COMMON PLEAS-(T HIS DAY.)

FOSTEk V. STEELE.
Mr. Sergeant WYLDE said this action was on a policy of
insurance, and was brought by the plaintiff, who was the owner
of the ship Elizabeth, trading between the port of London and
Sierra Leone, against the defendant, an underwriter at Lloyd's.
The case had been trial on two different occasions, and wai
heard at Guildhall before the Lord Chief Justice, when vor-
diets in each were had for the plantiff, lie now moved
for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not. be set,
aside and a new trial had, on the ground that the verdict will
against evidence. The vessel in question sailed on the 9,11 of
August from the coast of Alden, and on her arrival off this
island of Madeira she was abandoned by the crew, as she was
then in a leaky condition, arid ultimately lost. The Learned
Sergeant entered at length into a minute detail of the circum-
stances, the particulars of which were fully reported at the
time that the trial took place.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—Take a rule to show cause.
Rule granted.

MOhISON V. HARMER.
In this case Mr. KELLY moved fur a rule to show cause why a
new trial should not be had on the first issue, or why judgment
should not be entered for the plaintiff non obstante veredicto,
on that issue, on the grounds that the verdict was against ev►-
deuce. The action was brought for an alleged libel which ap-
peared in the Weekly Dispatch in August 1836, the particu-
lars of which are fresh in the minds of the public, and was
tried at the sittings after last term.
The Learned Counsel had not concluded his arguments at
the time of going to press.
