that they were police officers and they required to know
where be got it from. He then pointed to the other pri-

WANDSWORTH.
THE DUTY OP RAILWAY SMOKERS.
Mr. Charles Major, a young gentleman residing in
3Lawbey-street, South Lambeth, was summoned for
emokinsi tobacco in a second-chum carriage, while travelling
on the south Western Railway.
The defendant having pleaded guilty, a passenger named
Rome was called to give a short account of the facia. He
stated that on the 2nd inst. the defendant, who was accom-
panied by another young gentleman, got into the car-
nage atWandswortli, anal smoked all the way to Vaux-
hall He must have seen that his smoking was an
annoyance to witness, who put down one window and the
defendant at once shut up the other. On getting out at
Vauxhall witness called the attention of the station-
toesterto the smoking, when the defendant became very
abusive. During the journey witness did not speak to
ha, neither did the defendant ask his permission to smoke.
The defendant, in his explanation, denied being abusive
to the witness. He said that if the witness had ex-
premed any objection to his smoking be should have put
out his pipe.
Witness—On the other hand, you did not ask me
whether it was objectionable.
The defendant—l had the sanction of two ladies in the
care*. I certainly did not ask this individual (the wit-
ness) for his consent. There would not have been any
complaint if he had been left to occupy one side of the
cameo.
The witness—That made no difference to me as I was
only peg a short distance by the carriage.
Mr. Dayman (to the defendant)-8611, smoking in a
railway carriage is not a proper thing ; it is contrary to law,
and you should assume that smoking is offensive to all
person. If you break the law the least you can do is to
ip-uk to your fellow passengers. It is not fair to throw
the shorn on thou to make a complaint. It is your begi-
nnero ascertain in the first instauice that the smoking is
not dimgreeable to the parties who are with you. The
case u very clearly proved against you, and you must pay
a kneel Ws. and 2s. costs.
The money was immediately paid.

The Mayor presided.
TIE EICDDERSFIELD TENANT-RIGHT CARE.—The
nem of the decision of the House of Lords in the case
Tasniton and Ramaden," was posted in Huddersfield
*slimlbleny after half-past 4 yesterday afternoon. A consider-
amber of persons were eagerly waiting for the intelli-
genccihnt there w.e; a great amount of depression exhibited
when it was seen that the telegram was, "The decree of
the rice-Chancellor is reversed. Bill to be dismissed
°dont costs. Only Lord Kingsdown on the side of the
tetunt-right owners.'" This decision is not what the tenant.
Tight owners have been led to expect, and as it is a judg-
ment in favour of Sir J. W. Ramsden, many of those who
havtaot taken the 99 years' lease offered sometime ago,
'MI the impression that they could get better terms, are
novls a deaponilent state.—Manchester Examiner.
