After Term Nisi Prim Shanty at Weetnnoster.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Speo 2l Juries.) This au the first day of the Westminster Mier 41111 sou ptius sittings. Th e bit is light, numbering only 64 was.; kcluditg 23 remthets ; 24 are marked fur special j ur ies!. The practice of having so many courts sitting at the same time without the neoemary accommodation was this morning brought toa dead luck, and additional costs thereby unnecessarily incurred by many of the suitors. Notice was moon that the l ‘ hicegi. Bench would to-day have two nisi prius courts and one Osseo court sitting, but a third court could not be found at the eleventh hour in Westminster ball, and .dr. Juati.c Slice and the common jurors bad to go over to the Sessions-hostas, bat the court not having been prepared for their reception. his lordship was unable to proceed with his lot of common jury cases. in addition to the want of a sufficient number of properly constructed courts, the greatest umonvenience exist. from the over crowded state of all the present courts (especially in block iag up the entrances), owing to the non-existence of proper regulations for that parpae. The inoonveuience is quite as greet to the members of the bar to as all others who have business to transact QUARTERKAINIC V. MORRIS. This was an action for a breach of warranty of a horse. The defendant denied the warranty, and declared that the hone w s woad. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. D. 1). Keane were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. Barnard, were counsel for the defendant The plaintiff is the well-known horse-dealer in Piccadilly, and the defendant is Colonel Morrie, residing in Cadogan place. The horse was a very showy animal, and attracted the plaintiff's attention previous to March last year. On the 31st of that month the plaintiff and his son called on the defendant and hod a conversation with him relative to the hone, and is answer to questions put to him by the plaiatiff, the defendant said the horse came from Yorkshire, sad had been in his possession about two years. lie said the hone WAS perfectly sound, and he asked 230!. for him, a sum which the plaintiff considered the horse was worth provided be was sound. The plaintiff naked to be allowed to go to the mews and examine the hone, but the defendant objected, saying that there were a great many " coping" fellows about the place, and that if the plaintiff should not buy him after examination it would spoil his sale. lie also objected to the hone being sent to the plaintiff's stable on the same ground. On the 4th of April the defendant called at the plaintiff's stables, and on his suggestion the latter, with his son, went in the afternoon to Cadogan-place to see the horse. The groom trotted him up and down once or twice, and then gently cantered him, and the plaintiff afterwards walked round - him and noticed his general figure aid appearance. He noticed a slight blemish about the size of has nail on the throat, but the defendant said the horse was perfectly well, and that there was not • sounder horse in the kingdom. Upon that warranty the plaintiff said be would take him st the price named, nod accordingly the borne was sent that afternoon to the stables, and the plaintiff sent back his cheque for 250/. The hone was taken every can of by the plaintiff till about the 25th or 26th of April, when the Hon. Mr. Coventry called on him, Rod after describing the horse he wanted, was shown the one in question, which he purchased for the sum of 350/. Mr. Coventry took the hone away, and in the course of a few days the plaintiff, to hie eatonishmeot, received an intimation from Mr. Coventry that in his judgment the horse was unsound, having some thing the matter with his wind. The hone was taken to t►e Veterinary College, and pronounced by one of the pro fanes to be a " whistler." Plaintiff on that took back the hem, cancelled the sale to Mr. Coventry, and immediatel► communicated with the defendant, requesting him to take back the hone and reform the cheque, but he declined doing so. The hone was kept by the plaintiff till July, when he seat him to Tattersall's, when he was sold for 156/. 44. 6d. set, leaving • balance of 91'. 15s. 6c1., which, with 121. 