COAL TltAbi:

DAVEY AND ANOTHER Eh Lowe.---gr. Etyma
!fated to the Jury the courfe of the Coal Trade, out of
which this caufe arote. Coals were fold either by
pool or wharf meafure. When by pool meafure, the
party buying was entitled to what was called the in
grain, that was, one in twenty. In meafuring coals on
board a (hip, the bufhel was not employed ;but there
was a meafurs tiled called a vat, which vat contained
nine bufhels. This vat was fixed in the !hip, and
perfons were employed to raife it up after it was filled
with coals, and to cart it into the barge or lighter
that is alongfide the !hip, nut of which the coals are
taken. The Coal Meter takes his Ration, to fee both
the filling of the vat, and the !hooting of the coals '
into the barge. Any perfon may purchafe the whole
in the veffel, but they mull be all meafured in this
manner, becaufe the duty upon the article is collefted
from the meafure thus taken by the Meter, he is the
Meter between the buyer and the feller, and alfo be-
tween them and the public ; not only fo, but he
was often brought forward as a witnefs, when
any fraud had been praCtifed in any of the fubfe-
quent Rages of the fate of coals. The barge into
which coals are thus flint, is divided into rooms,
containing generally, from five to ten chaldron ;
a room of five chaldron containing 189, and that
of ten 378 bufhels. The preterit Plaintiffs to.d pur-
chafed all the contents of a veffel called the Seven
Brothers ; they had had occafion to obferve, more
than once, that fhort meafure had been given to them
by means of the metage of the Defendant, who was
a public Meter in the Pool. They faw, by what
had frequently palled in Courts of Jullice, what was
intereiting to us all, that many dealers had large
penalties anfiksled on them, on account of delivering
coals fhort of meafure ; they were apprehenfive
they might themfelves become vittims in like man-
ner by the fraud of another ; and therefore they
refolved to do their belt to detect it. Their barge
was brought to the Seven Brothers, for the purpofe
of receiving thefe coals fo purchafed. The Defen-
dant took his Ration as the Meter, the coals were
meafured ; andfrom what one of the Clerks of the
Plaintiffs few, they were fatisfied they had not re-
ceived their full meafure ; and here, Mr. Elaine laid,
he could not make the charge againtt the Defendant
fhort of fraud, for it was obfervable that he was paid
in proportion to the quantity of the coals meafured,
and therefore, the znorehe made of them, the more he
got for his trouble. Fraud it muff be, or elfe culpable
negligence; and when the quantity meafured in this
cafe came to be confidered, and the deficiency found
upon remeafurement, it would be very difficult, if
not impoffible, to acquit the defendant of fraud. In
this barge there were two rooms to be filled, a middle
room and a head room, one of which ought to have
in it 039, and the ether 378 buthels, or 21 and 42
vats, and would have had thefe quantities if the
Coal-meter had done his duty. As Coon as this pro.
sets was over, and the defendant had finithed his
work, the plaintiffs' clerk informed him that the coals
thould be remeafured. If they had not given him
notice, but had meafured them again behind his
back, he might have had juit realon to complain,
and to have Paid, st I ought to have had as op-
portunity of meeting my accufer, face to face ;"
but he had full notice of it inftantly as be had
done, and he might have been prefent at the re•
meafurement if be had pleated. The Plaintiffs did
not with to conceal that they tent their clerk on board
to detect this fraud, for they bad before been imputed
upon to an immenfe amount, and they fufpeftedrbat
the Defendant, who was paid according to the
amount of the coals meafured, might have profited
a good deal in that way, befides the private touch be
might receive from the feller alto, who profits like-
w& by this pradice. Now, he wifbed the Jury to
confider the condition of the plaintiffs in this cafe.—
Suppote they had no futpicion`of this fhort meafure
being delivered into their barge, and they had fold
there coals exactly as and for the quantity they
bought, and the buyer had had them re-meafured,
and they were found deficient, (for deficient they
were, as be Rioald Rate prudently) and an anion bad
been brought againß them for the penalties o(the law,
this very man who had thus defrauded them, would
have been railed up as a witnefs to prove at once his
own integrity, and to fallen his own fraud upon the
prefent Plaintiffs. The Plaintiffs bad therefore abed
prudently in deteaing this befinefs, and they did it
fairly, as the inflant they gave the Defendant notice
they intended to have the coals re.meafured without
delay. The coals were accordingly reatteafured, not
by any pafons who might be fuppofed partial to the
Plaintiffs, but by two Land Coal-meters of the city
of London, and two of the fame defcription of the
county of Surrey, of the names of Bigg, Bifhop. Lee,
and Bradtree; by whole joint memorandum, figned
by each, it appeared that the coals in queßion, pro-
duced, in all, 357. initead of 378 bufhels, a defici-
eney of 21 bullets.
Upon this cafe, the firft confideration would be
this, whether it was peifible for the jury to account
for Poch a deficiency, without imputing to this De-
fendant either corruption or grata negligence i He
was a pertain, who not only was (worn to do Mlle*
between the buyer and the feller, but he alto repre-
tented the public. However, if there was any way of
accounting for this, Sort of corruption or grata oe.
gligence, or if the cafe hung in the kale fo as to be in
the haft doubtful, be not only ()mold not able& to the
Jury finding a verdiA for the Defendant, but he, as
reprefenting the Plaintiffs, intreated them to do In ;
for in (itch a cafe, to (peak the language applicable
to the pool mature of coals, the Defendant would
be eatided to the in-grain of the judgment of the
Jury. Bat if, on the other hand, the evidence thould
be as be Rated it, the Plaintiffs would be entitled to
a verdid, however hard fuch a verdia might profs
on the charatter of a man in tech a truly Ration of
life, for jußice man be done, and that could not be
accomplithed without deeding and expofing guilt.
Mr. Goias took an objeCtion to the declaration, in-
fißlog, as the Defendant had been defcribed as one
of theierws, that it was a nsildefcription. He be.
ing only e meter appointed under the authority of the
principal meters. His Lordihip, however, overrul-
ed the objeltion, sad the cede was permitted to
proceed.
Joreph Barber, a coal fa&or, was then called
to prove the purcbafe of the cargo of the (tip Seven
Brothers by the Plaintiffs, which took place oa the
4th of March, I 1105. He added that the meter's pro-
fits were in proportion to the quantity the (hip con-
tained.

