7d. The Defendant had met with the Plaintiff
at bath, had tignifted his intention of making fume
alteration in his house, whither he invited him to
erinfult him on the plan of improvement. Three
plans, and correfponding climates, were in conic-
quience made out. For the &11, 311. was required;
for the fecond, Sal. ; and for the third, at the fame
rate, being 34 per cent. on the amount of the climate,
to which travelling expences were added. Neither
of thee plans were adopted, and the quelion was,
whether of per cent. with the incidental road ' ci-
liates, was a proper compenfation to the Plaintiff
int thee projeets, which had terminated in vacuity ?'
Mein. Disarms and READER, for the Plaintiff,
cadeavoared to (import by evidences that the trouble
to him was the fame as if all his [chants had been
carried into execution ; and that as Gentlemen ehofe
to entertain themfelves with employing profeffional
men to apply their labour and ingenuity in thefe
micas, they ought to pay for this Ipecies of amufe•
swot. AU the evidence confpired to fupport their
cafe, until they produted Mr. Donaldfon, an eminent
farveyor, of Bloomflaa y fquare, whofe obfervations
on the centimiffina of the trade may be of fome ufe.
On the fill at tide, this winters confidered 2 and of
per cent. the proper charge. The fecond and third
climates and plans, being merely the drudgery of
clerks in office, he cnnfidered f per cent. a fufficient
crisPentawcai• The clair6 of is a mile for travelling I
waxes, was alfn onreatonante ; he deemed fusvey.l
ors men of buftnefs, and that a mail coach was a
fufficient accommodation. Further 1 if a fecond and
third climate be made out, in ',confequence of the
blemders of the profeffor, it was improper to make
any charge at all file them.
Mr. Ganitow. for the Defendant, laid, that the
whole expeuce his client intended to incur was from
soot. to 4001. That the climates given in were to

film with the orders of the Defendant to his fur-
veyor, the former was not liable He find that mi.
had been paid into Court, which was more than the
amount of two and a half per cent. on .4001. and all
the travelling expences, with which the bill had been
incumbered. The evidence being concluded, after
an snvestation of duce hours:
Lord tssllSOßlle /1.-" If I direa one thing to
be done, and the perlon receiving the order performs
another, I am not to pay him under this deviation.
In theft climates, there is nothing more than the
labour in the mind, and if that be direaed to the fit
tibial, it ()tight so receive its reward. The Defendant
Iliould not be charged with the various projeets and
plans. utilefs it were ihewn the original fcbeme was
altered by his order. The aol. paid into Court would
pay two and a half per cent. on the climate, if it
woe 6001 and not 3001. or fool. as fuppoled by the
