STRANGE CURE OE THE CATTLE DtsE►sE.—A
remarkable cure of cattle plague is reported to have been
effected by Mr. John Parker, of the Crow Tree., near Cohie,
in East Lancashire. It appears that a cow belonging to
Mr. Premoo, • neigbbouring fanner, had got to an ad-
vanced stage io the plague, end had been ordered to be
destroyed. Parker, however, begged to be permitted to
♦ry a few experiments upon the animal He was ulti-
mately allowed to do en. In the first place he took a
hails, and made an inesion across the loins of the cow from
one side to the other. He then drew the knife along each
side of the rib up to the shoulders. Then be made a deep
tut in the neck, which penetrated close to the windpipe
and gullet. Afterwards the wounds thus made were filled
with salt and saltpetre, and next morning washed with salt
sad water, and this rubbed with vinegar which bad pre-
viously been boiled. Parker then filled the wounds with
" green bales." Immediately after the operation tke animal
showed symptoms of improvement; the akin and flesh
as far 1.1 they bad been cut mortified away, and new flesh
and skin rapidly reformed. The animal is now healthy and
eats well.

The defence was, that the defendant was suffering from
an attack which rendered it impossible for him to perform
except at the risk of life, and they mutually came to a ter-
mination of the engagement. Mr. Sothern did not go to
Birmingham for the purpose of breaking his engagement,
and he very naturally felt aggrieved at the manner in
which be bad bean treated by the plaintiff. It was an
usfortunate affair, and if Mr. Branborough had suffered
in pocket, Mr. Sothern had been • greater loser, as he
would have had half the gross receipts. It wee therefore
to Mr. Sothern's interest to have performed if his health
would hive permitted it. It was during his Ulnas that an
application was made to him to go to Dublin, and he went
there against his medical adviser's consent. He sated there
one day, and be bad to he attended the following day by a
medical man is Dublin.
The defendant was celled, and deposed—l had no other
engagement for the period I was to perform for the plaintiff.
I did cot state to the plaintiff at the Café de l'Earepe that I
was under an engagement with Mr. liendencoo, or
that I had made one inconsistent with his. I wished to make
soother engagement, but the defendant objected, and the
matter dropped. My engagements at Plymouth and Exeter
occupied my time up to the 7th October, and I had ar-
ranged to go to Dublin on the 9th October. During my
fortnight's engagement at Plymouth I was very unwell,
end I apologised to the audience on the last night for the
uosatisfattory performance arising from sore throat after
an attack of bronchitis. On the 18th September I was en.
gaged to play at Exeter. I performed there, and my throat
was still bad. I had made every arrangement for com-
mencing my engagement on the 19th at Birmingham ; Mr.
Addison had gone on some days before. Mr. Andrews, my
secretary, preceded me. I had intended to leave
Exeter early in the day, bat I was prevented by
the state of my throat. I could not venture to get up early,
and I consequently left by &later train, but io ample time
to arrive and take part in the performance. Between
Exeter and Bristol my throat became worse, but 1 con-
tinued my journey, and all'iough the train was twenty
minutes late I arrived in time. When I arrived at Bir-
mingham I was very nearly speechless. At the station I
met Mr. Andrews, and I accompanied him in • carriage to
the theatre. My voice was then so bed that 1 could not
possibly have dimmed the audience. We made all haste
to the theatre, and on the way, Mr. CHM the defendant's
dime manager, mid, " It's all right ; you are just is time
but I told him it was impossible that I could
play. The plaintiff came to the door of the theatre with
his acting-menager, and they behaved insultingly to me. I
lost my voice altogether after I got into the theatre, and
then I loft and drove to private lodgings which I had taken
for three weeks. In the theatre some one asked me it I
had no sympathy for the manager, and I replied I had no
sympathy for soone who had treated me as they had
done. Mr. Swanborongh asked me to address the midieoce,
but 1 was utterly unable to do so. Oo the following day I
sew Mr. Swenborough at my lodgings in the morning, and
I informed him that he had behaved en ill towards
me, threatening law proceedings, that I would not
play that evening unlass he made • new engagement.
He asked me why I required it, and I replied
simply as a matter of principle. A new engage-
ment was made, end I performed for the week. I bad

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Dec. 23.

