In the Peterhead Sheriff Court yesterday Sheriff -Brown presiding an action was raised at the instance of James Stephen, retired fishcurer, North Street Fraserburgh, against.John Skinner, fishcurer, Iraser' burgh, which raised a question of damages for 100 for breach pf bargain.

Pursuer's summons states that the defender purchased from the pursuer, and ihe pursuer sold to. the. defender, 600 empty barrels he-, longing to the pursuer, at the price of six shillings per barrel, amounting in all to "the sum of 180. On ot about the 9th of. August, 1884, the pursuer had'a, large number of empty barrels suitable for the packing of herrings lying in a store situated in School Street, '-Fraserburgh.

The said price was payable on 16th August, but defender at that time failed to pay the same, and to take deliveryf the barrels, and had subsequently-refused to do so. The pursuer had in consequence sustained serious loss and damage by tha loss of the niarket for said barrels, and had incurred considerable expense in connection with the transaction, and such loss and damage would bo continued by-the failure of the defender to implement the bareain, such loss for past and future being not less as Lord Privy Seal, in' room of'LordCarlingford, wWfi.iwtframent is necessitated by ill-health. to the duties of that office, 'Lord There will be no dissolution this year."
