OARRATT W. LORD CHARLES TOWNSHEND.

This was an action brought by the executors of the
late Mr. Garratt, jeweller and silversmith, of Panton-
street, Haymarket, to recover from :he defendant a
sum of 1:1358 12s. Ild. The defendant suffered
judgment to go by default, and the present enquiry
was for the purpose of assessing the damages. From
the evidence for the plaintiff it appeared, that previ-
'ously to the 24th of June, 1817, the defendant was
indebted to the late Mr. Garrett in the sum of re33B
12s. 11d. and that on that day, there being a grand
drawing-room, he purchased of the deceased a dia-
mond necklace for Lady T. at the price of £lOOO.
In about six weeks afterwards he brought the neck-
lace to the deceased, who entered it in his plate and
jewel book, and locked it up in the strong room, in
which were usually kept for safety the. plate and
jewels of his customers, and where it now remains.
Mr. CHITTY, for the defendant.•;tated, that there
Was no objection to pay the &338 Iss. Ild. but
that the defendant was not able to pay the 110b0;
because, after the defendant had made the purchase,
the deceased called upon the defendant's attorney, to
be secured for his debt of 1:338 12s. 11d. and having
informed him that the defendant had
.within a few
days purchased the necklace, the attorney
,acquainted
him of the embarrased state of the defendant's affairs,
and advised him if he could to get back the necklace,
as there was no.'probability of the defendant's being
able to pay for a considerable length of time. The
deceased afterwards .called upon the attorney, and
told him that he had taken his adiice and got b:rck
the necklace. .
The defendant's attorney, Mr.VA cnsafrorr,proved
this itatement; but he admitted a letter ',hewn whim
by Mn. Gurney, and dated in March, 1818, to be in
his hand-writing.
This letter having been put in and read; turned
out to be a circular addressed by the witness (one of
the defendant's trustees) to the creditors, stating an
account of the effeets .of•the defendant; in whish!
account the necklace was stated to base • been depo-:
sited with the testator for safety.
Mr. CHITTY having addressed the Jury for the de-•
rfenclant, ' 4
Mr. Gums, for the plaihtiff, -contended, that the
condect of the late Mr. Garratt was that of a man

who. had the necklace deposited witlt
and not of a man who had tescinae;.l.
v iously entered into. •
