This was the first day of Sittings before Michaelmas Term,
among the several common jury casts that were tried in the course
of the morning there were but few defended or of interest.

HARRISON V. JACKSON AND OTII/RS.
Mr. BROUGHAM opened the pleadings.
Mr. Pouocx stated the use to the Jury. The plaintiff was
a sort of general agent, and wee employed by a Mr. Special to re-
cover about 40 cwt. of soap, which had been seized under cir-
cumstances of suspicion. The plaintiff was to have a remu-
neration for hie services. He recovered the soap, but Spe-
eial was usable to pay the sum agreed to be paid to the
agent. It was then agreed that the soap should be deli-
vered to the plaintiff at the Custom House, which he was to
hold in the hands of a third person until the commission could be
paid. The soap was then-received by the plaintiff, and deposited
in the:hands of the defendants, wharfingers at Cox's Quay. Sub-
sequently, Special contrived to get a persoh of the name of Hunt,
to attach the soap, as his (Special's) property, being anxious, as
it was supposed, to get off hie agreement, to pay the plaintiff 831.
as the amount of his commission; afterwards, upon an indemnity
being given, the defendants delivered the soap without the plain-
tiffs order, either to Special or Hunt ; and the present action was
brought for the damage sustained by the plaintiff, from the im-
proper delivery of the goods.
Andrews proved the agreement to pay the amount of '
the commission, the delivery at the Custom-house, and the deposit
with the defendants.
Other witnesses were called by the plaintiff.
Mr. GURNEY'S ground for the defendants was,. that Special
being an illiterate man, and only having signed the agreement by
a mark, he had been imposed upon by not having know the
effect of what he had put his mark to ; and that, even giving
credit to the whole of the plaintiff's case, the plaintiff had only re..
"tired the soap as the agent of Special, and that he, as the prin-
cipal, had interposed the soap into his own possession.
The Jury found a verdict for the defendants.
that Mr. Harrison might?, if he
Pitsued, bring an action against Special for a reasonable compensa-
