FARRAR V. DEFLINSE.This was an action of very Arent
importance, tried at the late Liverpool assizes, before Al': t
Justice Coltman, in which the plaintiff sought to recover tl -.
sum of £l,lOO and upwards from the defendant, whom l'e
alleged to be a partner in the house of Thomas Todd, which
became bankrupt in the month of June, last year.
ver-
dict passed for the plaintiff for the amount claimed.
Mr. Dundas now moved for a rule to show cause wh
new trial should not be had on the grounds, Ist, that part
of the evidence taken ou the trial was inadmissible ' •)„dh
that the balance of evidence was in favour of the defendant':
and, 3dlv, on account of misdirection by the learned judo.e-
He briefly enumerated the leading facts of the case, acid
pointed out the instances in which he excepted to the ad
ibility of the evidence; viz., where the witnesses had di_
vulped the existence of the partnership between the defer'
dant and Todd, not by any authority of the defendant, but-
merely on their own surmises; and contended that it ouoht
not to have been admitted, inasmuch as there was no outho_
rity by the defendant to those witnesses, either express or
implied, to divulge the existence of such partnership. He
was proceeding to explain the precise nature of the evidene
in order to ground his application on the second point, whee'
he was stopped by the court. ,
You can take a rule, Mr. Dundas.
