QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Just ce ERLE and

Common Juries.)
KEANE V. JAMES.

This was an action to recover the amount of a promis-
sory note for 4851., with 51. per cent. interest. The
defendant pleaded that he did not make the note.
Witnesses proved that the defendant signed the note
on the 9th of April, 1845. at Garner's brewe,ry, Gray's
Inn lane, the transaction having rekrettee to the trans-
r of a public-house ; whilst, on the 0111, r hand, two
witnesses, on of whom had taught thi. ;I.ftndant to
write, stated that they did not believe the defendant's
name to be in his handwriting.
The jury. however, found for the plaintiff for the sum
of 570 L, principal and merest.
PALMER V. CASTALLANI.
Thl4 was an action 'o recover the amn tint of a bill of
exchange for 361, purporting to have been accepted by
the defendant. The defendant pleaded that be did not
accept the bill, and that ho did not auth,rise any one to
accept it. It appeared that the defendant's wife was in
the habit of transacting her husband's business, in the
course of which she had often to sign her husband's
name. This, it appeared, was one of those transac-
tions.- Two of the defendant's brother's swore that the
signature was in the handwriting of the brother, whilst
other witnesses swore as positively that the defendant
'wrote a free, bold hand, and that the signature was
not his.

Mr. Prentice conducted the case of the plaintiff, and
Mr. Miller that of the defendant.
Mr. P4ENTICS addressed the jury, and urged that
they could not for a moment believe that the defendant
did not give his wife his full and entire consent
to accept the bill in his name. They could not affirm
his plea without imputing perjury to the brother of the
defendant, and stamping the defendant's wife, with whom
he was living in the ordinary relations of married life,
as a forger.
Mr. Justice ERLE said, if the jury believed the de-
fendant accepted the bill, or that his wife accepted it by
his consent, they must find for the plaintiff. If they
thought he did not accept it, nor authorised any one to
do so, then they must find for the defendant.
The jury found for the plaintiff for the amount
claimed.

FINDING OF A BODY IN THB THAMES.—This fore-
noon some fishermen found the body of a woman floating
off "Hungerford-market, which they brought ashore, and
had conveyed to the dead-house of St. Martin's parish.
The body is that of a stout, m;ddle-aged woman, appa-
rently of dark complexion, as nearly as could be ascer-
tained from its discoloured and bloated state. She was
dressed in a figured black cotton gown, and the body
appeared to have been in the water for some time.
