A MARRIED WOMAN'S GRIEVANCE
AGAINST 4 LADY.

Smith v. Younghnsband again came before the
magistratee on Wednesday, when there were present
13. Hopkins, Esq., J. N. Robson, Esq., and J.
Landie. Req.
Mr. Sidney Waddington appeared for the defendant,
and stated that Miss Younghusband would not be
"In answer to the Magistrates' Clerk, the plaintiff,
Mr,. Smith, said she should like to hive the case
adjourned, because her eolicit ir had withdrawn, and
she should like to get anothsr one.
The Magistrates' Clerk: The fact of your 'solicitor
having withdrawn is rather against you. I have had
a letter from your solicitor, lasting that he recom.
mended you to settle the case, and you would not.
Mrs. Smith: Yes, and I want to get another
solicitor. . _

A magistrate thought the Bench ought not to be
troubled again to come to hear the cue. It had been
adjourned with the consent of both parties in order to
be settled.

Mrs. Smith said it was adjourned for her husband
to come. He ought to have been there earlier, instead
of not being there till 12 o'clock.
Mr. Hopkins thought they ought to hear what the
complaint was.
The Magistrates' Clerk : Have you any complaint to
make against Was Younglimbead?
Mr. Waddington said lilt was necemary to go into
the reason It. merits, he had • sufficient answer; but
meantime he had to take an exception, in the nature
of demurrer, and he said that even if this complaint
were true—which be did not allow—yet, nevertheless,
their worshioe had no jurisdiction under this cam to
bind over Miss Younghusbend to hoof good behaviour.
Mr. Hopkins, to Oaintiff : You say you want the
case adjourned to get another soliciter. It was
adjourned yesterday, with the consent of all parties;
will not you let the summons be dismissed, and take
out • fresh one if you wish'
Mr. Waddington • The summons being dismissed,
I ebould certainly ask for costa.
. . . .

Mr Landis really felt that to bring the magistrates
here three times foe one sueh PPM would be rather an
unusual thing. Mrs. Smith, knowing that her girdle tor
had withdrawn, ought to have been prepared with
another, or to go on with the case. Had not her
solicitor recommended her to settle the came
Mrs. Smith assented.
Mr. Lundie : it is at your application we have
met here this morning at personal inconvenience
have met, and I feel that if you have anything to say
in the matter you had better state the cue at once.
You no doubt, do seam Wt II OA a solicitor, for we
should not be governed by what be might say.
Tbe Maristrates' Clerk: What is the nature of the
case? Is it for esiling names?
Mm. Smith: Yee, sir.
The Magi.trates Clerk: I think that is all.
Mrs. Smith : I think that it quite enough; my
character is at stake.

The Magistrates' Clerk : The msgistrates can only
take It with the view of binding her over to keep the
peace. If your character is at stake, that would be
more of • civil action.
Mrs. Smith: I would rather have it adjourned.
Mr. Hopkins : We cannot adjourn it again.
Mrs. Smith: If you cannot adjourn it I had better
go into it,
She th.n gave her evidenoe.
Mary Smith: I &MI the wife of James Smith. I
went to manage • ho ute and shop for Miss
Younahushand On the 30th December she called
me names in the house in Williametreet, opposite St.
John's School. She first of all said I was kept by two
married men. I left the room, but went back to her
and told her I should make her prove her words in
Court. Then I brought forward to her what her
brother had to'd me abut two mouths before, that if
I wished to keep myself reepectable, I ought to have
nothing more to do with her, when Miss Youngtmsband
sail— • Yes, and he told in you were a prostitute."
Mr. Hopkins : That is the substance of the language
made use of, and you say it is sufficient to incite you
ounmit • breach ut tbe peace?
Mr. Waddingtoo sail the the substanoe of this cum.
plaint wad that Miss Younghusband called her most
opprobrious names, and if it were true, which be
denied, it would be most Improper; hut not much as
would justify the Bench in ordering that Miss Young-
husband should be bound over to keep the pesos. He
had to sub nit to the Bench that the mere calling of
names was not sufficient to canoe • pomp to be bound
over, and he referred to • case—Phillips v. the Justices
of Gateshead—where an ex•policeman took • great
dislike to his ex-chief and went all over the town using
Insulting language. The supt. applied to the ina,is-
testes I. hind this policeman over to keep the peace,
because the inapt himself alleged the language would
canoe him to commit a breach of the peace. The
Justices of Gateshead ultimately did bind the prisoner
over. But on an &ppm! the Court of Queen's Bench,
the Lord Chief Justice of England sitaing.quashed the
oonviction on the ground that • condition precedent
was the oath by the applic.uit that he went in bodily
fear, but exactly she converse. fbat was the MI6 ;
applicant says that defendant used such language that:
she herself is in danger of breaking the peace, and she
asks for defenandt to be bound over. But tbe *cum.

s'ances recdering it poetible fordefendant to be bound
over were that defendant oh ml I he likely to commit
t breach of the peace, but Ott is not the cal,.
Applic.int must also 'mese that she goes in bodily
far of Mice Yonnrhusband. tie would produce Mi..
Younghusband it it errc nmes.ary, but he urged that
the applicant had shown no C 4 46 for her application
being granted.
Mr. tiopkins (ti applictot) : Do you go In bodily

Mrs. Smith : No, not in b Any fear.
The Mvistia•es' Clerk : 1),1 you think that Miss
