(Bofors the Lord Chainedlor and the Lords Julian) NEW CIOZEN . B coursaik. The following gentlemen were called within the bar upon being appointed Queen's ootinsel:—Mr. Lumle, Mr. Moore, Su Patrick Coliphouu, Mr. Soutane*, M r. Batt, and Mr. Vernon Luthington. coma r. BRIBTOWIL—INPONTANT (MCC JOBBING OA= 11.1ATKOM The Lord Chancellor delivered the judgment of the court this moruing. The bill was filed by the plaintiff to enforce specific performance of a contract to purchase 200 shares in Overend, Gurney, and Co. The shares wore purchased on the 9th May 1866, for the settling day, the lbth of May, but on the May, of that month the bank payment. The defendant' who were jobbers, and not_ ts, rokers, paid the purchase money for the shares, and the names of seventeen parson to whom they had sold them were furnished to the plaintiff, who executed transfers of the shares ; share certificates were handed ON (1' to the defendants, but the transfers were never registered, and the plaintiff's name remaining on the register, he was planed on the list of coutribitories, and hail paid a call un the shares under the winding-up. ' The object of the suit was to compel the defendants to take a transfer of the shares, and to be indemnified in respect of the cull he had paid. and future calls under the winding-sp. lu the court below Vico-Chancellor 31-dius 1., Id that the defendants, who wore jobbers, and pan:ll34e mg on their own account, were bound themselves to take a Hamster of the shares, and were not relieved from that liability by furnishing the names of per sons to whom they had sold them, into whose teeposisibility they, and not the vendor, bad the means of investigation. The fact that tho bank bad stopped payment between the date of the contract and the tune fixed for completion, rendering it impossible for the plaintiff to de liver shares in a going concern, did not invalidate the cosi e e shares from the time of the contract being at the s risk. The plaintiff had relied on the de -1 ts in respect of this transaction, and was unable to make the sub-purchasers complete the transfers. The plaintiff must, therefore, be declared entitled to specific performance, and to be repaid by the defendants the amount of the call be had paid, with interest at 4 per cent., and to be indemnified against future calls. The defendants appealed. The contract was unwritten. It was agreed on both sides that it must be interpreted &c -oo:ding to the usages of the Stock Exchange, with which the plaintiff said he was familiar, and the defendants were obviously more so. In these circumstances the good faith of the transaction was resellaked by the plaintiff, and the conclusion on the facts which the court must opine to was that the whole 200 shares were duly apeepted and paid for by the transferees, and that they were as much bound as if they had executed the transfers. The plaintiff had, by the Vice-C'hancellor's decree, obtained indemnity against the defendants. If this were an ordinary con tract, the plaintiff's right would he clear. The Vice- Chancellor assumed it to be an ordinary contract ; bat what was the real contract between the parties P_ It was an unwritten contract, and must be inded by the custom of the Stock Exchange. It was recognised by that custom that the buyer was bound by the cont rac t t o pay for the shares sold to him, and to accept and execute the transfer in the name of the transferee, if called upon by the seller or vendor to do so. It was hard to understand the latter part of this provision —namely, that the stock jobber was bound to execute the transfer in the name of the transferee; but the whole of the evidence as to the custom of the Stock Exchange proved sufficiently that the jobber was recognised as a person who intervened ho tween the buyer and the subsequent holder of the shares. This then took the case out of the ordinary class of con tracts for sale where there was no intervening jobber, and it fixed the position of the jobber as that of a person who undertook to bring forward a dealer. The court was of opinion, after a careful examination of the evidence, that the names having been duly given and being unobjec tionable, and the plaintiff having himself accepted those names, and having executed transfers to these people, the defendants did fulfil their contract and any liability they originally took shifted to the transferees. Their lord ships fully agreed with the Court of Exchequer Chamber as to the principles laid down in " Grisael v. Bridowe." There must be a decree dismis , ing the bill with costs. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. After Term nisi Prins sittingi at Westminster.—(Befura the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) JOHNNY/NE r. COTHLII. The further bearing of this case was resumed this morning. The whole of the duy, up to the time of oar despatch leaving, was occupied with the addresses of the learned counsel on the evidence given on both aides. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings at Ni.i Prins in ldiddlesex.