HALL versus HIGHAM
The Plaintiff, who lives at Bolton, sued Joseph Higham, of the BLACK TIGER,
Church Street, Preston, for 15s. for a dog. The Plaintiff stated that, about 3 years ago,
he bought a dog, for the purpose of fighting, from the defendant, which be
agreement (produced) he was to return and to receive back his money, if it
did not suit him. The dog proved "doffy" and he took it back to the defendant,
but Higham had neglected to fulfill his agreements. Higham said that Hall had
sent the dog back by tramp, from Bolton, and it was much punished. Hall said
he brought it back himself, and that he and Higham had tested its pugnacious
capabilities in a chamber, at the Black Tiger. Higham told the Court that the
dog had since died.
The Plaintiff produced the following agreement: "Dear Friend, if this dog, Paday,
does not suit you, if he proves dufy (sic), your money is redy (sic) for him back
any time. But I hope you are not going to fight him Right of at hand (sic) for wen (sic)
he fights I am willing to do a good share in the Wager, or it all for that matter,
for I know he is a good dog. I hope that I hope you will not fight him without
letting me know. I received the money for your friend. I shall bring the
other dog to Bolton next week. You can have that if you choose. So no more at present.
From Yours truly
His Honour thought it best to give the judgement of Solomon, and
order them to divide the amount.
