LAW .INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KlNo's sENCIT, JULY 17.

bIIAtIMCAII MOTALL O. 3/111.461-AFFIILe).'
The Plaintiff and Defendant were at Gibraltar
during the time of the melancholy difeafe which pre-
vailed-in that fortrefs.
' Mr. Easelnc, for the former, Paid, that his client
was engaged in the ufeful operation of eleanfing the
dwellings of the town, for which he received a dollar
per day ; that he was induced by the Defendant to
come over to England, and that he ailed on board a
114 in the capacity of a fervant to Mr. Affalo. The
Learned Counfel laid, he Ihould not be able to prove
a particular agreement for the precife wages or corn-
penfatinn the Plaintiff was to receive; but if he
Ihewed in evidence that his client acted in the caps.
city of a ferVant, the Jury would aflign to him the
proper remuneration.
Some witneffes were then called, who depofed that
the Plaintiff had cooked the vi heals of the Defendant,
that .they were both of the Jewifh parfualion, and
that their diet yeas prepared in a peculiar manner.
-.Abraham DaCotla gave teftimony to a promife by
the Defendant that lie would give the Plaintiff two
or three.guinens at a future time. On the latter en-
golfing of the former how he Ihould fuhfill during
the Pairttver, the Defendant raid, " You may pro-
cure fufienance how you can."
Mr. CAltkOW, for the Defendant, obferved on tie
CUftol7ll of perfons of the Jewilh perfuafion, it was
by no means to be inferred from one of them cook-
ing for the other that he was-therefore his fervant
that was .a matter of neceflity ; for they do not eat
of viEtuals cooked by Chrillians if they can help it.•
They not only cook for themrelves, but often kill for
their food alto, and here they mened together while
on board, as of comae. He knew the fcruples of per-
fons of this perfitafion to be (itch that at public din-
ners and inftitutions of charity they often attended
and made liberal and very hancifome contribution+,
but their victuals were brought to them, fealed up,
from perfons of their own religious petfuafion. It
was to be obferved further, that they have no poor
laws; and, therefore, the rich of them mull AC'
the diftreffed, which they did abundantly, and that
efpecially at the approach of the PafTover. It was
not to be fuppofed that on fuch an occatlon a Jew
in diltrefs, would be turtle,' away without auliftance
from the honfe of .Mr. Goldfmid, or any other opu-
lent perfon of that perfuafion, nor was it likely
to be the cafe with refped to this Defendant, for
he was opulent :•-•-•" I hope," Paid Mr. Gartaow,
" that I (ball not be enifreprefented in what I have
now raid, for the queltion• of religious perfuafion is
delicate. There are Tome Gentlemen here who give
accounts to the Public of what paffes in Court ;
I would defire of them, as a favour, that they will
not ufe their wit for me, for that is produtive of great
inconvenience; we feldom have cafes here in which
Come perfonal obfervations of Counfel are not &tor-
ted in reports of them; and things, in the nature of
wit, are let down which never peed. If they do report
any thing I fay in this Court, I with they would be
Co good as to do it faithfully, and let down only what
I deliver. I hope this is not an improper requell ; for
if any wit Ihould appear upon this occafion, it may
be fuppofed that I treated the religions perfuafion of
men with levity. When. Gentlemen indulge their wit,
they Ihould do it in their own name:, and not in the
name of another; and it may be fuppofed that I do
not make obfervations, without thinking that they
have fomething to do with the cattle." • .
Mr. ER s Kas E concurred in the fentiment his Learn-
ed Friend had expreffed.
Mr. GARROW added, he fhould make it evident,
that all the reward the Plaintiff was to receive, was
his conveyance free of expence to this country; which
was no inadequate compelifatinn, at a time when
every perfon was ansious to avoid the fatal effeds of
the difiemper that had thinned the inhabitants of the
fortrefs.

After the witneffes had withdrawn, and a fhort
charge from the Learned Judge had been given, The
Jury gave a verdiet for the Plaintiff—Three Guineas.

