DELAUNEY V. lITUEIS.

• Mr. PARK stated this to be an action on a Bill of
Exchange for 1001. dated 12th March, 1812, pay-
able two mouths after date, drawn by Richard Cleve-
land Burton, upon and accepted by James Stubbs,
.ten. and James Stubbs, jun. who carry on business
in Lonk-ucre. The Plaintiff, the indorsee of the
bill, is a jeweller in St. James's-street. The drawer,
who represented himself as a Mr. Richard Cleveland
Burton, residing in Southampton-place, New-road,
came to the Plaintiff's shop, and selected a quantity
of4ewellery to the value of 1011. for which he then
tendered the Bill of Exchange in question, accepted
by the Defendants. This the Plaintiff refused to be
/satisfied with, not knowing either the Drawer or Ac-
cepters, unless Mr. Burton would leave the Bill
with them till neat day, that they might make the
necessary enquiries. To this Burton assented, and a
Clerk of the Plaintiff's accordingly saw one of the
Defendants, who said the. Bill was a good one, and
would be paid. In these circumstances, the Learned
Counsel could not figure how the D:fendant could
.make any answer to Mr Ptaintiri case.

Mr. Hong was happy to hear from the answer
which his question had received, that the expectations
of thi Company in respect to remittances from Indin,
were likely to be realised. For his part be should
rejoice in the prosperity of the Company ; and surely,
when all was' peace and quietness in India, and when
t,Jsere was actually a surplus of revenue, then was the
proper time for judicious alteration. He objected to
' one part of the Petition as toe strongly worded, par-
ticularly were speaking of the opening of the trade;
it stated, " that it would be unjustifiable in the Com-
piny to becothe parties to any system which would
end only in delusion." This was not the proper-
bmgoage of Petitioner', who ooght always to take
as much as they could.get, and 'lever refuse any thing
that was offered them,—[4lengit.]--This was throw-
ing down the gauntlet of defiance at, once, and re-,
filing all accommodation or middle course.
" Mr. PATTERSON (a Director) stated, that' the words
mentioned by the Honourable Gentleman were not
itl the Petition. The word-46 unjustifiable? was in-
deed originally in it, but bad been-altered. The
words now were,—" that the Company would not
be justified in submitting to any system likely to
prove a delusion." He wished to know, however,
through what channel the Gentleman had obtained his
information, which. described the expression as it
stood in the original draught, and not in the present
copy.
Mr. Hums conceived, it would be a breach of pri- of his business, and-the young man ferii

it might have been derived originally from the Hon. that Mr.- Burton would be happy to see him on the.
