LAfl" REPORT.

COURT o KING's BENCH, JULY 17.

'THOMAS HEDLEY AND OTHERS V. WM. WEEB.

The Plaintiffs-are assignees of Harry and Sonth-
mire, sugar-refiners ; the Defendant is a merchant.
This was an alien for money had and received, to
which (he Defendant had pleaded that he was not
liable. The amount of the sJemand was 416'1 l.
Mr. GARROW, for7the Plaintiffs, stated, that Harry
and Southmire had been assisted. in their money con-
cerns by the Defendant, who had also, contributed
his aid by personal attendance in the countinhouse
and sugar-market—inspeEting their books in theone,
and maldng their purchases in theother. The'sums
he advanced were not inconsiderable, .much exceed-
ing 20,0001. What was the return for all thiS kind-
ness and condescension from an optdent.merchant of
the City.* London ? The Jury would admit in a
moment that Harry and Southinire were nbt un-
grateful to theirbettefactor ; they gave him five per
cent. interest for his money., five per cent. more 'for
commission on all the sugar refined, and some dou,
ceurs besides, which he, in accommodation to the
warmth -of their sensibility, was
,sp good as to ac-
cept. The bankruptcy of these peiffsens was a natu.-
ral and necessary consequence ; 'and the Assignees,
Who had not the same feelings of affeCtion and re-
Veit for this money-lender, brought the preSent
adion to.recover the amount stated, for Various items
paid to the Defendant iince the aft of bankruptcy.

Atter, the Witnesses had . been called, and the
books of the Bankrupts produced, with several other
documents, .
Mr. DALLAS, for the Defendant, said, that the
only questions in the cause were, whether the debt
of the petitioning creditor were competent Under the
Statute ; and whether the assignment .to his client
were an act of bankruptcy ? With regard to both
these, he contended for the hegative.
On the first, his I.ordship,-on summing up, re..
cited the evidence to the Jury ;- and, on
.the other,
he gave it as his decided opinion, that the deed un-
der Which the. assignment was made was an as-of
bankruptcy,Verdia for the Plaintiffs, subjed to the
award of Mr. LOWTEN as to the amount..
