T HOLMES v H DEAN - CLARKE for defendant. £5 for breaking in a horse. Plaintiff engaged to break in horse defenant had on trial from Mr HONEYSETT - Value £50; before the horse was thoroughly quiet, HOLMES engaged with Mr HEARD and requested that it should be handed over to TARRANT to finish. TARRANT had the horse in plough, but it was so timid that he did not venture to put it in his team, as requested; knowing its value he was afraid to run any risk. It was eventually returned to HONEYSETT, who said the horse was perfectly quiet when he handed him over to DEAN, so that he wanted no breaking-in. Mr DEAN was willing to make good his agreement; he had offered to pay £5 when the horse was quiet enough for him to manage; the last time HOLMES rode it he was afraid to get on him till he had led him from his stables to those of Mr HEARD, when the horse was placed in the stall before HOLMES would mount him; he (Mr DEAN) had too much regard for his life to ride the horse, it was! consequently returned.

H J LAVERS v Alfred JACKSON - £2 1s 7d goods sold. Verdict for plaintiff. E BAYLY v SIMPSON - £5 compensation for trespass of eleven head of cattle. JAMES for plaintiff. Mr BAYLY had suffered so much from Mr SIMPSON's cattle that he found it was no use impounding them; on the night in question eleven head had got into his garden and destroyed his peach trees, vines, &c.; he drove them to SIMPSON's and after a long effort to wake them up, an old man took delivery. He did not seek the £5 for the sake of the money, but rather to put a stop to the annoyance and loss he had so long suffered. Mr SIMPSON called witneses to prove that the cattle in question did not belong to him, and that Mr BAYLY's fence was not sufficiently good enough to keep out cattle. The case occupied a considerable time and was eventually dismissed on account of the Bench being equally divided in their opinion. W BALL v LYONS - £7 postponed. E G ROSE v A MURDOCH - £7 goods sold. Settled. T E MILLS v J KIRKNESS - £5 promissory note. Settled. W RAMSAY v W LYNES - £1 1s medical attendance. Settled. W RAMSAY v B BACHELOR - £2 7s 6d medical attendance. Settled.