ARDEN V. ROWV EY AND ANOTHER.
Mr. GAuow opened this cafe, which was an ac-
tion for tool. The Plaintiff, a refpedable tradefman,
had difcounted a banker's cheque of the Defendant,
payable at a day fubfequent to its date, given by the
Defendants, who are perfumers, near Hatton Gar-
den, and who had an account with a Mr. Alder to
him for fume portable writing defks with which he
had furnifhed them. He took this cheque to the
Plaintiff, who gave him 801. in money and the ref} in
goods for it, but before he did fo, he fent his clerk
to know if the cheque would be paid when due, be-
caufe it could not be enforced, as it was not upon
a Ramp, which every cheque mull be, if payable at a
future day. One of the Defendants Paid, " the cheque
was regular, and that it would be paid when due, for,
that they owed Alder acol." adding, " let the poor
man have the money, he is need:Rimed for it, and
it will do him good, and that they would be parti-
cularly obliged to Mr. Arden if he would affifl Al-
der." Before the cheque became due, Alder became a
bankrupt, and Defendants refuted to pay the cheque,
infifting on its illegality, being without a Ramp.
This cafe being fo fworn to on behalf of the plain-
tiff, it appeared for the Defendants, by the produc-
tion of the accounts, that they were only 801. indebt-
ed to Alder at the time in queftion, and fbortly
afterwards only 71. and, therefore, as the check
could not be given in evidence, the only ciliation was.
whether the Defendants undertook to appropriate to
the payment of the Plaintiff, the balance in their
hands due to Alder, which was only Bol.—Verdia
for Plaintiff—Damages Rol.

RICHARD NOVELL •ND 01HFES V. JOSEPH DROWNING
The Plaintiffs are affignees of George Wardell.—
The Defendant hadatlached certain property belong-
ing to George Wardall, in the hands of Mr. De
Beaume, an enfurance broker, and had in conk-
quence received it, De Beaume having fuffered judg-
ment in the Mayor's Court to gn by default. The
Plaintiffs brought this anion to recover the value.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL laid that George War-
dall, whom the Plaintiffs reprefented, was engaged
in foreign concei us, and was owner of the (hip called
the May. This perfon proceeded with her cargo to
the ifland of Madeira ; but previous collie departure
he was in great pecuri?ry embarraliments, and com-
mitted an an of bankruptcy in December iboa, in
confequence of which the commilEon iffued. Dur.
ing the abfence of Wardall, Do Beannte cffeaed in-
furances by order of the wife of the bankrupt, the

• •
premiums of which amounted to three or tour hun-
dred pounds. Loffes occurred, but De Beaume had
unforttinately Riven the policies in confidence to Mrs.
Wardell ; the had delivered them over to Lewis and
Patk, and De Beaume could not regain the policies
until he had paid to the latter the funs of 2301. which
they claimed of the bankrupt. The objet of ac-
quiring thee policies was to recover the lots, the fhip
and cargo having beeninfured to the extentof 37 01.
out of which Mr. De Beaume might pay himfelf his
premiums, which he had no other chance of obtain-
ing. The Defendant learnt that the broker was in
the receipt of this large fum, and therefore proceed-
ed against De Beaume in the way of attachment in
the Mayor's Court, and the latter was obliged to pay
him. the fum he demanded of 3671. 16s. Bd. The
Learned Counfel contended, that this amount was
veiled in the AfEgnees, in cenfcquence of the bank-
ruptcy ; that on this account it mull be, in law, con-
fidered as money lent and advanced to the Defen-
dant for the ufe of the affignees, and on this principle
the prefent action was founded. The witneffes hay-
tog given their teflimony, and the commiffion of
bankruptcy having been produced,
Mr. Gaattow, for the Defendant, Rated objeflicno•
both of law and tail, to the claim now attempted to
be eftehlilhod. He Paid, the Defendant was a bold, Jule
creditor, and he had attached the property in the
hands of Mr. de Beaume, according to the form•
prefer ibed ; and it de Beaume were legally forced to.
pay the amount in confequence of the attachment,
the Defendant mull be entitled to receive it. It was
exaftly the fame cafe as if the Defendant had judg-
ment againtl Wardell, and fued out execution. The
Sheriff, in this cafe, would feize and difpofe of the
goods, and the prochice would be paid to the prefent
Defendant. Another circumllance was, that the af-
fignees were, in truth, notschtly autlinrifed. Wardell
had been twice a bankrupt before, and unlefs he paid
iss. in the pound, on the fecond commilhon, his for-
mer creditors were not precluded by his certificate,
and the prior allignees were not difcharped.
As the Learned Counfel was proceeding,
The SOLICITOR GENERAL interpofed, and Lid, ke
would fubmit a cafe in the mining term, on the de-
cifion of which the prefent verdict fhould depend.—
The law on the fubjed would be found in the cafes of
" Hunter and Potts," " Sill and Wortley," and in
that of " Philpot and Corden ;" the left of which
was fluted in the sth Term Reports, page 287.
A verdis was taken for 3671 17s. 6d. ((skied to
the opinion of the Court.

