SUMMER ASSIZES.

OXFORD CIRCUIT--STAFFORD, July 23.
CIVIL COURT.
(Before Mr: Baron Martin and a Special Jury.)
WRIGHT V. IZOD.

This was an action on a bill of exchange forgl,ooo brought
by the endorsee against the acceptor.
Mr. Sergeant Pigott, Mr. Powell, and Mr. A. S. Hill
were for the plaintiff; and Mr. Kenealey, and Mr. Macna-
mare were for the defendant.

The plaintiff was Mr. Edwin Thomas Wright, of Wolver-
hampton, and the defendant was Mr. William Ized, of Bir-
mingham, and the defence was that no consideration had
been given by the drawer for the bill, and also that the bill
was obtained from the defendant by the fraud of the
drawer, who was Mr. Samuel Griffiths, of Wolverhampton,
an ironmaster there, who has lately figured in the Bank-
ruptcy Court, and that the plaintiff took the bill with no-
tice of the fraud and without consideration. The accept-
ance was cbtained as part of a payment of £3,000 to be
made by the defendant to Mr. Griffiths for a supply of
mel ting iron, upon a contract for such supply made between
them on the 27th of December, 1861, upon a representation
made to the defendant that Mr Griffiths had 200 or 300
tons of melting iron at Bilaton Brook; that he was making
40 tons of iron per week, and that he would deliver 600
ton- in a very short time; whereas the defendant said that
there was no such iron there, and that they were not
making iron at the rate of 40 tons per week, and that in
fact, he never got the iron, though he had paid the consi-
deration for it. The plaintiff denied all this, and it ap-
peared that the defendant had got a part of the iron, which,
however, he appropriated to a cheque for £l,OOO, which he
paid as another part of the £3,000, and that he had also
got £5O, and had received £l,OOO, which he put against
another £l,OOO bill, the other part of the £,3000 payment.
The case had occupied the Court since 11 o'clock, and has
not yet concluded.
