COUNTY COUR

RUNNING DOWN CAS.—Price v. Philips,—At
the County Court, on Thursday, before Sir
Rupert Kettle, judge. This was an action
brought by tbe plaintiff, who is a butcher
residing at Gusty Hill, Blackheath, against.
the defendant, who is a surge n, practising
at Halesowcn, to mover she io,m of .215 for
damages done to plai tiff's vehicle, for persmal
injuries and for damage to his clothes.—Mr.
Homfray (of the firm of Messrs. Hourtray and
Holber-tun, 13iierley Hill) was for he plaintiff and
Mr. Goo,linan (Halcsowen) for the defendaut.—On
the 9th of January last, about six o clock in the
evening, plaintiff and defendant were driving vehicles
in Hatesowen. Defendant it was alleged was
drivmg in the centre of the roadway, and plaintiff
who was going in the opposite direction, not
having enough space, came into colliskm with de-
fendant's vehicle. The ehock was so bad that it
shattered the plaintiff's trap to pieces, reducing its
value from £5 to 15s. Plaintiff also received in-
juries, which prevented him from fo'lowing his
employment for four days.—His Honour gave a
verdict for the plaintiff for .22 for loss of time and
personal injury, and for the damages £5, and
costs.

; Perry v. llingley.—This was an 'action brou lit
by William Perry, hersenail maker; of the Lye,
to recover the sum of al for damages, from
Joseph- Hingloy, publican, of the Beefeaters, Lye.—
Mr. Waldron was for plaintiff and Mr. H. Collis
' for the defendant. —The plaintiff's case was that
!on the Ist of July last, tie had been playing a
cornet in a kind at HaOey. In the evening he
• with other members of the band, went to Haley
Railway Station with a view ot riding home by
train. When ti:ey got there they saw two
brakes there. Some arrangemenls, the plaintiff
alleged, were entered into beteeen a man named
Bashfotth, who belonged to the band, and the de-
fendant, that he would bring them back to the Lye
at train fares. Ile with two others, got into a
brake driven by defendant's son's, and two got into
a brake driven by the defendant. When they got
near to the-Labour-in-Vein, Oldswinford, in con-
sequence of the defendant'&. son fast driving, the
brake was upset ant; plaintiff was thrown out.
Plaintiff a shoulder was dislocated and he Was
unable to follow his eniploymont for six weeks ant
had bad to pay .E 2 to the doctor. Previous to the
accident he was earning LI per week.—The do-
ience was that there wag no agreement ma e with
the defendant but with hii son, and the defendant
was the servant of his son on that day.—His
Honour gave a verdict for plaintiff for ..210 and
costs.

A recent writer in our local papers has wisely
observed that "one of the follies of the age is to
buy dear Wines and Spirits." Another folly is to
suppose that buying from those who make the
largest return of duty is buying them in the
cheapest market. The Merchant who pays duty
upon thensands of gallons, pays in exact propor-
tion to the retailer clearing a single cask. A great
profit must be gained to cover enormous erpoises
of large business premises, cost of advertising, and
an allowance of profit to the Agent, greater in
many iAstances than taken by the, respec t
able Merchant. • To buy cheap is to buy where but
one profit is made. and we cannot better illudrate
our argument than by pointing out the way in
which our townsmen, Messrs J. ituthnd and doe, of
63, High-st, have opened up the trade. We have
no hesitation ia enyitig that 25 per Cent. is
.now
eaved by their bringing the producer and the con-
sumer together, over the picas paid a few years
ago, and a trial will fully bear out our assertions
