STOCK EXCHANGE.

ELL2S-Mcs DAVEigFORT.
MR.. Ens HE stated., that this ;talon Was brought
to recover 3701., atnaunt of two Bills of 'Ex.
change,of .which the Defendant was acceptor. He
understood that esm was:int 'to impeach the consis
derAtion for whiehlhese 13111 s were given, and it
was to be said it was.nioney lost in . the Funds in
Bargains Tine. .It was his , business only to
prove ,the,Bills, in the first instance.
After the Bills were put in and proved, Mr.
GIBBS obscoled, that the Defendant was a young
man, who in consequence of Stock jabbing had lost
near ..estsol. This_ loss arose from a .cnntratt he
entered into.with the' Plaintiff and other persons,
to 'pay the d:fference between the price ni.(:),Otirqn
on the day on which the Contrat was made, and
what is called the Settleinent Day. On that day
debt was 4821. besides other large
sunis"which he hod lost to someother persons. These
per oars "'idled to suppint the Pelendanr, and there-
fore
came to an agreement that, they would take p.
the Pound. Neither the Plaintiff nor Defendant
had arty Quinium; but their contraft.was merely on
the differences. 'The Plaintiff,:rold. the Defendant,
that if he could • not. pay the whole of thisAeht,
which was a dub; of honour, he would she w.hitri,*till
to be a man of. hononr, to pay as much of it asite
posSibly cnuld. Thete was no great merit in paying
a debt ,whicli the law would enforce, but the point
of honour lay in discharging,a debt which could not
he enforeed' in a Court of Justice. The amount of
cn,e of the Bills was '1291. 10'5. ,and the other
240. tar.
Mt, Seuro said the Defendant might be about
five or.tix and twenty., Mr. Ellis was a Stock-
broker, and said Mr. Davenport was a defaulter to
a 'considerable amount ; 'that was on the usth of
August, the day after, the Settlement-day at 'the
Stock Exchange. This loss had been sustained by
the Defendant, in consequence of his Principals for-
paking'hira. He Could not discharge the differences
between the Omnium of the day 'of the contraet, and
on the Seitleinent-day. The Blaiotiff said he was
one of the principal Creditors of Mr. Davenport,
and that the loss would fall very heavy upon him.
said this was, considered as a Debt of Honour,
but the committee of the Stock Exchange had some
idea it mipt be made :t Legal 'Debt,. and might 'be
teeoveted in a CdtirrThf jtistice. The Plaintiff re.
commended, it to Mr. Davenport to Sell his goods,
his warehouse, and his furniture,. and make op...the
deficiency in time Stock Exchange, and then lie would
aft like a man of honour' ; he said he would be again
enabled to shew his face at the Stock Exchange, anti
to'carry on his, business ; his deficieneies would be
overlooked, and his friends would take him by the'
liand.as usual.., In the'month of November he saw
the Plaintiff at Lloyd's. He said Mr.' Davenport
hod stied like a rogue,. and had dishonout ed his
Bilks ,
On cross-examination by Mr.Eitstots E Ile wit-
ness said the Plaintiff considered the Defendant as a
Iss.muiter, from lits."-rtincipais desertiug
put .fulfilling the agreements they had 'made. They
wished Mr. Davdnport, toenneeal their names, on
condition of paying part of the differeneeel—Mr:
ElliS it was considered as a debt of honour.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange thoUght it
'Might be considered as merchandize, 'and if they
could get if OP established in point of Law, this
and oilier similar' demands might be recovered, as
legal debts.
Etssxt N in' reply, observed among other
'things, that this would never be establishes as mer.:
chandize—tbat it was irtecintravention of Bir: John
Barnard') A. Butio this case, before' the Jury
,cut down these two Bills of Exchange, hecatik the
consideration was illegal,' they must shrew aistinoly
that illegality attached, the Plaintiff denied that
le had ever entered-into a bargain for time, The-
',Learned Counsel admitted, that it appeared from
the evidence,, that. the Plaintiff and ,Defendant Kati
entered into bargains for time but it' did not stir-.
ficiently .appear, 'that any of these. was conneded
with the Bills in question. The jury must be sa.
sisfied the, evidence applied with a sufficient degree
of precision. The questiOnlot them to decide was.
this had they a, right, .po the evidence that had
been prOduced, to say that th;!se two specific Bills
Wereconneded with this transadion ? It did not
appear that Abe Plaintiff had nOt actually sold Omni.
urn to the-Defendant.

The Noble and Learned judge, in his address to
the kry, observed, that this aaion was brought
on to Hills of Exchange, on which the Plaintiff
was tnatled to recover, unless they bad been given

- idea, i
for an illegal consideration. Some dea, t was
said, had been entertained somewhere, that this was
to be conkidercd in the nature of tnerchanclize, Hts
Lotrilhip could riot conceive how 'that could be called
merchandize, which a man had not in possession.
They were not to take their ideas of law on this sub
jee.l from the Stuck 'Huh:lnge.
I Lordship summed up the evidence, and said,
if the jury believed it, he was of opinion they ought
to find a V:•rdiet for the Defendant. Mr, Daven,
port would not have acted much like a man of ho-
nour, if he, had followed the interested advice given
him by the Plaintiff, to •hove sold off all his pro-
perty to pay his gambling debts, in preference to
hiq fair tctia fide creditors, who bed, supplied him
with their goods.—Verdiet fOr the Defendant.
