worth-common. The ground upon which it stood
was formerly Spencer-park, and it was now laid
out in roads for building purposes. The house in
queStion is partly in Wandsworth parish and partly
in Battersea, but the greater portion of the building
was in Wandsworth. The fore court of the garden
and the front of the house were in his district, but
he claimed his fee for the whole of the building. He
had applied to the defendant for the fee, but he had
refused to settle with him in consequence of a simi-
lar application being made by the district surveyor
of Battersea. Witness had seen his colleague, and
had endeavoured to arrange the matter by offering to
divide the fee between them, but he would not con-
sent, and said he should expect the whole fee.
The defendant did not deny that the fee was ow-
ing, but he was placed in a very awkward position
as to whom he should pay it. If he paid the money
to the complainant it was very likely that he should
be summoned by the surveyor at Battersea. He
was sole owner and builder of the house, and before
he commenced he gave notice to Mr. Hiscocks. He
then applied to the Metropolitan Board of Works,
and was informed that the place was in the district
of the Battersea surveyor. He then gave notice to
him, and he was now called upon by both surveyors
for the fee.

Mr. Bingham said it was a very curious case,
and the defendant was certainly placed in an awk-
ward position. He should adjourn the summons
for the Battersea surveyor to be consulted, in order
that he might take out proceedings ; and he (Mr.
Bingham) could then dispose of both cases at the
same time.
