heard of it being obtained, and immediately absconded,

ever, served the notice on his wife, which, perhaps, your
Lordship will deem good service.

the attorney does not appear, to make it absolute.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

JAMES V. COI TON.

Mr. Serjeant WILDE for the plaintiff, stated to the
Court that this action arose out of An agreement entered
into between the parties in the •eause, 'for 6,0001. for
bricks to build certain houses at Croydon, in burrey. The
plaintiff did not fulfil the *contract, having advanced only
1341. before the expiration of the time it should have been
completed. However, he brought his action to recover
the money he had advanced, and a verdict was taktrt for
the plaintiff, subject to a reference. The point for the
Court now to decide was, whether under such circum-
stances the plaintiff had or not ground of action ? The
Learned Serjeant, at some length, argued the case in favour
of the
Mr. Serjeant Sranxii for the defendant, contended
that an action could not be sustained, as the contract was
of a complicated and not of a simple nature, as of moray
lent, and therefore, could not go to action until it w,cs
completed.
The COURT decided that, as there was no special for-
t; it on the agreement, and as the term 12.1 d expired, the
action was a good one.
