SMALL DEBT ACTS.

Mr. Maori. spewed cause against a rule obtained
by Mr. Nolan a few days since, calling on the plain-
tiff in, an action tried before Ellenborough at the
Sittings after last Term, to chew cause why a sug-
gestion should not be entered on the Record, under
the Act of the 46th of the King, entitled an Act
for the more easily collecting of small Debts within
the Borough of Southwark, by which Act it is pro-
vided. that if any Action shall be brOught in any of
the Courts of Westminster Hall, on causes of Ac-
I lion originating within the said Borough, for sums
not exceeding 45, the Plaintiff in such action should
net be entitled to his costs.
Mr. ABBOTT, ill chewing cause against this rule,
contended that the present case came neither within
the letter nor spirit of the Act. It was an action for
work and labour, which divided itself into two parts,
consisting of plumbers' work and painters' work .
The account for plumbers work amounted to £9,
and that for painting to Ell. From the amount of
the account for plumbers' work, however, the plain-
tiff had to make a deduction, or rather to give cre-
dit for the old lead, which reduced the claim to £3.
In the demand for the painter's account, the plain-
tiff entirely failed, having done the whole of the work
with his own hand, and of course, being unable to
prove the extent of the work ; and the defendant hay-
tog refused to allow a surveyor to inspect or measure
it. Referring to another clause in the Act, by which
it is provided, that if the verdict be for the defendant,
or if the Judge certify that the ?Mount might have
been recovered in the Court of Requests, then that
the defendant shall have double costs, Mr. Abbott
submitted, that here neither of these events had hap.
pened.
Mr. NOLAN said, he did not here ask for double
costs, but only that the Plaintiff should not be enti-
tled to his costs. •
Lord ELLENBOROUGII-gs The question comes to
this, whether the old lead be a payment or a set-off ?"
Mr. ABBOTT submitted, under the authority of the
case of Horn and Hughes, tried before his Lordship
under the London Act, that it was sufficient if there
was a fair ground for bringing the Action.
Mr. Justice LE BLANC—" Non coastal, in this
case, that there was any other work done."
' Mr. ABBOTT then referred to another clause in the
Act, whereby it was provided, that nothing in that
Act contained should be understood to extend to
Thursday last,.as one of the workmen employed
any sum or demand originally above £5.
