This Was an 06tion of ratite: a curious nature.--;
The. plaintiff and defendant had been schoolfellows,
and about, a twelvemonth since, a dispute arose be-
t Ween them upon the subjeet of their respediVe
agv4, the defendant asserting that he was the,
yotingest,; and- that the plaintiff was the oldest.--;•
The osispute terminated in a wager of " a romp and,
dozen," which was to be paid by him who should
prove, by ad inspettion.of the parish register, to be,
the oldest. The wager was decided against the de-
fendant, who turned out to be five yea'rs,older than .
the. plaintiff'. Accordingly the defendant was called
upon to pay his " rump and dozen." A meeting
of the pereons Wlio.wituessed the wager was called, ,
and vne of whom, a Mr.' Keene, was deputed by
thu4fohdaht to fix the day for enjoying the spells
of wager. At this meeting the defendant did
not attend, but a splendid dinnei was ordered by
Mr. Keene, through another person, named Iford,
to, which were invited sift or seven other persons,
the friends of the parties. They were all eittremely
convivial on the occasion; but the defendant, whci
Was not present-at the, feast, afterwards denied the
validity of the wager, and refused to pay tthe tavern"'
keeper's
6M. wh;ch amounted to about 181, the
liquidation. vof which deok;ed upon the plaintiff.
The terms of thte wager in writing were pro-.
duced in Court, bueneither the.name of the plaintiff'
or defeedant were attached 'thereto, it being only.
attested by the signatures of the versos present
when the bet was mode. Sir JAMES MANSFIELD treated this dispute as a
very foolish and ridiculous sebjeot of. an aai" at
law, but, tieweVer, direr.ed the Jury, if they
thought the proof of Mr. CI icketes engogernetit
to
pay the debt sufficiently made out, to find their
verdict fueling! him.
The Jury found a verdict for the pla
