The parties contradicted each other as to the verbal agreement regarding the terms on which the blocks were placed with the Caxton Company for sale. —His Worship, in giving judgment, said it was admitted that one of the blocks was sold, so that there could be no defence regarding that portion of the claim.

Judgment would be for the plaintiff Frost for 30s and 10s paid into court, with costs; and in the other claim, White v. Frost, the plaintiff would be nonsuited.
