EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster, before Mr. Baron
MARTIN and a Speciat Jury.)
BELLAMY AND ANOTHER V. XAJORIBINKS AND OTHERS.
The trial of this action, of whic% a full report ap-
peared in to-day's paper, was resumed again this morn-
ing, when several witnesses were called on the part of
the defendants.
The Attorney-General, Mr. Knowles, and Mr. Un-
-thank were counsel for the plaintiffs; Sir Frederick
Thesiger, Mr. Sergeant Channel, and Sir John Bailey
for the defendants.
It will be recollected that the action was brought by
Messrs. Bellamy and Forster, as trustees, under a deed
of settlement, to recover from the defendants, who trade
as backers under the well known style of Coutts and
Company, the amount of 2,5964 17s. alleged to
have been paid by them improperly, and contrary to
the usage and custom of bankers. The defendants
pleaded that they did not promise, that they had not
acted contrary to the custom of bankers, and that the
cheque was not drawn and crossed as alleged. The
question at issue was simply whether Messrs. Coutts
and Company were justified in paying a cheque for the
above amount which was "crossed" by the plaintiffs to
be paid into the Bank of England, but sub-
sequently altered by a solicitor named Gary,
since transported for forgery, and " crossed '
4. Messrs. Gosling and Company." The cheque was
placed in the hands of Geary, for the purpose of paying
the money into the account of the Accountant-General
in respect to certain proceedings instituted in the Court
of Chancery, but instead of doing so ho altered the
"crossing" of the cheque as already mentioned,
and succeeded in getting payment at Messrs.
Coutts'a Bank. The forgery for which Geary
was transported was writing a receipt for the
money, and representing it as signed by the Accountant-
General. The action was accordingly brought to reco-
ver the amount which it was alleged the defendants had
paid in violation of the ordinary practice of banks as to
cheques twice crossed.

Several witnesses were to-day called in support of the
defendant's case, and they admitted that crossed cheques
of this description demanded explanation, yet denied
that there was anything like a generally received cus-
tom amongst bankers, such as was alleged in the decla-
r.ttion.l Formerly crossed cheques were paid without
inquiry, and it was only within the few past years, in
consequence of well-known moot cases, that the practice
tad be..otne usual of instituting inquiry and being cau-
tious.
The ATTORNEY- GENERAL theta addressed the jury in
reply, and

Yr. Baron MARTIN having summed up the case,
The jury, after about an hour's absence, returned into
court with a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount
claimed.

SECONDARIES'.--crms DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
A GREAT EXHIBITION SPECULATION.—WILFUL DAMAGE.
WOOD v. CHAPMAN.
This was an action to recover damages for breach of
covenant under a lease.
Plaintiff's attorney said the premises were situate in
the Queen's-road, Notting-hill, and in November last a
lease was granted to defendant for twenty-one
years. Defendant took the pipe°, no doubt, spe-
culating on the profits to result from the Great
Exhibition, but not finding his speculation answer, ho
committed wilful damage by knocking holes in the
walls, and taking out a mahogany shop-front, and
carrying it away, substituting one very interior, and then,
0* the Ist of April, making his exit without paying any
rent. Plaintiff brought the action not so much for the
amount as to make an example of defendant as a warn-
lag to others.
A surveyor estimated the damages at 17/. 13s.
The rent due was 10/. and the jury gave a verdict
.for 27/. 133.
