JUDGMENT.-AIREY V. BOREIiAM.

This was a suit for a dissolution of a medical partnership
in the West-end, and return of the balance of the premium
(LlOO out of £400) paid by the plaintiff to the defendant on
the ground of misrepresentation of the profits of the de-
fendant's medical business.

The plaintiff alleged that on becoming a partner he was to
have a third share of the profits of the business, estimated at
£6,000 a-year.

His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, on considering the
evidence produced, was of opinion that the plaintiff had
failed to prove his allegations, and declared the partnership
dissolved as of this day without costs on either side, and
directed an account of the profits of the partnership to be
taken, and recommended that if the parties were wise they
would settle their differences themselves, and not bring their
disputes again before him.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
PUBLIC BALLS AND LOST PROPERTY-FORDRAII Y. SALTER.
This was an action to recover £2 10s., the value of a coat
and contents lost at a ball at Salter's Hotel.
The plaintiff was called by Mr. Grey, and said that he
attended a ball at Salter's Hotel in January last. Gave his
Inverness cape to a Waiter, and received a ticket with the
number. At the termination of the night's festivities the
coat was not to be found.

Cross-examined by Mr. Hind—The coat was a new one.
In the packet was a street door key, a pair of gloves, and a
pocket handkerchief. The ball was got up by a philan-
thropic society to assist the poor during the late inclement
weather. Bought the ticket for the ball at a public-house.
Saw a bill in the window of the public-house at which my
ticket was purchased, notifying the fact that my coat had
been " lost or stolen." Mr. Hind contended that Mr. Salter
could not be made liable in such a case as this. The waiter
took the coat and gave up a ticket, but was not in the ser-
vice of Mr Salter for such a duty. He was not engaged to
take care of coats, and surely the loss could not be charged
to defendant. Again it had net been shown that the plain-
tiff gave the waiter anything for his trouble in taking care
of the coat.

His Honour—There was no bailment.
Mr. Hind—Just so. The hall at the hotel was hired by
a philanthropic society for a ball, and the waiters gave
tickets for the coats and hats.

Plaintiff—l meant to give the waiter something when I
received my coat. If he were not responsible, of what use
was the ticket ?

His Honour—Had you given the waiter a halfpenny
with the coat there would have been some consideration.
As it is I do not see how you can make the defendant or
the waiter liable. To make the defendant liable you will
have to show agency, and that you have not done.

Upon this decision plaintiff elected to be nonsuited.

as
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for the complainant.

Mr. Henry Charles Curlewis, a master tailor, of 53, Con-
duit-street, said the prisoner's husband had been in his em:-
ploy about 10 years, and was a very respectable man, but he
was sorry to say that the prisoner was a woman of a very
drunken character. Yesterday she came to his place of
business very drunk, and on his entering the workshop,
where several men were employed, he found her fighting
with her husband and several of the workmen, and throw-
ing the whole place into the greatest disorder. He had
seriously to complain of the annoyance he suffered from
her for about four years, as every time she got drunk, which
was very frequently the case, she created a disturbance, and
collected a crowd round his house. She used very threa-
tening language, and was only just liberated from prison,
where she had been for three months for annoying him.
Prisoner said she thought it better to be in prison than
to be about the streets. Her husband allowed her nothing.
Mr. Curlewis said that was not true.

Mr. Tyrwhitt, refuting to the charge sheet, said she was
charged with being drunk, and he could only deal with her
for that. She ought to have been charged with assault.
He should line her 10s. or one week, and if she came again
she would have three months.

Prisoner sail she would rather have the three months.
