THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. TILLSLEY.

This was an information ;filed against the defendant, who
was a brick-maker in Staffordshire, charging him with having
in the month of September last manufactured a quantity of
bricks upon which the duty had net been paid.
It appeared from the statement of Counsel and the evidence
adduced, that after bricks are moulded, they are raised into
hacks or heaps, when they arc counted by the Excise officers,
and when the amount of duty on them is then ascertained. The
makers are in no case at liberty to take them to the kiln to be
dried :until this has been done. In the month of September
last the Excise-officers thought they had reason to suspect that
the quantity of bricks in the kilns of the defendant was greater
than that for which the duty had previously been paid. They
proceeded to the spot, and mentioned their suspicions to him,
when he told them that there were then in the kilns, besides
the fresh bricks, 3,000 more, which had before been burnt., but
which had been found too so t. The officers on drawing. the
kilns found that the entire number of bricks in them at the
time amounted to 54,681, while the number of unburnt bricks
on the premises of the defendant. upon which the duty had been
paid, amounted only to 42,815, leaving a surplus of 11,866.
The officers of the Excise proved the case fur the Crown.
They admitted that it was not unusual to dry a second time in
the kilns bricks which had already been burnt, and on which
the duty had been paid. Last season was-very wet, and as
the bricks were consequently softer than they generally are,
a greater number of them required to be re-burnt. They wore
told by the foreman of the defendant that his bricks that sea-
son should be unusually hard, as they were to be used by a
Caral Company.
Shaw Whalley, foreman to the defendant, deposed that to
his knowledge no bricks on which the duty had not been paid
had been placed in the kiln at the period in question; but a
great number had been put in to be re-burnt.
The Jury, after deliberating for some time in their box, re-
turned a verdict for the defendant.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

VEITCH V. RUSSELL.

In this action, which has been before the Court for three
days, the plaintiff is a medical gentleman, residing at Rich-
mond, and the defendant, a lady, at 1% hose request the plaintiff
attended for a considerable period of the ye, rs 1839 and 1840 on
her brother. The parties had been on friendly terms, and defend-
ant having requested Dr. Veitch to send his bill, ha sent one ac-
cordingly, amounting to 150 guineas, to which Mrs. Russell
object, das being too high, and offered 701. It appeared from
some letters of Mrs. Russell that she conceived some reduction
was due for her kindness to the plaintiff's daughter, who had
been boarding in her neighbourhood at Bayswater,
and for hospitality afforded to the plaintiff himself.
It was proved for the plaintiff that the expenses of cab hire in
visiting Mrs. Russel's brother cost him 50/. and it was stated
that he was at other expenses of the same description to a large
amount, but which he was not in a position to prove.
The Attorney General and Mr. Peacock appeared for the
plaintiff, and Messrs, Thesiger, Warren, and Bovill for the
defendants.

His Loanstur, in his charge to the Jury, left it to them to
say whether, from the evidence in the case, they were of opinion
that there was any implied contract to pay, beyond the fact of
mere attendance, which fact would not of itself constitute any
legal right on the part of the plaintiff. Such a state of things
may haw arisen with the Greek and Roman orators, or it
may have originated in the middle ages with the monks, who
professed physic, and who were dead in law ; or as appeared more
probable to him, it originated from the extreme difficulty of
estimating set vices merely intellectual; and if they were of
opinion that such implied contract did exist, to what amount ?
The Jury returned, after an absence of about twenty mi-
nutes, with a verdict for the defendant.

INSOLVENT COURT.-THIS DAY

IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS ATKINSON.

The: insolvent in this case was a member of the Society of
Friends, and in conjunction with a person named Kennet, the
proprietor of extensive salt mines in Cornwall. 11;s discharge
was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on behalf of Mr. Thomas Williams,
who claimed as a creditor for 5851. I2s. 9d. Also for Mr.
Bennett of Manchester. After a short hearing
The COURT ordered the case to stand over to next Thurs-
day, and in the mean time the insolvent was to file certain
books in detailing the partnership accounts.

IN RE lIENRY LOUIS DELPLANQUE.
The insolvent described himself as a dancing master, and had
been in the habit of teaching at various schools and private
families in the neighbourhood of Kensington, Hammersmith,
and other suburban districts.

In the insolvent's examination, he stated that a short time
before last Easter, he applied to this Court to be discharged, but
the arrest being a friendly one, the detaining creditor dis-
charged him. His reason for being arrested was to endeavour
to induce his creditors to compound their claims. His debt
with the opposing creditor, Mr. Richardson, of the Bell and
Anchor, Hammersmith, was for board and lodging and for the
keep of a horse and gig, which, upon being unable to meet
Mr. Richardson's demands, he took away and sold to a friend.
He was in custody at present, at the suit of an attorney named
Cross.

Mr. Commissioner BowaN remanded the case until the de-
taining creditor was present to give evidence, and in the mean-
time let the insolvent produce any book of pupils he may
have kept.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TAT TERSALL'S—YESTERDA Y.
Owing to the absence of several members, at the opening of
Parliament, the attendance was smaller than on Monday, and
the betting much less animated. In one instance, however,
it was interesting, inasmuch as a bet of 11 to ragainst
Chatham to 251. served, in some measure, to calm the fears of
his backers, excited by his decline on Monday, and a report
thrt, in consequence of sickness in the stable, he had been sent
to Marson's. Auckland was backed for about 1501., at 23 to 1,
and amongst others the Diree colt and the Artful Dodger were
in frequent demand. The Chester Cup betting was confined to
Lanercost, who was backed for upwards of 1001. at ten to 1.
