NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LirEnrooL, AUG. 21.
YATES 0. HOLME.

This was an action to recover the value of certain goods
sold by the plaintiff to the defendant, through the intervention
of an agent of the name of Allen.
The only question in this cause related to the power of the
defendant, in answer to this demand, to set off the amount of
a debt due to him by the agent Allen, and by mean of
which ho had settled the amount of his purchase, a small sum
of about two pounds only in cash being paid over by him
to balance the account. The purchase had been effected by
Allen without any mention of his acting as agent for another
party, or any express reference to an unknown principal, but
on his printed invoice he was desciibed as " agent for the
sale of jaconet, cambric, and muslin." The invoices were
used by him in all his transactions, even when purchasing on
bis own account.
His Loansuir, in summing up, said it was for the Jury to
say what effect the announcement in the invoice was intended'
to have. If they should be of opinion the defendant either
actually knew that Allen was merely an agent in the transac-
tion, or if they should think the form of the invoice was such
as to express that the party usually dealt as agent, and throw
upon the defendant the duty of inquiring into the matter—if
he meant to deal with him as a principal—the account could
not be set eff.

Verdict for the plaintiff, 891.
DOE DEM. EARNSHAW V. THORNELEY.

This was an action brought by a person claiming as heir-
at-law'of one James Earnsbaw, who died at Pilkington in
1828, against the defendant, a purchaser from one Barrow,
who bad taken possession under a similar title of some landed
property there.
On behalf of the plaintiff a number of registers were pro-
duced, from which it appeared that one David Earnshaw had
been married at Ilepenstall in 1807. His eldest son, David,
was married to a lady of the name of Barrow, who was the
father of the deceased. The present defendant founded his
title on a relationship to the mother. The son David had, it
was alleged, a younger brother, who was the grandfather of the
lessor of the plaintiff. The registers, indeed, at Keightley
showed a certain Edward Earnshaw, from whom the lessor of
the plaintiff was descended, but they did not show that this
Edward was brother to David, the progenitor of the deceased.
To supply this a considerable portion of parole evidence was
given, from which it was made to appear that the deceased,
James Earnshaw, died at Pilkington at the age of about sixty-
five. Mr. Barrow he spoke of as his cousin by the mo-
ther's side. He mentioned, however, on several occasions,
that his family had come from Yorkshire; that the grand-
father lived at Hepenstall ; but becoming much straitened in
his circumstances in consequence of a murrain among the
cattle, which carried off a large portion of his stock, be went
to Keightley, and put out his sons as apprentices. The father
of the deceased did not like the occupation to which he was
put, being that of a shoemaker, and ran away from his inden-
tures. Evidence was given of the deceased having on one
occasion mentioned to a person who was going to Keightley,
that he bad a cousin there, who, he believed, was some kind of
a worker in wood, and desired his best respects to him. The
person to whom this commission was given was, however, un-
able to find him. The lessor of the plaintiff is a turner.
These witnesses underwent a very strict cross-examination,
and, from the evidence of one of them, of the name of Lan-
caster, it appeared that be was very intimate with the de-
ceased, who sometimes spoke of leaving him his property.
That he was indebted to the deceased at the time of his death,
and had been compelled by Mr. Barrow to pay the amount.
He at first admitted a debt of only 161., but was finally
obliged to pay 1051. He was the means f discovering the
present claimant, having mentioned the circumstance at a
public table at an inn near Keightley. A commercial tra-
veller present, of the name of John Smitb, subsequently wrote
to him about the matter, and was the means of introducing
him to the lessor of the plaintiff. He had made, he stated, an
agreement with the deceased that he should pay the latter an
annuity of 50/. for his life, and have the land at his death.
This agreement was originally in writing, but was cancelled,
and another agreement entered into by parole, which, however,
was never put in writing.
Evidence was also given of declarations of deceased per-
sons belonging to the family at Keightley, giving a similar
account of the family to that given by the deceased James
Earnshaw.

Mr. CRESSWELL, for the defendant, contended that it would
be a most dangerous prececent if estates could be taken away
from the known and recognised relatives of a deceased person
by evidence such as had been given on the other side. The
registers proved nothing without the supplementary parole evi-
dence ; and this, be contended was far too loose, and from far
too suspicicus a source to justify their acting on it.
A number of witnesses were called to prove declarations of
the deceased that his family had originally come from York-
shire, but that he had no relatives there. He claimed none, he
said, and none claimed him. He spoke of Mr. Barrow as a
relativ e.
Mr. WIMITMAN replied, and the Jury after retiring for some
time, brought in a verdict for the defendant.
