COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins,' before Mr. Justice Willes and
a Common Jury.)
PATTERSON V. FEATHERSTONTIOUGH.

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, &cr., and to
superintend his brewery, at ra salary of 2/. per week,
depositing in their jmnt names 2001. in a bank as
security for his integrity. In October, 1855, the plain-
tiff left the defendant, settled his accounts, and handed
over 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 pot the plaintiff off. In October, 1855, the
defendant recommended the plaintiff to Mr. Payne,
trewer, of Derby, and the. plaintiff wanting his money
pressed the defendant to sign the note. The deferdant
still, however, declined tosign it, and in March, 1856,
wrote a letter to the plaintiff, in which be charged him
with grass mismanagement during the time he was in
his employ, and stating. also that he had discovered
deficiencies and overcharges in the plaintiff's accounts
amounting to 551. 10a., and that on his paying him that
amount he would sign the depost nete fur the repay.l
rent of the 2001.
The case was referred.

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

HALL V. BUR CABS.

TEE EVILS OF LOAN Socanu.--Thia was an action
to receive a balance due on a prornisiory note for money
!eat by a loan society.

Defendant said that, although he was the botrower 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 frind on
the part of loan societies ; there was every inducement
and temptation held out to induce people to borromv, no
matter who, and that led people to take all advantages.
Societies held out prospects of wonderful advantages.
Loan societies and groat advantages was advertised in
erety wsy 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

rifts for.

His lionnur—Yon all know very well that the surety
n one society is the borrower at another, but, after all,
;he loan societies take care of themselves.
Au order was roadsfor paymentr NAaaAti4 1../. a month.

TRESPASS, —This was an ae►,ion for iliegally breaking
and entering plaintiff's apartment, seizing her goods
and expelling the plaintiff.

Mr Buchanan stated the case fir the plaintiff, who is
a poor 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 aftorvvards he knocked her down.
He was charged with the assault., but the. alderman
advised the parties to Fettle the debt,' defendant giving
up rent which be 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 hard and cruel case, and the woman was so des
iitute, her husband being at sea, that he had taken the
case in hand, and bad paid the fees.
His Honour sail he could not go into the question of
assault, as that had already been before a magistrate,
and be thought now.that it would be better that some
arrangement should be come to.

After some Oiscussion it was agreed that no rent
should he claimed, that the goods shomld be given up,
and defendant pay 30s. as damages.
Mr. Davies, for defendant, said that this should be
carried into effect, and not be set aside as the previous
one bad been.

Hie honour said it was the order of the Court.
