The remainder were settled out of court. CORNWALL COUNTY COURTS. Bodmin. – At this court, held on the 7th instant, Mr. L. D. GEACH, an insolvent, who had kept the Prince of Wales Inn, at Penzance, was opposed by Mr. WALLIS on behalf of the detaining creditor. Mr. POLKINGHORNE, of Penzance, and also for Messrs. LEMON, HART, and Co. of London, on the ground that he had contracted debts without a reasonable expectation of paying them, and that he had given a fraudulent preference to his wife. It appeared that he sustained a great loss by a fire, which was the cause of his insolvency and bad debts. By deed of assignment he assigned the whole of the good s he was possessed of for the benefit of his creditors, most of whom executed the deed. There also existed a marriage settlement which enabled his wife to sell the goods stated therein, to the disappointment of the opposing creditors. Mr. T. COMMINS, in support of the insolvent, contended that the grounds of opposition were not established and the insolvent was entitled to the bene! fit of the art. After being sworn to his schedule he was allowed to pass. Truro. – At the monthly court on Friday last there were seventy-five cases; one of which occupied the court a considerable time. It was a case of alleged breach of warranty of a horse. The plaintiff was Mr. George WYATT, confectioner; and the defendant Mr. William TEAGUE, brewer; both of Truro. Mr. EDWARDS appeared for plaintiff’ Mr. CHILCOTT for defendant. Mr. Edwards stated that shortly before the 5th of March the plaintiff having had a horse strain himself, required another, and went on that day, with Jonathan Rowe, a currier and leather cutter, to the defendant to treat for the horse in question; and it was alleged on behalf of the plaintiff, that on his making very particular inquiries of the defendant, the latter said he would warrant the horse to be sound, quiet, and staunch in harness; that on this warranty the plaintiff bought the horse for £14; that the horse proved to be neither quiet nor staunch in harness, but, on the contrary, vicious, restive, and ! a resolute confirmed jibber; that the defendant refusing ot take back the horse or refund the purchase money, the horse was sold for auction for £9 5s; and the plaintiff now claimed the difference between that sum and £14, together with the amount of some expenses incurred. The case between parties was one of conflicting evidence, both as to warranty, and as to the character and conduct of the horse. At its close, his HONOR gave judgment for plaintiff, for £6 0s. 6d. – There were also the following insolvency cases: – Henry ROSSITER, late of Kenwyn Street, Truro, watch and clock maker, jeweler, silver and goldsmith. At the April sitting this insolvent came up for final order; but, judgment having been obtained against him on the day he filed his petition the Judge refuse to grant final order until that judgment had been satisfied. His brother, from Penzance, now appeared in court, and paid the sum of £9 11s. in satisfaction of the claim referred to, and the insolvent obtain! ed his final order. – The cases of John TRUSCOTT, of St. Cleme! nt Stree t, William James REED, of Richmond Hill, and Edward PENNA, West Bridge, Truro, whose first examinations had been appointed for this day, were postponed till the 6th of June. Helston. – William HARRIS and Jemima, his wife, plaintiffs, and William GAY and Mary his wife, defendants. Mr. WILLIAM YEWENS for plaintiffs; Mr. FREDERICK HILL for defendants. This was an action brought to recover the sum of £10 from the defendant, Mary GAY, as the administratrix of the goods, chattels and effects of her father, James DOWNING, decease, who died intestate, on account of the plaintiffs’ distributive share of the said goods, chattels, and effects. Mr. HILL’S defense was that the defendant had fully administered to the estate and there was nothing left to pay the plaintiffs’ alleged claim. Evidence was given as to the property and the payments made. The case was adjourned. – The defendant to render and account stating how the proceeds of the property had been disposed of. Penzance. – At this court, held on Tuesday and Wednesday last, fifty-two cases were entered for trial; and amongst them was the following: – BARAGWANATH v. WASLEY. – This was an action to recover £26, as rent of the Hotel at St. Ives. Mr. R. MILLETT stated that plaintiff was formerly proprietor of the hotel, which was deeply mortgaged to the late Mr. HOCKING, surgeon, who, being unable to get either interest or rent, took proceedings by ejectment, became mortgagee in possession, and let the hosue to MR. Wasley, the defendant, who paid him a quarter’s rent; but in the middle of the next quarter, Mr. HOCKING, under a power of mortgage, sold the hotel to the Proprietors of the Redruth Brewery. In settling that purchase, Mr. Hockin was allowed six weeks’ rent, £8 6s.; the remaining £18 Wasley was to pay to the purchaser, Messrs. MAGOR and Co., of Redruth. Mr. Wasley occupied, under Messrs. Magor and Co., till December, 1854, and paide him the whole of the rent. – Mr.! CORNISH, for defendant, said he was concerned for Messrs. Magor and Co., in the purchase. Mr. Hocking the mortgagee in fee, was then in possession, and Wasley was his tenant under a written agreement – a tenancy from year to year, but only so long as Mr. Hocking remained in possession. A conveyance was joined in by Mr. Hocking in fee simple, and Mr. Baragwanath in equity; and Messrs. Magor and Co., had to receive some amount of rent from Wasly. Further it was urged, that if plaintiff had any claim it could only be against Messrs. Magor and Co. (though it was believed he had none), and the plaintiff was nonsuited. ____________________________________________________________ Raspberry Pill Burns Fat How This Weird Fruit Extract Can Make You Thinner in Just 5 Days. http://thirdpartyoffers.netzero.net/TGL3241/4fea7dd344c577dd256c0st51duc

Love the 150-year-old Used Vehicles ads! Almost as good as the "Model A" Ford I saw offered (in a Ford dealer's showroom) for sale second-hand, less than 20 years ago in New Zealand, apparently quite seriously.
