COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.

( Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord LYNDHURST and
a Common Jury. )
WOOLEY V. ROWLAND.

The plaintiff in this action was a cab proprietor,
who sought to recover the value of a horse alleged to
have been killed by the negligence of the defendant,
who was a butcher.

Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS appeared for the plaintiff,
and showed that on the 2d of May the plaintiff's cab
had taken up a fare, and was proceeding close to the
curb-stone through Coventry-street, about ten o'clock
in the evening, when the defendant, who with two
friends was going the other way in a butcher's cart,
attempted to pass an omnibus, and run his shaft into
the breast of the plaintiff's horse, from which injury
the horse died. It was valued at 121, and plaintiff had
spent 2./. in trying to recover it. The defendants had
been enjoying themselves in Newport Market, and
were not sober.

Mr. HUTCHINSON addressed the jury for the de-
fendant, and called one of the persons that was in the
cart with the defendant. He stated that the defendant
was driving, and was perfectly sober. When they
got into Coventry-street they were behind an omnibus
which stopped to take up a passenger ; there being
plenty of room, defendant drew out of the ranks to
pass it. The cab at the same moment drew across
the road, and run against their shaft. Defendant
called out to the cab-man as loud as he could, when
he was at some distance, but no notice was taken of
it. Defendant's pony had died in consequence of the
same accident.

He was corroborated by a Mr. Dale, a tradesman in
Coventry-street, but he gave his evidence in such a
confused manner, that neither the Court, Counsel, or
Jury could well understand him.
Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS replied.
Lord LYNDHURST having summed up, the jury re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 121.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.

MACDONALD AND CAMPBELL'S BANKRUPTCY.

A very numerous meeting of the creditors of
Messrs. Macdonald and Campbell, army-agents, of
Regent-street, was held this morning, before Mr.
Commissioner MERIVALE, for declaring two dividends,
one on the joint estate, and the other on the separate
estate of Mr. Macdonald. The Commissioner then
made an order for the further dividend of 6d. in the
pound on the joint estate, and directed the declaration
of a dividend on Macdonald's separate estate to be
postponed, without mentioning for what period. A
further dividend on the joint estate, is not expected to
be declared for several months.
