DOE OEM BOLD V. DEVANY.

The plaintiff in this case was called, and a verdict given
for the defendant.

SCA RISBRICK. V. THE LEEDS AND LIVERPOOL CANAL. CO.

This case was founded ou the case of Pye v. the same de-
rendants, and was brought to tmy the right of the defendants
to obstruct a vessel carrying manure for refusing to pay the
tolls demanded at the toll-gates on the canal. The right of

Mr. Searisbrick having 4,e—en fully proved in the former case,
verdict was consented to for the plaintiff with nominal dama-
of ls.

I'VE V. LEEDS AND LIVERPOOL CANAL CO.

This was also an action founded on the same point, and
was brought against the defendants for obstructing the plain-
tiff in loading a vessel with manure from the company's wharf
unless he would pay wharfage, which was refused. The facts
of the case were elicited, and a verdict was taken for the
plaintiff, damages Is., subject to a special case to be argued
before the court above.

REYNOLDS V. ROBINSON AND OTHERS.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, :Ur. John
Reynolds, the public officer of the National Bank of Ireland,
to recover front the defendants, corn merchants and brokers
in this town, for the amount of £2OO. The affirmative in this
case rested with the defendants, and their case was therefore
opened first. It appeared that the City of Dublin Steam
Packet Co. were: in the habit of giving bills of lading on the
receipt of cargo, which had to be produced, as signed by their
officer, on claiming the delivery of the cargo, loaded in Dub-
lin at Liverpool. These bills of lading were the repre-
sentatives of the cargo, and in them the value was vested,
and it was customary to accept on the receipt of them to
the amount of the cargo. It appeared that an individual
named Patrick Fegan had forged one of these receipts, or
bills of lading, of the City of Dublin Steam-packet Co.,
which he had got discounted at the National Bank, and they,
(the National Bank,) at its branch at Athlone had indorsed
this forged bill of lading and transmitted it to their agents,
the Bank of Liverpool, with a bill drawn by Fegan on the
defendant, to whom the nominal goods were consigned; and
the defendants, on seeing the endorsement of the National
Bank, knowing nothing of Fegan, accepted the bill. On
the arrival of the vessel it was discovered that the bill of
lading was a forgery; that theme were no goods on board as
described in the bill, and that consequently the defendants
received no value for their acceptance, and refused to meet
the bill o❑ its becoming due. The plaintiffs, therefore, came
upon them for the amount, saying that the defendants had
accepted Fegan's bill on their own responsibility; and that
their endorsement did not signify! The defendants counsel
said if this were the case, of what use was the endorsement
of the plaintiff if it implied no responSibility ?
The facts were proved as stated by the defendants, and the
plaintiff having no case, a verdict was found for the defen-
dants.

DOE DEM GREENOUGH V. ANDERSON.

This was an action of ejectment, brought by the plaintiff,
Mr. Gieenough, to eject the defendant, Mrs. Alice Ander-
son, from a cottage at Wigan, to which she imagined she
had obtained a right.

The jury found —a
verdict for the plaintiff. ,
SAMUEL. P. PERKINS AND OTHERS.
The plaintiff in this case is a timber-merchant at Mira-
michi, and the defendants, who in this transaction act toge-
ther, reside at Newport in Wales. It appeared that a Mr.
Pickford, one of the defendants, bought a cargo of timber
at Miramichi, and the defendants chartered a vessel to bring
home this cargo, and sent out the vessel under the care of a
captain named Andrews. On his arriving out there, the
party from whom Pickford had bought the cargo, refused to
ratify the bargain and send it to him, and the captain rather
than bring home the vessel in ballast, purchased a cargo on
the owners' account, and drew on his owners for the amount,
who would have to look to the charterers. On the voyage
home the vessel was lost near England, before the draft
came to band, and then the owners repudiated the cargo, it
not having been insured, and said the captain had purchased
the cargo without their authority. A number of timber,
merchants were called, who proved that the universal cus-
tom at Miramichi, when vessels could not get cargoes, was
either to get a charter, or to purchase a cargo of timber on
the owner's account; and that a vessel was never known to
return in ballast. _

The jury, after an absence of a quarter of an hour, found
a verdict for the defendant.
The court adjourned at six. o'clock.

CONSECRATION.—The new church at Colwyn, in the pa-
rish of Liandrillo yu Rhos, was consecrated on Tuesday, the
7th instant, by the Lord Bishop of St. Asaph, who, accom-
panied by his chaplain, (the Rev. Mr Roberts, of Llanrwst,)
arrived in Minvdon, the seat of Richard B. Clough, Esq.,
about eleven o'clock, and proceeded immediately to the
church, which was crowded upon the occasion, notwithstand-
ing the unfavourable state of the weather. The neighbour-
ihg clergy, about fourteen in number, attended the Lord
Bishop to the Church, where the service of the day was read
in a very impressive manner by the Rev. C. B. Clough, vicar
of Mold, and an excellent discourse by the Rev. T. Party,
vicar of the parish, from the 19th chap. of Leviticus and the •
30th verse, "Reverence my sabbaths"—in which he took oc-
casion to congratulate the original promoter of this good
work, (11.- B: Clough, Esq.,) and also J. 1.1. Wynne, E6q.,
and the. Rev. Mr. Boulger, who gave the laud on which the
edifice is built, dud the other contributors, on the completion
of a work of such vast importance to the parishioners in and
about the hamlet of Colwyn, the distance front which to the
parish church exceeds three miles, thus debarring the aged
and infirm from ever joining in the public service of the
church, and receiving that food so desirable and comfortable
to them in their declining years. After service and the cere-
mony of consecration, the Lord Bishop partook of a cold
collation provided-for him at Minydon, and returned 'to St.
Asaph, at four o'clock all the clergy partook of an excellent
dinner by special invitation of Mr. Clough, and at half•past
six proceeded to the church, where the evening prayers were
read by the Rev. Mr. Pughe, the newly-appointed minister
to the church, anti a most eloquent and appropriate sermon
was preached by the Rev. R. Davies, minister of St. Da-
vid's Church, Liverpool, in the' Welsh Language, to a most
crowded congregation, with his accustomed ability. The
collection amounted to £l3 2a. 90.
