LA W INIBLLIGBNCE,—(This Day.)

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Joyce.)

THE MORALITY OP PUBLIC SALES.-CRAWLEY T. TAYLOR.
This was an action to recover £l6 for rent, and defendant
pleaded a set-off for purchasing wines at public sales.
Mr. Pook, for the plaintiff, said that both the parties are
wine merchants.

Mr. Buchanan, for the defendant, said he would admit
plaintiff's case, and proceed at once to prove his set-off.
Defendant said he had purchased various lots at public
sales for plaintiff, and in fact that person had once actually
consented to arbitrate the case.

Mr. Pook (in reference to one item)—Now, sir, was not
that a " Knock-out."

Defendant—l bought a large quantity.
Mr. Pook—You know what I mean. Did not you and
three or four other wine merchants combine together ?
Defendant—No.. I bought for one house.
Mr. Pook—Did you not agree that they shculd not bid
against you, and was there not a " knock out ?"

Defendant—The goods were put up a second time. We
do not call it a " knock out," but a second sale.

It was then discovered that the item in question had been
omitted from one account, which defendant explained, and
his Honour recommended Mr. Buchanan to withdraw his
plea of set-off, and bring an action for the amount.
Mr. Buchanan adopted this course upon his Honour's
suggestion, and the verdict passed for plaintiff, with costs.

POLICE INTELLIC'ENCE.—( This Day.)

BOW STREET.

WATCH ROBBERY.—A middle-aged woman, named
Elizabeth Buckland, was brought up on remand, charged
with stealing a gold watch, valued at £3O, from the person
of Mr. Williamson.

From the evidence it appeared that on Friday last a
crowd was attracted in St. Andrew-street by one of the
horses attached to an omnibus getting its leg entangled in
the harness. The prosecutor and a tradesman named
Hughes, of Great White Lion-street, were amongst the
crowd, when the prisoner deliberately put her hand up to
Hughes's waistcoat pocket to ascertain whether he had a
watch. He was perfectly surprised at the coolness of the
act, when the prisoner told him to get out of
the way in order to allow her to pass. She
then proceeded towards Mr. Williamson, who
wore a very massive Albert chain, and taking her position
at his back passed her hand round to his pocket and suc-
ceeded in getting away his watch. He then trade his loss
known, when Hughes observed that it must have been the
woman who " sounded" him, and she was then taken into
custody by police-constable 175 F. The watch of course
was not recovered.

The prisoner said she hoped his worship would deal with
the case as leniently as he could, although she was perfectly
innocent of stealing the watch.
Police-sergeant, 4 G, informed the magistrate that the
prisoner was a very old and practised offender. He was
present at the Central Court in March, 1857, when she was
sentenced to nine months' imprisonment for maliciously
cutting and wounding; and another constable knew her to
have been sentenced to ten years' transportation for watch
stealing.
