This wet an action brought by the Plaintiff, a

.Ave Maria.l.ine, St. Paul's, to
recover the value of some goods ,E;shl and delivered
to the lift of Jones, Abbuti O 4'eti, Napier, and
Cu. merchants, in Bucklersbury. After the goods
Were delivered, the above partners, with the excep.
(ion of Mr. Napier, who had qiiitted the concern,
became bankrupts, and the Plaintiff now sought to
rcenver the value of the goods he hatl sold, of the
Defendant, on the ground that he had acted as a
partner with Jones, Owen, and Abbot, previons
to the bankruptcy, and at the time the goods in
question mere delivered:
The first witucss called *alt liamiltori, a clerk 10
the Plaintiff, who .proved the delivery of part of the
goods in August, 1808, at the halm of Jones ant
Co. and part at the Customhouse Quay, where they
were sent by order of the purchasers, for exporta.
Lion. Goods were also delivered in September, and
the whole amount of the different deliveries was
3761. 14s. 11d:
The principal witness Was gr. W. Birt, who
proved that he had been introduced to the D.Aentlant
by Jones, and that Mr. Gwinn not only said that
he was a partner in the concern, but actually wurt
with the witness and Jones to purchase goods of
several tradesmen. The witness had introduced
Jones and G winn to a clicesemonger, and in order
Was given for a quantity of cheese. Jones described'
winn at that time to be his" partner, and being
asked fur a referenc', gave the namc of Mr_„...ll4o9Yea
.at eke west end of the twin. Gitlin offered tti
pay for the goods by a bill at Six months on Walsh
'and Nesbit. In various other transactions it ap.
geared that Crwinsi had been concerned with tb6 .
house of Jones, Owen, and Co. but having ground
to suspect that his partnership with that aoneern
would not be beneficial, he quitted them, And'or.
tiered the goods which he had purchased to be sup.
plied on his own lerarate account. The onli 'canes.
lion in the cause was, whether the Defendant hail
been considered a partner at the time the goods
were deliteriA by the Pliintills?
The Learned Judge was clearly' of opinion °idt
a partnership *bad existed between the Defendant
and Jones and Co. for a time, and he left the Jury
Ito say whether he was in the situation of a partner'
in September, when the goods were supplial by the
P:iintilf.
Tilt. Jury retired from the hot, and on their rc.t
turn found a Verdict fur the Plaintiff. The cana.
lasted several hours. •
