Smith v Smith
The plaintiff, some time ago, kept the Sir William Wallace Inn, Canal Street; the defendant was Mr. S. Smith, soap-boiler.
The amount claimed was 17s 2d, for drink supplied to the "free and independent" burgesses of St. George's Ward, on the occasion of Mr. W. Paley's election as a councillor.
MR. Watson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Blackhurst for the defendant.
It was stated that Mr. S. Smith ordered the plaintiff to fill drink for the parties who were then in his house, and that on that order he filled drink to the amount of 17s. 2d. It was then reckoned up, and Mr. Smith said it was all right, he would pay it; but the plaintiff never saw him afterwards.
In answer to Mr. Blackhurst, the plaintiff said he had never sent a bill to Mr. Smith. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Paley's son came to the house and told him to fill drink, for which they said Mr. Smith would pay.
Mr. S. Smith stated that he did not call for any liquor but what he paid for at the time. He paid the landlord the demand he made upon him - some five or six shillings.
He went on to say, "I never said I would pay the 17s. 2d. I believe it is a very wet ward in that neighbourhood." (laughter).
Mr. Blackhurst asked, "Do you think St. George's Ward is a wetter ward than Fishwick Ward?" (laughter)
The plaintiff said, "Well that is strange talk; he said he would pay me.
Plaintiff non-suited.