4s. lid. for keep, and 1001, lose on the sale to Mr. Coventry, the plaintiff now sought to recover. It appeared that the horse Lad been under the care of Professor Mayor for Wavelets, and was in the month of March under the care of Mr. Millisms. veterinary surgeon, suffering from in flammation. The Lord Chief Justice said it was doubtful whether the pbuntiff wee entitled to recover the 100/. A similar point was now under the consideratiou of the court—viz., whe ther a pence could recover for property which never would cc could bays been made if the person complained of bad spoken the truth, because the bargain would never have been made. Plaintiff aalid on defsodant after the examination of the horse, and showed him the certificate, when he saki he was ware the horse was sound, for Mr. Mayor had examined him within three months of the sale, in consequence of his baring picked up a stone, and had pronounced bin) sound. Plaintiff said that was no comequeece, but be should ex pert him to take Lick the horse. Colonel Morris did not previous to the purchase suggest the examination of the horse by a veterinary surgeoo. In •:;ross-exaraination, the plaintiff said he did not hear the huron " 'thistle" when be was trotted up and down Cadog.th•place. He was trotted very fast once, but cer tainly not twelve miles an hour, for be could not do it. Plaintiff called at defendant's house in his absence the day of the sale, before the latter came to his stables. Defen dant did not urge him to have the horse examined by a veterinary surgeon, as stated in one of liis letters. Plain tiff, in his reply to that letter, took no notice of that Mete meet It took bard galloping at the college to make the horse " whistle." He never heard from the defendant that the horse had been two years tinder Mr. Mayor's care, and that be had the strangles very bed in IS6L In reexamination, plaintiff said he purchased the boric entirely on the warranty. Mr. quartermaine, jun. ' deposed that he went with hie hither to see the horse ' and that the defendant warranted the horse perfectly sn ood, that be bad had him for two years, and bad never known anything the matter with him. Is cross-examination he said the defendant did not ask his father down on the 4th to examine the horse, that he was to make haste, for there were only Al minutes to do it, and his replying that his father could examine 15 hones in that time. Mr. (uartermaine was recalled, sad, in reply to questions from Mr. Macaulay, said that on the morning of the sale of the horse at Tattersall's, the detendant and. Mr. Mayor were there looking at him. Ile objected to the horse heirs saddled and ridden, because be was entered as a barnew horse. Mr. Tattersall decided it was against the rules. If the horse had been ridden he would not hare fetched hell the rnoney he (lid. Ile did not know it Colonel Morris wished the horse to be ridden. By the Lord Chief Justice—lf be had been ridden round the riot, he would hare shown to ever} °Le that he wu a " whistler." Mr. George Harker, moistest to Mr. Williams, veterinary surgeon. Pimlico, who was too ill to attend or be examined by oommiwioo, deposed that in March last the hone was suffering from congestion of the lungs, and that mustard poultices were applied to the throat Mr. Mayor, veterinary surgeon attended the horse in April, Irtbl, for • very @even affect ion of the throat, known as strangles. Ha was ill about • month. Witness again attended the horse for laiseseen " Whistling" mu • de cided unsouodneria. To • certain extent it impeded the breathing. Strangles was • common came of whistlieg. Croraersmined—He had no idea op to the last that the borne WAS a whistler. He had noopportunity of trying him. The horse, he believed, was purchased at Tattenall's by Sir James F ergus.on. M. P. Mr. soZeer. prioeiial professor at the Veterinary Col ter., examined the bone in May, and foun be was a whistler." The disease was of long standing, and ten dered the horse unsound. His opinion was that the un soundness had existed for more than tiro or three months. Disease of ►he lungs in the March previous might hare aggravated the disease, or have laid the foundation of it, if it had not existed before. Cross.examised—The " whistling" he noticed on the 12th of Iday , ould not beset:omo on from paralysis of the wee after the ith of Aped. It would have been a very exoep tional caw if it had. Mr. John Vermeil, professor at the Veterinary College, esamiaed the horse twice, and fonod him uosonad. He considered the strangles, aggravated by the sore throat, the caive of the disease. The defence was that no each warranty as alleged wan given. but the drfeodant believed at the time of the sale, as be lion