Although the business doing in seeds has not materially
increased, there is rather a better feeling to notice in the
demand, and the quotations, on the whole, are fairly sup-
ported. Cakes are a slow inquiry on easier terms.

LA TV INTELLIGENCE—( phis Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Stuart.)

TROU UNAN V. FLESIIER.-FLESHER V. TROHUNAN.

His Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, said--In this case the
question is, whether there is sufficient evidence of ttly
agreement parole or written to obtain a lease of the farm of
Leadey. His Honour, in considering the terms of the
letter of the 9th April, 1858, by the plaintiff, and the de-
fendant's letter of the Bth of March following, and the
parole evidence produced, was of opinion that there was
no concluded agreement for a lease. And his opinion
was confirmed by the decisions of Sir William Grant
in Green v. Suttens and by Lord Redesdale in
Steen v. Radesky, where it was held that the
the lease was not binding on the remainder men unless
actually executed. The remainder men would not be bound
by the informal agreements of the tenant for life, but this
declaratign does not extend to the parol agreement, but it is
insufficient. His Honour contended that there was not
sufficient evidence to entitle the plaintiff to ask for specific
performance of the alleged agreement for a lease in this
case. His Honour observed that under the en-
larged jurisdiction of this court by the new Act
of Parliament, a better remedy would lie in a
claim for compensation or damages than in the relief asked
for by specific performance of the agreement. His honour
made one declaration in both causes to the effect that the
bill for specific performance must be dismissed with costs,
and that the costs must include the cost of evidence in both
causes. Declare that the plaintiff must give up possession
—adjourn the cause to Chambers to take accounts, with
liberty to apply.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
RAE V. THE THAMES IRON WORKS AND SHIP-BUIDING

COMPANY.

Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Hindmarsh, aad Mr. Griffits, were
counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Shee, Mr.
Webster, and Mr. V. Harcourt, for the defendant.
This was an action brought for the infringement of a
patent which the plaintiff had taken out for an improve-
ment in the formation of the keel for iron steam vessels.
The defendant pleaded ." Not Guilty ; that it was not a
first invention ; that it was not new ; that it was not the
subject of a patent, &c.

The plaintiff had been workman, foreman, and manager to
Messrs. Rennie. The defendants' company having been
established, they secured the services of the plaintiff. The
defendants had centracted to build two ships for the Royal
Mail Steam Navigation Company. The plaintiff was aware
of a great defect in connecting the kelson with the keel in
ships, and he had invented a mode of doing this, which he
thought a great improvement. He had kept his plans and
models sealed up in his own private office. Two persons
connected with the Mail Company had come down to talk to
him about the ships the defendants were building for them,
and, in confidence, he showed them his models, telling
them he should take out a patent. They highly approved
the improvement, and requested plaintiff to apply it to their
ships. Soon after this, on the 10th of April, 1858, the
plaintiff took out a patent, and at the end of that month
the directors and the plaintiff disagreed, and he left their
service. After that time they applied his invention to the
Warrior and other ships which they built, and refused to
allow the plaintiff any royalty, and this gave rise to the
present action.

For the defendants-it was urged- that the plaintiff must
be Ronsuited, inasmuch as before he took out his patent he
had communicated his invention, and had caused it to be
used to two of the defendants' ships.
The result of the proceedings was a nonsuit on the
ground of publication.

dealer in old clothes, was charged before Mr. Beadon by
Inspector Webb, of the C division, with selling spirits,
not being licensed to do so, contrary to the 6th George 111.,
cap. 80, secs. 138 and 140.

In the prisoner's possession was found several bottles and
decanters containing rum and gin, and also a half quartern

Berketf, 143 C, proved going to defendant's house, and
being served with a glass of gin and a glass of rum, fer
which he paid 51d., about eleven the previous morning,
and also seeing several other persons supplied with rum
and gin from bottles under the counter, for which they all
paid.
Inspector Charles Webb, of the C division, proved going
about noon the previous day, ac2ompanied by Butcher, 137
C, and seeing in the parlour the last witness, and a man
and two women, sitting there. Some glasses were on the

searching the place found several bottles oontaining rum
and gin; in all seven bottles, containing six pints of
gin and four pints of rum, and a half-quartern measure
which he had ascertained to have been stolen from a
neighbouring public-house.
Mr. William Edward Guttridge, excise supervisor of
the district, proved defendant was not licensed to sell
spirits.
Mr. Beadon said the defendant was liable to a penalty
of £lOO. It was a wholesale, case, and had it been proved
that the practice was carried on in the neighbourhood he
should have inflicted the full fine. As it was he should
fine her £25 or three months' hard labour.
