THE Sr.

Mr. PLATT, for the defer dent, subtnitted to the Lord
Chief Justice, that as the consideration for which die
mun►y was advanced had not wholly failed, the plaintiff
could not recover it in thi. form of action; and he re-
ferred, in support of his objection, tit the case of " Tay
for rt. Harr," I Hos. and Pul. New. 260.

The Loan CUM JUSTICE observe that the payments
for board and instruction at school were made at regular
intervals, and therefore, in his judgment, were se divi-
sible as to support the action in its present form. He
would, however, take the opinion of the Jury on the
question of fact, whether the agreement was for two
years at all events, or fur two years if the parties should
live.

The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages
391. 7s. 6d.
The boar, Coma JIIIITICI did not rise till Ere o'clock,
and intimated, that in consequence of the arrrar of bu-
siness, and its slow progress, he should continue to take
causes till that hour on future days. It was also sug-
gested that the Court would sit at nine, in the sittings
after the summer terms.
