*parting intelligence• 'BESS, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 6, 1866 tido intelligence. Evidence was given on the part of the plaintiff in sup port of thus facts. Mr. Chambers submitted that there was no case for the jury. He stated that the warrant to distrain was dated the 15th October, when the rent was unpsid, and therefore the defendant was not answerable for what took place after he signed the warrant. He also contended that it appeared by the correspondence that the plaintiff had authority to pay Mr. Williams the rent only upon re ceiving the defendant's own receipt ; that no such re ceipt hadn fact, been obtained • and indeed it appeared that Mr. Williams's authority h ad been withdrawn before the payment was made to the clerk. Under these circum stances be argued that there had been no payment of the rent before the distrus was pnt in, and therefore that the di s tress was regular. The Lord Chief Justice said that he should leave the case to the jury. v an for the defendant in re S om e evidence was then gi - ference mainly to the points which had been mentioned by Mr. Chambers. The Lord Chief Justice directed the jury that the fact of the warrant having been signed before the payment of the rent did not exempt the defendant from responsibility. Further, even if there was a withdrawal of the authority of Mr. Williams to receive the rent, that withdrawal would have no operation in law unless it were oommuni ceted to the plaintiff. Another circumstance was, that the defendant bed authorised the payment of the rent by cheque, and, in reference to some objections of Mr. Chambers, they would say whether the cheque in question was one that came within the authority. The jury found that the letter of the 10th October wan an authority to the plaintiff to pay . the rent without the production of the defendant's receipt, and they said that their verdict was for the plaintiff—damages 5M Execution was stayed, in order to enable the defendant's counsel to raise the question whether the defendant was exempted from responsibility by reason of the warrant of distress being signed before the rent was paid. PARSONS r. THY NORTH WISTZRN RAILWAY COMPANY. The plaintiff in this use was a wholesale boot and shoe manufacturer at Northampton, and last Whitmonday he took a ticket by an excurron train from oneNorthamp London. Near Watford station the train came lision with the abutment of a bridge, and a very serious accident wu the consequence. The plaintiff continued his journey to London,. but he soon found that he wee very severel,y injured. Since the accident he had been unable to attend to any business, and at the present time he was in a state of great prostra tion. There was continual pain at bath ends of the spine, sleeplessness, numbness of the left arm, and other symp toms of a very distresiing nature, which showed that there was great injury to the nervous system. His business, also which had produced between 7001. and 8001. • year profit, had fallen off one - hal f, and he had been put to medioai a nd other expenses amount in g to 2301. Under theme cir cumstances he sued for damages, and it was stated that the liability of the company was admitted. Mr. Hudilleston, Q.C., and Mr. Grantham appeareddants for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Hawk ins, Q.C., for the defen. The plaintiff was called into the witness-box and that ac commodated with a seat, his c ondition being such be could not stand. Before any evidence was given, however, the counsel consulted together, and e vent result was that a verdict was taken for the plainti ff by oo —damages 1.0751. RIIIINET AND WIFE V. THY LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY. This was an action to recover damages for injuries sus tained at New-cross Station on last Good Friday, and the only question was the amount of damages to be awarded. Mr. Seijeant Ballantine and Mr. ark appeared for Cl the plaintiffs and Mr. Manisty, Q.C., and Mr. Hannan for the defen dants. Mr. Romney was a tailor i n a good way of business at Stoke Newington , and on the day in question he was with his wife at New-cross in a train which had come from W a ndsworth. Whilst the train was standing at the station, aCrystalralace train ran into it, and the plaintiffs were thrown violently backwardsand forwards. The plaintiff had suffered since from sleeplessness, pains in the back, stomach, and head, and the doctors thought there was concussion of the spine. Since then he had been able only imperfectly to attend to his businss, and and it w as b e l i eved that he still required six m onths' e rest change of air to completely restore him. As to Mrs. Rumney, in her case also there was an injury to the spine, and in ad dition she received a blow upon the mouth which broke off one of her teeth, and so loosened four or five others that they had to be removed. About a month after the accident Mrs. Rumney was confined, a month before her time, and her health had been much affected since. In addition to this there had bee andfound a it was small cavity in the right apex of the lung,this thought had followed from the accident and the conse quences of it. Mr. Manisty called no witnesses for the defence, but addressed the jury upon the q uestion of the amount of the damages. The Lord Chief Justice said that the statement before the jury was that Mr. Rumney had to pay, one way or another, `250/. for expenses consequent upon the accident, and that, in addition, he had lost 1001. of profits in his business since the accident, in consequence of his loss of energy and power. The jury would take into their consideration these circumstances, and also the pain and suffering of the plaintiffs, and the time which would pass before they perfectly recovered their health. