LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 3.
Th KNOCKER V. CURLING.
sum is was an action of debt, brought to recover the
of 2181. for work and labour done as an attorney-
at-law. 'The plaintiff was a solicitor, residing
at Dover,
and the defendant a solicitor in town. In 1845 the
defendant employed the plaintiff to prepare some books
of reference for the Kentish Coast Railway Company,
and the present action was instituted to recover com-
pensation in respect of these services.
For the defence it was proved that the defendant, in
employing the plaintiff, merely
acted as the agent of the
railway company, and the jury returned a verdict for
the defendant.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. S.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL,
and a Special Jury.)
BUSH V. SIR W. GOSSETT AND OTRERS.
The plaintiff in this action is an engineer residing at
Kentish Town, and he sought to recover the sum of
4111. 2s. from the defendants, for work ani labour
alleged to have been done, and money paid at their
request.

It appeared that Sir William Gossett and other gen-
tlemen of great respectability formed themselves into
a company in 1840, for the purpose
of carrying out some
improvement in the manufacture of iron, and that the
company was called the Rolling and Compressing- Iron
Company. The plaintiff was engaged by them
to aid the company in. procuring an Act of
Parliment, which was obtained In May, y 1841,
and hopes were held out to him that he would afterwards'
be engaged at a considerable salary. His salary was
afterwards fixed at 2501. a year, but at the end of 1841
he was told that his services would b. e no longer re-
quired. He then brought ari action against the secretary
of the company, who was made the responsible officer
under the Act for the above amount ; but Lord
Denman, before whom it was tried, held that the secre-
tary was only responsible fcr what became due after the
passing of the Act, and his decision was subsequently
confirmed by the full Court- The plaintiff now brought
the present action.
The jury found a verdict fol. the plaintiff—Damages 2001.

COURT OF EXC HEQUER, Dec. 3.
(Sittings in Nisi Prius, before tho LORD CHIRP BARON
and Comm on Juries.)
'LEWIS V. BIN.I'SON, CLERK.
This was an action upon a. bill of exchange to recover
the sum of 1001. with intere st.
The defence set up was, that the defendant had re-
ceived no consideration for the bill, and that it had been
obtained from him through .fraud and covin.
It appeared that the defendant was a clergyman, re-
siding at Clifton, near Bristol, and had made application
to some advertising money 'lenders, to whom he enclosed
two acceptances, upon one of which the present action
was brought.
The jury, after a short deliberation, stated that they
felt reluctantly compelled to give the verdict for the
plaintiff.
