At the Royal Infirmary, on view of the body of George
North, of 63, Bradford-road, porter, aged 42, who has
left a widow and six children to lament his untimely loss.
Walter Henry Holt stated that he was in the employ of the
Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, as was also the
deceased. About half-past 12 o'clock on Monday afternoon
they were drawing two waggons, an empty one and a full
one on the branch lines at the warehouses of the Oldliqn-•
wzGlie3s urove the horse, which was fastened
to the front. The deceased coupled the waggons, and then
when the first waggon was drawn on the train-table it went
against a scotch, went back, and was going off the train-
table, when the daceased tried to get between the two wag-
gons to put the break on. He was caught between the
buffers and the two waggons, knocked down, and severely
crushed by the waggons. He was removed to the Royal In-
firmary, where he died the same afternoon: It was stated
that the deceased, who had been only two or three months in
the situation he held at the time of his death, was quite
sober at the time of the accident. Verdict "Accidental
Death."

At the house of Richard Perking, Union Farm, Long
Millgate, on view of the body of Elizabeth Birchnall, wife of
John Birchnall, spinner, Deansgate. James Hardman, of
Newgate, Longmill-gate, small-ware weaver, stated that his
wife was deceased's daughter, and that the deceased had
lived with them a fortnight. She could do nothing for her-
self, and had a small sum of money allowed her by the
parochial authorities. Between five and six o'clock on Sa-
turday evening, witness had gone to the coal-hole to open a
door, and on returning, and when about to sit down, he
found the deceased had fainted. She previously seemed as
well as usual, but had been subject to attacks of diarrhore
all the week. On finding her in the condition in which
she was, he sent for Mr. Franklin, surgeon, but before his
arrived she was a corpse. Mr. Franklin was called, and
he stated that he had made a post mortent examination of
the body, and found that death had been caused by ossifica-
tion of the valves of the heart.

body of Ann Davis, wife of William Davis, sixty-one years

appeared that the plaintiff, with others, was employed by
the defendant to discharge an American vessel, in the
Brunswick Dock. They were to be paid 3s, 6d. a dayybut
about 10 o'clock in the forenoon they struck for an advance
of 6d. After some deliberation, the defendant acceded to
the demand, bat the men did not return to their work until
1 o'clock, PA. did not accordingly work nut the full day.
told the plaintiff that when a man once began
work he had no right to strike in the middle of the day.
If be wanted to make a new bargain, he should make it
dater in the evening or before commencing work; but,
having, once commenc,d it, he had no right to strike in
the middle of the day. He should -allow him for three-
quarters of a_day, the time for which he had worked%

BAwxs v. MOORS.—The plaintiff is a public liaise agent,
and the defendant a publican ; and the present action was
brought to recover £7 ss. conntission'on £l9O, amount of
purchase money paid by tho defendant for the good will of
ti public house, the plaintiff being the agent in the transac-
tion. Mr. "Wheeitz was for the plaintiff. The defendant
did not appear, and the claim was allowed.
APDON.A.Ln v. ENGLAND.--The defendant is the Rev.
'England, and the 'plaintifri who was a servant in his

*employment, sought to 7recoter' three weeks' wages from
him, to be calculatp-,1
that the plaint at the rate of £7 a-year. It appeared
entered the Rev. 'gentleman's service on the
27th July, and that she left the house on the evening of the
19th, of Aug., under the pretence that she was going to visit a
'''.,ctor. She did not return on that night, and, when spoken
to by the Rev. Mr. Eng'and, she spi slily gave evidence that,
however weak in physical strength she might be, her
tongue was as well hung, and as sharp, as rumour, though
perhaps falsely, says all womens' tongues are. The defen-
dant said that he would not have defended the present
action were it not that an impression had gone abroad among
servants, that he would rather pay whatever might be de-
manded of him, than appear in court. His Honor hoped
that the Rev. gentleman was mistaken in that idea, and ob-
served, that he did not know why a clergyman should not
defend an action as well as anybody else. It appearing, by
the evidence, that the plaintiff's conduct, while in the em-
ployment, was not what it should be, his honour said that
he would allow her Bs. for the three weeks, but her conduct
he conceived, did not entitle her to the costs. As to'the de-
fendant, he thought there was no discredit on his part in

defending the action

TRADE- COMBINATIONS

Picx.tirr v. I'.

knsox.— The
plaintiff is a moulder, and the defendant is Mr. Thomas
Pearson, Blackstone-street, iron founder ; and the action
was brought to recover 125., amount of wages due, as alleged
by the plaintiff, to him. It appeared that the plaintiff was
hi the employment of the defendant, and that he and his
brother workmen left their work one day, and for no other
reason than because Mr. Pearson had employed a man who
had worked in an obnoxious shop in London. On this fact
being made clear, his Honor severely commented on such
conduct, observing that the plaintiff and his fellows had
clearly exposed th(
and that th(

