LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, MAY 25.
WILLIAMS ANTI Mitt, 11. WILMAX.
Mr. Sergeant WlLuz (Mr. Campbell with him) stated the cam.
The action was brought by the plaintiffs, who were bankers, to
recover 50L, which had been paid by them to the defendant in

error.
The facts of the case were these :—The defendant kept cash
with the lute firm of Williams, Williams, and Co. The accounts,
on balancing of that firm, were transferred to the new firm of
Williams, Deacon, and Co., and among them that of the defendant.
In the passbook of the defendant there was inserted,' on the
17th of July, 601.: on the 17th of August there was also 601.
The pass-book was made up by the bankers in the month of No-
vember ; at that time the last entry was on the 17th of July, and
the first entry that followed, when made up in November; was
that of the 17th of August. The new firm of Williams and Co.
commenced on the 2d of January lasts on the title the defendant
took his pass-hook to them to be suede up, it was made up, and
the clerk making it up discovered the error of the bob, and that
the entry of the 17th of July should have been the 17th of
August. It was clearly proved that there was but one 501. paid
in at the bankers; that there was no other entry of WI. in their
cashbook, into which entries were immediately made when mo-
nies were paid in by their customers. When their clerk disco-
vered the error, be struck it out in the pass-hook, and the
defendant remonstrated with Lim for so doing, and insisted that
he paid in the money himself ;• but It turned out that the 17th
of July was on a Sunday, and consequently,with the bankers
dies non.
Mr. Sergeant Apex (Mr. Hutchinson with in support
of the case, called the defendant's son, who deposed that lie se*
