INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, GVILDHA LL, Dec. 11.
Silting: at Nisi erius before Lord Et:LEN no ROUG It.
MARTINDALE V. DANIEL LoYELL.

This was an action for goods sold and delivered.
Alr. P.aKKE stated, that the Plaintiff is a paper.
manufacturer, in Cambridgeshire, and the Defen-
dant a man of mush celebrity ; he was the Proprie-
tor, Priuter, and Publisher of an evening paper,
calti;il The Statesman, and having the misfortune
to fall under the di;pleasure of the Court of King's
Bench, he was at this moment undergoing his
punishment, being confined in his Majesty's
gaol of Newgate. The Plaintiff served him
with paper from July, 1809, to tile present year,
to print his newspaper upon ; there' was nut any
complaint made of the paper by the Defendant un-
til the Plaintiff demanded payment for his paper,
which amounted to the enormous sum of 8411. 13.7,r.
The delivery of the Several parcels of paper was not
denied, and he would then, under the direction of
his Lordship, be entitled to the verdict of the Jury.
Joseph Pickering, fureman to the Plaintiff, de-
posed, that he called. on the Defendant, on the
17th of July, 1809, and having sheaved him some
samples of paper, he fixed on one, and or.
dered 20 bundles, at 525. per' .bundle ; lie saw him
the day following after the delivery, on the 18th,
and asked him if he had opened the belittles and ex-
amined the piper? he aniwered in the affirmative,
and said he was perfectly satisfied. Ile asked the
Witness how much of the same kind of paper he.
had on hands ? 'he replied 44 bundles, which the
Defendant ordered, and, :after the delivery, he ap-
proved 'of the paper.. This Witness also proved
the delivery Of the other parcels to the amount of
8111. is. 711. ; the Defendant had paid 1401.
On his cross-examination, he said the Defendant
never complained of the paper until be had it in his
possession six or seven months. In the month of
May, he (the Witness) examined 50 bundles of the
paper at the Defendant's Office, and took out font
bundles as unfit for use, and asked the Defendant
to let thcm remain there until he semis for them:; he
did this on account of a bouncing letter the Plain-
tiff received from the Defendant. The Defendant
said the reason lie had .not used the Plaintiff's paper
was, that he was embarrassed with Alagney and
Pickering, and if be used it then it would be the
swans of their bringing in their bill, which he was
not prepared to discharge.
Mr. LOPPING, Counsel for the Defendant, said
that he would have wished his Learned Friend (Mr.
Parke) had confined himself to' the subject matter
of the action ;. he ought to have recollected that we.
should nut press too hard on a fallen man. If the
Defendant hail been obnuitious to the Law, it bad
considered it and visited him accordingly... If his
instructions were correct, he wank( .enotsidiet the
last Witness by five persons. The, Defendant was
at all times ready to pay the Phslotiff, if he would
snake a reduction for the paper that was nut fat for
use, which amounted to 1501.
William Para deposed, that he was in the service
of the Defendant ; remembered the paper coining
in July, 1809, some of it was good—it wan mixed ;
some of it wits of so thin a texture that it would
not take the ink. Ile was called down by the De-
fendant when the last Witness was iospecting the pa-

per.'
On his cross.examiuition be said, he did not
know that Magney
,and Pickering bought a quan-
tity of stamps fur the Defendant.
Josiah Ryder, clerk to the Defendant, recollected
the lime that the paper came from the Defendant ;
it was a month after the. delivery before it was exa-
mined ; it was laid aside, being unfit for use. He
remembered the Plaintiff coming aceirdiug to a
notice he received from the Defendant, terexamine
the paper. He (the witness) would not say pod-
tixely, but he believed thiPtaintilf said, lay the
*per aside, and be won'd lend better in its place.
When Pickering examined the paper, ho laid at
least one.half of it aside as bad, and took samples
of it into the City, for theyerpose of disposing or
. it • but on his retern, he said the paper. was 59
bad that he could not sell it, and • bet„,ged that it
might be allowed to lay there. It was impossible
to read the publication when it was printed on this
paper, it Was of such a thin texture ; and forty.
nine bandies of it remained in the office at that mo-
ment utilised.
On his cross-examination, he said he never knew
of but three parcels delivered—he could not speak
to the time that Pickering examined the paper. He
did not know that the Defendant-was indebted to
Manney amid Co.—would undertake to swear that
the Defendant did not say, that the reason for not
using the Plaintiff's paper was his being indebted to
Magney and Co. He was certain that it was in the
' :present year she Plaintiff examined the paper.
• , Mr. WAWA Printer of The Stsiesniair, de.
' • posed to the gcliaeki bad quality of the Paper ; and.
stated that it was utterly unfit for use, as from the
extreme thinnens of its texture it would not receive
the necessary iinpressiun.
'l'hotna4 Angus, another Clerk of the Defend-
ant, deposed, he was present when Pickering
examined the paper, and he laid eighteen bun.
dlo aside as objectionable, and he said they would
sent fur by the Plaintiff. lie was also present
silica Mr. Martindale called, in July last, and pro:
itecodut to the Defendant, and demanded
pal went. Mr. Lovell replied, that he was prepared
to settle the ammo, but he would notdo So until
:Martindale took away the bad paper on hand, and
made a rzasunable allowance for that which had
been used.
