COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn and a Common Jury.)
PAIN V. HAYNES.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, an attorney,
against a female client, on an agreement into which she
entered with him, and whereby she undertook to pay the
plaintiff four guineas a day and his expenses for going out
to Australia to recover some property into which she had
come by the death of a step-brother. The defence to the
action was that the plaintiff, being an attorney, was bound
to give the defendant, a poor illiterate woman, proper ad-
vice, and that he was well aware that it was not necessary
for the recovery of the property that he or any one else
should go out to Australia. The sum claimed by the plain-
tiff was £1,400.

The case was opened late yesterday afternoon, and ad-
journed at the close of the case for the plaintiff.

Mr. Huddlestone this morning replied on the part of the
defendant. He said his client's views had been raised on
certain representations that had been made to her that she
was entitled to a large fortune, but ho was afraid her ex-
pectations would never become realized. The plaintiff had,
by glowing representations, induced the defendant to enter
into an agreement for him to go out to Australia, where
the property was situated, and make certain inquiries
about it. The plaintiff went out, but the inquiries he
made left the poor woman precisely where she was at
starting, and he contended that the plaintiff ought rather
to have persuaded his client against such a step
rather than lead her 'co incur a useless expense. He
thought the jury would be of opinion that the £250 he had
received were sufficient.

Mr. Sergeant Piggott, for the plaintiff, said everything
was done in a fair and open manner. The agreement was
entered into and signed before witnesses, and it was not
fair, now that the inquiries had turned out comparatively
valueless, that the plaintiff was to be kept from a proper
remuneration for his trouble.

dict for defendant.

POLICE IN7 ELLY;'ENCE—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

The Manchester Steeplechase Meeting scarcely elicited
a passing notice ; and no great amount of business was done
on any other event. The animals in the front rank for the
Chester Cup appear to be the only ones there is any desire
to invest upon, and consequently speculation must be
limited. For the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, Pre-
Ceptress was supported at Bto 1, and there were offers to
back her against anything else in that race. Closing
