Vie E-Cii A.ties.,'LLOß S UOL RT.—A trifling case of debt
was brought into the C)_unty Court a few days ago
against a member Qf the Un7ersio,
but his honour the
judge, Mr. J. B. Parry, QC., decided, on inspection of
the documents put in for the University—section 140
of the County Courts Act of 9th and 10th Victoria,
c. 95—that it was untitled to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the cause, and therefore dismissed It from his own court.
This being the first instance that had come to the know-
ledge of the University authorities of a resident member
being sued in this court, it was thought right to claim it
in order to prevent scholars from being drawn out of
their proper court on other occasions.
