EDINBURGH, JUNE 20.

OH Tuesday se'nnight the Court of Session
finally determined a question of very great im.
Nuance to the mercantile interest of this Country,
In the beginning of February, 1801, Mr. James
Merchant in Edinburgh, gave an ord6' to
the Rider or Travelling Agent of Messrs. Harris,
James,. and. Co.. Tea-dealers in London, fora quan.
tity of Teas. A rise in the price of T'ea took place,
and the order not being fulfilled, Mr.. Milne pro.
ceeded to raise an Aaiun of Damages against them
tor breath of contract. In defence tt was pleaded,
tit, That a Rider has no power tobind hit consti.
turnts,- and that anybargain he may conclude is not
obigatory on them till such time as they-have sig.
nifird tln'ir acceptance: 2,liy, That no bargain was
conclUded, the mete taking ao order, and
marking in in the Rider's book, being no evidence
t!ia, he lia,l become bound to Off' it : and .3dly,
at any rate, they could not. be obliged to
fulfil this order,
.as an irregularity had occurred'at a
former settling.
To this it was.answered, Ist, That the only use
of a, Rider is to -coiled 'debts, and take orders.
That if his constituents were not to be considered
buand by the Contraftabe enters.into, it: would he
attended with the Most. serious consequences. By
the Law of Scotland, both partici must be hound ur
brith free, whereas if the rioarine of the Defenders
was-received, the, persons giving the order would
be 41011 C, bourid, while the person taking the order
might fulfil it or nest according to the state of the
market and the Shopkeeper would besides labour
under -another .disadvantage, as his hands were tied
up trom ordering goods from any other.person, .by
which means he may be deprived of an opportunity
of purchasing the goods necessary for carrying on
;Cs trade. zdly, That there was no irregularity
truly 'on any former occasion.
• The Lord Ordinary found the Defenders liable in
Damages, and to this Judgment the Court adhered,
after advising two different petitions with answers.
• A cause of much importance to Farmers was a
few days ago decided by His Majesty's Justices. of
the Peace for the Cotinty .of Roxburgh. The cir.
cumstances of, the case are as folloti : A neighboni,
ing Farmer engaged a Shei.lierd for one year, from
Whitsunday 18oz to Whitsunday 1803, and besides
-other considerations? he was to be allowed to keep
eight sheep of his own upon his master's ground.
Some time after Whitsunday, it was discovered
;hat dig Shepherd kept snore sheep than he was al.
lowed to do by his bargain ; and the master after.
wards learned, that although his servant acknow.
ledged his fault at the time, and proinised not to
• do 'so in future, he had continued to keep a greater
number of sheet) than the articles of his agreement
allowed him. Thentaster, both in justice to himself,
and for the sake of public example, brought a. com.
plaint against him before the 'orifices of the Peace,
who, having
.heard parties upon the questioni found
thelihel proven against the Shepherd, and in copse-
quenee thereof found him liable to 2os. :in name, of
grass mail for each sheep he had kept over the num.
tier agreed on, besides 20$. additional for each in
name ofdamages, and the whole capences of pro.
cess'; and at the same. time Intimated to him, that
if any ,complaints of a similar nature were again
brolght against him, they would commit hint to
hard labour in the House of Correaion.
