The Plaintiffs in this alion were baize manufae.
niters ; they had employed a man of the name of
Shepherd Scott, as a traveller, to sell goods for them

ingly sold goods to the Defendant to the amount of
tot. t9s. in the name of Shepherd Scott and Co.
and bought some atticles from the Defendant for

from Shepherd Scott and Co.

Lord E,LLICNBOROUGH said, where an anion was
brought by an unpaid principal for goods sold,

might set off the amount of the articles which Scott
had received from him. against the Plaintiff's

Mr. CAR now moved to set aside the nonsuit ob.
tained in ►his cause.

The Mlion was brought against the Defendant, as
acceptor of a Bill of. Exchange of got. Upon the
trial, a witness of the name of Burton swore that the
Defendant had applied to him to procure cash for
the Bill in question, and he declared he could not,
without paying
:a sum of go shillings ; he then took
the Bill to the Plaintiff, who gave him the cash 'for
its without deducing any such whatever fordiscOunt
or otherwise. 'ln paying over the amount to De.
fendant, the. Witness stopped 31, for his trouble. It
appeared that this was an exurbitant'demand, and
further, that the Witness was interested in the event.
The Court granted a Rule to shew cause.

•
ed hit warrant : he must be liable, and the anion
should have been brought again,t him. s
It appeared, however, froth the afn(lartts,
the Plaintiff did not reside within the jurisdiaion of
the Magistrate; that he had- certainly ranted the
warrant, but it' had-been executed out of his jurii.
diction.; the Magistrate, therefore, waa not to blame,
nor did the Plaintiff accuse him ; the Constable and
his assistants were in error': -the warrant was right,
but the execution of it was wrong.
The Court made the Rule fur a new trial ab.
