THE FIRE AT THE NORTH SHORE MILLS.

WILLIAMS V. WILLIAms.--The plaintiff, a working
carpenter, sued the defendant, a master carpenter, for
£22 4s. 11d. under the following circumstances. • From
1858 to 1859 the plaintiff was engaged in constructing
the woodwork of houses erected by the defendant. In
1859 a fire occurred at the North Shore Mills, which
extended to the yard, and destroyed a quantity of doors,
sashes, &c., amounting to the sum claimed. The plain-
tiff was in Wales at the time. There was a running
account between the parties extending from 1858, and a
dispute as to the amount occurred. Plaintiff being
the responsible fireman at the yard, defendant said that
he must make good the amount of damage by the fire,
ultimately saying, however, "Go on with your work,
and do what is just." After a good deal of discussion
the matter was referred to Mr. Grant, to decide what
was just and right between the parties, and the jury
were instructed to return a verdict under these condi-
tions for the plaintiff.
TUMELTY V. BACON.—Mr. Tumelty is the executive
of his father, who died in November last, and he
brought the action against the defendant for £96 Os. 2d.
for work done. The debt was not disputed. It was for
discharging the Anne Vernon. A set-off was, however,
made, and Mr. Bacon was called, who stated that in
February, 1859, he sold a quarter share of the Alceste
to Mr. Tumelty (deceased), who, however, in conse-
quence of some disagreements in his family, placed her
in the name of his son, the present plaintiff. The price
of the share was £4OO ; £2OO was paid down, and a bill
was given for the remainder. The defendant continued
as the ship's "husband." In April the vessel was
totally lost. Defendant sent in an account for £162,
which was now advanced as a set-off, and which con-
sisted of advance notes, a policy, and £l5B, loss on the
vessel up to her last voyage. When the bill was sent
in Mr. Tumelty, jun., protested against Mr. Bacon
putting the loss in the Alceste against the Anne Vernon.
Mr. Deighton contended that the set-off, consisting of
accounts against the Alceste, the property of Mr. J.
Tumelty, could not be advanced against an account of
Mr. Patrick Tumelty for work done in respect of the
Anne Vernon. Verdict for defendant.

AN UNNATURAL DAUGUTErt.
A girl about nineteen years of age, named Mary
Woods, was charged by her mother, Bridget Woods, for
having assaulted her. The mother, who seemed to be a
decent person, gave a bad account of her daughter's
conduct, and stated that on the previous evening she
went after her to a public-house to take her away from
bad company, when the prisoner turned on her, gave
her two blows, and knocked her down. She had cbarged
her hoftwP with a similar crime, and she was sent to gaol
for a month. Mr. names asked thn pricrmpr what eha
had to say to such a horrible charge ? She replied, I
have nothing to say. Mr. Raffles: It is a fearful thing
to see a young woman like you charged with the offence
of beating your mother ; your parent is now getting
old, and your duty is to cherish and protect her, instead
of ill-treating her. This is not even the first time you
have been here for such an offence, and I now sentence
you to three months' hard labour.

nued severity of the weather, this meeting will not take place
