COUNTY COURT v

(BEFORE J. POLLOCK, ESQ.. THE JUDGE.)
FRAUD SUMMONS.—GILLOW V. EDWARDS.—The defend-
ant in this case was called upon to show cause why be had not
complied with a former order of the court. It came out in
evidence that the plaintiff had taken out an execution against
the defendant's goods, but it could not be carried into effect in
the I CODSCOUCO

but infor

s it wasalleged, of the property having been handed
over to the daughter, who had since carried on the business—
that of a painter, it, Dale-street. The plaintiff, in consequence
of that fraud, requested the court to commit the defendant.
This allegation was denied, and it was stated that the daughter
had purchased the property. His Honour adjourned the case
until the ➢iay court, when the daughter was to bo produced
in order that the truth might be elicited.
Several applications' for commitment in fraud summons
cases were made, and some commitments also made. None of
the cases possessed the slightest public interest.
ROWE v. FOOKE AND OTHERS.—This was an application
made to have a case replaced which had, been withdrawn .as
settled. Mr. Hime appeared for the plaintiff', and Mr.
Campbell for the defendants, who were members of a society
called the Householders' Association. The action had been
brought to recover an amount for professional services rendered
to defendants, and when about to come on for trial it was
withdrawn. The plaintiff now contended that he had not
given a final consent to the withdrawal. His Honour, however,
having heard affidavits on both sides, declined to replace the
case, remarking that it would be a very had example to other
suitors, if he were to do so for a professional man who did
not attend sufficiently to his own case. He also atatod that
he saw no reason why he should not give Rooke his costs of
preparing for the trial,