Sittinp at Niel Prins is Lendou.—(Be(ore Mr. Justice
Willer ends Special Jury.)
BAKER r. PETIRS.
- -

This was an action to recover 457., the price of a horse.
Mr. Berjeant Parry and Mr. Laxton appeared for the
plaintiff ; and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., for the defendant.
The plaintiff was a dealer in cattle and bones at Greys,
in Ease:, and the defendant resided at Woldhatn Hall, near
Rochester. The transaction took place with the defen-
dant's son, who mainly managed the business ; the horse
was sent to the defendant's plain and left there, but it was
in a few days returned. The objection to retain the
horse was that it bed such a big head ; but the plaintiff's
answer was, Its bead is the same size as when it was sold,
and therefore that is an idle excuse."
Evidence was laid before the jury, and two questions
were raised—whetbez there bad been a sale, and whether
there had been an acceptance of the thing sold within the
meaning of the statute of fraud•.
The jury found for the plaintiff.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Dr.c. 23.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)
IN Be 31‘KERROW AND SONS.—JeDGMENT.
This case has been frequently before the court on the
baekropts applying for their orders of discharge, and, his
Honour having taken time to consider, now gave judg-
ment.
Ye said—The bankrupts, a father and two eons, have
carried on business since the year 1857 at London and Glee-
now as fancy dress manufacturers. no goods were manu-
factured at Glasgow, under the superintendasce of Hugh
lelf snow, the youngest of the bankrupts, and were sold in
London by John Atli:erre+, senior, and John Itl'Kerrow,
Junior, the eldest eon, who together conducted what is
called the " financial arrangements "of the firm. The
bankrupts state that they began with a capital of 1,000/.,
and that in the year 1859 they had so prospered as to have
a surplus of 4,000 f. From !big time their prosperity forsook
them, end by slow but steady progress they came to beak.
rUptCy. In 1860 their surplus was reduced to something
over I,OOW. In 1861 it had disappeared. In 1862 they
were deficient 4.000/., and they commence the ac-
counts they have filed on the requisition of the
assignees with a deficiency of 7,2171. on the let of
November, 1863. It appears from these accounts that
during the next twelve months their purchases amounted
to 18,8411., and their sales to 18,4001., and they made a
gross profit of only 2891. ; whilst io earning this trifling
amount they paid for discount and interest 1,4311., for
trade expenses 2,4681., and drew out for their own personal
expenses 1,6851. In November, 1864, they failed, owing
5,2771. to unsecured trade creditors, 5,680/. liabilities on
bills, and 13,9611. oo accommodation bills. The deficiency
is admitted to be 20,7451. after taking credit for assets
stated to be worth 3,800/., hut which have only realised
about 3,0001. The assignees have charged the bankrupts
who carried on the London business with two °Sermon
under the 159th section ; let, having carried on business by
meansof fictitious capital; and 2ndly..with having contracted
all their debts since the let November, 1863, without any
reasonable expectation of payment. The item of 13,961/.
for accommodation bills gives some clue to the mode in
which the firm continued to trade so long after
they were' insolvent, and the largeness of their present
deficiency. The bankrupts had two or three years ago sold
goods to certain other firms, and drawn bills for them in
the ordinary course of busing's., or drawn bills promising to
supply goods to meet them, but those firms having been
wholly or in part unable to take up the bills when due, they
were renewed from time to time, and the amount gradually
increased until the sum outstanding reached its present
amount. These finns were five in number, Luke Aahly,
orington, Eaton and Co., Evans and Lewis, Eylee and
Evans, and John Torment, and the amounted billion which
the bankrupts were liable at the date of the bankruptcy
was 21.0451. of which 13,9611. was for the accommodation
of the bankrupts. The bankrupts baying over and over
again renewed the bills which represented the real debt due
from those firms to them, must have known that those bills
' would in feet be paid in full by the acceptors, and es
soon as M`Kerrow and Co. stopped payment the other
houses also failed and have since arranged with their ere-
, ditere by payment of compositions varying from 14s. to
Is. 6d. in the pouinL Part of the bills when accepted were
gent to Hugh ti•Kerrow at the manufactory at Glasgow,
end were by him amounted by the Bank of Scotland end
abets, asd another part were discounted in England by
creditors who now complain. There is nothing to show that
the creditors bad any reason to know or @aspect that those
bills were other than legitimate trade bills. The bankrupts
are now charged with having in this manner carried on
trade by means of fictitious capital, and with having in-
coned all the debts now due, which they contracted since
the let November, 1863, without reasonable expectation
of payment. On behalf of the bankrupts it is mind by
Mr. Reed, their counsel, that they commenced business
en manufecturers by hand•loom, and having been at first
successful they did not like to give up the contest with
the French manufacturers and the manufacturers by
, power•loom, but tried hard by paying great attention to
their designs and by the introduction of improvements to
carry on the competition. It is also said that the bill
transactions were not purely for aocommodaticio, but
were based upon large business transactions which bad
!taken place between the parties; that the bankrupts did
not go on until they had nothing left, but have brought
into court an estate which has realised 3,0004, and must
have cost them much more. Meer traders, it is said,
not excepting bankers, have felt themselves justified in
not succumbing at once to temporary difficulties, bat
have struggled, and struggled successfully, against them,
sad in the end have triumphed, and these bankrupts hoped
that ultimately they would make their trade a profitable
one. In considering the order whichshould be made upon this
applicatirm. I think it clearly proved that the bankrupts
trading io London must have keens during the libelee( the
eat 1864,f roan the necamity they were under to carry on their
baginsca by means of the bills drawn and re-drawn as the
other house,, and from the gradual but rapid increase in the
amount for which such bills were overdrawn, and also from
the fact that they were eelliog their goods at a gross profit
of so trifling an amount, and in very many eases at an ab-
echelon on the cost prise,' that their failure was inevitable,
and that they had no reationable expectation abatis; able to
pefell their debts io full. It appear to be proved that they
harm the acceptors could never pay the bills in full, sad I
am of opinion that the Snide so carried oe by means of bills
doers for the acceeileedetioe et the beabepte ups