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Borill and a Special Jury.) HARRIS r. ISAAC AND ANOTHER. The plaintiff has been for many years engaged in trade upon the %e,t Coast of Africa, and for the last seven years be bas bad business transactions with the defend ants, Meurs. Isaac Campbell and Co. In September, 1867. be came to England, and two months afterwards he was arrested upon a ca. sa., at the suit of the defendants, for 6,886 g. The affidavit upon which the judge issued the espial' stated that there was reason to believe that the plaintiff was about to return to Africa. The present action was to recover damages upon the ground that the defendants bad maliciously caused the plaintiff to be arrested ; the plaintiff's care be lug that he had no pre wnt intention of returning to Africa. Mr. D. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. If. Jams appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Cohen for the defendants. _ _ In the course of the case it appeared that there were proceedings in the Court of Chancery, in which the accounts between the parties were to be investigated, and further that the present case must depend to a great extent upon the result of the accounts. Under there circumstances his lordship interposed, and it was agreed that the whole of the matters in difference should be referred to the arbitration of Mr. J. J. Powell, Q.C. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) (ionizes V. OODIUCH, LANA, PONDZIA AND INAIINT. Dr. Deane, Q.C., Mr. Giffard, QC., and Dr. Swabey for the petitioner; Serjeent Ballantine, Dr. Spinks, Q.C., Mr. Inderwick, and Mr. Youher for the respondent ; Ser jeant Parry and Dr. Tristram for Forder; Serjeant Bal. lantise and Mr. Willis for Kegley ; and Mr. Joyce for Lars This remarkable case was resumed this moiling, when Elizabeth Williams, a charwoman, who had worked for the parties in May and Jane, 1866, was called to corrobo rate the evidence already given respecting the visits of the corespondents to Mrs. Godrich. This witness spoke to a positive act of adultery with Forder. Afterwards told her that she was a disgrace to her "sect," and that her hus band would not allow her to work for her again. Went the next day to the house, but did not do any work. Had verr often seen her tipsy. trees-examined—Had never been charged by the res pondent with takilg things out of the house. Eliza Stephens, another servant, said that she had been in the respondent's servi te sixteen days. On one OCCas s.on her mistress charged her with a too great intimacy with the doctor; but she afterwards asked her to loot over her conduct. Witness agreed to do so. but one evening she came Lome, slapped witness's face, spat on her, and tore her dress off her back. The police came in, and recommended witness to go to bed. Told them tended their own business. (Laughter.) Summoned Mrs. Go drich for the as,ault, and the char.'s, was compromised by the payment of W., which was brought witness by her maeter's brother. Crean-examined—The police thought that witness was drunk, too, but they were quite wrong. (Laughter.) After come further evidence, Serjeent Ballantine addresee the jury for his respec tive clients, remarking that he had been instructed by two different solicitors. Severely criticising the conduct of Mr. Godrich, sea., he suggested that that gentleman would not have given such reckless evidence respecting his son's character if he had any idea that his daughter in-law had possession of his own letters. It was, how ever, pretty obvious that the petitioner was a very worthless fellow, and that if his wife had gone wrong he had nu one to thank for it but himself. Utterly miserable, the respondent had at last loft her home, audited commenced a suit against him for a divorce on the grounds of adultery and cruelty, and it was not until six mouths afterwards that the present petition had been filed. It was clear that the respondent was a person of a very unpleasant temper, and that when her husband came home drunk she bad very likely expre-sed her opinion in by no meant that gentle manner in which the jury would agree she ought to have done. (A laugh.) It was also clear that she was an uncomfortable mistress to live with; and all the witnesses that had b ren called against her were servants who admitted that they had quitted her service hating her with all their hrti and souls. But was their evidence eatiafacto.7 or probable On this point the learned gentleman dwelt at some len,;; and submitted. in conclusion, that it was not crediiile. As to Mr. Kelsey, who was now Mayor of Win chester, and was about us respectable a man as any in England, there was absolutely no case what ever. Mr. Kelsey had, in fact, been yeti hardly used. Ile had been charged with having paid visits on Sundays and Mondays; whereas he should be perfectly able to account for all the former days during the period laid in the petition. As to the, recnimivatory charges, and especially that which Dr. Deane ha 1 eo indignantly commented upon, he was afraid that he should be aide to prove it by the most conclusive evidence. The learned gentleman read o f letter from the petitioner to bin wife, praying her orgiveness for what he termed to a fatal occurrence," and admitting that he had wronged her to such an extent that to expect Ler entirely to obliterate it from her mind be a a sure would be an absurdity.

