shis conduct towards a lady who was on a visi
with Lord and Lady William Pant. This person
absconded after the issuing of the flat; and had riott
since surrendeted. Assignees were appointed, and
Mir solicitor now applied to prove for the benefit of
the estate for a sum of 7941. 6s. 4d. It appeared that
he had discounted bills for Goodered to the amount of
nearly 3,0001., and eight of those bills now were in
the hands of the assignee, and formed the grOund
of the claim:

The solicitor to the fiat objected to the admission
of this proof, on the ground that those eight bills,
of which Goodered was the drawer, were without
consideration.

After a lengthened investigation, this claim, as
well as several others, were ordered to stand over to
the 9th of December, when the further examination
will be resumed.

and title, residing in Grosvenor-square. The action
was brought to recover the sum of 3,51: for engraving

stated to the Court that Lady Hartley had sent her
butler to state that she would give her cheque for the
amount of debt- and costs sooner- than be further
troubled, although she stated that some of the charges
were unreasonably'.

The, Learned JUDGE, notwithstanding this intima-
tion, thought that some evidence ought to be produced
to the !Jury for the purpose of showing the work done.
SeVeral witnesses were then called, from which it
appeared that the plaintiff had engraved several seals
for the- defendant with coronets, arm; and supporters,
some of which had taken no less a time than a month
to complete, and the engraving alone of each was
valued at between 91. and 101. .

SECONDARIES' COURT,. Oct. 14.
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
JEPPS V. MILDOURNE.
Thii was an action brotight by the-plaintiff, who is
a hotise• agent, against the defendant, who is a house
proprietor, to recover 71. .os. for having
dispoied of certain houses for. the 'defendant. It ap-
peared froM evidence that the defendant had employed
plaintiff, who had advertised the houses in question
for sale, ,and had entered into negotiations with a gen-
tleman named Ford, for the purpose of disposing of
them.; those negotiations we're broken off; and about
a fortnight afterwards Mr.• Ford saw an advertisement
for the disposal of the same houses from Messrs. Mills
and Co., house-agents. He accordingly applied to
them; and•in consequence of the latter advertisement
purchased the houses., Mr. Jepps claimed the corn-
mission on the ground of an undertaking which he
said Mr. Milbourne had given to him to pay
him whenever the hoUseS in qUestion should be dis-
posed' of, whether, through his instrumentality or not.
The alleged undertaking was produced. It was
written in a book belonging to Mr. Jepps over a re-
ceipt given to him by 111 r. Milbourne for a sum of
243. rent, which 'was- -made one document, with the
undertaking, by making the latter conclude with the
conjunction "and:'.'. The receipt and date at the top
appeared to have been' written•' in- black ink, and the
undertaking in ink of a different colour.
There was evidence called asto the hand-writing, and
a witness, named Bowtell, deposed to having heard the
defendant make certainadtnissions, as to his liability
to pay the commission. •
For the defence it was contended that the alleged
undertaking was a forgery, which had been inserted
over the receipt, for the purpose of supporting the pre-
sent action.
The-Learned SECONDARY having summed up, the
Jury retired, and, after an absence of two hours, re-
turned a verdict for the defendant..
On the verdict being delivered, •
Mr. DOANE, on the part of the defendant, applied
to have the book impounded as a forgery.
The SECONDARY thought he had no power to im-
pound it. It was accordingly delivered to plaintiff's
attorney.
Mr. C. Jones appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Doane for the defendant.
