investigating the title were not recoverable ; bin at
the instance of the plaintiffs Counsel, he reserved the
point of law as t b the claim of interest.
The case came on to be argued upon the point of
law, when Mr. Serjeant PELL, for the plaintiff, cited
a variety of cases which merely applied to the princi.
ple of auctioneers Line liable to the payment of in-
terest on the deposits after it was clearly ascertained
that the title was defective. In the course of his
pleadings. the Learned S:rjeant expressed himself in
the most handsome manner as to the very great re-
spectability of the defendant in his professional ca-
pacity, but contended that in the present instance he
had so mixed himself with the particular circum-
stances of the case as to render him, as far as cue-
cerned the plaititiffv, in the light of a principal.
The Caine perfectly coincided with the idea which
the Lord Chief Justice expressed at the trial, and
were of opini..e, that the defendant, through the whole
of the transaction, coeducted himself as a mere agent,
and had never lost the character of an auctioneer,
holding the dedosit for the mutual security of the
parties concerned.
Mr. Setjeent Less far the defendant, was procee-
ding to 'hew that his client had not made himeeli a
principal in the transaction, in any way whatever,
when he wae late:mooed by
Mr. Jnoice Dettets, who said, that the Court
%%Ire unanimaus in their opinion, that the situetioe nf
the defendant could only be treated as that of a mew
agent. At the conclusion of his remarks, the L tarn- 1
ed Judge said, that he and his brethren would seLh
to confer with the Lord Chief Justice, as the raLe I
had been tried before him, and as it appeared to he
a case of very considerable importance to the pulsar:
He was, however, perfectly prepared to etate his opi-
nion individually, which he dill ley seyitil,, that am
tioneets generally were not liable lot the ieterest of
deposit:, lodged in their fiends, but that still stone pe-
culiar circumstances might arise which might att ici.
such liability to them. In the present caw, the de-
fend tilt h tying oily acted as an auctioneer, there
could be no pretence ler Winging such a charge.
Mr. Jest:ce l'Aer. said, that he perfectly con-
curred in this, Nl:bough when the length of time
which the defendant lied retained the deposit money
was fist mentioned, lee was a little startled; but
when he came to uuderstand that treaties had been
going on eluting the whole of the time, he thought
that it was the deafest thing in the world that no
liability cou:d attach to the Auctioneer.
Mr. Justice Statitoectis said, he was of the same
opinion with the two Learned Judges who had pie-
ceded him, that the defendant could only be con-
sidered as an auctioneer, nor could be considered tithe,-
wise unless he had expressly done something to divest
himsell of that cheracter ; neither could he at any
time be legally chareeable with interest till Ater a
demand had been made upon him. He begged it
might be understoed, however, that the decision of
himself and of the other Judges etas not to be con.
billeted as a risk generally, our was it to be absolutely
taken as a precedent in all other caws.
Mr. Jet .ice Detects then said, that though he
wished to conic n nil the Lord Chid Justice-, yet it
the defeedem's Coins 4 braid nothing further not,
the subject, he ftiiBlit t.03%11.1tir that as a ditectirei on

This was a case in which the Right Reverend De-
fendant, who was also claimant in the CAEC, de-
111411ded a catain siam et money as a compensation
for the lov; o: profits aii,ing horn the leases of cer-
tain pretn:s:s ire Netegate-ctteet. which, by the opera-
tion of tie Act et Parliament for the erection of a
new Post-Mice, are to be removed. The premises
ire quistion are held at lease for a term of twenty-cue
Yeats, by %rations iadivitioals under the Bishop of
London for the time being. The claimant demanded
a compensation not only for his own individual into-
rest in the leases, but for the general interest of the
See to tis probable successors.
The AtronN rr GIiNeRAL, on die part of the City,
contended that the claimant was entitled to no com-
pensation upon the general interest of the S_c, inns
much as that interest ceased from the in,amei.► cf the
passing of the present Act of Parliautt•nt.
Mr. Hannisos addressed the Jury at great length'
in support at the olaimart, in the course of which he
quoted many cases of a ►imilar descsiptioss. id which
a, compensation had been given fur the loss sustaine•d
in the general interest at the Sep.
The It tv.,iiionti. in his charge to the Jury. held
that the interest t t the claimant ceased from the mu.
ment tbf thy Act of Wing pi.secl. and
that, therefore. fur any leases granted subsequent to
that iscrioJ. or for tl.r general 'merest of the See, he
was entitled to no conercnsatiun.
Tay Jury, alter a shoat consultation, returned a
tershct awardirg to the claimant re9,t495. is. for the
individual inte:rst, allowing meshing for the general
interewl, or for the Wriest upon any leases granted
tatbusluettt to the passing of the Act.
