Wilmington and Stock Broktng.

While Wilmington has suffered considera-
bly, by the stringency of the times, and
many of the manufacturing industries have
been considerably crippled, others have
steadfastly maintained their own, and even
progressed in the face of all difficulties. A
visit recently to the different brokers Offices,
showed that that line of business has i'm
proved wonderfully in Wilmington, within
the last three years, which in that time has
increased very materially both in invest
ments and speculations. In years gone by,
this business for the Wilmington business
men was done through bankers and brokers
in New York and Philadelphia, but facili-
ties have been attained in this city, which
renders the patronizing of outside brokers,
altogether unnecessary, as it can be done
here precisely upon the same terms as in
the larger cities. The quotations Of all the
active New York and Philadelphia stocks
are received every half hour by telegraph
and full financial reports are furnished
upon enquiry. The business being done al
we'll here as in the larger cities has retained
at home, that which formerly went away tc
other markets, especially is this the case in
speculative stocks which has materially in
creased until now it averages fully thou
| sand shares week.

The Moot Court,

At the Moot Court, last evening, the case
of Powell g. Strong vs.. the Rector, warden
and Vestry of St. Peters Church was called.
Hilles and Murphey as counsel for the de-
fendents; Heisler and Harrington for the
plaintiffs.
The statement of the case is as follows:
This was an action to recover the balance
of On account for goods sold and delivered.
The plaintiffs were lumber merchants.
It was the universal custom for the rector
of this church to transact the business OF
the church, which power had been given
him by the church, and which fact was
communicated to the plaintiff at the time OF
the purchase. The plaintiffs sold to the
rector lot Of lumber to be used in making
repairs upon the church edifice. The lumber
was shipped and delivered to the church,
and was charged upon the plaintiffs books
to the rector by name, although 1t was
known and understood that the lumber was
for the church. Several payments were
made by the rector on the account OF the
defendents, and for the balance the rector
gave his individual promissory note, which
was afterwards renewed from time to time.
At the trial the defendents denied all liza
bility for the debt insisting that 1t was
that of the rector, Hunter, and not OF the
church; and, even assuming the debt to
have been that of the church, originally, the
PLAINTIFF having accepted the individual
note of Mr.. Hunter, they could have no
claim upon the church.
The court held accordingly and the
plaintiffs were non-suited. The plaintiffs
now appeal on the ground that the court
erred in holding that the debt was that OF
Hunter and not that of the church.
In Court of Appeals.
The defence held 1st. That Hunter
acting as agent for the church had ex-
ceeded his authority. 2nd. That parole evil
dence 10 not admissible. 3rd. If an agent
exceed his authority in signing the name
of his principal to note, the note is void
as to the principal. 4th. When party
dealing with an agent takes his promissory
note, with q knowledge of his agency, he
thereby discharges the principal.
The plaintiffs held 1st. That the debt was
that of the church, and not that Of Mr..
Hunter. End. Assuming the debt to have
been that Of the church, the acceptance OF
the individual note of Mr.. Hunter by the
plaintiffs, did not pass the liability from
the church to Mr.. Hunter.
The arguments on both sides were well
presented, and supported on good authori
ties.
Judge Maxwell presided in the case, and
reserved his decision.