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs —damages COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Dsc. 5. After Term Nisi Prins Sittings at Westminster•—alalace the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) HYAMB V. THE NORTH LONDOE RAILWAY COMPANT. This was ausetion to recover compensation in damages for injuries received through the alleged negligence of the defendants' servants. The defendants pleaded not guilty. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. H. 1. Lewis were co.an sel for the plaintiff ,• Mr. Prentice, Q.C., and Mr. White were counsel for the defendants. The plaintiff is a clothes salesman in the neighbourhood of Bishopsgate-street. On the evening of the 3rd January last plaintiff accompanied a friend named Cohen to deli ver glass shades, &c., in the Caledonian-road. They took return tickets at the Liverpool-street station, and when the train got to the Osledonmn-road station the carriage in which the plaintiff and his Mend was stopped short of the platform, and in getting out he fell down, smashed the shade be bad in his hand, and severely struck his leg. He was obliged to return by the next train, and had to be conveyed from the station to his home in a cab. He was confined five or six weeks to his bed, matter having formed in the leg, and to the house for ten or eleven weeks after. Re claimed special damage from being unable to attend to his business for some months, during which time he paid a buyer on an average 3/. per week by a commission of 21 per cent., and his son 21. lOs, per week as a " renovator." The plaintiff said that whilst he was ill the travelling inspector of the com pany called on him, and said he was a very fortunate man, because if the train had gone on he must have been killed. lie wished the persons in the room to be sent out, as he wished to speak to him, but the plaintiff refused. Abiock, the inspector, then said, " Suppose, Mr. Hyams, you make some offer. I have been sent here by the com pany to makeyou some compensation;" and he gave him an instance wher a man had refused 1001. offered by a rail way oompany,going to law, and getting nothing. Plaintiff said he had incurred 2001. expenses, having been obliged to take six new laid eggs,brandy, and wine a day, and his doctor's expenses were 201. ss. The defence was that thin was an crate claim, and that the accident was of a very ' • character. The plaintiff was cautioned about getting out before the train started. Alcoek, the travelling inspector, was called, and said he went to the plaintiff at the request of the secretary. He told the plaintiff that without admitting the company's liability, if he was any way reasonable in his demand, he would give him something in charity. He was often employed to go about to settle these cases, and he frequently carried cheques and money with him, and receipts, to be filled up. He asked plaintiff to make an offer ; he was empowered to give him what he (Alcock) considered reasonable. lie could not say how many such eases he had visited. The Lord Chief Justice.—What, are your accidents so numerous that you cannot recollect them? Witness—We have not more than any other company. The plaintiff's stock and furniture did not appear to be worth more than 20/. Dr. Gill, who saw the plaintiff for the company, described him to be a very nervous and weak man, and that the wound in the leg was of a superficial character ; and Mr. Prentice, in addressing the jury, said the plaintiff might well exclaim, "My wound is great because it is so small !" The plaintiff's doctor described hihowever, as a strong healthy man before the accident. The jury ultimately returned a verdict for the de fendants. 1,0001. THE SPECIAL JUST SYSTEM. In the coarse of the day complaints were made of the way in which special juries were summoned ; in fact, few days pass without some such complaint being made. The Lord Chief Justice said that as the law at present stood the names of special jurors were taken by ballot, so that it was a matter of chance whether a man was sum moned every day, or not for years. As he had before said the matter was now under the consideration of the goad a meat, and he hoped that another session of parliament would not use without a remedy being attempted. li e might add that if the body of special jurors would sugs any improved plan, the country would be very much indebted to them. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Dtc. 5. