LAW INTTRIZIORATE.
COURT QF KING'S BENCH, Tozenai, JULY 5.

HALL V. wattailLO,
his was an action to recover damages for so Injury sustained
by the plailtilf 'ft child, in consequence of its having been hurt by
being run over by the defendant'a horse and gig, whilst the de-
fendant himself 'was driving it in King-street, Soho • and the
declaration also alleged a damage in consequence of a loss of the
services of the child.
The evidence of several witnesses, examined for the plaintiff,
.went to show 'haulm occurrence by which the child was injured
was purely accidental ; namely, that the defendant was driving
very quietly, but seeing some fowls and chickens in the way, he
turned the gig in order to avoid hurting them; whembo Oncon-
*cleanly, drove the gig over the plaintiff% child, by which It was
seriously injured, and afterwards conveyed to, the Middlesex Bee-
pits!, yen whence it was removed after remaininesorne bate by
the plaintiff, and taken home, and afterwards was for a length of
time an out patient of the hospital. ; The plaintiff, it wad proved,
pas a poor labouring man, with a wife and three children, all living
it one room ; audit was proved, that the plaintif himself, sod
sometimes his wife, were hindered day by day, in rakish the child'
to and bi Inging it back from the hospital.
Evidence was also offered of the special damage which tho
plaintife• tad sustained in bring obliged to absent himself from
his business, and attend the child several hours each day while It
was in the hospital.
111 r. Sean LET T Ob;CCICEI to any evidence being received as to the
lots of time of the parent. in conveying this child to and from the
hospital, because the child might have remained at the hospital,.
and hare been taken much better care of tiled these poor people
could possibly have taken of it.
Mr. Gunn Er—My Lord, will youralaortieltip say that no allow"
ante is to be made in this cane fur ',dreamt' feeling.--Ate not the
natural feelings of emothet for a child to be consulted ? Is it to
be said in this case, however low in circutnetehices a mother maybe,
that she is to be deprived of the domestic cotnloet of. hiving her
own chill under her own caro-s-but drat she must be compelled to
send it to an hospital ?
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—I 'certainly ef)v. nbt say that;
although 1 am of opinion that it'. massy very wealthy people, when
they sect with accidents, were Sent to an hospital, where they
i would be subject to the discipline and regimen of that beepital,
they would recover much sooner than by being taken to their awn
homes. and attended by their own stirgean.
Mr. SCARLETT dell objected to the evidence, and
3lr. Go os EY very strongly contended, dint it should bc re-
: eeived. Aar:: '
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE thin staid, 31r. Guniey,•eoefilbtsmo

all round the Court, as if for information, and' the: exclaimed,

The LOIID Catty' JUSTICE—WiIy, he said he would be

The Court was here convulsed win' Laughter. ;
The plaintiff's ease lxingaloited,
Mr. SCARLET?, for the defendant, submitted that, upon all
evidence nos• produced, this action was not maintainable. The
very gist of it was the loin of this child's services. Now what
could be said of the service of a e:ithl of the age of two years and
a half? In ail eifoow of this ki.tel, where a father brought his
action to recover damage' for the seduction of his daughter, per
lewd rrrritinia ejss 'marl', there was a capability of perforoung
theae services; but here the:very notion was ridiculous.
11.1 r. GURNEY and Mr. LAWE9 said a few words in reply.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE-1 am 'clearly of opinion that
this action is not maintainable. It is founded on the loss of
service. 'ln no case with which lam acquainted has it been held
that thie setiaa can be maintained, . unless such services could be
supposed capable of being actually rendered. From the tender age
of this child, no stretch of inneeinatiot can presume the possibility
of such =wives. ant bound therefore to say, that, in point of
law, Winn can in this cue be maintained ; and must therefore
direct . to plaintiff to be called.

servant was riding tiscraare towards London, coming Irani the
Walworth-road. 'Cho defendant vas driving from Blackfriars to.
Tamingham, in Kent, and both crossing at right angles ; in con-
' sequerce of the plaintiff's servant not driving quite quick enough,
the'shaft of the Can ran against the hind leg of the mare morti-
Reation and death ensued. The plaintiff's witnesses imputed the
accident to the negligent driving of the defendant,, whil.t the de-
fondant's entirely contrahicted them, saying the plaintiff's servant

