FRIDAY, FEB. 17.
MAKER V. TOWN, D. D.

The Plaintiff is an Organ Builder, in the New
Road, Lambeth Marsh ; the Defendant, a Clergy.,
man, who lately had an establishment at Blackheath,
for the education of young Gentlemen, but who now
resides at Deptford. It seems the Defendant had
some discord with the man of concord, or the orga-
nist he employed at his Chapel ; and in order to pre_
vent the harmony that should always attend the
sacred services from being interrupted, he had order..
ed an organ to be construded on a plan simi-
lar to those of the itinerant Jews, which would
dispense with the necessity of having a professed
musician. In pursuance of this design, Dr. TowN
gave an order to the Plaintiff to make an instrument
of this kind, for`the value of which (201.) the pre.
sent ation was brought.
Messrs. ERSK,Itit ancl-MA.RaioT, for the Plain_
tiff, stated his credit and'eminence in his business,
and produced Mr. James Ayre a 3 a witness, who de.
posed to the execution of the barrels, &c.
-Mr. Lincoln was.also brought to prove the hand..
writing of the Defendant to certain letters, which
contained the instructions to the Plaintiff for the
completion of the work. On some hesitation in
,giving his testimony, Mr. ERSKINE said, he was
Confident that he only paused while " the Devil
was looking over LineOln,".
Mitchell, a third witness, having proved the de..
livery,
Mr. GARROW addressed the Court and Jury in
behalf of the Defendant, and, then proved, by satis-
faCiory evidence, that the Organ was not executed
in a workmanlike manner,- and that it was not de.
livered until a considerable time after the period
prescribed by the order. A mechanic deposed,
that although intendedfor sacred music, it was only .
suited to disturb the congregation, by exciting ri.
dicule ; that the music produced was as different
from what was intended, as Chevy Chace from the
favourite Anthem of God Save: the King. This
singular witness concluded his depositions with
offering his services (in the style of Silvester Dag-
grinvcad), and reminding Mr. GARROW, whose
Client hehad brought off, that both for him and his
sister he had been employed in' the, musical way,.
and.he said he hoped for the continuance of his
patronage.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—" The order was nei-
titer executed io the proper time, or in the proper
manner."—VerdiCt for the.D,efendant.