HOVILL, &C. b. PACK, &C.
This Was alfo an a&ion brought by the fame aft-
pees, to recover from the Defendants the furn of 3301.
alto the property of the bankrupt came.
It appeared that after Mr. Le Boune had executed
the policy at the defire of the bankrupt's wife, he en-
milled it to her cultody. She gave it up to the De-
fendants in fecurity of a debt due to them by the bank-
rupt ; and in order to regain poffeillon of the policy
le Boune was ohliged to pay to the Defendants the
debts wlsich the bankrupt owed them.
A Verdi& was alfo entered for the Plaintiffs in this
cafe, fubje& to the latter quation referved for the
confederation of the Court in Browning's cafe:
JULY t 6.
DAVID MCI AHDRAW KITCHELL.
The Plaintiff was formerly a warehoufeman in the
city ; the Defendant is the holt at the Angel Inn,
Wolverhampton. This anion was brought for the
fum of 621. as. td. being the amount of certain lace
and hofiery fold by the former.
Mr. Easeiss Paid, the Defendant, when the caufe
of this aftion arofe, was a hawker and pedlar, in
which occupation his brother, James Mitchell, was
alfo engaged. The latter had obtained a licence,
which by law was required for this Wines, and
the Defendant found it convenient to limp his own
tranfattions on his brother's privilege, fo that he-
himfelf polfefted no licence, but that of cheating
every body who had the misfortune of being con-
netted with him. In the year 1798, Robert Milner,
now a prifoner, was in the fituation of Traveller to
the Plaintiff, and this perfun recommended the De-
fendant to his matter, and the latter obtained the
goods in queflion on a credit of three months. The
property was taken away in a coach, and the Defen-
dant left his addrefs (at Somer's Town.) When the
credit expired, the Plaintiff expetted his money, but
he heard nothing of the man, until, in the year
iBot, he accidentally paired through Wolvethamp-
ton, called at the Angel Inn, and difcovered the
Defendant. Mr. Price did not think it prudent to
difclofe the fecret until his return to London: he
then wrote to the Defendant, reminding him of the
purchafe he had made, and requeßing a remittance
for the amount. To this letter an anfwer was given
in the following terms—

" Sir—l received your's of the 19th inftant, Rating a fum which
yeu fay it due to you. However you may be mifintattned, 1 beg
to fay I never knew your houfe, or faw your goods. I was foams
years ago in the linen-drapery way, have been fume years in the
public line, but I never knew you. The neat letter you fend, be
pkafed to pay the pottage (Signed) " ANDREI/ lIITCUELL.*
.Addrsffed to " Mr. David Price. No. ay, Wood-ftreet."

The Learned Counfel continued, the whole queA
tion would depend upon the identity of the Defect.
dant. ( The Attorney for Andrew Mitchell diitinet.
ly faid he was in Court, and would appear, when
he Was interrupted by his Counfel, Mr. GARLOW.)
Mr. ERSKINE returned, that he did not accurately
know what was (aid by the Attorney beneath him,
but it was perfectly clear, that if Mr. Andrew
Mitchell bad any defence, his own appearance in
Court would be the belt anfwer to the charge ; for
on a quellion of identity, there was fcarcely any
other way of arriving at a fatisfattory determinati.in.
Such was the fort et teflimony which his client had
fupplied in the caufe of yeflerday (fee our Report of
Abel v. Aaron Bray), as the molt fuccefsful means
of ::btaining )(alike between the pattieq. He would
produce the hand-writing of the Defendant, contain.
ing his addrefs at the time the goods were bought
he &Add alfo produce the letter of the Defendant, to
which he had referred, and another in the following
angular language :
" Sir—You have put me to the espence of another '
making an impudent demand upon me, charging the with
goods at your warehoufe, and with drinking wine at your
ills. I ftrv.r wa, at ZARA,' it, nl, rife. If you have any
and cboofe to proceed, I am ready to meet fo infamous a charge

