bricklayer, to recover of the Defendant, the keeper
of an illegal lottery, called a Little Go, the feat of
391. which he Paid his wife had expended in inftw-
epee, during his abfenee in the country. It appear-

gave him a serdia for that furn.

This was an anion brought by the Plaintiff, who
is a merchant in Rhode Mind; againd the Defendant,
a common carrier, for the non-delivery of one out of
31 boxes, which he undertook to carry from Man-
eheller London. The anion was tried upon ad-
miffions. It was admitted that the Defendant was a
common carrier, and that the agent of the Plaintiff,
on the sod* of July lall, delivered to the Defendant's
fervent. 58 boxes, addreffed t 3 Captain Soul, New
England Coffee Houfe, London. It was alfo admit-
ted that one box was miffing, and that its value was
601. 6s. 6d.
Mr. Gaaaow laid, he could not tell what the de-
fence could be. but as the common carriers had of
late made itch innovations upon the common law df
the land, he expelled Tome new law would that day
be let up ; he had, however, proved the Plaintiff's
cafe by the admiffions, and would not attempt to an-
ticipate the anfwer.
Sir V. Gists laid, it. was true that the defendant
bad admitted the receipt of the boxes, but he Ihould
prove, that Captain Soul called at the Axe lon, in
Aliermanbury, two days before the arrival of the
waggon, and afked•if the boxes were on the road
The book keeper Paid they were, and would be in
town in two days. The Captain Paid that was un-
lucky, as the (hip they were to go by was not ready,
end begged they might be kept in the warehoufe.—
The boolc-keeper replied that it was equally fo with
them, as their warehoufe was undergoing repair, and
they were obliged to warehoufe goods in another
place, where they were not in fo much fafety as In
their own premifes. Captain Soul made no reply to
this, and bent away, without giving any particular
diredlions • the Learned Counfel therefore contended
that the boxes remained at the Inn at the plaintiff's
own rifle.
Lord atansolovait differed with the Learned
Counfel, and laid, the defendant, to have difcharged
his liability, Ihuold have tendered the goods to their
direnion, and if not received, they would then have
remained at the office at the plaintiff's own title t that
not being the cafe, be thought the plaintiff entitled
by law to a verdin.
The Jury found their verdia •

This was an aftion on a Policy of Infurance, to
recover from an underwriter the average of the lots
fallained by the payment of falvage.
Ir appeared, that the fhip Mary, with her cargo,
confining of fugars, to the amount of 9. tool. and
upward*, had been configned to Metres. &Connors,
Mobile, by Croffman and Co. merchants in Jamaica,
as agents for the Plaintiff. in the month of June lan,
the Mary, having taken in all her cargo, proceeded
on her voyage, hot had not been long at fee, when
the was taken by a French privateer, in whofc cullody
the remained for a (bore time. She was in her com-
pany when the Flying Filh armed (hip hove in fight,
and, bearing down on them, took the privateer, re-
captured her, and !nought her back to Jamaica.— i
It became neeeflary to pay an eighth for falvage i
and the flip not being in condition to proceed on her
intended voyage, the was condemned in the Court
of Admiralty, and fold by public auftion. Under ,
this fele, Croffman and Co. who were the agents of
the Plaintiff, became purehafers of a great part of
the cargo, and remitted the amount. On this ground
the underwriters had refuted to pay the amount of
`the average lots, and feveral anions had been com-
menced in confequence.
Serjeant Suarneen, on the part of the Defendant,
addreffed the Jury at conliderable length, relying on
the circumflance of the Plaintiff's agent being the
purchafer, and in fad feller alto. The goods, for
aught he knee, we. e fold under value ; and, at all
events, (bould have been fent to Dublin after an eight
had been fold for the payment of falvage. From
thefe confiderations, he hoped to have the verdift in
favour of his client.
The Loan CHIEF Juavies addreffed the Jury, and
obferved, that according to the evidence, the (hip was
not in a condition to proceed to Dublin, and that (he
had been fairly fold by order of the Admiralty Court
in Jamaica, confequently Croffmen and Co. as well
as any other perfon, bad a right to become the pun-
