ii;:Serjeant Wilkins snd Alb. Chitty appeared for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Hugh Hill and Mr. Hawkins for the de-
fendant.

hood. The defendant's servsnttook the dog, which was of the
Newfoundland breed, to the plaintiff's shop, when the dog
wined the plaintiff's child and carried it into the street,
and there bit it severely. The child, which was only three

marks on its face for the rest of its life.

It was stated for the defendant that he had paid the sur-
geon's bill, and 51. into court.
The learned Judge having summed up,
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 201., besides

JEFFERZYS D. EDMONDS.-OMNIIMS ACCIDENT.

The plsintiff. a journeyman baker, sought to recover
compensation in damages for injury sustained by the
alleged negligence of a servant of the defendant, the pro-
prietor of an omnibus. It appeared that the plaintiff got
on one of the cheap omnibuses in Holborn, to go to Pad-
dington, and when it reached the cabstand by Day and
Martin's, the driver seeing an abundance of room on the
offside, drove in that direction. He observed a Bayswater
omnibus coming towards him, but still there was sufficient
room for the two vehicles to pass. Before that object,
however, could be effected, the driver of the defendant's
omnibus tried to get a head of the omnibus on which the
plaintiff was riding. In doing this the collision took place
which resulted in the accident. The plaintiff's leg was
severely jammed by the projecting seat of defendant's
omnibus; he was at once conveyed to the hospital of which
he remained an in-patient for six weeks, and was afterwards
an out-patient for ten weeks. Plaintiff lost his situation,
and was consequently unable to continue a little shnp pre-
viously carried on by his wife.
For the defence it was endeavoured to be shown that
there had been carelessness on the part of the driver of the
omnibus on which the plaintiff was riding when the acci-
dent occurred.
The jury found for the plaintiff—damages NI.

THE POLICE COURTS.
LAMBETH.

Jain ClapUm, a pone7attisWaterloo Station of the
South Western Railway Company, and who up to the pre-
sent transaction maintained a good character, was finally
examined on a charge of stealing a purse containing from
15 to 20 shillings, the property of Mrs. Solly, the wife of a
clergyman at Wandsworth.
Front the evidence adduced, it appeared that at a quarter
to 1 o'clock Mrs. Sully drove up to the station in a Hansom
cab, and was attended to by the prisoner. On getting out
' of the vehicle the lady proceeded to the first-class pay place,
and immediately after mimed her purse. The prisoner was
observed by a policeman to get on the step of the cab after
Mrs. folly got out, and to have a nurse in his hand, which
he appeared to take out of the vehicle, and followed the
lady into the office. The purse, however, was not restored;
and this circumstance, as well as the fact of the prisoner
having boen missed irons the platform ter 10 minutes, led
to a suspicion against the prisoner. He was taken before
Mr. Godson, Mr. Young, and Mr. Scott, when he at first
denied attending to • lady who came in a cab or finding a
purse in the vehicle. He was searched, and from 15 to 20
shillings in silver found on him.
Mr. Norton considered the cue a very proper one for
investigation, and one in which be considered a jury would
not find much difficulty to convict on. The only point in
the prisoner's favour was the feet that the purse had not
been found, and that the one discovered in the water-closet
was not the one missing.
Mrs. folly, when asked what was her wish on the sub-
ject, said she was at present in a very delicate state of
health, and the attendance to prosecute would be produc-
tive of great inconvenience, if not absolute danger to her.
Her impression, she said, was, that it was the prisoner's
intention, in the first instance, to have restored her purse to
her, (but not seeing her at the moment, and supposing that
she had gone by the train that had just started, the tempta-
tion was too great.
Mr. Norton thought this the proper solution of the cue,
and not wishing to put Mrs. folly to inconvenience, or to
deal summarily in the matter, he should discharge the
prisoner.
