HARVEY V. HANSOM, GENT.

This was an action to recover the sum of 71. 2s. Gd.
for medicine supplied by the plaintiff, an apothecary, to
the defendant, an attorney. The plaintiff proved his ac-
count, that the bill was delivered early in 1828, and no
obj'•ction had been made to it, that he had called fifteen
times at the defendant's house, and three times at his
office, without having been able to see him.
Mr. PLATT, for the defendant contended that no benefit
had been proved to have accrued from the plaintiff's me-
dicine and attendance, and that M. would be a sufficient
sum for this bill.

Lord TENTERDEN, in summing up, remarked, that the
defendant had never before objected to the bill, and that his
. •

object was to reduce the verdict to 5/. in order to deprive
the plaintiff of his costs.

The Jury found for the plaintiff to the full amount.
Damages 71. 2s. 6d.

The Consol Market, which left off yesterday at 95
to 4, for the Account, opened at the same price this
morning ; and in consequence of the report of the change
of Ministry, which one of our evening contemporaries
yesterday announced as almost decided upon, the Consol
Market continues lowering. The opinion in the City is,
that all is not right with the present Administration, and
Consols are at present 95k, sellers, with a heavy market.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing. Greek Stock
maintains its price.
