of performance at the Alhambra Palace, Lebrestee-equsre.
A Mn. Donglits, a native of Doocester, Yorkshire, has un-
dertakes the extraordinary task of walking a thomned

appears, performed the earns feat in Australia, in 1859, li
walking the 999th mile in 16 minutes, and the I.oooth mile in
13 minutes 42 seconds. At the conclusion of bar task she
showed bet little symptom of fatigue, and expressed herself
convinced that she could then walk so additions! 501:1 miles.
She is to all appearatios about 50 years of aget of rather
diminutive stature, sod is the mother of seven children. A
' wooden platform contiguous with the alive is erected
round the entire arm of the hall, &roped which
the pedestrian walks Mamma times to the mile.
The time-keeper, Mr. Martin, preside' in the

snakes the circuit, be proclaims the fact, at the same time
turtling up the identical number. At *very 19th rotted, he

_ UM= V. GAM._ . . .

This was an action brokwals7rlit• provisions d the
set el parliament of tGeorge 11., to roomer penalties
from the defendant for having pertatesd musk and damming
upon hie premises without a homes.
Yr. Hawidne, Q. 0., and Mr. Kemp were for the
plaintiff ; Berjeant Ballantine, Mr. Hannon, and Mr. IL
Howard were for the defendant.

The &fondant in this action, Carlo Gatti, formerly kept
tie noted penny ice establishment at Hangerford•msrkat,
and since that building Ina hese removed for the purposes of
the Charing-cross railways, be has opened a similar este-
blialunest in the Westminster-road. At this pleas eater-
Minutest@ of a theatrical character, it appeared, were given
otiosaimally, and on some evenings the militia were admitted
free, and on other by refreshment ticket. The defendant
bad no license, and the prompt action was brought to recover
certain penalties fixed by Monet of parlimmutabove reigned
to, for baring permitted musts and dancing without such
aathority.
The case was adjourned on Thursday evening, and to-
day it wee announced that the defendant had consented
to a verdict for 304 to pay all oats, and to enter Into an
undertaking not to repeat his eatertalamente until he had
obtained a &ens,. _ . _ _

—A
rather curious scene conned I. this court dais( the
day. There were no less than shame common jury causes
placed on the list to be triad, which it was naturally thought
would* quite sufficieet to occupy the day. As they were
called ea, however, it turned oat that so coanssi had been
instructed on either side, that neither &Mersey. nor wit-
mamas were present, and cousequently nothing could be
dons. The leaned judge waited very patiently for • coon-
*cab* time to enable the peeks to make their appear-
ance, but it turned out, as was generally anti dpated at the
ooramenoseneat of the assizes, thee the pester part of the
MOM were, is reality, **deeded, sad had only been
brought down to the arises either for the purpose of pining
tints, or, ia some cams, compelling parties spinet whom
there really was no well-founded claim to come to some com-
promise rather than incur the cost of coming down to the
assizes. The consequent's of this we., that one after
another, about • dozen causes were struck oat of the list,
and it was at am time doubtful whether the court would
not have to *jeers on amount of bevies no Wainer to
go on with.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)
The proosedinp in this wart were somewhat similar to
those detailed in the other. It was understood that none
but special fury cases would be taken, and eight canes*
were pieced in the list The only ono of them that was
tried, however, was that of Carlton tr. Standring, which was
an adios to recover damages for Wary dime to a Han-
som cab-hens by a collision with • van belonging
to the defeadants. The jury in this are pre • verdict for
the plaintiff, with 251. damages. The next ease called on was
that of !hut v. Hillier. This was an action by Ka
official sang** under • bankruptcy to recover passrion
of
by him from the I. this
a quantity of brandy that wee claimed listeivendant as
having been purchmed
eme Mr. Lush, Q.C. Serjeant Balbotins, sad Matthew
were counsel for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and
Yr. Archibald for the defendant. It appeared that Tommy,
the bankrupt, was a hotel-keeper at Southampton and at
Gosport, and that be was made • bankrupt upon his own
petition, hi debts being to a very considerable amount.
The brandy in question was in bonded warehouses at
Southampton at the time of the bankruptcy, sad the de.
**ant est up • claim to it by purchase hem the bank
rapt.
After some evidence had been given the defendant agreed
that the brandy should be given up, and consented to
• verdict for the plaintiff.
All the remaining special jury canoes were either with-
drawn or settled, and shortly after one o'clock the court
*jaunted.
It should be remembered by suitors that the whole of
the remaining common jury causes, and also all the special
jury eases, that are not fixed to be taken next week will be
in the list this (Saturday) morning, end that if the parties
are not in attend** their muses will be struck out. Both
courts will also sit punctually at nine o'clock.

