H-0.1:511i AND API/ HIM V. BOUGH.

This was an afti, n by the Ailignees of a Bankrupt
of the name of Pearce to recover the rum of toe
being the film which the Defendant had received by
the fate of the Bankrupt's effeos, after he had cons=
nutted the AR of Bankruptcy, in order to bring this
money hack to the general creditors.
Mr. Bevan, Clerk to Mars. Holme and Wilton,
and now Mailer of the Ceremonies at Vauxhall,
plowed that Pearce owed Mars. Hoime and Wilton,
f,r beer, &c. 1031. os. Ira at the time they were pe—
titioning creditors and the commilEcn ifrued agitina
Pearce, who had left his hou fe and never returned to
it.

The fingle cprellion was, •vhether Pearce was a pro-
per lubjeet of the Bank! opt Laws I •
Michael Williams proved that he bought of Pearce
at his public-boat, to be uelivaed out, owe hogfhead
of gin, and five Fallcris of rum, for ready money,
which Pearce Paid he fold in order to make up a bill
for fear of being arreed.
Mary Cabon lived three months in the houfe of
Pearce, proved, that fhe ufed to carry out beer to the
cultorners, and that once the carried out to a cti Romer
a pint of brandy, and fometimes half pints of gin, 8:C.
Mr. GARIMW, on the part of the Defendant, rib-
ferved, that he was a gentleman of torture, who had
generoufly advanced to Pearce every (billing that
Pearce ever poffeffed, to give him a chance of a live-
lihood in the neighbourhood tfthe Wed India docks,
and that failing, this Bill of Sale was given to the
Defendant, who fold the effefts. He frebruitted that,
Pearce was not a, proper fobje4i of the lizinkriTt laws,
and that upon the authority of a well known cafe de-
cided in the time of Lord Mansfield, Sanderfint o.
R.olls, by which it wa, held that a vianaller who
fends out articles in fu.all quantities, inch as he urn.
ally retails in his bottle, k not liable to the Bankrupt
laws—and it was well knot, n that a vienaller, merely
as filch, that is, if he fells liquor, dec. to be confunied.l
in his houfe, cannot be a bankrupt. Here he obferv-
ed that, altho' to his Lordlltip, or perhaps to hirufelf
it might appear, that a pint of toral:dy was mote tl:.►n
a cultomer was likely to con:time-v. ithin the houfe of
a publican, at onetime, yet he was afraid there were
many who, by diluting it, or perhaps w;o:out much
diluting, would not think it too much at a littitig ;
and if the jury. who (by the way) were better quali-
fied to form an opinion on that tile than_ even his
Lordlhip, thought hi, Pearce was not a fubjett of the
bankrupt laws. It ft), the Defendant was entitled to.
a verdia.

Lord I:LLINIWROUCH obferved, that a man felling
goods as a viflttalier for confutnrion in his own
hook, cannot be a lyankr npt, butt he mar frli goods,
fuel[ as wine and (Olio., to he confirmed out of his]
Houle, and to at, amount that would not be crtt•
firmed in the Hinge by the perfon purchatiug, and he
carries on a trade 01 that lout, he is a proper objea
of the Bankrupt laws. Here the publican did fell a
pint of brandy at one time to a cullomer, and he
would have fold more to any other v.hu might buy
of him, and therefore it feeritd to his Lordfhip that
he came within the weaninr: of the Bankrupt laws,
under which it had been de.:ided, that a Viattaller
may be a Bankrupt. As to his talc of the hoglhead
of gin, and five gallons of RUM, that could not fairly
be laid to be in the way of his trade.—Vcrdid for
the Plaintiff.—Damages total.
