•HAT' V. ROBVRTS AIM HORNE.

This case, which does not posttest, the vliglitetit
degree of interest, public or private, nt•cnpied the
attention of the Court from half-past JJ Iss e in the
morning, until half-pest eight at night. It was an
actiuu brought by the Plaintiff, as endorsee of two
hill, of exchange, drawn by a person of the name
of Brown, on " Roberts end Compuroy." and ac-
cepted by Roberts—the firs, bearing date, October
20, ISM for payable at two months; the
second, for MI/. bearing date, the 10th of De-
cember, 1812, and payable also in two months.—
The defence of Brown wail, that, since the bills
were drawn, he had become bankrupt, and hail pro-
cured his certificate. On the part of florne, it was
pleaded, that, when the hills were drawn be was
•wt in partnership with Roberts, and was nut there-
fore liable. _

The certificate of Roberts of course did away
with his liability. A vast body of evidence was
then called to prove that Mr. Hanle was in part-
tiership with Roberts. earying on the business of a
stage master. up to Janiiny, 1813. The witnesses
all deposed, that, till after January. 1813, they be-
lirved, and never had reason to suspect the contrary,
that Roberts and throe were in partnership. Some
of them had *reit the Defendant. Mime, ut the
White Ilart, Fetter-13ov, where the Inssitiess was
carried on loug after Dec. 1812, and coosidered
bum as an acting partner—mill others of i hem stated,
that the vouches which tile Defendants ran, were
iuscrilictl with the SlNllirflof Roberts and Dome. at
so late is pelind as Jaiimire,
On the part of the Defendants, s host of witnesses
were called, who deposed, that the Defendants en-
tered into partnership in December, 1811. but that
it was dissolved by mutual consent, in July. 1812.
The dissolution deed was put evidence was
also given, that the present Plaintiff hurl absolutely
proved tl:e debt. in discharge of which these two
hills were given, under the commission sued out
against Roberts, mid received the dividend. At
that time, he did nut even Mot that any person but
Roberts was liable.
The CHIEF JUSTICE recapitulated the evidence
at Iviigth. The questions fur the Jury to decide
were—first, whether a real, rod not is colourable
dissolution of the partneialtip had Takeo place ?
and neat, euppositig the dissolution to be bona fide.
whether the Plaintiff was made acquainted with it ?
For, if he were must cognizant of the fact of the
partnership being dissolved, and proceeded to deal
with our of the individuals, under the supposition
that he was acting fur the firm, be was entitled to
recover.

At half-past seven o'clock the Jury retired—and,
after an hour's consultation, returned a verdict Inr
the. Defendant, Roberts. as a certificated Insult-
rupt--but, with respect to Horne, they found that
he was indebted to the Plaintiff in the amount of
the two bills of sichange, and the interest accruing
thereon.

James Hainaut!, the fireinaii, corroborated, the
testimony of the last witness, and stated, that he
told the Defendant a short tune back, if he would
pity the low expenses incurred—etieneilling above
nine pounds—he would forgive him:
In his erns,.-examination lie admitted, th it an-

The CHAIRMAN, in Its eloirv,e, olwerved that
that part of the duty of a Lett Jury, which
consisted in the examination of false weights
and measures, was highly useful In society,
both in preventing the diehonest from practising
fraud, end in guarding the interests of the fair
dealer. Every protection, therefore. which the law
could afford ought to be given to the Jury, as long
as they exercised the trust reposed in them prudently
and mildly. If the Jury gave credit to the evi-
dence, they ought to find the Prisoner guilty.
