?JETTIES V. PINEY.

This Ism an action brought by the plaintiff, who is
an accountant, to recover the sum of 101. on an 1.0. U.
given for work and labour done by the plaintiff for the
defendant in preparing a balance•sheet to enable the
defendant to pas 4 the Court of Bankruptcy.
Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, and stated
the fact that defendant had gone before the Court on his
own petition, and by the Act he was required to swear
that he was worth more than 150/. above the expenses
of the Court, and in the belief that defendant had sworn
truly he gave anundertaking to accept such amount as the
Court might accord for the preparation of the act:ton/AR,
but on the investigation of the accounts it turned out
that the estate would bare!y defray the expenses cf the
court, and he thereupon refused to file the balance-sheet
nnless the defendant gave an 1.0. U. fur 101.
It was no w contended that the plaintiff was bound to
file the account under the undertaking and could not
recover on the 1.0. U.
Mr. Buchanan contended urgently against such a
proposition and urged that all the delay arose through the
misstatement made by the defendant, on which alone hie
petition had been received. It was ultimately decided
that the case should be adjourned for two months, for
the production of the memorandum, and to ascertain
what the estate had realised.

ceeding to the spot he'saw the prisoner Pert, who
was very drunk, jumping
about and making use of the
most filthy expressions he had ever heard. He went up
to her for the purpose of removing her, when the
male prisoner, who was also the worse for liquor, came
up, and, laying hold of her by the arts, attempted to
rescue her from his cu-tody. Witness expostulated
with him, and explained the consequence resulting from
such proceedings, when he became so violent as to render
the assistance of two other constables necessary to convey
them to the mtation.

very sorry, indeed, at what had transpired, and threw
himself upon the mercy of the court. The woman was
a perfect stranger to him.
Sir John Watson gave the male defendant an excel-
font character for honesty, sobriety, and general good
conduct, and said no doubt the novelty of London life
caused him to be more excited than usual, and hence his
present position.
Mr. Beadon said it was fortunate he had committed
himself no worse, and trusted a fine of Si. would be a
warning to him for the future. The woman would be
discharged on payment of los.
