another solicitor was appointed to act with the plaintiff, and
it also appeared that the managing committee was appointed
on that day, but their names did not appear.
Mr. Wonoswoani now moved to have the verdict entered
for the plaintiff, and also for a rule to increase the verdict to
88/. 17s. Bd., that amount of professional labour by the plain-
tiff having been proved, commencing with the appointment
of the committee on the 13th of December, to the end ofJely,
1846, when it was contended that the plaintiff ceased to be
the solicitor of the company. Mr. Justice Erie having consi-
dered that the committee was appointed on the Gth of Ja-
nuary, directed the. jury accordingly. The Learned
Counsel then read an affidavit, showing that obstructions had
been thrown in the way of the plaintiff's obtaining the
minute-book and other papers for the purpose of proving
his case.

The Court granted a rule on the affidavits, but deferred
their decision on the other points, they having intimated
that they could not increase the damages to the amount
sought.

SECONDAttIEs'—(THIS DAY.)
THE QUEEN V. LADY FRANCS TWYSDE'N.
This was an inquiry to ascertain of what property the de-
fendant was possessed of within the bailiwick of the city of
Lordon, under proceedings in outlawry, defendant having
been " waived" or otttlawed.

Evidence was adduced to show that defendant is entitled,
under a marriage settlement, to the interestof 13,649/. 14. 3d.
Three per Cent. Consols, but which was 'now.paid over by
the trustees to the United Kingdom Life Assvance Com-
pany, who had advanced money to Lady Twysden, by way
of annuity. The July dividend was paid over to the com-
pany, on the 3d of December. Defendant was also -entitled
to a sum of money in the Three per Cents. Reduced, and an
interest in a mortgage for 6,0001.
Mr. CAREW, the solicitor to defendant said, that he should
be happy to assist in forwarding the inquiry, but as the legal
adviser of Lady Twysden, he felt great difficulty in answering
any questions.
Mr. J. K. SMITHIES, who appeared on behalf of the Crown,
said no questions would be asked as to. any communications
between him and his client.

OARBW said that he received dividends in last
on the 2,000/. or 3,0004, but did not know the exact amount.
Lady Twysden received interest during her life on the mort-
gage.
The Learned SECONDARY said it would be better to adjourn
the case for more specific evidence. There coulci, however, be
no doubt as to the interest under the settlement.
The jury, under the direction of the Learned SECONDARY,
returned a verdict as to the interest on that sum, the other
matters standing open for further inquiry.

PARKINS AND ANOTIIhR V. NOON.

This was an action to recover the sum of 6!. 12s. 71Ad. for
goods. Plaintiffs are cutlers at Sheffield, and defendant is a
tradesman in the city. The amount was not disputed, the
only question being whether the term of credit had expired
under the custom of the trade, which was generally three
months credit and a three months bill, but it was not an ab-
solute custom to take a bill, and three months having ex-
pired.
The jury found for the plaintiff.
