Brune 6 for complainant, and Mr James {°h"for defendant.-The plaintiff's case- which, by the way hadI been adjourned from the last court-went to show that the barrels were ordered, one in January and the other in April, 1889, and that no complaint was made as to the quality, neither had any Payment been made. Directly, however, application was made by the company's agents, Messrs Stubbs & Co., a letter was received by the latter some mouths after the delivery of the second barrel, stating that it did not trait defendant's customers, but no complaint at all was made when Mr Brittain called-only immediately upon proceedings being taken.—The defendant's statement showed that the first barrel was presented to him, and that the travel- ler stated that if it did not suit his customers he was not to get paid for it. In point of fact, he tapped it, tasted it, and supplied some of his customers with it, and they did not like it, and yet he allowed it to remain half drunk in his cellar. He did not then complain to the firm, but when Mr Cole, the traveller came round in April he gave the former a glass to taste. Mr Cole suggested that it tasted of the cask, remark- ing, I will send you another barrel." This was duly despatched, tapped, and tasted by de- fendant, who then handed it to his customers, when he found it. was worthless but he allowed it to remain in his cellar for 12 months before he sent it back and further, he left the beer run over his yard, in order to lessen the expense of haulage.—In giving a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount and costs, the judge said he would not have believed that any man could ever be so foolish as to act in the way defendant had done. .r.
