COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

Hilary term commenced this morning. The new judge,
Mr. Justice Mellor, having gone through the usual for-
malities, took his seat on the bench.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

In this court their lordships were occupied in hearing the
arguments of Mr. O'Malley in a case in which the point
raised was the fulfilment of a contract for the conveyance of
certain goods to llavre. It was totally devoid of public in-
terest.

The Lord Chief Justice said a communication had been
received stating that Mr. Edward James was very unwell,
and therefore he thought it would be convenient, if such a
circumstance was known, that the Court should postpone all
the cases in which his attendance was absolutely essential
until he was able to attend.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
(Before Chief Justice Erle.)
COOKE V. HUMBER.

This was an appeal from the decision of the Revising
Barristers of Bridgwater, and the question raised was whe-
ther, when both landlord and tenant resided on the premises,
who had the note. The plaintiff claimed the vote on the
ground that he occupied certain portions of the house, and
had uninterrupted right of access. The revising barrister
held that the claim was not such as could be considered a
householder, and therefore disallowed to vote. The Court
thought the decision of the revising barrister was right, and
therefore confirmed the decision.
WILSON V. ROBERTS.

This also was an appeal from the revising barrister for
the City of London, and the question was .whether the
claimant holding certain offices in a house had the right
of voting. He had the uncontrolled right of ingress and
egress, but he did not reside on the premises. The revis-
ing barrister held that it was not such a separate tenement
as, under the Reform Act, gave the right to vote, and
therefore disallowed the claim.
The Court confirmed the decision.

POLICE INTELLIGBNCE.—(.77Iis Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CAUTION TO LADIES---Wm. Holden, a dirty-looking
fellow, and who informed Sergeant Boden, of the D division,
who took him into custody, that he had tramped up to
London from Manchester, was charged before Mr. Tyr-
whitt with picking the pocket of a lady in Oxford-street.
Sergeant Boden; 11 D, said that on the previous evening
while passing Montanari's wax doll shop in Oxford-street,
being on the top of an omnibus at the time, he saw the pri-
soner standing by some ladies looking in the window.
Suspecting his object, he got down from the omnibus and
placed himself behind a cab stand, co that he might watch
him, and he then saw the prisoner try several ladies' poc-
kets, and at last take something from one and walk away.
Me followed him, and saw him examining something, and
on afterwards taking him into custody he frund on him the
portemonnaie produced. On the way to the station prisoner
said why he came to London was because he had no work,
and he had lost the use of one of his hands, but it was that
hand which he used to pick the lady's pocket.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the officer whether it was a valuable
purse ?

Sergeant Boden said that although it glittered it was not
gold.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for three months
with hard labour.
