but the learned jn lje leclined to interfere witli the tcrdict which hail b.n so pronounci and corded, and i vttitually ri fused to grant a cerlincati'. Mr. Kerr now moved for a trial on the.ground that there had Ism a miscarriage on the part of "the jury, and tliat justice had not en Am, it, ing clear that if the jury na.1 le aware of the nil st.it of the law on the subject of costs they would have awarded dsiuages to an amount exceeding Tliat was the' law under the County Courts Act, but an anomaly existed on the subject, inasmuch as if the cause had ln tried in the city, the amount recovered here wnuld have sufficed under the City Small IV bts Courts Act. to carry out the intentions of the jury. It was submitted, then fore, that tlie jury ought to have had the op)ortuiiity'of reconsidering their and tlat.

as the learned judge had rt used to adopt tliat course, justice reuired, that the cause should he sent down for a new trial, otherwise the plaintiff, in onler to get his damages, would be comi lleU to pay his own oets, which might amount to MV. The Cor KT. however, was of opinion that it was out of their power to grant a rule. The course adopted' at the trial by the learned judge was correct, as the verdict had Urn recorded. The jury had nothing to do with tho consequences of their verdict on the subject of costs, which was enacted in order to rontine certain causes of action to tlie inferior tribunals.

There ild not I any rule. The Chief. Baron. It "dot not apjvar that tlie jury asked to infiinued what the Uw was on the subject of the costs.

I'nder these circumstances it was submitted that the further proceedings in these actiins UiouIJ be ttayt on payment of the interest and all the costs. The Col' RT. however, was of opinion that no case had Wen made out for their inU i erence on half of the defendant. their default a breach of the condition oil the lnd had l.t committed, which eiitnled the plaintiffs to take these proceedings and the Court had no power to deprive him of the right thus legally acquired.

New Trial Pater. hai featiierstone. This was an action on a bill of exchange, to which the defendant pleaded that tlie bill had been intrusted to one alllsto le discounted merely, and that be had fraudu lently negotiated it and pasM it to the plaintiff, And that there had not boen any consideration for the endorsement to YSalln or to the plaintiff. At the trial the Chief Baron thought that the evidence riven bv the defendant in futmort of this pita was insufficient to call ujion the plaintiff to prove that he bad given consideration, and ultimately a verdict was jlirected for. the plaintiff.

This was a rule for a new trial on the ground that the evidence was sufficient, and ought to have been submitted to the jury the Chief l.aron. Mr. Jamf and Mr. M.

The earlier cases on this subject were no doubV in accordance with the course adopted at the trial, but more recent decisions had qualified those cases, and their general tendency was to establish the rule that if there lie any evidence' to go to the jury to show that a bill had been in any way obtained from the defendant by fraud and passed to the plaintiff. that was sufficient to call ujion the latter to prove his title by shoaing that he had given consideration, Without going into the facts of this case, it as enough to say that such evidence had booh given by the defendant, and that consequently there must be a new trial, linle absolute SUiingt at sVist Prim, Ti'tMrnint'cr, hfvrt Mr. Harm WaTsox and a Cmnmnn "WALMSLEVY.

The defendant, among other pleas, pleaded that he drew and endorsed tlie bill to one Frankenheim to get it discounted, who returned it to him to get the acceptance altered by writing the particular branch of the London and Westminster Bank at which it was made payable that when it a as so returned to him it as endorsed by Frankeit heim tliat tlie defendant delivered it to one Edkins to get the said alteration made, and he, in fraud of defendant and Frankenheiiu, negotiated the said bill, and that defendant never received any value or consideration for the said bill, and that the plaintiff never was a loiuifidt holder, and took it witli notice of the Mr, Barsarh shortly narrated the facts of the case, and called the plaintiff, who said, lam a solicitor.

After Mr. Laxton had addressed the jury for the defence, the defendant was put into the aitness lsix, and, Nine sworn, said. I am a dealer in fancv article, and carry on business iu Kew Bond street.

(Beore' Afr. Commitsioner Evaxs.) IX RETHE LOXIiOXAXIl EASTERX BANKIXR CORPORATIOX. This was a sitting to hear anapplication disputing the adjudication ot lankruptcy against the above bank. Mr. Koxburgh, instructed by Messrs.

