Description
This is a writ of error to the circuit court of the District of Columbia for the county of Washington. Kownslar brought the original action in November 1832, against Clarke, upon the following letter of guarantee: 'Mill creek, Vireginia. Conrad Kownslar: Dear sir, if you will make James Miles of this city your agent, as you intimated to him, I will see your money paid in due course of sales. He asks five per cent commission; and will take all intended for this market. He wishes an answer. Your obedient servant, Matthew St Clair Clarke. Washington, the 27th of September 1828.' Kownslar received the letter; and sent paper accordingly to Miles, between November 1828 and December 1829; amounting (as the declaration avers) to the value of 8396 dollars and 75 cents, part of which paper was afterwards returned: and upon the sales of the residue there remains due and unpaid (as the declaration avers) to Kownslar, the sum of 4238 dollars and 62 1/2 cents, after deducting commissions: to recover which sum the action was brought.
