LA TV INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
BERNAEDY V. HARDING.

Mr. Hogging applied to the court for a rule to show
cause why the verdict in this case should not be en-
tered for the plaintiff. On the occasion of the Duke of
Wellington's funeral, the defendant hired the colonnade
of the Opera to let out in seats to view the procession,
and employed the plaintiff to dispose of the tickets,
agreeing to allow him 10 per cent. on all ho sold. The
plaintiff, acting under this agreement, inserted adver-
tisements in various French and English papers, and
made other arrangements for announcing to the world
that the tickets were to be procured at his office.
Accordingly, the day before the funeral he was besieged
with applications for tickets; but the defendant having
sent him a message that he was not to dispose of them
until he had further permission to do so, ho directed
*he applicants to wait upon the defendant instead of sell-
ing them tickets, and in this way the defendant suc-
ceeded in letting all his sittings. Nevertheless, the de-
fendant, after the funeral was over, refused to reraz-
nerate the plaintiff for his trouble, and an actin ri wa s
brought by the plaintiff for work and labour clone.
The court, however, held that such an action would
not lie. It should have been an action for breach ,of
contract, and a second action was brought in that form ;
but, at the trial, Mr. Baron Martin held that the mas-
sage of the defendant did not amount' to a breach of
the contract, and, therefore, the plaintiff was not Ern-
titled to recover. This ruling of the learned judge was
considered to be erroneous, and the plaintiff now sou gilt
to have p verdict entered in his favour on a new trial,-
Application granted.
