TELUIRS.
- •

Thomas Denton, costennonger, was brought before Mr.
Paget, charged with violently assaulting George Franklin,
• police-conetable, 16 H, in the execution of his duty.
The oomplainant dated that at half-past 8 the previous
evening he was on duty at the Whitechspel end of the COM-
mercial-road, and saw the prisoner, who was intoxicated,
making • disturbance in front of the Boundary Tavern, at
the corner of Back Church-lane. The prisoner wanted to
go into the house, but thelandlord refused himadmittance.
The prisoner swore suidravedlondly, and he (the constable)
endeavoured to pacify him and told him to go home, but
he refused to do so made use of very foul language, gave
him two kicks on the shin, and laid down on the ground.
He endeavoured to raise him, but he still kicked and
struggled violently, and tore the akin off his hands. A
tradesman passing rendered valuable assistance, and the
prisoner was secured.
Mr. John Hunt said that he saw the officer straggling on
the ground with the prisoner, who was guilty of extreme
violence, and said if he had an opportunity be would kick
the policeman. The prisoner called upon the bystanders
to rescue him, but no one responded to the call, and the
tradesman came forward with great alacrity to assist the
constable.
The prisoner said he was drunk, and did not know what
he was about.
Mr. Paget was determined to protect the police. The
assault was a most atrocious one. He sentenced the pri-
soner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour.
GREENWICH.
Miss Fanny Hademood was summoned to answer the
complaint of William Richard Lewes, for refusing to pay
to him a sum of 21.2 a, being the amount of • week's
salary as stage carpenter at the Greenwich Theatre.
Mr. Pock, solicitor, of Lawrence Pountney-hill, City,
appeared in support of the summons ; and as the defendant
did not appear, the case was heard in her absence. The
defendant, he said, was up to the night of the 3rd instant,
manager of the Greenwich Theatre, arid during the last
four nights of her management the sum of 213/. 3s. 6d. bad
been taken at the doors and paid over to her ; and not-
withstanding this money had been paid over to her, she
bad refuted to pay the salaries of the company, and also
the numerous persons employed about the theatre. The
consequence of this was very serious to those employed,
many of whom had families to support ; but to prevent
their losing their employment, Mr. Mowbray, the lessee,
had come forward and continued the performances.
Evidence was then given by the complainant that the
defendant bad engaged him at the salary stated, and had
paid him the same for several weeks.
Mr. Maude said he was prepared to make an order for
the amount claimed, with 15a. coat&

Yr. Flynn, who reads. in Ireland, had from thee to time
previous to the 18th April, 1866, sent poultry to the
defendant, Mr. Ruthven, a dealer residing in Liverpool.

ford County Court, on Tuesday, an action was brought by
Thomas Ball, collier, of Drighliaigton, against Edward
Bray and Win. Henry Frankland, two members of the
Drighlington.Coal Company, to recover 501. as coompensfr
tion for injuries be bad received in May, 1866, in one of
the defendant's pits. Mr. Dawson wee for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Terry defended. It appeared that the plaintiff,
at the time of the accident, wee working on the night
shift ; a portion of the roof fell upon him, and be was so
much injured that he wee laid up for some time, and wee
afraid that he should not be able to follow his employment
so efficiently as he had heretofore done. The accident wee
attributed to the improper removal of a number of pun-
cheons by the bottom steward, of which the plaintiff
alleged that he complained. After evidenos had been given
in support of the plaintiff's case, Mr. Terry contended
that the accident had arisen through the neglect of
the plaintiff himself, in not putting an additional prop
under that portion of the red which fell in, sad as he bad
neglected to *se his own puncheons, which he had ad-
mitted in erase-examination he ought to have done, the
accident souk' only be looked upon as having been one of
the radinsry risks of soil Mr. Terry also main-
tained, supposing the aseitimut bad happened as the plain-
tiff represented, that the deleaduite were not to be held
He then prodneed evidence in support of the
=l.oliblLin he took, and Yr. Dunne having replied, the
judge thought it was a ewe for amicable settlement ; but
Nlx.-Terry wasaidering a pelasiple was involved, the judge
maid that the iridium bad net aserrineed him either that
the Resident had been eased by the neglect of a fellow-
workman, or that it bad bees one of the ordinary risks et
coal-getting. He thought the plaintiff entitled to a ver-
dict, bat suggested that the tam should be agreed wpm.
After a oonsultation between the advematom, Kr. Darns=
said they had agreed that a virdiel missield be entered toe
201., on the undentending that time should be no appeal,
and that litigation should sere.
