D O. ÜBSOORT.-Tll3 DUBLIN ELZCTION.

In this case Mr. E. James applied on behalf of the defen-
dant for • rule to show cause why a rule for a new trial
should not be granted. It appeared that the action was to
recover 1031. 7s. far work and labour done, and had been
tried by Lord Campbell in London, at the sittings after last
term, when the verdict was for the plaintiff for the whole
amount. The present application was for a new trial, or
for a reduction of the damages to 111. The first ground of
the motion was that the verdict was against the evi-
dence; and secondly, that improper evidence had been
received by the learned judge. Plaintiff was a par-
liamentary agent, rending in Spring-gardens, and the
action was brought on promises. The defendant pleaded
the general issue and payment. Mr. ()regent was the un-
successful candidate for the representation of Dublin. Mr.
Reynolds was a successful candidate at the same election,
and a petition was got up against him. It was for services
es parliamentary agent in reference to this petition that the
plaintiff made his claim. In his particulars of demand he
stated that the 921. 7p. was for work and labour, and Ili. for
heading the lists of electors, bat on the trial • totally dif-
ferent cue was opened. It was then stated that the 921. 7s.
was for kiwi paid to Mr. Serjeant Murphy, who had sup-
ported the petition before the committee. It was also
stated that Mr. Gregory had made himself personally re-
sponsible for Mr. Serjeant Murphy's fees. Mr. Gregory
said that after the election a subscription was raised to
coppers Mr. Reynolds, and to which Mr. Gregory himself
had anbeerib_ed 101. Mr. Jackson, an attorney of Dublin,
was sent to Lo to eendsct the petition, and Mr. Baker
undertook to conduct tblejoarliamentary business for the
sum of 3001., which was him out of the fund. It was
first intended to retain r. &taut Wrangbam, but that
gentleman did not appear, and Mr. Serjeant Murphy was
subsequently instructed, and attended up to • certain day,
when his fees were paid and his services ceased. It was
now sought to saddle Mr. Gregory with Mr. Serjeant
Murphy's expenses, although it was admitted that
Mr. Serjeant Wrangham would have been paid out
of the fund. It was now contended by the learned
counsel that there was no evidence to show that Mr. Gre-
gory was responsible for the expenses in question. On
the second ground of objection, he submitted that a con-
versation between Baker and Jackson had been admitted
in evidence by the learned Judge, in which Baker said
that Jackson had, by defendant's desire, directed him to
take the brief to Mr. Serjeant Murphy, and he contended
that there was no proof that Jackson was Mr. Gregory's
agent.
Lord Campbell having read over his notes of the trial,
The Court decided that the question was purely one for
a jury, and had been properly left to them. They, there-
fore, refused the rule.
Rule refused accordingly.

Tms QUINN O. MIILLI6II.—INDICTIMINT FOR CON-

&PIRACY.

In this ease Mr. Mu!diastase applied for a rule to show
cause why the particulars of the charge upon which the
prosecutor relied should set be furnished by him to defen-
dant. It appeared that the charge was an indictment for
a conspiracy, and was contained in four counts. The first
count charged defendant with combining to chest and de-
fraud the prosecutor of his lands and tenements, and then
stated two overt acts, and also that he was induced to sign
• certain deed which was set out at length. The second count
charged the same offence in the same words, bat did not set
out the deed. The third count was similar, charging com-
bination to cheat and defraud prosecutor of certain other
lands, tenements, and hereditaments; and the fourth count
charged defendant with cheating and defrauding prosecu-
tor, without specifying in what manner.
Mr. Justice Erle thought the present application was the
fourth edition of this application. The result, too, be pre-
sumed would be the same.

Application granted.
