Mr. Lush, Q.C., sad Mr. Hawkins appeared for the
plaintiff and Mr. O'Malley, Q C., sad Mr. Haan for the
dentdaat.

Tee pi;tatiii is a widow lady, and in May lost she was
&adroita of purchasing a public-ha us. She applied I. the
defendant who is a public-house broker, in Commercial-rood

lied, is Leadenhall.street, which house was fur sale. Mr.
Hayward said he wee doing 1001. a month, wept is one
month, whoa he bad doss only 801.
The plaintiff in her evidence said that, the same evening
she waist° the defendant and asked him if he would invest'.
gab the matter for bar, and he 'said h. would. She told
him what Hayward bad represented as to the business of
the house. Two or three dale after she irked the dediediat

it on Nov. 6. She had paid 2261. for the lime and mold it far
1001., and besides this there were many other lleme of loss
connected with the transaction.

--Thedefeniant7ec;se was that he had never heard of the
Stars Head being taken by the plaintiff until the 7th of
May, the day before the deposit wae.T. She then re-
quested him to meet her on the folio morning to carry
out the arrangement. She did not ask to make any in-
, qnirks, but asked him what bethought of the house, and he
said he liked the situation, and thought it cheap ; 2501. wee
asked for it, but he cut down that sum to 2254 Plaintiff
said her brother, • publican. had seen the house, and liked it
very much. Defendant knew nothing about the house
except its atnation. He had no recollec'ion of having add
that the house wee &perfect gem. The plaintiff called at hie
office about two mouths after she went into the house, and
on that occasion she made no complaint against him, nor did
he hear of any complaint until he got • lawyer's hotter.
Another point In the defendant'. came was, that the value of
the house had been very much depreciated by the plaintiff
having shut ft up.
Hie Lordship left it to the jury to may whether the de-
fendant had undertaken the investio ion of the business of
the house, and if so whether he had been guilty of negligence
in net fulfilling that duty.

liable and inexcusable ; and it was the duty of the court, for
the sake of commercial interests gmerally, to refuse the
bankrupt's certificate altogether, and to withdraw the protec-

Mr. Bagley asked for a limited protection.

SHARE LIS2&-211.16 DAY.

Two °Tun.

Although business in the railway *share market
has been far from active, considerable agitation
has prevailed, and at one period a very heavy
fall was exhibited, London and North Western
stock being marked as low as 1001; Midland,
at 981; Berwick, at 961; London and South
Western, at 97; Great Western, at 60;
Lancashire and Yorkshire, at 94/ ;
and Caledonian, at 931, A general recovery has
since taken place, but the present quotations still
resent in many instances a decline of 1 to
per cent, compared with the closing gates
of Saturday. London and North Western stock
j
is now quoted 1001 to ; Great Western, 601 to
61; Midland, 981 to 99 ; Lancashire and York-
shire, 941 to I;Great Northern, 261 to
81 per share ; Bastern Counties, 12 5-16 to
7-16 ; and London and South Western, 481 to 49
per share. As we write the market is rather steadier
in character.

Nearly all classes of foreign and colonial railway
securities have been depressed, especially Indian
and Canadian. Namur and Liege, Southern of
France, Oreat Luxembourg, Bahia and San Fran-
cisco, &c., are all lower, but the present quotations
are above the lowest point of the morning.
