amertilogly went to town, and called at the offices of the
attorney, when he saw him in company with a person who
appeared to be his clerk. All the parties then went to •
hotel la Iroamonger.lane, where they saw the directors of
the " Mockylomley—he believed that was the name—
" Biter Gold Quarts Company," which river he supposed
was in Australia it it existed at all, end to that company the
attorney appeared to be the solicitor. A conversation took
place which ended in Sir George Beresford, who was repre-
sented to be the chairman of the board, saying that if 2001.
were paid down he would get the young man a situation
wider government, and accordingly a memorandum was
prepared by the attorney and signed by Sir George Beres-
ford, to the effect that the situation should be obtained for
the 2001. in six weeks or the money would be returned.

random was locked up in the attorney's chest. Nothing

Lord Campbell—There is this difficulty on your state-
mar. Yon can hardly show that this attorney, although i
he is on the rolls, was in this instance employed as en at-
torney ; and then you call on him to plead guilty to an in-
dictable
offence, for, on the facts stated, this was clearly a
otospiracy, for which all the parties might be indicted and
severely punished, if found guilty. If he wets employed
lops attorney, although the disposal of the money might
render him liable to an indictment, that would not be
en answer to a summary application; but he was GM•
ployed as as attorney. If the facts alleged be true, he was
guilty of obtaining money on false, protium. We have

BAILRICX P. DUDA AND ANOTHIR —COMMISSION TO
ZIAHINI WITNESS'S IN NOMA.

The defendants in this case were Russian subjects, and
the action was brought to recover about 2,6001. upon the
ground that they tai neglected to load a venal called the
Lavinia, which they had chartered to proceed to Odessa, and
tbisra take in • cargo of tallow, corn, or seeds. In the char-
terparty there was a provision to the effect that if hostilities
should break out so as to p the loading of the vessel,
the ehartsrparty was to be null and void, and
the defendants, among other things, pleaded that they had
been hiadered from loading the vessel by the Queen's ene-
mies, and that • state of war existed before the time for such
loading had expired. In reference to this plea it was
thought expedient to examine the defendants and some
other persons at Odessa, and an application was made to the
Chief Justice at chambers, on the 13th of February last, for
• commission for that purpose. His lordship, however,
declined accede to the application, and referred the
matter to the court $ and • eat* war onarequently obtained
list term, calling upon the plaintiff to show cause wby
such a commission should not i.isue. To-day cause was shown
against the rule being made absolute.
Mr. Lush, in showing cause, stated that the plaintiff's
we was, that the vessel arrived at Odessa early in last
year, and remained in quarantine until the 16th February.
On the 16th March she was quits ready to take In her cargo,
but it was not put on board, though she remained there
until the 20th April. On that same day the Allied fleets
appeared in the roads, and on the 22nd the bumbardment
took place. He submitted that the court would not, even
in an ordinary cue, grant this commission, considering that
the action had been brought so long ago as June last ; and
In the present instance there would be great difficulty in
the way of executing the commission.
Mr. will (who appeared to support the rule) said that
they had made inquiries, and had ascertained that commer-
cial transAtions were not interrupted.
The Chief Justice—lt was treason to hold communication

with the Omen's enemies.
Mr. Bovill—There were • great many English subjects
there.
Mr. Justice Creuwell—Why should not the defendants
come to this country, and give their evidence ?
Mr. Lush submitted that, at all events, they might go to
Idaho, or to some neutral place, to be esamiaed ; and lithe
defendants could not put themselves in • position to give
their evidence, the plaintiff ought not to suffer for that.
Mr. Bovill said he had • letter from an eminent Greek
merchant, in which it was stated that he believed that all
persons could correspond with anybody there without inter-
ruption. As to the obeervatien that they were too late, he
would state that issue had not yet been joined in the action.
He would suggest that the court might give him a commis-
sion directed to British subjects at Odessa, fee there would
be no difficulty in sending a commission to British sub-
jects, and no difficulty in their executing it.
Tim Chief Justice—What would the commission direct
British subjects to do?
Mr. Bovill—To examine witnesses. . . _