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) SMYTH AND ANOTHER r. wit.soN AND OTHERS. — SPECIAL JURY. For the defence it wax contended that no evidence had been given to show that the testatrix, at the time of mak ing the will, knew and approved of its contents. The jury, however, without hesitation, found for the executors, and The Judge decreed probate, but, considering that the litigation had been entirely caused by the procrastination of the deceased, g kve the costa of the defendants out of the estate. COIJRT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Dec. 5. i (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE JOHN PARKER. The bankrupt was a lamp manufacturer, of Barge-yard, Bucklersbury. The case has been before the court up wards of a twelvemonth. It will be remembered from the circumstance of the bankrupt having, from ill health, en trubted the management of the business entirely to his son, who, by a course of pledging goods and other miscon duct, soon brought his father to bankruptcy. The debts are fi,:100/. ; assets returned at upwards of 2,0001. This was an adjourned sitting for discharge. Mr. Bagley, for the assignees, said that toey had great reason to complain of the way in which the bankrupt's business had been conducted ; and in ordinary cases they would have opposed under the misdemeanour clauaesof the act. But there were peculiar features here. In April, IS4I thebankrupt had an attack of paralysi s, the manage meui of the business devolved upon his son, who grossly misoonducted it, and everything went to ruin. It would be for the court to consider whether the bankrupt, under the affliction with which he had been visited, could be hell respononsible for his son's misconduct. Mr. Brough appeared for a creditor. His Honour said there was no reason to doubt that the bankrupt had acted honk fide in selecting his son to manage his business ; and having regard to the serious illness with which he had been visited, the court could not r punish him for his son's misconduct, either under the penal or the misdemeanour section. The order would, therefore, be granted. OXFORD CIRCUIT.--EITAITOItD, Dso. 5. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) M a ry Brown, 22, no occupa tion, was indicted for the wilful murder of her female child, in Wolverhampton. Mr. Motterany, with whom was ldr. Young, prosecuted; Mr. Harrington defended. The evidence against the prisoner was at most entirely circumstantial, and was to the effect that on the 21st et August last she was admitted into the Wolverks femalempten union, where she wa s con fi ned the sense day of • child. The prisoner remained in the union until the 3rd of September, when she left, taking with her her child, which was dressed in clothing damned with the work house mark, and carrying also a beaket containing a piece of muslin, a number of pawn tickets, and a card of battens. At six o'clock in the evening of the same day she was observed by two men in Lear.Lne, • thoroughfare near to • field just out of Wolverhamptoby one of the men to be standing near • heap of bricks, and by the other to be sitting on them. On the following day she was taken into custody on a charge of felony,.and she had not got her child with her then. A magisterial : inquiry resulted in the prisoner being sent to gaol for six weeks, and she was therefore taken to Stafford to serve her term of imprison ment In her basket were found several articles of child's c lothing, marked with the union stamp ; bed, as the police had recei ved no intimation of • dead child having been found, no suspicion was aroused. On the 25th of September, however, two men proceeding early to their work, passed through Lear-lane, and their attention was attracted to some rap protruding from a little mound of bricks on one side of the road. Upon removing the bricks they discovered the partially d ecom p os ed body of • female c hild, a g ed appa rently about a fortnight, covered with the piece of muslin before referred to. The skull was fractured, and that injury seemed to have been the cause of death. The pri soner was subsequently charged with murdering the child, but she made no reply. After being examined before the magistrates in Wolverhampton, she was asked by a female searcher there why she had murdered her child. She replied, I did do it. I don't deny it. The devil tempted me." She afterwards a d m itted her guilt to • fellow prisoner , adding that she did not kill the child by fracturing its skull, but that she strangled it whilst it lay on her knee. (Sensation.) When before the coroner, she said, pointing to the last witness, who had been rel ating her confession to the jury, " that she had nothing more to say than what she told hiru.' i Mr. Harrington having addressed the jury, Ms lordship summed up at considerable length ; after which and at The jury retired, the lapee of about five mi nutes, returned a verdict of GusUy, but recommended the prisoner to mercy. [ Sentence of death was passed in the usual form. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —MAwarzeTER, Dze. 5. CROWN Courr.