EX I'AR'TE .----.

Mr. FOLLETT moved for a rule to show cause why
an attorney of the name of William Berry should
not be struck off the roll of the court, or why he
should not answer the matters of the affidavits. The
Learned Counsel stated that a person residing in
Devonshire had died in 1826, leaving three daughters,
who became entitled to his property. Mr. Berry,
professing great regard for the daughters, applied to
them to allow him to manage their affairs. It ap-
peared that their father being indebted to a creditor
in a sum of 401. had deposited some of his title-
deeds as a security. The father was also indebted
to other persons, and his property was under incnm-
brances. For the purpose of discharging those in•
cumbrances, Mr. Berry advised the ladies to endea-
your to get the title-deeds out of the hands of the
creditor, and sell the property. The ladies acceded
to this suggestion, and Mr. Berry got possession of
the title-deeds on an undertaking to the creditor that
the daughters should execute a bond. The bond was
accordingly prepared and executed, and the property
was sold. The ladies subsequently applied to Mr.
Berry for his account, and he then made out a bill
of costs amounting to 106/., and in his account made
himself debtor for 861. He, however, took credit
for a sum of 81/. for which some of the title-deeds
had been deposited, as if he had actually paid that
sum out of the proceeds of the property, but on in-
quiry it was discovered that instead of paying it, he
had given his promissory note for the amount, and
on the note becoming due he bud not paid it. Pro-
ceedings were instituted against Mr. Berry, and a
judgment obtained. Mr. Berry, however, had not
paid the money, nor had he paid over the money for
which the estate had been seld. _ _

The COURT thought that they could only call
upon the party to show cause why he should not
pay over the sum for which he had taken credit in
his account and not paid. The Learned Counsel,
after pressing unsuccessfully to have the 861. in-
cluded, took the rule.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 3.
SYMONDS V. HODSON.

This case came before the Court upon a demurrer
to the pleadings. It was an action on a policy of
insurance on a ship called the Clarence, of Bristol.
The vessel, on her voyage from St. Petersburgh to
London, struck on some rocks off the coast of
Sweden, and put into Elsinore to repair. To enable
him to pay for the repairs, the Captain borrowed
money of the plaintiff, secured by bond on the bottom
of the ship, but to be paid within eight days after
his (the Captain's) arrival in England, whether the
vessel arrived or not. The plaintiff insured his in-
terest in the vessel with the defendant; and the ship
was afterwards lost at sea.—Demurrer allowed.