The Learned Conniel laid, the perfun with wfu
the Defendant lodged at Somer's Town, for a

proved the addrels which Mr. Mitchell gave him
when he bought the goods, and when Mr. Priv ra.
quelled his addrefs.
Crlfs-examined by .14. GARRnw.—The witnefs laid,
Mr. Price knew nothing of this cuftomer of his, ex-
cept kenn his recommendation. He recommended
Mr. Mitchell to Mr. Price, and he gave his addref;
at Soma's Town. I did not know where he lived
in the country—l knew nothing more of him than his
bring in town once a fortnight or three weeks buy-
ing goods, and he paid fome cafh for them. Then
(rowed a long account of the but-niers between Mr.
Mitchell and Meff..s. Hill and Rickerby, and alto a
Mr. Henry, with whim he dealt for goods as a ped-
lar, hut none of them knew his country refidence,
(Illy that he came to town, and bought goods as a
pedlar. The witnefs then Intl fight of Mitchell for
five years, when he few him at Wolverhampton, to
which place the witnefs went at the inflance of Mr.
Price. He knew the Defendant there.
Mr. Paling, one of the warchoufe men of Mr.
Price, proved the goods in quellion were fold, and
the addrefs of Mr. Mitchell given at Somer's Town
by &fire of Mr. Price, but he could fay nothing to
the identity of the Defendant.
Mr. Rickerhy laid he was formerly in partnerfhip
with Mr. Hill, who is a prifoncr in the Giltfpur-Ilreet
Compter, at the fuit of Mr. Price, but now in Court.
This gentleman went through the account between
his houfe and Mr. Mitckell, whom they unified on
his own account, and all( let him have lonic goods
for a perfon of the name of Gowen, whom they ne-
ver fin.. The witnefs then proceeded to give an aC
cc:tint of his going down to Wolverhampton at the
:mien of Mr. Price—went to the Angel at Wolver-
amron, where the name Andrew Mitchell was writ-
ten over the cli.or. He went there in the morning
at nine o'clock—Mr. Mitchell was not within. The
ordinary was at one. the witnefs went out ; on his

in Itk hand, and knew him immediately :—" I. am

The witnefs then gave an account of his going

Portfmouth Fair, in hopes of finding him, as he un-
e:erfl ood him to ekal much about Arundel, Ched-

went often to Portfmouth ; but did not meet with
him, nor fhould he have known where to find him,

YEAILi•LL V. DRIVIR3.

The Plaintiff is a furveyor, the Defendants are
nurfery men in the neighbourhood of London. This
anion was brought for a compenfation for drawing
certain plans of two Oates in Sae:, and one in the
vicinity of Egham.
Mr. CARLOW Paid, that the Plaintiff was one of
the moll diliinguifhed artills in his profeffion, and
that he had drawn plans in compliance with the or•
ders of the Defendants, who were employed in mak
ing extenfive surveys by Government, under the di-
retlion of J. Fordyce, Efq. Surveyor General of the
Crown Lands. One cllate was called Panglean

Farm, confilling of t,083A. tR. 39P. another Pay-
-2,441A. oR. 211). and a third, comprifing
mere than double that extent, viz. 4,8c8A. For
thefe draughts the Plaintiff had only charged three
halfpence and two-pence per acre ; and yet this ma
deft demand was not fatisfied.
On the plans being produced, they were examined
by Thomas Cubit, a Land Surveyor, who depofed
to the exquifite (kill of this artift ; and laid, that for
plans fo finely executed, three-pence per acre would
Ifcarcely be an adequate remuneration.
Mr. gRSKINE, in reply, Paid, that what the Plain-
tiff performed was merely copying the rough plan
of the Defendants ; that he had nothing to do with
the furvey itfelf; and fur this labour he fhould fhew
an caplets agreement had been made, which had
been fulfilled by the Defeudants.
Mr. Edw. Driver was called, who faid, the Plain-
tiff was alone employed to draw a fair plan upon
vellum. The furvey iffelf was a prolix operation ;
it was performed by the theodolite, by chains, by
taking the angles of every inclolure with mathema-
tical precifion, and by perambulating each field, dif-
tinguifhing the hedw s, ponds, gates, patio, and every
minute particular.
Mr. ERSKINE—" By one queffion, my Lord, I
will finifh this caufe."
(Z._, Was there any agreement wiab the Plaintiff
re'pceting the terms on which he would prepare thefe
plans ?"—A. "He afked two pence per acre; this
propolal was objeaed to, and lie pofitively engaged
to execute the plans.which have been exhibited at
half that fum. I made a memorandum of the agree-
ment, which is now in Court."
Lord ELLE NBOROUGH..-." Here is a pofitive agree-
ment, to which thete is no anfwer. It would be ex-
traordinary it the Plaintiff could fupport the charge
made on the cufforn. Suppofing he were to prepare
a map of Europe, and to charge in this way, what
would be the magnitude of the expence ?"—The
Plaintiff was nonfaited.
JOHN BURNEY AND WILLIAM HUTCHINSON e. GEORGE
SAUNDERS.

