LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

VICE-CLIANCERY.
BOYLE V. ROBINSON.

Vice-Chancellor Malins delivered judgment to-
day in this case. The object of the suit was to com-
pel defendant Robinson, who is an auctioneer,
carrying on business in Old Bond-street, to deliver
up to him an acceptance of his (plaintiff's) for
£5OO. In August, 1868, two other parties who
were co-defendants in the suit were desirous of
purchasing a business, and the plantiff advanced
them £3OO, and subsequently an acceptance for
£5OO for carrying out that specific purpose. This
acceptance had been given to one of these named
Gostrick, who promised not to raise on it more than
250. The plaintiff applied to Gostrick for the
money advanced, and the acceptance which Gostrick
promised to give him on receiving securities of his
which the pLiutiff held. Not yet being able to ob-
tain the bill, the plaintiff applied to the Court for
an injunction to restrain the defendant Robinson
from using the bill, and his honour had granted
it two days before the bill came to maturity.
Ultimately Gostrick paid the plaintiff £3OO, and
received his securities, but the plaintiff could not
get the bill. His Honour said that in the excited
state of the plaintiff, caused by his exasperation at
the conduct of Gostrick, it was most unlikely that
he did not acquaint Robinson with the equity of the
bill, and that Robinson had acted in a manner to
deceive him. Robinson, must give up the accept-
ance, that he should pay the costs of the suit, and
that the money paid into court by the plaintiff
should be returned to him.

FOREIGN NOTES.
PEACE IN NEW ZEALAND,

The' Taranaki Herald, in its summary for the Decembe
Mail, gives particulars, from Waikato, of Mr. M`Lean's
conference with the Maori King party relative to the
preliminaries of peace. Mr. McLean was invited to meet
the King party, a most unusual proceeding on the part of
the Maories. The Defence Minister did not expect to
effect much at the first interview, as natives always like
to take time for consideration. However, the results were
more favourable than he anticipated. Mr. McLean only
arrived at Alexandra on November Bth, and two
days later was enabled to send the following telegram to
the governor :

_
Hamilton, 1 p.m., Nov. 10.
Your Excellency will be glad to hear that preliminary
terms of peace have been concluded yesterday, with Rewi
and Manuwhiri, who undertake to 00-operate with the
Government in restoring order and tranquillity throughout
the island.

Mr. M`Lean opened the proceedings, and was warmly re-
ceived by the natives, with whom Ile has great influence
from long personal acquaintance with their chiefs.
Kewi, of the Ngatimaniapoto, was the chief native
speaker, and he expressed a strong desire that fighting
should end. To this the Defence Minister agreed, on con-
dition that the King party should set the example by
stopping v.ll fighting within that part of the country, and
that all murder should be stopped. After a discussion,
these terms were agreed to, the chiefs undertaking to
withhold all assistance and encouragement from natives in
arms against the Government. The meeting is thought
likely to produce very good results. t
