He had underftood for fome time, that there worthy

that this action, like the former. was merely to put a
bill of colts into thofe mens' pockets; upon a eau&
where, if any damages whatever could be awarded,
it mull he the finalleft denomination of coin. The
Learned Serjeant inftanced two remarkable cafes of '

COURT OF RING'S BENCH, DEC. 4
r ism tit O. VALLOWS.
An ani in to recover a fum of money which the
Plaintiff had been under the neceffity of paying,in cod=
fequenec of his having become bail for the Defendant;
and in lurching for the Defendant, in order to forien-
der him in difcharge of his bail. It was contended
by Mr. GAR Row, that charges of fearching for the
Defendant, to furrender him before the bail was fiat,
was only matter of caution for himfelf with which
he had no light to charge the Defendant, becaufe this
might lead to an endlels expence—but
Lord Exesw &ammo ir held, that the relation in
which principal and bail Rood was this : the principal
impliedly promifed to indemnify the hail, to the
amount of the money the bail (hall be obliged to pay
on dccisiint of the principal. This form of anion was l
not of very old (landing. held foabout.4o years ago, I
in a cafe before Mr. Jußice Gould, by which it was
held, that a bail had an aftion againß his principal,
as far money paid, laid out, and expended for his ufesl
when laid out to furrender the principal, and the quef.
(ion would be, whether the Plaintiff in this cafe had
been reafonably put to this expel:ice for the purpofe of
furrendering the Defendant in difcharge of his bail.
The bail had a right to fin render the percent of the
principal, an 4 if he had a right to the end, he had al-
fo a right to the means to accomplifh that end, and
of comic a tight of action to recover the e xpence of
it.—Verdid for Plaintiff-91. 9s.
BPAL V STANDEWIC K.
An aftion upon a Bill of Exchange for 41. 7s. of
which the Defendant was acceptor. - But it appeared
that the Bill was drawn for 41. 4s. inflead of 41. S.
which bill was Rated to be on the record, and there-
fote the Plaintiff was nonfuited.
NORTON V. PHILIPS.
Mr. Eames Uhl, this was an affirm upon a Bill
of Exchange againft Mr. Henry Philips, a glafs•cut-
ter, in Cartwright-ftreet, who appeared to be a con
fiderable knave, and, what happened very frequently,
thank Goo, was in partnerfliip with himfelf, alfo a
confiderable fool. He had a brother of the name of
Aaron Philip., who was alit a vials cutter, and they
both cut pretty deeply. Aaron Philips was the
drawer of the bill, and being indebted to the Plain
tiff in a turn of moi,ey, and wanting (tune more
goods, offered to him this bill of exchange, but the
Plaintiff refuted to deliver the goods upon the credit
of Aaron ;on which he laid his brother Henry would
accept the bill, which was for thirty 1. minds ; on
which the Plaintiff agreed to part with his goods.
Aaron went away, and brought back the bill accept-,
cd by the name of Henry Philips, but the Pidintiff I
obferviog a difference between the fignature to the 1
bill by the drawer, and that of the acceptor, woold
nut credit it until he had acted Henry Philips, if the I,
acceptance was his ? and lie faid it was his accep-1
tance, on which the parted with his goods.
Soon after Aaron failed and ablconded, and now the I
Defendant laid his brother had committed forgery.
Now it was immaterial whether he had or not—he
admitted the acceptance aas in the hand writing of
Aaron Philips, but Henry had acknowledged it to
be his acceptance, and by that acknowledgment lie
was bound to pay whether a forgery or nu:, as had
been held by my Lord Kenyon.
This cafe was clearly proved by two witneffes—on
which
Lord Etetwananoon laid that it was imooffible
to make this a forgery, for as the Defendant had ac-
knowledged it to be his acceptance, whoever wrote
it, it was an acceptance by his procuration.—Verdia
for the Plaintiff, damages pl.
POTTI, V. GRIM.
The Plaintiff, a Milliner, lodged in the bottle of the
Defendant, who is a lady's fhoe-maker. The Plain-
tiff and fome other ladies, who lodged its the fame
houfe, had fome flower-pots, which requiring to be
watered, it fell on the (hoes of the Defendants and,
as he si!..edged, injured them, on which lie pat up the
board to prevent the water falling as it had done.
Thefe Ladies got a hammer,'t he peßle of a mortar,
a chiffel, and forme other implements, to take down
the board, which was the confide of the Raircafe win.
dow ; they did In, and the Defendant came np and
threw the implements in at the window, one of which
hit the Plaintiff, whom the Defendant was faid to
have pinched by the arm, upon which he was taken
before a Magistrate, for the affault; but that charge
was siropt, and an ailion brought tor damages.
Lord E LLLLL °ROUGH advised the Jury to difeou •
rage this Ipecies of litigation, by a veruia for a (mall
furn. A Surgeon was talked of, but not called, his
Lordflaip fdid only becaufe his evidence would have
made the cafc ridiculous.—Verdia for the Plaintiff,

This was an affion brought by the Members ar a
Judaic Poilraniva Prayer Society, to recover from
Motes Cohen, the Defendant, one of their Members,
and a/Fling as their treafurer, the fum of 71. os. 4.d.
being a balance in his hands, which he tefuted to de
liver up. The objc of this Society was, that any
Member having a parent, wife, hatband. or child,
dead, thould have the advantage of the prayers of
tea religious perfons offeted up to Heaven for the de-
ceafed, tor (even focceffive days, inceliantly, after the
demife ; Inch religious perfons to be remunerated
from the fubfcription fund of the Society; and for
declining to difbutfe loch remuneration, or to furreu•
der the above balance in hand, Mr. Cohen was In.
perfeded in his office, and the prefcnt anion brought.
The Court, however, was of opinion. that the ac-
tion could not be maintained, as the Defendant mull,
as a Member e idle Society. be confide' ed a Plaintiff
atfo, and could not be Adibilted as a tuitor againfl
