Evidence in corroboration of the above facts was then
adduced.

Mr. 6larkson, Mr. Huddlestone, and Mr. Parnell ap-
peared for the prosecution; Mr. Parry and Mr. Repton
for Wagner, Mr* Deanley for Kessler, and Mr. Cook
for Gerber.
Solomon Krahcour, the approver, was then called.
Mr. PARRY objected to his being examined, on the
ground that as he was a party to the record, he was not
an admissible witnesf, until either he was acquitted or a
verdict of guilty was found against him.
After settle argunitrqtts, the objctien was overruled by
Mr. Justice WILLIAms.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(More Mr. W. BURCHELL.)
RICHARDS V. BOATCH.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of
41. 125. There was no defence, and an action was given
for the amount.
The plaintiff's attorney applied for a certificate to
entitle him to costs, as the action could not be brought
tn. the County Court, as 01'3 plaintiff, who was in her
utiesty's service, had been drafted off to the Cape.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said there was a doubt
%hether, under the new Act, he had the power to grant
the certificate.
The plaintiff's attorney submitted that he was entitled
to it under the £Bth section, but the Under.Sboriff said
it would be better to apply to a Judge at chambers.
ENGLAND AND OTHERS V. BOYCE.
This was an action brought by the Leicester-square
Loan and Discount Society, to recover the sum of 10/.
on a promissory note.
The facts were devoid of general interest, the only
important point being a question whether a plaintiff, in
Person, could state his case to the jury, and also give
evidence.
Mr. TIIOMAS washeard in opposition, but the Learned
undee.Sheriff ruled, on the authority of the case of
"Hoare v. Baldwin," that a plaintiff could be heard.
The case was of no interest, but in consequence of the
forte of the pleading it lasted for a long time, and was
not concluded when our report left.
