COWLES.\nWhere a person who had contracted to sell and deliver a certain quantity of jork, delivers a part and refuses to deliver the remainder, he cannot recover for the part delivered.\nAotioN of debt commenced before a justice of the peace for a balance due for pork sold and delivered, tried before Manly, Judge, at the last term of Wilkes Superior Court.\nThe plaintiff agreed to deliver to the defendants 1500 lbs. of pork by tile 1st January, 1853, at 6 cents per pound, to be paid for in demands which defendants already held against the plaintiff, and the balance, if any, one half goods the other cash.\nNo pork was delivered at the time stipulated, but on 6th and 24th of January of that year, two parcels were delivered, making together 1033 lbs., which were received by the defendants and appropriated by them.\nSome short time afterwards, an attempt was made to ascertain and settle the balance due, when it was admitted $18 49 was due to the plaintiff for the pork delivered after deducting all the claims which defendants held against him, except a small judgment of two or three dollars, that was out in the hands of a constable: plaintiff was willing that this should be deducted from the $18 49, and to tak& an order for it, and demanded a settlement of the residue, saying that he was entitled to have the balance in cash, as he had taken up sufficient goods after the bargain was made.\nThe defendants refused to settle unless pork was delivered to make up the 1500 lbs., \u2022whereupon the plaintiff brought suit.\nIt appeared that the judgment for two or three dollars was afterwards paid off by the plaintiff.\nHis Honor instructed the jury that if the obstacle to the settlement was the demand for full 1500 lbs. of pork, made as stated above, the plaintiff was entitled to recover his $18 49 (admitted to be due) in cash. Defendants excepted;\nVerdict for plaintiff and judgment. \u2022\nThe defendants appealed to the Supreme Court.\nNo counsel appeared for the plaintiff\nMitchell, for the defendants."