—{Before Mr. Julio. Blackburn.) John Sherlock, 22, was charged with having wilfully and unlawfully slain and killed Harriett Kew. Cobbett was for the prosecution, and Mr. B. Jones was counsel for the defence. The prisoner, on being placed at the bar, asked how it was he should have been brought there before being taken before a magistrate ! The Judge said he had before complained of persona being committed on the coroner's warrant without being examined before a magistrate. He did not think the prisoner should complain of it because it would probably be more in his favour than against him. On the first witness being called the prisoner again interposed. He said he did not want any witnesses there ; be was before God and the Son of God. His lordship (stopping the prisoner) said be had better elect whethae he would defen t his own case or allow Mr. Jones to do it ; he could not allow both. The Prisoner—Who engaged him ? Mr. Jones said his lordship would probably see the unfortunate state of the prisoner's mind. He had been engaged by _the prisoner's friends to defend him. His lordship said he had nothing now to do with that question. It might be a question whether an issue should not go to the jury along with the present issue, as to whether the prisoner was in a fit state to be tried. He would advise the prisoner to allow Mr. Jones to defend him, but he must decide for himself. The prisoner said his lordship would be able to answer that question as well as himself. He wished to correct what he had before said. The woman was the mother of God, but he was not the son of God. God the Father was not his father, but his father's father. His lordship here exchanged a few words as to the con duct of the prisoner in gaol with one of the officials of the prison, and then directed the jury to be sworn upon_a second issue as to the state of the prisoner's mind. The case then proceeded. The deceased woman and the prisoner lived next door to each other, in Worth-street, Rochdale-road, and on the 29th September prisoner was standing on his step at the front door, and had some quarrel with the deceased, who sto od on the stone flags of the an street in front of him. He ordered her away, d struck her under the chin. He afterwards hit her under the ear, and she then staggered and fell. This was in the morning, and she went about her work in the afternoon. Next morning she was found to be seriously ill, and died during the day. On a post-mortem examination by Mr. Worthington, surgeon, he discovered injuries of the brain, and was of opinion that they might be caused by blows and a fall such as the witnesses described. The ease for the prosecution was a very short one. For the defence Dir. Ernest Jones called witnesses who showed that deceased was drinking and quarrelling with people after the assault described by witnesses for the pro secution, and that she had been struck and knocked down in consequence of her violent conduct. The prisoner's sister said the deceased had come into their house before the assault which had been described and struck their mother. It was for that the prisoner pushed her from the door. He did not strike her or knock her down. This witness described seeing deceased very drunk at a beer-shoplate the same night, where she quarrelled with a man and the man knocked herdown. Witness and another woman picked deceased up and caned her home after that blow, and found her almost helplessly dru nk. At , the conclusion of the defence Mr. James Ogden Fletcher, M.D., was called into the witness box and ex amined by the judge. Mr. Fletcher said he was medical officer to the Manchester borough gaol, and had attended the prisoner twice while in the gaol. On both occasions he had pretended insanity, but had afterwards thrown off the pretence and done his work cheerfully enough. He (Mr. Fletcher) had no doubt about his perfect sanity. In charging the jury his lordship again alluded to the fact of the prisoner not having been committed on a ma gistrate's warrant es well as on a coroner's warrant, but said he had no power to punish such conduct except by disallowing the prosecutor's coots, which he should do. The jury found that the prisoner was sane. On the principal charge they found the prisoner or y, but re commended him to mercy on the ground that the offence was committed under a good deal of provocation. Sentence deferred. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge.) Joseph Henry On eh, 29, describing himself as a " civil engineer," was indicted for obtaining from William Car penter a cart, value 281., by false pretences. It appealed from the evidence that the prosecutor is a wheelwright, living at Sunbury, and on the 25th of May last the prisoner went to him and entered into an agree ment for a cart, which he was to purchase for 28/., and which was to be delivered at the prisoner's residence at Laleham, near Feltham. The cart was accordingly taken to the prisoner's residence on the 26th of May, but the prosecutor was informed that the prisoner was not at home, he having gone to Staines, and that he had better take the cart back, which he did. The seine afternoon, however, the prisoner called upon him and said he would give him a cheque on a bank for the amount agreed upon. The prisoner wrote a cheque upon Ashley's Bank for 251., and said he would leave dl., because he did not wish to overdraw his account. The prosecutor then gave him • receipt for 251. The prosecutor paid the cheque into Ashley's Bank the following day, and two days after that he received a notice from the bank that the account in question was closed. He allowed his cart to gi on the faith that the prisoner had an account at the bank. He subsequently found that the cart had been taken to a Mr. Boden's, of 163, Waterloo-road, who had advanced 101. upon it until such time as he could find a customer for it. It seemed that when the prisoner called upon Mr. Bolen he asked him if he could ware- MIDLAND CIRCUIT. —Lusconv, Dec:. 5. house a cart for him, and asked him if he sold car riages upon commission; and he told him that he did (Before Sir W.

