THE ALBERT LIFE ASSURANCE COSIPA/VT. —An apP"
cation has been made at the Vice-Chancellor's Chamber*
on behalf of Mr. Partridge, a solicitor, in the countrfl
who asked leave to proceed with a suit against tof
Albert Insurance Company, as the only means JD,
obtaining redress, in respect of 400 shares, whllis
he alleged he had been induced to take up
the said company by misrepresentation on the jle
of the directors. It was contended on the part 01 tlt
solicitors to the liquidators of the Albert Company that
now had no corporate existence, and no comet
seal. There was no such company as the Albche
at all—it had another name. 'rile attention of t
„p
chief clerk was drawn to previous cases that have be'
dealt with, one of which was that of Overend
and Co. The impression of Mr. Bloka,m, the chief derrs:

Eventually the summons was adjourned to another cic&l.

AN UNSATISFACTORY JURY. —At the . ..AL L,
Assizes, an action to recover damages from the l‘lett°-
politan Board of Works was heard before the Lord Chsef
Justice and a special jury. The plaintiff was a Wid°lo
residing at Deptford, and was injured by an oP°O
sewer in the street. The defence was tbil-
the district board was answerable for the 'leggence in question. The jury very soon became
patient, and announced that they had made up the 0
minds. The Lord Chief Justice begged them to take 011
for consideration, as the case could not be decided hastily'
However they held to their opinion, and returned a sreu;
diet for the plaintiff for £350, being £5O in excess of
damages claimed. The Chief Justice said he sh°"'t
certainly report his entire dissatisfaction with the verdic
and he ordered a fresh jury into the box.
