. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEB. 15.
THE ICING v. RAwsoN, &c.
This was a proceeding instituted against the de-
fendants (Who at the ,time in question were bankers
at Rochdale, but now carry on business at Hud-
dersfield and Halifax) to try whether a sum of 349/.
paid to the defendants by a person. named Speerett,
was so paid by him to and for the use of the Crown.
An arrangement having been effected by the Com-
missioners of Excise, that certain bankers were to
be appointed throughout the country to receive the
King's duties and pay the amount into the Ex-
chequer (denominated returners), the defendants,
amongst others, were appointed for that purpose.—
In March, 1826, Speerett owed the Crown above
500/. for duty on printed calico; he was also in-
debted to the defendants for money with which he
had been accommodated at their bank. On the
evening of the 7th of that month he met one of the
defendants' clerks, named Wood, who 'reminded.
on which he ought to have
him that that was the day
paid in his duty. He auwompanied Wood to the batik ;
gave Wood 5304 and also handed him the duty
paper, which he had received from excise dicers,
asking him for a voucher in return.. Wood declined
to give any acknowledgment for the money, until
should see Mr. Rawson. Mr. Rawson having
come,
he told Speerett that the Bank could not pay his
excise duty for him "°"-• Wood then balanced
