bid crunch MATTER. SUPREME COURT.

In the case of James Cameron. whose trial was going on as we went to press this day Week, the Jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Joseph McNab. tried for an assault on a Constable in the execution of his duty, was also acquitted. Patrick Lyons. in- dicted for obtaining goods by means of a forged order, purporting to be drawn by M. Murchison. Esq.. North River. and John Story. for taking out of the Post Office a letter addressed to Mrs. Elizabeth Sentner. and sbsiracting money therefrom. with the intention of appropriating the sums to his own use. on being arraigned. severally pleaded guilty. On Satur- day, the Grand Jury made prescntments against Angus McDonald. Lot 36. Margaret Hughes. llrid- get Pembroke. and Daniel Webster, for selling spir- ituous liquors without licence.

The case of James Palmer vs. Neil Currie, came on for trial on Monday. and occupied part of two days. This was an action to recover damages for a breach of contract. About a year ago the Defend- ant—a shipwright—entered into a written agreement with the Plaintiff. who at that time had a vessel on the stocks at Crapaud. to lay the deck and finish all the carpenter work above the beams to the satisfac~ tion of the latter. who was to find the materials. The grounds on which the l’laintifl‘claimcd damages was. that the Defendant had failed to fulfill his con- tract within the time specified in the agreement, that bad material had been used. that the work throughout was done in a rough and unworkmanlikc manner, that it would not ass Lloyd's inspection. and consequently prevented the sole of the vessel. to the great injury of the owner. On the part of the defence. it was contended that the nonfnlfilment of the contract was caused by the Pluintifl, who did not supply deck planks. boards. &c.. as they were required. that the material which he did provide. was so sappy and inferior in quality. that a nest and goodjob was an impossibility. that the Plaintiff saw the work as it went on. and the fact of his settling and paying for it. warranted the presumption that the workmanship was completed to his satisfaction. and with Lloyd's Inspector the Defendant had no- thing whatever to do. The evidence on both sides showed that the material was bad. end the work roughly put out of hand. Mr. Sloggett also proved that besides Currie's contract. there were other arts of the vessel incomplete. and that he would not nvo passed her. even if all the Carpenter work above the beams had been Well done. The Jury found for the Defendant. For the Plaintiff Messrs. C. Palmer «8: McLeod ; for the defence. Messrs. Haviland dz Bracken.

Plaintiffs in merchandise in Robertson's store as theirs. was seiv‘ ed upon the Sheriff, who sold them under a Bond of indemnity from Messrs. Dcluny and Byrno. The present action was brought to decide the question who. at the time of seizure. was the rightful owner of the goods in question. On the part of the defence. it was contended that Messrs. Hearts do Son had not only delivered the goods to the purchaser. but also left them in his possession after he had failed to comply with the terms of sale. and allowed him to retail them. as it was proved he did on his own ac- count. Theso circumstances. coupled with the fact that the Plaintlfl‘s' agent. who carried back the signed and blank note to Robertson. and knew what had oc- curred, did not. prior to the Sheriff's sale. claim the goods as the property of Messrs. Hearts & Son. nor use due diligence in asserting their supposed rights. were sufficient to divest these gentlemen of the owner- ship of the goods. In explaining the law of the cue, Mr. Justice Peters told the Jury that. where an article, lettered with a condition. was delivered to a purchaser. the right to the article remained with the vendor until the condition was fulfilled. or until he had. by his own act. renounced all claim to it. Verdict for the Plaintiffs: damages. £139 17s. 2d. For the defence Messrs. dedin. Brecken. and Havi- lsnd;for the prosecution Messrs. Hensley. Long- worth. Hodgson. and E. Palmer. The case was tried by a special Jury, and excited a considerable degree of interest. it being the first suit in which the principle involved came up here for decision. Todlny His Lordship the Chief Justice passed sen- tence on the prisoners as follows z—Patrick Lyons. 4 months’ imprisonment. with hard labor . Cyril Brown. 2 months' imprisonment. with hard labor ; \Villiam Harris. 2 months' imprisonment, with hard labor ; after which the Summary suits and appeals were taken up. The Treasurer also proclaimed all lands in arrear for Land Tax.

CHARLOTTETOWN MUTUAL FIRE lNSURANCE COMPANY.

Moxmv. 21st January. 1867.

