QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DA.

DOE DEM CARTER V. JAMES.
This case, which was part heard yesterday, was resuma
this morning, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL having proceeded
to address the Jury for the defendant. The case turns,
upon the validity of a will executed by Mr. John Simmonds,
and involving the disposition of property to the amount of
upwards of 20,0001.
I The case is likely to occupy the Court till a late hour.

COMMON PLEAS.-(TRIS DA

CONNOP V. LEVY.
This case had not concluded on Monday, and was re-
sumed this morning. The action was brought to recover'
damages for an alleged malicious prosecution. Mr. Ser-
geant Wilde, Mr. Sergeant Andrews, and Mr. Hoggi!'
appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, blr'
Adolphus, and Mr. Roberts for the defendant.
The plaintiff was the lessee of the Victoria Theatre, and
the defendant a sheriff's officer, who had lent on hire a glass
curtain at the rate of 61. per week, but which was to be i
purchased for 275/. The defendant had at various times
advanced about 6001. to bear the expences of the house' 1
and in consideration of this and the hire of the glass curtail),
he was to have the privilege of appointing a treasurer, and
he power of signing three double admissions to the thea-
tre, and to have a private box for himself. Subsequently
to these arrangements, the theatre had ;been assigned over
to the plaintiff, and he excluded the defendant from the
house, and deprived him of his privileges. The defendant
upon this filed a Bill in equity, and indicted the plaintiffl
and others for conspiring to deprive him of the security for
his legal debt. The plaintiff wils acquitted on that 0051
!sion, and the present action was brought to recover for the{
prosecution. The case was likely to occupy the Court the,
entire of the day.

EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY•

PALMER, ADMINISTRATOR, V. WILDES AND OTHERS.
This was an action brought by the administrator of act
deceased Mr. Palmer, late an eminent merchant in Mine"'
ing-lane, City, to recover from Messrs. Wildes and Col
the American merchants, the sum of 357/.

Mr. ALEXANDER (with whom was Mr. Richards) stated
the case to the Jury. It appeared that the deceased 11t1
had many dealings with the defendant. In the year 18
he bought from them 4,543 bags of ginger, which were thee
in store in Liverpool. As he wished to send it to the
American market, and having no correspondent there, he
entered into an agreement with the defendants by which
the ginger should be consigned to them for sale in New
York, they allowing 1,0001. of the 1,3031., the price of the',lnt, '
to remain as an advance upon the consignment. He was per'
titular in giving positive directions that the ginger should not
be sold unless at an advance upon the then price of 84 cents'.
per lb. In the October of the same year, being in the de°
fendant's house upon some other business, he was informed
of the sale of a part of the ginger at prices varying from '8
to 9 cents. He again gave distinct orders that it should
not be parted with, unless at the above price. He heard
no more of it until some months after, when the defendant!
sent him in an account of sales, from which it appeared thel
greater part of the ginger had been sold at 5 cents., which)
sale he immediately repudiated. He was also furnishedl
with an account current, from which it appeared that the
sale in question was debited to him at 1,3031. Bs. 9d., whth,'
the credit given him for its sale was only 946/. ; for the o'l
ference of the two sums the action was brought. He wouhli
,be obliged to call his witnesses from the house of the dc
fendants, but he had no doubt they would prove to be re'l
spectable and honest witnesses, and that the facts would be
fairly laid before the Jury, and if so he would not entertain',
a dmiht of ha.vinm a vpraiot-
The Learned Gentleman then called his witnesses, bcti
failed to make out his case, and the plaintiff was nonsuited.
