drawn by Vertigens and Co. and jecepted •by the do- ,
feeds's'. The drawers indorsed the bill to Fry. and

pearing, however, that he defendants had lodged bills
in the hands, of Fry and Chapman to apply to the pay
vnent of the bill, the Jury found a verdict for the de-
fendant.
FiLLOwns AND AIaOTHIR N. wILLIAMLIN.
This was au action for deceit. The plaintiffs were
silk brokers, residing in London. and the defendant was
a silk mannf securer at Corenuy.
The case stated by the plaintiffs was briefly this s
The defendant had been in partnership with a person,
named William Duffy. with whom. be carried on basi,
yaws for some time. Having resolved to dissolve the
Or•nership, the defendants offered Duffy the whole of
their stack for 1,0001. Duffy agreed to this, and gave
Ks bond for 10;001. payable in June 182.8. The bond
was dated June, 1827. .-Duffy bad already began to
tradeu on his own account, for in Mey,1827, ke had or.
d'a'red goods of the plaintiffs to the amount of 691. On
that occasion .the.,plaintiffs _told..bin. agent. that they
should not let him have may More till they had made
inquiries as to his circumstances. One of the plaintiffs
then directed Morris to ask the defendant as to his cha-
rimer as a merehant, and whether he was to betrusted.
Morris, meeting the defendant. read to him the pl4l-
- letter, and ins& the necessary inquiry of him.
Tile defend int replied, that Duffy had a large capital
employed in the trade; that it was not all his own, but
that he believed him to be at least worth 2,0001. and
that he would tram • him at any time to the extent of
1;0001. This was after Daffy had executed the bond
ky.which he became indebted to the plaintiffs to that
amount. The plaintiffs, after this, wete willing to trust
Duffy, but be ordered no goods of them tilt the Not.
folltming. having paid for the•goods he had in May
rather before the expiration of the credit allowed in the
silk trade. In November, however, and the two f+l-
lowing months. Duffy obtained.goods to the amount of
7041. for which he gave bills which were afterwards
dishonoured, he having become insolvent,' . It wax
urged on behalf of the plaintiffs 'het this representation
of the defendant's, by which Duffy was enabled to ob.
rain goods. was made with an intention to defraud
them, and to obtain the payment of his bond. To
bring this more directly home to . him..lisnes Daffy,
brother of the insolvent, was called, and he proved that
his brother told him, in the defendant's presence, not
to be under any eneiety ,concerning the bond, ,as Wil-
liamson bad money and goods, sufficient, to cover it,
when joined to whit.weed fall to his there in the
composition.
On behalf of the defendant witnesses were called,
who proved that they considered Duffy to be in good •
circumstances; and to show that the, defendant consi-
dered him to be so likewise, it was proved that, after•
the execution of the bond, he had muted him to the
amount of 4001. and that even after the composition he
bad sent him gobds to the amount of 60W. or 8061.
This last fact was proved by a servant wbq saw the
goods put on board a vessel, which be afterwards saw.
depart.
Lord TiNTNRDEN left it to the Jury to say whether
the defendant had made the representation honestly, or
with a view to deceive the plaintiff?
• The Jury retired, and, after an hour's ab.ence, re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 3191. 16s.
As the Jury were retiring rather a droll circumstance
took place. One of the Jurymen bed brought a letter
with him to be franked, but be bad not had as oppor-
tunity, or had wanted courage to band it to some 00
the Learned Gentlemen Members of Parliament. ln.
Owing Sir James Seirlett, the Juryman became des-'
perste with the delay, thrust it into his hands, and hug
tied after his compeers. When the Jury had retired,
Mr. Campbell, laughingly, mentioned the circumstance,
:eying that Sir James Scarlett, being Counsel for the
plaintiffs, hesitated about franking it. Lord Tenterden •
good humouredly observed, that, if Sir James Scarlet'
bad any objection of that kind, he might hand tlo let-
ter op, and he would frank it himself. Sir James Scar-
let saying that that would prevent all possibility of
reflection, accordingly banded the letter op to his
Imedship.
