PAL4CE COURT, JULY 31.

AV/DSO.N V. PALMER,

This was a cause of a very singular nature.--The
Plaintiff was a pawnbroker, and the Defendant wars
a baker's journeyman. It appeared the Defendant,
who was in the employment of a Mr. Wood, was
in the habit of occasionally taking shillings and
halfpence to the Plaintiff's shop, to exchange far
notes and gold. On the ach June, he went with
a quantity of small money, to the amount of tot.
for which he was to receive notes of equal vague.
The Plaintiff's servant delivered him a bindle el
one and two pound notes, supposed to contain
col. with which the D*q.enct:lnt went 'away. The
Plaintiff's servant, on c:tsting up his books the
next morning, found himself tcl, tkficient, and
was unable t 9 account for it in any other man_
net than by imagining he had given the De-
fendant a bundle of notes to the amount of zol- in-
stead of 161. He went to the Defendant, who de-
nied having received any more than the sum be was
entitled to. The Plaintiff arrested the Defendant
for the money, upon which the Defendant's Master
said, " If you-have got the notes, give them up."
Aye, replied the other, but there's the expellee of
the writ. His Master said he would pay that ex-
pence himself. At this moment the Defendant's
wife came up; and said her husband had not got the
notes, and that he should rather go to prison than
pay the money. It was principally upon the ambi.
guous declaration of the Detindantas to the expence
of the writ, that,the Plaintiff's Counsel relied. He
insisted that it implied a consciousness on the part.Of
the Defendant of his having the notes, and of his
readiness to have delivered them tip, but for the ex-
pence of the writ. On the other hand, the De-
fendant's Counsel contended, that' so vague an in-
ference from an hasty expression, was not that sort
of evidence upon which a verdid could be founded.
The judge Sergeant MAaskra.LL) summed
up the evidence, and observed, that in such a case
as this, he could give no diredion in point of Law
to the Jury, for it was solely a question of fad. It
was a transadion certainly involved in great doubt
and obscurity; If the pawnbroker's servant had
given a parcel of notes amounting to zol. instead of
iol. and the Defendant had received More than he
was entitled to, he was bound to refund it The
Jury consulted some time, and gave' a Verdi& for
the Defendant.

About 4000 cwt. of flour, and 700® cwt. of
rice, were received from America during the last
week. There were likewise about 3000 'quarters
of wheat imported from Dantzic, I\iieinel, and
lau, and :500 quarters from Ireland.
