integrity. Yet he would makca good noml-
nee for the Louisville Convention. The

John f. Randall CT al VS.. Charles Smith. Action
to recover damages for alleged breach of contract
Plaintiffs allege that defendant sent to broker in
this city to get him freight of cargo of coal at S225
per ton; that the broker procured of plaintiffs the
der and forwarded it to the captain who upon find
ing that it was from Randall e. McAllister with
whom he had had trouble, refused to take it, and SO
wrote the broker, who informed Randall & McAllis-
ter to that effect. Plaintiffs say Goa, was scarce in
this city, and they could not get vessels, and they
thereby suffered great damage to the amount of one
thousand dollars.
Defendant says the order did not amount to a
charter party, it of such character as would
bind Randall & MeAllister for damages, and there
ore he was not bound to take the order unless he
chose; that he had previously had some trouble with
Randall q McAllister and they told him he should
never carry any more coal for Them Gu trial.
