Bill 11 Aug. 1711. No ans.
Plaintiff Edward Betty of [ ], county Fermanagh, yeoman, sheweth.
That one Dennis Mitchell an inhabitant of county Fermanagh who dealt in timber and morte conveyances for husbandry, more particularly carrs, he Dennis Mitchell in June 1707 applied to PLT. and said that in as much as PLT. inhabitation lay on or near the water side at a convenient lease for Mitchell to land his carrs he would be extremely obliged to PLT. if PLT. would suffer him to land his carrs at PLT.”s habitation and asked PLT. to give his yard room for said carrs, and that if PLT would sell same he would recompence PLT. for his trouble and the use of the yard. That PLT. for some time refused, but Mitchell continued his entreaties till at length PLT complied and permitted Mitchell on his order to leave the carrs in PLT.’s yard and to deliver same to Mitchell’s order [ to those who had ordered the carrs] and to sell other carrs at the current price. That accordingly Mitchell on 12 June 1707 left the first parcel of carrs and so continued until Mitchell and his boatman brought to PLT.’s yard 299 carrs which said 299 PLT sold and delivered to Mitchell’s order from time to time, viz: 113 carrs to persons in the scheduled annexed, and the remaining 186 carrs PLT. sold to common chapmen at the rate of 3/8 each, which was the best rate obtainable and Mitchell approved of PLT.’s sales for him. That during the time said carrs were being delivered to PLT.’s yard and while same were exposed for sale PLT. on said account paid to Mitchell the several sums set out in the annexed schedule amounting in the whole to 38-2/92 pounds which is considerably more than the money PLT. received by the sale of said 186 carrs and besides 3 pounds which PLT. charges he ought to be allowed for his services and care in looking after and disposing of the carrs. Now so it is Mitchell having got PLT.’s debt as aforesaid and having failed in his credit and become broke in his fortune in obliged to “sailick” and abscond himself lest PLT. or his other creditors shall arrest him. That Mitchell ambesling with one Daniel Mallory and Derby Couran now give out that he delivered at PLT.’s yard a much greater quantity of carrs than is set forth and that Mallory and Couran were equally concerned with him therein, and that he (Mitchell) only had a right to one third, and that PLT. never hold Mallory and Couran to account
