LAW INTELLIGENCE.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(rillS DAY.)

HAY V. AYLXNG

Mr. WATSON moved for a rule in this case, culling on
the defendant to show cause why the verdict which he
lad obtained should not be entered for the plaintiff; or
'shy a new trial should not be had on the ground that
the verdict was against the evidence. The case was
triad a short time ago before Mr. Justice Erle, when a
verdict was found tor the dcfaidant. The action was to
recover the amount of a bill of exchange for 100/., which
had been givers by the defendant to a person named
Arthbuthnot for a bet, in connexion with the runnirg
• " Surplice" at one c f the races; Arthbuthnot endoi seti
the bill to the plaintiff, who, when the bill became duo,
allowed ;he defendants four or five months longer to pay
It- getting him to renew the old instrument. It had,
nowever, never been paid. The defendant pleaded, at
the trial, that the bill was granted for money lost at
Earning, and that it was under the st itutes of Anne and
Victoria unrecoverable, and the jury found according;y.
Now, on the part of the plaintiff, he had to contend that
the plaintiff held the renewed bill, in cons. quince ef a
"(ma fide consideration, and that inasmuch as no
Ramint, transactions had taken place between
h
"lm*elf and the defendant, that he was etioteed
to recover. !Formerly, by the statute of Anne,
persons who lost above 10/. at play were punishable by
4.7 "a", which fine mustbe recovered in a court of j
1.:120- The statute of Victoria made gaming and het
ling legal, or at least not punishable as before by fine;
but money lost at play, or in betting, could not be re-
covered in a court of justice. He contended that the
transaction in question between the plaintiff and defen-
dant did not come within the meaning of the law. It was
▪ very strange case altogether, for the jury came into
the court and gave a verdict for the plaintiff; but one of
''"e jurymen called out that he did not agree with the
verdict. They were then directed to retire and again
deliberate, and such was the effect of that dissatisfied
j▪
uryman's verdict, that he induced the eleven to find for
the defendant.—(Laughter.) So that he might say that
"iIY his Lordship and one of the jurymen were against
h,.

Mr. Justice ERLE said he was strongly of opirdon thEt
the verdict was a proper one.
After some further discussion,
The COURT granted a rule.

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
The Court proceeded with the special piper te-day,
but. no case cf the slightest general importance was heard
dUring the morning.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
HANBURY V. DAMPIER.
,-51 r. CHAMBERS applied, under the 46th section of the
this
Commutation Act for an order to tax the costa in
I.l?is case. ThiA section provided that an issue might be
directed by this Court when a landowner appealed
aßaiest the decision of the Tithe Commissioners, and
that when the issue was trig d it would be in the dis
;retion of the Court to direct the taxation of the costs.
In the present instance the landowner had appealed
against two awards made by the Commissioners, and it
Appeared that, with the exception tf one point, he had
been
successful in estsblishing his appeal.
His LORDSHIP granted a rule nisi, to show cause why
the costs should not be taxed.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner PANE.)
A JURISDICTION OF THE COURT.—EXPARTE.
a An exparce application was made in a case where a
14t hal been issued against a party residing at Essart,
the district of tte Birmingham Court, in order that
the proceedings might be removed into this court.
From an atlia,vit of facts, it appeared that only one
vreditor re,Ped in the Birmingham district, arid all tte
Them
to a large amount in London; and the debts with
Vlem had, to a gri at excent, been contract e I within the
'4't month. The bankrupt had, 4ithout the knowledge
()I his creditors, nsiigned the p rope: ty, which was being
tQciElessly sold by auction, as other goods had been as
s°o4 as received.
f nilB HONOUR said it locliefl very much like a case of
-44'1, but he did not know that he had any power to
„,
-t. "Under the old law each Commissioner had an ori-
Lnat jurisdiction, but under the last Act, by which the
otsrt of Review was aholished (that court tormerly en-
Prt4ining these cities on petition), certain acts were
eeted to be done by the Senior Commissioner (Evans).
X
"4' (his Honour). tier' fire considered that the case
ought to he referred to the Senior Commissioner. His
°flour then wrote a statement of the case for Mr. Com-
missioner Evans to decide on at his own :residence, as
awe was urgent,
