SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
WEBB V. LITTLEWOOD.

The plaintiff in this action is a livery-stable keeper,
&c., at Croydon, and the defendant is a surveyor, &c.
The action was brought to recover the sum of 351. 10s.,
for the hire of a horse and gig, and damage done to a
horse.

The defy ndant suffered judgment to go by default.
The plaintiff's nephew proved that defendant had fre-
quently had the horse and gig out, and on one occasion
the horse was knocked up " dead lame," and cut about
so that it was laid up. Defendant paid off part of the
account, and promised to pay the remainder, and agreed
that the injury to the horse should be estimated at 101.,
but defendant said he did not at all know how it hap-
pened.
The jury gave a verdict for the full amount.
HYAMS V. ARMSTRONG.

The plaintiff in this action is a preserved fruit mer-
chant, and defendant an oilman in Thames-street. The
action was brought to recover the sum of 51., the balance
of an account for goods

Mr. Hortuy, who appeared for the plaintiff, said that
this Vi as a most harassing proceeding on the part of the
defendant, who had pleaded, but did not appear to sup-
port the plea. The cause was set down for trial this
day fortnight, but could not be proceeded with, in con-
sequence of the absence of the principal witness to
prove the delivery of the goods. The defendant had
given him in custody on a frivolous charge of stealing
a child's cap.
There being no defence, the jury gave a verdict for the
amount claimed.
