NEIGHBOURS' QUARRELS.—George Cotton appeared to
a summons before Mr. Arnold, charged with making use
of abusive language towards a femala named Ogilvie, who
was subsequently charged with throwing a pail of water
over an infant. Mr. Drew, solicitor, of New Basinghall-
street, was engaged for the complainant.
It appeared that the complainant and the defendant were
neighbours, living in George-street, Chelsea, and that they
were not on friendly terms. On the 27th of May, com-
plainant was at her door, when the defendant, who hap-
pened to see her, made use of some filthy expressions, and
called her an old washerwoman, complainant not being of
that occupation. Upon this summons being issued, a
counter-summons was taken out against the complainant,
who was accused of throwing a pail of water over an.infant
belonging to the defendant.

Numerous witnesses were examinel:on each side, and it
was stated by one of them that the infant was nearly

drowned.

Complainant denied that she flung the water as alleged,
and said that she intended the water for the defendant's
son, who was annoying her, and that accidentally some of
the water went over the child. She was sorry that any of
it went over the infant.

Mr Arnold observed that such was most likely to be the
case, and that he thought the best course to take was to
hold each to bail to keep the peace towards the other for
six months.
This was done, and the parties left the court.

DANGEROUS SPouT.—A
mechanic named Hemming,
of Glanen's-street, Bow-common, came before Mr Partridge,
and complained of the dangerous mature of the pigeon
shooting, practised in the grounds of the Prince of Wales
tavern, on Bow-common. The shot from a rifle aimed at
a tamed pigeon struck his back winiow, broke five panes
of glass, and were scattered about the room. Two shots
entered his breast and put
him to great pain and incon-
venience.

Mr Partridge—How far is the shooting ground from your

An cfficer of tho Reg Company Canal Company said that a
place was set apart for bathers in the Victoria Dock, and
the Regent's Canal Company had provided a large piece of
water with half an acre of ground in Cambridge_heath,
Bethnal-green, The admission to the place was one half-
penny only.
Mr Partridge said there was no excuse
whatever for
public bathing and indecent exhibitions in populous
districts bordering on the canal. He fined Wilson os, and
ordered that Conolly should find one surety to keep the
peace for a month.
[ERRATA—In OUT report yesterday the substitution of
the word " smashed" for " insinuated" altered the meaning
of tho magistrate's observations. It should have been
thus :—Most likely the complainant Mrs Lawrence in-
sinuate . something against the defendants after the attack
upon her. The rest of the sentence was correctly given.]
