Plaintiff denied this, and His Honour gave a verdict against the defendant.

Clement J. Cowell v S. Baker: Plaintiff, a brewer, sued for the value of a firkin of ale, supplied in June, 1880. Defendant, a dealer, did not dispute having received the ale, but said it was an understanding that the amount was to be outset in bottles, plaintiff having told him he could take any quantity of “imperials”. He failed to satisfy His Honour on this point, and a verdict was given for the amount claimed.

County Court

Saturday, May 13th: Before G. Russell Esq.

Cowell v Huntley: Claim for 10s. 6d., balance of a beer account. The case came on at the last court, but was adjourned in order that the defendant might have an opportunity of going through the plaintiff`s books. This, however, had not been done, the plaintiff refusing to allow the defendant to do so.

His Honour ordered the plaintiff to let the defendant go through his books then, and after a lapse of some little time they returned into court.

Mr. Mowll, who appeared for the defendant, said that his client had been charged £1 10s. a barrel for beer and disputed the claim on the ground that, according to a verbal agreement, the charge was only to be £1 7s. 6d.

The plaintiff stated that he had supplied the defendant with beer amounting to over £100, and that they had a verbal agreement that the charge for the beer should be £1 7s. 6d. per barrel for cash, and £1 10s. for credit. The present claim was for credit.

The defendant disputed this and stated that it was an agreement only for £1 7s. 6d. a barrel to be charged, and that when the invoices were sent in he told plaintiff that he should not pay 30s. a barrel.

The plaintiff said that it was a rule of the trade to charge 30s. for credit and £1 7s. 6d. for cash. They could find several of the defendant`s receipts with the 2s. 6d. taken off.

The receipts were then referred to, and the plaintiff found to be correct.

His Honour gave judgement for the plaintiff, with costs.
