DIMES V. HART.

The defendant in this cause, a miller in Stratford, ap-
peared in person, and applied for a rule to alley:, cause
why there should not be a new trial granted, on payment
of costs, under the following circumstances;—The plain-
tiff is an attorney, and was employed to transact some
business by Mr. Hart, which was not conducted t o his
satisfaction. A bill was delivered and a sum paid by him,
as be contends in satisfaction of all claim that Mr. Dines
had; but soon after, that gentleman made an application
for 371. 2s. 6d., as the balance due to him. This
being refused by Mr. Hart, an action was commenced
in this Court, and was tried before Mr. Baron Bolland, at
the sittings at Guildhall, after last term. The cause was
called upon on the first day of the sittings, and no one ap-
pearing for the defendant, a verdict for the full amount
passed against him. He now made affidavit that he had
instracted an attorney to prepare his defence, which he
meant to conduct at the trial, in person, but through
some neglect on the part of that attorney, he bad not re-
ceived notice of the time when the trial would come on.
He also produced an affidavit from the attorney, stating
that he not being an atcorney of this Court, had employed
another one as agent, but on the notice of trial being de-
livered, he was called into the country on very particular
and urgent business, and in the burry of departure he had
forgot to give the instructions to either the agent or the
defendant.
Mr. HART, when he found that the cause had been dis-
posed of, made application to the Lord Chief Baron, at
Gray's Inn, by whom be was referred to Mr. Baron Bol-
land, who stayed judgment on the facts b,.ing laid before
him. The defendant now stated, that be had a good
defence, and was most anxious that the case should go
before a Jury.
Their Lordships, under these circumstances, granted
the rule.

Having got through the business, the Court rose at
twelve o'clock.
