PARKER P. PALMS*.
This was an ace tried before the Lord Osier
Justice at Guildhall, at the sittings befalls
last Term, for a breach' of contract. The Jul,
found for the PI • tiff, dantaiges 1,7420 Pk
1920, the Defendant had agreed to boy' T,946'lifigis
of East India- rice, then lying in the East Witt
Company's warehouse. The purchase was by sant-
pie, and dee contract contained • stipulate/is ityf
which the Defendant was authorised to put the slit
up at theiteet. June sale of the East India Coni-
puny, in the name of the Plaintiff, the intent of
which was to evade an auction duty, to whit-ludo.
Defendant would otherwise have been bah
The rice was accordingly offered for sale by, Jams-
plea draw«. by the ERA hobs Company at the Jove.
sale, and the Defendant ordered his broker not as
let it go under 14s. 6d. per bag (IL per bag.coore
than he had agreed to pay for ii), btu no one oflW-
ing that sum for it, the rice was bought in. In the
month of Augoit following, the Defendant declut‘
ed the rice was not equal to the sample, sod tefttaell
to execute his contract.
The SottctToa-Gilirititsr„ on a former dtgro
had obtained a rule to chew cause why a new trial
should not be had, on the ground that the declara-
tMo should have expressly set out that the sale was
by sample, and also upon the ground that the rel.
diet was contrary to law.
Mr. Scsat.Err now shelved cause 2%8.'110 the
rule, and contended that the Oeferidaut, by pot-
ting up the goods to sale, and demanding a bared'
profitable price, had exercised an set of ownership
over them. No fraud could have loco control-
plated by the Plaintiff, as the fist sample by,
which the rice was sold was drawn by the East
holm Company, as well as that by which the rice
was put sip to s,.le in June; and the Defendant had
seen both the samples at the time lie gave the
orders to his broker to part with the rice at a price
which would afford him a profit of nue shilling
a beg.
Mr. cAMPRELL was on the ante side.
The SoLtetTott-Gansasr. couteuded that the
putting tip the lice was only a mode of advertising
it for sale. The property iu the goods was not ii.
the Defendant till the month of August, arid the
objection had been made as soon as lie was aware
of the inferiority of the goods to the sample.
Mr. TINDALL and Mr. EVAN! followed on the
came side.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE Was of opinion th 4
it was no ground of 'loafing, because the Plaintiff
had not introduced the words "by sample" in his
declaration. A party need net set out the whole of
a contract, but only such part as he may mink
proper for his case, leering it to the threading to
make any additional matter which may be therein
ground of defence. The Defendant suffering the
goods to be put up for sale after a 101 l kilowlethes
of the quality which he had. attained from the se-
cond sample, and taking In. chance for a profitable
sale, was such a dealing with them as in justice and
mnseietsce ought to have stopped him from com-
plaining afterwards of the quality not being au good
us the sample by which he had bought them.
Mr. Justice flut.noeo and Mr. Justice BM
concurred in opinion with the LORD Cum, Jes.
Rule discharged.

HALF--PAY OFFICERS.
In our piper of yesterday we repo►td Lord Palmerston
to have stated, that, of the 8,100 officers now on half-pay, he
supposed that olie.half of them were ineligible or unwilling
tr. serve, and that the whole of the other half, 4,050, whom
he supposed willing to serve, would be brought un the full-
pay in nice years, at the rale afirrmisich the Commander-
is-Chief had brought officers from the half pay during the
past five years; but we omitted to report Ma. Husse's au.
suer to lord Palmerston. Mr. Hume stated to the House,
that his Lordship had mane a must extraordinary mistake;
that it was correct that, by the returns in his Lordship's
Mods, 411 °Metre bad here brought from the half-pay in
the past five years, and his Lordship had take. that number
re an annual .amber brought from halt-pay, and multiply-
ing by nine years, staled that 3 699 officers, or half the num-
ber of the whole half-pay officers, would thus be provided

Lrought annually for the past five years from t►e half-pay
bat, inured of 411 (which his Lordship had mistaken); and
that, consequently, if the same proportion were to be brought
on in future from the ball-pay, it would require 60 years in-
stead of nine years—so assiels for the Honourable Secretary's
con-woe's. He thought the diseretioa of the Coninsaader-

rance of the real facts; and be therefore owed it to the House
and to the Gesitlemsn whose name had bees vacationed by
Irk Hon. Friend, the Member for Worcester, whea the vote
