Mr. CAMPIIZLL showed cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Catm to set aside the bail bond in this case. The application was , made on the ground that the de fendant, Mrs. Caroline Caldicot, was a married woman. It appeared by her affidavit that she carried on the business of a confectioner in the parish of St. Helen, in the city of Worcester, and subsequently as a milliner in the town ni Nottingham. She lived separate from her husband, and plaintiff knew her to be a married woman. In answer to the above, Mr. CAMPBELL bad the affidavit of the plaintiff, in which it was sworn that the defendant carried on business as a single woman, and gave bills in her own name. After contracting a debt • with the plaintiff to the amount of 1504 in Worcester. . she went to Nottingham and carried en business as a milliner. The Learned Counsel submitted that the Court under such circumstances could not allow her to plead her coverture. • Mr. CHITTY said the plaintiff knew she was living separate from her husband. Lord TENTSRDIII--They don't say she represented herself to be a single woman. ahe states that the plain. tiff knew she had paid her husband's debts, and that is , not denied. According to the rule long established she is not liable. • Mr. Justice J..PA RICE WIN of the same opinion.—The rule for setting aside the bail bond was made absolute. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. DUBLIN.

But the danger, a danger which it required the most sedulous and unremitting vigilance to guard against, was, that the attention to temporal concerns should lead to the neglect of the reasonable service; for if it did, then" ye cannot serve two masters.''