The prisoner then said that he had a cart at the Joseph Bones, labourer, aged 44, was charged with the Waterloo station, and gave Mr. Roden an order to fetch wilful murder of Eyre Peahen, at Billinghay, on the 16th it away.

For some years put an attractive looking young woman, named Shaw, who has a numbe r of relatives in this locality, has led a very dimoluate life, and fill' CODA derable period she cohabited with a journeyman butcher, natured Martin, who was formerly in the service of Mr. Edward Wilson, butcher, of Northbrook-street, but was discharged from his employment for theft. He subee quently conducted himself badly, and was committed to Reading Gaol for a brutal assault on the girl Shaw. He has recently returned to the neighbourhood, and last night he was seen drinking with her at a pnblio-house in the town, Shaw being in company with another man, who it appears accompanied her to her home, a short distance witlaout the boundary of the borough. At an early hour this morning Martin went to some neighbours of Shaw's, and inquired if they did not hear a row in the house last night, and replying in the affirmative they expressed their belief that he knew something about it. Afte he r this walked away, and the suspicions of the neighbours being aroused, the house of Shaw was entered , and the bedroom presented a frightful spectacle . The unfortunate woman was lying greatly disfigured an d q uite dead, and the man who had been seen in her company last night was found in a dreadful state of suffering. The murderer h a d evi dently used a butcher's implement and battered Shaw's head in a merciless manner, and it was clear that the poor creature had done the best to defend ff. herself with her hands, as several of her fingers were chop about, ped o Her paramour's head had also been beateu and the surgeons who were called in extracted sev eral pieces of his skull. He lies in a most precarious condition. It appears that the murderer, after conversing with the neighbours this morning, went to te walked public-house, took a gl ass of beer, and morni ng, ea t to Enborne, where he took off some of his clothes, and having tied his legs, jumped into the Kennet and Avon Canal, his body being found soon afterwards. The paramour of Shaw had lately come to Newbury to conduct a beer-house for his brother, who had b e en committed to gaol for some offence. An inquest will be held before the coroner for the the district to-morrow. The county of Berke has, during of thim past few years, been remarkably free from crimes serious character, and the excitement prevailing in the locality in consequence of this tragedy has not been equalled for a very considerable period. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST THE DEPUTY RECEIVER OF THE CHARTERHOUSE. BAIL COURT.—Dtc. 5. After Term Nisi Prius Sittings in Westminster.—(Before Mr. Justice Shee and a Special Jury.) PRINCE T. THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for injuries received through the alleged negligence of the defendants' servants. Mr. Bridgman was counsel for the plaintiff ; Sir George Honymsn and Mr. Waddy . were counsel for the defendants. The plaintiff is a cab driver, and on the aith December, 1865, he was travelling from Enfield. with his wife and child. The train was due at Bishorsgate station at 7.10, but owing to the excess of traffic it did not arrive until nearly eight o'clock. The train was very long, and being unable to entirely come under the covered station, the plaintiff, his wife, and child had to alight outside the sta tion, on a narrow platform. On the opposite aide of the platform is a narrow cutting for the accommodation of the Tilbury trains, and in consequence of there being no railings to protect the passengers and an insufficiency of light, plaintiff fell into the cutting and injured his knee. Plaintiff was assisted rip, and he and his wife and child went to the station-muter and complained, and in the course of the conversation the station-master said that he had been connected with railways for thirty years, but be had never known a place so unprotected where so few acci dents bail happened. Plaintiff was still suffering in his knee, but Mr. A. W. Moore, surgeon, of Bessborough street, Pimlico, said he did not think it would be of a per manent character. On the part of the defence several witnesses were culled ; among them Mr. Wendover, from the engineer's office, who said that if a railing were pot up in the middle of the platform it might protect the public. but it would materially impede the traffic. Mr. Godfrey, the station-master, denied the accuracy of the plainti ff ' s statement with regard to the conversation that took place between them. He r knew that other accidents bad hap- pened at this spot. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 631., with a recommendation to the company to erect a rail near where the accident happened. (Before a Common Jury.) Hilt-ST v. ASIITON.