12314 National Bank and Loan Company Va.
Levi Dunn ct al Hamilton @ c. Affirmed.
Niblack, I'LL That deposition was taken
without authority of law is an objection to be
interposed before entering upon the trial. IT,
In a suit upon a note, where the defendant an
swered that the note was given for the purchase
price of neutrality-suspicious., which proved de-
fective and was returned, evidence concerning
the return of the belt subsequently cannot be
regarded as immaterial, for if the defendant had
sufficient cause to rescind as to the engine. his
right extended to the belt IT, In such suit
question to a witness who had stated that he
owned and operated an engine OF the same pat
tern, asked with view to ascertain, in an in
ferential way, the possibility of another engine
OF the same make, is not improper AL AS to
evidence showing that notice of the defective
condition of such engine was given within a
reasonable time to the sellers, see opinion.

1868. Josiah Norton va. State. Vieo @. G.
Affirmed Howk I'LL An omission to call
the names of the jury before their verdict is re-
ceived is not fatal error unless it appears that
the jury did not all appear when their verdict
was rendered in open court. "a The bill of ex-
ceptions fails to disclose the grounds upon which
the appellant moved to quash the venire, and it
Is not the duty of this court to search for causes

1905. City of Logansport vs. David Hum
phrey. Cass G. c. Affirmed Elliott 1.-The
effect of the rule that the judgment on appeal is
the law of the case throughout subsequent

Boycotting recalls the circumstance that after
the coup d'etat the Republican Deputies pro-
posed to boycott Napoleon III. In one of their
conferences deputy suggested that trade and
commerce isolate the despot LET not the
baker bake, nor the brewer. brew, nor the carpen-
ter build, nor the butcher slay, for fortnight;
then the dictator will be starved out" Such
was the programme. 1t was about to be adopted
when country deputy rose il corner of the
apartment and suggested, to complete the isola-
ton, that nobody eat for fortnight. The pro-
gramme was abandoned.
