SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
WATSON AND ANOTIIER V. STRINGER.
This was an action for goads sold. The plaintiffs are
ribbon-manufacturers, &c., in the City, and the defendant
is a linendraper at Hull. The amount claimed was 9/.
The defendant having suffered judgment to go by de-
fault, it was therefore only necessary to prove the de-
livery of the goods as directed by the defendant. It was
proved that the principal part had been delivered to the
" boots" at the hotel where defendant lodged.
The SECONDARY said that was sufficient delivery.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

PALACE COURT.-(THIS DAY,)
(Before Mr. CORRIE.)
SEYSELL AND ANOTHER V. HOLM.
This was a summons under the Small Debts Act, and
the case was adjourned until this day, for the attendance
of one of the officers of the Borough Court of Requests,
named Clarke, who had been summoned under the fol-
lowingcircumstances:—

On the summons being called on,
Mr. Aims, who appeared for the plaintiff's, said the
defendant asserted that she had paid the money to elle
of the officers of the Borough Court of Requests, who
held an execution against her goods. He (Mr. Atkins)
had seen Clarke, and had no doubt that what defendant
said was correct, and that if the matter were inquired
into, it would be found it had been a continual practice
in those Courts to receive money, and make returns to
the executions of no effects.

The Learned JUDGE asked whether the High Bailiff
was not answerable? and was told that the officers acted
also as agents.
The defendant said the officer told her she could not
prove the payment to him.
The Learned JUDGE said, it was a most shameful
transaction, aitcl he would issue a summons for Clarke's
appearance, and the plaintiffs ought to see that the
matter was carried out.

Mr. ATKINS now stated that ho had served Clarke,
who, however, was not in attendance ; he had sent his
assistant with 255., a part of the money, and a promise to
pay the remainder.
The Learned JUDGE said it was a very shameful case,
and if he ever heard of another like it, he would have
a statement of facts drawn up and submitted to the pro-
per authorities.
