found in the account on either side," the plaintiff proved the delivery of a wagon to him by the defendant within the two years as a payment of a hundred dollars on account. Held, no evidence of a mutual, open, and current account within the meaning of the statute.—Warren v. Sweeney, 4 Nev. 101.

2. H. gave a mortgage in good faith to secure future advances, which did not state this fact upon its face, and subsequently transferred the mortgaged property to D., a creditor, to cover his indebtedness to him. D. bailed the property to the defendant, against whom the mortgagees brought suit. Held, that the mortgage was valid to the extent of the lien therein expressly created. Tully v. Harloe, 35 Cal. 302.

3. The administrator of a mortgagee sold property under the mortgage, bought it in himself, and afterwards sold at an advance. Held, that he did not by this transaction become trustee for the mortgagor for the profits. Woodlee v. Burch,

Held, that the council could only exercise the power to repave in its

legislative capacity, and could not delegate it. - Ruggles v. Collier, 43 Mo. 353; S. P. City of St. Louis v. Clemens, ib. 395.

2. To an action by purchaser against vendor for non-delivery within a stipulated time, the defendant pleaded delivery and acceptance of a part after the expiration of the time, and refusal to pay. Held, a good plea; if the purchaser sought, at the time of the delivery of such part, to pay by setting off the damages for non-delivery of the residue, he should have made a distinct offer to do so, and either traversed the averment of refusal to pay, or replied specially. -Bradley v. King, 44 Ill. 339.

3. A. sued B. in one count, stating facts constituting a cause of action for assault and battery, and also for slander, alleging injury to person, character, feelings, and circumstances, and claiming damages generally. Held, bad on demurrer. Anderson v. Hill, 53 Barb. 238.

2. Plaintiff brought ejectment to recover a tract of land, portion of a larger tract, claimed by plaintiff under a United States patent. Defendant proved a contract between himself and plaintiff, according to which the latter was to obtain title to the whole tract from the United States, and thereafter convey to defendant the land in controversy, in consideration that defendant should refrain from presenting his rightful claim to the larger tract, and should pay the purchasemoney of the smaller, which was within his enclosure.

PRESIDENT.

PRINCIPAL AND AGENT.

An application for a policy of insurance contained questions and answers, by which it appeared that the title to the property was represented to be an unencumbered fee simple. A loss having occurred, the plaintiffs proved that R., the defendant's soliciting agent, had at the time full knowledge of the true state of the title, that he filled up the application in his own language, and assured the plaintiffs that it was all right; that they, believing it to be so, signed without knowing the contents as to title. Held, that, under the circumstances, the fact that the plaintiffs' title was only an encumbered equitable one, constituted no defence. — Combs v. Hannibal Savings and Insurance Company, 43 Mo. 148. See DELIVERY, 2; FRAUDS, STATUTE OF, 2; JUDGMENT, 3.

PRIVILEGE.

If a witness refuse to answer a question on the ground that his answer may tend to criminate him, the party calling him may show by other testimony that the circumstances were such that the act as to which the question was put, would not have been criminal, and when this is made clear, the witness may be compelled to answer. - Ford v. The State, 29 Ind. 541.

PRIVILEGED COMMUNICATION.-See ATTORNEY, 1.

L., being desirous of procuring the clerkship of a police court in C., gave H. a sum of money for the purpose of inducing the latter to use his influence to get the former nominated.

Hesing, 44 Ill. 113.

Sloat, 1 Nev. 585).

SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. -See LEGAL TENDER, 2.

STAMP.

1. Assuming that a stamp is essential to the validity of a deed, an averment that the deed was made, imports that it was stamped. -Jones v. Davis, 22 Wis. 421.

2. In a suit upon a written contract, bearing proper revenue stamps cancelled, the defendant offered to prove that he did not affix the stamps, or authorize it to be done. Held, that the evidence was incompetent, as the plaintiff himself might properly have affixed the stamps, and a failure to cancel them would not render the instrument void. — Adams v. Dale, 29 Ind. 273.

3. In the absence of a State law to the contrary, a tax-deed is not invalid for want of a revenue stamp, Congress not having the constitutional power to require one. Sayles v. Davis, 22 Wis. 225.

4. To a suit for the purchase-money of land, the defendant answered that the true consideration for the land was much more than that named in the deed, and that the grantor had caused the consideration to be stated in the deed at a less sum than the true amount for the purpose of defrauding the Government of the