new, that the horse was wood. The plaintiff sought after the hone, and the defendant was an unwilliog and LP urged the plaintiff torah in his son-in-law, Mr. Mayor, to es.ooine the bone before minimise ; hut looked of that be bought him on his own examination sod judgment. The illness of the horse before the purchase had been much ex. alliterated ; and with regard to the blemish is the seek arising from bleeding, it was pointed out to Mr. Quarter. midue, and examined by him. Colonel Morris had given directions to two livery stable-keepers to sell the horse for 2.101., but not to warrant him, although he fully believed him to be sound. It wag contended there wan no evidence that the hone wan unsound when he was sold on the 4th April. fin James Fell/anon had bought him for a brougham bone, and he had never complained of him. The plaintiff mould be materially contradicted, and the defendant coo. sidered the action a false and unworthy accusatioa. Culooel Morris, C.a. and assistant-inspector of voles. brars—llis horses were kept at a public livery stable. He eve Mr. Sewell, of Popham, 1054 for the horse in UAL lb wag riding bar yams old at tie tins. ila THE , EXPRESS, WYADDIESDAY EYENING, bought it for riding, but ha latterly need it in a brougham. About • week after he bought the horse he bad an attack of strangles, and be suffered twice from lameness. The horse was constantly node, Mr. Mayor's are. Is March the bane we takes ill, and Mr. Williams was sent for, Mr. Mayor being from home. Mr. Williams said it was only • eight coogestios of the lungs, and advised mustard poultice.. Defendant, however, had the horse bled. The bone very shortly after got well. He had several offers from dealen for the horse. He did not tell the plaintiff he purchased the horse in Yorkshire, and that he wee the soundest creature in the kingdom. Hs told him he had had the horse two years, and that he had bad the strangles. He did not say the hone was perfectly sound, and had always bees so. He objected to the plaintiff going to the stibles because he did sot wish the hone to be pre judiced if he objected to him after he got then. Be did sot mention the words " coping fellows." Defendant also contradieted the plaintiff and his son on many minor points, and said the plaintiff very minutely examined the horse. He told the plaintiff that so far es be knew the horse was sound, but that if he was not satisfied he had better take him to Mr. Mayor, or any other veterinary surgeon, and have him examined. Plaintiff uerer mid, '• Of course, colonel, you warrant the horse sound." After the sale he saw the plaintiff, who expressed himself satisfied with the horse, and said he was able to make him step considerably higher than when he purchased him ; he we. much surprised when the plaintiff asked him to take back the horse, and told him he ought to have had the horse examined before purchase, if he was not satisfied with his owu judgment. At Tatterstll's per mission was given to try the horse, but the plaintiff ob ipcted. 12 cross-examination, be said be told the plaintiff the bone ,teas bought of Sewell, and that be understood the horse cants from Yorkshire or Norfolk. Mr. Cotterell, Mx. Sewell, and Mr. Toinbee's agent saw the horse with • view t o a ousa b asa , Plaietiff did not examine the hone's wind b e d i d ' spa ask for warranty, and nothing was said about it. Mr. Mayor last saw the horse in February. By the Lord Chief Justice—lf the pleintiff had had the horse examined before seNliog the cheque and had found , him unsound, he should have taken back the horse. The case had not concluded *ben the court rose.

This was an action to recover the amount of a bill of ex , change accepted by the defendant for 20/. Mr. W. Williams appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Renal y fur the defendant. The defame set up was that the plaintiff was a merchant engaged in the American trade, and that he had entered into as arrangement with a Mr. Davidson to get goods into the Southern States of America, through the blockade. This being an arrangement which wee contrary to public policy was, of course, illegal, and it waa contended that the bill had been given in connection with this arrangement, and was itself 000sequent/y vitiated. Later in the ONO it was admitted that this defence could not be sustained, but it was still contended that the bill was at all events an accommodation bill for which no value had been received; and that the defendant was not liable upon it.

