COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

:Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice Willes and
a Common Jury.)
PATTERSON V. PEATHERSTONHOUGH.

The plaintiff in this action is a brewer, and sought to
recover 2001. from the defendant, who is also of the
same trade. It appeared that in 1852 the plaintiff en-
tered the defendant's employ as a brewer, &c., and to
superintend his brewery, at a salary of '2/. per week,
depositing in their j nut name-, 2001. in a bank as
security for his integrity. In October, 1855, the plain-
tiff left the defendant, set led his accounts, and handed
aver to him 591. 2s. 103. the balance, and then asked for
the defendant's signature to the joint deposit-note
to draw the 2001., but the defendant made some
excuses and put the plaintiff off. In October, 1855, the
defendant recommended the plaintiff to Mr. Payne,
hrewer, of Del by, and the plaintiff wanting his money
pressed the defendant to sign the note. The defendant

however, declined to sign it, and in March, 1856,
wrote a le:Err to the plaintiff, in which he charged him
with gross mismanagement (luring the time he was in
his employ, and stating al•o that he had discovered
deficiencies and overcharges in the plaintiff's accounts
amounting to 551. 10s., and that on his paying him that
amount he would sign the deport note for the repay.
went of the 2001.
The case was referred.

CITY SHERIFF'S COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
HALL V. BURGESS.

THE EVILS OF LOAN SOCIETIES.—This was an action
to r, oeive a balance due on a promiEwory note for money
let by a loan society.
Defendant said that, although be was the borrower of
the money, it was handed over to the surety, whom the
society ought to have sued.

His Honour said this was part of a system of fraud on
the part of loan societies ; there was every inducement
and temptation held out to induce people to borrow, no
matter who, and that led people to take all advantages.
Societies held out prospects of wonderful advantages.
L•,an '
societies and great advantages was advertised in
every way and pasted on the walls, and, in fact, were as
great evils as gin palaces.

Plaintiff said that he did not know who the money
was for.

His Honour—You all know very well that the surety
in one society is the borrower at another, but, after ail,
the loan societies take care of themselves.
Au order was made for payment at U. a month.
GOODWIN V. PLANA.GAN.
TRESPASS.—This was an act►on for illegally breaking
and entering plaintiff's apartment, seizing her goods
and expelling the plaintiff.

Mr Buchanan stated the case for the plaintiff, who is
a poer woman, residing in Three Tun.court, Red-cross-
street, and on the 12th of September the defendant,
who was the landlord, got into the place and took her
goods, and on going afterwards he knocked her down.
He was charged with the assault, but the alderman
advised the parties to settle the debt, defendant giving
up rent which he claimed, and also the goods; but having
failed to do so, plaintiff now sought to recover damages.
Mr. Buchanan said that it appeared to him to be
such a bard and cruel case, and the woman was so des
titute, her husband being at sea, that he had taken the
case in hand, and had paid the fees.
His Honour said he could not go into the question of
assault, as that had already been bef,,re a magistrate,
and he thought now that it would be better that some
arrangement should be come to.
After some discussion it was agreed that no rent
should be claimed, that the goods should be given up,
and defendant pa) 30. i. as damages.
Mr. Davie', for defendant, said that this should be
carried into effect, and not be set aside as the previous
one had bee's.

Hic honour said it was the order of the Court.
