SHERIFFS' COURT, July 20.
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCUELL.)
RICKARDS V. COLE.
GOING TO THE DERBY.—The plaintiff in tl:6s action
is a livery-stable-keeper, and defendant is an attorney
residing in Gray's Inu-squaie. The claim was for 151.
for the hire of a carriage and four horses to go to Epsom
• on the Derby day.
Charles Rickards, the plaintiff's son, proved that the
defendant wrote the order himself in the book. He
afterwards called on defendant for the amount, when he
first said he would pay 71. 103. that evening, and witness
was to call again next morning. Subsequently- defendant
said he would pay the amount, if 10e. lent to the driver
on the course, and 7s. Bd. for turnpikes, was deducted,
which witness did agree to. The man offered back the
10s., but defendant said he had no fault to find with him,
and would make a present of it to him, and Mr. Rickards
would have to pay him for his work.
John Seymour, the post-boy, was called. He consi-
dered that the person hiring paid the expenses on the
road.
The defence rested wholly on the point whether or not
defendant was liable to pay the expenses and turnpikes,
amounting to 17s. Bd., and it was contended that the ac-
tion ought to have been brought in the County Court.
The jury gave a verdict for the full amount; and
The UNDER•SHERIFF said that in his opinion that
verdict carried costs, although the debt was under 20/.
