BOROUGH HOP.
The business doing in all kinds of hops is very moderate.
Good and fine home-grown parcels are tolerably firm as to
price, and the beat foreign produce fairly maintains its pre-
vious value; otherwise, the quotations have a drooping
tendency, Last week's import was comparatively small,
viz., 24 bales from Bout gne, 105 Hombre', 27 Antwerp,
and 24 from Bremen.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

SHERIFF'S COURT.

717RNING THE TABLES-NOVEL POINT •BURFORD V.

BONING.

This was an action to recover for commission earned, and
defendant was described as " Koning trading as Herbert."
Mr. Beard appeared for the plaintiff, and a female an-
swered for defendant.

The Lady said—lt is no use going on, as Mr. Koning
knows nothing of it.

His Honour—There is some question about the service
of the summons.

Mr. Beard--I will soon get over that. Now, madam,
are you not Mrs. Koning ?
Lady—No ; nor am I Mrs. Herbert. I never passed as
either.

Mrs. Beard—Perhaps you had better be sworn.

The lady having been sworn, Mr. Beard again questioned
her as to her knowledge of defendant. She then admitted
having lived with him as his wife some time ago.
His Honour—The return to the summons says, delivered
to a woman, who said there was no person of the name of
Koning or Herbert living there.

Lady—Neither is there.
Mr. Beard—Upon a previous occasion a similar return
was made, and we did not attend, when defendant came
forward and claimed costs in our absence.

His Honour—Defendant must pay this claim. But you
will take your chance of catching him.
Plaintiff—Oh I I will catch him.

Lady—That you never will I (Great laughter.)
Verdict for plaintiff with costs.
BOSS V. KIMPTON.—JUST SAVING THE STATUTE OF

LIMITATIONS.

This was an action to recover damages for the non-
delivery of a certain parcel.
Mr. Buchanan appeared for defendant, who pleaded the
statute of limitations.

Mr. Buchanan said a very singular fact had arisen during
the progress of this suit. Plaintiff had just saved the
statute by two days. The summons was issued on the 19th
Feb., 1863, and the cause of action arose on the 21st Feb.,
1857. The plea, therefore, would not be pressed, but the
defendant would meet the case on its merits. It certainly
was cutting the matter very finely, but he (Mr, Buchanan)
would admit that the issuing of the summons on the 19th
February removed the plea.
Plaintiff was called, but did not appear, and costa were
awarded to defendant.
