showed interviews with Mr. North upon dates when Mr. North was actually in America. Clearly Mr. Julian had a memory which could not be relied upon, and he submitted that Mr. Sampson’s version was the true one.
Mr. Jones, in reply, commented on the fact that defendants had not placed Mr. North in the box.
His Honour said plaintiff had entirely failed to make out any retainer on the part of Mr. Carlyon. Plaintiff bad said he did not know of a letter written in regard to the visit to London, but he (the judge) believed he did, and as to the London visit plaintiff went upon the chance of getting the order for the furniture. Until Mr. North wrote plaintiff that he could not incur charges, plaintiff evidently had only one idea, and that was that he was acting for Mr. North. He must give judgment for defendant with costs.
