NEWCASTLE ASSIZES, AUGUST 10.

CIVIL SIDE.
Before Mr. ✓rrlice B*YLET.

SPENCER S. AYTON, PARKER, ♦ND SANDERS.

Mr. WILLIAMS opened the ease.

Mr. SCARLIaT stated the circumstances to he
simply these:—There being a great demand for
granstirs in December 1818, the Defendants up-
plied to Mr. Thomas Spencer to let them his malt-
iug for the purpose of bolding corn. Mr. Parker,
one of the partners, pospected the premise,,
and they agreed to take it as tenants. In
consequence of their potting too great a weight of
omits iu the building it fell, sod much injury was
also done to some malt the Plaintiff had there ; and
this action was brought to recover a comperssition
iin damages for the injury he load thus sustained. It
could nut be successfully contended that the De-
fendants were igoorant of the state of the 'malting ;
for Mr. Parker had looked through the premises, sod
had thus sit opportunity of examining the props and
state of the lofts. It had sieve, bens- usual to put
in more than 13 or 16 lasts of corn into each loft;
but he should chew, that on the first slay of loading
the Defetalanto put its 17 lasts, sod when they were
told the Upper bit would nut Bold more, when they
had the liberty of occutintig the lower rooms, that
in fact it. was not sale to put more grain into the
tipper loft, the workmen said they had orders to
till it. No notice was taken of the intimations
gcren, and on the night of the 3d December, the
second day of loading, the mischief was done;
the building fell under the great pressure of corm
This was the statement giveu by the Plaintiff, and
the witnesses he adduced swore that the corn had
been heaped up in the upper loft to the height of
right or nine fest, when it ought not to have
exceeded three feet; that Mr. Spencer had given
timely notice, rad deposed to the value of the
Plaintiff's corn that was destroyed, and the damage
sustained by the falling of the building.
On the pelt of the Dsfeud.mis. Mr. Banonti•K
contended, that the Plaintiff must have known
what wits the state of the budding, as he had inti-
mated there was too much corn in the loft before
there was cut• crack or injury in the malting; with
that knowledge it was his duty to have acquainted
his clients, and the probability is, that they *mild
have apphed elsealwre. It was highly improbable,
be argued, that if the Defendants had known the
coodaton el the building they would hare become
its occupier., since they were themselves the great-
est ►ttfl• by the injury to their own coru, sod,
in his mind, the edam, ought to have been reversed,
the Defendants had more reason to seek tediePs at
the hands of the Plaintiff.
