COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

ROGERS AND ANOTHER V. NOWELL.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
The declaration alleged that the defendants put a
mark—v. 1.., a crown, and the name J. Rogers and
Sons—upon penknives of an inferior description ma-
nufactured by them, for the purpose of falsely repre-
senting them as those of the plaintiffs, and that they
were thereby hindered and deprived of disposing of a
large number of knives. The Learned Counsel then
submitted that it was shown at the trial, that,
instead of losing by the act of the defend-
ants, the plaintiffs' business had greatly increased,
and that the penknives in question were not at all
inferior to those made by the plaintiffs. Then with
regard to the summing up, the Learned Judge laid it
down as a general principle, and as the only principle
of law involved in the case, that no man had a right
to sell his own goods under the false repre-
sentation that they were the goods of an-
other, and that such other person had a right
of action against the party. Air. Chambers then
stated that the mere false representation that the
goods belonged to another party would not sustain
an action, without an intention to defraud, and some
proof being given that damage had resulted there-
from.

The arguments of the Learned Counsel occupied
the Court the whole afternoon, at the conclusion of
which

The CHIEF JUSTICE said it appeared to him that
there was no ground to justify the Court in granting
the rule. The action arose out of very ordinary cir-
cumstances, and he thought it would be a reproach to
our law if the verdict was not sustainable. The real
question was whether the law would protect a man
from having goods sold as made by him, when in
truth they were not made by him. He, therefore,
with regard to all the points urged, viz., the summing
up, the damages, and the arrest of judgment, was of
opinion that nothing had been sustained by the learned
counsel to entitle the court to grant the rule.
The other judges concurred in the above opinion.
Rule accordingly refused.
The court did not adjourn until a quarter past five
o'clock.
