COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

O'CONNOR AND OTHERS V. MARJORIBANKS.
The plaintiffs were Miss O'Connor and Miss Ross iter,
administrators of the late George Garrow, Esq., of
Madras, and the defendants were the bankers well
known as Coutts and Co. The action was brought in
trover to recover 6501., the value of a chest, of plate,
which was detained by the defendants under guarantee
of indemnity from a gentleman named Hodgson, who
claimed a lien on the plate to the amount of 2501.,
the principal, and a further sum, the interest
of a bill of exchange drawn by the late
Mrs. Garrow on, and accepted by her husband,
The ease for the defendant (conducted by Mr. Ser-
geant Born.As) was that the plate was lodged with
the defendants as a security for the bill of exchange,
when they discounted the latter. A number of wit-
nesses were examined in support of this statement.
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, for the plaintiff, argued
from the evidence, at great length, that Mrs. Garrow
hadno authority from the husband to pledge the plate,
which was lodged in the care of Coutts and Co. only
for its security.
Mr. Justice CAMPBELL summed up.—Verdict for
the defendants.

ACCIDENT TO LADY. FITZROY SOMERSET.—(FROM
A CORRESPONDENT.)—WC regret to state that her Lady-
»hip met with an unpleasant accident on Saturday
at Deal Castle, by a heavy roller-blind (with an iron
rod, &e.. attached to it) falling upon her head, which
was much cut and bruised. The effusion of blood that
followed was very great, but we arc happy to add that
under the skilful treatment of Dr. M'Arthur and Mr.
Watt (surgeon of Deal), her Ladyship is rapidly re-
covering.