(with whom was Mr. Jerre), ow behalf of the respondent, moved to make the rule to dismiss the petition absolute. Sir J. Wilde—The case is not in the list. Mr. G. Browne—l appear on behalf of the petitioner. Sir J. Wilde—But is the co-respondent represented The Queen's Advocate—Yes, my lord, by myself. W• have not received any formal notice of this proceeding ; but if the motion goes on I will appear for Lord Palmer.i sten ; and will offer no technical objection on the ground of want of notice. Mr. Browne—la this case my friend Mr. Seymour has kindly shown me the affidavit which has been made by his client. The facts therein stated as to the filing of the pist i-1 Um) • and the order for particulars are perfectly correct. Os Saturday bud the rule was served upon Mr. Wells ; and yesterday Mr. Wells filed an affidavit, to which is appended • letter. To that letter I shall allude but very briefly. In the first paragraph of his affidavis, Mr. Well says. [The learned gentleman here reed the paragraph.] There is here no statement that the settlement has been made either with the respondent or with the co-respondent. There is indeed DO law that I know of which would prevent • petitioner from settling with the parties whom he alleges to have done him wrong. The law itself prescribes a pecuniary re medy for this evil. There is, therefore, no reason why a petitioner should not make • settlement with three who have wronged him. It is true the law is against • collu sion to carry on a snit ; hut there is no reason why • settle ment should not be come to. In this case, however, it is not so. rhere in no imputation on the noble co-respondent or ea the lady, that either of them knew of the estee ming. The Inwood paragraph of the affidavit is as follow,: [This the learned counsel also read.] It is well known that the Roman catholic church has always looked with peculiar disfavour-- The Queen'a Advocate—l have not seen any of these affidavit& I was anxious ou the part of the 00-respondent that the case should have been disposed of, but really the learned counsel seems to be going into some statement re specting Roman catholic marriages which has nothing to do with the matter before the court. Sir J. Wilde—The case not having been brought before the court at the proper time, I should certainly not have en- I • terterned the application, the less so as, having read the ! affidavits, I saw in them things which it might be important for the co-respondent to have an opportunity of answering. As, therefore, the Queen's Advocate says he has not received them, I shall at once put an end to this motion. Until the learned counsel has read them be will not be in a position to exercise a reasonable discretion as to whether he should let the matter proceed or not. The Queen's Advocate—l understood that the question was merely one of whether certain directions of the court bad been complied with. Sir J. Wilds—That is the only question which is pro perly before the court. The Queen's Advocate—Understending that to be the limited issue before the court, I was ready, and I still am ready, on the part of the co-respondent, though not formally cited here, to allow the matter to go on, in order that there might be no further procrastination in disposing of the snit. If other matters are to be gone into, of course I should require time to consider them. Mr. Browne—l have stated that there is no imputation upon the co-respondent that he is cognisant of the arrange. moot. Sir J. W ilde —This matter may be dealt with iodependently of any affidavita. If the learned counsel is prepared to go on without them, there ie no reason why he should not do so. But if these affidavits are to be brought in, sod irrele vant matters dragged before the court, the Queen's Advo cate ought to have an opportunity of reading them and seeing whether his client should make any answer? The Queen's Advocate—l hope, after that intimation from the court, the learned counsel will atones throw away these irrelevant matters, and will allow the case to proceed. Mr. Seymour—l am not aware that the affidavit of Mr. Horsley contains soy irrelevant matter ; and I hope the court will allow me to refer to it. The Judge-1 woe% allow the motion to proceed in this half .and•balf sort of way. The learned counsel must take one line or the other. If he likes be may abasidoo the affi davits ; or, if not, he must allow the Queen's Advocate time to read them. Yr. Browne—Thee, my lord, I will adopt the latter alternative. The came them stood over till Thursday next HALL V. HALL.—..II7DGXIO.T. This was a case heard a few days ago, and very fully re ported. It was a suit for diseolutioa oe the grimed of cruelty and adultery ; but it had appeared in the course of the trial that the respondent had had a keeper in the house to protect the petitioner from his violence. SirJ. Wilde had therefor* reserved the point whether he should not call for further evidence es to the state of the respondent's miud. Thia morning the learned judge decided that he would re quire the additional evidence i and directed the farther bearing of the cane to be poetpoaed for that purpose. HARMON V. HAMMON. —.II7DOMINT.

