LEE V. WALKER AND SONS. ;
This was an action brought against the defendants
to recover a large sum of monoy, being the differ-
ence
between the contract price and market price
lof a quantity of hemp, with which the defendants
had failed to supply the plaintiff, according to con-
tract.
This cause occupied the time of the Court for seve-
ral hours, in consequence of the variety of evidence
adduced on the part of the plaintiff, in order to shew
that the defendants had the power, but not the incli- •
nation, to fulfil their contract with him.
The defendants had contra'c'ted to supply the plain-
tiff with a certain quantity of superior hemp, by the
first arrival from Riga ; and, upon. a second contract, ..
to supply him with hemp of a more inferior quality,
all which the plaintiff charged the defendants frau- . i
dulentiy to have neglected, although they had the '
means so to dc.
A great deal of evidence was gone into to trace . .'
the property in a large quantity of hemp which had
arrived by different vessels to the defendants, in order
to shew that they could have fulfilled their contract;
but neglected doing so in consequence of the price of
the article being raised.
On the part of the defendants, however, it fully ap-
peared, that they had fulfilled the contracts, on their
part, to the utmost of their ability; and the impirta- .
tion of fraud charged against them was acknow-
ledged by the plaintiff's Counsel to be wholly done
away. •
The Jury, therefore, found a verdict for the de- .
fendants upon the first contract, and the second was • ,
referred to arbitration. ,
LEVING V. KREUSE. •
This was an action brought to compel the defend-
ant to fulfil his contract with the plaintiff, by accept.
ing 20 tons of tallow for which he had bargained
with the plaintiff ; but it appearing in the course of
the evidence that the plaintiff had subsequently relin-
quished the contract, by cancelling the terms in the
broker's book, he was nonsuited.
