The original account was £95 12s. The case was dismissed for want of jurisdiction and that the case might be brought before the District Court. WILLIAM N. CLARKE V. JOHN; M'HESLEY. Claim £4 8s 6d. Mr Thome for plaintiff and Mr Joy for defendants. The parties in this case had been friends, and plaintiff had been supplying defendant with table-cloths, napkins, and other domestic articles, in lieu of which defendant found plaintiff in food and lodging at the rate 20s per week. They had gone on comfortably together, until a little misunderstanding arose, and plaintiff brought the case in Court, against which defendant claimed a set off. After a great deal of difficulty in getting the differences into shape, it was shewn bhat defendant was indebted in a balance of £1 4s 6d, for which judgment was given for plaintiff ; costs, £1 9s 6d. S. VICKERS V. J. NASH. Claim, £3 6a. Mr Thome for plaintiff. « This was a claim for rent, which defendant denied. He took the house at 9s. a week, and plaintiff charged him 11s, which did not meet his views. Mr Samuel Vickers .proved that defendant occupied a house belonging to him in Edwardes-Btreet, and .that the rent agreed upon was 11s a-week; he then turned over the house to another tenant who had also paid the same amount of rent.

James Nash deposed that he took the house for 9s, on the understanding that he was to keep it dark from the other tenants. Judgment for plaintiff; costs £1 4s 6d.
