NISI PRIUS COURT.-YESTERDAY

[Before Mr. Justice HILL and a Special Jury.]

COX V. TILE t-.TE.:M-LIOILER ASSURANCE COMPANN

The hearing of -t!i:s ca e which was commenced on
Satturda`• afternoon, was resumed at the sitting of the
court this morning,. The -examination of the plaintiff
was about to he continued, when _ _ _ _

His Lordship remarked that, in his mind, the whop
question resolved itself into a point of law. It Arai
trio mnltc• of site phintiri

mroany, were engaged for three
months, with an understanding respecting a further ar-
rangement Liter that time.. But it was now contended
by the plaintiff, that he was entitled to a greater amount
than had ken paid into court by the defendants • and
that bevond that, it was obligatory on the part of the
defendants to continue his services, and enter into a new
arrano•ement with him after the expiration of the three
months. The defendants, on the other hand, contended
that the rate of remuneration for the three months was
altogether in their discretion, and that they were under
no oblivtion to continue the plaintiff's services beyond
that period, the future arrangement referred to hav-
ing merely reference to the amount of salary, and
not as to the continuance of the engagement. His
lordship decided in favour of the defendants, with
permission for the plaintiff to move in the court
above to enter a verdict for himself ; and if the court
decided in his favour, the amount of damage to ki re-
ferred to an arbitrator, to be agreed upon by both
parties.

GALLAGHER

BUTTERFIF.I.D AND ANOT'HER,

This was an action for breach of contract. Mr.
Wilde, (4, c., and Mr. Melhuish appeared for the plaintiff,
and Mr. James, QC., and Mr. Bayliss for the defendants.
The action was broug.'ut by the plaintiff, who resided iu
Ireland, against the defendants, who were trustees under
a deed of as,ignmcnt far the benefit of creditors, which
deed was executed by Michael Molloy, a draper. carry-
ing on lxis;.ness at a place called Ardaragh, in Ireland:
Molloy, having got into difficulties, was forced to execute
the deed of assignment, and the -paintiff entered into an
agreement wit!' the Aefendants, as the trustees, to pur-
chars.) the stock. • The purchase money was £751 2s. 4d.

The deposit money of £do was at once paid by the plaintiff,
and on the 19th of May he accepted three bills for £660 ;
but although he had so accepted these bills in pursuance
of the terms of agreement with the trustees, they after-
wards refused to give up posses.iion of the stock, alleging
that between the period when the agreement was made,
and the time when the bills were accepted, Mr. Roberts,
who was acting for the trustees, had sold the stock to
another party, and was nowhere to be found. The con-
sequence was, that the plaintiff lost a chance of a profit-
able arrangement by having bmn. deprived of the re-sale
of the stock by retail, and hence the present action was
brought.

The plaintiff's son having been examined, and spoken
to the circumstanees under which the agreement between
himself and the defendant had been entered into, wit-
nesses having a practical knowledge of the value of
drapery goads were • called, and stated that they had
gone over the stock, and were of opinion that,
bad the plaintiff got posses •ion of it, he would have
realised a profit of between £4OO and £5OO by the
transaction.

The delence was that the original term!
had not been compliel with, inasmuch a

were not given, to the satisfaction of the trustee:,.
within the time specified, and that the contract we
therefore veil

The loam] judge having summed' up, the jury
retired to consider their verdni.
The court rose about seven o'clock.
