COMMON PLEAS. DEC. 7.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice COLTMAN

WESTON V. ELSE.

Herr Simonsen here begged leave to deprecate poli-
tics altogether. His art had nothing to do with politi-
cal pulses, but was sure to reach the extremities of
beggars or of kings.
The corn-cutter's friend said that in one case a gen-
tleman, whose feet were so full of what was called
" double mulled corns" that he made a noise when he
hobbled about barefooted in a room as if he had wooden
shoes on, run up and down stairs like a cat when he
was operated upon by Herr Simonsen.—(Laughter.)
The LORD Al alma admitted that the skill which
effected such an object as the cure of deep-rooted corns
must be very considerable, but for his part he did not
desire to change his manipulator.
Herr Simonsen said that he brought ladies' feet, which
had been by means of tight shoes pressed into the con-
dition of those of the women of China, into a comfort-
able walking state, as well as restored them to their pri-
mitive delicacy and beauty. He removed bunions and
cow blobs, and rickerum bobus, from the teet with equal
celerity, and he clipped and pared all manner of lark-
heeled feet, and made them look as if nature had some-
thing to do with them.
It was stated by a foreigner, who happened to be
present on other business, that Herr Simonsen had made
many extraordinary cures in Copenhagen some time
ago, and that his power of extracting excrescences
was so great that there remained in the foot, after the
operations, not a particle of the semina of podal dis-
temper.
Herr Simonsen said that he had been introduced by
Baron De Bertouch, of the Danish Embassy, to Dr.
David, who had suffered for several years from enrooted
nails, corns, and bunnions, and that the Doctor got
completely well under his care. Four individuals be-
longing to the Tea Establishment, Nos. 4 and 5, King-
William-street, who had been afflicted with distressing
corns, also were restored to the perfect use and com-
mand of their feet. His operations were as agreeable
as imaginable.
His LORDSHIP said, that in all probability so re-
markable an appeal would not escape the press, and the
public would be enabled to judge for themselves of the
merits of the system.
Herr Simonsen returned thanks to the LORD MAYOR
for the kindness and affability with which his Lordship
had received him, and hoped that his Lordship would
one day take it into his head to allow him to extirpate
what had so often been temporarily removed. He then
retired.
The Chiropodist is a man of great bodily strength,
and the journals of the Continent, from which he had
many paragraphs, bore strong testimony to his manipula-
tory powers and skill.

This was an action to recover 351., for clothes sup-
plied to defendant, who pleaded infancy, to which the
reolication was " necessAries." The articles consisted
of coats, &c.
Mr. Kelly was for the plaintiff, Mr. Sergeant
'Faltourd and Mr. Barstow for defendant.

Verdict for plaintiff.
WADDELL V. PARDO.-" PAUL PRY."

This was an action to recover 30/. which had been
deposited with defendant, the publisher of the Paul Pry.
as security, plaintiff having applied for a situation as
porter, in a " first-rate publishing house" as he was
told by advertisement, but not choosing, he said, to risk
his character by going into the Paul Pry office.
There was no defence, and the verdict was for the
plaintiff.
Sergeant Bompas and Mr. Hoggins for plaintiff.
Mr. Humphries for defendant, who tried to raise a
legal quibble unsuccessfully.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

A CORN-CUTTER EXTRAORDINARY.—On Saturday
Herr Simonsen, of East-street, Lamb's Conduit-street,
a corn cutter of extraordinary skill, appeared before the
Lord Mayor, for the purpose of laying before his Lord-
ship testimonials of his qualificntions as a chiropodist,
and offering to give a taste of his quality upon the feet
of any of the members of the Corporation. He had
lately arrived from Germany, and professed to be able
to remove any excrescences upon the feet, or other ob-
structions to walking, and he was accompanied by an
interpreter, and a gentleman who had witnessed his
experiments.
The LORD MAYOR asked why application bad been
made to him upon so strange a subject ?
Herr Simonsen replied that it was observed in the
countries on the Continent, and from the public reports,that there was no subject, whether of law, medicine, or
theology, which did not seem to be referred to the Judg-
ment of the Lord Mayor, and as the health of the ex-
tremities was a matter of great importance to men of
business, he considered that the Chief Magistrate of
the place in which more business was done. than any-

