CIVIL COURT CASE

Josepg CULSHAW v Richard WOODHOUSE

The plaintiff, who is an innkeeper in Preston, sued the defendant,

a farmer, in Ribbleton, for the sum of £13 10s 8d for money lent

and drink supplied.

The defendant paid £4 18s 2d into the Court.

The evidence for the plaintiff, who used to keep the Bowling Green

Inn, Ribbleton, was to the effect that some time ago the defendant

had a number of hay-makers in his service, and that he got 140 gallons

of ale on his account, and that he had himself borrowed 30s from him.

The defendant said he had only had 50 or 60 gallons of ale, and that the 

sum paid into the court covered all that he owed.

Eventually, a verdict for the plaintiff for £9 17s 6d was given.
