LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY).

QUEEN'S BENCH.
BILLINGTON V. THOMAS.

Mr. Serjeant Wilkins moved a rule to show cause why
the verdict for the plaintiff in this case should not be set
aside, and a new trial had on the ground that the ver-
dict was perverse. The plaintiff was a tailor at Cam-
bridge, and the action was to recover between 401. and
501. for cloths supplied to an undergraduate. The de-
fendant pleaded minority, and the plaintiff replied that
the articles were necessaries. At the trial, a few days
ago, before Mr. Justice Erle in the Bail Court, the plain-
tiff stated he was aware that by the rules of the college
to which the defendant belonged, 121. per quarter
was the sum allowed for the clothes of the under-
graduates. He also stated that, up to the Septem-
ber previous to the action, the defendant owed
him and another person with whom he was in partner-
ship 401. Between that September and June the de-
fendant was supplied by another witness with 53 different
garments, while from January, 1850, to Juno, 1851, he
was furnished by the plaintiff's partner with no less
than 1164. worth of clothes. In four months the plaintiff
supplied him with four coats, seven pair of trowsere, and
seven waistcoats, and also with a masonic collar, to
enable him to attend a masonic ball, worth 10/. 10s.,
and this the jury found to be necessary.
Mr. Justice Erle—l told the jury that it seemed to
me absurd to say that such a jewel was necessary for an
infant.

Lord Campbell—l certainly concur in that opinion.
You may take a rule.
Dale nisi aecordingly.
