THIS DAY.)
;he Exchequer Chamber
ions.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved in this case for a
rule calling upon the defendant to show cause why the
order to have this case tried by a special jury
should not be set aside and a fresh order made.
The cause was appointed to be tried before the
Lord Chief Baron, and it appeared that upon
calling the special jurors only five of them
were present, and the defendant would not consent to
have the case tried by that number. It was the
usual custom in such cases that upon a fresh appoint-
ment being made for the trial, the same special jurors
who were previously summoned should constitute
the jury, but since the period of their being first sum-
moned it had been ascertained that several of them
bad died, and some were excused upon various
grounds. Under these circumstances, th,refore, it
was necessary that the original rule should be set
aside, and a fresh order made by the Court upon the
subject.—Rule greited.

WALLER C. BISHOP.

This was an action tried before the Lord Chief
Baron, at London ; the verdict passed for the plaintiff,
for the sum of 3,9251. 17s. 3d.
Mr. CROWDEIR now moved to set aside the verdict,
pursuant to leave reserved at the trial.
It appeared that the action was brought by the
plaintiff, a stockbroker, to recover the above sum of
money, being the amount of certain shares purchased
by the plaintiff for the defendant in the projected Dutch
Hanoverian Railway, and also for charges on account
of the shares being " held over" for him, that is to
say, the account days, when the purchase should be
completed, were carried over on brokerage and com-
mission, the

rangement was come to by the directors to carry out
their views, whereby each director should employ his
own broker, and make his purchases individually ;
and a resolution was passed by the board, on the 3d
of December, to prevent any of the directors being
bound by the purchases of the other, except
in such cases as should be agreed upon by
the whole body of the directors. The pre-
sent action arose out of purchases of shares in con-
sequence of that arrangement, and the evidence
on the part of the plaintiff consisted chiefly of a
variety of " bought notes," and orders given by a
Mr. Camalho

with the-company. The Learned Counsel now con-

The COURT stated that they were of opinion that the
rule ought to be granted generally, for th reduction
of the damages, or a new trial, with liberty to move
afterwards for arrest of judgment.
