Mr. Git.ENFELL • then rose and moved for the
printing of an, account that • had been.preseuted_of

sotto. The sobject•might not Imeafficiently tinder-
stood by many, without the. printing of this-acceent.
—This was a point which he bad sot before entered
upon, but on which heahaald say beta few words.
It had been the practiakof eta Bank, far some years'
put, to send two, throe, or four clerks daily to
Exchequer,
,to take monies received en *meet of
the public revenue. • This habit and. the practice of
the Bank was to depoait in the Exchequer Eiehequer
Bills which boa en Interest ; bat qn interest.for the
advantage of .whom ? not of tberablic, but of the.
,Funk. They
.might haves million today, and get a
million on the neat day, ad./aura the mute Excite.
quer Bills *hick thpy had eettifed On the lint day,;..—
Last year sums received in this, practice amounted to
4,500,0001. on a fair .average. He concluded by
droving the printing of the account.
Mr. MANNING, in a lee tone of voice, said he
had no right to call
.upon the Honourable Member
for information as to .hid intended :objects, but it
ir mild be more convenient if same notice were given
on such subjects. All who were acquainted. with the
business must know, that since the establishment of
114.4r0k, the prattice adverted. to had existed. It
ri tedeithhdeily practice to send the clerks to the
• Achequer. It was.proper to deposit a security, and
that was effected by Exchequer .Bills, which appear.'
ed to be the moat complete and available kind of se-
curity that could be used. The lank had the &tithe.
silk of Parliameni for puichasing Exchequer Bills,

Bent, thrill aithorited, deposited Exchequer. Bills
' parchased, with Government, he could see nothing
Monstrous in the transiction. This business'appeir..
eJ to him to be a convenient and wholesome opera-
tion.

L 4 INTELLIGENCE.
' COURT .OF HMO's• BENCH, Fee. 16.
S.OLSCIIMAN 12..MACHIN AND DERENISAD.
This was an action In tro,er,.to recover from the
Defendant the value of two pianci-fortes, under the
following circumstances :
The Plaintiff it a mnsical instrument-maker, rind
is in the habit of lending them as well as. selling.
A person named Browne, whose wife it a wader' of
Music, was in the habit of Hiring instruments from'
the Plaintiff for the pupils of his wife, 'and occa-
sionally selling such instruments on commission.
Two instruments were tent to Mr. Browne by the
Plaintiff, a grand piano and a square one; the larger
upon hire at the rate of 18s. Or *Math, if taken for
twelve months certain ; bat if for a shorter time,
then at one geinea per month—the smaller one ar, a
lesser price, with instructions to sell it if hecovtd
but with an injunction to Mr. Browne, that be seas
to be answerable to the Plaintiff for both instrument.,
or the price of them, and not any person for whose
use Mr. Browne hired them.
In' some time afterwards the Plaintiff discovered
that both instruments had been sent for sale to the
section of the Defendant, and were inserted in his
catalogue as numbered lots for public sale. He im-
mediately consulted his Attorney, and served a no.
tire on the Defendant, that those instruments %ere
his property, and only entrusted to Mr. Browne for
hire, and demanded either the delivery of the instru-
ments back to him, or the price at which they were
rated by Mr. Browne. The Defendant stayed the sale
in the first instance; but refused to surrender the in-
struments, unless he should be first repaid a sum of
money advanced to Mr. Browne upon them • bat
offering to ;ell the articles, and return to the 131airs-
tilt the surplus of the seal advanced to Mr. Browne.
This the Plaintiff related, and sent a second written
notice, not in that stating the circumstance of hire,
bait demanding the instruments, which, however, the
Defendant refused, and the Plaintiff brought his ac-
, doh.
Tim Court was of. opinion that the onus lay on the
'Defendant to look to the title of the person to whom
he advanced his money on those articles; but that
after his refusal to deliver them to the owner on doe
notice, was a conversion to his owe ass, end there-
to,. that the owner was entitled to recover of him as
with respect to the larger instrument, which being
proved to have been lent to Browne on hire, was
Nearly consigned to the Defendants for sale, in
breech of contract. With respect to the smaller In-'
strument, the proof of hire was not so clear ; but it
was for the Jury to decine, whether it was givers rtn•
hire or given en trust whin sold on ,commission; for 1
in the latter case, (rover would only lie against
Browne, and not against the Defeudirnts, as Bros osi,
if he had received the article on commission for aloe,
had a legal right tq dispose of it by auction, he Mk*
answerable to the Plaintiff.
The Jury were of opinion that both were tent as
hire, and found for the Plaintiff'—Damages seventy
guineas.

the following circumstances) skit* appeared in etii•
deuce :

The Plaintiff is the widow and eaecetrit of a star- I
'chant at BirMinghern deceased. Previties t 6 the
'year 1814, a sum of ;bow 10,0001. was oiling to
the deceased by debtors in France. During the reign
of terror in that country, masy et these debts were
' ordered to be paid in to the use of the then French
Government. After 1844 the new French Govern.
meta had agreed that theae several sums sholid be
paid otter to the English creditors. The eldest of
the deceased, upon this, sent the Defendant, whoii
married tb lift daughter; accompanied by her sash',
who bad been in partilerstliP with his fhthett to
France to recover the debit. They west wader an
impress expectation of completing their Woes in a
