SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
THE EARL OF VERULAM AND OTHERS V. CIIAIAKTON.
This was an action brought by plaintiffs, as trustees, to
recover the suns of 1,241'. 9s. 8.1. for interest, under the fol-
lowing circumstances:—

It appeared that, so far back as IS4I, the defendant pur-
chased a portion of an estate in Norfolk fur 4,3401., and by
the conditions of sale defendant was to make a deposit of 10
per cent., and to enter into an agreement for the completion
of the purchase; and that, until the completion took place,
defendant undertook to pay interest at the rate of 4 per
cent. Interest was paid for three years, but although the
defendant had promised from time to time to comple e the
arrangement he had not done so, and the balance due for in-
terest was the sum now claimed.

The UNDER-SHERIFF asked whether the interest had been
calculated simple or compound, as the plaintiffs could only
claim the former?

On being answered that it was only charged at simple in•
terest, a verdict was given for the amount.

A CASE JN RANgRUPTCY.-LANGBOURNE V. WELSH..
The plaintiff in this action resides near Maidenhead; .de-
fendant is a builder in Regent-street, Mile-end-road. The
action was brought to recover the sum of 161. Is. 4d. on
bill of exchange.
Defendant pleaded that he was not indebted by the
statute.

Mr. Sm[ON, counsel for the plaintiff, said the real defence
was, that the defendant had become bankrupt, and had ob-
tained his certificate, but he (the Learned Counsel) telt that
that did not absolve the defendant from his liability, as the
fiat was issued in June, and defendant gave the bill in Sep-
tember, at three months after date, and did not get his certi-
ficate till October,
Defendant's attorney contended that the consideration for
the bill ought to be shown, for the original debt might have •
been barred by the bankruptcy, and the bill given to induce
creditors to forbear opposing the certificate.
The UNDER -SHERIFF said the bill was prima facie evi-
dence that the debt was contracted the day it bore date : at
all events to have raised the question defendant should hare
pleaded the want of consideration.
The jury thereupon gave a verdict for plaintiff for the
amount.