At the time of his arrest he was en deavouring to carry out the railway works which ho had commenced before the last bankruptcy. In slower to the Cemmianoner, the bankrupt said he was engaged in negotiations from which he expected to reap pecunisry benefit, and which would be of advantage to the creditors. . .

I wilt endeavour at the same time to maintain our growing credit, that in exhaustible fountain of resources, by religiously fulfilling the obligations far which the public faith of the nation is pledged, and by striving always to confirm the confi dence which it already begins to inspire both at home and abroad. The constitution has made the President the sole chief of the administration and I can therefore solemnly announce to you. since it is a question of acts exclusively my own, that there will be complete adminis trative morality during the period of my government.

The prisoner, who seemed to be labouring under great mental excitement, said that he had been twioe murdered.

THE EPSOM DIFFICULTY.—The managers of the Epsom Grand Stand having applied to the newer& for permission to advertise the noes at the Epsom Spring Meeting to be run over their newly laid out course, the Duke of Beaufort and Admiral Roue will, says the oort,sy Gazette, meet Messrs. Boding and Knowles at Epecin this.day(iaturday), to officially inspect the same. Their approval of the new "track" will in no way affect tho Ileiby end Oaks, however, which, us as been before explained, must be run over the re cognised "Derby course," and no other. Meanwhile, "the difficulty" between Mr. Studd and the Epsom authorities t, mains almost in slate quo ; for though Mr. 8. has some what modified his terms, they have not been acceded to by the other side. To prevent mistakes, let us explain that the term mentioned in a recent communication frum Mr. Studd's solicitors to the Grand Stand proprietors are as follows :—A present payment of 2,60 W., and a rent of 1,0001. per annum. The term to be 21 year, from the let of January, 1848, and the rent to commence from the Ist of January, 1869; so that the first year's rent will be in cluded in the 2,60 W. Furthermore, it is still Mr. Studd's intention to give half of the 2,30 W. towards the raw fund. Admiral howl will propose at the next general mooting of the Jockey Club that rule 39 be repealed, and the fol lowing substituted :—" In all handicaps when the highest weight aoospting is under Bst 121 b, it shall be raised to that weight, and the others in proportion." The adoption of the admiral's very sensible proposition would, according to Bet's L, prevent a repentant of the Warwick dispute against Bel Oiorno. The tiportiof Lie, putting the mat ter in another way. says the object of ` the proposed new rule is to prevent a recurrence of those cases m which clever owners seek to take advantage of supposed mistakes on the part of clerks of courses. In reference to a statement published, to the effect that the St. Alban's offender, Jarvis, had oonfsesed to Lord Poelett before the race,. that his mare, Aurora, wasn't going to try,' and that his lordship " turned Queen's evidence " when the ease was investigated by the Grand National Ilteeple-chass Committee, the &meting Garth is requested by Lord Poulett to explain—that, so far from the facts hang aemresented, Jarvis deliberately " plaMed " an his lord= ship, who was one of the stewards of the meeting, and In foi med him that his mare was "sure to win !"- At the same time, Jarvis asked Lord Poulin to back Aurora for him, which be did, as well as for himself ! Tow Wunintoe IN Faun:A—Count de Lagrange again stands at the head of the list of principal winners in France with 632,800 fr. to his credit, rather over 16,300 goys. in English money, whilst the Duke of Hamilton runs emend with 183,467 fr., and N. Stickler third with 168,408 fr. Amongst the performers The Earl is the Cattwinner, with his Grand Prix of 136100 fr., and ur-year-old Trocadero follows, with 101,6501.

