Mr. itarktoo, a fishmonger, in Holborn, appeared to answer the
complaint of Neale, the porter at Gerard's Hall Inn, for refusing
to pay for the carriage of a parcel of woodcocks, which had ar-
rived by the Royal Devon coach.
Mr. Stapletoa's objection was, that the parcel was expressly di-
rected to be brought by the North Devon coach, by whit.) he
should have had his woodcocks full twenty-four lours earlier, and
of noun in better order for sale, and also at a lower charge.

Sir Pecan Lague decided that he had nothing to de with the
direction, or with how the parcel got into the Royal Devon coach.
The carriage was due to the Royal Devon ; and if there was any
trickery it must rest with the book-keeper in the country.
The defendant was ordered to pay the demand, with costa, and
for the porter's loss of time.

ing them, they were sold by auction for three guineas. He acci-
dentally saw the volumes in a bookseller's window at Knights-
bridge, and ascertained this fact, and on applying for a sight of the
entry of the sale, or the overplus, after deducting the loan and
charges, he was refused and Insulted.

but alter deducting the 11. lent, Ss. the year's interest, and Ss. com-
mission, he wished to set off the rest against loss on the sale of
