LA W INTELLIGENCE.—Dec. 8.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Sittings at Guildhall before Mr. Justice Crowder and a
Counnuo Jury.)
CARTER AND ANOTHER V. IGENOU AND ANOTHER.

This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, engineers,
to recover of the defendants, distillers of Jersey, the stun
of 3491. He. 31. The first count of the declaration
stated the action to be on contract, and the second f,r
work and labour done. The learned counsel fur the
plaintiffs in the course of the trial abandoned the first
count and went to the jury on the second. It
appeared from the evidence that the plaintiffs were
employed by the defendants to construct a 24
horse power boiler, with a• 0 horse power engine,
capable of dis.iliiog forty gallons of spirits per hour.
After wards it was arranged, for the cAlvenience of
chipping, that two boilers of 12-horse power each should
be supplied. The boilers and engine were made, shipped,
and erected, and were found capable of distilling forty-
four gallons of spirits per hour. Some payments were
snade by the defendants to the plaintiffs under protest,
and a letter was said to have been written by the de-
fendants, but not acknowledged to be received by
the plaintiffs, repudiating the acceptance of the
boilers and engine. There was a cross action, and the
questions for the jury were, whether, although the con-
tract might have been strictly fulfi'led by the plaintiffs,
the defendants accepted and used the articles as their
own, not having properly repudiated them; and whether,
if that were the case, what was the amount the plain'Affs
were entitled to receive ? The plaintiffs stated the articles
to be worth 68/., and the defendants valued them at
4001.

The jury retired, and, after a short consultation, re-
,urned a verdict for the plalotiffs for 3491. lls. 3d.
