Thomas Hammen; and Eiger Pebble, the propnetom of cer-
tain slaughter-homes in Beargate-market, were summoued
before Alderman Homphery foe unlawfully slaughtering
cattle, contrary to the 9th rule of the regulations laid down
by the COISIMigIiODOIS of Sewers for the City of London.
Mr. Bodkin, instructed by Mr. Tyrrell, solicitor to the
Comanterkssers of Sewers, appeared toe the prosecution ; and
Mr. Sleigh for the defence.
The case of Mr. Nichlinson was taken dent.
Mr. Bodkin stated that, under en act of parliament pasted

regulate the slanghter-hottece in the City, and by anwbor
act, paned in 1851, cation sections of the former act were
repealed, and power given to the commissioners to make bye-
laws for the better regulation of suck places; and, amcng
other rules made in accordance with that statute, was one
probibitiog the scores of made to a pound or slaughter-
hones through an inhabited house. It wee upon this point
that all the present summoners were token out ; and if the
magistrate was of opinion there had been an Infraction of the
9th rate, the 18th section of the act empowered hint to inflict
a penalty of 51. foe every day such offence continued.
'The evidence of the inspector of the market went to show
that Me. Ivlchlinson's slaughter-boom and shop formed one
long apartment of considerable depth, bat open to the street.
The slaughter-house was et the back and ventilated by •
'skylight. The entrance to the dwelling-house shove was by
a separate passage. with a door opening into the, ,at rod
another into the shop.
Dr. Letbeby said the effect of having cattle taken through
the house to be slaughtered was calculated to be very pres.
he Mal to alth.

Isepector Fisher said the slaughter-hoar had been is
'aides. in Its present state for many yam. The only
entranoo for cattle was through the shop.
Mr. Sleigh contended that the shop and eleughter-house
beicK distinct from the upper pert of the house it ccul I not

Aldermen Hump Staid be was of opinion that the
house In question so divided from the shop and
alsoribter-hoop, It not be amid that the cattle were
driven through en inhabited home.
Mr. need& odd-12MM ass then, to prove an awe
under this set, It would be to show that the cattle
were ushered ego Mobs and driven h the first door.
Alderman Htunphery said be thought the role applied
to privets houses where the MUM bad bean need as slaughter-
homes. Mall errata the commiadonen, according to the
printed hem of Haw% could revoke it et any moment.
Mr. Heald& said the tesposelbllity of withdrawing s home
rested with the mivitir, who had power to do so upon •
second conviction of any mender under that wt.
Aldermen Humplmeyeidd the power ought to rest with the
oommlasiamme, and they had better go to parliament for a
new act te give them that power.
The sunanxisare were then dismissed.

SHOCKING OCCUREENCE IN SHE HAN PATLAD-
ROAD.—IAst night, shortly after 8 o'clock, a most painful
occurrence took place in the Hampstead-road, a short dis-
tance from the New-road. Mr. John Thomas Burrows, the
extensive hatter and clothier, whom premises occupy
Noe. 14, 15, and 19, Adam's-row, Hempstead-road, facing
the reservoir, had been out in company with Mr. Thentas

bad called upon him to have • glass together at the Bois
A..pat the corner of Charles-West, where it was observed
that both appeared a little the worm for liquor, Flews
. After talking • few minutes at the bar they
alstesret to be getting out of temper with each other, and
the hones quarrelling. It appears that they con-
tinued quarrelling, and Piers followed Burrows into
his shop. In • few minutes their altercation be-
came very violent, and Pleat, who is a tall and
powerful man, being incensed at some observation Borrows
made to him, struck him. Barrows fall forward, and hie
forehead coming in contact with the handle of an old-
fashioned chest of drawers, he laid on the ground unable to
rim. One of his shopmen rushed to his aselatence, and on
finding him ineeneib4 exclaimed to Deere, "Yea have
killed Mr. Burrows." Plow. is represented to have replied,
"A d—d good job, too," and then walked oat of the shop.
Filing their employer still remained insensible, an alarm
wee raised, and Mr. Home, Barrows's finding
what had happened, sent for medical aid. Mr. Julius Col-
eurgeou, of Momingtou-place, and Mr. Harris, of
Gower-street, promptly attended, and both gentlemen pro-
' noanced life quite extinct. There was a wound on the fore-
head, where the deceased's head struck against the handle of
the drawers, sad it is the opinion of the readied men that
the shock caused some Informal weed of the head to be rup-
tured, causing infest Walton of bleed on the brain. Mal-

be a matter for consideration whether the board will not hew
