0/ WOl[l.—Cal/OLIIII AT FAULT.
This wee a feigned imne ordered to be triad by the Court of
Chancery between the plaintiffs sad the dot adan* ht order
to emanate the exact nghts of the bile with regard to •
certain footpath oannecting the Uxbridge and Brantford
road.. At tint it seemed se if the plaintiffs were about to
contest the right of the public to the use of the footpath In
qut stion at all, but it was Meetly made apparent that the
whole grist in dispute was as to the deovription of gate iv
stile which the plaintille ware to be allowed to erect at the
and el the km" Imemilitlely adjoining the Uxbridge-road.
The history of the cam is very Monty this :—The
Milr• Mealier sad slater, are the owners of some
atireen the IWO made, and from time immemorial the
mMSe have bad a right of way along • narrow lane bound-
ing the western side of these fields, and at the bottom of
which, a: the Uxbridge end, was • gate or stile leading to
tha high toed. This gate or stile was temporarily displaosd
by the Malan& some while tack, in order to facilitate certain
building operations going on in one of their fields; but these
operations completed, • new gate or alike woe erected. Now it
happens that a church war opened not very long ago • little
way down the U abridge-road from the spot where the fan
dekonchea and the consequence is that on Sundays the lane 1
is • good deal more thronged than It used to be through
permits going to and coming from the church. Well, it fell
wet that on a oevtaln Sunday in this present year of grace it
Game on to rain very heavily during church hours, and the
rain continuing to doem-pour when the service was over the
ammegation were very awn to get home quickly. to order, if
one ad& say so, to sans appearasons. In this way it came
to per that the ingress to the lam got choked, no doubt to
thermal disquietude of many ladies mid the greet profit of
mow only one person being able torpa at • time.
Mr. Lush (with whom wa Mr. C. Corns and Mr. Heats)
was prepared to show that the accommodation formerly
allowed to the public had bees greatly [striated upon by the
plaintiffs in their sew erection ; and on behell of that public
he contended that it was a Anton" according to a model
produced in court, which ought to he raised at the end of the
lone.

Dr. Godfrey, of Mount-place, iiiitechapel-road, came Info
court soon stow three o'clock, and immediately afterwards a
tall powerful old man, named Suchen, who wee covered
with blood, got into the 'Mama-box, and applied to Mr. Belk
for a summons against the doctor for assaulting him. He
said he was paring the doctor's house, and looked up,
when Dr. Godfrey came out and said, " Do you know me f"
He answered, " No, and don't want to know you," where-
upon the doctor struck him a violent blow in the face with
hl eat

Mr. Rolfe said he might have a summons.
Dr. Godfrey said he was quite ready to enter upon the de-
fence at once; but Mr. Self. refused to hear ',him until the
proper day appointed for the return of the summons.
Ashcan( Bsnglians (a bag maker), &aattWJ Romaine (a
Jew boy), and Mary Jam Messenger (a mantel woman)),
were then charged with brine in • crowd opposite Dr. God-
frey's house, and creating a diattubanoe. It appeared that •
number of people have been in the habit of congregating W-
I fore Dr. Godfrey's, and shouting at him and insulting him
wherever he was to be met with, to the swims annoyance of
the whole neighbourhood.
. _

The &Masts said they only joined the crowd, but had
takes so port to the disturbance.
Mr. es* said it was a diegraoefal sad scandalous outrage
that the people should amemble In this way, and that Dr.
Goelmiy should not be able to go about his businem without
befarolostsd and insulted in the manner described.
defendants promised not to go to the house again, or
to sunoy the complainant, end were discharged, the magis-
trate* telllas them that if they were brought up spin be
the ofhmoe, Le should certainly commit them t 3 prison.
Dr. Godfrey said he was afraid there would be • further
dieturbance. He had been subjected to this sort of ann-
ance for the last four months, ever since be had gain& •
verdict in the Coast of Common Plea,. It was not the peo-
ple in the neighbourhood who insulted him, but a number

