ANSWERING FOR ONE’S NEIGHBOUR.
It is not always safe to do, what is very often done, and is considered an ordinary piece of good-nature, and which when a man refuses to do, he is by thoughtless people called very “ unaccommodating.” The Court of Appeal has lately by its decision confirmed a verdict of £250 against a gentleman who allowed a friend to refer to him, and he has besides to pay the costs of two actions. He was asked by the ow-ner of a house in Holborn whether he could recommend his friend as a safe tenant, and as being in a responsible position, and he answered in the affirmative. His want of firmness and caution has cost him pretty dear.