drawers who they knew had no intention of paying them.
and had not the means of paying even it they intended, may
well be said to be a trade carried on by means of fictitious
capita There is, however, a gnat distinction between i
the conducl of the three bankrupts, and the evidence shows, 1
and I believe it is admitted by the &mignon, that
Hugh hi'Kerrow was engaged in attending to the
manufactory at Gleagow, and knew nothing of the prices at 1
which the goods veers sold is Loudon, cc the nature of the
transtiotion between the London partners and the aceeptors
of the bills. He received the bills from his partners as
legitimately representing the payments made for the goods, •
and was 00000 informed of the insolvent position of the
firm. There does not appear to be any offence committed
by him under the 159th section, and be must take his order
of discharge. A distinction is also sought to be made
between the other partners, because John H'Kerrow, jun.,
acted under the influence and authority of his father. The
assignees have referred to a case of " Ex-parte Barker,"
9 L.T., 672, re which the bsokrupt's cvnler of diseharge was
wholly refused for accepting scoommodation bills to the
amount of 4,0001. Every case, however, depends upon it
own circumstances ; and the offence in that case was oon-
tracting that amount of debt without receiving any
advantage from it, and having no means whatever of paying
it. He had no grounds of expectation arising out of the
transections. The present bankrupts, however, got the
proceeds of the bills, from which they may have expected
to pay mom* part, if not all, the debt so contracted.
The order of the court will be this : the order of die.
charge of the bankrupt John WIC errow the elder mast
be suspended for three years, and that of John sl'Rerrow
the younger for two years and six months from this day.
snd that they have no protection for six months. Bat if
the benkrupts be arrested, then they may have their orders
of discharge—Jobn hi•Kerrow, see., after eight months',
and John M'Kerrow, jun., after seven months' imprison-
ment.
Mr. Reed—Will your Honour grant a month's protection,
to enable the bankrupts to take the opinion of the Court of
Appeal f
Mr. Lawrence. for the assignees,said be must not be
• understood as assenting to the application.
His Honour—The bankrupts may have protection for one
month.
Judgment accordingly.
