EXCHEQUER-(THIS DAY).

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Lord ABLNGER and Common
J uries.)
COLLEY V. BURTON.

Mr. Jervis and Mr. Ilumphery appeared for the plaintiff,
Mr. Whateley and Mr. Terrett conducted the case for the
defendant. _

This was an action to recover compensation in damages
for certain injuries sustained by the plaintiff's cab, which he
alleged were caused by cooling in collision with the defen-
dant's cart, which was driven carelessly and negligently.
The accident occured nearly opposite the "Load of Hay," in
the Hampstead-road. From the evidence adduced on the
part of the plaintiff, it appeared that the cab had sustained
corsiderable injury, and that the cost of repairing it would
come to 161. oa 201.

A witne9P, who was said to be in Scotland, was here pointed
out by a witness under examination.
This witnesss, on being sworn, stated that he repaired the
cab ; tint it took him about four hours, for which he received
45., and that the work and; materialivouldnot exceed 40s. ;
shati the bill produced in Court, purporting to be owing by
the plaintiff to him, and amounting to 10/. 10s., was made
out by the direction of the plaintiff's wife; and that the
work specified in it was never done to the cab, and
was merely concocted by the plaintiff and his solicitor
to recover damages from the defendant. It however, ap-
peared, that the witness had formerly been in the service of
the plaintiff; and was, according to his account, discharged
for refusing to swear against his belief.—Verdict for the de-
fendant.

HOT BLAST CASE.—We understand that the pro-
Caedititp in this long litigated case were finally settled on,
Friday last by compromise—the Messrs. Baird, the last of
the parties with whom an arrangement had to be made with
the patentees, having agreed to pay 100,0001. for the use of
the patent, and-ii,kurther sum of 6,000/., in name of expenses.
We learn that had -the original demand of the patentees,
Viz., is. per ton, been acceded to, and had no attempt been
blade to break the patent, the whole amount to be paid
would not have exceeded 7,0001. The other parties inte-
smid in .lie case had, previously to the above arrangement,
co
promised for ss. a ton.—Edinburgh Paper.
