Wilkins said that both plaintiff and defendants were u'°ll
and steel merchants, the one-in Sheffield, the other

his principal business in Manchester, but somewhere abell
the year 1851 he made up hi.--mind-to confine the whole of'
his business to Sheffield, and applied to the defendants to
urchase a quantity of. goods which he had stored in
,1
at Manchester. It was agreedthat they shoal'
portion of the stock, consisting of small and large
bars of steel, and pay for them when they had sold thein;

Mr. Justice Erle stated the.case to the jury; pointing out
that the evidence of the witnesses was directly contra-
dictory, that one side must be stating what waa not cor-
rect, and it was for the jury to decide, according to their
business experience and best judgment, which version of
the case was the true one. The jury returned a verdict
for the defendant.
The next action, which was undefended,. was brought
'by the " Stourbridge Navigation Company v. Lewty an
others," for non-payment of tonnage accounts, which ithe
defendants, who have works on the Sixteen Locks, had
r not paid. Verdict for therplaintiff for the amount claimed'

• BROOKS AND ANOTHER V. KNOTT.—Tha
William Joseph Brooks and Robert Fraser, at the 61118,
when the claim in disyde arose, were in partnership 111
Manchester as bill-brokers ; the defendant is a brewer ay"
spirit-merchant in the same place. The action was Pl
recover £3B 16s. 10d., with interest, theamount of a
due on the 10th Feb., which was drawn by a Mr. Johnson
upon a Mr. William Lee, and accepted-by the latter. It
was indorsed by Johnson to the defendant,. and by him t°
the plaintiff. The defence was, that virtually no notic4
of dishonour had been served upon the defendant in CO"'
sequence of an imperfbct address being placed upon a lette.r,
to Mr. Knott. The address on the letter, however, 15
turned out, was only too correct, inasmuch as it gave Oil)addresses,
addresses,instead of 'one merely, of 'the defendant, who
occupied two houses, both of which, were described cor"
rectly on the cover. Verdict for the plaintiff.
SCOTT V. LONCINORE.—An action for a bill for £o2'
drawn by George ,Longmore upon William Longmore, hI•4
father, (since dead,) in favour of John. Stuart and anothert
and indorsed by them to the plaintiff, Mr. Henry SooAti
The plaintiff was,u member of the firm of John Stuart an
Co., who carried on business in. Manchester, and had!
branch establishment at New York. The defendant 0"9:,,_
a wholesale provision-merchant,. in Manchester. In
year 1847 the .defendant went to the United States, takinib
with him a letter of credit from his .Manchester hones'
and obtained from the house in New York money to
extent of £2,000, which he covered by two acceptances''
each for £l,OOO. The first of these bills was duly honoured'
the second the defendant wished to have renewed, and''
in consequence, the plaintiff's firm took two bat,'
of £2OO each, and another for £6OO. The LAO
was still unpaid, and in the hands of Stuart and CA9,4
at present. One of the- bjlls of £2OO was honoarePi
and it was for the remaining bill for £2OO that the action"
was brought. The defame was, that the plaintiff hirnSe,t
being the drawer of the bill, though in strict law
would Da be• liable to au indorsee of that bill unless, T4'.
bill having arrived at maturity, it were presented to the
person upon whom it was drawn, and, being dishonourot
notice were promptly given to the drawer; or unless their
drawer, previous to the maturity of the bill, disperser
with, the necessity of that presentment. the bill 111
question undoubtedly was not presented to Mr, Longmore'
the father, at maturity. The plaintiffs did not preWv"
that such was the ease, but they said that they failed t°
make that presentment because the defendaut himself
%nested, through his brother James, that the persona usw
hO
held the bill should not present it. The pjamtins were
uonsuited on, the ground that authority from Ge°rmiaga
Longmore to James to act in the way stated was not Provc7
