OXFORD AND 131.RTOILLY JUNCTION RAILWAY.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of 13,0001.
on a scrip transaction in the shares of the Buckinghamshire
and the Oxford and Bletchley Junction Railway.
It appeared that in the course of last year the defendant
advanced money to the plaintiff, a broker, to purchase 500
shares in the above railway c.unpany. The plaintiff pro-
cured the shares and sold them to the defendant, but it was
subsequently discovered that the shares so sold were forged
scrip; the result was, the plaintiff to complete his engage•
ment, had to purchase for the defendant 500 good shares at
aft increased price. The defendant refused to make good
the difference, and the present action was in consequence
brought. 4784 had been paid into court by the defendant
as a satisfaction of the claim.

After the case bad been shortly gone into, at the sugges-
tion of the Learned Judge the matter was agreed to be
made a special case. _

with s-Neral market-girls; it being her first visit to this
lemn, and there being no reason for her visit. On her way
