Court Case	Court case involving Alexander Hoadly (Snr) and his nephew - probably Henry Hoadly, who was a coach painter / herald painter. Reported in the London Times. The Times: Friday May 17th 1867 - Page 11 HOADLEY V. JENKINS Mr Beasley was council for the plaintiff; and Mr Joyce and Mr. Rigby for the defendant. The action was brought by the plaintiff, a coachbuilder at Kensington, to recover 76l. 12s. for a waggonette and repairs thereto. The defendant pleaded his discharge under a composition deed. The plaintiff had refused to assent to the deed, but the requisite majority of creditors has assented to a composition of 2s. 6d. in the pound, and the only question in this case was whether the amount the plaintiff was entitled to had been tendered to him or to a person authorised by him to receive it. The tender, in point of fact, was made to the plaintiff's nephew, who was in his employ as a coach painter, but had no authority to cast in this matter. The nephew refused to take the money, and it was not left. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, finding that the nephew was not authorised to accept the tender.
