SHERIFFS' COURT, September 19.
(Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.)
JOSEPH V. WATSON.
This was an action to recover damages for a false
warranty on goods sold.
Mr. Ryland appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Locke
for the defendant.
Mr. RYLAND stated the case. The plaintiff is a metal
dealer in Aldgate, and the defendant, who is in the same
trade, resides at Stepney. In June last the defendant
offered for sale a quantity of pewter, which he
warranted, saying that he had run and
moulded it himself. The plaintiff bought the
metal for 281.. and afterwards offered to sell
it, but on its being tested by the person who was
about to buy it it was found to be, instead of pewter, a
mixture of z:nc, lead, and other metal; in fact, that
there was not one-twelfth or one-thirteenth part of
pewter. And, in consequence, instead of being able to
sell it at a profit, he was compelled to sell it at a loss of
three-halfpence per pound. He therefore now sought tc
recover damage Evidence was 'then adduced to show that the whole
metal when melted was as stated by the counsel, and
that it was impossible to discover the deception by the
eye, as the counterfeit was cased in good pewter. It
only fetched 3d. per lb.; but if it had been good it would
have fetched 51d. per lb. at least. The defendant after-
wards offered to " split" the loss between them.
Mr. LocKE elicited that the plaintiff bad had a sample
of the metal, and therefore contended that there had not
been any warrantry. And a man in the defendant's em-
ploy, and a brother of defendant was called,
and swore that they melted the metal down,
and that it was impossible but that it
must be the same all the way tbrongh, and any one
might have distinguished it at sight. The metal was
called "good black metal." They never heard of casing
or washing by electrotyping or otherwise. It was worth
a pound.

Mr. hYLAND replied, and denied there had been any
sale by sample, for if there had, and plaintiff could have
sold it at a fair price, he would have kept it, and not
sold it at about half price, and run the risk of the
costs of this action.
The jury gave a verdict for the defendant.

the Lord Mayor), and Aldermen Moor; and MAGNAY.)
A great number of jurymen were fined 101. each for
non-attendance.
Mary Phillips was indicted for assaulting Ann Samuels
en the 4th of May.
Mr CLARKSON appeared for the defendant, who
pleaded Not Guilty.
The prosecutrix deposed that during the absence of
her brother from his shop, she saw his servant carrying
off several articles, and on following her, she found
where they were taken to, when defendant assaulted her
violently.
Mr. CLARKSON elicited that the dispute arose out of
a family quarrel.
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