At the Annual Meeting of the above Company. held in Temperance Hall. this evening. pursuant to notice published in the newspapers. the President in the Chair. the Secretary was called on to read the notice convening the meeting. the object of which was then declared. and havtng ascertained that the number required by law were present. the Secretary then read the following

REPORT 3

Your Directors now present their Eighteenth Annual Report. which. for the first time in tha.history of“ the Company. reveals a calamity of the most appalling magnitude. such as Charlottetown never before wit- nesscd. . _

After being called upon to meet the followin claims for loss—Messrs. Starbird anal LePags for £ 10. and

action brought to recover the amount of a promissory note. made by Defendant in November. 1863. and payable in two years and six months after date. to Mrs. Elizabeth Knight or order. The note was a joint and several one, was signed by George Proud. and witnessed by Ewen Amos. who. by the consent of the parties to it, was to hold the document until Mr. Proud's son also signed it, which he never did. Some time afterward, the note. in this incomplete state, was left by the party who witnessed it. with the Plaintiff for discount. It was endorsed in those words: “ Elizabeth Knight. her mark, per Ewen Amos." Before consenting to cash the note, Mr. Gates saw the defendant. who said it was all right, and appeared pleased that it was likely to fall into the Plaintiff’s hands. Proud did not deny making the note, nor did he refuse to pay it, but having learned that Mrs. Knight denied over having endors- ed the note or authorized any one to negocinte it for her, he declined to settle with Mr. Gates until the question who had the legal right to the money was first decided. Amos testified that he sold the note as Mrs. Knight's agent. and that she endorsed it in his presence a few minnets after it was signed. The defendant. Mrs. Knight. Issac Knight and his sister. who were present all the timo.flutly contradicted the testimony. as to the latter point. If Mrs. Knight even had put her mark on the back of the note. the law requires that, being unable to write or read writing. the effect ofthe act should be explained to her. in order to make the eudorament good and valid. There was no evhlencs adduced to show that this was done. In the ease of morkmen, the first endorser must satisfy himself that the party putting his mark to a note knew what he was doing. or run the risk of losing his money through a fraudulent endorse- ment. In this instance. the in uiries were made of the defendant instead of Mrs. night. Misled by the statements of Proud. which were correct enough as far as he was concerned, the Plaintifl' took the note. paid the money for it. and new, notwithstanding that thetmnsnction was fair and honorable on his part. he is unable to recover his money from the maker of the note. which by the verdict of thejury is legally the property of Mrs. Knight. For plaintiff. Messrs. Alley do C. Palmer; for defendant. Messrs. Long- worth do Hensley.

Richard Hearts and arm. vs. Thomas Owen. was an auction for tree see brought against the defend- ant. as Sherifi' of isg's ('ounty. for having, in July last. undera Fi. Fa. Execution. issued out of the Supreme Court at the instance of Thomas Delany and E. J. Byron cs. Alexander D. Robertson and D. D. Matheson.seired and sold certain goods found in Robertson's store at Grand River, and which, on the day of sale. were claimed by the Plaintifls in this suit as their property. It appeared from the evi- dence that in J one last Robertson purchased from Messrs. Hearts do Son merchandise to the value of £162. and that one of the conditions of the bargain was that the former should give his own and his father's note of hand as security for the payment. A portion of the goods were forwarded to Grand River early in June. and the balance on the 28th day

whole. and a blank note to be signed in accordance with the terms of sale. Instead of getting his father as security. Robertson got D. D. Matheson to join him in the note. and then sent it to Messrs. Heart: A: Son, who returned it (some of the witnesses said next day. and others within seven or ten days) to Robertson. with another blank to be ioined in by his father. which he did not sign. 0n the 17th of July an Execution was levied by the Sherid. as already stated. for a debt contracted in April by Robertson and Mathoson previous to the dissolution of their copartnsrship. and on the day of sale notice that “I!

McKinnon 6; Fraser and Mrs. Reddin for £ -the usual alarm of fire aroused the inhabitants of this‘City from their slumbere before daybreak on the morning of 15th July last. When the en ine arrived at the scene of confiagration. it was evi eat that the building on fire could not be saved; but no one contemplated such vast destruction as quickly followed.—-within six hours. four blocks of houses and stores in the most thickly settled part of the City. containing a large quantity of code of all descriptions. in an entire mass of ruins. That the raging flames. which at one time leaped across Queen Street. 100 feet wide. should he stayed in streets only 40 feet in width. can only be accounted for by the intervention of Divine Pnovidcnce rendering suc- cessful the heroic efforts of many who threw their ut- most remaining strength into the almost forlorn hope of saving the City from further devastation. The extent of the Ullllt'U loss I: unknown. It has been roughly estimated at £60,000. Such a fire could not occur without involving this Company in a serious loss. The probability at first was. that our paid up cs - ital. and the whole of our five per cent bends. wourd not be sufficient to meet our share of the losses. Your Directors. after giving the utmost care and at- tention to the varied demands. and endeavor-log to meet them in a fair and liberal spirit. consistent with their desire to protect your interests. have now the pleasure to report that the ordinary funds of the company have been fully equal to the emergency; all the claims have been fully adjusted and paid. with the exception of one of £100. which is waitiu for the receipt of the legal beirs.-—and another is do eyed for want of proof.

Total paid since 31st December. 1865.
