LAMBETH.

Mr. Willies solicitor,of 7, Lineolies-inn-
jhoreshirrri
fields, appeased to answer a summons taken out against him
by Mr. Frank Whitaker Bosh, chancery barrister, of U.
Oldsiquare, Lincoln's-inn-Gelds, charging him with having
used towards him language calculated to lead to a breach of
the peace.
Yr. Bush said that on the morning of Satunlay, the IGth
het., he was coming to town by train on the South Western
Hallway, and at the Barnes station the defendant and a
friend got into the compartment of a firet•class carri-
age neat to that in which he was. The defendant's
friend got in first, and observing the defendant himself put
a short pipe into his mouth before getting into the carriage
he called to him, and said, " Will you have the goodies,
to put that pipe out?" Nothing more occurred at that
time, but when the train had reached the Waterloo station,
and just as he had got out of the carriage, the defendant
came up to him and said,.."Are you the person who spoke to
me at the Haloes station . and he replied, " Yea." The de-
fendant then said, " Why did you, a perfect stranger and a
pence I don't know, speak to me in that way!" Witness
replied, " Because I saw you were smoking, and lathed you to
put your pipe out." The defendant rid, "It's a lie."
Witness said he saw him put the pipe into his mouth, and
saw smoke issue from it. The defendant replied, " It's a
lie, a lie, and you are a infernal liar." The defendant
continued to follow Lim, and said, " I have a great mind
to hit you, to teach you not to speak torn, again," mimed,
use of an expression which he (witness) did not wish to
repeat. He asked him his name, which he refused to give.
In crow-examination by Mr. Giffard,
Mr. Bush mid he was not aware that the train at the
Berea station had passed the platform, but saw that
neither the defendant nor his friend was about to get into
the carriage that he was in when he called on the former to
put out his pipe. Was quite certain he prefaced his request
with the courteous expression, " Will you have the good-
nem," and that the demand was not made in a peremptory
and insulting tone. On the contrary, his tone and mother
were gentlemanlike.
Mr. Gitfard, in his address to the court in reply to com-
plainant, said that the morning in question was a very
frosty one, and his friend and client, Mr. Shirreff, as well
as the gentleman who accompanied him, had smoked
their pipes from their residence to the Harem station,
but discontinued on reaching that place. On reaching the
station the train had slightly shot beyond the platform, so
that Mr. Shirreff and his friends had some slight difficulty in
getting into a first-clus carriage. Having an umbrella in
one hand and his pipe in the other, and requiring the use of
both hands, be at tia moment thought his mouth would be
the rifest place for his pipe ; be planed it there, and while
getting into the carriage heard somebody exclaim, "put
that pipe out," but at the moment thought it came from
some friend, or some person who knew him, and who said it
in joke. Finding, however, that it cams from a stranger,
and showing to the gentlemen who were in the carnage with
him that he was not smoking, on the contrary, that
