GREEN v. PRIM

This was an action of covenant to recover the sum of 5,000/.

Mr. Martin and Mr. Lush appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr.
Jones and Mr. Cowley for the defendant. _ _

The agreement which formed the ground of the present
action was made by the defendant in favour of the plaintiff.
who, after retiring from the business of a perfumer bound
himself in the above sum not to set up again within a certain
distance of London. The plaintiff having, as it appeared.
succeeded the defendant in his perfumery establishment
Lombard-street, the defendant was alleged to have broken
this agreement, and he was now sued for the penalty.
It was contended on behalf of the defendant that no specific
loss to the plaintiff had been shown to have resulted from his
recommencing business, and also that he was not within the
distance named. Proceedings were taken in the case last
term, when, in virtue of the decision in the case of Malian
t,. May, where it was held that the word " London," when
unqualified, did not include Westminster, the Court ordered
the plea of distance to be corrected.
Shortly after the opening of the plaintiff's case, his Lord-
ship stated it to be his opinion that_this quastion was one of
law.

It was then agreed that Mr. Jt rvis should tender a bill 01
exceptions to his Lordship's ruling, and that, in the mean-
time, a verdict should be taken for the plaintiff.
Verdict for the plaintiff accordingly—Damages, 5,000/.

LAWRENCE V. CLARK.

This was an action to recover 2001. on a bill of exchange
Mr. Jervis and Mr. Chambers appeared for the plaintiff;
Mr. James and Mr. Petersdorff for the defendant.

The ground of action arose of a gambling transaction of
Lord Waldegrave. His Lordship, it appeared, had lost thy
sum of three thousand pounds at a gambling-house in
Regent-street, called the Strangers' Club, which was kept
by a person named Russell. This took place in the year
1842. For the debt thus contracted, be gave I. 0. U.'e
amounting to 3,000/. Mr. Russell, having taken thew-
!. 0. U.'s, applied to the defendant, who re ides at Thistle-
grove, Brompton, to purchase them of him, assuring him, at
the same time, that they had not been won at gambling, and
also telling him that he was in negotiation with Mr. Bevan.
the attorney of Lord Waldegrav ,e for the settlement of the
debt. The defendant gave Mr. Russell several bills in con-
sideration of these I. 0. LTA. The one now under the consi-
deration cf the Court found its way into the hands of Mr.
Lawrence, a horse-dealer and bill discounter, in Oxford-
street, who now sued the defendant upon it.
The action was resisted by the defendant on the ground
that the I 0 U's had been obtained by gambling, and that
the bills were handed over to the plaintiff . without conside-
ration, and merely for the purpose of the action. The de-
fendant had put six pleas on the record, and the affirmative
of issue resting with him, the defendant's case, contrary to the
usual course, was first gone into.

While the defendant's ease was proceeding, an application
was made to the Court by Mr. James, for leave to apply to
the Court next term to amend the firs•• plea for the purpose
of having a new trial, the notice for the production of the
bills being insufficient.--The arplication was acceded to
A verdict was then given for the plaintiff for 2121. 10s.,
121. 10s. being the amount due for interest.

COMMON PLbAS.—( IRIS DAY.)
Their Lordships, this day, gave judgment in six out of
nine remanet cases, allowing three to stand over.
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL
and a Special Jury).
PATTERSON O. HOLLAND AND OTHERS.

This was an action for the infringement of a patent for the
prevention of the oxidation, or rusting of iron, by means of a
coating of zinc. The plaintiff's case was not concluded when
we went to press.

AMERICAN NEWS.

EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.
LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING.
At a late hour last night we received New York
papers to the 23d ult., brought by the Queen of the
West, Captain Woodhouse, in a passage of twenty
dAys, to whom we tender our thanks for the prompt
landing of our papers. It will be recollected that,
during Captain ‘Voodhouse's last visit to this p..rt,
an attempt wis made upon his life by one of his
crew, and the wound was so dangerous that he was
for a long time confined to his hotel; he is now,
however, recovered, and visits Liverpool again per-
fectly restored.
The news by this arrival, which extends over sevcn
days, possesses but little interest.

THE MARKET, JAN. 21.
The sales of cotton are but 400 bales. The market is
nothing better for the news, as the very latest dates speak of
rather an unfavourable turn.
Ashes steady at 4 dolls. and 4,19 to 25 dolls; 150 bbls.
whiskey sold at 23 cts., which is a reduction in conformity to
drudge.
Flour is steady. The sales of common Genesee are at
4 dolls 75c. in small parcels, and 4 dolls. 72c. in large ;
Michigan and Ohio are worth as much as Genesee; Southern
all dull at steady prices.
A cargo of Southern corn brought 47 cts. 56 lbs.
Prime Pork is better ; 200 brls. sold at 7,75 dolls , and there
are further buyers at that rate. Mess can be had at 9,75 dolls.
Beef steady.
Sterling 93/4 to 10, though some hold at 1014, and it is diffi-
cult to find real prime bills at 10. Francs 5,2214 to 233/4.
P.S. Evening—Sales of cotton for the day 700 bales.

A Cahi.iet Council was held at two o'clock this
afternoon, at the Foreign-office, Dov,ning-street, ti e

Accounts of Oct. 26, from Van Dieman's Land, and Sept.
4, from New Zealand, have come to hand this morning.
There is nothing of particular interest from Van Dieman's
Land, except that the colony is represented, both on official
and private authority, to be doing rather better.
In New Zealand, Captain Fitzroy was still engaged in the
adjustment of the flag-staff dispute, though the chief, pre-
tending to have superior jurisdiction over his countrymen,
John Ileclire, as he is called, was expected to make some
compensation. The port of Russell had been declared tree
to ships of all nations, and, to meet the complaints of the na-
tives, all duties ate remitted. This will be questionable
policy in the opinion of many, but it is difficult, unless upon
mature consideration, to give an opinion here.
In our remarks upon the duties imposed on one or two im-
portant articles of daily consumption, such as butter and
cheese, the decrease in the consumption.was printed as being
50s. to 755. per cent. instead of 50 to 75 per cent. Upon this
interesting subject we have now a few additional items fur-
nished us by the same brokers, Keeling and Hunt. They state
that the quantity of butter destroyed by tar, and sold as
grease, within the last twenty years, may be calculated
from 100 to 150 tons per annum, which, at a reduced duty,
might have been consumed as butter, leaving a loss to the
importers from twenty to forty per cent., and to the revenue
of the difference between the 20s. per cwt. evaded duty

articles would, from the present deficiency or low butter. WI
cheese, increase consumption so as to leave a remitneratiOg
price to the importer.
