LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING's BEECH, {,u•ht

BENTLEY AND WARD V. urrn.

This abort had been 'brought against t!)el).3fend-
ant in his capacity of Treasurer to tilt. Wrest Intik(
Mock Company, to. recover damages for.-the:liin-
drance of the Plaintiffs' business as Sugar-Coopers:
A Verdi& had been found for thel)efeudat)t.

. .
Mr. WOAD, on the part of the Plaintas, -said,
that his-clients had a right to enter on the premises
of the Defendant, to cooper the hogshead` of sugar
commitfed.to their care by
.the ditletent merchants
in the metropolis; that. in the execution- of -such
right the Defendant had obstruEted them, by not
permitting them to cooper• 115 horgsheads of sugar
lying at the We'Stindia Docks. By-the statutes 31)
and 40 ofthe King, .the-Defendant 163 allowed. to
have the: cooperage of :all F.u.pri imported,., but he
was not to retain those which _were.tdbe exported.
These' 116 hogsheads Were dentancl!di ',and refused
to be delivered ; :but the Phiintill's I,.ere informed,
.that they would be coopered • by direCtion of the
Dock, Company. Under' these cireAmstances; and.
on these grounds, the. Learned Counsel contended
that a new trial ought to 'he granted. •
Mr, EAST, on the Contrary, argued, that; in-order
to prevent great :frauds -upon the revenue, 'the Le-
gistature had prOvided: cert'ain.,A&ts of Parliament;
by which' the West India Company WAS established.
It Was the province of this CoMpany to cooper, un-
der their osini dire4ion; all the,hogiheads of suar
•• chile into. the, Dock 5 and .so cautious v,ts
Parliament to prevent intrusion, that were to
he erctedthirtyfeet high round the prernities;, and
.it was ena&ed, that .no _person should be employed,
even;on any part of theworks, but Under the ilutr,;.!:.
diate.orders and inspeTelion of the institution. For
these reasons, he: contended that -the verdi6t ought.
to be maintained. •

Lord ELLENEOROUGII-*--." As this i a -case of
mach importance, we will examine the A.Ets of. Par-
liament; and .giro judgment on future day."

which was tried' bet-two ,Lord ELLEN aoltovon at the

• The align was..bronght for Setting aside a Com-
mission of Bankrupt,: awarded againstthe Plaintiff,
on the ground that he. did not carry on any trade at
the time the Petitioning. Creditors debt was eon,-
trati.4 : •
The Learned Counsel Stated the circumstances .of
the case to,be these: the Plaintiff, who was a Sur-
:geon
.and .Apothecary at ilaYwater, but-who had,
never kept a shop, So.as, in that capacity to. subjekt
lutn to Conunission of Bankruptcy, had, after'the
death of his mother,: who held a Patent for manu-
faCturing spring., stirrups, continued, to carry on the
businesS for his father, who. had a small income
arising fromthe Navy, at 'Portsmouth, 'till the day of
hiS death, in the end of. July, l eo:?.. Ho then gate
Up. the business, and from. that period the mechanic,
who had formerly mantifaattrod.for hith and for his
mother, the article in (itlition, sold it on •his own
account. .

The Commission of Bankrupt Was, taken out is
'March,
,1804., and it appeared that h the December
preceding, although the. Plaintiff might not have got
other spring stirrups mannfaettned, that he was in
the use of conthm* to sell and, otherwise dispose
,of them. In particadar,.that in November that year
he sOlieited employment in that lineii-om aparticu-
"at person, assuring WM of more than ustal
tuality.
Mr. ERs KI-NE, notwithstanding this, contended that
as both buying and selling were essential to constitute
a person liable to be made a Baukrapt ; a:1,1 as it did,
not appear that his client ,had or near the period of
the Oontriielioli: of the petitioning Creditor's debt, pur,r:
