the plaintiff Is Oh ease; had not beau appoinad in =NOR
agent to the delisbat. It was further submitted to the
court that the plidadff had not seat to his wont within
Gee month, stinting to the statute. At the trial, with •
view to befog the ease within the statute, it wee show* that
the plaintiff had sent in his mount within a month to Mr
Howard Maynard, who had been appointed in writing agent
to the defendant ; but it was submitted by Mr. Wood for
the definable% that Mr. Maynard was not the defendant's
*gent for the purpose of receiving accounts, and that wad-
ing the account to his was not sufficient. As to the qua.-
don upon the evidence, the plaint!, s cue was, that he was .
to be paid by the dehadant a retaining he of 25 guineas,
and b guineas • day for his services; and the defames '
was that the defendant had not employed the '
plaintiff at all. Under thus circumstances it was '
eastendal that the jury should have given a verdict '
for the whole amount or for nothing at all, whilst
what they had done was to disallow the retaining fee alto-
gather, and allow only three guineas • day for service*.
This tiding, it was contended, woo manifestly wrong, and,
therefore, Oat there should be a new trial. The rale
granted upon these points to-day came on for argument. I
Mr. Edwin James. Q.C., and Mr. Cools appeared to
show cease, and Mr. Wood to support ebonite.
It was submitted to the eon that the plaintiff was not
such o agent ea that aostemplated by the act, and. there- I
fore, neOed not to be appointed in writing. Bases of the
payments made by the plaintiff for the defendant, and '
charged for in the mount were railway fares, cab and boat '
hire, and the defendant's own private hotel bill, and it was
argued that an agent to pay such things was not as agent
for " election purposes" within the meaning of the act of
parliament. Upon the point of 'videos also it wee sub.
witted that what was sworn before the jury clearly jutiffed
their verdict. . _ .

.Mr. Justice Williams said he was not dissatisfied with the
verdict.
The Court took time to consider the questions of law.
