and the delendanra Jeer itttorney.
.I,t was an action to recover payment for the care of
an empty house, at the rate of 35.. 6J. per day for
three months. The questiau was'whet her the plain-
tiff had bona fide fulfilled his engagement. He
proved that he had constantly watched the premises
in question but had never slept there. • The defen-
dant, on the other. hand adduced evidence to show
that. the plaintiff had never gone near the house,
more than once or twice, alter the first week.
Sir JAbfas MANSFIELD Was of opinion, that in the
first place, the demand of 3s. Oci. per day, made by
the plaintiff' was tooexorbitant far the labour done,
and in the next place that the case was by no means
made out. It wits for the Jury to determine for how
•muCh longer a period they would remunerate kiln
than a week. Judging of the evidence, he was de-
cidedly of opinion he-ought to recover no more than
for the hilt week's attendance.

The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 445.—
Costs, 40s.

minutes he had to spare,' proceeded, and again fi-
nished his other mile, being, the 15th day of his per-
