This was an action upon a bill of exchange held by the
plaintiff s and acce by defen.
Mr. Freshfieldp appeared for the plaintiffs, and an at-
torney's clerk asked permission to attend for defendant,
and Mr. Kent the solicitor.
His Honour refused to hear the clerk, who then stated
that he merely came to make terms. He offered to pai the
. _

bill at 15s. per month.
Mr. Freshfield said that defendant was a master build3r.,
and well able to pay at once. He would call a witness
the handwriting, and it would be proved that defendant
employed 12 men.
Mr. Ford said, the bill was given for a goods transaetil
between the drawer and defendant. It was really
empa
loy.-
bfe!.,,
fide bill. Defendant was a master builder, and
a number of men.
His Honour saw no reason to make any alteration 111. the
usual order. Defendant must pay in 10 days.
Mr. Freshfield then asked for the bill. bills
Mr. Aikman (chief bailiff)—The rule is to retain the
which are sued upon, and upon which judgment has
been
recovered. ry to
Mr. Freshfield strongly objected, as it was neneBse'd
produce the document in Bankruptcy.
Mr. Aikman—The custom here (as by rule of the learned
Judge) is to stamp all bills sued upon with the seal of the
court, &c., "judgment recovered."
Mr. Osgood (chief clerk) said—That was so, and
gr'
Kerr was very strict in carrying out the order.
Mr. Freshfield said he must also object to this Willi':
It might be necessary to proceed against the other pera°ll"
tact
His Honour directed the bill to be given 11P

be recollected that the sum in question was nearly
years' arrears. It was rather hard to allow defendant t:
get so much behind in his quarterage and then potmesuPe
him.
Mr. Savage, clerk to the company, said repeated soli;
cations had been made to defendant, and the companY*.i!,„,
obliged to establish a principle. The company
10s. per month.
Mr. Buchanan, on the part of his client, would consent tc;
this sum, and the order was made accordingly, his 11°11°,111,0
remarking that the company should not have allowed I.&
defendant to fall into such arrears.

Mr. Buchanan, for plaintiff, stated that his client was n
would tag
keeper, who had trusted defendant from tin
° °
time, and called plaintiff to prove the amount due.
Defendant did not think he owed so much; and tiPen
looking at the bill he saw that one day's score for beet
was 3s. 6d.
His Honour thought that was a large amount.
Plaintiff—Defendant brought his friends and trented
them.
Defendant—Only twice.
His Honour—ln all score cases of beer-shops and public'
houses I must have clear proof.
Mr. Burcham then consented to an adjournment.

Defendant said he had paid Is. 6d. per day for medicialot
and did not think he should be called upon to pay- for
visits.
Plaintiff said that the usual charge was 3s. 6d. per visit,
Defendant-3s. 6d. to a poor man I Why, what vrotilu
you charge a little Rothschild ? (Laughter.)
Mr. Buchanan—Oh, five guineas. (Roars of laughter.)

The certificate from the Surgeons' College was produco"
but not that from the Apothecaries' Company.
Mr. Buchannan referred his Honour to the bootbg

medical registration, published in conformity vv'ith
recent Act of Parliament.
His Honour—You see that the medicine was suPPlied,
before the passing of the new act, and the registry is 11

Hadlow was entitled to be inserted. His Honour then ~,
an order subject to the production of the certificate of tm

An agent attended in support of usual plaints take°
by medical men, and argued the above question ven7t
closely with the judge, stating that in every other C°
the registry was accepted as evidence, but his 11°1°
refused to admit it in the case.