Thin was an action for the infringement of a patent for improvements in the mode of laying down submarine electric cables. Mr. Crave, Q.C., Mr. Denman Q.C., Mr. Serjekat Bal laatioe, Mr. Quaao. Mr. L. Smit h, and Mr. Merkby were coupes' for the pleintiff ; sod Mr. M. Clambers, Q.C., Mr. Cleaebv. Q.C., and Mr. Bidder for the defeeda n t. _ • The plaintiff was • manufacturer of electric sides, having works at Gateshead and • shop in the Strand, and the de. feodaut carried on the same trade at East Greenwich and Great George-street. %Westminster. The alleged ioventioe, for which • patent was taken out in 1835, consisted of an apparatus for enabling the cable to be laid down quickly without handling it in the hold of the vessel, and without the risk of its getting into kinks, or knots. The rope is coiled in an annular chamber, and the outgoing parts pass inside certain rings. The infringement complained of was com mitted by the defendant in laying down the cable between Malta and Alexandria some time in 1861. An injunction was granted by Wine-Chancellor Wood to restrain the defendant from using a similar apparatus to that of the plaintiff, but it was diriolved by the Lords Justices, and the plaintiff DOW sought to establish his right to the inven tion by the verdict of • jury. Mr. Grove, Q.C., in his opening statement, explained that in the &rut instance the defendant fitted up the vessel with an lipping= nearly identical with the plaintiffs ; but before she sailed front England • portion of it was removed, and the iofringemeut of the patent was oot actually consum mated until she arrived at Malta. The defendant contended that under these circumstances the plaintiff could not sue,hi m for the infringement of the letters patent, inasmuch as it took place beyond British dominions. The learned counsel observed that • patent for as improved compass, • new l de scription of rope,or anything else intended chiefly for nautical purposes, would be useless to the inventor if any person oould latrine it on board • British ship as soon as she got beyond our shores. He submitted that as an English ship was British territory, an user of • patent on board, in what ever part of the world she might be, without the sanction of the patentee, mounted to an iofringement. The Lord Chief Baron—Then, the infringement turns upon the nationality of the retool Mr. Grove—To some extent. The Lori Chid is a point which I oertainly will not decide here. With regard to what you say as to the user of your patent on board a British ship, it may on the other side be urged that your claim would have a ten dency to give you a monopoly all over the world. For many purposes a British ship is considered to be part of British sod, but my impression is that this doctrine is part of international, and not of municipality. Mr. M. Chambers said be should wound that the patent in this case, which was granted for Great Britain, Ireland, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man, did DOS intend to Malta, Al•landria, or Australia, so as to make anything done on board the ship them • violation of such patent. He said it WAS the custom amongst inventors to take out Mtents not only for the Br i ti s h island s , b u t a l so f or h er ajesty's dominion abroad, and for different foreign countries. The Load Chief Baton—Your proposition is, that if amen made and sold ow board • British ship at Melbourne one of Brahma's bake which is p•te•ted here, he would not infringe the patent! Mr. Chamben—Yes„ bemuse it is made and sold out of the limits to which the Wait extends. Mr. Grove—l contend that the making of the lock would, under those circumstances, be so infriogement, as it was done on board • British ship. There may be • doubt whether the selling would be an infringement. The Lon! Chief Baron—The Australian *Amigo have legislatures of their own, and may also have their own patent laws. Mr. Grove—That may be so, but Malta has no patent laws of its own, and it forms Fold of the British territory. In this case the infringement we complain of, though commenced in this country, was really consummated on the high seasbeteeen Malta and Alexandria. The learned counsel added that the plaintiff instituted a suit is Chancery in 18.57 against the defeadaat fur so injunction. and that the whole matter was then referred to Mr. Thos. Webster. the counsel for arbitration. That learned gentleman made as award substantiating the plaintiff's claim, hut be raised cer tain points of law for the opinion of the Court of Common lieu. These points were also decided by that court in favour of the phoutiff. The depositions of Mr. Laws, who was oe board the Malacca, one of the vessels employed in laying the cable, and who was now in India, as to the mode of paying out the cable, were put is and reed. Mr. Thomas Webster was then examined with respect to what took place before him as arbitrator. . . The Lord Chief Bari; said be should hold with regard to those acts complainsd of by the plaintiff so an infnegameut of the patent which were committed oat of British territory, that the fact of their being none on board as English ship