VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
BROCKMAN V. ROTHSCHILD.
Mr. PEMBERTON applied in this case, with the consent
of all parties, to have it postponed till after Easter Term.
He also particularly wished to have a day named, as it
would be necessary for Mr. Rothschild to produce his
books in Court.

poned till after term, and it could be re-entered again for
the purpose of appointing a day.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
LORD DALHOUSIE V. CHAPMAN.

This action was sued before Lord Tenterden on Monday
last, and a verdict returned for the defendant. The plain-
tiff is Colonel of the 26th Regiment, and had empowered
a Mr. Gordon, to receive the money for the Regiment's
clothing; &c. and pay it to the clothiers. Gordon assigned
this power to the defendant, who is partner in the bank-
ing-house of Berries, Farquhar, and Co., and upwards of
5,000/. had been received by Mr. Chapman, and not paid
to the clothiers. The latter brought an action against
Lord Dalhousie for the amount of six half yearly bills for
clothing, &c. He brought this action against the de-
fendant, and failed as above stated.
Mr. GURNEY now moved for a rule nisi to set aside the
verdict, and obtain a new trial, on the ground of misdi-
rection on the part of the Learned Judge, contending that
the money was received by Chapman (after Gordon had
became bankrupt) for a specific purpose which he had not

The Court refused the rule, as there was no proof of the
goods having been delivered by the clothiers. The point
would be raised by their action against Lord Dalhousie.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

Mr. Sergeant MEREWEATHER applied to the Court for
a rule to show cause why the verdict in the case of a po-
licy of insurance effected in the Atlas Office, should not
be set aside, and a new trial granted under the following
circumstances:—

The action was at the last assizes for the county of So-
merset. The plaintiff had effected a policy of insurance
on the life of a person named House, who resided at War-
minster, and who, having married a lady of fortune, re-
moved to Bath, where he became addicted to habits of
continual intoxication. To remedy these habits he was
occasionally sent to his friends at Warminster, and they
starved him into temperance, and then returned him to
Bath, and to his old habits of drunkenness. The
consequence of this was, that at Bath his life was not
worth a month's purchase, while at Warminster he was
just such a life as an insurance-office would like to lay
hold of. While at Warminster the policy was effected,
and subsequently he died at Bath indulging to the last in
his usual habits of intemperance. The point at issue was
this. When House was applied to he said that a physician
named Vickery was in the habit of attending him, which
was not true, though Mr. Vickery did subsequently see
and certify him to be a good life. The question now was,
whether the misrepresentation of House could vitiate the
claim of the plaintiff, who was not proved to be cognizant
of such misrepresentation.
The COURT granted a rule to show cause.
