This was the case recently tried at great Exchequer Court-an action against a firm of manufacturers for supplying cotton goods in an unmerchantable atate, by reason, 18 was alleged, of improper sizing," which caused mildew. The jury after a protracted trial found in favour of the plaintiff for damages to the amount of £1,578 and this was an application upon the part of the defendants for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence.
Mr Harscholl, Q. C., now moved, on the i part of the defendants, for a rule to sati aside the verdict, and for a new trial, on the ground that the verdict was against the weight of evidence. The action, he said, was not for sizing the goods, for the plaintiff knew they would be heavily sized, but for their being so mildewed as to be un- merebantable, in consequence of the sizing. He urged that the microscope failed to discover any trace of the fungoid growth which constituted mildew that the plaintiff's exporimonta were fallacious, and that those for the defendants showed that there was no milden, but only dies lor. atlon that was caused by the plaintiff's own packing of the goods-a packing in tarpaulin.
The Lord Chief Justice asked whether the verdict.

THE AFGHAN WAR, A special telegram from Kandahar to a contemporary gives the following account of the late attack on General Biddulph's rear-guard.
Mr Herecholl sald there could be no doubt of it, for he had largely contributed to it, by telling the jury that the export ment made by Professor Thompson- wit- neas for the plaintiff-afforded them ashort cut to a conclusion in his favour (the ex pariment as to the transmission of the alleged mildew to other cloib, and its sub- sequent growth thereon); though the ex- periment, after all, was fallacious, for it only showed a mere aprend of the discolora
The Lord Chlef Justice observed that, if the Lord Chief Baron took so strong a view in favour of the plaintiff, he would probably present the same view to the jury on another trial of the cause.
Mr Herschell observed that perhaps the Lord Chief Baron might not try the cause a second time (it being a Queen's Bench cause).
Boru judges sat to-day In Summary Juris diation, but the cases were mostly aninter- eating, An application was made, by Mr Holmes, on behalf of Mr Smith of Mesers. Blackhead & Co., to take out of Court a eum of $851, which had been paid in by Mr Theodore Pustan tu satisfaction of a Judgment debt,
The appliation was opposed by Mr Wotton, on behalf of the official assignee, who claimed this sum as forming part of the bankrupt esiste of W. Pustan & Co. It appears that the money of Mr Theo, Partau had been stopped at the Bank by the official asignes, but subsequently a petition was made to allow of a compromise, by giving Mr T. Pustan contmand of a portion of the money; but as the creditors refused to allow Mr W. Pustay any money out of the state to go to Hamburg, the Chief Justice had refused the petition. His Lordship now said that the proper course would be to lake out an oy all the theatre orchestras. There never ALL the colonies have the loafer question an irrigation channol, and he was out up appearance in this case was quite new, -aud

Mr Justice Mellor observed that it would be a strong thing to set aside a verdict in which the Vudgo concurred.
Mr Herschell said. the Lord Chief Baron took a strong view against the defendants and urged that the evidence did not justify it.

The Lord Chief Justice observed that the cause had been tried in the metropolis.

The defendants called the witness who had the care of tho ingredients, one of which, no doubt, was chloride of magnesia, but another was a compound of zine, an antiseptic.
