This was an minion to recover oonapensatice for personal
injuries received through die alleged negligence of the
defendants' servants.
Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Charles Russell were
counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Giffard, Q.C., and Mr.
Harrison for the defendants.
The plaintiff is a widow and housekeeper to • tradesman
in the Tottenham-court-mad. On the 3rd November,
1866, Ealing nos day, the plaintiff had been to Ealing,
and was returning about 8 o'clock in the evening. She
went to the Bishop's-road station of the Metropolitan
Railway, to return to Gower-street. The platform was
at the time very much crowded, and when the Hammer-
smith train came up for the City, there was a rush for the
carriages. Plainfiff was unable to get into a seoond.olaes
carnage, and went to a third-class, and according to
her statement took hold of the handle to get in, and
had one foot on the step, when the carriage moved sud-
denly on, and she was thrown down. She had a recol-
lection that she was rolled over and over, and when she
recovered she found she was being roweled by a gentle-
man. Her head and face were cut an bleeding, and her
right arm was broken. She was taken home, and after-
wards removed to University HospitaL She was confined'
four or five weeks to her bed. She had bean attended by
two medical men, and she had now only recovered the
partial use of her arm. Her eyesight was also affected by
the accident. She positively denied that the carriage was
in motion when she attempted to enter it, or that she
was cautioned by the porters.
The defence we. that the plaintiff had contacted by
her own negligence to the accident, by changing her car-
nage, and that it was • first-class and not a third-class
carriage into which she attempted to get. All the °Airdrie-
doors were closed before, the signal to start was given, and
the plaintiff had not got her foot on the carriage when the
train was put in motion. After the accident she told one
of the oNoers it was her own fault.
The evidence was very conflicting.
The jury ultimately returned a verdict for the plain-
tiff—Damages, 500/. and intimated there should be •
larger staff of °filen& kept, and longer time given for
getting in and out of the trains.

THE POLICY; COURT&
GUILDHALL.
Mr. James Newman, one of the Inspectors of Meat for
Nesrgate Market, applied to Alderman Hale to condemn
some meat which he had seized in Hawse* Market, which
had been sent to market for sale, and which wax unfit for k
human food. el
The worthy Alderman having examined the meat, el
Mr. Newman stated that that morning his attention was as.
called to four quarters of a cow in the slap of Mr. Wyatt, EL
in Newest* Market. The meat was very poor, inflamed, eL
m•
and unfit for human food. At the shop of Mr. Cockerell
he saw the carcase of a sheep which had suffered from rot. et
AU the lean of the meat had gone from it, and he thought al
it was nearly dead from disease when it was killed. et.
Alderman Hale said it was the worst he had ever then. el,
Mr. Newman said he also went to the shop of Messrs.
Dean and Hatton, and saw a sheep in the same condition, ri'•
and unfit for human food. He therefore asked for an
order to condemn the whole of the meat.
Alderman Hale condemned the meat as unfit for human is
food, and observed that he never saw a sheep in a worse la
a.
condition.
In the course of the day four quarters of another cow el
which had been sent to Leadenhall Market for sale, were el
seized, brought to the court, and condemned as being unfit et.
for human food. She had been at the point of death while *
calving, end the inflamed parts had been cut away from it. aIL
Alderman Hale hoped the circumstance* would be at
81.
rerto the Commissions* of Sewers.
'SI Baylis said it would be reported to them, and nodoubt
mthey would follow their natal custom and order prosecutions.
Ids
Penn, who wasdescribed on the charge sheet as a ill
servant without any fixed abode was placed at the bar on St
remand before Sir F. G. Moon Aar with attempting to e
el
g•
cut the complainant in the fare wi • knife.
It appeared that on Friday evening, the 31st of Jarnary, lot
the prisoner met Miss Blanche Mason in the Farringdon- at
road, and flourishing • formidable-looking knife before her el
face, threatened to out her head off. She was so cloth to 10
the complainant that the back of the knife rubbed down bt,.
her face, without however doing her any injury. When
she was taken into custody she told the officer that some- _
body had robbed her of her mind, and that she would have '
somebody's bead off for it. The prisoner was remanded to -
Newgate in order to ascertain the state of her mind, and
the officer produced a certificate from Mr. Gibson,
the surgeon to the gaol, stating that she was insane.
Sir F. G. Moon ordered her to be taken to the West
London Union with Mr. Gibson's **Haste.

