COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY tt.
ILOGORS u, JACKSON.
This was an allion for money had and seceived to
the defendant's ufe.
The Plaintiff is an Under-writer, and brought
this aftion to recover from the Defendant wool.
which he had paid as the inference on the (hip
Kitty, under the following circumftances. as Rated
by Mr. Gases:
A Dania% veffel, called the Chriffianns Septimus,
with a eatable cargo, was taken as prize by an
Englith trailer, and carried into the Cape of Good
Upon inveffigatioi the was given up ; but
'was in fo bad a •condition, as not to be able to
pressed on her voyage to Ansfterdam, for which
place (he was originally deflined. The cargo being
to be difpofed, of Meffrs.Greetnier.Trailand Taylor,
agreed to purchafe it. It was to be configned to
the Defendant in England, who was to accept bills
to the amount of to,ecol. Theft Gentlemen pur.
abided the Grip Kitty, and procured an order from
the Governor totranditip the goods. on condition
that they were to be fent to the original place of
delthaation. The good., being bought in cheap, the
partners thought proper to put vol. per cent. on
• them on the infurance—and inttead of fending
them back to Arallerdam) they were fent for Eng-
land. Oa the way the Grip was taken by a French
privateer. Mikes bad been brought ageing the
other Under-writers upon this alp, and were after-
weeds abandoned; but the Plaintiff in this adios%
had paid the inference in ignorance, and fought to
have it back again.
Mr. John Taylor, broker, was then examined.
He laid he bad been employed by Defendant to
make the infurance, and that, in confequence of
direitions from the Defendant, he made application
to the Under-writers to make an adjultment of the
account and pay the amount ; but it appearing that
the Weeds had not fettled any of the accasuts
perfonally with the Plaintiff, he was nonfuited.

The Plaintiffs had an extenfive commercial houfe
at Surinam, and the Defendants were great com-
mercial merchants in London. The former bad
unaligned ro; bags of coffee to the latter ; and hav-
ing received advice of the fele, and of the tem re-
ceive' on their account, the plaintiffs drew bills
upon the Defendants for the amount, which bills they
refefed to accept, alledging, that they had lingo' to
charge for the infurance of the goods from Suri•
nam to London, althougsp ih all charges for lighter
Ito in reage,infurance na fire, &c. had been
charged on the account ales. Upon being called
upon to (hew their authority for making the in-
ference, they alleged, that they had made a lump
infurance upon all produce coming =some, and had
appropriated 7eol. to that cargo.
It appeared that the Defendants had fent a dupli-
cate of the account (ales fume weeks after they had
fent the original one, and had never mentioned any
thing about the infurance : that the policy was
long fuldequent to the advice of the goods being
ittrpped,- and had seam been ditated by the
Mimi&
Lord Ettassoeouom obfervad, that if the De-
ferdAnt% canceled to be paid the inference, they
fisould have had a fix( ific policy; but they could
Dot have the benefit of a fubfequent one.—Verdit

This was an a&iun of ejeement to securer the pof-
!cairn of fever-al houfcs in Bartholomew Chile.
Mr. Class dated, :hat the Plau,tiff was she eldell
firs of the late Lord Kenfington, whole name was
William Edwards, and who was tenant for lilt of ef-
rates left hint by his brother, with remai.,Jer to the
Plaintiff in tail. A power had been given the late
Lord Kentington, by his brother's will, tri grant
kale' for get years, upon three lives, rcterving the
ben improved rent. 13y virtue of Out power, he
bad granted a !cafe of feveral mefliiages to Cl'th
Fair, near Smithfield, to a Mr. Campion, one o
1
which wits rented by the Defendant. 'the o!,j of
this odious was to vacate that leafe, on the ground of
the sent referred being inadequate to the wir.ii.4l va-
lue of the premiles at the time the kite was gi
which was in the year 1784. Tbc kale is nor qim
was renewable on the siv.ith of any one of 01; 1,., ,

