frain from so doing. lie hoped that the solicitors Ti
both sides would, in framing their affidavits, boar in

strife.

trouble which he had taken in the matter, alley

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAB'`)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL
sKoorEn AND ANOTHER V. THORMOOD.
The plaintiffs in this action are wine merchants in they
City, and the defendant is the landlord of the Bush Inn;,
Farnham. The claim was for 421. 17s. 11d. for ditties
paid on brandies supplied to the defendant.
Defendant suffered judgment to go by default; it was
therefore only necessary to prove the amount due.
Mr. Hudson, a clerk in the plaintiffs' service, was
called, and proved that they cleared out brandies for
defendant in November, 1850, the duties amounting
to 421. 17s. I Id., on which sum plaintiffs claimed interest,
the amount not having been paid at the end of the month,
according to the custom of the trade. Witness pro
.
duced some letters, but had never seen the defendant
write; he had acted upon the orders in them.
The plaintiffs' attorney put another letter in the, ands,
of the witness, who pronounced that also to be guine-
to the best of his belief.
The plaintiffs' attorney said that it was only received
this morning, and contained a remittance.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said that was a very substantial
proof, and asked what verdict was asked for, as the in-
terest could not be claimed unless the custom was !howls
to have been within the defendant's knowledge.
The plaintiffs' attorney said be must take a verdict fc
She whole amount, as the remittance was only in hit t!
notes, and it was not easy for the jury to divide thelf
verdict.
The jury then gave a verdict for the amount chime
era,
and interest from the date of a letter from defendr
offering to pay the same in consequence of not being abl •
to meet his engagement.
This was the only case tried.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said he could not keep the juror I
in waiting, and struck the other causes out of the list.