POLICE. •
MANSION HOUSE. .
Mr. Rodriguez, a Portuguese merchant, charged his tons with
having acted in such a manner as very few sons are in the habit of
acing.
Mr. Rodriguez stated, that his eons, who are very young, re-
ceived the very best education and the very highest indelgence.
They were born ip St. Thomas's, and had teniperi of the most.
violem kind. Since their arrival in this country, where they be-
came acquainted with the resistance which they might make to a
parent's authority, they had rebelled against their father, and all
expostulation or intreaty hail no effest... They swore iii the most
desperate manner, that they would put an- end to him by Folsom
if not with the knife, and they took delight in oppeaing him in
every thing and in abusing him, and charging him with the most
unpardonable offences. .lie declared to the Lord Mayor. that he
considered that he was not safe a moment in their company, par-
ticularly as one of them bad armored him, that he would take him
off with a dose of laudanum. IRs heart was broken by their tun.
duct, and be could not prevail upon himself to punish them, as'
they were his own flesh and blood. He was anxious to place in
the hands of the Lord Mayor a sum of money to any amount for
their support, if' his Lordship would dispose of them in such
a manrfer as to prevent them from pursuing him with such deadly
vengeance. . .
One of the boys--I awn* you, my Lord, that my father is One
Of the greatest ruffians in esistence ; he ieconstantly at work upon
us with thelash of his whip, and gives us such horrible food as we
cannot use; we are denied all recreation by him, and, in fact, our
lives are as miserable as if he were our regular task-master, with.
out having any natural 'tie of affectisit.
Mr. Rildrigetez in teate, called upon 4 fttend who had witnessed
his conduct to his eons; to bear testimony to the falsehood of *the
charge. . • .
This gentleman said,. that the father had always shown the
greatest tenderness for his childre, as. indeed, might by collected
trom•their education. appearanek and dress.
'The boys boldly dented thii account. Their father was, they
ward. unworthy to be called a father. Ile was in the habit of,
.curaing and kicking, and threatening to tatirdeilliem, and they
were determined not to bear such horrible treatment any longer.
They then addressed their father in the bitterest strain of' invec-
tive, called him an impostor and a villain, and told him they never
again wool! lie under the name root with him.
The Loan 31.scon asked whether there was any way of ac.
counting for this ext conchict of the two boys. He was
told there was none; that; e. abherrence of their father arose
without any ascertainable am*. "
The LORD Matron said%be- Isews•lieird of so singular a cir-
cumstance altogether, as that wirleirhird ken described.
The boys said their conduct was dictated by their natural
hatred of persecution.' There was no feelieg of affection toward
them, and they of course dropped all thought of affection in the
quarter particularly alluded to. In their .occasional remarks to
the Lord Mayor, they represented their father as a person who
took particular delight in acing cruelly towards them, and very
eloquently painted their condition, as they called it.
After some conversadon with Mr. Rodriguez, the Lord Mayor
advised him to get rid of his two sons as soon as he possibly
could. His Lordship recollected that they had been brought be-
fore him on a-Ginner occasion, when they appeared to be incorrigi-
ble, and he thought that the best way of seticg towards them,
would be to use the lash of the whip, of which they had spoken,
a ith a stsong and resolute hand.,
Mr. Rodrigues said he knew that if he treated them with se-
verity his life would be in imminent danger. lie begzed the Lord
Mayor would name a sum of money as a security for his tare of his
children, and order them to some employment.
It was finally arranged, that one of them should be bound ap.
Prentice to such busic.e.s as he might fancy, and that the other
should he sent to his mother, at St. Thoma..'s.
1 The boys agreed to this plan, hut said 'their tither was so capri-
cious a man, thatke would change his mind the moment after he left
the Manion Houle, and that be actually did nut deserve the name
of is human being. The Scene astonished every person who heard
its extraordinary details.

Cat:Et. r n 07e st et :1 Es -11,1 ...a Do r.—Roteq Castro, a very
young boy, was charged Isy•Ms. Richard Taylor, of 3laida Vale,
racklington, his master, with acts of the most wanton cruelty
towards his poultry, and, iirdeed, every species of dumb creature
that came within his reach.

