ress with Mr. Nicholas Jenny to be dyed. In q
mistake Mr.. Jenny gave to his wife 3 ilk dress '
# more value belonging to Mr.. John D. Per-
iue, OF Salisbury, Md. Mrs. Span instead Of
Ar. Jenny of the mistake, had the
lress made up, and refused TO give it up when
unless she was paid So or Sc ex-
penses she had been at for altering the dress
to suit her shape, as Mrs. Perdue was tall,
slim lady, and Mrs Spana short and thick Que;
she alleging the mistake was Mr.. Jenny's, and
she was not to blame for it. MI. Jenny &C
coriingly paid to Mr.. Perdue the value of the
dress SIP, and brought suit before Alderman

WAS commenced under chapter 100 OF the Re |
yiscf Code, which gives Justices jurisdiction |

Jenny conducted his own case. The defence
plead an Offset os Sls for the value of the stuff
dress. This the Alderman stated could not be
received, as section second OF that law says
that in such case there shall be no Offset. But
