Mr. R. Burnett appeared for plaintiffs. and Mr. Hann'
for defendant—ln this case the Judge sail he bad taken
very full notes. It was • singular case the action was
brought to remover • sum of money 'rising out of some
shares in the Abbotsbury Railway Company, said to have
been taken by We Busby.—The evidence as to this rested
entirely upon the statement of Mr. Manfield, who was
actively engaged le getting subecriptions for shares, and
had • great many things to attend to at that time.
In seem instances Mr. Mangold failed with regard to
fact,. He said that Kr. Busby paid £4. but that was
paid by defendant's partner. He said the document was
taken upstairs and signed be the wife; but It was signed
by the wife downstairs. Of course, the only way the
husband could be Basel by hi, wife's signature was either
by his having given his original authority, of by ratifies.

Mr. Honebon, who said there was a coveneet in the
partnership deed whisk prevented either of them taking
shares—Hividonour went through the evidence, remark-
ing Mr. Winfield had received a post-card and burnt it,
and the Judge was sorry that had taken place: but it
was stated it was to the effect that he mediated the
shares. As to the application, defendant said "It was
not my signature, and I never gave any authority for it,"
Mt The evidence of the wife, taken by the learned
Reaistrar, was that Mr. Manfleld called several times,
and premed her husband to take shares; but he always
refused and went to bed. She did not remember taking
the paper upstairs, and she signed it without her hue.

MORE ABOUT BENJAMIN EMU YEN, JUN.
At the County Court on Thursday, before Mr. Serieent
Tindal Atkinsoc, the action was brought of Mr. Csristo-
Wier Gibbs against Kr. Robert Pearce,to recover £4:14.. 51.
on a bill of exchange, drawn by Mr. Gibta and accepted
by Boniarnin Striven, jun., as Striven and C
Mr. Ream appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. R. N. Howard
for the defendant.
Mr. Howard said this was • case where his client was
linked up with a man who bad been committing forgeries,
and had bolted, and the object was to make Mr. Pearce
liable as partner.
His Honour reading this person's name II " Besjamin
&rawer, Jun.." caused • laugh.
Kr. C. Gibbs had carried on the timber trade for some
years. and knew Kr. B. Strive". jun., who had bolted, and
all kin+ s of serious charges were made. The bill given
plaintiff was for goods supplied for the erection of a coal
shed. Had delivered wood for one shed, drew upon Mr.
&edema &riven ; the bill wee accepted by him, and duly
*at Then he gave orders to supply the wood for almond
shed; supplied it, rendered the bill, and received the bill
or exchange now produced. Up to that time he had not
seen Kr. Pearce in the wetter. Thera was • business
called "Striven and Pearce" just opposite his place; bat
he did not speak to Kr. Pearce about it till January, when
Striven was supposed to have bolted, for at that time the
bill bad not arrived at maturity. When it did he applied
to Me. Nano, who said be had nothing to do with It; but
plaintiff claimed on the ground that Saiven and Pearce
were partners. In 1579 he did not know whether Mr.
Pewee wee a partner or not ; was first aware of it about
July, 1880. Striven ordered a &scowl lot of wood, and said
be was in partnership with Mr. Pearce. Had no recollec-
tion of seeing Mr. Pearce there during tho year; Striven
was taking an active part. About Cluistnise Mr. &riven
aheconded.
Mr. Banns : Was there any collusion or fraud about
getting this bill of exchange
The Judo : No, that bi trying to "paint the lily, and
add • perfume io the violet."
By Mr. Hanna : They also carried on business at &doe,
, and both parties resided there.
Mr. Howard first objected the name of the firm was
"Striven and Pearce." whereas this bill was accepted not
in that name, but of " &riven and C 0.," cud this ought to
have raised suspicion. Mr. B. Scriven carried on business
as a merchant at Portland In more ways than one it wee
well known be was in the atone trade, bad hauling to do

business with him on lily 14, 1889, but had nothing to

opened a banking account.
The Judge did not think any transaction, which did not
come to the plaintiff's knowledge, could be a circurustauce
against
Witness was, however. allowed to continue that he
never authorised Mr. B. Sniven to sign any bill without
hie signature; it was a standing order at the bank to the
contrary. He traded under the name of "Scriven and

to do with either of the coal wharves referred to except
paying rent for them to Scriven. Paid hire Er. par ton for
