SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Gibbons.)

SEATS TO 'VIEW TUE ROYAL PROCESSION-IMPORTANT
DECISION-SHUM V. WLRAN.

This was an action to recover damages alleged to have
been sustained in consequence of defendant, a looking-glass
manufacturer, of Fleet-street, neglecting to provide certain
seats to view the Royal procession on the 7th March last,
as agreed.

Mr. James, for the plaintiff; said—My client is an attor-
ney, and he was anxious to view the procession of the Royal
party through the City of London on the 7th March last.
He called upon defendant, and agreed to give 6s. for
three seats. Having paid the money. plaintiff received three
tickets, signed by a p rson named Wallis.
His Honour—l see chat Wallis is joined in the action.
Air. James—Yes, we did not know what defence would
be set up, but we shall not go against Wallis. I shall call
my client.

Plaintiff said--I went with two relations to my seats
about half-past one on the 7th March. I found at that time
that my seats were occupied, and I spoke to defendant
about it. He tried to persuade the persons who had ob-
tained my places to vacate them, but they refused.
Mr. James—Did defendant offer to provide other seats ?
Plaintiff—No.
His Honor—That would only have been a new contract.
Plaintiff—l was put to very considerable inconvenience
in consequence of not getting my seats.
Mr. James then handed in the ticket which had been
received from Wallis.

His Honour—lt is perfectly clear that defendant has
broken his contract. He agreed to supply plaintiff with
certain seats, and upon that understanding plaintiff paid
the money asked for them. I am not now dealing with the
question as to whether defendant offered other seats, but I
must hold that plaintiff was entitled to those seats for
which he paid. Under those circumstances I must find for
plait tiff, with costs.

reason to suspect the prisoner, and these suspicions were
confirmed by her husband's Wellington boots—value 18s.—
disappearing a few days afterwards. She then refused

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SINGULAR REQUEST.—AN APOLOGY TO THE QUERN.—
Soon after Mr. Knox took his seat on the bench this morn
ing, a respectably dressed young man stepped into the box
allotted to applicants, and addressing the magistrate, said :
Sir,—l am sorry to say that last nigh', in a moment cf
excitement and irritation, I said something disparaging re-
specting her Majesty. Now, as I fear that I may be deemed
an enemy to my Queen and country, and not a loyal sub-
ject, I have come to express my regret and sorrow.
Mr. Knox said he was very glad to hear it.

Applicant—l have also to request that besides apologis.
ing I may be allowed to take the oath of allegiance,
_ _

Mr. Knox said the applicant's declaration of his regret
and apology were sufficient, and he hoped he was now a
loyal subject,

The applicant, who seemed much relieved after making
his statement, thanked the magistrate and withdrew.

the magistrate for a summons against Mrs. Mary Ann King
