SHERIFFS' COURT.—Ssrr. 12.
(Before Mr. GIBBONS.)
MORLEY O. SPINCE.—IMPORTANT TO LADIES SHOPPING.
This was an action to recover the value of a dress sold by
defendant to Miss Morley, who alleged tbst she purchased
it under a reprosentatioo that it would wash.
The plaintiff said that she bought the drew, and made
the usual inquiry as to the washing capability of the fabric,
when she was assured that it would wash well. She would
not swear that the word " warranted" was used, but the
would swear that she understood the shopman as to the
dress being washable.
Defendant—Now, did not the shopman say that it would
wash as well as dresses of the same kind and colour"
Witness—No.
Defendant—Did be not show you some colours that would
stand better?
Witness—No.
Defendaut then urged that no warranty bad been given,
and that he instructed his young men not to warrant any-
thing.
Mr. Spence, senior, said be did not warrant the dress, but
said it would wash as well as dresses of the same kind and
colour.
His Honour—Let me see the drew.
Plaintiff produced the article, which, being compared with
an unwashed piece, seemed much faded, and said that she
washed it herself.
Defendant —I offered Is., so that, as an boost trades-
man, no fault might be found, and my young men were most
polite.
His Honour—lt is a pity that sum was sot accepted.
The question for me is not what are your instructions to
your young men, but what was the impression conveyed to
the plaintiff by your young men when the dress was sold.
lam sorry to say that there is a kind of lax morality in
trade which should not exist, and I find for the plaintiff Is.
damages and coats.

THE FORGED BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.—
Three forged fel. notes were paid in to Mears. Moore and
Robinson's bank in this town • few days ago ; and their
character not being recognised they were paid over in the
course of business to Messrs. Smith's bank, but the clerk
in that establishment foiled that they were forged, and re-
turned them to Messrs. Moore and Robinson's, on whom the
loss will fall, as they are unable to trace the person who
paid them over to them. The notes are very good imita-
tions. The chief defect io their appearance is in the print-
ing, which is not executed in quite en workmanlike a manner
as the genuine notes. It is also slightly narrower than in
good ones.—Nottingham Journal.
THE NEW POACHING A cr.—This measure has
been discovered to be seriously defective. It is doubtful,
from the wording of the statute, whether • policeman, to
any out its provisions, can go • step beyond the county,
borough, or place to which he is appointed. The right of
search also is said to be restricted to any highway, street,
or public plies so that if a poacher is on pnvate land he
cannot be touched. If be sees a policeman coming towards
him on the highway he has only to get on the other side
of the hedge into a field, and ho cannot be molested.
SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT TO A BARRISTER.
—Yesterday Dr. Lenkester held an inquest at the Lord
Wellington, University-street, on the body of Mr. Matthew
Crawford, • barrister in reduced circumstances, lodging at
20, Victoria-terrace, Portland-town. From the evidence it
appeared that the deceased lied been run over by a cab, and
bad received • severe wound on his nose, from which tetanus
bad supervened. He was removed to University College
Hospital, bat he died soon afterwards. Verdict ac-
cordingly.
FATAL AccIDENT IN A SAND-PIT.—On Monday,
about noon, as three men were digging out sand on Furze.
ham-common, for Mr. 0. H. Bartlpurctt., rho is inclosing •
portion of the common lately of the Inclosure
Commissiowrs), a large portion of the superincumbont
earth fell down, killing Jams feticide and injuring two
other men who were working with him. Mickle was • native
of Zetland. He has only resided here for the last two or
three years, and we regret to say he has left a wile and
family to mourn his untimely end. We understand that be
hes been in a better position of life. For some yews be
was a hind or farm bailiff to Sir Massey Loper, after which
he took • small state, but not having sufficient capital be
was usable to carry it on profitably, and was therefore
obliged to give it up. He has now for some time past
worked as • day labourer, and Mr. Bartlett, his late em-
ployer, speaks of him as • sober, industrious man. An
ingest will be held in • day or two by the new coroner,
Mr. F. B. Caning, who was elected to the office on Wednes-
dey.—Plpinouth ,foveae/.
THE POWDER MILL EXPLOSION NEAR REDRUTH.
—An inquest was held or. the bodies of the six sufferers who
perished in the explosion of Naposkirke powder-mill, on
Telemeter laid. The jury footed a verdict of " Accidental
Death." On Thursday morning two persons were killed by
the breaking of a rope at the Tywanibals Copper Mine, in
the same neighbourhood.
THE CROPS IN THE NORTH OP IRELAND.—A week
of uninterrurted fine weather has advanced the cereal crops
almost to the point when they will be ready for reaping.
Shearing has, indeed, already commenced in many places,
and in the course of • few days it will be general through-
out the province of Ulster. Wheat, as we have often
remarked, will be below an average, but very much
better than was thought possible • month ago. Oats are
a very indifferent yield, but they have wonderfully im-
proved under the influence of the late genial sunshine.
The potato disease is still confined to the stalks, the tubers
being sound and abundant, and all our correspondents
unite in the opinion that potatoes will be • better yield
than we have had for many years past. Beans sre reported
to have a superabundance of straw and a deficiency of pada
Hay is all saved, sod the exoellesce and abundance of this
ow will fully make up for the deficiency io the straw of
cereals for cattle feeding. The winter's stock of turf is plated
beyond danger, and most of the farmers have been able to
save both this and hut year's cutting. Turnips and man-
gels, which were much retarded by the long-continued wet
weather, are DOA affording promise of a tolerable crop.
Upon the whole, the prospects of the farmers are highly
favourable. The reports SI to the state of the flax have
always been most cheeriest. but they are now even better
than before.—Northern Whig.
