LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.)

EXCHEQUER COURT.
atoms V. PASTIMES.
This was an action for the recovery of a sum of 1567.,
brought by the plaintiff, a huntsman, against General
Shirley, late of the Turkish Cmtingent. The declara-
tion stated that the plaintiff entered the defendants ser-
vice as kennel huntsman, and to do all that was required
of him in reference to the hounds at 51. a month, with
food, clothing, lodging, and to give him a free passage
out and home from Turkey. The plaintiff pleaded—
first, that he did not promise as alleged ; secondly, that
he did pay and supply the plaintiff according to the
agreement ; thirdly, that the defendant did provide him
with a passage home, but the plaintiff refused to accept it,
and had discharged the defendant from such part of the
promise ; fourthly, never indebted ; and, fifthly, that
before the commencement of the action he had satisfied
the plaintiff's claim. It appeared from the evidence
that in the end of the year 1855 General Shirley was
about to proceed to Turkey, in consequence of the Rue-
eau war, when he felt disposed to take with him a pack
of bounds with which to wile away his leisure hours,
and partly, probably, as the learned counsel observed, to
astonish the natives. He accordingly applied to Mr.
Tattersall, who procured the plaintiff, and entered into
an agreement with him on the defendant's account.
The agreement was in writing, signed by the plain-
tiff and Mr. Tattersall, and dated 28th December,
1855. The plaintiff was to be paid 51. per month,
and provided with food, clothing, and lodging, and a
passage out and home. On the sth January, Mr. Tat-
tersall paid the plaintiff 51., and another 51. on the 9th,
for which credit was given. On the Bth January, the
plaintiff put the bounds en boarra vessel at Deptford,
and on the 10th sailed with them for Constantinople.
He arrived with them all safe on the 11th February,
and waited on the defendant, who sent him with the
hounds to a" place 40 miles from Constantinople. Oa
the 28th May he received a letter from the defendant
stating that he believed he had sold the hounds, and
would let him hear further. The hound■ ultimately
changed hands, but the defendant still continued to at-
tend to them, awaiting the defendant's further orders,
and it was on the letter, about which there
appeared to be a misunderstanding that the action was
brought. When the plaintiff got to Constantinople he
found the defendant had left, and was unable to avail
himself of a free passage home in a Government trans-
port. lie ultimately came home in charge of Mr. Ware's
horses, giving his services, which he reckoned worth
16/., and claimed of the defendant for his passage home.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages,
1881. 7s. 61.
