COURT OF EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, FEB. 4.

CRAWFORD D. LOCIIIIA. •
This was an Anion brought by the HonouraEe
Dutch Commiffioners, againil the Underwriter ,
on a Policy of Inftirance on eight Dutch fhips and
their cargoes, at and from St.-Helena to London.
Four of them were 1011, and the amount of the lois
claimed was 40 per cent.
This cafe was tried at Guildhall, before Lord
Chief Juffice KENToN, under whofe direCtion the
Gentlemen of the Jury found a Vordid for the
Plaintiffs. The Counfel for the Defendant tea-
dered to the Noble Judge a Bill of Exceptions;
and to-day this cafe was argued a fecond time.—
There were feveral points in the cafe, but die
principal guidon, on which there was a very un-
common difplay of abilities by the Counfel on both
fides, was, Whether the Honourable Comtniffion:
ers had am isfwrable Inters, at the time the Pour. War
diaed ? The Argument occupied upwards .f four
hours. The reply of the Counfel on the part of
the Plaintiffs in error, and judgment of the Court,
were poftponed to a future day.

.COURT OF KING'S BENCH, FEB. 4.

DAVIDSON V. BROOkS.

This was an anion brought to recover the Cum
of 38L sic. 6d. as the price of a quantity of old
round ropes, known by the name ofjunk, ufed in
the manufadure of paper, alledged to have been
fold and delivered to the defendant. In fupport
of the claim Mr. Paaaircalled feveral 'nineties.
who proved only the circumilances of the goods
having been put on board, and landed at Maid-
acme and their quality to have been good and
marketable.

Mr. Etyma', for the defendant, denied that
any fuck price had been agreed to be paid, and
that no delivery had taken place : he brought evi-
dence, both written and parole, to prove, that •
when the plaintiff wrote •itim, offering to fupply
him with junk, of good quality, at Cl. ss. pet cwt.
the defendant wrote him for anfwer, that he
would not give more than 61. and that if the
plaintiff would fupply him at that price, he would
take 4s cwt. provided it were of the belt quality.
That no anfwer had been returned to this letter
till about a month aftei it was received by the
plaintiff, when he wrote the defendant, inclofing a
bill of lading, at the rate of 61. ss. and mentioning
that the junk would immediately be fent. That
the defendant defired his fort to call, to inform the
plaintiff that he would not receive the junk at
that price ; and that that notice was delivered be-
fore the goods were fent off; set, however, the
plaintiff chute to fend them to Maidßone, where
they were placed in a wharf, and never taken de-
livery of by the defendant ; that his fon had teen
and examined the quality, and found it to be very
bad. The defendant had made offer to take it,
fine it had been fent, at 51. zos.which was refuted.
Lord Kam vom was of opinion, that the goods
having been fent off under the circumffances which
bad been proved, the rilk lay entifely on the
plaintiff.—The plaintiff was accordingly nonfuited. •

WADISOW V. HIM.

Mr. PARKE Rated, that this adion was brought
to recover the value of certain Bills of Exchange,
to the amount of 2961. 25. 6d. The Plaintiff had
become furety for a Captain Mean to the amount
of 7ooL and which fum he had been obliged to
pay, Captain Mean having gone abroad. The
Defendant had accepted the bills in queßion, in
order to reimburfe the Plaintiff: he therefore
Ihould put them in, and prove the handwriting,
and be entitled to a verdict for the amount.

For the Defendant it was [fated, that the Plain-
tiff was in poffellion of fecurity for Captain Mean's
debt, by means of having a tight to receive a pen.
lion which Government allowed Captain Mears,
nod. per annum, for Cervices rendered.—There,
however, was'no proof of this; and no other de-
fence being otered, the Jury found a vcrdid for
Plaintiff for 2961. 2s. 6d.
