WINNE v. TOO ONIAT warms 'AMWAY COICPANt.
This adios was tried at Chester beim* Mr. Justice
Biaokbartil whoa a verdict was returned for the plaintiff,

damages 51.
Mr. Grove, Q. 0., moved, pennant to leave marred, for
• rule to show cacao why the verdict should not be
for the defendants. Tits action was brought to 14100•0entered1
damages for brjury to a sloth which the plaintiff had en-
trusted to Messrs. ?Witold, the carriers, to be conveyed
from Worcester to Chester. Th took it to the station of
the GreatWeetwn Railway at Worcester, sad directed
to be mat by that Use to the junetioe with the London and
North Western Railway at Stafford, and then forwarded on
to Cheater by the latter lige. The Great Western I
Company had an Independent railway from Women-
ter to Chester, which wog the shortest route, but
Mesas. Piekfoni wished the elock to by the
North Western, for which they were age.ts. The
clock oast 71., and wee said that 51. had been spent in it
I repairing it. The learned judge summed up in favour of
the defendant* bat the jury caul they wished to sa • matt
agehost the Great Wantons Company, and they retuned aver
diet ecoordingly. The learned counsel contended that the
London and North Welters Rainy Company, or Meagre.
Piskford, their sgente, were liable, and =La the only ground
on which the Unread judge left the ease to the jury was, he
sapoosied, a decision in a well known case In which it was
held that whore a railway company undaoook to emavey goods
to a distant point, and in nothing their destinstioe they
pasted over the Roes of two or three other companies, prima
facie the first company wag liable for any mint, they sus-
tained. In the present tontines the plaintiff delivered the
clock to Mourn Pickford without any directions as to how
It should be sent, and the injury might have been dose be-
yond the line of the Great Wasters Company.
The court granted a rule.
DOSTOCIL r. JARDINI AND ANOMIE.
This action was tried at Liverpool, before Mr. Justice
Mellor, wham a verdict was entered far the plaintiff.
Mr. nevoid Jamas, Q.C., now moved, by leave of the
learned judge, to enter a verdict for the defendant, or in
the alternative a oonsuit. The action wag brought to
recover 801/1., and axes out of one of those cotton specula-
Sous which have been common in Liverpool during the last
twoyaars. The plaintiff, a wealthy merchant and cotton
'peculator at Liverpool, employed the defendants, cotton
broker!, of the MUM plane, to buy a quantity of Swot toot-
h= which was on its way to this country. They apprised
him that in accordance with his instructions they had par
chased 50 bales at a certain price. When the vessel reached
Liverpool it was found that a portion of the cargo was of in-
ferior character, and in arooldsnos with an alleged custom
as Liverpool, it was referred to two broken to decide what
deduction should be made in the ocossignment due to each
of the purchasers of the cargo. They decided that
the allotment cooling to Mr. Rostock should be reduced from
50 to 35 Wes. In the meantime, however, the pries of
cotton had fallen, and the plaintiff, finding that he was to
missive less than 50 bales, availed himself of that circum-
stance to repudiate his .n, notwithstanding the de-
fendsots had offered to make up the proper number, and he
sought to recover SOW., which he lied paid to them ea
account of the cotton. The principal question was whether
the alleged custom at Liverpool was of os reasonable
nature se to over-ride the special instructions of
chaser to the broker.
' Rule nisi granted.

SECOND COURT.
Sittings at Nisi Prinz—(Before Mr. Baron Chemin and
a Common Jury.)
ROBHIEBB Or TUB COURT.
This was the first day of the sittings in term. The list,
like that of the Queen's Bosch, is unusually large, contain-
ing the entries of 80 causse, two of which were remaneks, 7
were special juries, and 7 were undefended.
JIMITRITS T. LLOYD AND ANOTHER.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the regis-
tered akar of the Royal Bank of Liverpool, to recover the
sum cd 4,2281. 6s. 3d. upon two bills of exchange drawn by
Collard sad Co. and accepted by the defendants. The de-
fendant Lloyd allowed judgment to go by default, and the
other defendant, Joule, denied that be accepted the bulls.
Mr. Mi!ward, Q.C.. and Mr. Potter were counsel for the
plaintiff ; M. Temple and Mr. Charles Rmatill for the de-
fendant
It appeared from the evidence et the plaintiff that the
defeo&ute and Collard and Co. bad had transactions to-
gether in the ruche.* of cargoes of timber, and in respect
of them the former had given the bills in question to Col-
lard and Co., by whom they were indorsed to the plaintiffs.
The real question, however, turned upon a deed of partner-
ship, viz. whether the partnership betweeu Jame and
Lloyd had been dissolved in 1862, althoagh it wee not
gasetted tin September, 1864.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the
amount claimed.