This was an action to mover damages for *juries ear

Mr. Huddleeton and Mr. Vaughan Williams appeared foe
the plaintiff, and Mr. Asplasd for the defendants.
The plaintiff is a boy about 61 years old, the iota of • sea
In humble cirennestaetes, and the defendants are Messrs.
Houghton and Ley, who are builders and contractors. About
half-put five on the afternoon of the 16th December feat
the plaintiff was walking with his mother and his grandmother
along New Oraysl-Inns, Ratliff-highway. At thls time seine
trifling repair was being done to the maw in that thorourk-
, fare by the defendants, under a contract which they bad
with the local board of works. The mother and grandmother
saw steam coming from the man-hole, but did not notice at
the flap wee up. They passed beside It, and the mother line
mellately looked round for the child, sad found that be led
fallen down the hole. When he wee brought up spin it wee
found that the back of his head was cut sever*, end he wee
taken to a doctor who dressed it. Afterwsrds absentees
formed on the head and other parts of the plaintiff's body,
and this It was said was in coneequeece of the fall, the wooed
fierier been poisoned by some Amiga matter. He ern
under the doctor's bands for ten weeks, end it wee said that
even now he wee not ma he bad been before the accident.

GREENWICH.

Mr. Leifer', and three other dotards of the United River

Lower Deptford-rood, append to so adjouraed summons
to answer the sowpiatat d Hairy Kesler, ooe of its mem-

th rale.

FrOm the statement mode ft appeared that the society
was formed so far back as the year MIL and le stated to
be the oldest trade end benefit society in ezi,tenos in the
metropolis. Accoeding to the 26th rule, In the of any
member ' with an accident, accepting through fighting

the oompanestka named.
The Modest@ eaM ne proper application had been made
07 the complainant for the mow.
Mr. Wickens, the &elm= of the society, said the cour-
t bed male a claim tbrosgb his father, Henry
Keeler t:relief named. Before paying the money, which the
moiety wee italions and willing to do, it wee thought right
to smoirtan in what manner end where the accident
had occurred to his arm ; but on ths father being asked, the
=ewer was that it was not known. Under those circum-
stances the members, at their last monthly medal. Weed •
resolution that the money should not be paid until • malefic-
tory explanation war given.
Mr. Traill salted for • book of the rides, which was ac-
cordingly banded to hie worship, and on looking et which It
appeaxed the rules were drawn up in 1610, and were approved
of and allowed at the Survey Epiphany Sessions in 1822.
Mr. May said he was prepared to produce the surgeon's
attailleate that the eamplainent had met with • seriatim ac-
cident.

The man-bola had only a single flap, so !that whet; that
wee open there we. no honeycombed covering to protect the
hole. Since the occident thin defect had been remedied. It
was admitted that at the time of the accident one of the
defendants' men was etaiioned at ;the hole, but it was said
that hs gave no 'antic* of the hole being open, end that he
wee standing with hie hack to it talking to somebody.
The defence was, that there had been no =gnomes on
their parts; that their men called out to the mother and
grandmother, "Mind the hole and put him hand on the
grandmothers' shoulder as a farther caution. Immediately
afterwards the plaintiff POO rants( along, and weed be-
hind the sees i.e. sea weal dews the twit. It ins sup-
posed that the plalatUf could set see the hole in consequence
of the quality of Ass coining up at the tints. Another
feet deposed to wee, that there wee a lantern placed beside
the hole, and that the plaintiff hawked it down when
he fell.

tion whatever Ia the case. By the Act 10th of (hog. IV.
and subsequent sots it wee ?swilled that the rule. of the
society should not only baye been oertided by Mr. Tided
Pratt, but enrolled at the mailons. Instead of this, the
rules ware only stated to have been " allowed by the court."
This wee the mode adopted previous to the passing of the sot
he had named, but which was not now sufficient, the society
being entirely of a voluntary character, and in which no
claim could be enforced at law. . .

