O'Neil—Claim £lßs6d. , 3 The plaintiff stated that £1 3s had been paid. The defendant called in and got a jar from witness, and said that he would return it in a few days or pay for it. He did not return it for two months, and witness declined to take it. The price usually charged for such jars was 8s 6d. Edward O'iNeil said he borrowed the jar, on condition that if he broke it he would pay for its. There was nothing more about paying for it. Mr Winning never aiked him for a return of it, but sent in his bill. He did not promiie to send it in a few days. His Worship said the defendant ought to have returned the jar sooner, but plaintiff ought to have reminded him of returning it, aa it would have been a small matter to send him a note demanding its return. He would give judgment for £1 3s, and order the jar to be returned. The Court then rose.
