Mr. Nikon ordered and paid for the p. ioting-press and typos
in question, and they were deposited in Pall-mall-couit.—
kterw irda a person named llathwey set up a paper called
The Observer of the Times, of which Mr. Scott bi.catne the
editor and printer. Tha Jury were aware that the daily
11 •1% 'paper called The Times bad a very extensive circalatiun •
and therefore the proprietors of several ether papers had
imitated its title in the hope of sharing in its suecess.-
-This was the ease of the paper in question whiclt Mr. Scott
enoged to print and edit, aid to enable hint to perform the
printing, be removed the types of Mr. Nixon from Pall
Mall Court to Catherine•strect, where the Warmer of the
Tiara was conducted. This, however, was not all ; for he
caused an exerntion against himself to be levied on these
effects ; and then, when they wereput np to sale by
auction. effered to become their purchaser. Notice was given
to the ti!serilii not to sell ; but they persevered and sold the
property ; and had thus made themselves liable to the present
action.
To support this case on behalf of the plaintiff, evidence was
given tp show that the types and printinglwess were ordered and
paid for by Mr. Nixon. Mr. Ilettrway stated that be engaged
MS:Soott to print and edit the als.erver of the Times at a veiny
elf Ifikahreek, but never heard the name of Nixon till after-
a. The ullicer who took the property in execution obtained
rfilmittance in consequence of a servant of Mr. Scott coming
and asking some question, which gave him the opportunity to
enter. The seinioit, and the offers of Mr. Scott to purchase of
the auctioneer, witte also proved.
Mr. Gummy, ;Or the defendant, expressed his confidence that
lie loeld be able to altos that the property was partner•
shiptroperty, and therefore rightly taken by the Sheriff; and
that, even gtving credit to Mr. Nixon's share in it, he au in-
debted to Mr. Scott in upwards of 11.11/L To establish this cue
•Ile called Mr. Scott.
wee objected to the retnpeteucy of Mr. Scott, that by es-
tablishing the validity of the execution he would discharge
himself from the debt due to the original plaintiffs ; but a re-
lease from theta was produced, which rendered him a competent
witness. Ile mated that the property was part of a premium
of 51.11.t0 be advanced by Mr. Nixon, and belonged to the
partnership.. The original debt was due to the landlord of the
premises where the bushier/ was carried on in Pall-msli-court,
which he possessed before the commencement of the partner-
ship, and continued to possess now. Ile never sent any one to
point out the goods to the Sheriff, nor was there any collusion
between himself and the plaintiff in the action. Mr. Nixonn
was now indebted to him more than 1991.: be bad • share in
the profit of printing, though not of editing the Oiserver of the

O cross-examination he denied thht he ever said to Mr.
Milkr that tha press and types were Nissan's separate propene.
Henry Reynolds, the articled clerk of the last witness, stated
the types were iutersningled with partnership property.
The Lord Chief Justice left the Jury to say whether they
believed Mr. Scott's statement, or that of the other witnesses,
under which direction they found a verdict for the plaintiff--