-FALSE IMPRISONMENT. This was an action for false imprisonment. The de fendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. IlmliHeston, Q.C., and Mr. Sleigh were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Serjeant Parry, Mr. Sharpe, and Mr. Pearce were counsel for the defendant. Tho defendants a surgeon in Cavendish-square, and the plaintiff hail been occasionally employed by him as butler iu the absence of the permanent butler. Two ser vices of plate had been entrusted to the plaintiff to clean, but he was unable to clean the larger service, and be locked it up in the cupboard. In the evening be went for a ' , bort time to smoke his pipe and read the evening news paper, and he returned to the defendant's house before going home to sleep. In the morning the plaintiff discovered that the largest service had disappeared, and while he was making sTarch for it the defendant appeared, and on ascer taining what hail occurred gave directions for a police constale to be sent for; the plaintiff besought the de fendant to have a search made in the house before resort ing to so extreme a measure, but a policeman, however. arrived in the meantime, and certain questions were put to the plaintiff. At first he denied that be went out the previous evening, but afterwards admitted that he had been out for a short time. Upontlie suggestion of the de fendant the plaintiff acoumpanieda policeman to thestation, where after the lapse of ashort time the defendant ap peared and formaßy signed the charge-sheet on which the plaintiff was accused on suspicion of stealing the plate. The plaintiff was locked up and taken before a magis trate, who remanded him. He was thereupon conveyed to the House of Detention, where he was locked up all night. About nine o'clock the following morning the plate was discovered in a cupboard which was used for the reception of clothes. The defendant, on ascertaining it, went to the police-station and gave orders for the plain tiff's liberation. Plaintiff subsequently applied for re dress, but the defendant refused, and this action was brought. The learned counsel for the defendant urged that it was not his client who had given the plaintiff into custody, but the inspector of Marlborough-street police-sta tion ; and he only charged him with an offence after he had been given into custody by the con stable to the inspector at the station ; that he was not in custody when be accompanied the constable to the station, and it was only on the suggestion of the inspector that be was formally charged with the felony. The learned judge told the jury that the defendant was not liable if they thought he had not given the plaintiff into custody, but if they should be of a different opinion, they would then consider what amount of damages the plaintiff was entitled to receive. 5 f Verdict for the plaintiff—damages 150/. -book COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Dec. 5. Sittings at Nisi Prior in3liddlesex.—(Before Lord Mel Justice Bovill ands Special Jury.) LEWIS T. CRICKETT. This was an action to recover damages for an illega. distress. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., end Mr. Roll appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Kingston, for the defendant. The plaintiff was an auctioneer in business in Coleman street, City, and living at Stoke Newington-green. in a house belonging to the defendant. The house was let to the plaintiff in 1862, upon lease, and there was the usual covenant that the plaintiff should repair. On the 10th of October last the defendant wrote to the plaintiff, as be had done on previous occasions, requesting him to pay the Michaelmas rent to Mr. Williams, of the firm of Kingdon and Williams,his solicitors. The letter was taken bye clerk of Messrs. Kingdon and Williams to the plaintiff, whoasked for an allowance for the cost of repairing a part of the drawing room ceiling, which had fallen through, the laths being rotten. The request was refused, when a few days' delay occurred, and the plaintiff asked time to consult his soli citor. On the 15th the clerk again saw the plaintiff, and read to him a letter of the defendant, threatening to die- I train if the plaintiff refused to pay the rent. On the same day the plaintiff consulted his solicitor, and finding that he had no legal claim in reference to repairing the ceiling, be, at 10 o'clock on the morning of the 16th, wrote to Messrs. Kingdon and Williams, sayingthat if theywould send a clerk with the receipt he would hand him a cheque for the rent, leaving all other questions for settle ment as he might be advised. Mr. Williams was out, and the defendant's receipt could not be found ; but, later in the day, the plaintiff handed the clerk the cheque, and received a receipt from him. At 2 o'clock on the following day • distress was put in for the rent, and when the plaintiff got home he found a man in poasession, and had to pay the rent again before he could get the man withdrawn. Another circumstance I was that the plaintiff said that he was particularly anxious to prevent a distress being put in, in consequence of the oondition of hie wife at the time. . 11 ~, o'' , 1 , ; .
