COURT OF CONINION rI.EAS, Nov..*3:

The Serjeant submitted to the Court, that, from the
acknowledgment of the sheriff, he did not retain

for with-holding it was illegal—Rule granted.

MILL! I). 41RAHAM.

Mr. Serjeant BIIST moved for -a Rule to shew
cause why the verdift -for 2171. obtained yesterday
by the Plaintiff, for 75 dozen of .skins, should not
be set aside.

Sir JAMES MANSPIELD observed, that the de.
fence set up yesterday was 'the most infamous he had
ever heard in the course of his praaiee. What,
(added his Lordship) cotildlie more iniquitous, than
fikr the Defendant to take the Plaintiff's skins, to a
. large amount, for the agreed purpose of dressing
them, and, when,they were
_sent for, to refuse the
deli Very; qualifying his refusal, however, by say.
ing, that he would pay .the 2171. at which they
were valued, by instalments of 51. a month, but
if these terms were- rejected, he should'keep them
at all events, and take .advantage of his minotity
His Lordship then adverted to the two comics laid
in the Plaintiff's declaration, and dwelt for some
time on that which was reserved. But as the case
was given yesterday, we need not enter into it any
further at present.—Rule granted.