Nary William, a cook in the service of the Hon. Kn.
J. Yards Buller, 23, Obsidare-place, was finally examined
before Mr. Ingham, under the following circumstances.
Margaret Hayes, a charwoman employed by the servants
at the house without the knowledge of the mistress, was
twice detected leaving with broken victuals, and some
curried meat and was found in possession of two or three
plates and a basin. She stated that the victuals had been
given her by the cook, but that she intended to return
the plates in which the food was brought away. She
added that she had taken larger quantities away on other
occasions, and on this information the prisoner was given
into cuatiody, and remanded from Monday for the attend-
ance of the lion. Mrs. Buller. The defence set up by the
accused was that the broken meat was stook and curried
meat which none of the servants would eat, and that the
moused considered that under those circanestances she
was doing no wrong in giving it away.
The Hon. Mrs. Buller said that prisoner was a mere
temporary servant, at 11. per week. At the time she was
hired, in October last, nothing was said about permission
to dispose of any food. She bad had occasion to complain
to prisoner two or three times of the increased and extra-
vagant consumption of food, but it went on still higher.
In answer to an inquiry from Mr. Ingham the lady
replied that nothing was ever said to the prisoner about
refuse food or perquisites.
Margaret Hayes was recalled, and said that she had the
broken meat, hash, he., which she regularly took home,
as her only compensation for going to the house of a morn-
ing to help the servants. She had been employed 14
weeks, and took something away every morning. She
returned plates and basins.
Mr. Ingham said he had been desirous of knowing from
the mistress herself whether • distinct caution had ever
been given the prisoner not to dispose of refuse food. It
was difficult to convict unless distinct prohibition was
shown. Cooks considered they had a great latitude unless
there was a distinct prohibition. He had sent persons for
trial under circumstances like the present, and the result
had always been acquittal. He recommended that the case
should be withdrawn.
r This was immediately done, the lady's solicitor express-
ing a hope that the magistrate did not consider there had
been any impropriety in bringing the matter forward.
1 Mr. Ingham said there was not the least. Prisoner had
no right to take the things. She bad no pretence for
„) giving the food away, and the matter was a very proper
one for thorough investigation.

Tan LIABILITY or el.oBB.—A judgment in.
volving the question of the liability of clubs was delivered
in the Bloomsbury County Court yesterday. The action
wee brought by the plaintiff, who is a clerk in the London
and County Bank, and was the proprietor of a club called I
the University Billiard Club, situate at 163, Tottenham-
court.road, for the sum of 22f. 6s. 7d. for money lent on
1.0.17., wine, spirits, cigars, See, supplied to the defendant,
a member of the club. His honour (Mr. G. L Russell)
observed that the defence was, first, that the plaintiff was
not the proper party to sue, but that the debt, if any, was
due to the club. That was not so. The rules of the club
did not contemplate that any member should have refresh.
wants, and they were beyond doubt supplied as private
arrangement between plaintiff and each member. It was
objected that the plaintiff could not recover because he
had no license. As to tobacco and cigars it appeared he
had, and there was an end of that objection, but as re-
garded the claim for refreshments, including spirits, wine,
and beer, it appeared that the plaintiff had neither a magis-
trate's nor an excise nooses. He was clearly of opinion
that the plaintiff wee not a keeper of a house of refreshment
within the 23rd Vio., cap. 27, nor of " an inn, ale house, or
victualling house," within the 9th George IV., cap. 61,
and he bad no doubt that under the "Tippling Act," 24th j.
George 11., cap. 40, see. 12, the plaintiff could not recover
for the spirits he had supplied. Having regard to the 9th el
George IV., cap. 61, era 18 he thought the plaintiff could
not recover for the wine or beer. The mass of a linesman ,
of a regiment and of some clubs had been referred to ; but
even if the meesman or steward could, by law, enforce •
claim for spirits, or wine, or beer supplied by him to the 3
regiment or the club, the cases were not analogous. The
verdict in the case was for the whole amount of the Si. for I
the I 0 U, and the 12.:. 10s. 6d. for cigars and tobacco,
but for part only of the 61. 16a. Id. for refreshments. On tai
the 19th March, 1866, the plaintiff Wei paid 2/. on account. /
From the balance all the items for spirits, wine, and beer
mad be deducted, and the sum left would be added to the 11
amount of the I 0 U, and the cigars and tobsooo as the N
total amount to be paid by defendant to plaintiff. 1,0(
BABY FAILYINO.—Last evening an inquiry was
