, I Mr. JACOB in this cause moved for an injunction
to restrain the defendants, Messrs. Hankey and Co.,
the bankers of Fenchurch-street, from paying, and
to restrain also a Mr. Coe from receiving, a sum of
1,000/., which they claimed as the balance of the
account of a Mr. Ogilvie, deceased. The plaintiffs
are the Directors of the Customs' Annuity Benevo-
lent Society, who in 1819 agreed to take from Mr.
Frankland Lewis, the patentee of the office of Clerk
of the Bills of Entry in the Port of London, the de-
mise of his office. The publication of the bills of
entry, and other documents connected with the de-
partment, had long been a source of such Brea'
emolument to the patentee, that the Directors of
the Customs' Annuity Society agreed to take the
publication into their own hands, and to pay the
patentee an annuity of 2,000/. for his privilege.
Nearly at the same time the Directors also entered
into an agreement with Mr. C. Ogilvie, who was
their Secretary, to commit to him all the manage-
ment of these publications. A deed was accordingly
executed between them, in which Mr. Ogilvie
entered into an agreement to pay, first, to Mr.
Frankland Lewis his annuity of 2,0001. a year out
of theirofits, and afterwards to hand over one moiety
of the produce remaining for the use of the Di-
rectors, and to retain the other moiety to himself a,
compensation for the management, with this condi-
tion, that if the moiety remaining to him did
exceed 2,0001. a year, he was to pay over all sur-
plus to the Directors, with the exception of 10 pet
cent., to which he would be entitled on the sur-
plusage thus given up. Subsequently, however,
the Directors entered into another arrangement
with Mr. Ogilvie, by which they agreed he was to
commence paying them an annual sum of 1,200/
a year, which was to be increased in three years to
1,500/. a year, and was then to continue at that
amount, Mr. Ogilvie retaining ail that the office
might produce beyond it, with the exception of the
2,0004 a year to be paid over to the patentee. In
August Mr. Ogilvie died, and his executors ap-
pointed by the will having declined to take probate
under it, Mr. Coe, one of the present defendants,
was appointed to adnsinister the effects. From the
time of the execution of the deed, Mr. Ogilvie had,
it seemed, kept two distinct accounts at the esta-
blishment of his bankers, the defendants—one his
private account, the other the account of the pay-
ment and receipts on account of the patent office,
of which he was the manager; arid it was stated
by one of the clerks that this latter account was
called Mr. Ogilvie's official account, and that it was
composed exclusively of moneys received on account
of the publication of the bills of entry. At the
time of his death there was a balance of 1,000/.
and upwards in his favour on this account, and the ,
plaintiffs now prayed that the bankers might be re-
strained from parting with it till the accounts were
fairly taken, and it was proved to be due to them as
the Directors of the Society.—lnjunction granted.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 1 1 .

METALLIC HONES-BLOWFIELD V. PAYNE AND KELL.

Mr ARCHBOLD stated, that the plaintiff, a cuttler
in Middle-row, Holborn, had in February last in-
vented a metallic hone for giving a smooth, sharp
edge to razors, penknives, and surgical instruments;
and that the defendants had, to the great disadvan-
tage of the plaintiff, sold a spurious article of the
kind as and for that of the plaintiff; and that this
action was brought to recover compensation in da-
mages for this injury. The plaintiff sold several of
these hones to clerks in the Bank of England,
among others, and the hones were wrapped up in
papers, with directions. The price was three shil-
lings and sixpence each. The defendant Kell was a
clerk in the Bank of England, and was also in
partnership with his mother-in-law, the defendant,
Mrs. Payne, who carried on the business of an iron-
monger somewhere• about Stamford-street, Black-
friars-road, and he made a spurious article, which he
sold to some clerks in the bank and others at Is.
6d. These hones were sold as Blewfield's hones,
and wrapped up in papers of the same description
as those in which the genuine articles were wrapped.
Mr. BARSTOW, for the defendant Kell, said, the
object of the action was puffery, for which the de-
fendant ought not to be made to pay.
The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, One
Farthing.

BANKRUPTCY COURT, DEC. 11.

BANKRUPTCY OF MR. ESCUDIER, PULTENEY HOTEL.

Mr. Escudier, of the Pulteney Hotel, underwent
his first examination this day on the fiat of bank-
ruptcy which has been issued against him. It was
stated that the bankrupt, about three years ago,
was placed in possession of the Pulteney Hotel by
the father of the young lady with whom he at that
time formed a matrimonial connection, and the
hotel and the furniture, stock, it contained,
were settled upon Mr. Escudier by a deed, which
the bankrupt executed at that time. Some of the
creditors complained that this fact was not known ;
but Mr. Escudier, on the other hand, said that it
was notorious that the hotel was not his property.
The messenger reported, that when he went to
take possession of the premises as the bankrupt's
property, the trustees of Mrs. Escudier made a
claim under the deed executed by the bankrupt on
his marriage, and that he found only a few articles
belonging to the bankrupt of the value of 6,51, It
appeared that the bankrupt's debts amount to up-
wards of .5,0004, principally upon bills of exchange.
Mr. Claridge was appointed assignee, and the meet-
ing adjourned.