61,1 not appear upon the face of sae

rent referred was only 111. though the premifes were
worth three times that torn. He thoold prove there
fats, and the verdift fur the Jury mutt neceffarily
be in his favour.
Several witnelies were called, who gave their opi-
nions as to the value of the honfes in the year 1734
Some defcribcd them as worth 271. a year, and others
231. but it appealed that their information on the,
fubjedi was extremely vague and incorreft. The
houfes at the time of the demife were in a very dila-
pidated (late, and had, at a very eonfiderible ex-
pellee, been altered and repaired by the kffee.
Lord Ecceasoaouoit. after the examination of
each witnefs, intimated his opinion, that their telli
mony fell very (bort of proving that the late Lard
had made an improvident bargain with his tenant.
There were three other anions which depended on
the verdift in the prefent one.
Mr. ERSKINE, in the courfe of a very eloquent ad.
drefs to the Jury for the Defendant, regretted that
the prefent Lord Kenfington was not in Court, to
wittier% the difgraeeful fcene which his agents were
exhibiting in his name. That young Nobleman,
whole gay and fathionable purfuits precluded his at-
tention to the concerns of his fortune, would doubt-
kis have been afhamed of having occupied the time
of the Court and Jury, and would inftantly have
contented to a nonfuit. He was a young man re•
cently come to the paffe(fion of a patrimony adequate
to rapport, with fpleroloar, any title his Majefly
could bellow on a fribjedt ; it was therefore placing
him in a molt invidious point of view, to advife him
to appear in a Court of Jullice, for the mean and
unworthy purpofe of grinding and oppreffing his te-
nants, who had derived their titles from his father.
It was a degradation of his own charater, an infult
to the fhade of the deceafel Lord, and a proof of the
want of filial piety, to attempt, by litigious objeftions,
to let afide efts recognized by his parent. The De-
fendant's Landlord had, on the faith of the late Lord
Kenfington, expended upwards of med. in repair-
ing there premifes, which were in a low neighbour-
hood, and, at the trine he took them, in a moll ruinous
condition. It was an• indication of an imaricions
difpofition on the part of the Plaintiff, me with to an-
ticipate the enjoyment of his reverfion, and, wallow-
ing in wealth, as he was, to defire to have in his
polieflion the produce of all the money laid out on
the affurance of his father's title. The Learned
Counfel, after a variety of very revere and pointed
remarks, trolled that the Jury would, by their ver-
dia, exprefs their indignation at this ?Ilion, which
was only the firft of a cries of others that flood ready
for trial.
Lord Ecaansoitouo rt- thought the late Lord had,
under all the eircumftances, obtained the beft im-
proved rent he had a right to expel, and had ailed
with due regard to the intereft of the reverfioner.
The Jury. without a moment's hefitatioo, returned.]
a verdidl fur the Defendant.
MITCHSLL W. WILSONS.
The Plaintiff, as Mr. Gestaow Rated, brought
this anion as indorfee of a promiffory note gaffed by
the Defendants, whom he deferibed as very refpeaa-
ble cornfaltors and merchants in the city, to a Mr.
Michael Judens Eyre) for the fum of 1441. 71. pay-
able in two mouths after date.
Mr. Gaaaow Paid that he might content himfelf
with merely proving the hand writing and potting in
the note to be read as in ordinary and undefended
cafes, but having received thine inftruftioos ;dative
to the nature of the defence to be let up, he would ]
touch upon it, becaufe he knew drat if he were not
to do fo, his ftiend Mr. Emma' who was on the
oppofite fide, was polliffed of fuck eminent talents,
that it required vett labour to do away any fult ha
preffion which he bad an opportunity of making on
the minds of the Jurors. Therefore he would Rate,
that he heard, without binding bimfelf to any admif
Gorr or knowledge of the fat, that the payee of the
aim. Mr. Judens Eyre, had a perfon in his employ•
menu whom be was in the conttant habit of authori-
ling to indorfe his paper for him by procuration, and
this perfon became perfidious to him, and converted
the note to his own ufe. If it were fo, raid Mr.
Gat.aow, my Client, who is a Gana fide holder of it
for valuable confideration, and who hat nothing in
the world to do with Mr. Eyre's Clerk, whether he
be honell or difboneft, ought to be paid by the De-
fendants, who, I fuppofe, are only nominally fo, Mr.
Eyre (if the fait of the Clerk's dilhonefly be true)
being the patty interefted on the other fide. Mr.
Gannon aflimilated this cafe to that of Garrells v.
the Bank of England.
Mr. ELSKINE on the oppofite fide' endeavoured
to diftinguifh the cafes, and produced frame written
evidence, viz. an Ex. r ift from an Anfwer to a Bill
in Equity, and an evidence of a contradiftory ac-
] count of the tranfaftion alledged to have been given
to Mr. Gregfon, a refpcaable attorney, but not being
able to implicate the Plaintiff in any fraud, he ob-