Oliverson, Lavie, and l'cachey, api'Mared for tlie official manager to dispute, Mr. Bagley and Mr. Linklater to supiiort the adjudication. Mr. Bacley" took an objection as to the right of the.

omciai manager ot tlie ourt ot tbanccry to be heard in tlie matter. Mr. KiiXBL'RCH said tliat loth the hank and the official manager had been served with the adjudication. The Cci.M.MisvinxER. Was the official manager' a jiartner Mr.

KoxRL'Ro ll replied that the official manarrer was now the bank itself and quoted the 11th and 12th of Victoria, cap. 45, where it declared that an official manager, duly became invested with all the rights of the bank. The Commispioxer. I will not decide the point The case mnst proceed, Mr. Bowman gave evidence of the petitioning creditor's debt which arose on a bill of exchange, arid on which a judgment had been obtained in the Court of Exchequer.

By KoxBrRGH. The. judgment obtained in April on a writ issue 1 against the company in January last. Mr. llo YIil Kiat contended that no judgment obtained against the couijiany after the 21at of December, 1K57, was valid, and conseifuently that no act of bankruptcy had oeen committed.

The bank stopped payment in March, On the 2oth of November, 1S57, an onliatas maile dissolving the comny, and on the 21st of December, 1H57, official managem were apKinteL The writ was issued on the of January, l.Vi8. At that time, there existed no such company as that sued. It had been dissolved, and could not i5 sued. Section 10 of the 1 1th and 12th of Victoria provided that after the appointment of an official manager all suits in respect of debt previously contracted should be against the official manager. By clause lti the company was absolutely dissolved on the apjiointment of an omciai manager.

The estate having bevn vested in the official manager, it was clearly the object of tlie Legislature that actions, should hot be brought against persons who had not a farthing. The 73d section was also decisive of the point that after the of an official manager co action could 1 brought against tlie company. The writ having been thus issued informally, all the proceedings were invalidi Mr. Baulky urged that a similar objection had been unsuccessfully taken in the British Bank case. Mr.

Baron Martin had made an onler in favour of the plaintiff, but judgment not to be available for any other purpose than preceedings in liankruptcy. An application had been made by the liank to Mr. Baron Martin, but without success, Mr. The application was on another ground than that now urged. Mr.

LiNKLAlER. It Is but right to state that in the British Bank ca.se the action on which the etitioning creditor's debt was founded waa brought the bank was dissolved. Mr. Ballky cited the 7th and Mh of Victoria, sec. 23, setting forth tliat, notwithstanding the termination of a company, its officers should lie deemed to continue so long as any debt should remain unsettled.

It would le an extraordinary state of things if a creditor could make a comny bankrupt and yet could not bring an action against such cciiijiany. Vice Chancellor Wood had declined to stay the proceedings in bankruptcy in this case. The section referred to by Mr. Koxburgh did not touch tliat to which he (Mr, Bacley) referred. The Commissioner.

It is contended that an action can; not 1 brought after an order dissolving a company has been made, is there an order for the absolute dissolution of the company in this case 3 Mr. KoxBrucii. Yes. The Commissioner (to Mr. Bagley).

And you contend that proceedings can lie taken against a company after there has been such a dissolution Mr. B.UiLEY'. The Commissioner. The act relied on by Mr. Roxburgh was passed four years afttr that upon which you rely.

Mr. Ijxklatfr. Your Honour will observe the words, notwithstanding the termination of the company." Mr. B.UH EY cited a later Act 20th and 21st of Victoria, sees. 1, 7, cap.

78 in further support of his proposition also a decision of Mr. Commissioner Holrcyd. The Commissioner. The Act of Parliament say that in a certain case a coininy shall dissolved. Mr.

B.uiLEY urged that it could not have been intended by the Legislature that tlie Act cited by the other side should interfere ith the rights, of any creditors. If the objection, was good for anything it ought to have been taken earlier lef ore r. Baron Martin. Tlie Commissioner. It is puzzling.

If the official manager thinks there is no company why should he come here Proceedings against nothing can do no harm. Mr. BAdLEY. The creditor was allowed to proceed to judgment, Mr.SiiiRi.EY'. clerk to the Solicitor for the petitioning creditors, proved the service of a notice upon Mr.

