TUURSDAY.-7CIVIL COURT.

The Cdurt commenced trying the causes in the civil list this
day; there were, however, few of any interest but, to the parties
concerned.
PRESTON v, ZWILCHENBART.—This was an action commenced
by the plaintiff, a dresser and dyer of skins, to recover from the
defendants, Messrs. Zwilchenliart, merchants in the town, the
sum of £lO, alleged to be due by them to the plaintiff for dress-
ing 400 R appeared that the defendants had been in the
habit of employing a man named Pugh to dress their skins, and
Pugh was allowed to dress the skins on Mr. Preston's premises,
and Preston dyed them, Messrs. Zwilchenbart being charged
separatdiy.bv the parties for dressing and dying. In June last
Pugh received 400 skins to dress from the defendants, but neg-
lected his business by going away and leaving them in Pres-
ton., yard- for about fortniibt. It was stated in evidence .by

Preston's clerk, that; whilst the skins were tying in the plain-
trff 's yard, Mr. Rodolph Zwilchenbart came there to see whe-
ther they were. finished, when he was informed by the plaintiff,-
that Pugh had been away drinking ever since they came; upon
this.- the deferidant desired Mr. Preston to dress and dye them
on his own account, as soon as possible, as he wanted them for
shipment, and that he, (the defendant) would pay for them. On
taking the account, however, to the defendants, they refused to
pay for that lot, unless Pugh was agreeable and was satisfied.
.Pugh refused to go near the defendants, and they, consequently
would not pay. Mr. Melville, a clerk to the defendants, proved
paying the plaintiffs, in July, £4l 14s. 7d., at the same time,
stating, that they did not feel at liberty to pay the account in
question, unless Pugh was present. Upon this the plaintiff, at
first, was unwilling to receipt the account, but subsequently he
signed the receipt, and witness concluded the account was set-
tled, after which, the plaintiff brought in an account for a
balance of £.1.0. The jury, after some consultation, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff to the amount claimed.

The appeal case of the Liverpool Oil Gas Company against
the Water Works Company, on the motion of Mr. Hall, was
postponed until the next sessions.
