QUEEN'S BENCH. _(THIS DAY.)
:Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westrninister, before the LORD
CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury.)
JOHNSTON v. CLARK.
This was an action to recover the sum of 1931 due on
two bills of exchange.
Mr. Huggins, Q.C., and Mr. Willes appeared for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Air. Joyce conducted
the defence.
It appeared that the plaintiff, Mr. Johnston, was the
bolder of two orerdue bills of exchange, one for 87/. 10s.,
accepted by the defendant Clark, and endorsed by him to
the plaintiff, and the other for 70/., drawn by the de-
fendant on a gentleman named Sullivan, and endorsed
by the defendant to the plaintiff. He brought an action
to recover the amount of these bills against the defen-
dant, who pleaded a variety of pleas. Issue was
joined, the record was made up, and the trial
fixed for the 19th day of June, 1848 ; but
Shortly before the trial the parties entered into an agree-
ment for the settlement of the action. The defendant
was the holder of a bill of a person named Clansey, an
officer in the Hussars, fur 300/., which fell due on the
30th of August, IE4B, and at the suggestion of the de-
fendant, the plaintiff agreed to take this bill, and out
of the proceeds to pay himself fur the amount of the
two bills, together with interest and costs, and to return
the balance to the defendant. In the event of the bill
not being paid by November, the defendant undertook
to settle the debt with costs. These terms were con-
sidered satisfactory by the plaintiff, and the record was
accordingly withdrawn. The bill was dishonoured on
being presented to Clansey, and the defendant
neglected to fulfil his promise. An appli-
cation was subsequently made to a judge at
chambers to enter up judgment against the defendant,
but his Lordship refused to do so, on the ground that
in the agreement the parties consented to a final settle-
ment of the action. The consequence was that the
plaintiff had to pay all the costs which had been incurred,
in addition to the delay, expense, and risk of bringing a
fresh action.
The defence was that Clansey was absent in India
with his regiment at the time the bill became due, and
would have honoured it had it been presented to him in
the proper way.
The Learned JUDGE having summed up,
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff fur the full
amount claimed.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
(THIS AY.
At eleven o'clock 19,608 peDrsons) had passed through
the doors of the Crystal Palace, and at that hour an im-
mense stream was continually pouring in from all quar-
ters. Most of the visitors to-day were country people,
and, as if to-day were a special holiday, we noticed a
greater number of soldiers, sailors, and policemen among
the visitors thar. on any previous occasion.

THE ROYAL CHILDREN TO DE TAUGHT GAELIC.—
The 'lucerneFs Courier says that a correspondent who dates
from the Temple, states that her Majesty and Prince Albert
have conimisstoned a gentleman from the north to engage
the services of a Gaelic teacher for the Royal. Family. "There
is every chance," he says, "of an intimate friend of mine
getting the appointment." This is certainly a compliment
to the ancient language of the Gael.
