This was an action to recover £2B 10s. for commission,
plaintiff having obtained an order to the extent of £570.
Mr. Robinson (instructed by Mr. Price) appeared for
the plaintiff, and Mr. 3oyce (by Mr, Charnock, of King
William-street), for defendant.
It appeared that the plaintiff had obtained an order for
defendant, who is a ship store dealer, and the plaintiff said
that he was entitled to his commission for having actually
agreed with defendant that he should be paid. In fact de-
fendant had really received £2OO cash, and had offered
plaintiff £lO, but as defendant held a mortgage upon the
customer's property, it was refused.
Defendant, on the other hand, said that he had agreed
to pay a commission, but he had most positively told plain-
tiff that he would not pay one farthing commission until
he received his £570. Ile lied only received £2OO, and
the ship, with the debtor, had now left this country.
Defendant held a mortgage upon the ship, which had
gone to Natal. Defendant never paid any one com-
mission until all his claims were satisfied. In the course
of the case imputations were cast upon each side, and in
summing up bis lordship said that if the defendant had
been unfortunate in business there was no ground why
imputations should be thrown out. It was true he had
compounded with his creditors and paid 7s. in the pound;
but when he came into court upon oath to give evidence,
such matters should not be set against him. As regarded
plaintiff he (I'd not come into court with such a clear case.
He also had been unfortunate in business, but there were
also other circumstances involved,
and plaintiff had ad-
mitted that he had been discharged by the Blackwell Rail-
way Company for lending the company's money to another
clerk. It would be for the jury, under all the circumstances,
to say which side was entitled to most credence.
The jury, after a long consultation, retired after in-
foaming his lordship that there were eight on one side and
four on the other. (Laughter.)

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH- STREET.

Mu. WEMYSS JOBSON AGAIN.—Oa Mr. Tyrwhitt
taking his seat on the bench this morning, shortly after 11,
the hour at which the business now commences, much to
the annoyance and inconvenience of a large number of per-
sons—professional and business men--who are at the court
at 10 o'clock waiting to see the magistrate,

Mr. Wemyss Jobs;l3, of 7, Leicester-place, Leicester-
square, came before Mr. Tyrwhitt, and said that as an old
resident in the. district he had called to see whether through
the instrumentality of the Court he could learn anything
of his family, who were some thousands of miles away, and
of whom he could get no tidings, notwithstandinghe had used
every effort, but who, he believed, had been prevented hear-
ing from him through his letters being intercepted. He
was aware the court could do nothing for him in the
matter, but he thought if the press was kind enough to
give publicity to his application it might have the desired
effect.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had no doubt the press would assist
in the matter.
