ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir J. florally.)
JUDGMENT.--POOLE V. LEASE..-LEASK V. POOLE.

The contention in this case was whether the plaintiff
(colonial broker, City) was bound by the acts of a person
of the name of Anderson, who acted as his agent in the
purchase and sale of currants. The plaintiff alleged that
Anderson's agency was limited to currants only, and as to
other purchases and sales of goods he acted as their clerk
or messenger, and plaintiff, was not liable for his acting
in any other way.
The defendant contended that Anderson acted generally
as the plaintiff's agent in the purchase and sale of goods and
settlement of accounts—that his transactions wore known
and not objected to by the plaintiff, but acquiesced in by him,
and therefore the business transactions entered into by
Anderson were binding on the plaintiff.
His Honour, after carefully considering the voluminous
evidence produced, which was very conflicting, and refer-
ring to the business transactions between the parties, came
to the conclusion that Anderson was the authorised agent
of the plaintiff in +he purchase and sale of goods in general,
and that he had authority to receive and settle accounts,
and that he had authority to receive the balance of accounts
paid by the defendant to him.

CITY BETTING—(YzsTERDIT).

The Racing Times says : The attendance of those
gentlemen interested in the " national pastime" was most
numerous and respectable at both the City clubs and the
West-end rendezvous. The bookmakers did not seem,
however, overmuch pleased at the result of the
gathering at Aintree, but this arose more from the pe-
cuniary state of the finish than the character, either of
the sport or the attendance, which were as good as
could be expected, bar the principal backers of horses.
The Nottingham Handicap engrossed some considerable
1 attention, and the business transacted showed a vast
amount of animation, and, in fact, no less than four ani-
mals were backed for some money—Syringe, Wallace,
Eskdale, and Nosegay ; the former would have been backed
for a large amount at anything over 2to :1. About Wal-
lace, 5 to 1 was taken to a good stake of money, and taken
freely. Eskdale and Nosegy were each supported with
spirit at 8 to 1.
The Goodwood Stakes was productive of some animated
speculation, the backers being numerous and anxious to get
on their respective fancies at their own stipulated prices.
Gridiron still was at the top of the poll, and as little as 5
to 1 would have been taken to money, but only 4t to 1

being offered, the business transactions were few. At the
commencement so many inquiries were made after
Satellite that 7 to 1 was the highest offer, until a certain

gentleman made his appearance, when, after laying
800 to 100, thereby setting an example, lots of other were
too anxious to follow suit, but it was too late, and conse-
quently the backers fought shy.
Tocher was in increased favour ; 9 to 1 was the highest
obtainable price, 10 to 1 would, however, have been taken

to some amount.
100 to 8 was once taken about Rattlebone, but plenty
of layers could have been found at the above quotation.
10 to 1 was the most that could be obtained about Ava-
lanche, and Stapleton was knocked slick out, 50 to 1 being
laid and afterwards offered. Danae was brought into pro-
minent notice, and after 33 to 1 and 25 to 1 being taken to
money, he came to 20 to 1, being the longest price eventu-
ally obtainable.
For the Goodwood Cup Butterfly and Starke were the
only two about whom inquiries were made, 4 to 1 being the
offer about Butterfly, and 5 to 1 about Starke ; but in both
instances a point more was asked for, and would (if it could)
have been taken. _ _ _

The St. Leger was entirely confined to the two favourites;
Wizard decidedly being in the greatest force, anything over
3 to 1 would have been snapped up, but there was no such
chance. 7to 2 was offered against Thormanby, and at 4
to 1 business would have been done to a large amount.
The following quotations will suffice to show the present
state of the market :

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—MONDAY.
There were a few books opened on the Nottingham Han-
dicap, for which Syringe was installed favourite, 2 to 1
being the highest offer against him ; 6 to 1 was taken about
Eskdale, and 7to 1 against Nosegay. For the Goodwood
Stakes, Gridiron was first backed at 9 to 2 ; but as many
of the bookmakers were anxious to lay against him, towards
the close 9to 1 was freely offered. During the same time
Tocher was steadily supported at 9 to 1 ; and 10 to 1 was
taken against Satellite. There were offers to take 100 to
7 about Rattlebone, and one gentleman coming to the rescue
of Stapleton was accommodated with 200 to 7, and then was
quietly asked if he would have 500 to 5 more. Closing

for the Goodwood Meeting will be issued to-morrow. He
advised Starke for the Goodwood Stakes, and Promised
Land for the Cup last

trials just to hand he is again equally confident of success.
Remember his late victories with. Moorcock for the Liver-
pool Cup, and First Lord for the Northumberland Plate.
