— CLAIM FOR DIGGING STONE AT LISS.—Edward Knight v. John Wright—£1 15s. 10d. This also was a claim for digging stone in the parish of Liss, for the purpose of making roads under the enclosure. Plaintiff deposed that he had dug 431 cubic yards, for which he was to be paid 7d. a yard, amounting to £12 13s. 2d., of which he had received £10 17s. 6d.; that the arrangement was at first for 6d. a yard, but that defendant afterwards agreed to give him 1d. more. To this defendant’s answer was, first, that the quantity dug, and second, that after plaintiff had dug a portion of stone at 6d. a yard according to agreement, he applied for an additional 1d. which he (defendant) agreed to give him, and he had paid him 7d. a yard for all that he had dug subsequent to that fresh agreement, and he proved this by putting in several receipts signed by plaintiff amounting to £10 17s. 6d. Judgement for defendant.
