All the blood in the body constantly passes through the

THE FRAUDS BY BENJAMIN HIGGS.

In the Court of Exchequer, on Tuesday, an action
was brought by the trade assignees of Benjamin Triggs,
a clerk of the Great Central Gas Company, whom
enormous defalc etions startled the public in March last
year, against that company and the Guarantee Society,
and Mr. Poole, of the firm of Poole and Emmens, auc-
tioneers, for having Be zed and sold the furniture, wines,
and other goods of Riggs, in his residence known as
Tide End House, Teddington. The defendants paid
into court £2,050, the actual net proceeds of the sales,
and pleaded several pleas, denying their liability in re-
gard to the rest of the plaintiffs' claim. Mr. Seymour,
Q.C., in opening the case, said that Higgs had given
the Central Gas Company a policy of the Guarantee
Society for £250, and when he decamped the society,
under a clause of the policy, employed Poole to orate
a seizure to the amount for which they were liable; but
ultimately, tinder an indemnity given by the direc!ors of
the Central Gas Company, he seized the whole property
in the house, which was magnificently furnished. The
furniture was removed to the Clarence Rooms at Ted-
dington, and sold, as the plaintiffs crutende I, at a
great mcrifice, and the choice and ex pensive wines were
also dealt with ire a manner which prevented anything
like their value being realised.

Mr. Baron Martin -said that as the question was only
one of damages, viz., whether venous articles had
maimed a proper sum t W 11.4 utterly impossible that
the eaqe could be tried by the jury, and he suggested
a reference.

Mr. Seymour acreed that was the hest course to
adopt. Sir John Karslake, Q.C., said the solicitor for
the defendants had no authority to make any arrange-
mi_nts.

Ultimately, the learned Baron positively refused to
try the matter of account id this deecription, and de-
cided to issue a summons, in order that he might, under
the powers given to him by Act of Parliament, older it
to be referred.
