Cuu.u, a inercloint,at St. licleva, 1211. for goods sold and
11111111 Cy received for his use. The defendant pleaded, lust,
that he aas but liable, and, secondly, the statute of
Iliudtation. The last Me.. he should dispose of by proving
an application within the last six 'ears, and as to his lia-
bility, the following were the clrcuutxtauces out of which
it arose :-111 lii 1O the plaintiff delivered to the defendant,
ern his touching at St. Helena, several different sorts of
goods to be sold. Amongst them were 121 bolts of Bengal
canvas, which Air. Raleondt was was to sell at St. Helena
if he could get 41. lOs. per bolt fur it; if it would not
fetch that price, it was to be sent to Mr. Antyott, the
plaintiff's agent at the Cape of Good Hope, and to be
represented as Portuguese goods, to avoid the objection
to them as India goods at the Cape. lit 1510, when the
plaintiff again touched at the Gape, Mr. lialeulin deli-
Nered hint au account of tij bolts sold on the island, and
staled that the other 40 had been befit to Rio Jancutu, and
bold there tu a pet sou named Hall, on whom in England
the defendant gave plaintiff au order to receive the pro-
duce, 1211. is. hut. Pl. took the order, butt could
sieves find Mr. Hall, and now sought payment of the
defendant, on the grounds of his having disposed of the
goods to Hall contrary to his instructions, which were, to
send them to Mr. Amyott at the Cape.
Mr. Marryittl, for the defendant, contended, that his
client was nisei 'acted to send the goods to the Cape by
way of Rio; in no other way could they have had the ap-
rcerauce 01 Portuguese goods given to them; and Wallet
lie contended, that the present turn, of action for money
had and reel IVI.II, and fur not accounting fur the goods,
could nut be i.upported. No money had been received,
and the defendant had accounted fin the manner in which
they had been dispostd
The Chief Justice said, if there had been a collusion to
represent tlivst goods as Portuguese, to evade the Navi-
gation Act, neither party could sustain an action. it
Wei e was no such collusion, he was still of opinion this
was not the molter form of action; it should have been
au action of novel. He should turnstile the plaintiff,
giving hint leave to move to set aside that utinsuit, and
have a verdict entered for the amount of his demand.-
