MONAN MICK Alilp TUX COMPANY.
HAMWA.IUp AND OYINIMIN this case,
%Piave Henry Hayward, W. 'Stewart, and Rees Pike,
are*, plaistiffs, and Lemuel W.Wright, the defendant.
Tbe action wasbrisight for the mower y ,of 200 i. due on
a provisory note; the defendant pleaded the general
issue, and also put in a plea of release; to which the
plaintiffs- rejoined, that the supposed release was ob-
tainestby fraud and coven; Ibis was denied by the de-
koala*.

In 1545 • the defendant projected the above-named
Company, and caused a prospectus to be drawn up, an-
nonacinp to the public that die Company would make
bricks, tkunlimited quantities, of the most superior
quality. It was stated that bricks nearly equal to stone
were itilloe nude with the greatest celerity, and that
no change of season could affect or impede their mano-
fa.c,ture; ga fact, no builder could resist building with
them. The Company, moreover, was not to consist of
menorPi±§ti ; they were willing to extend the blessings
of thar'inveatioe, and to make as many bricks as the
world could use. Many apparatus had been procured,
but then a hide money was wanting—nothing could
geets *e*l without it. Inthis state of things, the de-
fendant, who was the inventor, the patentee, and the
Lard knows who beside, of this wonderful brick-Making
machin4which was to produce fifteen bricks inn minute,
had recorarse to the plaintiffs. They at first would
not canseat to connect themselves with the'projecOut

1901. upon your proinissory note. payable at the expi-
ration of two mouths. And if all your iippar-atos is hot
fiaished by the eud of that time, so as to make fifteen
bricks is a single minute, you mast pay us 'the money
Which we advance." The defendant, who was very glad
to get the Mersey upon any terms, acceded to this sr•
raagement; be pocketed the2ool. and gave the promis-
sory note which was the subject of the present action.
The two months elapsed, and no bricks—time passed
on, and still no bricks. At last the plaintiffs began
to infinite atter the machine—they went to see it at
the defendant's factory, near the Coburg l'heatre—
they saw the apparatus, which bad only this devastate
from the original plan, that instead of snaking fifteen
bricks in one minute, it produced one brick iu fifteen
minutes. The plaintiffs Onsasediately perceived that all
was not right; they proposed that the machitie should
be inspected, and that it should be tried in some large
brick-field. The delendanewould not consent to this;
ig fact, with hint words were plenty; but bricks and,
money were very Truce.. His constant cry was " don't
be impatient—a little improvement, and all will go -
well yet.' At last as action was brought against him
by the three• persons who entrusted him with the 2001;

Mr. ASoLeathes Wan appeased for the plaintiffs, eau-
twisted that this release was fraudulently obtained from
the pisiotilif Stewart, and that the two other plaiatiffs
nonki not be igcluded in it. According to the agree-

plaintiffs, he was to have Ss. for essay thousand Wicks
