COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.-(TIIIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE MORRIS.

-This case, which was noticed in yesterday's Sun, was
resumed to-day. _

Mr. Bagley, for the assignees, applied for further
accounts, as a cash-book had been lost or mislaid.
Mr. Lawrance, for the bankrupt, said he could not
object to an adjournment, as the accounts were very
intricate, and it might be necessary to give further ac-
counts, although the greatest care had been taken by
Messrs. Robinson and Knowles, the accountants, but
the materials were not complete.
His Honour said the better way would be to adjourn
the case, and for the assignees to deliver requisitions for
the bankrupt to answer and file further accounts if
necessary.

•
Mr. Turner, for creditors, opposed on a question
arising out of an assignment of the Sohan Gas Works,
but the case had not concluded at the time the report'
left.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before R. Gurney, Esq.)

WHARF CHARGES.-BARRY AND ANOTHER v. HEINEMAN.
The plaintiffs are wharfingers, and defendant is a mer-
chant in the city' and the action was brought to recover
charges on goods under the following circumstances.
It appeared by the evidence that the goods had been
deposited with the plaintiffs by Messrs. Northcote and
Co., who had given an order for inspection, which was
presented by defendant, who looked over the goods.
It was, therefore, contended that ho was liable to pay
the charges.

The plaintiff's witness, however, admitted that it was
customary for the charges to be paid by the importers,
but in many instances they were paid by the broker or
merchant. In this case the order to view, in addition
to the general form, had the words "he paying the
charges "—those words had been erased with a pen, but
Messrs. Northcote and Co. had not put their initials
to it.

His Honour said, that if the plaintiffs had entertained
any doubt, they ought to have sent to Messrs. North-
cote, but it appeared that they acted upon the orders as
it now stood. They had not made out any case to take
this out of the customary rule, and judgment must be
for defendant.

His Honour asked defendant if he received the order
in the state it was from Northcote and Co.

Defender replied that he had it from a third party.
His Honour said that,the defendant was not in error,
and would be allowed the costs of his attendance.

A VERY AWKWARD MISTAKE.-HATCH V. HOTSON.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of 4/.
155., for folding and binding numbers of Hotson's Rail-
way Time Tables.

The defence was that the plaintiff had misfolded 143-
wards of seven hundred of the October numbers, and
in some there was a total omission of four pages—the
consequence was that they were returned on his hands—
indeed it had done him a serious injury and many of the
customers would not sell them, and the sale had de-
creased from 10,000 to 8,000, the advertisements had
been affected ; he did not examine the books and it was
next to impossible to look through each.
His Honour said the difficulty was the retaining the
books.

Defendant said that he was not aware of the error till
they were returned as useless. The plaintiff would have
been entitled to Is. for the books if they had been pro-
perly folded. He (defendant) had charged plaintiff with
the value of the books which had been spoiled.
His Honour said that the defendant ought to have
pleaded a set-off; as it was, he must pay, deducting the 78.
Defendant said be should bring an action.
A RAILWAY EXCURSION GRATIS.
In a case otherwise of no importance, the defendant
had been brought up from Liverpool, and obtained a
a verdict with all the costs of coming up to town and
back.
