about ten o'e,lock, and at one proceeded with di,posiug of
the civil lis'.

BICHAFtD3ON V. KIHTIgRLEV.—This action, which was
not concluded when the Court rose on Saturday night, was
resumed. After a short time, the counsel on each side
held a conference, and the remit was that, by consent, a
verdict was given for the plaintiff.
BOWER V. BOOTH.—This action was brought to recover
the value of 50 loads of malt, £6B 2s. 6d. Mr. S. T.
Bower, malster, of Manchester, was the plaintiff, and Mr.
Richard Booth, a brewer, 'of 1-1 islingt m, was the
defendant. In the month of April last the plaintiff sold
the defendant 50 loads of malt, which was to be paid fur
in two tnunths after delivery. The eale and the delivery of
the goods was clearly proved, and also the application for
the money, which at first was promised, but afterwards
refused to be paid, on the groand that it was not then
due. For the defence it was argued that the purchase was
aside under the understanding that it was for four months'
credit, and that the time had not arrived when the writ
for the present action was issued. The jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount chimed.
tizstca v. WOOD.—This was an ection brought to recover
£l7 11x, for work and labour done. Mr. Joieph Leeeln a
tin-plate worker, was the plaintiff, and George and Win.
Wood, papermakers, were the defendants. In July,
1856, the defendant gave the plaintiff an order for a
cylinder for preparing a peculiar kind of fabric for the
lining of hats. The cylinder was completed and sent to
the premises of the defendant, but, before it could be got
to work, some injury took place to the cylinder, which
rendered it unfit for use, and hence the defendant
would net pay for it, alleging that it was through
the bad workmanship of the plaintiff. Howe:er,
the cylinder was repaired, and the present claim
was for making- those repairs. The defendants
alleged that they were not liable for the whole amount,
but that the plaintiff was to pay one.half of it. There
was also an allegation that the charge for repairing the
cylinder tv,s excessive and exorbitant. Mr. Fcarnley
appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Cross for the defendant.
Verdict for the plaintiff—damages £ll 17s. 91., exclusive
of the £5 paid into court.
The Court then adjourned until this day (Tuesday).