&billion. Clerk to the Plaintiffs. taw the

tbals mearined into tile lighter; Lave was the meter.
When the barge was filled, he received a ticket from
the Defendant. The ticket exprelfed, that ten chat-
drons, and two vats, being the ingrain, had been de-
livered to the order of the Plaintiffs. He then told
the Defendant, he fhoilld remove the barge acrofs
the water and meafure the coals again, as he thought
they were deficient. The Defendant took no notice
of what he faid. The coals were re•tneafured, and
Wind of having 378 bulnels, there Were of ly 357,
being 2 t fhort.
On crofs examination, he raid, that the coals sere
meafured by land meters, and that he did not apply
to the Sea Coal Office.

John Burgoyne had attended the fhlp's delivery
for the plaintiffs; and thinking the vats were not filled
fufficiently, acquainted the plaintiffs, who refolved to
re.meafure the ncxt quantity delivered. When the
lighter was filled on the loth of March, after ac-
quainting the meter of his intentions, the coals were
re-meafured. He never quitted the barge till all was
done, not a coal was fubtra(led, and the admeafure-
ment was fair. The build wa, the one ufed on all
limilar oceations, and was fo conitru6ted, that more
than the buffiel could not be taken up.
On erofs-examination, the witnefs faid, he did not
tell the defendant that he was givi;,,; (hurt meafure.
He thought it was of no we, the meter was (-worn to
do juitice, and thould have done his duty without be-
ing reminded of it.
Biggi, a deputy coal meter at the Surrey
Office, was retplefied to attend the admeafurement of
the coals in quellion. They were admeafured by a
bail bufbel, which cuts off the coals that might other-
wife be heaped up, and prevents there being more
than meafure. It was the moll corral way of mea-
luring. He found in one chamber ;a bulhels &ore,
and in the other 9 Witch fhort. If the plaintiff had
fold the to ehaldrons according to Pool meafure, the
buyer would have been at buthels tbort. The defi-
ciency, be added, could not have happened, miles
negligence or fraud had been ufed. He bad trsea-
lured coals before of the fame defcription, and foetid
them over and above the real meafure required. The
meafurement by the vat would give the larger quail.
tity. . _ _

Lee, a fworn meter at the Surrey Office, Bi (hop and
Bradcree of the City office, corroborated Biggs's
evidence.

Lord ELLIN Bosounn anted Mr. Glass, ifhe could
exempt the Defendant fro:Le:isle ligence ? If not, the
time would be taken up y ra entering on the
defence. -
Mr. Class thought he could wholly exculpate the
Defendant from either negligence or fraud. The
Learned Conniel then entered on the defence,arguing
that the re-admealurement of the coals thould have
been at the fhip's fide, and by the fame meafure as at
first meted. The motive of the anion was plaid; and
as the meters had been the infiruments by which the
public in many aftions had detetked the frauds of
dealers, the complaint before the Court 7:al:A
The object of re.meafu rement was, that the
should not pay for more coals than they received;
yet the Plaintiffs had not dedaded any thing from
the regular charge made to thein,plainly (hewing
that their tibial was punifliment. They might have
brought their :Eliot' for the difference of vidise, ii
the quantity fent and the quantity charged, but in

He, therefore, united that the Jury would fee the
cafe in its proper light, and not find an individual
guilty of fraud who never, intended any ; or of negli-
genes wben the proof of it, if any, had been afar-
tamed behind his back. The coals were tibt ateaftured
by the vat, as they ought to have been, which walk
