COUNTY COURT.-YESTERDAT

Mr. Conway presided yesterday in this court.
BRUMBY v. BUCHANAN.—The plaintiff in this ease, who
is a car and horse proprietor, sought to recover £4 35 64
from George Buchanan, Woodstock-street, Scotland-road,
being the amount of damage sustained by the breaking
of the shaft of a whitechapel, and the loss of the services
of a horse for seven days. The damage was stated to
have occurred in consequence of an accident which took
place while the horse and conveyance were hired out by
the defendant from the plaintiff. Mr. Hime appeared for
the defendant. It was stated in evidence that defendant
had hired a horse and shandry from the plaintiff, to go to
Kirby, where there was a coursing match, and on return-
ing the horse and vehicle, it was found that a shaft of
the conveyance was broken, and that the horse had
received so severe a strain as to render him unfit for
work for seven days. The repairs of the shaft cost
.z.l 17s, and the rest of the amount charged was for the
loss of the horse's services. Mr. Hime stated that the
defendant had stipulated, when engaging the horse,
that he should have a quiet one, and received
an assurance from the plainiiff that the horse in question
was perfectly quiet. The animal, however, proved
perfectly unmanageable, and on the way home at night, it
ran away, fell down, and did the amount of injury to
itself and the conveyance for which the plaintiff sought
to recover damages. The defendant and other witnesses
wero called to sustain this view of the case. His Honour
said, it was somewhat difficult fully to nnderstaud the
case, but he thought the balance of evidence was some-
what in favour of the defendant, A verdict was accord-
ingly given for the defence.

BANKRUPTCY COURT.-YESTERDAY,

turers of waterproof fabrics, under the firm of`Kinnell

A. BRITISH WELCOME.--Preparations are on foot at Leeds
to give the 4th Dragoon Guards—who took a conspicuous
Part in the cavalry charge at Balaklava—a hearty welcome.
The regiment is to be met at the railway station by the
mayor and gentry. The bells are to be rung. A procession
will be formed from the station to the barracks to precede
the military. Refreshments will be provided and sent to
the barrack for the military there. A committee has been
appointed, and a subscription list opened to carry out the
arrangements.
THE Guanns.—Of the officers of the
brigade of Guards
who have just come home with their regiments, there is not,
we believe, a single one who went out with the brigade in
February, 1854, and who since remained uninterruptedly
in the Orimea. Major Goodlake, of the Coldstreams, has
been out from the period 'of the embarkation of his
regiment, and has not yet come borne, being on the
Quartermaster Generals staff. Lieut.-Colonel Higginson,
of the Grenadiers, who also served uninterruptedly from
the Commencement, came home a few weeks since.
