COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Drc. 18.
PAUL V. LADY IVELLESLEY.
This was an action against Lade Emily Mary
Wellesley, to recover a sum of 251. .ss. for goods
sold and delivered.
The COMMON SERGEANT (with whom, was Mr.
Platt) stated, that the plaintiff was a respectable
cabinet-maker and upholsterer, carrying on business
in Oxford-street. In March last the defendant,
Lady Wellesley, called at the plaintiff'S house, and'
gave orders for a zebra book-case and some other
articles, to be made for her, and sent to her country
residence at Margate. She gave her address No. 8,
Portman-street, Portman-square -; and in answer to.

pleted, were packed up and delivered at her Lady-
ship's house : but she had since refused to pay for
them, and she now intended, as he (the Learned
Counsel) understood, to defend this action on the
ground that she was a married woman, and therefore
not liable to pay for the art ides.
The plaintiff's foreman, James Watson, deposed
to the fact of the orders being given by Lady Wel-
lesley to the plaintiff in March last. In April, when
the articles were completed, she called again, and
gave orders respecting the packing of the articles,
to be sent to her country house at Margate, The
goods were packed up, and remained at the plain-
tiff's premises some time, but were afterwards deli-
vered at her Ladyship's house in Portman-street.
Mr. C. F. WILLIAMS, for the defendant, said, that
as the plaintiff had misconducted himself in the
grossest manner towards the defendant, her Lady.
ship intended to avail herself of the defence wititlt
his Learned Friend (the Common Sergeant) had
alluded to. He would prove that Lady Wellesley
was a married woman, though her Ladyship was
more anxious to show how improperly the plain-
tiff had acted than to nonsuit hint by proving her
coverture.

COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, Dfc. la.
The Court was occupied nearly the whole day in
the trial of an action upon a bond, the defence to
which Was, that an alteration had been made subse-
quent to the defendant's having attached his signa,
titre, and evidence was Called to show that the alte-
ration .consisted of an erasure of the name of one
of the parties to the bond, and of the substitution of
the name of another person. In reply to this, •wit-
nesses were called to prove that the objection had
since been Waved by one of the parties, but it was
submitted on the other side that the .objection was
one which could not be waved.

After a long and uninteresting trial, a verdict was
found for the plaintiff.