The priaooer made a statement to the effect that he bad
been dining with a friend in the neighbourhood, and left
his house about 10 o'clock for the purpose of getting some
papers. He returned at • quarter pest 11 or a quarter to
12 o'clock, when he remised till 1 o'clock. He had been
very unwell lately, and he west round so the mews, after
faihrig to find a cab at the Di ayton Arms, to a waste pees
of ground, when he was arrested. He denied using the
expreeloa which the polies attributed to him, and what
be rid was, " What do you mess?" He she complained
ot the conduct of the polioe-offiesr who took the charge in
not bearing the matebie ememely et ter he (the prisoner)
had requested it to be dem.
Yr. Name Clark, of N. 8, Boltoes, the friend alluded
to by the prisoner was examined, and he confirmed his
statement. He said the prisoner did not leave his house
until after the clock had struck one. Witness went up
stain to his room, and soon afterwards be hard a noise,
which must Mee been his friend's arrest at the beck of his

examined. He said he had known the prisoner for four
years, and he always lodged with him when in town. He
pee similar evidence as to the Flamer returning home and

Mr Maroon thought there had been a peat mistake, and
that it dodo from the ezeessive fondness of the polio, to
identify persons whom they bad never new before and on
a dark eight. It was clearly peeved that it could not bare
beta the primmer, and there was not the alighted doubt
that his account was cornet Be further remarked that it
was excessively loafeir oc the part of the police not to
examine the constables separately when requested. He
thought it was the paramount duty of those who tack charges
to examine the witedees separately, sod not in the prenenos
of Gee another. It wee only fair to any person who was
charged with an °Moos. He than discharged the prisoner,
and said he thought there wan Doi any evidence apeat
After the prisoner and his friends had left the court,
Sergeant Marshall said the constables did not say one
word after the objection had been made.

Mr. Hayman sail that explanation should hare been
given in the presence of the accused, and then it could have
bass inquired into. Hie worship, however, adhered to his
determination of marking the sheet with an expresdon of

THE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT MARGATL.—
After four days' investigatioe the inquest ce the body of
Mrs. Lock, killed ia the railway collision on Monday, has
beep brought to a atone. Several witnesses were examined
cal Thursday after our parcel was despatched ; and on the
remsembling of the jury at two &Wolk yesterday afternoon,
the coroner reed over the whole of the evidence The jury
them retired, and eventually returned the following verdict:
—"The jury Sad that Susannah Lock met with an or
'iciest which caused her death, os the Ist of
August, 1854, at the South Resters Railway terminus,
Margate, by the collision' of a mail tnia doe at Margate
at L 35 p.m., bat which did not arrive till 35 mi-
nutes late, with a stationery up train waiting
to be dempatr.hed ; and the jury are of opinion that neglect
of duty by the guard, Henry Marshall, of Ashford, and the
inspector, Wm. Darby, of Ramage* was the primary mass
of the collision and comequent death of Mn. Lock. And
the jury are further of °pinks that the prompt arranger
musts of the Margate Statics of the South Eastern Railway
are insufficient for the accommodation of the traffic, sad

OA the railway company aught to take an early opportunity
to make such alterations as will prevent similar accidents
far the fotws." The aroma said the finding of the jary
was equivalent to a verdkt of manslaughter against Henry
Marshall and Wm. Darby.
