QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICI

and a Common Jury.)
BRADSHAW V. BUNNING.
This was an action of debt brittcYht by the plaintiff,
a
the well-known printer and publisher of Fleet-street, to
recover from the defendant, an attorney
of 1041., for printing the Sentinel newspaper. The Sen-
tinel was started in 1846 by Mr. Jonathan Duncan, for
the purpose of advocating a change in the currency-
.at-law, the SUM
laws ; and after it had been in existence three or four
weeks, the plaintiff was appointed printer. Finding,
however, that Mr. Duncan was exceedingly irregular in
the payment of his accounts, the plaintiff threatened to
abandon the printing of the paper, unless he had some
guarantee that his bills would be more punctually
settled. Shortly after this intimation had been con-
veyed to Mr. Duncan, the detendant called at his office,
and stated that a negotiation was pending between gr.
Duncan and Mr. Luke James Hansard for the sale of
part of the paper. In the meantime the defendant pro-
mised to become responsible for the future amounts, and
upon the strength of that undertaking the plaintiff con-
tinued to print and publish the paper until its disconti-
nuance, when the plaintiff, finding himself minus 1041. in
the printing account, commenced the present action, to
compel the defendant to pay the amount in fulfilment of
his guarantee.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the full
amount claimed.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
FIELD AND ANOTHER V. PILLING.
This was an action to recover the sum of 71. 13s. 4d.
for goods sold.
The plaintiff's solicitor was about to state the case.
when an objection was taken, that, as he was to be a
witness, he could not be allowed to address the jury.
The SOLICITOR said he was in a very difficult posi-
tion, as his counsel had not arrived, and as the case
had been the first, though it stood third on the list.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said the cases bad been called,
and, as the parties were not present, they had been
struck out, according to the rules of the court. A wit-
ness could not be allowed to address the jury—the only
way would be to withdraw the record.
The plaintitl's counsel arriving at the moment, the
case was proceeded with.
The defendant pleaded payment.
The plaintiffs were varnish-makers, at Stratford, and
defendant is a shopkeeper, in Monmouthshire.
To make out the defence, a receipt signed by the
plaintiff Field was put in, but on the other hand it was
contended that Field had given the receipt merely to
defeat the present action, as a dispute existed between
Field and his partner Hardwick, %ho had given instruc-
tions for the action which Field refused to sanction.
The UNDER-SHERIFF, in summingl up, said that s
letter from defendant had been put in dated the 14th ot.
September, 1847, admitting a debt to be due or
31. 19s. 10d., whereas the receipt purported to bear data
3d of September, although therefore the receipt sP.
peared to be for the full amount, it could not ha"
applied to the latter sum.
The jury gave a verdict for 31. 19s. 10d.
The case was not over till nearly two o'clock.
