or • Win'.

In this case the defen:1;;;;;;ITe had been admitted to
give evidence, and the verdict having been given fur the
defendant, a rule nisi for a new trial was obtained, on the
ground that the evidence of the wife of oue of the parties in
the suit was nut legally wlmissible.
Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. We!shy having shown cause
against the rule, which was supported by Mr. Ruddlesions
and Mr. Hall,
Lord Campbell said he was sorry to be obliged to come
to the conclusion, upon the 'listing statutes, that the rule
must be made absolute. It would, no doubt, be a great
Improvement in the law to admit the evidence of a wife in
caws affecting the interests of her husband ; hut the late
Lord Chancellor (Lord Truro) had decided that, in the pre-
sent state of the law, it wuuld not be legal to do so. 'rho
learned judges of the Eachequer were of the same opinion,
and be felt himself obliged to come to the same cenclusion.
Mr. Justice Wightman and Mr. Justice Crompton con-
starred.
Mr. Justice Erie was of a different opinion, and read a
long judgment, citing various cases in support of his view,
that the evidence of a wife was admissible.
Rule absolute.

LLOYD r. OLIVER.—A Naw FORK FOR ♦ BILL OF

ExcaANoa.

This was an action upon a document described in the de•
claration as a bill of exchange, but which was in these
terms :
" London, July 17, I&sl.—Two months after date I pro.
mist to pay to F. it. Lloyd or order 991.165. for value re
teived."
The document was then directed to " Edward Oliver Sir.
mingham,"and was accepted by him, " payable at Spooner,
Attwood, and Co.'s Bank, Londe's."
Mr. Petendorff, on the part of the defendant, objected
that, as this document was in the form of a promissory note,
but wee accepted as a hill of exchange, it required a stamp
in each of those characters, whereas it only bore one stump.
Mr. Justice Erie laid no instrument required a stamp
until it was legally issued. The document in question was
given to the plaintiff in its present form, and therefore the
bill stamp upon it was sufficient.
The acceptance in question was given on account of a
previous bill and interest, and this first bill the defendant
had acknowledged in writing that he was liable to pay.
This,;it woe submitted, was evidence spinet him upon the
" account stated." . . . .

His Lordship said it wu very desirable that instruments
should, if possible, be held to be such ea the makers in-
tended the parties taking them should understand them to
be. Ile should, therefore, hold this document to be a bill
of =change ; but he was of opinion that there was no evi-
dence upon the account stated.
The jury found for the plaintiff on the first count for the
amount of the bill and interest.
