GENUINE PATENT BRANDY.—This exquisite spirit,
which has attained such high celebrity, and vanquished
every prejudice, was first introduced by retail to the public, on
distillery terms, by BRETT, of Drury-lane; who having had
experience of the amazing improvement which it derives from
MATURITY, has made arrangements for securing a successive
supply of THE
.Dt,DEST BRANDY THAT CAN BE PROCURED;
and, as a guarantee for his integrity, a certificate under official
seal, is displayedin his counting:louse, declaratory of the con-
fidence which the Patentee reposes fn H. BR Erl"S vending
the pure Patent Brandy, in precisely the same genuine state in
which he receives it from the Distillery. H. BRETT has,
moreover, made affidavit before the-Lord Mayor, that every ar-
ticle in the Wine and Spirit Trade, sold by him, shall -be per-
fectly free from deleterious adulteration.
Ladies and Gentlemen, to whom health and economy are ola-
je-e gtud 6 eoderatiod; are respeetrallyiliiited either to transmit
their orders, by pod, or to direct their servants or carriers to
No. 109, Drury-lane, and not to be misled by servile imitations,
at other houses in the neighbourhood

FRANCIS DOGGETT, 66, VINE-PLACE, LORD-STREET,
sole AGENT in Liverpool for BETTS'S PATENT
FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY, returns thanks to the
Public for their very liberal support of the above incomparable
Spirit, which has been certified by the most eminent chemists
to be as pure and wholesome as the best varieties of Foreign
Branay, and continues to he recommended by the Medical
profession in most parts of the kingdom. F. D. also promises
to supply every Article in the Wine and Spirit trade, whole-
sale and retail, free from adulteration and on the very
lowest terms at which genuine commodities can be afforded.
F. D. lays a disappointed and angry assailant before the
Public in his own words, extracted from his letter to J. I'.
Betts and Co., February 11th, 1833. The whole of it and
others dated December Bth and, 24th, 1832, and January sth,
1833, iray be perused by those who incline, at the above
address. James-Norval's anxiety to sell, as Agent, Sub-agent,
or Traveller, the Brandy he now abuses, must be evident to
the reader. The merit and success of that which he subse-
quently espoused—on his services being declined by .1. 'l'. Betts
and Co.—have been gravely and, doubtless, truly represented
in open Court by his Employers as appears in the report of
a trial Desanges v. Desvignes. F. D. has bestowed no intem-
perance or spleen on J. Norval, but has coolly opposed to
J. N.'s misstatements facts furnished by F. .11's assailants.
J. N.'s attempt at a hit in the concluding paragraph of his ad-
vertisement is a most ludicrous and discreditable failure.

EXTRACTS FROM JAMES NORVAL'S LETTER TO J. T. BETTS AND CO.
" February I 1th,1533.

" I was sorry to learn by your letter that in the mean time
you declined the offer as agent, convinced as I am that it
would ultimately have led to your advantage. In the first
place, from my very extensive knowledge of the trade, and the
pecuniary resources of each of its members, I am certain that a
bad debt could hardly have happened ; and, in the second place,
from my intimacy with the dealers, I could have persuaded
many of them to buy your spirit who otherwise would have
never thought of it; and, in the third place. from the. connec-
tions I have formed in every town and village around Liver-
pool, the. quantity I could have sold would be very great."
" I would propose that you would appOint another agptit to
meet the orders from the country, who would occasionally
travel to forward its sale; and I am certain that if I were ap•
pointed I could do an immense business in this way, not only
in this immediate vicinity, but in the more populous parts of
Ireland, where I have connections formed, as also in Scotland,
for every town of which. I have persons in the trade who pur-
chase frOm me.

" I have to request your answer to this proposal, and hope
that it will be favourable to my wishes."

Nerves boasted-
The following extract may. serve as a full answer to James
preference given to E. H. Desriaoes's Brandy,
and should HE ever require a "placard" or "long WINDED
ADVERTISEMENT," the. following is recommended as particu-
larly adapt ed.to the purpose; and should his real opinion of J. T..
BETTS and-Co.'s 'Bit A N Dv be desired, the curious may be grati-
fied by perusing his repeatedapplieatious to become tlicir Agent,
Sub-agent, or Traveller. His amusing Letters, on the subject
lay at the Office,
6G, Vine-place, Lord-street.

From the Time' of Friday, 21st June, 1833
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, THURSDAY, JUNE 20.
• (Before a COIII7IUM jury.)
DESAICGES v. DESVIGNES.
This was an action for a Breach of Contract, and also for
Work and labour.

Mr. Serjeant Wilde conducted the Plaintiff's case; Mr.
Serjeant 'faddy, •Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Martin were counsel
for the Defendant

It appeared that a Monsieur Despr& having set up a Brandy
Distillery in the neighbourhood of Golden-square, which he
carried on in partnership with the defendant, the plaintiff, who
had previously been a diamond merchant, in consideration of
a promise from Mr. Desvignes to obtain a share in the busi-
ness, took an active part for one or two months in furthering
the interests of the concern, and negotiated with a Mr. Love-
day for the purchase of certain premises, in which the business
has ever since been carried on. No specific contract, however,
was made with him as to the share he was to have in the con-
cern; but the defendant subsequently proinised to compensate
him for his services. Evidence was adduced on the part of the
defendant, to show that-the speculation had turned out an an-
pnlitable one, notwithstanding a change of experiment had been
tried, first from distillation from rum to distillation from potatoes,
and afterwards to distillation from whiskey; and that, therefore,
the plaintiff had lost nothing by not having had a share in it,
even if he had contracted for one, which it was contended he
had not.

The Lord Chief Justice was of opinion that there was not
sufficient evidence to support e counts on a special contract
for a share in the business; but hat the plaintiff was entitled
to recover, on the common coot for work and labour, some
remuneration for the services he had rendered to the defendant.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £lOO.
