ROLLS COURT.

(Before the Master of the Rolls S r John nomilly.)
RoBSON V. MICREIGHT—JUDGMENT.

This was a demurrer to the plaintiff's bill on the
ground that he was not entitled to file his bill in this
court.

The Master of the Rolls `X ag of opinion that it was not
a good anewcr to say that the plaintiff had his remedy
at law. The reasons why the demurrer cannot be sus•
tained are two—let, Thi; is a charge against the real
estate of the company, and the plaintiff is entitled to
come into a Court of Equity for relief. 21, Ia respect
that no personal representative has been appointed by
the creditors, the plaintiff ie entitler' to prosecute this
suit under the Winding-up Acts 1848-9, sec. 58. Cases

HORNS V. JENKINS -A NOVEL MODE OF CARRYIN6
ON BUSINESS.

Mr. LeWs, of Eiy-piace, appeared for the plaintiff.
Tile amount sought ti ba recovered was 441. for a
pair of gold-mounted spear:ides, alleged to have been
supplied to defendant by plaintiff. Defendant said he
did not purchase the glasses of plaintiff, but of a man
named Sheens, who he believed was master of the shop.
It appeared that the sh,,p had formerly been carried on
by a Mr. Ronbigell, and that plaintiff purchased
the busineEs of Sheen, who was Mr. Ronbigell's
fvrcun It wa L1.C.1',C4 tLat ilr. Iliabig,ll
bad been dead since January, HU; ; plaintiff still
carried on bu4iness in the name of Ronbigell, and all
letters applying for money, or upon any subject, were
signed Thomas Ronbigell.

His Honour said it was certainly a novel method of
carrying nn business, and plaintiff would maks himself
liable for Ronbigell's debts.

Defendant said that some property of his was in Mr.
Ronbigell's possession, and that he negotiated the trans-
action with them under the belief that he Wag master.
A letter was put in and an account, in which plaintiff's
c'erk admitted finding a pair of gold spectacles belonging
t efen d ant.

Mr. Lewis thought hat no answer to the present case.

Defendant denied that he dealt with plefntiff, and his
Honour thought the defence was a good one, and he
would nonsuit plaintiff.

THE LATE COMMITTAL OE A SOLIGITOR.

A. committee app .inted to inquire into the circum-
stances of the committal of Mr. Lewis, jun., also into
the manner in which the business of the Sheriffs' Court
is conducted, sat yesterday upon the petition of Mr.
Lewis, jun. Several solicitors were examined and also
oase of the offici.ls of the court. The petition set
forth that the Court was a bear garden, this his Honour,
Mr. Prendergast, was incompetent, and turned every-
tbiog into ridicule, and that the business of the court
was fist falling away. The recorder was present, and
his honour also made his appearance upon a request
from the committee. The evidence offered was contra.
dictory enough ; every small circumstance being brought
forward, such an applause, hisses, or laughter, and, on
the other hand, the demeanour of the petitioner was
commented upon by a witness. The inquiry closed yes-
terday evening, but no resolution was moved.

MARKET NEWS.—(rais Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of both Essex and Kent wheat in Lo-dav's
market was very moderate. For good and fine samples
the demand ruled steady. at prices quite equal ta. Monday ;
but damp qualities were a dull inquiry, at barely late
rates.

Only 230 quarters of English wheat have come fresh to
hand since Saturlay, but the show of gransried samples
was large. Sales progressed slowly, but no change took
place in the quotations.
The few sampli s of barley on offer were disposed of
readily, at full quotations.
Malt sold steadily, at extreme rates.
Oats, beans, peas, arri four were in steady request, but
not dearer.

-T MC i MC viUEEN AND THE WOUNDED INDIAN OFFICERS.—
Wo are 'donned tbat as sOOO as the news rescued the
Q'ltstlfl at 04 .orne of the arrival at SAithampton, in the
Pere steamer, of the wounded °Seers Crow India, her
Aajesty telegraphed to the Admiralty-office at
the that port,
requesting to be tarnished with their names and any other
particulars respecting them. Tile strong personal interest
taken by her bleje.ty in all that relates to the army is
well known to the putlic, and we trust that this prompt
cot of condescnl-ion may be looked upon as fore-
runner of some appropriate reward to officers who have
deserved so well of their country. c