Thomas Chad wick, one of the directors of the company. He was not aware before serving the notice that an order haiLbeen made by the Court of Chancery for the ilissoliitionbf tie company. Mr. Stewart, examined liy Mr. BAr.LEY", said ha was at pointed manager of the bank on the lth of AprRL I85i hen Mr.

Chadaick was a director. 1 Mr. Koxburgh urjisl that, according to theterms of tlm oth section of the ith and gth of Victoria, cap. Ill, no person but those who had obtained execution could take proceedings, and here execution was restrained. Tho charter of the company having been produced to show tliat the lank was a trading Company, The Commissioner asked what the jvtitioners expected to get, supiosiEg they went on.

Mr. Bag LEY'; A great deal. The Commissioner. But I should like to know a little. Mr.

Bagley To get rid, among other things, of certain preferences. One of the great objects is to obtain an inquiry in this court The petitioners do not like hole and corner work. The Commissioner. I will look into the matter and give my judgment on a future day. Judgment deferred accordingly.

IX RE WILLIAM TYLER. The bankrupt was a printer, of Bolt court. This was the certificate meeting. Mr. Barrett supported Mr.

Clarke, for the assignees, did not object to the granting of a third class certificate. His Honocr said there were accommodation hills in the case. The accounts, it must be further noticed, commenced in December, with a deficiency of f.OJtt. Both accommodation bill and trading while in such a deficiency were greatly to be reprobated. The bankrupt would recei attird cia certificate, after one year, tuspentioo, with.

protection, no one objecting If tha matter depended, up him be would refuse the certineate altogether. IX RE THE METRO POUT AJ SALOO.X OMXIBC? COMFAXT (LDtTfaD).

panics having become so very general as to be but little Mr. D'EYXOOCRT took this view of the matter, and, con short of universal, it may be necessary to state that they victing the prisoner in both sentenced ii to six must be received as tx nrit only in the first instance, al months" imprisonment in the House cf Correction for one though supported by affidavit In the present case th i offence; and four month for the other.

Police constable C43. who took the prisoners into custody, said tlie woman gave an address which, upon inquiry, proved to 1 false, while her companion refused to give any address at all. The female prisoner said she had given a correct address. but she waa a married woman with two childre and she supposed her husband, who was a respectable man, and hadlived about the same place his life, would not acknowledge her, on account of her disgraceful position.

The accep rs were written to on the subject, but they denied that the bills had ever, been accepted ly them. Mr. Charles Rudolph Wessell, one of the managers of the Union Bank, said he knew the prisoner as being a partner in the firm of Barrow and Uamond, carrying business in Basinghall street as wholesale stationers, Mr. Barrow, the prisoner's partner, first came to the bank with a letter of introduction on tne bin oi eurnary, and ne opened an account with part cash and part bills, and it was upon that oicasion he paid in the two bills in questiim, dated January, and purporting to be drawn by Barrow ana Hamond, one fir4. accepted apparently by K.

Spittle went in first and engaged him in conversation, and then witness entered and produced the two lis of exchange. He told the prisoner he must consider bin self in custody on the charge of forging the acceptances tt the bills unless he could give a satisfactory account of them. After some consideration the prisoner asked what they were going to do with him, and on being told he must a company them to the station he said, ell; I did not orge them.

1 would rather my partner were present" He was then taken to the police station. Alderman ClIALUS wished to know if the prisoner told them where his jiartner was Witness said he had done so. Sergeant Spittle said he accompanied the last witness to 72, liasinghaU where he found the prisoner in the ounting liouse. He asked if he could see Mr. Barrow, and the prisoner said he could not, as he had left town that morning.

The prisoner mentioned the name of a place, to which he said his partner had cone. Brett then came in and showed the bills, and witness asked prisoner if he knew who had forged tlie bills. He replied that he had not forged them, but he would rather not say anything more in the absence of Mr. Barrow. Alderman Cn.tl.us said it was not necessary to proceed any further with the inquiry at present, as there was sufficient evidence for all the purposes of a remand and the prisoner was then remanded.
