QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
IN RE MRS. CUMMING.
_ _ -

Mr. COCKBURN moved fora rule to show cause
why certain deeds in the hands of the Master should
not be delivered up to Mrs. Cumming, whose case
had been several times before the public in connexion
with the case of Cumming v. Hicks. A commis-
sion of lunacy was issued against Mrs. Cumming, but
after considerable proceedings had taken place an
arrangement was come to between Mrs. Cumming
and those by whom it had been issued. After that
arrangement certain deeds were handed over to
Messrs. Hicks and Cooper. Subsequently Mrs. Cum-
ming became dissatisfied with.the arrangement, having
been advised that it was illegal, and the attorneys at
her request furnished with a list of the deeds; but
two were omitted, which were subsequently handed
over to the Master.—Rule granted.

WATSON V. LORD CHARLEMONT, LORD CLAUDi
HAMILTON, SIR WILLIAM YOUNG, AND OTHERS.
This was an action to recover from the defendants,
the managing committee of the Newry, Enniskillen,
and Armagh Railway, the amount of deposit paid by
the plaintiff on several shares which had been allotted
to him in the line. He contended that he had been
induced to do so through a prospectus published in
the newspapers, which was untrue, and that, there-
fore, having been induced to become a shareholder by
statements inconsistent with truth, he was entitled to
a return of the amount claimed.

The jury gave him a verdict.
Mr. CHAMBERS, Q.C., now moved for a rule, calling
upon the plaintiff to show why there should not
be a new trial on the ground of the verdict
being inconsistent with the facts, and on account of
misdirection by the Learned Judge who tried thit
case. The Learned Counsel contended that the di'
rectors of a company being nominated by the share-
holders, and empowered by them to spend their
money as they might deem advisable a shareholder
could not recover all he had paid unless it had been
obtained from him through fraud, which he held was
not so in this case. The misdirection consisted in
the Learned Judge not laying down this as the law
to the jury; and tie evidence, he contended further,
did not prove that all the defendants had taken an
active part in the undertaking.
The COURT granted a rule en the ground of alleged
misdirection, but not with respect to the verdict
being against evidence, the facts, they considered,
having been proved.—Application granted.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN RE HER.

This insolvent was described as of Child's-place,
Temple Bar, gentleman, and to-day was appointed
for the adjourned interim order. The case had been
adjourned from time to time, partly, in consequence
of the illness of the insolvent, and partly to effect
a composition. His debts were about 8,000/. Debts
good and doubtful, 1460/.; property, 1541. His
liabilities were, principally, as alleged provisional
committeeman of the Plymouth and North Corn-
wall Railfray to the extent of 5,5001., and 5101. to
Messrs. Lewis and Lowe, advertising agents, and a
great portion of the remainder for shares in the
Madrid and Valentia and Worcester, Tenham, and
Ludlow Railway, and scrip in other companies. A
further adjournment took place by consent.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS. DAY.)
(Before Mr. Undersheriff BURCHELL.)
SMITH AND ANOTHER v. ROSE. '
The plaintiff in this action is a cheesemonger ; the
defendant is a major in the Royal Horse Guards.
The action was brought to recover compensation for
injuries sustained by plaintiff's wife in consequence
,ot being thrown out of a gig by the negligence and
in3proper conduct of the defendant.
Mr. THOMAS stated the case, from which it ap-
peared that on the 29th of June last, plaintiff, who
resides In Marchmont-street, Westminster, was pass-
ing over Vauxhall-bridge with his wife in a gig,
when they were overtaken by defendant in another
vehicle, driven at the rate of about twelve miles an
hour in order to arrive at the South-Western Railway
in time for the train. Just as they were passing the
toll gate on the Surrey side a collision took place
by which plaintiff and his wife were thrown out.
An action had been brought to recover da-
mages for injuries sustained by the plaintiff, bet
the jury were directed by the Learned Undersherir
that they would not, under that action, take into
consideration the injuries sustained by the wife.
These, the Learned Counsel said, were of a much
more serious character than those sustained by the
plaintiff, and as the defendant had suffered judgment
to go by default, he admitted his liability. Consi-
dering the nature of the injuries, Mr. Smith having
been laid up for thirteen weeks, from a severe wound
on the forehead, the loss of six teeth, a dislocation of
both her wrists, and other injuries, he had no doubt
th e jury would give a verdict for the full amount
chlioied, 3001., without reference to the damages (80/.)
given on the former trial.
Mr. EDWIN JAMES said he would take the evidence
as to the .I.ccident as it stood on the sheriff's notes
previous trial.
preferred having the evidence given,

THOMAS the'
and the toll-collesrlor was called, who proved the facts
as stated as to the collision.
Mr. Harrison, a surgeon, was called, and proved
the nature of the injuries. He considered that she
would never be in perfect health again.
Mr. JAMES addressed the jury for the defendant,
and the jury, after a short consultation, gave a verdict
for 301.
