Taylor v. Vigus: Plaintiff is a coachbuilder, and defendant the owner of sawmills. Claim £3 2s for one pair of wheels, repairing perambulator, and other work done, also 1s money borrowed. Mr. Floud, who appeared for the defendant, said he had paid two guineas into court, which he considered was a fair price for the work done, as for the shilling, his client denied having borrowed any money from the plaintiff. Plaintiff said when he received the order from Mr. Vigus there was no agreement as to price, and the price he had charged was a very fair one, and he called a coachbuilder, named Phillips, who said the amount sued for was a very fair charge. Samuel Westcott said he made the wheels, and the labour for the woodwork was 14s, and he also considered that the £2 charge for the wheels was a fair price. Mr. Floud, for the defence, called Mr. Short and Mr. Pinsent who both agreed that 30s was a good price, as the wheels were common ones, not proper coach wheels. They also gave evidence as to the other work, the charge for which they said was exorbitant, and they thought the money paid into court was quite sufficient for the work done. Mr. Floud, on the part of his clients, said they agreed to pay what was far, but the charge not made was an exorbitant one. Judgment for the plaintiff for £2 10s

Important Question under the Bankruptcy Act: An adjourned meeting for last examination in the bankruptcy of Wm. Bartlett Whiteway, of Kingsteignton, was held at the Exeter County Court yesterday, Mr. Fryer appearing for the bankrupt, and Mr. Petherick for a creditor — Mr. Pensent, spirit merchant, of Newton, to whom the bankrupt had given a promissory note. Whiteway was insolvent in 1855, and Mr. Petherick contended that as he had never received a certificate of discharge the proceedings under the first bankruptcy were still pending, and that the present petition ought therefore to be dismissed. Mr. Fryer said he took counsel’s opinions before filing the present petition, and the opinion was that the old bankruptcy did not prevent his client coming into court in respect of new debts. The practice, he said, was to adjourn the proceedings from time to time until the first bankruptcy should be disposed of. The case was finally adjourned for two months. Before the next meeting application will be made to the chief judge bankruptcy impound the proceedings under the old bankruptcy.