The Plaintiffs were wine and (pink merchants, to
whom Samuel Saunders, the brother of the Defen-
dant, on the dilfolution of their partnerlhip, aEted in
the cacw:ity of an agent for doting their concerns.
"this action was brought on a bond of I °col. givt.ii
by the Defendant for the faithful difchalge of this
duty by his brother.
The SOLICITOR Gttraitai., for Mees. Burney and
Hutchinfon, Paid, that he fhould prove a balance due
from Samuel Saunders, the agent, to the amount of
4531. los. and he fhould produce the bond which
rendered the Defendant liable for the default of his
brother. The Defendant had put three pleas upon ,
the record : the fir ft was non fafiurn; the next, that
he had not received the money ; and the third, that
no money remained in his hands.
Charles Anderfon -was called to prove the figna-
ture to the bond. He laid that he faw it figned
the Defendant. On his crofs-examination by Mr.
GARROW, he faid he did bufinefs for flationers, and
that he was vulgarly called a hackney writer. He
admitted that he was not fober when he faw it exe-
cuted, and that he had Paid he had not feen is exe-
cuted ; yet on mature Tact:lion, after the rewipt of
the fubpcena to attend in this caufe, he remembered
diflinflly, that he had feat the fignature of the De-
fendant affixed to it. They gave him cylinder glares
of potent gin, and he was intoxicated, but not for
three days, as was reprefented. Cylinder glaffes
were long glades, but they did not drink on that oc-
cafion by the yard. Being preffed farther, he Paid,
that he had repeatedly declared, that he was too

drunk to go to the honk of the Defendant, and did
not fee the inftrument executed, for he was ton much
in liquor to fee at all. He bad, however, refleecd
on the tranfaaion, and he was now convinced thefe
repeated declarations were erroneous.
The SOLICITOR GENIRAL faid, under thefe cir-
cumflances he 11.. d no objeflion to refer the whole af-
fair to a Gentleman at the Bar, to an Attorney, to a
Merchant, or to any perfon that had acquired the
charaaer of an Konen man.
In the fequel, a verdia was taken for the Defen-
dant, fubjea to a reference.
RICHARD HASWELL V. WILLIAM THCMPSON.
This was an aftion brought by a carpenter againfl
the Proprietor of Tome houfes in Orange.ftreet, and
in King-meet, Holborn. The amount claimed was
19s. being the part unpaid of the larger fum of

SO. gs.
Mr: ERSKINE Paid, that his client had done this
work in the ordinary courfe of his trade, and that he
underftood the fingular defence was to be, a charge
for work done by tome other perfon in the Defen•
dant's own }mules. Unlefs Mr. Thompfon could
Phew that the Plaintiff defircd them to do this on his
own account, it was impotlible that any fet off cn
fuch a principle could be etlablifhed.
Before the witneffes were called, Mr. GARROW, for
the Defendant, propofed a refererce which, not-
withftanding the advice of his Contra, the Plaintiff
' and his Attorney pertinacioufly refilled. One cf the
witneffes was then brought forward, and from the
defeftive evidence, Mr. Et tkine was induced to urge
upon the Plaintiff to accede to the .proonfal, which the
Counfel on the other fide was then inclined to with-
draw. His Lordthip laid a few words, fignifying,
thattit appeared to him a fit cafe to refer, bur the
obftinacy of the party teemed infurmountable, and
the caufe was again continued. At tall, a fingular
difcnvcry was made, which terminated the affair. It
appeared, that neither the Plaintiff, nor his attorney,
undettlt.od the meaning or the term refertner, but
when it was property explained, by the affitlance of
Mr. Erfkine, they immediately concurred in what
had been recommended.

