In the Court of Chaacery, Lincoln's Inn, on Sa-
turday, the case of ADOLPHUS v. Anoterws,
came cn before the LORD CHANCELLOR. It was a
petition of the City of London, to recover £.lOOO in
the 3 per cents. It appeared, that a person, appre-
hended for felony, made over the stock, in trust, to
another. He was tried, and convicted of the felony ;
the City of London claimed the expences, and the
Crown the stock, it having been forfeited by the con-
viction of the owner.--L-The ATTORNEY-GENERAL at-
tended on the part of the Crown.—The Loan CHAN-
CELLOR observed, that this case embraced so many
new points of great magnitude, that he would not
wish to hear it without the assistance of some of the
Judges ; but he thought the Learned Gentlemen at
the bar might make out a case to be tried by a Jury,
which would relieve the Court in a great measure.
He would wish they would consult together, and do
something of that kind before next term, to which
time he postponed the hearing of the cause.
Saturday, in the Palace Court, a case was tried,
Bishop, a horse-dealer, v. Salmon. It was brought
to recover the sum of seven guineas, that sum besng
the balaam of ten guineas, the price of a horse pur-
chased by the defendait, three guineas having been
paid at the time of the purchase. The plaintiff hay-
►ng proved his case, a defence was set up that Sal-
mon was only a servant to Wedmore, a coach mas-
ter ; *at he was employed by his master to buy a
horse to run in the Bromley coach, and that this was
the horse so bought—not on his own account at all,
but on Wadmore's. This was denied en the other
side, as Wadmore's name was lot mentioned at the
time of the purchase, and the sale of the horse was
booked to Salmon. Oa these points a verdict-was
taken foe the plaintiff.