where else was the most proper person to be applied to. had received his injuries horn falling on the fire-irons.
The LORD MAYOR stated that his corns were regu- It was proved, however, from the nature of the blows,

foreigner, did not appear to possess that ease of address his °Odor, that they had grossly exceeded their duty,
and manner essential to the character of a corn-cutter and that they were unfit to continue a single hour
Herr Simonsen was willing to enter into immediate longer in their situation as constables. He also directed
competition with anybody in the art ; he had removed, i Mr. Harris, the Inspector, to communicate his opinion
without giving the least pain, the most deeply-rooted j to the Superintendent of the H division, and freed the
nodosities, and released the toes from the most frightful prisoner from the charge of the female Field.

people the claims of a man were independent of the I man, whose person was covered with a horsecloth, his

Hamburg ; the Rev. Richard Barker, the Consul Ge-
neral to the Grand Duchy of Mecle Schwerin in Lon-
don ; Chris. Kreeft, a great number of Members of
the British Parli iment, and other gentlemen.
The LORD MAYOR said he had no doubt of the au-
thenticity of the numerous documents which were laid
before him. He observed amongst the rest was a tes-
timonial from Mr. Daniel O'Connell, with whose writ-
ing multitudes were familiar.
A gentleman who accompanied the corn-cutter said
that Mr. O'Connell had suffered so much from corns
that he had quite a feeble and ancient appearance in the
streets, the agony of the Honourable Gentleman's toes
having communicated strong symptoms of distress to
his countenance, and sometimes it was suspected having
actually checked the current of his eloquence. The
moment, however, the Honourable Gentleman's feet got
into the hands of Herr Simonsen he resumed his bloom
Mg front, with his firm step, to the great annoyance of
his enemies.

UNION- HALL.
Thomas Wilson was fully committed for trial for the
following impudent robbery :—On Friday night the pri-
soner dashed his hand through the window of a Cutlers
shop in Blackman-street, and seizing a quantity of ivory
knives ran off with them, followed by the foreman end
two police-officers. The fellow threw down the knives,
and, rushing into a house, prayed the frightened
mates to save him from the bailiffs, who were about to
arrest him for debt. His appeal was suc,.essful, and
they allowed him to secrete himself in a cupboard ; but,
hearing from the policemen the real facts they gave bin'
up, and he was dragged from his hiding-place to prison.

Some of our Contemporaries are wasting space
in discussing the question, whether Lord John Russell,
in moving from the Home to the Colonial Office, has
vacsted his seat for Stroud. Ignorant correspondents
may be allowed to ask such questions ;
but our Con-
temporaries must well know that her Majesty, in giving
the Seals of Office to a Secretary of State, assigns to
him no particular department. The fact is, that the
Sovereign has now three principal Secretaries of State,
and that the circumstance of one or the other being
charged with the Home or the Colonial business of thea
Crown, is a mere matter of internal arrangement.
leaving the Home Department Lord John Russell did
not resign his seals of office, and, of course, he did ec't
accept the seals of any new one. The fools who taik
of these matters say also that Mr. Labouchere bas vr
cated his seat by assuming the Chair of President of
the Board of Trade. They who say so know nothing
of the matter.—Observer.

is a very striking object in the south gardens, and Was
constructed from a design of Sir Francis CbantreY•
On account of the mortality to which these animals
were subject at the old houses every attention, bag
been paid in this new building, both by proper.heting and ventilation, to secure their health. The length
:s about seventy feet, and the width thirty feet, the
height of the cages being about 25 feet, a lanthorn roof
surmounting the building. The mode of heating is by
a constant circulation of hot air, and the whole of the
atmosphere in the room is changed four times in to
hour. There are ten small and two large cases.?
which the animals are grouped, according to scientifiet
arrangement, so as to render the species very easy ?re
reference. The capacious size of these cages affordd
the animals better opportunities for exercise, an_
exhibits their gambols more true to nature, and on the
outside of the building there will be an equal improve;
ment in their accommodation. The giraffes, which
now commencing their fourth year's residence in tr