MATTHIAS V. ROULAND.
This was an action againft the Plaintiff for the
Elating of the military depot lately creed on nor-
fham Common, in Suffex, The Defendant was the
contr.raor with the Ordnance Board, and had em•
played the Plaintiff to (late the building. The Plain-
riff proved the work done, and that his charges, ex.
cept in one inilance, were the ufual and reafonable
charges of the trade.
The Defendant in reply, infdled on a fpecial con-
trait for a Gated price, and alfo contended that the
work was badly done, and that part svas obliged to
be relaid in cement ; but on examination of the wit.
neffee, it teemed that this was owing to the form of
the work which had not height enough for the fpan,
by which the roof Welt' was too flat, and the wind
forced the rain through the interflices of the flares.
The Defendant not being able to eftablith a fpecial
contract, the Plaintiff had a verdict for' 441. 2S. 7d.
alfo the 4cl. paid into Court.
AXE V. SIMPSON. _

This was an aaicon brought again% the Defendant,
a common carrier, to recover the value of a parcel to
be conveyed from Nottingham to London by the De-
fendant's coach, which had neither been fafely con-
veyed, nor kept fafe in the warehoufe. The Defen-
dant, however, obtained a verdict, he having affixed
up a Rotice in his coach office, that he would not be
accountable for goods 101 l or damaged above yl. va-
lue, unlefs paid for and entered as filch. The parcel
in quettien was not entered at all ; and the Court
held, that the Defendant was not liable, under the
fpecial contrail he had made with the public.
TAYLOR V. BURTnt4 _

This was an action brought by the Plaintiff, who
is a Coal Merchant, to recover from the Defendant,
an Anetioneer, and alfo a Dealer in Coals, the pro-
ceeds ariling from the fale of fume craft which the
Plaintiff had entrufted to the Defendant to fell. It
appeared that the Plaintiff had formerly cartied on
Winds in eopartnerfhip with a perfon of the name
of Wright. The diffulution of their connection,
however, had been notified in the ufual manner, and
the barges were delivered to the Defendant to be fold
as the Plaintiff's individual property.
It was contended for the Defendant, that it would
have been rather unnatural for the Defendant to fop-
pole the barges in queftion to be the individual pro-
party of the Plaintiff, when he faw the name—
', Wright and Co." marked on each. The Ltd was,
that the Defendant had b.en applied to by Wright
for certain quantities of coals, vWI which he fur-
nilhed him, trolling to the proceeds of the barges in
' his poffeaion.
Lord ELLsosolooc H fa;3, if the Defendant could
fhew any authority from Taylor, from whom he had
received the barges to difpnfe of, to give Wright cre-
dit on the faith of them, that would be a good de-
' fence.
This, however, the Defendant could not do, on
which the Jury found for the Ilaintiff.—Damages 1171.

The building called Wellmialler Market is to be
demolithed, and on its kite will be ereeted a new
Guildhall. The workmen began their operations
lag week. What they have destroyed of the Market
will not be regretted, but in digging below it they
toil at the foundations of the antient Sanctuary at',
Weamintler, which the Antiquaiy may now fee for
the laft time.
A man lately fold his wife and child to a hind at
Taxford, for five fbillings—the poor woman was
taken to the place of file, as is ufual on loch occafions,
with a halter round her neck. We have already ez•
poled the ignorance and ablurclity of the notion that
the halter legalizes the transfer ; all the parties are
liable to punishment in the Ecclellatlical Court, and
however convenient this fpccies of traffic may he, we
hope means may be adopted to reprefs a practice fo
injurious to the public morals.
On Friday afternoon a woman who had been in
the workhonfe, and on bad terms with her hufband,
took leave of him, never intending to return to him
again, expoled hcrfelf for fate in Smithfield Mar key,
with a halter about her neck ; the was rutin furreund-
ed by a multitude of people, but there were no bidders.
The conftables having orders to fupprets Inch isomer.
ral (caws, drove her out of the Market, and the re-
turned home to her husband, who felt himfclf greatly
difappointed on the c.ecation, hot to confute him the
promifed to go so a country market, whet: &staves
to meet with better thccrfs.
