BEFORE MESSRS. DIXON, BOLTO N, AND R. GLADSTONE

Mr. Shelton, a colour manufacturer, having his factory
in Bedford-street, Park, was summoned at the suit of the
Health Committee, for creating a nuisance. Mr.
M'Gowan appeared for the complainant. It appeared that
the people who reside in the neighbourhood complained,
that when the wind was in a certain point, their houses
were much annoyed by the dust from the factory, which
turned their bed and cther linen into a red colour, and
also their furniture. The defendant, after some discussion,
agreed to abate the nusianee at once.
A NICE POINT Or Law.—Police constable Lang, No.
118, summond Catherine Seaton, the keeper of an im-
proper house in Hotham-street, for having" used obscene
language to the annoyance of passengers." Mr. Bluck
appeared for the defendant, and in his cross-examination
of the witnesses he caused much laughter, and elicited
some strange 'revelations regarding Hotham- street
affairs. He ascertained that the offence was committed
at three o'clock in the morning, and that there
were only two roistering drunken fellows in the street at
the time, and these enjoyed the " fan" very much. Mr.
Bluck took an objection to the summor s in point of law, and
contended that there was no " annoyance to passeng rs,"
inasmuch as there were no passengers in the street at the
time, and the mag;.strate agreeing with him on the point,
dismissed the summons.

" SIMPLICITY."—Esther Corlett, a furniture broker, was
summoned by Maria Williams and Jane Beatty for having
assaulted them. Mr. Black defended. The defendant was
a lady-like looking person, but from what was proved of
her conduct, it did not maintain the character which her
appearance proclaimed. She was fined £1 and costs in
one case, the other was dismissed.

THE CASE OF THOMAS FULLER BAcarc.—A.s the trial
of Bacon for the wilful murder of his mother, at Stam-
ford, will take place in London, the trial will not take
place until after the judge-; return from circuit ; probably
not until the August oPssioa. when a special day will be
appointed.
Da. RUS3ELL.—On the 16th, 17th, and 18-b, Dr. Russell
will deliver hi; lectures in Dublin, The Theatre Royal has
been selected as the " locus in quo ;" but it is thought,
with questionable prudence, a hip building of that des-
criptl,n seems peculiarly unfitted for such a purpose, and
by no means calculated to afford the same facilities to the
lecturer as the Ancient Concert Room, or even the
Rotunda. However, public anxiety has been so thoroughly
aroused by the prosp, ct of hearing Dr. Rusiell, that the
box-office is daily beseiged by applicants for places. The
scale of prices seem altogether unobj,,ctionable.
THE SOVEREIGN FAMILIES' OF .EUROPE.—" After the
visit of the Queen of England to Paris," says the Patrie,
" her Majesty, as a return for the hospitality with which
she has been received, made a present to the city of the
busts of herself and Prince Albert, in white marb!e, executed
by Marochet'i. The municipal council had them placed
in the salle, where it holds its sittia4s. Since the visit of
Queen Victoria, the Kings of Sardinia, Portugal, and
Bavaria have been in the capita', and the council has just
decided that the busts of thes-,! sovoreigrs shall be also
placed in the H 0,1 de Ville in vine tnhrance of their visits.
Once that the example his thus been given, it is probable
that, as all the sovereign 4 of Europa are visiting Paris,
there will not be a crowned head but will hays its -likeness
at the Hotel de Ville."

Loctett4B6D 14, PAueeitittati.--::This was an action brought
by. 3V.` of Crown. Chambers, Redcrods.--street,
against a carter, named Pazickerley, residing, in_Aimond-
street, Myrtle-street, for the 'Value of certain articles lost
While in the care of the defendant. On-the 20th of April,
_plaintiff employed defendant to CarritwO hampers front
Liverpciol, to
~Oxton, containing wine, ale, brandy, groceries,
and other articles. When-defendant arrivedat Oxton, it
'weal found that the greater part of the contents- of one of
the.hathpers was • missing altogether, and a . portion was
spoiled 'apparently by water: 'Some of the wine, the
brandy, the ale; and other articles were gone. Plaintiff
went to • defendant's house to get some explanation from
hign,-betas he could'not see hhn, he brought the action in
the court.. Mr. Rime, who appeared for defendant, said
he must ihroW biniself, to some extent, on the mercy, of
- the plaintiff. The- fact was', that when defendant was
taking the hardpers'to the steamer one of them fell into the
water from the Live: pool landieg-stage, and, it bursting
in the fall; the articles were lost or -spoiled. He urged
that the accident had nbt arisen from any' fault , or
negligiqicie on- the part' of the defendant. The defendant
one himself examined, and deposed to the facts 'as men-
tioned by Mr. Rime. The plaintiff said, hi . consideration
ofthe circumstances, ao would agree to take C 2 and costs.
Mr. Hime said his client ought to feel much obliged to the
plaintiff. Defendant agreed to pay the amount at ss. per
week, and a verdict was entered accordingly. The plaintiff
remarked that if the defendant had come to his office and
explained the circunistances, he would have saved himielf
from having to pay the costs of the action.