was of no consequence. The evidence would be takes sub ject to that ruling, upon which he would give th e pl a i n tiff liberty to move the court above. Mr. Bramwell, the civil engineer of Crest George-street, was seat called and eziunioed at considerable length in sup. port of the *hairs case. The Wel bed ad oesoloded When the wart row CLERKENWKLL Edward Pteletlot young man, a carman, lately in the em ploy of Memos. Ramada% angst refiners, of Brook -street, Holborn, was charged, on the complaint of Mr. W. Love , with having crustily ill-treated, abused, tortured, and killed a horse on the 18th ult. Mr. W. Love appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Hans moed, solicitor, of Faraday, for the defence. The bores in question was the property of Mr. Edward Malmo, a oorn chandler and ontrector. of Leather-Loa, who contacted to supply Mears Kameda' with horses. It was the defendant's duty to drive the horse in queethie, and rto take it home to Mr. Millais stables after the day's work was dose. On the day in question the defendant took the horse to the stable at about half-past two in the day, and having taken it out of hansom and tied it up in the stable, he took up a dung fork, which was standing in the stable, and beat the animal in a violent manner with the handle of the fork about the lower part of in near hied leg, and afterwards about its bead, face, and other yarn of its body, tansies wounds sad bruises. The effect of the beating on its legs was such as to cause them to swell from the fetlock up to the thigh, and the animal ins unable to put it. feet to the ground. After the defendant had beaten the horse in the way described, he turned the pitchfork and beat the un fortunate animal with the iron prongs, and stabbed the hone with the prongs about its binder parts near the tail, tansies the blood to flow. This heating was kept up fully two minutes, sod such was the violence of the blows that the iron prongs were bent out of shape, and the defendant was heard to my, with a disgusting oath, that he would " break or cut its heart out." The horse was taken ill from the violence it had base subjected to, and mortifies tioe hawk* rot in in the leg which had been injured by the blows, the hone died five days afteewards. In crossaremination by Mr. Hammond, it was elicited from the witnesses that the defendant had always treated the hone with kindness prior to the day in question, and that the horse was known to be • "kicker." The &indent was much excited at the time and was under the 'admen of drink, and the horse kicked the defendant that day in the stables, but not until after he had ill-treated and beaten it with a dime fork. Mr. Mansfield said, in remarking upon the evidence that had been given, that it appeared the defendant had born a good character for humanity op to the time be committed this offence, and that the hone was given to the via of kicking, which rendered it at time' difficult to manage sad likely to ru ffl e a man's temper. The fall penalty would fall heavily upon a poor man, and he would doubting' be unable to pay it. He (the magistrate) should therefore indict a penalty of 31., or, in default, one month's imyriaceommat with lard labour. FF O BRTIARY 3, 1864. The fine was immediately paid, and the defendant left the court with hia friends. SOUTHWARK. - - - James Cook, a man in the employ of the contractors of the New Itlaektriars-bridge. wu charged before Mr. Wool rych with navigating • barge on the river Thames, not being • licensed waterman. Robert Lewis, • free Waterm►n and lighterman, said that on Tuesday last, at high water, he wu on the river Thames, near Blackfriars-bridge, when he saw the prisoner in • barge navigating • quaetity of timber through the arches. He told him he was infringing the law, as be wu not a licensed wateassan. The priacieer only laughed at him and abused him. -- Mr. Tremolo's, an inspector of the Waterman's Company, maid be bad examined the register, and ascertained that the defendant was not a licensed waterman. Mr. Woolrych said he might be a fete waters= for all that. Mr. Treaoble replied th►t be was not.

The state of continental affairs appears to hare seared buyers almost out of the walker., and but few otters are making for export, though it is thought that had affairs assumed a more pacific 11111,••• • considerable business might have been done to-day. In home wade yarns sellers are unwilling to name any decline, but state their reed, nese to listen to otters. In t h e cloth market sellers seem hardly to have toads up their minds what course to take. There are some who are offering goods at lower prices, and at lower prices only could business be effected—but such cases are few. Many mail. Lauren sad holders of cloth are still very firm. Geoerelly speaking buyers are keeping out of the market till they shall be in • better position to form an opinion as to how things are likely to go on the continent. Very few manufacturers are disposed to accept soy decided reduction, and the con sequence is that the business done to-day has been of • very limited character. Compared with Dec. Ist Messrs.
