VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.

A CAUTION TO COUNTRY COMMISSIONERS.
Mr. KNIGHT, with whom was Mr. RICHARDS,
moved that all the evidence taken before certain
Commissioners of Bankruptcy, in Yorkshire, might
be suppressed, in consequence of misconduct on their
part. It appeared that a witness named Stead had been
sent before the Commissioners, his evidence having
been previously written out by a solicitor. The
Commissioners examined him from the paper which
had been so prepared, but on the return of the wit-
ness, the solicitor suspecting, from the short-
ness of the time which the examination had
occupied, that he had not sworn through
the entire paper, questioned him as to that fact.
The witness admitted that he had torn off part of
the paper, upon which the solicitor again sent him
before the Commissioners, in order that he might
supply the deficiency.
Mr. PErvs and Mr. COOPER opposed the motion,
and contended that the solicitor had by no means
acted improperly in taking down the testimony
which the witness was to give, such being con.
stantly the practice particularly in the law courts.
Mr. COOPER followed on the same side.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said that the evidence
of Stead ought certainly to be suppressed; but
he did not think that it would be fair to
argue from the misconduct of the Commissioners in
one instance, to their misconduct in the case of every
witness.

IN RE BRUCE.

Mr. BRUCE was proceethwg to open his petition
when

Mr. KNIGHT said—l don't wish to interrupt this
gentleman, but I hope that your Honour will allow
me to move when he has done,—if that time shall
ever arrive.—(A laugh.)
His HONOUR assented, and Mr. Bruce proceeded
with his case.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
BARRETT V. DEERE.

This was an action brought by a wine-merchant
in Mark-lane, against a gentleman of property re.
siding in rterks, to recover 71. Ms., the amount oi
his bill.

It was admitted that the wines were delivered,
and l/. Bs. was paid into Court, so that 6/. 6s. was
the sum in dispute.
The defence was that the amount claimed had
been already paid, and a servant of the defendant's
swore that he had gone to the plaintiff's counting-
house, in Mark-lane, and pa►d the sum to a clerk
sitting inside the counter, who turned to an account
book, and gave a receipt signed James Young, for
Barret and Co.

The plaintiff proved that be never had a clerk
in his employment of the name of Young, and that
his receipts were never given in the name of Bar-
ret and Co.

Lord TENTERDEN told the Jury, that if they be-
lieved the witness for the defendant, they must
find against the plaintiff. It was no matter
whether the plaintiff had a clerk named Young,
if a person sat in the counting-house representing
a clerk, his acts must be considered those of the
plaintiff himself, as it was not likely that he would
allow an improper person to have the ewe of his
counting-house.--Verdict for the defendant.