Upon the question of damages it wee suggested that the
injaries had been exaggerated. When the child was at the
bottom of the hole he called out to the man who wee ap-
proaching," Don't butt me, roaster," and it was said thatithen
and the next day also he appeared to have unfired no
serious hurt. It wee also said that when he fell he was not
in good health, be having •t that time a bandage round his

APPREHENSION OP THE WALWORTH MURDERER.
—The appraiser= of William Abraham Moore, charged on
the coroner's inquisition with the murder of his wife, was
effected on Saturday evening under singular circumstances.
It appears that aday or two beck the murderer, who had dis-
guised himself by shaving off his whiskers and changing his
style of dreee by ramming the garb of a tinker with, leather
apron, left Werminister with two men who travel about the
country with • barrow as grinders and tiokers, in the hoop/
eluding justice, the murderer collecting the jobs fen .m private
houses whilst his comrades did the work. About 7 o'clock on
Saturday evening he wee seen ley • man'itamed Cr roll, who
had some previous knowledge of him, on Notting -hill, sod
Carroll watched him end hr companions for • rat Bur
without exciting their repkir, until they entered • public-
house, when he went to the polioe-station and gave informa-
tion. A policemen was vent with hint and they apprehended
the murderer without any resistance on his part, and about
9 o'clock the rme evening he was lodged in the central
police-sUiticm,Carter. street, Welworib-road, preparatory to
his remissly: this day (Monday) before the magistrates at
Lambeth. He appears in • wretchedly dejected eta.. of mind,
nod states that he hod for some time past contemplated
suicide. When searched at the station a letter was found upon
him containiog statements to the same effect.
PARENTAL NEGLECT.—On Saturday afternoon an
adjourned inquiry was held before Mr. C. J. Carter, coroner
for West Kent, et the Lord Nukes Tavern, Greenwich, on
the body of Mary Ana Braishew, an infra., ten months old,
the daughter of Benjamin Braddiew • plasterer, residing at
10, March-lane, Greenwich. The inquiry wee of en ex-
ly painful character, and created much excitement in
the neighbourhood. Prom the evidence given It appeared
that the mother of the deceased child died • few days
after its birth, Irving six other children, one of whom, a
girl 17 years of age, was in service, the oldest left at hoer
being 11 yeses old. The lather wee shown to be mddioted
to karts of intemperance, so much S 3 that the
children had been left on various ocarions without
food, with instructions to the eldest to all different
articles of furniture to obtain the means of sorrier* for her-
self, the other children, and the deceased leant. Some
ladies had interested themselves oe behalf of the family,
and on Thursday week a medical mesa was called to attend
to the decreed, who presented a frightfully emaciated up-
presses, and expired two hours afterward,. A post-mortem
ermination was made, and, acoording to the medical eel-
dome, the weight of the bo wee not more than fibs. 6 re.,
whilst the ordinary welOt den infest of that age was stated
to to from 13Ibs, to laths. Externally there were no marks
of violence, and thirty food found in de stomach were some
parries resembling the white of an egg. In answer to queue-
tire, the medical man said that the deceaa.d teivg deprived of
its natural sourced easteasnos,and being brought up by had,
would have • tendency to produce direr., and a wasting
away of the body. The Cooney went minutely through the
evidence, pointing out the law of manslaughter; end the
jury, after a lengthened consultatice, returned the following
verdict:—" That the deceased, Mary Ann Bradshaw, died
from memento., and from want of proper food, nouveau:rat,
end attention," one of the jury inquiring whetter they could
not append a suggestion for tee errata' authorities to take
other proceedings sexiest the father. The Coroner rid the
Pariah authorities were already acquainted with the facts, and
it was open for them to proceed if they tbought proper.
The Coroner then celled the ether of the dressed
into the inquest-room, and strongly condemned him fee lils !
want of parental attention, adding that he bad hod a very 1
narrow escape, and which he entirely owed to the too mer-
ciful state of the law of msnelaughtcr, of being sent to take
his trial on • errittall charge. The inquiry then terminated.
