gentleman named Cecil, for neglecting to deliver a box and beta.
per, containing poultry and other perishable articles, sent off to
London by their agents at Manchester on the lvth lust. The
packages did not arrive in town till last Friday, and in cause-
queues of the delay in arriving the whole was completely spoiled.-
The Clerk stated that it was impossible at this season of the
year to prevent a little confusion occurring with respect to the
conveyance of tome parcels. The very extent of the complaint
could only reach to the delay of one day.
The Atnienatals was satisfied, from his acquaintance with the
gentlemen complained of, that they could have no wish to injure
any one. His opinion was, that the complainant and cotuplained
of would adopt the beat course if they were to arrange the matttw
between themselves. Probably Messrs. Pickford and Co. would
have no objection to return the.amount of the carriage. and to di-
vide with Mr. Cecil the loss.
After some little hesitation,. Mr. Cecil agreed to accept of a
sovereign from Messrs. Pickford and Co.
