from the defendants, the whole of the warrants were deposited
with them by Hunt and Sharpe, by way of security for the pay-
ment of the bills. On -the 23d of February, 1819, .Hunt and
Sharpe received from Moon the following directions, con-
tained in a letter :—" Half of the amount from Williams's is
all Leonid wish, or even nothing, if, you can force off every
bale of cotton. If half could be done by Messrs. Williams
and'Co. Mr. B.'s warrants might remain.' In consequence of
this, an application Was made by Hunt and Sharpe to the de-
fendants, to renew ten thousand pounds of the amount of tha4,l
miginal.billes which the defendants agreed to do, by discount-
ing other bills similar to the former, oh the security of the war-
rants, to cover them to that amount being left with them, as a
security for such renewal. Hunt and Sharpe did not at any
time previous to such renewals, communicate to the defendants
that any alteration had taken plate in the property, or that the
plaintiffs had-any concern in it. ,On the 2d of March, Sharpe,
for the firm of Hunt and Sharpe, received the warrants froth the
defendants, for the express purpose of dividing them, so as to
take 10,0001. worth of them: away, and to :return the 'other
10,0001. Worth to the defendants, to remain.with them as a se-
curity for the 'renewed bills, and took them to hig counting-
house, for the purpose of msjeing such separation ; and -having ,
done so, returned to the defendants the-warrants belonging to
the plaintiffs, and retained those ichieli had been appropriated
to Moon, and in so doing, acted by the directions of M*.4),'
without any communication with or privity from the•plaintiffs.
The defendants discounted four bills drawn and accepted as,
above-Mentioned, amounting to 10,1211., which were dishonour-
ed when they. became due. The. defendants subsequently sold
the cottons in question for 73371. and the question was, whether
the plaintiffs were entitled to maintain this action of trover
against the defendants.
111 r. F. PonLoClil,. for the plaintiffs, contended that the goods
being pledged to the defendants by Hunt and Sharpe, without
the plaintiff's privity, this was clearly a case in which trover
might be maintained.
Mr. -TINDAL, on the other hand, admitted the general prin-
ciple, that a broker cannot pledge the* gods of his principal, but
insisted that as these goods were pledged by the directions of
Moon, who was jointly interested in them with the plaintiffs,
the latter must be bound by
.his arts
The Court were clearly of opinion that the plaintiffs were en-
ttled to recover. They could not be bound by Moon's Act.—
Though jointly interestedin these particular goods, they could
not he considered as •• Moon's partners; so as to make his acts
binding upon them. The defendants were free from all moral
imputation upon their _conduct; but the conduct of the other
parties savoured strongly of the grossest fraud, in whichever
way it was considered ; still the plaintiffs were not barred of
their remedy against the defendants, who had obtained posses-
sion of the warrants by the wrongful -acts of Moen and the
brokers. Judgment for the plaintiffs.
XERXES V. THE SOUTH LONDON WATER-WORKSEOMPANY.
This was an action on the case, by the driver of a Godal-
ming coach, against the defendants, for having' dug a bole in
the public highway, and so negligently and carelessly-filled it up
again with improper materials, that the coach-which the plain-
tiff was driving was upset, and his thigh broken. The decla-
ration described the place of 'the accident to he situate in the
parish of St. Mary, Newington ; but it appeared in etidence to
have taken place in the parish of Lambeth. At the trial before
the Lord Chief Baron, at the Spring Assizes for Surrey, the
Learned Judge thought this a fatal variance, and therefore di-;
rected the plaintiff to be nonsuited. 'A rule Nisi was obtained
in Easter Term for setting aside the nonsuit, and granting a
new trial.
Mr. GunivEY and Mr. NOLAN now spewed cause against
the rule, and contended that the variance was fatal, for that the
parish was matter of description ; and being stated, ought to
have been proved.
Mr. CUnwoop, in support of the rule, insisted that the pa-
rish was no part of the description, but was merely venue,
and, therefore, in a personal action like this, need not be
proved.
The Court were .strongly inclined to think the nonsuit was
right, and earnestly recommended the plaintiff's Counsel to con-
sent to a stet processus.
Mr. CURWOOD, after. such a. recommendation, thought he
acted best for the interests of his client, and therefore yielded
to the suggestion, the- time being out for bringing another
action.
