WILSON V. CULTING.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover
the sum of 621. 10s., under the following circumstances:—
The plaintiff and the defendant had joined in the freighting
for a voyage a ship calved the Lord Nelson, and at the
termination of the adventure came to a settlement of ac•
counts, in which the defendant took credit to himself in the
account stated as having been paid by him to the broker
who had transacted the business of the speculation. Tiny
payment, however, he had not made, and the plaintiff
was subsequently arrested by the broker, and had been
compelled to pay the debt of the joint-concern, together
with the costs of the arrest, to recover which from the
defendant the present action was brought. The cause
came on before Mr. Justice Gaselee, during the present
Term, when the Learned Judge directed the Jury to find
for the plaintiff, reserving liberty to the defendant to move
the Court in order to take its opinion as to whether the
partnership was not such an one between the parties as
made the subject matter for the adjudication of a Court of
Equity.
Mr. Sergeant Gonutuorr this morning moved the
Court accordingly to set aside the verdict.
The COURT however held that the plaintiff had a pill
cause of action, inasmuch as that any partnership that had
existed had terminated with the voyage, and therefore the
plaintiff was entitled to recover the expenses he had sus-
tained by reason of the defendant's neglect.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

INSOLVENTS' COURT.-(THIS DAY)

Elizabeth P7iest, an old woman, whose case had bees
on several occasions before the Court, came up this morn•
ing for adjudication.

The insolvent, who was unopposed, had, it appeared►
formerly kept a puhlic-house in Sheffield, which she gayer
up between two and three years ago, and from that pe-
riod had been an inmate of the Fleet Prison ; her property
during her incarceration had been sold by her son-in-law,'
and realised near!), 200/., the whole of which bad beeni
spent on the support of herself and some members of her
family. When the whole was gone she petitioned the
Court. It further appeared the insolvent had married a per•
son named Wood, who had a wife living at the same time►,
and as compensation he made a will in her favour appointing
her sole executrix. He died some time since, but she bad
not proved it ; she had, however, deposited it with n
creditor as security for a debt, who refused to give it up.
Wood had died possessed of some property. Mr. Cooke
appeared on a former occasion for the appointment
of an assignee, and hoped the Court would order the
will to be given up, as the assignee might administer the
effects under the same. The Commissioner then remarked►
that the present case would, no duiht, be expatiated upon
as one illustrating the cruelty of imprisonment for debt
as one of an old woman who had been in prison for two
years—but, in his opinion, she deserved not the slightest
commiseration ; and, as she had stayed in prison to
" oblige" herself, she would stay there some time longer'
to " oblige" her creditors ; and the case stood adjourned. ;
To day Mr. COOK E again appeared, and an affidavit►
setting forth the nature of the lien on the will, was read.

The COURT said they could do nothing further for the
assignee; he could adopt what course he thought proper;
and as no good would result from a prolongation of her
imprisonment, the Court ordered her to be discharged.
