DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.—The Royal Dublin
Society's Cattle Show was held this day. Stock ex-

vissing in appearance those shown at any previous
exhibition.

There was a further improvement in the tone of
our corn market to-day. Wheat was 6d. to is., bar-
ley and oats 3d. to 6d. dearer ; Indian corn fully 23.
to 2s. 6d. dearer, and a largo demand for the county ;
white wheat, 265. to 275. ; red wheat, 225. to
265.; barley, 13s. to 17s. 6d.; oats, 103. 6d. to 181.; oat-
meal, per cwt., I Is. to 135.; second flour, 14s. to 18s.;
Indian corn, 32a. to 36;.; Indian corn meal, 9s. to 10s.
The weather has been extremely un,easonable bore;
in fact, we are in the midst of a second winter. This
forenoon there was a sheep fall of snow, which recom-
menced at three Ex., and is now falling. The cold is
intense.

THE JOINT-STOCK WINDING UP ACT-THE L,,NDON
AND MANCHESTER DIRECT INDEPENDENT RAILWAY

COMPANY (REMINGMN'S LINE).—JUDGMENT.
The LORD CIIANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this
case, which came before him a few days since upon appeal
from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, dis-
missing a petition with costs, which had been presented
under the Winding-up Act for the dissolution of the com-
pany. His Lordship said that the principal ques-
tion in the case was whether the company came
within the meaning of the Winding-up Act, and he
was clearly of opinion the company came within the mean-
ing of the Act, and the prayer of the petition must therefore
be granted. The result of this decision is to reverse the
judgment of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce.

improper payment by them of a bill for 42%. Ws., which he
(the plaintiff) had accepted. It was an action brought by a
customer against his banker. It appeared the t the bill was made
payable at the bank, in whose hands he had but 21/. 4s , and as
he had given no notice of dishonour, and as the bank be-
lieved the plaintiff had a sufficient sum iu their hands to meet
the bill it was paid After it had been paid a clerk from the
bank called upon the plaintiff to receive instructions with
respect to the bill. lie told him not to pay it—it was an ac-
commodation
bill, and it was to his interest that the drawer
should become a bankrupt. The clerk did not say it had been
paid,out

t
sitting at London, directed a verdict for the defendants.
Mr. CrtowDEß now moved for a rule to show cause why
the verdict should not be set aside, on the ground that the
defendant had no authority to pay the bill; indeed it was
most important to the plaintiff that it should not be paid.
lie held that no banker ought to pay a bill unless authority
was distinctly given by the customer to do so. Indeed
the defendants bad stepped out of their way, as they had
only a small fund in their hands ; and if they
chose to advance the money, they did so upon their own re-
sponsibility and at their own risk.
The COLTILT was of opinion that the plaintiff bad been
guilty of great negligence in not giving the defendants notice
that he wished the bill to be dishonoured. The making of
the bill payable at the bank was a clear authority for its
payment. It was a common practice for bankers to pay the
cheques of creditable parties when their accounts were over-
drawn of being injured. If he was injured,
should complain
drawn • and it seemed strange that a parson thus accommo-
datedit was his own fault.
Rule refused.

(Before Mr. Secondary Parr= )
SURSIDGE V. ELLIS.
This was an action to recvver the sum of 191. 15s. on a bill
of exchange, and for goods sold and delivered.
The defendant put in pleas denying the acceptance, and
also that he was indebted, but no evidence was given in
support of the pleas ; but the defendant's attorney was pre-
sent to watch the proceedings,. p
in order to aply to the Court
above to deprive the plaintiff of costs, the debt being
under 291.
The Learned SECONDARY said he had nothing to do with
that question.
A verdict was then given for the amount claimed.
This was the only cause on the list.
