been presented to Mr. Watson by the defendant
Paul whim it was discounted. With respect to the
261. bill, Mrs. Whither, who had lent Mr. Walter
various sums of money, at different times, had
advanced 201. upon it, but it appeared that on the occasion
.f her so advancing the defendant Walker the money, the
bill, which was fail upon the table in Mrs. Whither's house,
had suddenly diseppeared and was not found until it was
discovered to be in the hands of a barrister of the name of
nether who had also advanced money upon it. The bitl was
then given up to Mrs. Whither, although through the in
-
t non in the defendant Paul, who had married a Miss
Newman wholived with Mrs. Whither, Walker was iaduced
to pies • fresh bill for 251.
On the am-examination of Mr. Clemente, the prosecutor,
by Mr. See-joust Wilkins, the witness stated that in 1845,
he took a house in Lowndersquam, Eaten-square,
haring had some property left hiss, and be then intended to
reuse from the occupation of a schoolmaster. At that time
be was a director of the Leeds and Brandford Hallway, the
Hull and Lincoln, the Great Leeds and London, and the
Jamaica Direct Railways. Ilia name had been put down as
director to other railways, without his consent. All the rail.
way schemes without his consent.
Mr. Ballantine for the defendant Walker contended that
it was clear that as Mr. Clements bad borrowed the money
from a friend of Mr. Walker, it was competent for
Walker to demand the payment of interest on behalf
of the party who had so lent the money, and if the
lender chose to allow Mr. Walker either to pawn the
certificates or negotiate the bills, that was a matter between
himself and Mr. Walker.
Mr. Ilezjeant Wilkins, on behalf of the defendant Paul,
made a most argumentative and powerful appeal to the
jury, and after commenting upon the (gets of the case, con-
cluded by urging that there wee no evidence to fie his client
with having been guilty of any fraud or conspitacy.
Lord Denman, is gumming up, said the question for the
jury to consider was, whether they were satisfied that the
charge of obtaining bills of exchange under false pretences
and of conspiracy had been made cut to their satiefactiec.
With regard to the defendant Paul, he thought there wrs
no evidence to fit him with either accusation, but with re-
spect to Walker, the case was different. It had been proved
that he had obtained the bills of exchange under the pretence
that the party who held the 220 scrip shares, and who hed
advanced the 1501. and 3001. to Mr. Clements, required to be
paid his interest. Thatstatement was not true, because, at
that time the 220 scrip certiii :atm were in the hada of Mr.
Tingay, a pawnSroker, who could have no claim upon Mr.
Clements for any interest, as he had net lent him money. U
the jury thought that there was any circumstance in theme
which raised doubt in their minds of Mr. Walker's guilt,
they would give him the bent fit of that doubt.
The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of
guilty against the defendant Walker, and acquitted the de-
fendant Paul.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS—YasnaDAY.

therms ce Duce.
Dell op BEVESWICIL v. BLOWNAN AND OTHERS.-
811111FF'S OFFICIALS AWNING OPEN OUTER boon.
This was an action of trospue, in which plcintiff tom-
plained of his outer ioor being broken open, his furniture
seized, and being compelled to pay • sum of money to re-
lease It. The defendants pleaded not guilty. and one of
them, Showman, pleaded a special plea, which stated the
outer door was open, and justified as acting in the execution
of • writ of fi. fa. against the duke's goods. The jury found
a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 7101., expressly including
• sum of 2501. paid by the duke to get the sheriff's officers
out of the house, and also the fact that the outer
door was not open. A rule fur a new trial
had been since orneined, on the ground that the
verdict was against the evidence, the damages excessive;
and, as regards Showman, that he, not being present at the
time of the trespass, Wei not liable ' • and, generally, that the
damages ought to be reduced by 2.501. As to the first ground,
the court were of opinion the verdict was consistent with the
evidence, and the rule nisi ought not to be made absolute.
There was directly contradictory evidenee in the case ; end
the credit of witnesses was peculiarly within the produce of
juries. Moreover, although the affidavits upon which the
rule was in put moved stated new facts, furth.r inquiry
was not likely to make the cue more apparent.
As to the damages being excessive, it would be in vain to
seek fer any standard by which so s. rims a trespass as that
complained of ought to be followed by a less amount. With
regard to reducing the damages by the sum of 2101. paid
under protest, but no doubt eventually due from the duke
upon the present state of the record, the plaintiff being en-
titled to averdict up/D not guilty, and the defendenee special
plea having been found against him, it was not open to the
defendants to insist upon a reduction. As to the liability of
Showmen in particular, his offers to delay the execution upon
receiving a sum of money, and afterwards to withdraw it
upon the same terms, and finally receiving the proceeds of
the Execution, psi•r to him by order of the duke under pro-
test, showed Ist Slowman took upon himself the execution
of the warrant, and made him liable with those who actually
assisted. Upon all these several grounds the rule fur a new
trial must the referkbe discharged.—Rule discharged.
