were to be used for the mammas of the misty spurt suit.
At Machyolleth the portmanteau was miming, and after
spending five days in eserohlog, he found it at Kudos-
rows. Tbe ease in the county court was postponed, and
on the mooed occasion the plaintiff repeated his journey,
end singularly enough the portmanteau was spin mining,
though it arrived in the course of the afternoon. The pre-
mat action was to recover damages upon the footing that
the two journeys from Kent to Wales had been rendered
useless, end that the plaintiff had lost time endue
expenses in looking after the missing property.

Dor which the company would he liable without its

DUNKERLZY AND AIIIOIIINS T. JOHNBON AND ism's=
Mr. Brett, Q.C. moved in this wee. which wag kW at
the Middlesex sittings after last term before Mr. Baron
Bramwell, and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiffs, for a
rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial, on
the ground of misdirection by the learned judge. and the im-
proper reception of evidence. The case arose out of an at-
tempt to force the blockade of the Oonferimate ports. and
Involved a claim of 7,000/. The plaiatiffs, Messrs. Don-
tele! and Steinman' were colleetore of goods for shipment,
at Liverpool, and the defendants were the owners of a ship
called the treorgiana, trading from that part. The plaintiffs,
cane was, that the defendants contracted with them to convey
a quantity of goods on board the Georgians, from Liverpool
to Nassau. When they arrived at Nassau the goods were
to be broken up into five parte, and forwardedeither to Wil-
mington or Charleston by tin separate easels, one
of them to be the Georgians. This arrangement
was roads in order to lessen the risk of the
goods being seised by the Federal'; but insteed
al being canted out, the goods were not traashipped
from the Georgians, and the result was that they sever
reached the consignees, the ship, in attempting to ran into
Wilmington, being driven on shore to avoid the Federal
cruisers and becoming a total wreck.
The court granted a rule upon one of the grounds ad-
vanced by the learned counsel, viz., that there was no
evidence b establish the contract alleged in the declaration.
Rule nisi.

ACTOR° r. LORD euurriecrownei.
This action was tried at the last amine at Maidstoi
before the Lord Chief Baron, when • verdict was watered
for the defendant upon the first plea.
Mr. Denman, Q.C., said that pursuant to leave ressined
by the learned judge he had to move for a rule nulling upon
the defendant, Lord liontingtower, to show cause why the
verdict should not he set aside and • verdict "stored for
the plaintiff for 15/. The action was brought by Elizabeth
Aeford whist Lord Huotiogtower upon a deed made in
1351, which stated that there had been cohabitatioo between
them, and that the defendant undertook to pay 151. quer.
terly, or 60/. per annum, to the plaintiff, u long as three
children who were named survived. The deed described the
plaintiff as "Elisabeth Acford, spinster." The first plea,
that on which the verdict was mitered. was "that the
plaintiff, before lied at the commencement of the suit, was
and is the wife of the defeedant."
The Lord Chief Baron—That was pleaded by the dates.
dolt, in order that it might be disproved.
Mr. Daimon said it was so stated by Mr. Chambers in his
opening toe the defence.
The Lord Chief Baron—You are clearly entitled to a
rule.
Mr. Denman—l bad leave to ester • verdict on these two
grounds—first, the marriage alleged was stated to have
taken place in Scotland, by the plaintiff and defendant lie-
, log together in that country as man and wife ; arid the point
raised under that head was that no evidence was given
the Scotch law, that is to say that it was not established
by the evidence of experts. I contended, in the second
plus, that the evidence was not sufficient to establish the
The Lord Chief Baron—You can take a rola to show
mire.
Mr. M. Chamber', Q.C.—I have been instructed by Lord
Runtiegtower and his friends not to trouble the court to
grant a rule nisi, but to consent that the rule should be
mad* absolute in the first instance.
The Lord Chief Bares—Do you mean to withdraw the
plea altogether!
Mr. Chambers—We mean to acquiesce in • rule to set
aside the verdict and niter a verdict for the plaintiff. I am
anxious, with the permission of the court, to state that my
leaned friend Mr. Charles Pollock sod myself have had a
cosaultation with Lord Hantingtower and hie friends, and
we ascertained that they were exceedingly denim= that
we should have authority to do what we considered local
and proper. We have ievesticated the question of the
validity of the Scotch marriage, and after consulting Scotch
lawyers and others on the subject we have arrived at the
opinion that it cannot be sustained sa • valid marriage.
The Lord Chief Barns—Upon all that we can give no
opinion, but if you are desirous either to withdraw the
pies altogether or to consent at once to the rule being
made absolute to enter a verdict for the plaintiff, you may
adopt either course. We cannot, however, at all niter
into the question whether the Scotch marriage is good or
bad.
Mr. Chambers—But if • rule nisi is now granted, when I
come to argue against its being made absolute, your lord-
ships would, I apprehend, bare to utertaie that question.
The Lord Chief Baron—That does not follow at all, Mr.
Chambers.
Mr. Chambers—With perfect respect to the court, I aim
desirous of tanking an explanation in public.
The Lord Chief Baron—lf your object be to let it be sop.
posed that any statement you may make in public with re-
spect to the truth of say facie you advaboe, or as to the
validity of any point of law. receives the slightest sanative
by the court, you will wholly fail.
Mr. Chambers—That is sot my object, and I should be
ashamed of myself if it ware. I only ask the permission of
the court to state the reason why we consent to the ride
being made absolute in the first instance. Lord Host-
ingtower &imply put this plea upon the record
in order to see what evidence might be adduced
to sustain the alleged marriage is Scotland, it having been
skated that the plaintiff was able to *bow that it was • valid
marriage. Being the father of several children by the lady
whom be actually married, Lord Buotingtower and his
friend', were desirous that it should not go abroad that he
inseaded to invalidate what was celled his seemed 'marriage—
his marriage with Lady Hutiegtower. I have therefore felt
it my duty to save Showell the trouble of drawling ups rule
nisi by consenting to • rule absolute in the first instance,
Mr. Deoman—l don't easiest to anything. I will take
the rule ell, and it will be returnable in four days.
The Lord Chief Bass—Sorely we tea make the rule alma
late is the first induce if we like.
Bole absolute to enter a verdict for the plaintiff for 151.
