COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DECEMBER 22.

DAVIS V. WILLAN AND OTHERS.

This was an action Against the defendants, as pro-
prim's.* of the Mail. to recover the value 01
a parcel containing propyrty to the amount of £l7,
alledged to have been lost through the negligence of
the defeildants' servants.
It appeared that the parcel in question, which was.
pot into the snail at Stamford, in Lincolnshire, con-
tained seven Bank-notes, a quawity of silver, and
apples and straw. The parcel was duly entered in
the way-bill. but on the arrival of the coach in town
it was missing. The plaintiff, who is one of the
tribe of Israel, called three witnesses named Nathan,
of the sonic fraternity, and they swore positively to
the fact of mine the money packed up with the ap-
ples and :tram in a basket: One of the witnesses,
Mr. Soloman Nathan. admitted, on his cross-ezarni
nation. that he had the misfortune to be taken op on
suspicion of making free with another man's pro.
perty. but was ultimately discharged.
In defence to vie action the defendants set up the
moat notice of restricted liability. by proving that
printed notice had been stuck up in the coach-office
at Stamford, where the parcel was booked t but it
app::areil that the plaint if was not able to read.
Mr. SCARLITT, for the defendants, then went to the
Jaiy on the onsprobahifity of the story that the plain-
tiff should pack money in a basket or straw and zp-
plei. It was not unlikely, it such had been the case,
that some of the plaintiff's own friends might have
made free with the money, under pretence, of tasting
the apples. This presumption WAS strengthened by
the circumstance of one et the Nathans having the

misfortune to bear not the most immaculate ctiarac-
ter. It would be proved that there was very preg-
nant suspicion agaiii,t him of making tree with othLr
'wept.'s property. and the probability was not very
remote that he might be disposed to tomato his
friend's money. .
To support this part of the ease, a Police Officer
was maimed. who stated that Mr. Sol.onan N.ii ban
had beat taken up and detained for three days on a
•charge of felony, but had been atter wards di►charged.
Mr. Justice Ass rt-r was of opinion that the deten-
, ants were liable in liw as common carriers for the
amount of the property lost, it it appeared to have
been lost throng's their negligence. They might
have restricted theit liability by due notice, but as
the plaintiff could not read, their printed notice could
not avail them op the present occasion. But he put
it to the Jury whether it was probable or likely that
the plaintiff should pack his money with apples and
straw in a basket. If they thought such a story in.
1 credible, the defendants would be entitled to a verdict.
The Jury retired fur some time,,and found their
verdict for the defendant.
