deed so many useful and ingenious agricultural ins-
plements exhibited, as at this show.
On Monde the crowd was great during the
whole day. Although the show of cattle was not
so numerous, as on some former years, yet the
Club's encouragement offered for early maturity in
the cattle, sheep, and pigs, to be shown for their

earlier as to age, to take the prizes; and it seems
the intention of the Society, now their funds will
admit of it, to offer a much greater amount of pre-
miums next year, and to afford more latitude for
competition between the different breeds of cattle
in the kingdom.

IRVING AND ctnrrs. ASSICBUS OP CAMPBELL IND CO.

•. NENNEIII 111141WIZ111, ESQ.

This was an action, upon a garantee, to recover the
save of 8 000/.
Campbell and Co. were West India merchants, who
had advanced MOW. to (lades *Kenzie, on the gua-
rantee of his father, the defendant, a man of very exten-
sive property, and retired from beldam.
It appeared, however, that Campbell aad Co. although
guarantee b the amount of 8,0001. only, bad actually af-
terwards encoded their advances, to yonng *Kenzie,
to newer& of 80,0t01. Things were in this state, when
both Campbell and Co. and young ht•Kenzie. eeame
liblitrupts; and tAirepbwirs eleignies thee applied to
the defendant, for die amount of hie guarantee; but le
refused to pay, and the present action was the cow
setiltence.
The defence set spares, that although it was Ina the
defendant bail guaranteed Campbell and Co. a 'he
'stoma of 8,1,1001. yet that he bad rehttbareed them in
that mount, prevoats to his son's bankeuptey ; theegh
be had omitted to have the guaraatee formally dis-
charged, and as the farther advances had been evade
without his privity or cement, be could sot be afteted
by them.
It appeared, however, that the guarantee was
worard, as to signify his dedmalsat's undertaking " al-
timately to cover Campbell and Co. in the amount
stated: and, a vast goaatity of evidence Laving been
gene through, the Joey returned a verdict fug the plain-
ti ifs —B,OllO/.
