminted to 1501.
Win. Parrs deposed, that lie was in the servre of
the Defevidan• ; remembered the paper caning in
lily viol, Nome of it was good-4t w a wiled ;

'eat when the kat Witness was inspecting the paper.
On his rros,-examinstion he ssol, he did not

Jon.th Ity.ler, clerk to the Defendant, recollected
the ti,ne tit it the riper ca:!!r front the Defend int ;
it was a month after the delivery before it was exa-
mine ; d it was silk, tieing. unfit far iise. He
remembered the Pisi.ititr coining according to a

notice he received from the DriesTdatit. to ex imine
the paper. lie (!ne witness) would not way posi.
tirely. hot he believed the Plaintiff said, lay the
parer side. nod h. would send better in its place.
‘Vilos Pickering examined the paper, he, la:d at

might be allowed to lay there. 'lt was impars6le

it was in the present year the Plaintiff examined
the paper.
George Angus deposed, he was present when
Pickering examined 'the paper, mud he laid IS
bundles aside as objectionable, ■nd he maul they
would be sent fur by the Plrintiff.
Lord ELLSKSonsuati—.4 You are positive that
Pickering laid aside 19 bundles as unfit for use."

Id bundles aside."
Mr. PARKE—. With your Lordship's petunias.
*ion, I will call Pickering again."
Joseph Pickering was certain he only collated
four bundles that were objectionable.
Lord ELLIMSOROU3II—" You, Pickering say it
it was only four bundles that were laid aside : and
you, Angu., say, it was eighteen ; do you both per-
