LAW-THIS DAY.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS AND THE ARMY-IMPORTANT
DECISION-BELLEVILLE V WARNER.

This was an action for certain goods supplied to the de-
fendant, and for certain boxes and bags alleged to be
detained.

Plaintiff deposed to having received an order from de-
fendant for some oil bottles, and to having delivered the
same as per contract.

Defendant said that he had taken a large Government
contract for oil bottles, and a certain sample was sent out
by the authorities. This sample was handed to the plain-
tiff, who had not, however, strictly followed it out. Defen-
dant would prove to his Honour that the plaintiff's bottle
was not according to the sample, and for that reason the
Government inspector turned a lot of the bottles out.
Two bottles, apparently made of zinc, with brass stoppers,
were then handed up to his Honour, who said, " What are
these bottles used for ?"

Defendant—For the soldiers. They contain the of
which a soldier may require.

His Honour—l cannot see much difference in the bottles
produced.

Defendant—The Government sample is rather larger
than pliiintiff's bottle.

His Honour—Well, but plaintiff's bottle seems very wel
made.

Defendant—Yes, but it was rejected. The pockets are
made just the size of the bottle.

His Honour—So far as I can judge, the plaintiff's bottle
is the better of the two, but as the Government inspector
has rejected it, and as it does not appear to be quite like
the sample, plaintiff cannot recover. Defendant must,
however, return the packages, and the case will stand till
May 17, to enable him to do so.
