PARK V. OYLBY.

Mr. LEE said the easeVas-bein-Ten a husband, the plain-
,who sued in formd pauperis, and his wife, who was pos-
eased of considerable property. The details that would have
to be disclosed were of the most painful character, and on
that account he made a proposal before at the bar with a
view to closing the suit, :on which he had been consulted
sat very lately, but he was met with defiance. After
%gain considering the character of the disclosures that would
have to be made, and the little hope there was of obtaining
a decree favourable to his client, he had unwillingly deter-
mined to decline opening the case in consideration of the
parties concerned on the other side, and in this his coadjutor
in the cause agreed with him.—The Bill therefore was dis-
missed.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, April 24.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Baron Abuzz-son.)
itOBINSON V. GLASS.
This was an action brought to recover the amount of a bill
furnished by the plaintiff to the deibudant, for clothes. The
defence set up was, that the defendant's father was always
in the habit of paying these bills. The father had become
a bankrupt in 1844, and the son sought to shield himself
under that bankruptcy from payment of the hill ; it having, how-
ever, appeared in evidence that the father had, previous to 1844,
warned Robinson not to furnish certain clothes to his son, assuring him
that he would not pay for such, if they were; and it also having ap-
peared that the son, who had before been supported by his father,
had been appointed to a Government situation,
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount sought,
391.85., with costs.

RENTI4 V. WEBS.
Mr. Jervis and Mr. Hayes appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Chambers and Mr. James for defendant.

This was what is technically called "a miming down case," and
the action was brought to recover the amount of damages sustained
by the plaintiff, on the 3d of January last, by having a valuable
horse killed, his gig broken, and his shou:der dislocated, by the colli-
sion of a " tilted cart," the property of.the defendant.
It appeared..from the evidence of the plaintiff, that as he was re-
turning home, about five o'clock in the evening, to his residence in
Camberwell, keeping his own side of the road, and going at an easy
pace of four or five miles an hour, his horse was struck- by
the shaft of the cart belonging to the defendant, which
had been coming in an opposite direction. -About a foot
of the✓ shaft entered, into the, breast of the animal, which
immediately died of the injury. t, The plaintiff was thrown'out of the
gig, and his shoulder• had suffered a serious injury, aid his
allele was so much bruised, that it was sworn he would never
after recover the perfect. use of it again. The horse was
valued at 'from 46/. .to 501. The plaintiff was a commission
agent, jand the defendant was an. „egg merchant, residing
in the neighbourhood ofiLambetti, who employed the tilted cart-in
the transmission of his goods, and it was in the care 'of one of :his
servants when the accident- occurred. The case-forsthe defence was
that the plaintiff was-not on hissown side of the---road, andithat im-
mediately after the accident, he admitted the same, and that it was
an inevitable occurrence. •

Evidence was then given that the 'testimony of one of the wit-
nesses was at variance with a previous statement made by him at the
time of the accident.

Baron ALDERaoN • then charged the jury, who, after some consi-
deration, returned a verdict for the defendant;
The Court adjourned at half- past four o'clock.

SALVAGE.-THE AMERICAN.

In this case, the American, of 600—tons, with a valuable
cargo, ran on the Ridge Sand on the Ist of January, while
on the voyage from London to New York, the latter being
her homeward port. She had met previously with most tem-
pestuous weather. The salvors, who were Deal boatmen,
were out to aid vessels in distress, and at daylight saw the
ship with a signal flying for a pilot and assistance, and was
soon boarded by the salvors, and got off with little damage.
The value of the ship and cargo was admitted at 6,0001.
For the services rendered a tender of 100/. was made and re-
fused.
Dr. Phillimore and Dr. Harding appeared for the salvors,
and contended that the tender of 100/. was insufficient for
the services rendered.
Dr. Addams and Dr. Robertson, for the owners, submitted
that the tender, under the circumstances, was most ample.
Dr. Lusnruarobr said this, an American vessel, with a
valuable cargo, left London for New York on the 12th of
December last. The weather was most unfavourable and
tempestuous, and after beating about, she got, in the middle
of the night, upon the shoal, having been exposed to great
danger and difficulties for six or seven days. It was, in-
deed, a most providential mercy that she had dragged over
the shoal. The salvors went out in their lugger from Deal,
in the praiseworthy object of rendering assistance to vessels
in distress. She was descried at daylight and boarded, sig-
nals for a pilot and assistance having been raised. The Court,
after going over the facts of the case, held the tender of
1001. insufficient, and awarded 160/. to the salvors,' with
costs.
