LEWIS V. ROOM

Mr. Ricuanns moved for a rule calling on an attorney
whom he named to shew cause why he should not pay the
costs incurred by the defendant, and also the costs of this
application. The defendant had been arrested in the
country fora debt of 421., and he remitted that amount
together with a sum to cover costs, to his attorney, who,
however, neglected to discharge the debt. The cause went
on, and a verdict went against the defendant, who had to
pay the debt and costs over again. The a•torney had since
paid the amount of the debt, but he had failed to pay the
costs so incurred, and the object of this application was to
compel the payment of theni.
His. LORDSHIP granted a rule to slim cause.

the plaintiff's residence in the said city, under a penalty
of 1,0001. The defendant only remained in his situation
a few wraiths, and, as a consideration for his services, be
was presented with the petty sum of 30/. ; after this pe-
riod he (the defendant) broke the limitations in the bond,
and establi-hed a business of his own, the consequence was
the plaintiff brought his action to recover the penalty,
and the Jury gave him a verdict for 1,000/.
The LORD CHIRP JUSTICE nt.w said, tat the Court
were of opinion, that the defendant had hail considerable
practice and experience in the profession of a dentist,
which, of necessity required, great skill and knowledge,
before he entered into the agreement with the plaintiff,
and therefore could have commenced business on his own
account without any restrictions whatever, and the Court
thought that it was too much for the plaintiff to expect
such a teAraint, by which the public would be deprived of
the great advantages of the defendant's skill and talent, be-
sides which, the period of six months, the whole of the time
that the defendant remained with the plaintiff, and fir
which he only received a consideration of thirty pounds,
was most certainly not a sufficient sum, amp was quite
unreasonable on the part of the plaintiff to expect so se-
vere a penalty, as the business could only be carried on
by personal attendance. 1-lis Lordship concluded by de-
