LAW: REPORT.

COURT OV KiNG's BENCH, APRIL 19.

THE trIAVOR AND CORrtRATION OF CARLISLE)
V. ALEXANpfsR
SIR SINInAI LE BLANC read the report of the
Learned Judge (Sir ALAN CtiAmBRE) before whom
this cause was tried. It was an anion of assumpsit,
brought. to try the right of the Plaintiff's Toll for
Commercial Goods -(rtot belonging to- passengers),
carried from -and - through the ' town of Carlisle.
Their right by charter and prescription to receive
toll .for such goods conveyed on single pack-hoises,
or in ,earts_ drawn by one or more horses, was
not disputed : it,was thus proportioned—one penny
hore for each packhorse laden with goods, two-
penco fora cart so laden drawn by one horse, four-
pence: for one drawn by two horses, and, after that
number an additional twopence for each horse.
Messrs. PARKE, HOLRoYD, and HULLOCK, in
support of the verdict, contended, that as it ap-
peared in evidence, as reported by the Learned
Judge, that'uo such toll had been claimed for goods
'conveyed in stage coaches for fifty years past (ex-
eepe a, claim which was made about fifteen years
ago, denied, and 'dropped) the Plaintiff could 'not
rely on the ground-of prescription and usage, and it
was reasonable to 'infer that coaches have always-
tyee6 exempt, from this charge, inasmuch as the num-
ber mf horses was,the criterion by which the rate of.
toll was appreciated as to carts, because :it was to
be presumed that the greater number of horses were
required to (lOW the greater quantity of goods, but
that could ne.t.--be ;Thee-Case with respeet„ tro stage'
ectaiVisie; there rumps be four or six horstii to stage
coach and not more thanone. parcel of goods, and.
it generally happened that more commercial goods
were conveyed by a single horse cart than in a stage
coach drawn by four horses it would be therefore
unreasonable that the coach should be charged Sd.
toll, and the cart; more heavily laden, only zd. •
The Learned Counsel admitted, that if the Plain-
tiffs were entitled to a toll on goods: generally, the
verdict for the Defendant, which they were'.to sup-
port, might be wrong ; but it was only'a toll jab
mode. this case there :Was on evidence of any
fFatid or evasion. -The stage coaches conveyed
goods subordinatel•;, and incidentally, but they were
fitted up and intended for passengers.
Lifa,ELLENBOROVGI-1 said, the substantive right
is a ,toll. .for goodsadmitting that no claim: had
been made for toll on gOodscarried by stage coach(q,
that 'tray he accounted for, variously. It Vas -hail:
pcued,'hut very recently that stage coaches haVe
been converted into vehicles for the carriage 'of
goods—and even the number of stage coaches is
much increased of
_late years. :In the history of
Cutnberland, by Burns, it is mentioned that Bishop
Nicholson had, been obliged tti walk a$ far as Stant--
ford before lie could: get into a stage coach 'with the
Nobleman to whom he was then tutor. BUtif any
vehicle, Whether cart or coach, or barrouch, or-by
whatever name it.:tnay-be called, carries goods on
which there is a preStrivtiVe right of toll; the party
intitled to it has a right to reeeive: it=--not
from'the proprietor, as has been contended; but
froin the carrier, 'the person with the gands.—The
Court was unanimous in setting aside'the Verdi t.
