•
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GenAwmat, Jews 11.
(before Lord Torresess end Comma Juries.)
Vacs V. sow.
This was an action for breach of covenant. It ap-
peared that the defendant was at one business as
a bookbinder, and received the plaintiff as his appren.
tic; it a premium of 19 guineas; shortly after, the
defendant made his business over to a person named
Williams, who sent the plaintiff away to his father with
a mote, saying that be bad Ao fOrther occasion for his
services, as be bad two other apprentices, who did all
he wanted. It was then discovered that the defendant,
in staling over the business to Williams, had neglected
to assign over to him the plaintiff's indentures. The
plaiitiff was afterwards apprenticed to& waterman.—
The defence attempted to be set up was, that the plain-
tiff's beilth would not bear the confinement of a book-
binder's business, and that it was on that account he left.
• Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 19 guineas.,. •
WILL AND ANOTHIR P. IBUTCHIDI.
This was an action on a bill of exchange for 4001. of
which the plaintiffs were indorsees• , the defendant the
acceptor, and his son the drawer. The handwriting of
the parties having been proved, ..
Mr. CAI/MILLI for the defendant, set up a defence
that the plaintiffs had given no consideration for the
bill, and that it was given to Messrs. Benson and Co.
from whom the plaintiffs received it as a security for a
loan of 4001. which they were to hold till the mortgage
deed of a fourth part of the ship Vanillia, belonging to
Butcher, jun. could be drawn up and given to them, but
that they retained this bill without the defendant's con-
sent after they bad obtained the mortgage deed, as a
security for a farther sum of 500/. they advanced to
Butcher, jun.—To support this defence,
Mr. Butcher, jun. the drawer, having been released
S
by his father, and his clerk, r. Rooks, were called.
They stated such to be the terms on which the bill was
given, Mr. Benson not liking to lend Mr. Butcher, jun.
the money without Kline security till the mortgage deed
on the ship could be drawn up.
The first witness, on his cross-examination by Sir J.
SCARLET?, at first stated that on the day the deed was
executed Mr. Benson lent him an additional 2901.
for which he merely gave a check for 3001. on his
hinter, but on being shown a check of his for 3901.
dated on the day the deed was executed, said he would
not swear that he gave any check for the loan of the
2904 He stated also that he gave no security for that
hiathind denied that the first loan was on the security
of the bill of exchange, and the second on that of the
mortgage. He stopped payment ! few days after. The
check he gave had never been presented for payment.
Mr. Benson was then called on behalf of the plaintiffs
to contraJict this evidence. He accused Mr. Butcher,
jun. of pet jury, and denied the truth of his statement
in every particular. He stated also that be met the
defendant a few days before the bill became due, and,
that he then told him he should not be able to meet it;
that be had not .501. in the house; and that he feareattie
must go to prison.
The payment of a check for upwards of 6001. ad-
vanced to Mr. Benson on this bill and other securities
by the plaintiffs was also proved. Irdid not appear that.
the defendant or his son asked to have the bill re de-'
livered to them when they gave Mr. Benson the lion-
gaftet deed.
ord TENTARDIN left it to the Jury to say whetbitH
the ill was given on condition that it should by of no
avail upon the execution of the mortgage? and then
whether the plaintiffs had given value for the bill? for
if they. had they would be entitled to recover.
The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs—Damages,
4091.

DAWSON V. MORGAN.
The defendant in this action was the acceptor of a bill
of exchange, which, when due, was dishonoured. The
plaintiff was an indorser of the bill, against whom an
action bad been brOught, and who hadlieen compelled
to pay the bill, the amount of which, however; lie after-
wards recovered. Toe plaintiff now brought this action
to recover the costs of the judgment that bad been sued
oot.against him in consequence of the defendant not
having paid the bill. It was entirely a question of law
for the decision of his Lordship; and Mr. Pauisan, who
was for the plaintiff, stated that he believed it bad never
been distinctly raised before. TbsLearnedCciunsel quoted
the case of Jones v. Brook, in 4th Tatum, page 464,
and of Smith o. Dudley, in Fourth Term Reports, page
691, in support of the plaintiff's right to maintain the
action. The formal proof necessary toaaise the question
having been gives,
Lord TINTERDZW said that he .was of opinion that
the plaintiff could not recover, and directed him to be
nonsnited ; but gave him leave to move the Court of
King's Bench to enter a verdict for.the amount claimed.
The plaintiff was then called.
PASCALS. V. HONSIAT AND ASHMOSS.
This action was brought by the plaintiff, a sail-maker,
to recover 2171. for repairs done to the ship Georgianai•
of which the defendants. were owners. Honley had
become:a bankrupt, and the action was defended solely
for Mr...Ashmore. The defence attempted to be lei up
was, 'fiat Mr. Ashmore had given notice to the plaintiff
to discontinue the repairs; but this failing, a verdict
was given for the plaintiff for. the amount claime6, prin
cipkl and iiiterest.
r. .IitkEROGATIVE 'COURT, JUNE ts.
Before Sir Joa■ NACHOLL.

'LILLeY v. LILLiT. ... •
This Was a question as to the validity.of a will exe:
cuted in October, 1827, by Charles Edward Lilley, de.
ceased. The will was propounded on behalf of the
deteised's mother, and was opposed by his widow, on
whose part it was pleaded that the deceased had de.
stroyed the will in question and died intestate. The
case now came before the Court on the admission of
the allegation tendered on behalf of the widow, in which
it was pleaded that the deceased' married in September,
1827, against the consent of his mother and brother' and
that they subsequently endeavoured to alienate his •affec-
tint* ftont,his wife, and misrepresented her conduit, sad
that the will was executed under impressions founded,
on those misrepresentations, bet that afterward the
deceased became conesmced of the injustice he bad, done
his waesitiit:hecli the, will, from his banker's, in whoa
hands it. was deposiutd,and destroyed it iodic ptereoce
of his wife.
Dr. Lusnrioron, on behalf of the party setting up
the will, objected to the admission of that part of the
allegation which referred to the conduct of the da
ceased's mother and brother subsequent to his merrier,
as wholly unnecessary in determining the only questsed
at huge, and delsolated to incur expense, which should,
be avoided, as the deceased's property only amounted',
to 3,5001.
Mr. Doneow was heard in support of the allegltion,
which the Court directed Gould be admitted, after being
tefornsoland' abridged in some particular parts,
