COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 14,

PASSENGER V. CLEGO.
Mr. PARKE, for the Plaintiff, stated this to be an
action on the part of the Assignees on the Bankrupt
Estate of a person of the tame of Vysack, to recover
from the Defendants, who were Country Bankers,
with whom the Bankrupt was accustomed to deal, the
sum. 0(A'324 10s. being monies paid into the deten-
dant': hands by the brother of the Bankrupt, poste.
rior to the 14th of August last, at which time he had
committed an act of bankruptcy, by quitting his
house to avoid his Creditors.

The proceedings under the Commission, so far as
related to the act of bankruptcy, the Petitioning Cre-
ditor's debt, and the assignment to the Plaintiffs,
were given in evidence, and the Bankers' shelved the
sum paid in, on account of the Bankrupt, on the 24th
of August and subsequent days, up to the time of
taking out the Commission, to be £324. 10s.
Mr. Gannow, for" the Defendants, contended that
under the Act of the 19th of George 11. the money
so paid to the Defendants on the Bankrupt's account,
could not be affected by any previous act of bank-
ruptcy, the defendants having no notice of any such
circumstance, and the sums so paid to themnot being
equal to the loans or accommodations given to the
Bankrupt by the defendants, and which these pay-
ments were meant to cover.

Mr. PARKE replied, that the accommodations al-
luded to were by bills running at the time of talain
out the Commission.

Lord ELLMOROVGII held, that the payments made
to the defendants after the act of bankruptcy, could
not be said to have been made out of the funds of the
Bankrupt, for he had ceased to have any effects, but
out of the funds of his Creditors. He should reserve
the point, however, that the Learned Counsel might
have the opinion of the Court upon it.
Verdict for the Plaintiff, subject to this reservation
—Damages £321. 10s.

FOSTER v. UOSINS.

Mr. PARKE stated this to be an action on a Bill of
Exchange for 0272. He was at a loss to conceive
what the defence was. His client was a most respec-
table man, and a Bill Broker. _ _

The hand-writing of the defendant, who was the
drawer of the bill, was proved, and also due notice
of its dishonour.

Mr. GARROW, for the defendant, argued, that a
payment of 13s. Bd. in name of commission, charged
by the plaintiff, at the time of discounting the bill,
in addition to the legal interest, contaminated the bill
with usury in its original concoction.
It appearing, however, that the plaintiff was a Bill
Broker, advancing the money of his employers, and
that the commission was only a per cent. which is
the usual charge in such transactions,
Lord ELLENBOROLVII held that every thing was
currect.—Verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages £272.

JONES AND CO. v. MORSE AND CO.
Mr. PARKE, for. the plaintiff, stated this also to be
an action on a Bill of Exchange, of which the defen-
dants were the drawers, and the plaintiffs the in-
dorsees.

He proved the hand-writing of the acceptor,
drawers, and indorsers, and also that notice of the
' dishonour had been made to the defendants by the
plaintiffs, on the next day after the bill was returned
,to the plaintiff.
Mr. Lawns contended, that the bill having been
returned to the plaintiffs in the forenoon, notice might
have been given to the defendants, who lived within
half an hour's walk, on the same day.
Lord ELLENBOROUGiI said, this point had-already
been sufficiently decided. A person was not bound
to gallop off the moment' a bill was returned to him,
and leaving off all other business, acquaint the pre-
ceding indorser of the dishonour of the bill the very
moment it was returned to him. He would be in
sufficient time to do so on the following day.
Mr. LAWS then objected, that it was laid in the
declaration that the bill was not, as it actually ap-
peared to be, in the hand-writing of one of the defen-
dants, but, both their own proper hands being
thereto subscribed." On this ground, he submitted,
that the plaintiff must be non-suited.
Lord ELLENBOROII43II wished not to turn round
the plaintiff on an objection of this kind. If it had
borne to be " their own proper band," there could
I have been no objection, the hand• of one, being to
this effect, the hand of both ; the additional s. was
only a surplus. He should not, therefore, turn the
plaintiff round, but make a minute of the objection.
Mr. LAwEs again objected that the declaration ran
,6 value received on leather," whereas the bill was
value delivered in leather.

Lord ELLENBoxovoil thought there was nothing
in this objection, if it it had been delivered by the one
it must have been received by the other.
Verdict for the Plaintiff, subject to the point re-
served.

neas, for a Herefortl ex, and a pen of one-year old new Leicester
wethers.

To Mr. John Terrett two prizes, amounting to forty guineas,
