Court OF Common Pleas


Laras vs.. Ed,card Guilaume Merle.-The plain
tiff in Feb 1871, received IL bales Of cotton, per
ship Clifton, from Now Orleans, and ordered them
to BE- placed in the extensive store Of the defendant
near Dover street, running through from Water TO
Front. Three or four days after the property had
the defendant commended that but 81 bales had been
delivered, and refused to account for nor he
present action was therefore brought. On beAa3 OF
the plaintiff, three ar four carmen who stated that
they were ularlysccnsed, but were journeymen
to William Brown, " a boss carman," testified to
having delivered II bales at the store, for which
the superintendent refused TO give a receipt, al
thossh they had to sign such to the mate OF the
ship on receiving them. These receipts were
produced. la one or two instances there was q
trifing discrepancy, bat Mr.. Western sontended
that they were written by sturdy men whose labor
nina OF a crow-bar than the aelicateiy tapered
ones of his antagonist counsel, and if the letters
were not all formed with peculiar precision and
nisety, it could easily be accounted for. They
were clear on one point-that Of delivering the n
bales-and that was all which was necessary fully
to establish the plaintiffs case. The marks on the
bales were much deaced, owing to the last season
being an extremely wet one mt New Orleans Ii
was shown that Mr.. Merle had about Is, COO bales Of
cotton at the time in his store every Of which
was carefully examnedi it went out, in order to
discover possible, the four bales asserted have
been gone, but without effect, and the proof was
conclusive in his mind that but 81 bales had been
received from the plaintiff A person taking goods
storage is liable its safe return unless be can
show felony to have been committed, and the
goods stolen while in his possession. This, Mr..
Merle did not pretend TO have been the case. The
Jury considered that the property had been de-
liverea, and gave verdict in favor Of plaintiff for
Sl76 I5c.
For plaintiff, Mr. Henry M. westcrn.-Mr Ed
ward Sanford for defendant.