Tux RTMOVIIED Birrnirmmer or Baaox M. Roams eWlT.D.—There is not, says the Sportimg Ormite, the slightest foundation for the statement that Baron Meyer liothschild intends to give up his racing establishment at Newmarket, and retire f,om the Turf. No such idea ever existed. Equally devoid of truth is the announcement, by the same writer, that " under env circumstances," J. Daley will " cease his connection with the Baron's stable at the close of the present year." Smorxut AOCTIMILYS. —The following extraordinary neekle lit is recto IA in the Veteringrilo for Ddeember : "Two three-year-old colts were the property of Mr. James Graves, of Cottenham, near Cambndge, who, thinking that a little exercise would be beneficial to their health, let them out into a small field or paddock, where they commenced playing and galloping about. In their gam bols they took opposite directions, and when in full gallop their he ads came in contact with each other, and both were kill, d almost momentarily. The peist-mortem exa mination showed that one had fractured his neck and the other his hack. The injury in the neck consisted of a fracture of the dentate, and laceration of the ligaments, &c., end that of the back of a fracture of vertebral heads of the third, fourth, and fifth ribs, with two of the bodies of the dorsal vertebrae."

Rice (184.5), but his appointment to the command of the steam reserve at Portsmouth has interfered with this arrangement.—The same authority mentions as a well-authorised rumour that the Queen has 'ignited her intention to confer upon Rear-Admiral Tar leton the honour of Knight Commandor of the Buth. Admiral Tarleton was in command of the Euryalus when the Duke of Edinburgh was on board that frigate as • midshipman. - - ROYAL NAVAL RESEKVE.—Tho following ap pointment Las been made :—To be Honorary Lieutenant — Thomas Peers Williams. MILITARY REDUCTIONS. There is, Rays the Army and Nary Gazette, sorry news for Staff College graduates to chronicle this week. The framers of the national balance-sheet are zealously endeavowing to prepare an acceptable programme of allay expenditure next year for presentation to the new House of Commons, and the axe of the financial retrencher is busily , employed in lopping off redundant branches from the military bee. The quartermaster-general's deputy at the Horse Guards is to be retained, but the next grade in the department, the assistant, is to be dispensed with. By the new arrangement, Colonel the Hon. M. H. Clifford, V.C., becomes deputy during the remaining period of his staff service, and carries with him the duties which he has hitherto been performing of the assistant quartermaster general of the forces. The junior assistant, Lieutenant- Colonel Grant, R.E., will continue to carry out, as here tofore, all engineer details of the office. Exteasive reduc tions are also to be made in the staff at Malta, where a brigadier-general, a brigade-major, and an assistant-aklju tent-general will be struck off the staff muster-roll at the ecd of the present financial year, the small balance on the other side being the appointment of a deputy-assistant adjutant-general in lieu of the posts reamed. Our con temporary fears this is only an earnest of further changes impending of a similar character. Great change. are in contemplation (says the Atherbto,,,,) in regerd to the Ordnance Select Committee, and the manufacturing departments at Woolwich. It is proposed to abolish the former altogether, and pleat the latt r uneer one head, who will be at the same time Director-General of Ordnance and Commandant of the Arsenal, where, as well as at the war department, he will have an office. Au assistant director-general, and a deputy assistant will take the place of the present assistant director of Ord nance, and secretary of the Select Committee.

A NEFORII "NIPPED IN THE BUD."—Tho United Service Gazette intimates that the sudden resignation of ministers has postponed—" perhaps indefinitely '—a most comprehensive scheme of administrative reform, which, it rays, would have not only remodelled the War-office, but would have placed the relations of that department and the Horse Guards upon an entirely new fooung."

WALES.—The Railway ICd eta remarks that not a single parliamentary notice of any new scheme has beun given for Wales, which indi• catcs list in the next session of parliament there will be • Reuter dearth of railway bills than in the last. Thus, says the journal referred to, is • favourable sign for railway investors. for there is a prraseut that for years to comp ruinous competition will be brought to bear to injure established undertakings and prevent them coining • fair profit on the vast outlay involved in their construction. The Great Western and London end North Western notices, as far as Wales is ooncorned, refer almost exclusively to the deviation or postponement of certain unimportant branches, and the mainsesissat of capita scontats.