Ives to a prosecution for conspirac
right to object to work with any ma

because he chose to exercise the right which bClonged
to all—to obtain the best market for his labour.
Neither the plaintiff, nor any society of men, had

a right to ;ay to 'any employer that- they would not
work with any man of decent character' who offered him his
services, simply, because he had disobeyed the rule they
were pleased to lay down for his guidance.—The plaintiff

here observed that,'after some time-, the men returned, but
that one foreman would not employ them.—His Honour
Your business then was to have gone to your ma
eav, " I am ready to work for you, and I am willin

to givc

another man the right I for myself to obtain -em-
ployment when, and in the best terms, I can." —Mr. Wigory,
who appeared for the defendant, said that he defended this
action on principle, and that the only reason the plaintiff
and his companions would not work with the obnoxious
man, was, because he was not one of their body.—His
Honour : They have no right to dictate to any man what
shop he is to be employed in. It is monstrous to suppose
that such dictation would be allowed, and, allowed, the
men themselves, in the long run, would suffer most by it.
They claim a right to obtain their support through their
labour, and yet they themselves are those who venture to
interfere with that right. In conclusion, his Honour said,
that there could not possibly be a clearer case than that the
defendant would have paid the plaintiff, had the latter ful-
filled his obligations towards him. He would, therefore, dis-
miss the case ; and he cautioned the plaintiff, who is a
young man, against being led away by such folly again.
MISCONDUCT OF A WORKMAN DISENTITLINO HIM TO HIS
WAGES—WILKINSON V. JONES.—The plaintiff is a journey-
man joiner, and it appeared that while engaged in a job at
Frisby, Dyke, and Co's., to which he was sent by the de:-
fendant, he stole a hat, and was tried and imprisoned, three
months for the offence. He now sought to receive 10s. sd.
for 2g days due to him at the time of the commission
of the theft.—Mr. Williams appeared for the defendant, and
contended that the plaintiff, by his misconduct towards his
employer, disentitled himself to any wages due to him.--
His Honour concurred in this view; but it appeared that the
defendant always retained in his hands one day's wages of
his workmen. The Court allowed the plaintiff one day's
wages (4s. 4d.) with the costs out of pocket.

EXHIBITION OF THE LIVERPOOL

ICADEIIIY.

FIFTII NOTICI

56. " The Aerial Combat," by W. Huggins„ represents a
female sitting " by the sad sea wave," gazing on a struggle
between an eagle and a serpent. We regret that the more
interesting part of the picture is represented at so great a
distance, for an eagle and serpent painted by Huggins
would be sure to be well treated. The water is magnificently
painted.
53. A "Study from Nature."—A. Frazer. Modest,
truthful, and careful in execution, by an artist who has been
long remarkable for his pictures of domestic life.
I (54. "Beach at. Eastham."—B. Callon. A very clever
little picture of the shore of what is called our Liverpool
Richmond. This artist has vastly improved since last year,
and his pictures are always careful transcripts of nature.
65. "A Rustic Artist."—W. Hemsley. One of the gems
of the British school, and equal to Wilkie or Webster. A
group of children are surrounding a determined student of
the fine arts, who is deeply engaged in sketching a terrier
dog, which is elevated on a chair for the occasion. The
accessories are neatly and carefully finished.
68. " Bit of Moorland."—J. N. Oakes. A sweet bit of
colour, by the worthy secretary of the academy. We wish
there were more hate gems by the bailie

69. " The Ruby Ring." 'W. Douglas. A most admi-
rably painted picture, but which unfortunately expresses
nothing A chevalier, standing in a very ungraceful atti-
tude, and a dowdy and very ugly female at a window.
Douglas is capable of better things than such perpetrations
as the " Ruby Ring."
73. " The Introduction of Halbert Glendenning to Sir
Piercie Shafton" (from The Monastery). A. Egg, A.R.A.
One of the principal pictures in the Exhibition, and an
admirable illustration of the story. The impertinent self-
sufficiency of Sir Piercy, as the young Halbert is introduced,
Equally well, too, is the astonishment of the
girl seated opposite to him, whose eyes are • wide
open with astonishment at his impudence. The stately
dignity with which Halbert regards the . foppish nobleman
is capital, and the whole picture is full of life and incident.
74. " Murder of Duncan" (from Macbeth). H. C.
Selons. Decidedly a well drawn picture, but no illustra-
tion of the scene so powerfully described by the poet.
There is a want of harmony in the picture, and the various
pieces of like samples of damask
shop. The curtain at the back puts
in mind of the mahogany curtain-poles at

83. " The Siesta," *. ifuggin;. One of the gems of the
Exhibition. The monarch of the poultry yard, surrounded
by his harem, is majestically poised on one leg, and with
half-closed eyes,. is taking his :siesta. The colour of the
plumage is brilliant, and there is a delicacy of handling
about the whole of the birds, indicative of great taste anc
