Leghorn, on amount of the plaintiff.
Mr. Otteleti SeARIATT conducted the plain-
tiff's case. and the SoLtctroa-OsnallaL and 31r. T
the defendant's.
The ease was in substance this :—The plaintiff had
commissioned the defendant to procure for him 290 bags
of toffee, to be conveyed for sale on his account at
Trieste or Leghorn. The defendant acrordiogly edyised
with his agents at Rio Janeiro. to ship the coffee in ques-
tion in a vessel chartered for the ',repose to go to Leg-
horn. whither the coffee was sent by the latter lo Messrs.
Fletcher and Co. his pondents, to be sold on lit-
igant of the plaintiff. Between the time of the order
given for the purebase of the coffee and the sale of it at
Leghorn, that article bad coasiderably advanced in
prim and it was aceordiagly sold at a very large profit,
bot the proceed* had sever reached the plaintiff. The
single question was, whether the defendant was responsi-
ble for the acts of Messrs. Fletcher and Co. the agents
of the shipper employed by the defendant at Rio Janeiro.
The of tlie.coffee due to the plaintiff amounted

The case went to the Jury, under the Learned Judge's
direction, and they found for the plaintiff—Damages

The damages were laid at 10,8091.—Hr. INASZTATT for
the plaintiff.
This was an actioa of covenant upon a contract @a-
ten.() into between the plaintiff and defendant in 1917,
for the purchase of a vessel called the Beaufort. The
breach assigned was, that the vessel was not built of oak,
v. stipulated, bet of nmeound and imperfect material..
To this the defendant pleaded that the plaintiff bad hail
every facilitx of examining the ship before be purchased
it. Upon this, therefore. the case rested.
dlr. Msanyarr first put the contract in evidence. He
also called witnesses to prove that the vessel had been
lannehed in 1815. The contract, howerer, averred, that
Ithail been built in 1918; so far, therefore. there was a
departure from the terms of the agreement. It was also
proved to be unsound.
Mr. SCAULITT endeavoured to meet this ease. by say-
ing he would show that the vessel was not UMW.
when, she was launched iota the River. It was usual to
launch the vessel ant, and they complete the inside
wort: afterwards, so that in fact it was not finished until
816.
The Carte Jessica here observed. that a house was
said to be built whoa the walls and roof were finished.
Mr. ticansatre then said. he was prepared to prove
that the Beaufort was befit of the West of England
timber.

tract as to the time of beilding the vessel. that the ver-
dict most be for the plaintiff.
The defendant not being is a condition to do that
the Jury found for the plaintiff, as to the damages in the
declaration, subject. however. to an arbitration in the
usual terms.
