" Whereas it has been represented to me by the Ac-
countant in Bankruptcy that it is necessary that the
accounts kept by him shall be examined and compared, in
order to settle the same, and adjust them with the books
kept at the Bank of England ; and that it will require a
considerable time to perfect such examination and adjust-
ment ; and it has been further represented to me by the

Accountant in Bankruptcy, for the purposes aforesaid.
" I therefore order, that the books of the said Accoun-

MEADEN V. JOHNSON.
___

This was an action to recover the value of a mare, the
property of the plaintiff.
The plaintiff kept a public-house in Manchester, and the
defendant resided in the same town. The plaintiff had
proposed to raffle the mare in question, and the defendant
intended, it seemed, to be a subscriber, and in consequence
went to the plaintiff's stables, and requested the wife of the
latter to let him have a ride of the mare. Mrs. Meaden
gave him permission, and the defendant got the mare out
of the stable, and mounted her, but he had no sooner got
upon her back than she started off at full gallop towards
St. Anne-square, and in turning one of the corners of the
square she ran her head with great violence against the iron
palisading. She fell instantly, and in a few minutes she
died. It was therefore charged against the defendant that
the death of the animal was owing to his unskilful riding
and management. _

The defendant, in his plea, denied the imputation of un-
skilfulness and improper treatment.—Verdict for the de-
fendant.

BOOTH V. HARROP AND OTHERS.
This was an action to recover damages for an excessive
distress. The plaintiff was a tailor and draper, and dealer
in old clothes and toys, in Glossop, near Stockport, and
rented a house of the defendant Harrop, in 1833, at a
yearly rent of 151., till certain repairs were made accord-
ing to agreement.

—ln the absence of the plaintiff, on the Ist of March last,
immediately on the rent becoming due, a distress was put
into the plaintiff's house, his wife being near her confine-
ment at the time, and not in a good state of health, and
the children it was said were also unwell. One constable
was kept in possession all that night, and on the following
morning other constables came, and the goods were re-
moved to the Tontine Inn, and a portion of them were
afterwards sold. The landlord returned a small balance
which was over the amount of his rent, and such of the
goods as were unsold were also returned. The case for
the plaintiff was that the goods were not appraised by two
appraisers, previous to the sale, as according to law ought
to have been done.

There being no case to inculpate the defendant Harrop
in the proceedings, a verdict was returned in his favour,
but against the oter defendants the Jury gave a verdict of
damages 20/.
