Order of remand on

IN the matter of the petition of Kollybur Dutt and others, filed in this Court on the 6th January 1858, praying for the admission application of of a special appeal from the decision of Mr. E. Lautour, Judge special appeal, of the 24-Pergunnahs, dated 30th October 1857, affirming that of Baboo Judoonath Mookopadhya, moonsift of Lubshaw, dated 14th January 1857, in the case of Kollybur Dutt and others, plaintiffs, versus Modhoosoodun Pattuck and others, defendants.

Petitioner, who was plaintiff in the lower court and whose suit. was dismissed by the moonsiff on the evidence adduced before him, appealed to the judge, who, adverting to the insufficient excuses made by the petitioner for not producing a chitta in the first court and not depositing fees for a local enquiry, rejected the appeal; and petitioner now pleads that the judge has never considered such evidence as he had tendered in the lower court and regarding the sufficiency of which his appeal was preferred. As this plea appears to be borne out by the judge's remarks, we remand the case, that the judge may take up and decide the case on the evidence placed on record.

OMESHCHUNDER ROY, (PLAINTIFF,) OPPOSITE PARTY.
Vakeel of Petitioner-Baboo Unokoolchunder Mookerjea.
Vakeel of the Opposite Party-None.

THIS application is preferred on two grounds, first, that the issue on which the Court dismissed the claim was one never raised by the judge and never looked to by the parties as matter for proof; secondly, that the decree was passed against three persons, one of whom only appealed and he alone should have derived any benefit from the Court's order of dismissal.

Neither of these points were adverted to by the pleaders when the appeal was before the Court; and we cannot admit reviews of judgment upon matter which should have been submitted for decision as part of the appeal before the Court.

We may however observe that the judge's decision gave the matter referred to as one in issue between the parties, and remarked upon the point in his reasoning on the case; it was therefore incumbent on the pleader of respondent to draw the Court's attention to any such objection as he now pleads, when he must have known that the Court made it the material issue in the appeal and one on which their judgment was ultimately based. The other objection is one which could not, as the case stood, affect the order of this Court.

JUDGMENT.

On reverting to the record we find that the plaint alludes to two roads, for the closing of one of which plaintiffs sued, and for the closing of the other of which they state that they would sue in a separate suit. Under these circumstances the decisions of the lower courts, awarding to plaintiffs the right to close one road, are quite correct, and in accordance with the prayer of the plaint; and no ground for special appeal on this head exists. We dismiss the special appeal therefore, with costs.
