LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)

AUCTION SALES AND RESERVE PRICES-IMPORTANT DECISION

-lIEGINBOTILOI V. COHEN.

This was an action to recover a loss on the resale of a
certain lot of goods, Mr. Ashley appearing for plaintiff,
who is an auctioneer, and Mr. Buchanan representing
defendant.

Plaintiff deposed that defendant had bid for a suite of
drawing-room furniture, and it was knocked down to him.
He neglected to clear it, and hence the resale.
Mr. Thichanan objected that no time was specified for
clearing in the catalogue.
Plaintiff said such might be the case, but the conditions
of sale were printed in large letters and posted in the room.
His Honour held that this would be sufficient to bind a
bidder.

Mr. Buchanan—Well, then, I come to my second defence.
Your Honour will see that the catalogue states "without
reserve." Now, plaintiff, was there any reserve price to
this lot ?
Plaintiff—There was.
Mr. Buchanan—Then, I contend that the whole sale is
vitiated.

Plaintiff—But tliis was a pawnbroker's lot, and it is
perfectly well understood in the trade that there is always
a reserve price.

His Honour was of opinion that it was highly improper
to advertise goods in a catalogue to be sold without reserve,
when all the time there was a reserve price. There could
be no doubt about the law, and that the sale was void.
Plaintiff would be nonsuited.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,--This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A CABMAN'S LICENCE SUSPENDED FOR FURIOUS DRIV-
ING.—William Potter, cab driver, badge 13,205, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and furiously driv-
ing a horse attached to a cab in the Haymarket.
Sergeant Oliver, 294 A, at half-past eight last night saw
the defendant driving a horse attached to a four-wheel cab
up the HaymarkOt, in the direction of Cockspur-street, at
the rate of fourteen miles an hour, whipping the horse all
the time. The defendant pulled up at the Waterloo pub
Rehouse, and was about to leave his cab and go into the
house, when the sergeant took him into custody, and found
that he was drunk. A great number of persons had fol-
lowed the defendant expecting that some serious acci-
dent would occur.

The defendant said ho was not drunk.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said that galloping a horse in such a place
as the Haymarket was a most dangerous practice. He
should suspend the defendant's license for a month, that
being the only thing that had any effect on cabman, and
the next time the defendant appeared before him on a simi-
lar charge, his license would be rovoked altogether.
The defendant seemed much surprised at the decision,
but cases of furious driving have been very numerous at
this court of late.
