OWEN V. HOMEY.
This was an action to recover wages in lieu of notice,
plaintiff being a photographic operator, and defendant pro-
prietor of the rooms.
Plaintiff said that he had been engaged by defendant to
act as artist, and he was entitled to notice. Defendant,
however, had summarily dismissed him.
Mr. Buchanan (for defendant)—Did he not complain
that you were incompetent ?
Plaintiff—He would not give me time to finish the pic-
tures properly.
A bundle of portraits were here produced, and Mr.
Buchanan said, " Now, did not that gentleman refuse to
take his picture ?"

Plaintiff—Yes ; but while I was operating the defendant
came to the door, and made me so nervous that I told him
if he did not cease interfering, I must shut the door against
him.

His Honour having inspected the pictures complained of,
did not think any gentleman would be satisfied with them,
and if plaintiff was nervous, he should not complain of de-
fendant's refusal to employ him. Upon the whole, de-
fondant was entitled to a verdict.
Verdict for defendant.
THE LATE CASE OF SELLING A HUSBAND FOR £l5.
It may be remembered that a case (Litchfield v. Brandt)
was recently tried at this court, in which the plaintiff
sought to recover £l5 for the introduction of a husband to
defendant's daughter. The judge not only declared such
bargains were illegal and not binding in this country, but
awarded costs to the defendant. The plaintiff did not pay
the costs, and to-day was appointed for the hearing of a
judgment summons.

Plaintiff dia not appear, and Mr. Brandt (defendant's son:
said that plaintiff had formerly been a printer at Spottis.
woode's, but had gone away since the issuing of this sum•
mons. He could, however, pay if he liked.

His Honour then ordered plaintiff to be committed for
four days.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET,

ROBBERY AT THE ST. JAMES'S-HALL.—George
described as a traveller, address refused, was charged before
Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a purse containing £210x., the
property of Air. Samuel Androvs, secretary to the equitable
Gas Company, 21, John-street, Adelphi.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for the defence.

Mr. Andrews said he was in the act of paying for admis-
sion at St. James's-hall the previous night when he felt a
touch at his pocket, and turned round and said, "You rag-
cal you have stolen my purse." He (prosecutor) then
seized the prisoner's hand and took the purse from it, and
handed the prisoner over to his son to detain him till he
was given into custody. The purse contained X 2 10s, and
his season ticket for the Exhibition. The prit oner said,
" You have got your purse ; let me go."
Sergeant Winters, 8 C, proved receiving prisoner in cus-
tody, and finding £2 4s. in his possession besides that in the
purse. The prisoner refused his address.

Mr. Lewissaid.he was instructed to watch the case in the
unfortunate man's behalf. The prisoner's statement to
him was, that having made use of money not belonging to
him he had resorted to the desperate expedient of robbery
to make it up.
Mr. Andrews asked the magistrate to dispose of the case.
Prisoner was remanded.

DOG DEALERS AND THEIR PRACTICES.—Edward Saw-
ford, a dog dealer, of 1. rury-court, Strand, was charged
with being in possession of a dog, the property of Mr.
Daniel O'Rorke, of 18, Cecil-street, Strand, solicitor, the
dog having been stolen.

Mr. 0' Rorke said he bought the dog about a week or so
ago, and after having it only three days it was stolen
Yesterday he was walking through Pall• mall, when he saw
the prisoner leading the dog and claimed it, and as the
prisoner would not give it up be gave him into custody.
Prisoner—How much did you give for it ?
Prosecutor—Ten shillings.

Prisoner—Why, I would give 255. for it. The 'dog you
bought was a foxy one. I know who sold it to the prose-
cutor. The dog present is not the same that was sold you.
I shan't give up possession of it, mind. The dog you
bought was a foxy colour.
Prosecutor—Yes, but I know all about that—it was
dyed.

Prisoner—l know they rub dogs with red ochre after
they are washed, but that one has never been served so,
besides its two pounds heavier than yours.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week.

THA NIES.
ALLEGED ROBBERY OF A WATCH, &C.—John Dixon,
of 13, Batson-street, Limehouse, was charged before the

blacksmith, a silver watch and lb. 6d. in money, of the
total value of £2 is. 6d. from his dwelling-house at No.
15, Batson• street, Limehouse,

Haggerty, of Farmer's Folly, St. George's-in-the-East,
was charged with being found on board the schooner Nord,
with intent to commit a felony.
Mr. Graham, an inspector of of the Thames Police, said
that he saw the prisoner go on board the schooner, and
suspecting him being there for an unlawful purpose he
took him into custody.

The prisoner said that he was given to understand that
the master had a wild beast to sal for which he wanted
£2, and he went on board to see whether he would take £1
for it, and whilst speaking to the captain's wife, the in-
spector pounced upon him and took him into custody.
Mr.' Roche, the gaoler—Sergeant Dillon said that the
prisoner Had previously been in custody on several occa-
sions, and the magistrate sentenced him to three months'
imprisonment.

A FEMALE COMMITTED FOR TRIAL FOR STEALING FIVE
FARTHINGS'-WORTH OF SOAP.---Rose Birwood, a married
woman, was charged with stealitg a piece of soap from a
tray in the shop in charge of Charles Carmer, an oil and
colourman.
Mr. Chas. Young, solicitor, of Arbour-street, appeared
for the prisoner.
The evidence went to show that the prisoner went to the
shop for the allegeled purpose ofpurchasing a paraffin lamp
glass, and whis tooping down to look for one, the prisoner
was seen to take the piece of soap in question, wrap it in her
handkerchief, and place it under her arm. When she
entered the shop a boy was set to watch her, as she had been
suspected of doing the same many times before, and she was
given into custody.

Mr. Young endeavoured to elicit, in his usual ingenious
manner, that the prisoner only took the soap up for the pur-
pose of having it weighed, but without effect, and the pri-
soner was fully committed for trial.