Mr. Taylor said the boy had for some time past been in his em-
ploy, and during that period the poultry-at various dines appeared
ilk anti on his examining them he found severat.very seriously in-
jored, as if their wings had been pulled or twisted, and their legs
tortured. This kind of thing appearing to increase, and numbers of
the broods of pouhry having almost every day died, on being ex-
amined the legs and ribanvere feuml broken. On his mentioning
the circumstance all the servants declared they could not *mum
for it, and he ( Mr.. Taylor) determined on watching to discover the
author of such an unfeeling act of cruelty. On Sunday morning
last he was sitting behind the curtain e a back parlour which over.
looks the garden of his house when he perceived the defendant in
an out-house, from which tie henni a strange kind of noise ; he in.
stantly ran out, anal detected hint, in the very act of beating a very
valuable game cock, which died a few minutes after being rescued.
Mr. Taylor said cats and dngs innumerable had fallen victims to
this cunous and cruel disprerition of the boy's.
Mt. Rawkossote asked him why he tortured the poultry in this
cruel way ?—He made no answer. •
The Magistrate, on •consulting Mr. Martin's Act, found that
its provision did not extend to poultry, but ordered him to find bail
under another Act of Parliament for a wilful injury.

INTERESTII4O CASE.—A poor woman, apparently about 23
years of age, named Sarah Siseelair, who had been twice brought
before the Alagistrates of this Office, having attempted to destroy
' herself, was a third time conducted befiwe them by the constable of
Christchurch watchhouse, having made another unsuccessful at-
tempt to drown herself, from which she was rescued with difficulty.
A watchman of the above parish stated, that on Sunday night,
when on duty near the foot of Westininater Bridge, ou the Lam.
beth side, he observed the unfortunate woman walk deliberately
down the stairs, and plunge into the river. Ue gave the 'alarm,
when a man, who now declined coming forward, immediately
jumped in after her, and succeeded in getting her on shore. For a
length of time she seemed to be dead, but having conveyed her to
' the watch-house and used restoratives she soon revived.
The constable of the night stated that when she partly recovered
the effects of immersion f.,S expressed great anxiety to proceed
about her business, but he refused to allow bar, as she then had
every apperisaire of being disordered in her intellects, from her in-
coherent mealier. The constable added that as soon ns the
woman was brought into the watchhouse he recognised her as
having attempted to strangle herself some short time ago at her
lodgings in the New Cut.
11Irs. Sarah Denney, of No. If, Robert-street, New Cut, whose
husband is a silver chaser, stated, thnt she was the sister of Sarah I
Sinclair, and would be happy to take her borne, but was not in cir-
cumauinces to maintain her without some assisnuice from the
pariah. She added that all her sister's misfortunes arose in conse- ,
nitence of having been abandoned by a military officer, who se-
duced her, and by whom she had two children, both of whom lie
had taken away from her, and sent them on the Continent. This
'latter circumstance sho said weighed heavily upon her sister's
mind, in addition to which her seducer deserted her without giving
her tiny allowance, or making the slightest provision for her sup-
port, her sister fatted), had endeavoured to support herself by
making soldiers' foraging caps, but this was such a precarious wsy

of imbsistiog that, had it not bein for her (Mr& *Ksosey'a) assist- I
ante, she would have often gone without a meal.
71be Magistrate having asked her the name of the person.by whom
she had been so scandalously treated,
Sinclair at first hesitated to disclose it, but at length she con.
sented to write down the name and address of the author of her
misfortunes, which WAS handed to the Magistrate, who, having
read it, pointed out to the unfortunate creatute the sin and wicked.
ness of the attempt which. Ace bad made upon her life. He then
asked her if site thoughtifiewlhould be happier in the next world,
if she committed self-dii(rartion ?

In reply, she said that. sfr.,; had long contemplated suicide, in con-
sequence of her troubles and distress, and that she was quite tired
of life.

Being further interrogated by the Magistrate, as to whether the
would consent to go home along with her sister? she answered in
the affirmative, repeating the facts before stated by dlrs. Kehsey,
relative to the treatitent she had experienced from her seducer, and
expressing a hope that lie would now be induced to do something
for her. She thought it a hard case that her two children should be
banished from her sight without even the consolation of hearing
whether they were dead or alive.
Mr. Chambers undertook to write to the gentleman alluded to,
whose name, at the request of thi Magistrate to our Reporter, we
forbear mentioning, ualess she is compelled to apply for parochial
relief.
