Benny v Friedlander.

(Before his Honor Mr Juatica Dennitton and a Special Jury of twelve. The case was resumed on Tuesday. Evidence was led for the defence as opened by Mr KusßelJ, coneiating of a denial of the allegations that 1038 among the Hook had occurred in the degree Btated in tbe claim, or that any losa had resulted from the careless ness of those acting for the defendants. Mr Parnell addressed the jury upon tha defence, and Mr Stringer followed for the plaintiff. The oniy question the jury had to consider was whether or not loss had been occasioned to the plaintiff by the aotion of the defendant. Mr Stringer having reviewed the evidence, His Honor summed up, directing the jury to find if any damages had bean sustained, »nd if so, how muob. The delay in bringing the aotion had been for the best p&rt explained, but it was bound to prejudice the defendants cese. The question of nominal damages was not for the jury, nor that the proper parties were suing j and that the legal point s were in order bad to be taken as granted for the purposes of tha verdict. The plaintiff claimed loss on account of a fall in market values, owing to delay caused in the sale of the sheep by the defendant, but tbe evidence on that point was not very strong or oouolusive. The long lapse of time necessarily made most of the evidence weak. The evidence brought by the defence contradicted in every detail that of the witnesses for the plaintiff, and it was for the jury to sift it and see what was to be believed. The evidence all through with regard to mis conduct needed no comment from his Honor' The shepherd in charge of tbe fkck appeared to have had the oorfidence of everybody concerned, and to have been left entirely to himself to do she best he could for the sheep. He had deposed that be had don« bo, and had received no instruo tions one way or another as to the management. Of cour c the jury could find a treßpesp, and hold that the parties taking poaesßion of property were liable for any deterioratiun that had taken plaoe._ If so the jury could say how much deterioration taken place, and give ihc plaintiff a verdict had for the amount The jury retired at 1 30, and returning in five and twenty minutes gave a verdict for the plaintiff under Ihe second head of the claim for 1.200. Mr Stringer reserved a\\ questions of law.
