 It is in evidence tliat, long after the time when the mills on the Beau Rivage ought to havebrcn coni- 
 pli ated, to wit : nearly a year, they were examined in the presence of JeanDerocher, one of the U,s. 
 pomlents, David Ross, Esquire, of Montreal, the Agent of the Appellant, the miller, and Mr. Lclievre 
 a Notary. |lhe dam, and raceway was examined bythe same persons, at the .same time. \ raemorm' 
 (lun. was made, in the presence of al'i these parties, by Mr. Lclif^vre, of the state of the mill, and of 'tlie 
 dam aiKl raceway. Ihis memorandmu (No. 15, of Record) establishes the various things wherein the 
 Respondents had fa.Ud to comply with their contract. A delay, for the compleating of ilieso things 
 was asked by Jean Deiocher, and granted by Mr. Ross, on behalf of the Appellant. The Respcndeiils 
 neglecting still to fulhl their engagements, the Appellant, at the termination of the delay, caused a 
 Frotust to be served on the Respondents, and breught the present action. 
 
 The Court bi-low (disscntiente His Honor the Chief Justice) dismissed the Appellant's action, with 
 costs, and it is from this judgment that the present .A.ppcal is brought.
