COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 7. •
• RAVIMSCROIT 0. ARCOSOLD, Est.
Mr. Sergeant Ons Low stated, that the plaintiff in this
OKe wean wig-makerand d of considerable eminence
r 'siding in Sarle-street, Liocola's Inn, and the defen-
dant a gentleman at the bar, whose learning and talents
-ever. well known and appreciated by the profmsion.—
,t 6, action was brought to recover the sem of 13/.10e.,
in respect of dressing the defendant's. wig from the
year.of 1/118 to 1821. It was customary among gen-
*Wizen ra(' the defendant's profession to leave their wigs
tat Westminster, from whence they were fetched by the
plaintiffsAervants, three times a week, dressed and re-
mei. The charge would be acknowledged by every
body to lee extremely moderate, when the time, labour,
and distaste were considered. The sum charged for
each &reefing was only 30. Evidence was then pro-1
doerd to prove the work done, and the amount of the
bill.
Mt. Sergeant TAZDT addressed the Jury for the de-
readier. He should prove that the wig had not been
'deemed by.the plaintiff during the whole time specified
in the account, the defendant having been abroad part
rig that time. Besides this, he should further reduce
the account by shelling that part of the money claimed,
if due to SOY person, wee due to the plaintiff's assignees,
helossiste been a bankrupt at the commencement of the
tyrant. 'The Learned Sergeant then went on to deny
the penctiee mentioned by his brother Onslow I the fre-
!Wean of the dressings given to a gentleman's wig de-
ism/di*, in his opinion, as much on the taste of the
owner as.on his business. All the gentlemen of the
liar were not like. his Learned brother. Mr. Sergeant
