tY pARTE GALLIMORE re Geo.lmottt.
This was the p::tition of the bankrupt, praying
that the commission which had been issued against
trim might b.• superseded, and that the pe:itioning
creditor might be ordered to pa) the costs.
The case was argued during the grev.ter part of
yesterday, and the whole of this clAy, by Sir S. 110.
DULLY; Mr. CuA.Lem, and Mr. BELL, on the part ,rf
the petitioner; and by Mr. Leach, Mr. Como:, and
Mr. SHADWELL. on behalf of th • pett,ioning creui-
tOr. Mr. WEIZAILSY was retained r.ir the same side,
but declined saying any thing,. as he conceived the
matter had been most ably and fully argituti by the
Learned Opntlemen who preceded him. .:air S. Im-
bit:A.lr is to reply on Monday next, till which day we
reserve the details of this case, which is of consider.
able importance to persons engaged in trade, from
the various cases cited by the Bat as constituting
acts of bankruptcy.

COURT OF KiNG'S BENCH, JANUARY 26.
slit .1()H\ LUBBOCK AND CO. 1,. INGLIs.

We stated the Nets oft is case in the Wile of he
Sittings at Westminster after last Term. It was
action against the London Dock Company for the
value of 750 hides belonging to the plaintiffs, deli-
vered cub of the warehouses of the CompAy by
means or forgery of the signature of a person of • the
name of Btoattmead. Tie verdict was given in fa-
vollr of the praititiii; the amount of damages having
been referred to Mr. BOLLAND.

The ATT orrnee-GeNEttah to-day moved to 'et
aside the vcro:icr. ,n the ground that a fact had been
ditc:osed since the trial, which, it it did not entAely
relieve the responsibility of the Dock Company, at
male them liable only for nominal damages'.
foreery under which the hides were refill-
qu.shed by tie Company, the Taylors, who bad been
the p,:tintiff's skin brokers, had. been recently tried
any cluilted. The fact, however, was nit to be.
cl-nio-1„oad i: was the foundation of the plaintiff's
sl:rn.o% t. 1 ant tred in evidence at the Old Bailey,
that before e hank. uptcy of the Taylors, the ptain-
tiffs nad been apprized that the golcts were act
in toe wArehouses ol their brokers, and that
s had rettlested that the supdosed contract w ith
Bro.odniead should not be enforced. Ti:e p 1 tintiffs
CODSCIaIe4 .0 cfons.der of the point, and waited until
alter the oaokruptcy of the*Taylors, before and no-
tice WA, given to the Dec'c Company, that the hides
bad 'teen improperly delivered out of their ware.
houses, though ti:e had been made acquain-
ted with the ta:.! some time bdore the f Inure of the
brokers. This addizional fact was the ground for
the application.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—Whether that fact destroys
the plaintiff's riglit of action may be a question, but
it appears to be very material. It Sir J. Lubbock
and Co had given due notice to the Company, the!
latter, by the common law remedy of a writ of re-'
plevin, might have instantly re-posse4sed themselves
of the hides. Before a plaintiff charges :mother
party on the ground of negh6ence, he must shew
that he did all in his po eer tot prevent the mischief
of which he complains. Rule to shew cause granted.
• CLARKE V. HARVEY.

This was a qui tam action, under the 49th Geo. 111.
c. 126, for more effectually preven,ir g the sale and
brokerage of offices. The defendant, the printer
and pubiisher of a morning newspaper. i.iserted an ad-
vertisement, purporting to be an offer of £lOO or
rell.ro to any person who could procure for the adver-
tiser a permanent mercantile appointment under Go-
vernment, or under certain public establishments
named in the act, which imposed a penalty of 450
for so doing, which the plaintiff sougt.t to recover
at the sittings alter last term. The verdict was given
against the defendant.
Mr. Cuawoon moved to arrest the judgment on
two grounds, first, That the advertisement in ques-
tion was not properly set out in the record, it being
stated to be an offer of a sum of money for a promise
of an appointment, instead of an offer for an ap.
pointment ; two very different things, as a person
might be very willing to give £lOO ter a place, aid
very unwilling to give the same sum for the mere pro-
_ mist of a place at a future time. The second ground
was that it the words of the advertisement pegs to
Ire relied upon, they did not with sufficient accuracy
and precision serout the'offence, consit:eiing tliat the
present was a penal action, requiring as distinct an
averment as an indictinent for perkiry, ur fur obtain-
ing money under take pretences ; at least the terms
Ot the•advertisement ought to brink the charge strictly
within the statute.

Lord ELLENSOROVGII.II You need not put an.
lnuendo on rhe terms ot. the advertisement to explain
them. if in the plain sense of the words, they bring,
the offence within the statute. NO. doctrine has been
carried to a more extravagant extent thin that of
inueados ; it generally proceeds upon the supposition
that the language has no grammar, and the Jury no
understanding."
Mr. CURWOc4D submitted, that the advcitisement
was spec;fically for an appointment, whereas the
words of the act were" place, olE:e, inployment.",
Mr. Justice liameis referred Mr. Car -:ood to the
4th and sth sections of the statute, wt L.:t the word
appointment was inserted.
The Court, rejecting the words of the declaration
on which the first objection was founded as sur- '
plusage, and not finding any ground for the second,
the rule Ni,i was refused. •

BAKING AND co. V. COME AND CO.

A verdict was given !or tar plaiuLitf, damages
£1,423. Ss. 6d. at the last Sittings at Guildhall. It
WAS au action forthe value of 51./hogsheads of sugar,

which. the plaintiffs esitended the defesklents had
bought through the medium of Coles and Co. their
brokers. The case excited considerable interest, in
consequence of the reprobation given to the practice
of brokers dealing also as merchants, which here
occasioned the principal difficulty. The real question
was, whether the defendants had a TWA to set off
the value of these sugars against a larger debt, due
from Cafes and Co. at the time of their bankruptcy,
to them, they having knowledge that Coles and
Co. were merely agents for the plaintiffs, and be-
lieving them to be acting as principals in the transac-
tion. The.plaintiffs, OR the contrary, insisted that
the sugars were their property, that Coles and Co.
were only their brokers, and that the defendants were
consequently liable to them.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now moved for a new
trial on all the three grounds, that the verdict was
against law, against the evidence. and contrary to
the direction of the Chief Justice.—Rule granted.

THE KING V. PHILPOTS.

A criminal information had been moved for,
against the defendant. at the suit of the Rev. Mr.
Halifax, and.the rule to shew cause was enlarged
from the last Term.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that an explana-
tion had since taken place between the parties, who
had formerly been- on terms of intimacy, and that
he understood the prosecutor was satisfied with the
apology Mr. Phil is w,s ready to make publicly,
viz. that h's mis Conduct had beet, occasioned by
temporary irritation at what he imagined a provoca-
tion en the Fa 01 Mr. Ha►ttaz.
