ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
This being the day for the hearing of consent peti•
tions, the whole morning was occupied with cases of no
the least general interest.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
His Honour was occupied during the day hearing
cause petitions of no interest.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. WIGRAM.)
DENMAN V. BOYLE.

This was an application to the Court for an injunctio❑
to restrain the defendant from taking certain proceed-
ings at common law, until it was ascertained what was
due upon an unsettled partnership account.
Plaintiff and defendant had been for some years en-
gaged in the wine trade, but owing to certain misunder-
standings they became estranged from each other with-
out any formal separaton. By the terms of their agree-
ment they were prohibited from a division of the profits
for three years, which for that space of time was to be
placed as capital to the cedit of the general
firm, and the agreement not contemplating a separation.
The defendant held acceptances of plaintiff, which had
bee❑ passed in the way of business, and on these he had
intimated his intention of proceeding. The prayer of
the petition then was, that an injuction should be issued,
and that he be restrained from proceeding, thus com-
pelling him to seek redress, if he was required, by a bill
in equity.

Die Court referred the matter to the Master, in order
to examine and report upon the exact nature of the case.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY

(Sittings in Banco.)

EXETER AND PLYMOUTH RAILWAY. -WOOLMER AND

OTHERS V. TOBY.

The facts of this important case will, no doubt, be
within the recollection of the readers of The Sun. An
application was made to the Court on behalf of the de-
fendant for a rule calling upon the plaintiffs to show
cause why a nonsuit should not be entered, on the
ground of non-liability. The plaintiffs were directors of
a projected railway, called the Exeter and Plymouth,
and they obtained a verdict against the defendant, com-
pelling him to pay the deposits upon a quantity of shares
in the company, which had been allotted to him in
accordance with his application to that effect.
Lord DENMAN brie fly delivered the judgment of
the Court. He said it bad been contended, on
the part of the defendant, that between the
time of his making the application for the shares
and: the allotment of them, several names were
withdrawn from the list of provisional committee-
men, and others added, which materially altered
his opinion of the undertaking, and, upon that ground,
that he had either the option of refusing or accepting
the allotment which he had sought. The Court, looking
at the circumstances under which the allotment was
made, considered that no contract had been proved
between the plaintiffs and defendants, and were of opi-
nion that a nonsuit ought to be entered, as sought by
the defendant.

Nonsuit entered accordingly, and rule made absolute.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice WiGuTatAN.)
The motions heard in this court possessed no public
interest.

EXCHEQUER.-( THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
WOOLEY V. STEINITZ.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of
211. 19s. 6d., alleged to be due to theplaintiff for services
rendered as traveller to the defendant. At the trial the
verdict was entered for the defendant, the case not goin.,
to the jury for want of evidence, with liberty to the
plaintiff to move to enter the same for the plaintiff for
the amount claimed, should the Court be of opinion that
there was evidence to go to the jury. A rule nisi was,
obtained in the last term by Mr. Cleasby, on the ground
that the plaintiff was engaged at an annual salary,
and was entitled, according to general usage,
to recover the amount of a quarter's salary,
although he had been discharged by his employer before
the expiration of that period, and that there was evi-
dence to go to the jury.
Mr. RILEY showed cause against the rule.
Mr. CLEASBY was heard in support thereof.
The COURT decided that the rule ought to be dis-
charged upon a nonsuit being entered.
The Court rose at one o'clock, to enable the Learned
Barons to meet the other Judges in the Exchequer
Chamber, for the purpose of hearing the arguments in
the Crown causes reserved on the circuits in the last
assizes.
