COURT OF KING'S BENCH-,-(THIS DAY.)

WHITEHEAD v. SCOTT, AND OTHERS.
In this case Mr. Campbell a few days ago obtained a rule to
chew cause why there should not be a new triaL
It was an action brought to recover '2O/., the amount of an at-
torney's bill. The defendants were trustees of a person named
Bond, who had assigned over his effects to them for the benefit
of his creditors, and the question tried was, whether they were
liable fot, the amount of the bill, the assets in their hands not
being suftitlent for that purpose. The plaintiff alleged that they
had promised ttl pay, and so had rendered themselves liable. The
verdict was for the defendant.
Lord TENTERDEN having read over his notes of the trial,
said the Court would not grant a new trial except upon payment
of costs. He honed the parties would come to some arrangement.
Mr. POLL° K was then heard against the rule, and contended
that the verdict ought not to be disturbed, as in his opinion it was a
very proper one. All the parties in the case reside at Liverpool,
where the transactions out of which this cause arose took place,
however, the plaintiff laid his venue in Middlesex, and put the
defendant to a great expence in bring Pig up witnesses to town
no less than four times. He contended, that in any event, the
plaintiff ought to pay these expcnces, for the action could have
been tried at Chester, a distance of only 13 mile, in place of up-
wards of 2.00.
Mr. TOMLINSON followed on the same side.
Mr. CAMPBELL spoke at length in support of the rule.
Lord TENTERDEN ',the rest of the Judges concurring) said
the question was one peculiarly for the Jury, and hc saw no
reason to induce him to grant a new trial.—Rule refused.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

Their Lordships heard two motions (of no importance to the.
public) this morning, and nothing else being before them they
rose at eleven o'clock.
The Lord Chief Baron then went into the Exchequer Cham-
ber, where he took motions—one had occupied his attention up
to the time of our reporter leaving, and in it there was nothing
at all interesting to the public.
On the arrival of the Lord Mayor at one o'clock their Lordships
again took their seats. His Lordship was presented to the
Court by the Recorder, who in a long speech gave Sir John Key
a high character. His Lordship was then sworn into office with
the usual formalities, and then proceeded to the other Courts to
invite the Judges to dinner.
His Lordship then went off and was loudly cheered in the
Palace-yard, but his tail was sadly cut this time, there were only
two Aldermen, the two Sheriffs, and the other usual officers
present, so that the people were much disappointed with the
west-end part of the Lord Mayors show. The Recorder had his
own carriage there, and went off in it.

THE FLIGHT FROM BRISTOL.—Sir C.
Wrrxraatt effected his escape in a clean shirt lent him
by Mr. Serjeant LUDLOW. The disguise was most effec-
rual, and we are assured that the Learned Recorder could
nut have been recognised by his oldest acquaintance.
Fortunately it did not preserve its entire parity during the
journey, or he might ha►e found a difficulty in establishing
his personal identity to the satisfaction of his own do-
snesties on reaching home.
The tradesmen of North Shields are, we are
informed, now likely to succeed in establishing a new gas
company; at any rate they have obliged the old establish-
ment to lower the price of gas. They cannot but he
commended, when it is remembered that the old concern
has paid always upwards of 12 per sest..— Tyne Mercury.
