LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.

The Court resumed its sittings this morning, fur the
rial of London Special .Tory cases.

REID, IRVING, AND OTHERS V. SMART.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of
5,000/., the amount of twenty three bills of exchange,
drawn by the defendant in favour of the house of Ken-
nedy and Maitland, on the house of Firebrace and Davison,
then carrying on business at Havre.
it appeared from the statement of Sir JAM FS SC ARLETT,
that previous to the bills in question becoming due Fire-
brace and Davison stopped payment, and tlae plaintiffs,
who are the celebrated brewers, conjointly with Messrs.
Lennox and Maitland, advanced the money to take them
up, t 9 save the credit of Kennedy and Maitland, who carry
on business in America. Firebrace and Co.'s failure being
known in America, Kennedy and Co. found it necessary
to suspend their payments, -o that the drawer was the
only solvent person to whom the plaintiffs could apply for
payment. The bills were made payable at Paris, and
the law of France differing in some respects from
the law of England, a number of witnesses were called
to prove that the bills had been duly protested
and notice of their dishonour given to the defendant.
France, by the code Napoleon, a bill is payable the clay it
becomes due, no three days' grace being allowed, and on
the next day if it is not paid it is protested by a notary,
who details all the circumstances in his protest, which is
taken as legal evidence in all the Courts of Europe.
Sense difficulty having arisen in proving that the plaintiff's
bed conjointly advanced the money, the Court directed a
nonsuit.
