LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'. BENCH, FEB. 13.
SPYLEY v. HIDE.
The plaintiff in this case was a hatter,- who sought
to recover from the defendant, an apothecary, the
sum of 111. being the amount of an account of fur-
nishings to the defendant, and to his son, a Surgeon
in the Navy, while he lived in the family with his
father. The account was proved, and the plaintiff
denied that he had any knowledge of the young
man's being of age, or that he was nut to look to the
father for payment.
For the defendant it was argued, that the son was
completely emancipated from the jurisdiction of his
father long before the date of the furnishings in
question. A younger son was examined, who stated
that he was present in October 1805, when his father
settled an account with the plaintiff, and informed
him that his eldest son was then of age, and that he
must look to him in future for payment of any ac-
count he might contract. A tender by the defead-
ant of the proportion of the account due by him, and
an offer on the part of the son to pay his account to
the plaintiff, were also proved.
It appearing, however, that the offer
tioned was not made till after the present
brought, the Jury gave a verdict. for
