At Lincoln Aflizes, which commenced on the t ith

recover the price of 1200 cockades, furnifhed to the
ufe and credit of J. Manners, Efq. at the time he
was a candidate with Mr. Butler Danvers, in 1802,
to reprefent the borough of Grantham. The delivery
being proved, it was for the defendant contended,
that they were not furnifhed to his credit, but on
that of Sir W. Manners,Bart. upon whofe interelt Mr.
J. Manners flood, and that the plaintiff had vitiated
his claim on the defendant, by delivering a bill of
the cockades to the agent of Sir William, made out
in the Baronet's name, and foliciting payment of
him. Evidence to that circa having been gone
through, the Learned Judge, in fumming up, re•
prefented the extreme hardlhip that the plaintiff
would endure, if his claim was rejeted, as no order
for the ribbons had been given by Sir William Man-
ners, and if denied compenfation from the defendant,
by whom the order had been given, all legal means
of enforcing payment would be fhut out from him.
