bearing the date 16th October, 1830, for 5001., the other on the 12S
of October, for 2,000/.; both were drawn by Lord Foley and accePttet and
by Mr. Jadis. There were several pleas, averring want of notice
consideration ; but the principal ground of defence was that four hi'
ls

part, had been discounted by one Pennell usurious
, a picture.dealer, onted
interest. The two bills in question, it appeared, were again
partly in money and partly in clothes, by the plaintiff', fora per
the
named Richardson, who endorsed them. A verdict was found on
new tr,iedict
plaintiff; but Mr. Kelly, last Term, obtained a rule fora
the ground of the improper reception of evidence, and that thein%t the
was against evidence. Mr. Sergeant Wilde showed cause "a
rule, and Mr. Kelly supported it. —Rule discharged. discouri
