CA1111174 V.

This was en action bseoght by the Plaintiff, es as-

Crest St. Helen's, mercheets, against the Defendant,
a Cekeel ire the assay, who bad requited great
property in the FAIN Indies. to recover the amount of
certain goods sent in the ships Victoria, Aisne, sad
Mayflower, to North America, which bad been as-
signed to him by Mr. Amos, on account of the part-
uership.
Mr. GOISZY, in statist the case to the Jury, said,

lon, and many persons in this country eutertained
the most coefident espectations as to the favourable
isles of the contest. Colonel Bryce and Mr. Amos,
went to a Stock-broker to purchase 20,000 Consols
for time. The settling day was approaching, and
stocks veri.d so much, that at last it was decided

The Stack-broker called en Solite'lewd, and tshd
him whet the bereft was. Amos then ',termed to
town. and there wes a 'fleeting of the parties. Mr.
Amos, however, was a most romantic moo •t Wields
that Colonel Bryce was to have half the profit d she
bergain, if there were any, but that he was wet to
beer any part of the loss. It was thee emoted
that Colonel Bryce should lend the paltrier, 10001.

lend then left London, with an inured°, news
to Merit to it, and went to America. Colonel
Bryce became pressing for the repayment of his
money, or for some such security as would in-
demnify him from loss. In consequence, on the

self and his partner, emoted a deed of assignment
of the cargo of the ship Vkteria, then consigned to
New York. On the 18th of November, ten days
afterwards, he 'leaned a s!stilar assignment of the
cargo of the ship Anne. also consigned to New
'link. A short time afterwards, Amos received
some intelligence which induced him to believe that
Sutherland was dead; and, on the 10th of January,
1816, he executed a third 'lodgement to Colonel
Bryce, of the cargo of the Mayflower, which was
coesigeed to Boston. The Learned Counsel les.
pecked all these deeds on she following grounds:—
First, that the original transaction was • stock-job-
bine affair, he which Colonel Bryce was a partner;
and if not a partner, that it was illegal to lend money
for seek transactietes. Secondly, that Sutherland
had committed an act of bankruptcy in August,
1815, end did not return to this country till the oth
of February, 1816, whoa a Commission of hank.
reptcy was issued. Thirdly, that the goods so as-
signed to Celesta Bryce bad been bought with the
money el Amos and Sutherland; and at the time of
the assignment, Sutherland bad eammitied an act of
bankruptcy. Again, he impeached the deeds ow this
ground, namely, that one partner cannot bind ass.
other, by deed, without his consent; and here Amos
only had executed the assignment. Witeesses were
thew milled to prove the case.
Mr. Francis Atkinson, a stock-broker, in the city,
deposed as follows :—On the Ist of March, 1814,
Amos mad Col. Bryce came to his house. Amos
said, that his fated, the Colonel, bad the ammo view
to himself of the result of the campaign, and wished
to be concerned is the porch's* of Consols for the
nest arcount. Amos gave him an order to port:hese
20,000 Cassels. The Colonel did not speak : he
was abort two yards distant, and might bate heard
if be had listroed. He went away with Amos. It
was s bergaie for time, and was entered in the wit.

after, Amos called agate, and bought 10,000 Con-
sols en his own seesaw. The loss on the 20,000
was about 20001. 'lke settling-day was the 6th of
April: and as it approached, tie witness was look-
ing oat for Amos, bet for about a week could sot
find Isle. "He then called on Sutherland, who
said he had' heard that his pithier had been
engaged in stock.jobbing 'reelections, and he begged
to Imow whether the witness wished to see Amos es
that account. The witness suggested, that probably
Colossal Bryce was concerned is this purchase end
as Mr. Amos mold net be found, perhaps Colonel
Bryce would glee some iestroctioes for the sale of
the stack. He afterwards saw the Colonel, who re.
freed to glee any directions, sayiag, that he had no-
thing to do with the transaction. The loss was paid
by Sutherland on the oth of April. The total lose
paid on that day was 25311.
Mr. Setherlaild deposed, that he met Col. Bryce is

Amos in some unpleasant stock transactions. The
Colonel said, be was aware that Ames had madelarge

Amos said, he slid net conceive that Col. Bryce was

Bryce. Ames stated that be had sorb an opinion of

with that sod other monies, the witness settled with
the several stock-brokers. The total sem which
