deuce., end that the defendant should not be at liberty to wit
up Of plead partnership with the punwr ea • defence. The
gouda' wee whether this rule wee valid and effectual.

Mr. M. ffralth,Q.C., appeared in support of the demurrer.
mka:rt4r, Q.C., fur the plaintiff said that this action
was to recover calls in accordance with the above-
rule, sad the question involved was one of coast-
deraMe isepertitace to persona Interested in cost-book minas.
When a shareholder in such a mine refund to pay his calla,
the process was to get some creditor to sue him to recover
the price of goods supplied for the mine ; but this was a
roundabout and inconvenient mode of recovering calla, and
the rule above referred to had been framed in order to pro-
vide a speedier remedy. He submitted that rule wee valid,
and that the action wee maintainable.
Mr. Justice Williams said it was very dear that there must
be judgment for the defendant. All they could see on this
n was, that there being, as Mr. Collier had SO touch-
ingly put it, great difficulty in enforcing calla against cost-
book shareholder*, these adventurers bad agreed to
get rid of the law in two respects; that they
should sue each other, though partners, and that
the punier should be a party to the action, though
he was no party to the contract, express or implied. They
might have agreed to that, but their agreement would not
The
the rules of law. The action not be maintained.
The plaintiff was nothing more than purser at the time the
action was brought, and had nothing to do with the matter,
except aa a servant of persons interlined. It might be
hard that they could not enforce their calls easier; but the
remedy was not to be sought at the hands of the court who
had to administer the law as it was, but from the Legisla-
ture ; and he knew no gentleman more qualified to frame
that remedy than the learned gentleman who had so feel-
ialy pourtrayed the distresses of the coat-book shareholders.

defendant) had fallen heed over heels in love with the first
pretty girl he had met with, and she happened to be the
plaintiff in this action. (Laughter.) He urged that the
plaintiff's lather bad acted most imprudently in allowing the
engagement to take place without the sanction of the de-
husdant'li parents. It was greatly to the defendant's credit
that he had never attempted to take an unfair or dishonour-
able advantage of the plaintiff. Neither party had the leant
stain on their characters ; and he hoped that party
Burks
would at some future day assist at the nuptials of the plaintiff
with war sensible man; whose ambition would be limited
to lees thaneight bridesmaids. (Laughter.) He contended that
a mnall sum would compensate the plaintiff for the injury rbe
14d sustained, and that her wounded 'Actions would heal up
ail the wound which the defendant had received in the service
of his country, and that she would soon cease to feel its
edicts altogether.
Mr. Baron Martin, in summing up, said that the only
question for the jury was the amount of damages which
would compensate the plaintiff, and in estimating them they
should consider the hoe which a person in the plaintiff's sta-
tion in life had sustained in not being made the wife of
eaptain in her Majesty's service with an income of 4001. per

I paid them over the occulter to Vsesey, who asked for the
amount in ten 201. notes. I gave him twenty 204 notes, all
following numbers, from 85,231 to 85,260 inclusive, which he
counted and then left the bank. I made an entry in the
book of twenty 201. note' of those numbers being paid to
Velem, but in extending the account I entered the amount
as ten 201. notes. I also paid him 41. 14a. 2d. in cash, for
interest upon the amount of the deposit notes. We disco-
vered there was a deficiency in the ash amount to the
amount of 200!. the mate evening, but we did not find out in
what manner the error occurred until the 19th, two days
after, and then I ascertained that I had given the }pi/veer
twenty notes instead of ten. On the evening of the 19th, I,
with Mr. Parkes, one of our clerks., went to Veasey's house,
end was referred to the Fountain public-home, where we
found the prisoner Verney. I inked him if he had been

201. notes. I said he bad received twenty 201. some, and he
again said, " I had pad him only ten." Mr. Parkes then
asked him for the numbers of the notes he bed received, and
be replied, " I am • lawyer, and will not be interrogated."

end he left us for that purism, and returned in abourea
en hoar and asked if we had been making inquiries about him
at the potioe-court. Mr. Parkes said be had, upon which
Vesely said he had a great mind not to give us any informa-
tion M all, and he then left the room. I saw him again on
the 21st, and I was alone. Upon that masks he showed
me nine 201. notes, numbered 86,232 to 86,240 Mohave.
Eliza Richardson said-1 am • servant to Mr. Varney. I

about the middle of December last. I found the note under
the edge in the kitchen of Mr. Vessey's house; but I did not
mention anything about it to mymester. I made no inquiries
about the note, and hoard nothing Men of it until very lately.
Jones brought me back the change, 171. 10s., and said he
had bought a watch with the balance, and he would repay
me the amount. I have sines heard that the note was stopped
