IMPORTANT SHIPPING CASE.--PAIN V. LINCOLN.

In this case the plaintiff, as broker to Messrs. Robinson
and Flemming, merchants, sought to recover the sum of
£4 7s. for breach of contract under the following circum-
stances :

Messrs. Robinson and Flemming had chartered a vessel,
of which defendant was captain. Defendant, however, took
up another charter, and plaintiff's principal had to pay a
higher rate of freight, and now sought to recover the da-
mages so sustained.
His Honour—You are no party to the charter party ?
Plaintiff—No ; but lam agent to Messrs. Robinson and
Co., who hold me responsible.
His Honour—You cannot sue. You have not signed the
charter party. Your principals are contractors, and they
having sustained the loss must sue.
Plaintiff—Then I must ask your Honour for commission
and charter stamp. That is always paid by the
.ship.
His Honour—Then you will be nonsuited as to the
breach of contract, and have a verdict for the commission.

THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.—At a conference
of delegates from the various temperance societies in Lon-
don, held in the Great Hall, Broadway, Westminster, on
Monday evening, a resolution was passed strongly depre-
cating the keeping open of public-houses after ten o'clock
on Saturday, as being a source of temptation to spend money
and to commit crime to the working classes. It was fur-
ther resolved to take measures, by petition and otherwise,
to have Saturday .night assimilated to Sunday night in
regard to the keeping open of houses for the traffic in
strong drinks.
