Evidence was also given by other wieners, to the effect that

Oa the other skits Miss Baboon Isaac*, the de feudist.
was called, and she rave the following evident*. Part of
the first arrangement with the plaintiff was that b. was to
act se stags manager, and we. to write or adept whatever
pieces were necessary. Upon the ueoad arrangement
he was to nosh* 21. a weak certain, and his
duties were to remain the same. He never said
if his pious were played be should expect to be
paid. 1 never agreed to pay his an extra suss for the ass
of the pieties. Mr. Salford said he wished to play Little
Devil for his benefit, bat he would milt It Lade Dram, and
alter it so as to arcid author's fem. I made no profit at the
Strand, bat lost my whole time and 601. besides. The Pd
of the Public was written by Stirling without soege, and
Tally, who was present at rehearsal, suggested that coops
Amid be iatredsoed, and he eke* sa air. He proposed to
write the words, bat he had no time, and bo called Milford

the piece. Tally wrote some matrustioos on a piece of paper,
and plaintiff maid he would do what was suggested. He
asked me it I would sing it. It is usual now to be paid for

Mr. lialtord and I went through it, and we made any alter-
ation that eaggested themselves. I told him it was neces-
sary to register it, and asked would be like to he registered,
and he said "No," and I said I should register it. Mr.
Raiford suggested the title el Aug Queer.
Several other vitamins were sailed, and the substance of
their testimemy was, that the plaintiff bad sot been refused
en temptation of the hooks at the Strand Theatre, sad that
TAa Uals DIMON woo substantially the same as Archer's
Astwodatst, and that all the plaintiff bed dose was, as one of
the witnesses said, to "wimp us" his own port.
At the conclusion of the nue several questions of law were
liaised, and were saved for the opinion of the court.
Mr. Justice Crowder, in sunning up, said that the
greater part of the decluation was framed to recover pe-
nalties for representing the plalaufre pine without his pet-
unias, but hla runnel early in the ease had abeadoesd
that put of it. The priseipal claim now seemed to be foe

' Creee.esmiwied—l did not se the gestalt of beef till
they were is the art. Tie seat sized wee very bad. Hr.
Daeldsea did not sell sy attention to the quarters till they
were wad.

The defendant said that he and his partner were site
settler ignorant of the alleged condition of the meat. He
bed, he assured the Lord Mayor, sold the whole of the
eight quarters by the chereeter of one quarter, and Mr.
Fish. r bad passed four and seised the others. He was by no
mouse aware that sty of the meat woe unsound. and Mr.
Figur might have coadenused the eight quarters. He (de,
fondant) would not have disputed with him. The meat
was very poor, but there was no suspicion upon the part of
his partner and himself as to the uneounduess. lbe eight
quarters had been lest upfront the country.
The Lord Mayor—Defendant, I consider that this cue is
indeed a very bad one, Yon and your earner are secured
of havir.g sild a qua .city of meet f:r human food, eno
the accasetion has been proved la the strongest manner.
It is in my power to fiat you in as 1.. w a penalty
ae forty shillings, or in se high a peoe.ty as 201. I consider
it to be my duty to 1111113, the highest. There cannot, in
my °pinkie, be a greater offence then that of relliog un-
wholesome ti 04. It is the founds ion I have no doubt
the great variety of diseases which cannot be oth.r wise
accounted for, and the e 6 at arm the poor is drool, to be
dophred, and most he met by the, strongest measure. of
prevention in the power of a magistrate to apply. You
have no azure for the cisamicion of this offence, for you
must have known that the meat which you sold at such a
price could not have been wholesome.
The defendant—My lord, you are aware that this meat
was eonsigned to =from the country.
The Lord Mayer—My deeloon will operate am a caution
to your correspondents in the country, as weU SS to your-
s/lose. You are brought here es an offender against the
public, and particularly against the poorer classes. If you
are not satisfied with my sentence, which Is, that you pay
the highest amount, you can a; peal to the Quarter &sojourn ;
but I consider myself bound, as a magistrate, to hiffict the
eatr.me penalty, aid I at the sane time take this oppor-
tunity to declare that in every case which may be brought
before me in which evidence shall be given of diesels of bad
meat, I shall floe to the utmost extent. I bops it will go
forth to the public through the most convenient and useful
channels, that such b the determination of the chief magi/-
teat*, and I have no doubt that my brother magistrate, will
act pree:sely fa the same way.
The defendant—l .hall certainly appeal against the de.
Melon, my lord; sad I really think you may dispose of the
ere ►y snowing me to put a couple of 'minds in the poor-

the Lord Mayor—Not at all. Vitals no poor•box sass.
The defendant—Yoe will not, toy lord, as a citizen of
London, indict ouch a penalty upon a fellow-citisea. I have
committed no offices whatever. I rut your lordship will
deal summarily with the case.
The Lord Mayor—l have dealt summarily with it. There
must be an end pet to such a trains. Complaints of sin-
wholesome fo>d abound everywhere, and to aliow a case of
this kid to pus without marking It would be unpardonable.
I shall in every future cam theism come befit.* me enforce
the extreme penalties, and I am mo•t anxious that the pub-
lic should be informed of that determination.

tain the name and address of the holder, it would be open
to him to proceed, and it would rest with him to consider
whether the party was worth suing.