ROBANTS AND ANriTNIIR V. TUSTI•II.
The Plaintiffs, Meffrs Robarts and Curtis (Bank-
ers), brought this anion on a promilrory note for
171. 19s. accepted by the Defendant, who pleaded a
tender of that funs into Court. This. cafe appeared
fornewhat fingular. The bill having become due, it
was prefented by one of the Plaintiffs' clerks for pay-
ment, at the hoofe of the Defendant, who &fired
the beater of it to call again, or give him change
for as. nee, as he had no frmall notes ; the Clerk
being tutagle to give change, the note was taken
away 1 and about five o'clock in the afternoon, the
Defendant went to tl e Plaintiffs with intent to take
it op. It happened at that hour the Cletks were
polling their books, and the Defendant waited for
fctne perfnn to attend, until be was out of patience,
anal loudly called to them, dciiiing they would give
hiin his note, and take the money, which he laid on
the counter. His ternonftrances %vet e, however, of
avail ; one of the Clerks told him, that as he did
ru.t take up the bill in the morning, he 'null wait their
pleidure. The Defendant, elafperated, d—d them

refuted to take it up. It was, therefore, put into
the hands of an attorney, and the Defendant was
fcrved with the copy of a writ, after whiell he went
to the attorney, and offered to pay the bill if free of
all charges.
Sir JAM es MANS7I/I.D, after the evidence had,ef-
tahlifhed the above feels, obferved, that the Clerks in

This was an ation to recover the value of leveret
firkins and half firkins of butter, which the Defen-
dant had not delivered among a quantity depofited

butter came from Ireland In a veirel named the Fac-
tor, and was landed at the Defendant's wharf, but
afterwards Rowed in a warehoufe belonging to one

Th;s was a cafe ariling from a circumflance which
long engaged the attention of the public ; namely,
the profecution of a claim made by the Defendant to
the Peerage of Chandos. The Plaintiff, who is Lan-
caller Herald at Arms, was employed as a confiden-
tial agent on that occalinn, and, by the prefent
ac-
fought to recover 5381. rsis. the =OM of a
bill fur difburfements and charges incurred in the
progt els of his attendance at different places on the
Defendant's bufinefs.
Serjeants SH AT NERD and Bpi, in fupport of' the
Plaintiff's cafe, defo ibed Mr. Lodge as having me-
rited the moll unlimited approbation from the De-
fendant for perfeverance in a lung and laborious re-
ketch after thofe documents abrolutely necePry to
fupport a claim to the Barony of Chandos ; the en•
deavours to procure which had alfo occupied the time
and attention of Mr. Townfend, Herald at Arms,
who preceded the Plaintiff in the bufinefs for a pe-
riod of near eight years, at the end of which time
the Defendant, having form reafon to be diffitisfied
with Mr. To:intend, the Plaintiff was requelled to
undertake the further conduet of the bufinefs ; and
from thence until the claim was decided in the Houfe
of Peers, his affiduity had never been diminithed, as
relating to the Defendant's interet. By the items in
the Plaintiff's bill, it appeared he had charged for
fearching no left than non wills in the Prerogative
Office, for a long fearch at the Drizifb Wham, add
various dilburfements during attendance at the He-
rald's Collage, bringing the claim before the Lord
Chancellor, and finally to the Houfe of Peers ; the
whole amount of which charges, it was contend-
ed, would barely compenfate for theitime expended,
and the foicitude which had been ufed. The Dc.
fendant, convinced that the Plaintiff was entitled to
a remuneration, had paid 3501. and in the prefent
inflame, had no inclination to withhold the balance,
if the different charges in the bill were fulatlantiated.
Mr. George Naylor, York Herald, and three
other Heralds of the College, being called, exiinin-
eel the bill, sad dappled elate, according to the
charges in the Herald's College, the items were tea-
losable.
Mr. Anthony Rofer Haden, an Officer in the
Treafury, Paid, he had known the Plaintiff ten years,
during (even of which he had been, to ‘;itnefs's
knowledge, conftantly engaged in the Defendant's
bufinefs.
Mr. Brydges, brother to-the Defendant, deferibed
the profecution of his brother's claim to the Peerage
of Cbaodos, and exprefted his entire fatisfafhion with
the Plaintiff's zeal and affiduity. Witnefs thought
the latter entitled to a confiderable remuneration for
his fervices, but could not fay to what extent.
Mr. Serjeant Cocesi.: obferved, it was not the in -
tention of the Defendant to impute any thing impre-
per to the Plaintiff as relating to the bill ; the Defen-
dant only wanted to have the charges made out by
evidence, after which he would willingly pay the tit
molt that could be demanded. The learned Ser-
jeant proceeded to call evidence to prove the charges
were exorbitant, when
Sir JAMES Ma irsr a tam obterved, the Plaintiff ought
to have defcribed in a regular manner the turns he
had expended, which it did not appear he bad done.
There was a proper way of doing bufinefs, namely,
by preferving receipts and making memorandums ;
and, if inch were negleaed, the party became de-
pendent on the honour and genermity of the perfon
liable to pay; the Plaintiff had produced no evidence
of that defcription, therefore it was fair to conclude
the 3501. which had been confidered fufficient by the
Gentiemea of the Heralds' College, was all the Plain-
tiff had a right to claim.
The Plaintiff was noaluited, not being able to prove
his demand.
