op the hatches and light part of the cargo with ama.
xing and deflrudtive force ; the adength fettled lower

deep in the water, While every alternate wave em-
broiled us ten feet deep; we clung to various parts of

and die men nvoggling to fare their wives and in-
fants; one Gentleman, however, quite defpaired,
and Tolle his life without tiling the fondle& exertion

Ile Plaintiffs are .lighterthen and granary keepers;
the Defendants are corn dealers. This was au atlion
to rec• vet a coropenfation for the ware hook ten! of i
a quantity of wheat belonging to the Defendants.
Mr GARIOW. for the Plaintiffs, Paid that this cafe
involved a moll important queltion, not only as it re.
fpefted his client', but as it regarded the whole corn
market 41114 metropolis. The decifion which the
Jnry would come to, was either to form new regula4
tious for the condo& of the corn trade, or finally to
eflablifh a cuflom which had hitherto been almiift
univerfally aced upon. The claim of the Plaintiffs
originally was for holding 3oco quarters of wheat for
fitty.three weeks, as p. per hundred quarters per
week. '1 his claim had, however, been reduced by a
payment of 341. into Court It was a prevailing

wheat to a granary, although from time to time he
might take away a part, yet until the whole was re-
moved, the owner of the when wassodefray the ex.

keeper. The Jury might. pet haps, on the firs blufh,
imagine that this dernao..l was uoreafonable ; but the
Learned Cooed would (hew to theirfat isfaltion. that
it was no more than perfons in the Plaintiffs' fitua-
tion had, by cuflom, a right to expea. The impor-
tation of corn differed in a great degree from that of
other merchandise, in as much as it always arrived
in fleets of (hips Udell with the fame commodil.—
Thus it occalismally occurred. that at the time of the
arrival of a cargo of corn, the market, in the tech-
nical phrafe, was gletted, and the granaries were foil.
It often happened that at Poch times a quick tale took
Om, and tametimes the contrary fo that the pe
rind that the corn might continue in the care of the
granary keeper was uncertain, and thus the cuflom
alluded to 1144 been adopted to reader the silk of
Cush peers's& as the Plaintiffs determinate. That the
charge was rearonable, the jury might judge from
the !mall demand which was made for the Loafing,
when for the tone quantity of coffee and other mer-
chandises, more than double the price was obtaiucd
for warehoufe room.
. Mr. Pita Cleland Ruding, Mr. Thomas Morley,
Mr. James Henningt Mr.. Richard Harris, Mr. Na-
thaniel Palmer, and blt. William Chipperbeld, were
then called, who all uniformly concurred in liming,
that if a perfon pieced moo° quarters of wheat in "a
granary. and reduced it to ten quarters, dill, until all
Was removed. the charge would be made as if the
whole had remained.
Lord Essartaoiounia laid. that loch a cuflom
could not be too violently oppofed ; it was again('
all common fide and atliliCe, and ought not to be
permitted in any country endowed with the light of
realm. It was peculiarly his Lordfhip's duty to take
care that no impofition was prailifed in an attide fo
neceffaty to human fuhfidence.
Mr. GARILOW Paid, that through the whole cafe hy
bad felt the plaice of his Lordfhip's remarks ; but
he fubmitted that it was tiill competent to him to go
into the coteltion of the gamtraw await ?
Various other witnefaisware then called who de

adequate compeofation:

datutin :his cached mot been fairly dealt with. It
had been onderitood, that the only quellioa to be
made was that repelling the cations. and to anfwer
that point the Defendants' evidence was procured.

The Jury had heard, that the ellabirlhed•chafge ie
the trade was five (billings per week for each hunii
dred•quarters ; and to that amount.l for all the core
which had been in the coflody of the Plaintiffs, the
Defendants had allowed, by paying 341. into Court.
and more than this the Plaintiff's covhi apt demand.
The Learned Cnunfd Paid, that he would prove by
the moll repeßable granary men, that five 'hidings
was an ample compenfatirm, and that no filch prac-
tice as that infilled on by the Plaigtiffs really exilted
in the trade.
