sincLIFF V. BOOTH•

WORCESTER HANDICAP.

Mr. Mellish moved in this case for a rule to set aside a
verdict which had been given for the defendant in this case
when the cause was originally tried at York. Both plain-
tiff and defendant were millowners, occupying
premises on
either side of a stream, and the action was brought for ille-
gally diverting the water course. After a very long trial
the jury were of opinion that only a reasonable quantity of
water had been diverted, and he now moved to have that
decision reversed.

Rule to show cause granted.
MAY V. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.
Mr. Bovill moved on leave reserved to set aside a verdict
which had been given in this case, in which the jury had
given a verdict of £25 damages for the non-delivery of a
quantity of dresses, and other decorations which were to be
used in a Forrester's procession, which was to take place at
Seaham. The property was sent to the railway in good
time, but in consequence of its being sent by the defendants
via Newcastle instead of Sunderland, it was not delivered
until a day after that fixed for the procession. The railway
company denied their liability for the detention.
The Court granted a rule to show cause.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
(Sittings in Banco.)
SACK V. FORD.
Sergeant Shee moved for a rule to set aside the verdict
in this case, which was originally tried at Guildford, and a
-verdict given for the plaintiff. The point in issue was
whether the defendants, as owners of a certain ship, were
liable for the price of a cargo of oats, which had been de-
stroyed in consequence of a quantity of speller being placed
above it.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

At the trial a point was reserved, and it was upon that
the present application was made.
Rule granted.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius.)
WETHERALL Y. WHITMEE.
This was an action brought against the defendant for re-
covery of damage for false imprisonment, in charging the
plaintiff with embezzlement and obtaining goods under
false pretences.

The plaintiff was a commercial traveller, and in June
last he met the defendant, who carried on business in part-
nership with his father, as raachiniets, in Clerkenwell, and
after some conversation he told the plaintiff to go to work
for him as traveller to solicit orders for patent belting for
machingy. He was to call on owners of machinery, and
sell goods by sample; and was authorised to receive ac-
counts, and he did so to the extent of £lOO a week, and he
was also authorised to deduct his wages therefrom. Some
disagreement took place between plaintiff and defendant,
and on the plaintiff going into the office at the factory,
he, defendant, ordered him to go away, as he would
have nothing to do with him, and on his refusal to
do so until he had seen defendant's father he knocked
him ddwn, and one of the workmen coming by, he, by
his advice, left the office; but he presented himself
next day, and went to defendant's father at his office in
Fenchurch-buildings, who told him to go on, and paid him
his wages. He then took a piece of belting down to Wool-
wich for the Steam-boat Company to try, but not succeed-
ing in obtaining the order he left the material at a public •
house in the neighbourhood ; but after the quarrel he took
it to, and left it at, the Stratford• bridge Railway Station.
On Sunday, Feb. 23, two policemen came to plaintiff's
house, in company with a man named Trinter, and he was
given into custody for embezzling £1 2s. which had been
paid him by a customer, named Mieklejohn. He was
taken before a magistrate, remanded, and detained in pri-
son, whither he was conveyed in the common prisoner's
van ; and on the re-examination the defendant's father was
examined, and the plaintiff was discharged.
The defence set up was, that there was reasonable cause
for the plaintiff's detention.

The case was proceeding when we went to press.
