RONFATS W. J. AND D. SACKION.

An action for work and labour. plaintiff is
a ship broker, and was employed by the defendants
to procure a charter for a ship belonging to than;
charter was procured cu a v. gage to and from Rlo
Janeiro at the sum of £l6uo, £5OO of which trial to
be paid by bill soon after the commencement of the
voyage, £3OO more 15 Jays after the delivery of tit
carat) in England, and the remaining o.7tt.Af thee
months subsequently:
On the part of the Plaintiff the facts were esta-
blished in evidence, and several brokers and agents
proved that the charge as reasonable and custo-
mary ; the demand was £5 per cent. upon the gross
amount of the charter, and it WAS sworn that where
no distinction was made in the charter, as to the voy-
age out and home, 45 per cent. was atinally paid; .
but where a distinction did exist, the broker or agent
demanded only 2 per cent. for the latter. in the
present case it was admitted that the freig— was
payable upon the whole adventure to and irons Rio
Janeiro.

On behalf of the Defendant, Mr. DoIARRYAT en.
deavoured to shew that the charge was unreasonable.
inasmuch as the whole trouble of the broker was to
procure the charter, and it made not the slightest
difference to him whether a few words were or were
cot inserted to make it include the return voyage
at least, for this the plaintiff could only be entitled to
two and halt eer cent. by the evidence of his own
witnesses. _

Lord tuitiatineuutt left it to the Jury to deter-
mine wl.ether the plaintiff, •according to the proof,
was entitled to the larger or the less sum: it appear-
ed that when the whole stint was in gross for the
voyages out and home, the broker receive.' per
cent. upon it ; but thurtgli this might he the custom
of the trade, it was for the Jury to say w;,ctlier it
was or was nor reasonable: at least the Itrinty 3ti-
pulated by the charter was not paid in gross, but at
various times, and that might perhaps make a dif-

ference.
The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff, AS3.
ISs. 6.1. not including a sum of £4 included in nia
particular as a per ceittage upon primage.

Also an action for work and labrnir. The plaineT

ed, by the too defendants, Who kre not partners is
trade, in inspecting and inakThg up the accoants st. •
the firm of Messrs. Bishops, extensive irocrnongeer in
the Borough, and who stopped p•iyment ; for this he
charged rim), and it was proved by his witntises It- .5
for about SO days two clerks were employed 11,70:1
the work for 12 or 13 hours each day,. and Mr.
Adams himself nearly evcry evenine ;—whsle they
were proceeding they frequently saw .Mr. Foster, who
made no objection, but, on the contiary, lent them
some aid, and at a future meeting of the creditors
expressed himself highly satisfied, as the investigation
by the plaintiff had led to The discovery that the cre-
ditors (among wltUu were both the defendants)
would receive 20s. in the pound, instead ot loss as
they first expiictrd. The account of the plaintiff,
signed and approved by Compton, was given in evi-
dence, and as against hint it was held conclusive, the
only question.being whether Foster was not liable to
pay hall the demand ?
Mr. SCARLETT, who was for the defendant, con-
gratulated the plaintiff on having so profitable an
occupatinn, and lamented that he (Mr. Scarlett) had
not been bit night up to it, as it must be much more
advantageous than the profession ot the l.tw

ot the plaintiff was given by Mr. Compton only, and
