QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings in Banco.)
The Court was occupied the greater part of the morn
ing in hearing a motion to quash an order of sessions in
the case of " The Queen v. the Justices of the West
Riding of Yorkshire," having reference to the settle-
ment of a lunatic pauper. The question was purely one
of legal practice, and the facts involved no feature of
public interest to justify a detailed report.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
The only business transacted in this court during the
morning was the hearing of a few motions, none of
which possess any feature of general interest.

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
KNIGHT V. BASE AND ANOTHER.

This case was tried before Mr. Baron Parke at the last
sittings at Guildhall, when a verdict was given for the
plaintiff, damages 781.
Mr. Sergeant SUEE now moved for a rule to show
cause why a now trial should not be had, on the ground
that the verdict was against the evidence, and on affi Javit.
It was an action against Messrs. Base and Kelly, the de-
fendants, on a bill of exchange for 754 Bs., which was ac-
cepted by Kelly in the partnership name of his firm. It
appeared that Kelly was indebted to a person named
Richard Powell Davis for the amount of the bill, who
persuaded him to sign the acceptance of the firm to it,
though he was only personally responsible for the debt.
At the trial it was shown that Kelly's partner knew no-
thing of the transaction, and that the plaintiff must have
had good grounds for believing at the time the bill came
into his possession that the bill had been fraudulently
signed.—The Court granted a rule.

KERBY V. HARDING.
In this case, which was also tried before Mr. Baron
Parke at the last sitting in London, and in which a ver-
dict was found for the defendant,
Mr. BARSTOW moved for a ruin to set aside the ver-
dict, and for a new trial.
This was an action in trover for disposing of goods
under a distress, without giving proper notice. The
plaintiff was the owner of a horse and gig, which he
was in the habit of keeping at a livery stables, of which
the defendant was the landlord. A distress was made
on all the goods in the premises, for arrears of rent, and
the plaintiff's horse and gig was included in the levy;
but in order that the tenant's business might not
be injured, by the distress becoming publicly known,
the defendant allowed the vehicles and horses, deposited
in the yard, to leave, as usual. Accordingly, for a week
after the distress, the plaintiff's gig was driven out in
the morning, and generally brought back in the evening,
but at the end of that time the horse and gig were
seized upon and sold, together with a considerable
quantity of other property. The Learned Coumel now
contended, on these facts, that though the defendant,
as landlord of the premises, had a good lien on all the
ho
rse and
re gig, and was, there-
