LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 26
NOTTIDGE V. RIPLEY AND ANOTHER.

1/4Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
In this case, after the conclusion of Mr. Cockburn 's
speech, the Lord Chief Baron summed up, and the jury,
after deliberating, found a verdict for the plaintiff for
501., coupling it with an opinion that no malice against
the defendants bad been proved with respect to the
course they took in confining the plaintiff in the lunatic
asylum.
Whilst the jury was absent considering their verdict
another jury was sworn in a second case of
NOTTIDGE V. RIPLEY.
This was an action by and against the same parties as
in the case already reported.
Miss Nottidge in this case brought an action against
her brother-in-law, Mr. Ripley, to recover back
3591 ss. 91, the amount of dividends received by the
defendant from money standing in the plaintiff's name,
under a power of attorney, whilst the plaintiff was con-
fined in Dr. Stillwell's lunatic asylum at Hillingdon.
The defendant admitted the receipt of the plaintiffs divi-
dends, but pleaded that he had paid away the sum re-
ceived on the plaintiff's account.
The counsel on both sides were the same as in the for-
mer case, and it was mutually agreed that the facts de-
posed to in evidence in that case should be taken as
proved in the present case.
The question was said to resolve itself into a matter of
law, namely, whether payments made on behalf of the
plaintiff whilst she was in confinement could be said to
be payments made on her account, and the subject of a
legal set-off.
It was agreed that a verdict should be taken for the
plaintiff for the full sum claimed, subject to an appli-
cation to the court to enter a verdict for the defendant,
or a non-suit, if the court should be of opinion that the
plaintiff could not maintain her claim.
A verdict was accordingly taken for the plaintiff.
Damages, Mt. without any evidence being adduced at
either side.
