LA W---THIS

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)

IMPORTANT TO NEWS AGENTS—D-4.WSON V. GILL;aI.
This was an action to recover for the supply of a periodi •
cal, defendant pleading never indebted, except as to 4s.
Plaintiffs in this case arc the well known news agents of
Cannon-street, and defendant is a surgeon.
Plaintiffs' agent said he had received an order to supply
the Lancet newspaper to the defendant. The paper was
sent each weekrregularly.
His Honour—Have you the order?
Witness—l have made every search for it, but I can't
find it.

Defendant—l admit that I ordered the newspaper, and
I received it for six weeks. I was then employed in the
Cunard service, and countermanded the order.
Plaintiffs' agent—l never received the countermand.
Defendant—l do not know Messrs. Dawson at all. The
facts al e these. I ordered the paper from the Lancet office.
Plaintiffs' agent—Yes, that would be so. The Lancet
sends us all orders. If you were to send an order to the
Times, they would not send the paper, but would forward
the order to a news agent.
_ _

HI 8

IC4i 4

Defendant--I wrote to the Lvu'et when I received my
appointment, and countermanded the future supply.
His Honour -You wrote to the Lanect ?
_ _ _

Defendant—Just so, and I can prove that I did so.
Plaintiff's agent —We never had that letter.

His Honour—That may be a very good ground of action
against the Lancet fur negligence, but defendant has pro.
tected himself. If a reader countermands the supply of a
paper ho is not, bound to return those sent alter the counter •
mind. Plaintiffs then will have averdict for 4s.

POLICE---THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A GANG OF JUVENILE SHOP-LIFTERS.--Mary Frances
Lyons, Sarah Firmin, and Mary Eliza Duffall, the eldest
of whom was not more than 14 years of age, were charged
before Mr. Knox with stealing some gauntlets from the
shop of Mr. Henry Watts, hosier, &c., of Oxford •street,
and a piece of cotton print from Messrs. Stagg and Mantle's,
Leicester-square.

The prisoner Firmin has been twice in custody on a
similar charge, and her brother was committed from this
court yesterday.

1011 1

The girls went into the shop of Mr. Watts, asked to see
some gauntlets, and after looking at a number, said none
would suit, and they would call again. The assistant said
they could not leave till they had given up the gauntlets
they had about them, when they denied having any, but
a pair was found on each, and at their feet a piece of cotton
print, which was identified by a person from Messrs. Stagg
and Mantle's.
The father of Duffall said that Firmin, whose character
he was not acquainted with, came to his house yesterday
and asked him to let his daughter go for a short walk with
her, and he gave her permission to do so, little thinking
what her object was.
Mr. Knox said he would. give Duffel' up to her father,
but he would advise him to take great care of her for the
future.

Bunce, C division, said he knew the girl Firmin as a very
bad character, and she had been twice in custody.
Mr. Knox said he should commit Firmin for three
months with hard labour, and remand Lyons for a week.

A LAWYER'S PRIVILEGES.-Mr, Robert Blake, a person
of gentlemanly address, was charged with creating a dis-
`urbane° while in a state of drunkenness at the Victoria-

station.

George Grebe, cab-inspector at the London, Chatham,
and Dover Railway, said that at 5 o'clock last evening the
defendant was there drunk, and caused a number of people
to congregate around him. Witness requested him to go
away, he would not. His language was very bad, and when
spoken to he said he was a lawyer and would do as he liked.
As witness could not prevail upon him to go away he
locked him up. He had shortly before endeavoured to force
himself into an omnibus.
Mr. Paynter—He was disturbing others on the station ?
Witness—He was.
Mr. Paynter—Aud said he was a lawyer, and would do
as he liked ?
Witness—He did, your worship.
Defendant—l admit the drunkenness. I had had an
early dinner and taken too much hock.
Mr. Paynter—Lawyers can't do what they like more
than any other people.
Defendant-L-I must really deny that I made that obser-
vation.

Mr. Paynter—You are fined 203.
Defendant—Allow me to say I shall appeal, if I have an
opportunity of doing so. I should like to know why so
heavy a fine is imposed.
Mr. Paynter—lt is a serious matter to create a disturb-
ance and obstruction at a railway—more than at many other
places. A person in the profession of the law ought to set
a better example.
Defendant--I am not.a lawyer. I think this fine is very
excessive.
Mr. Paynter—l do not consider it so.
Dcfendant—Pavour toe with the nice distinction that
fines me 20s. and another man ss. for the same oficnea
Mr. Paynter—ln the administration of justice fines vary
in amount according to the ability of the person to pay, and
in your position I have considered this a proper amount.
A greater obedience to the law and a better example aro
expected from persons of your class than those of a lower
degree.

Defendant was then informed there was no appeal.

A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST AND THE CON-
PESSIONAL.—A curious case was heard in the Justice of
Peace Court, Glasgow, on Monday. An Irish labourer

restitution was made
upon the advice of Mr. M'Lauchlin, the Roman Catholic
clergyman at Tollcross. He was summoned as a witness ;
but, founding upon the inviolability of the Confessional, he
first refused to swear that he would tell "the whole truth,"
a prosecutionu
and then demurred to answer sundry questions that were
put to him, on the ground that a priest, knowing any cir-
cumstance only as a priest, in his official capacity, even
though not in the confessional, taut not reveal it. The
court considering this too liberal a view of a clergyman's
privilege, threatened committal, but on Mr. M'Lauchlin
asking for time to consider, the case was adjourned till yes-
terday ( Thursday), when Mr. M'Lauchlin was again
brought forward and asked to what resolution he had come
to on the subject. He reiterated his refusal to answer the
question, on the ground of conscientious scruples. He was
then sentenced to thirty days' imprisonment. Some marks
of disapprobation ensued in court, Which,
however, were
speedily suppressed.
PUGILISM.—PATSY REARDON AND SAS. DILLON.
—Fred Oliver, who acted as referee in the late gallant con-
test between these men, has at length given his decision.
The stakeholder received a letter from Oliver yesterday
morning, in which he (the referee) awarded the battle money
to Reardon, saying that was the only verdict he could come
to as an impartial judge. Bets, it is almost superfluous to
state, stand goo 4 and go with the lAttie inouey,
