SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
PENNELL AND OTHERS V. YOUNG AND OTHERS.
The plaintiffs are the assignees of Messrs. Burton, Wb°
were formerly extensive builders and railway contras"
tors; defendants were also builders in the Kent-road; to
recover the sum of 521.

On the part of the plaintiffs it was proved that, the
defendants bad admitted the debt, and offered a comps'
sition of ss. in the pound, which was refusQd.
A verdict was given for the full amount.
HAYWARD V. BOLTON.

This was an action to recover the sum of 14/. 55,4,
defendant denied the debt, except to the amount 0'
71. Bs. 9d., which was paid into court, and 5L sa. 14't
commission on sale of a carriage.
The facts were these:—ln November last plaintiff'
who is an ironmonger, and had a claim against de-
fendant, bargained for a carriage for 100/. in liquids:
tion of an overdue account. The carriage was 13.°,:.
finished at the time, but when it was completed plainto;
requested defendant to sell it for him. It was advertise;
for sale, but after several months was not sold. Plaintiff
then himself obtained a customer, and the main featsrre_
in the case was whether the defendant was entitled to
_
claim for the standing and commission, the carriat;
having been first sold by him to plaintiff, but sevet,
having been removed, and eventually sold to a Ws°
sent by plaintiff, but who bought on the recommends'
tion of defendant. ,
_0
Mr. Hayling of the Bazaar in Portman-street, ea
evidence as to the custom. He considered the plaint'
entitled for standing and commission.
AL, Tavntso uuntanded that under the circutnatsn.
it could not be considered that the carriage had bet
left for sale on commission,
Mr. NATHAN, in reply, said the custom was clear, tha
if a carriage was once sold, and the purchaser might a
any time have had it, if he chose to sell again, he was'
liable to the usual charges of commission; at all events,'
in this case, the defendant was clearly entitled to the'
charge for the standing (1/. 12s. 6d.).
The UNDER-SHERIFF said, the jury might perhaPsi
think the defendant entitled to one and not the other.'
There had not been any evidence called by plaintiff tci
disprove the custom, as stated on the part of the
fondant.
The jury gave a verdict for defendant.
