have been made somewhere It is like-
ly the contractor will have to make the
silo good, although even then the loss

of claim and costs, Dickson
SNELL V. SHFIERE.—All actioa by

ant produced a receipt in full which
plaintiff denied signing, This action
was tried by a jury, who returned a
verdict for the defendant and judg'-
meet was entered dismissing' claim and
costs. Dickson for pili; Collins for
deft.
DEAVET v. ELLIOT.—Wats an action
in which the plaintiff claimed to recov-
er from the defendant the sum of 850
which she claimed she was entitled to
out of a settlement of a claim in the
High Court of Justices, in which the de-
fendants were her solicitors. The de-
fendants &aimed that the plaintiff was
entitled to nothing, but on the contrary
owed them a small balance for costs.
The jury thought otherwise and return-
ed a verdict in favor of plaintiff for the
full amount of her claim, and judg-
ment was entered accordingly. Dick-
son for plfi:; Proudfoot for deft,
COLLINS V. CORNISH.—Was an action
by R. H. Collins, solicitor, for an
amount of a bili of costs. The defend-
ant claimed he had paid the bill in full,
The action was commenced with a jury,
but after it had progressed a short dis-
tance the defendant consented to a
judgmentagainst him for the amount of
the plaintiff's bill without interest. The
plaintiff accepted this and judgment
was entered in his favor for $25 and
costs. Proudfoot for plff,; Dickson for
deft.
A few other unimportant undefended
suits terminated. ,. ,This was the, long
est session of the division Court held
here for many years. This is the first
time in eight years in which a jury
summoned to try cases in the Division
Court here, and we think the result
will hardly warrant going to the ex-
penses of summoning oue for many
years to come, as the cases which ordi-
narily copse for trial in this court can
fairly be left to the judge alone,
