FOR THIS SUN.

MR., EDITORTRNAX has said nothing material
in hislast Letter-that calls upon me for a tut thee
reply. 'He admita the force at my positions with
same :variapce- Of:expression, but not in sub-
stance; and on the credit oti iayllegal and
sophical, -intellectual .and moral character, I 're..
peat, that it does not at all affect the map I boa
drawn of our Constitution.

• It would .have been pleasing indeed if the ca.
dences in•the last paragraph of his. Letter haFt
harmonized .with the former, which deservedly
Alas my due respect. What I have written I would
;have said to himself.- Referring- him, therefore,
to a re-perusal. of• the whole, I am confident be
will approve it; .• •
He says •thse:Pialiaments are not the,Trustees
of the-People, anal, say they are, as a sublimuieci
p.rt, one and indivisible. He -says they are a
third part,, as it thvy -were melted in a political
-crucible, end I say they are the foundation of the
fabric that •ever was raised by human
ingenuity, and that reducing them to noshing
more than hewers of wood and drawers of wa-
ter; is to destroy the superstructure. Whoso
contends the contrary is an erroneous friend to his
conntry;
I say no more, except that I shall be glad to
" read,. On alty other subject, so mild and candid a
I writer as TFNAX.

ject of the defendant's resistance to the demand

Mr. GuRNgY and Mr. H. G. BAKER condneN4

tions, fount 4 a verdict for the plaintiffs.

AENNIR V. Vi'ALTON AND OTHERS.

This was an action tor work and labour done by
Mr. Rennie, the celebrated civil engineer, to re-
cover the slim of 1221. 1.5. 6d. being the amount
of charge for his trouble in preparing plans and
estimates for tie High Peake Junction Canal, in
Derbyshire, of the Committee for carrying the
sante into effect ; the defendants, were members.
The plaintiff's case was conducted by Mr. SCAR•
LETT and Mr. TINDAL, and the defendants' by
11,1 r. MARRYAT and Mr. E. LA.wss.

The case proved its evidence was in substance
this :—ln the year 1810, a plan was formed by a
slumber of gentlemen in the county of Lancaster,
for forming a junction canal from Derbyshire to
Manchester. Two committees were formed, one
in the latter town, and the other in London, for
the purpose of carrying the plan into execution,
ba soliciting subscriptions. Resolutions were
trained for employinr, a civil engineer to ex-
amine the level of the intended canal, and for
other ohjoets• The plaintiff waa, by a resolu-
tion of the London Committee, which was com-
posed of the defendants, appointed as civil engi-
neer, with directions to make his report to
them of the practicability of the scheme, &c.
He accordingly undertook the service, and his bill
having amounted to 1221. 15s. 6,1., he sent it into
the London Committee ; bite for a considerable
time the payment was delayed, the plaintiff being
referred from one member of the London Com-
mittee to mother, and from them to the Manches-
ter Committee. At length, lo the year 1816, he
made application to Mr. Walton, demanding pay-
ment. That Gentleman wrote an answer, stating
the hardship of his case in being called upon in—
dividnally to pay the whole demand, the plaintiff
not having beets employed by him alone. In the
result it became necessary to bring the present
action. The di fendants pleaded the Statute of
Limitations, and one of them, Bankruptcy. The
employment of Mr. Rennie was clearly proved,
as also the Resolutions passed by the London
Committee, of which all the defendants were act-
ing members. Mr. Walton's letter was relied up-
on, to take the case out of the Statute of Limita-
tions.

Mr. MARRTAT, in his address to the Jury. con-
tended that there was no evidence to make the
defendants liable, inasmuch as the Resolutions
passed by them were after the plaintiff was em-
ployed, and had reference only to future, and not
by-gone procettlings.
The case, however, went to the Jury under the
Learned Judge's directions, and they immediately
found a verdict fur the plaintiff.—Damages 1221.
Jss. 6d.

There was no other case of public interest tried.
