This was an action of assiimpsit, for work and la-

Mr, Serjeant C::CKELL, for the Plaintiff, called
three witnesses, two persons who had been in the
Plaintiff's service at the little, and a sin k-eyor. Tneir
testimony went to she °, that Williamson, the De-
fendant, Akas present at • the .coinine:xemeni of tie
work, and had given directions which would amount
in law to an implied undertaking.—The labourers
stated,.tliat, at ti.e fiking 'of t4e first- post, liquor had
been called for, Wdliamson being present, and
that theyhad drduk success to_the Defendant's brew-
house Of tap-roam, they did not recollect which.
Mr. Serjeant BEST, for theDefelidant, called this
an impudent and :scandalous action. The real credi-
tor, to whom the Plaintiff at first looked for pay-
ment, was one Pew, ho bad. attempted to lot in
one of the Joint-stock Companies, of Which so much
had been heard previous to a late decision in the
Court of ..piing's Bench. Pew 'being—insolvent, the
Plaintiff lad turned round upon the Defendant, who
he.kncw had never become a subscriber to-this pro-
jeeled brewery, . and only esicouraged it in the hopes-
of having the tap when the work was finished, and'
in We mean time of selling beer to the labourers.
He then called a Mr. Smith, the tenant of the •
grotAnd, on which the building was to be ere&ed,
ho deposed, that 'he heard the Plaintiff say, that
he loused to Mr. Pew fur payment, and allr.Twy-
d.,l, a rartner of the Plaintiff at the time, who
proved stLit they had always considered Mr. Pew
alone as liable, abet therefbre on the settlement of
their accounts held this as a bad debt.—Plaiutiff
