LAW-THIS DAY.

CCURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(B,fore Mr. Registrar Roche.)
Ix RE JONES.
This bankrup was a hosier, at Tottenham, and this was
a meeting for choke of assignees.

Mr. T. Beard Lppeared for the petitioner, and put in a
list of creditors vho had proved their debts, and proposed a
Mr. King, warekieseman, in the City, but a counter pro-
position was mate by a widow lady, who proved her debt
by power of attolie-c, and was not in attendance.
Mr. Beard cbjectad, and said the trade creditors wished
for a trade assignee, and not an old lady of 75.
The learned Registrar said that was not desirable, but he
suggested there should be a joint assigneeship.
Mr. Beard said that would be worse still ; some very
ant'quated notions night be brought forward not at all con-
sist eat with present views.

The Registrar gild he could not decide ; the question was
one for the Commissioner, and he should adjourn the choice
till the last examination.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
:N RE MORGAN.

This bankrupt wasdescribed as of Poppin's• court, Fleet-
sttret, dairyman, an/ this was a meeting for last exami-
nation.

Air. Beard opposed, on the ground that the bankrupt had
unfairly got rid of his property.
His Honour said that if persons would denude themselves
of all their property lefore they came to this Court they
must take the conseqtences. The case would be adjourned.
Bankrupt would be a lowed to come up at his own expense,
or the petition would be dismissed.

SECONDARIES' COURT.
(Before Mr. Potter and a Common Jury.)

EXTRAORDINARY CASE. OF TRESPASS AND EJECTMENT.
-DAMAGES £150.--PAW SON V. SMITH.

This was a writ of inquiry sent down from the Court of
Common Pleas to assets the damages laid at £l,OOO under
circumstances detailed as under by the learned counsel for
the plaintiff.

Mr. Griffiths, for the plaintiff, said that there were in
the south side of St. raid's Churchyard, some very exten-
sive premises known as St. Paul's Hotel, and it was in
reference to those premises that the present proceedings
arose. Mr. Pawson cbtained a lease from the Dean and
Chapter of St. Paul's for a period of 21 years, and he found
that under a former lessee there was a sub-lessee, who
again let to the defendant, then in possession and carrying
on the hotel. When ylaintiff made known to defendant
that he had become lessee of the premises, defendant's term
had nearly expired, but 'le begged plaintiff would allow him
to remain for a short tiro € longer. This was permitted, and
defendant offered plaintir £2Ol to be allowed to remain
for three months more, Plaintiff granted this request, and
defendant continued in cceupation ; but upon a certain day
defendant wrote to plaintiff that, acting under the advice of
his solicitor, ho declined lo come to any terms with plaintiff,
who had said defendant hid no right or title to the premises.
Under these circumstances plaintiff sued out a suit of eject-
ment, which defendant o/posed, but unsuccessfully, before
a judge, and the trial wet ordered for hearing, when sud-
denly defendant turned ratnd and admitted the wrong. He
(the learned counsel) pointed out the expense to which
plaintiff had been put, Qui urged the loss sustained by
plaintiff, as defendant not ~nly refused to quit the hotel,
but actually shut it up, and to this day plaintiff had been
unable to gut a tenant.

Mr. Needham, for defen/ant, consulted with his client,
and the result was a verdict for £l5O.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

BOW-STEEET, THIS DAY.

THROWING BOILING WATER OVER A BOY.—James
Williams, who keeps a ccffeeshop in the neighbourhood of
the Seven Dials, was charged with throwing a quantity of
boiling water over Charle; Creasy, a boy about 12 years of
age.
The boy Creasy said—The saucepan was on the fire in
Williams's back room, ant I was in the passage. He had
been quarrelling with mymother, and I had taken her part
during the row. I saw lim take up the saucepan, and I
ran away, but he followed and threw the hot water atter
me. It scalded the back 07 my head.
Mr. Abrams, the solicitor, who attended for the prisones,
asked the witness whether his mother was not living with
Williams a, his wife?

The witness replied she iad done so for five or six yearn.
Mr. Abrams—Did you B-4 your mother throw a bottle at
the prisoner.
Witness—No; I didn't.

Mr. Abrams—Did he thrcw the water at you, or at her ?
Witness—Ho took up the saucepan to throw the water
at her, but she got out of the way, and then he threw it at
me.

Mr. Henry —lt would not alter the case if it were so;
the law is that if he threw it at her, and it missed, and went
over the boy, that would be an assault.

Mr. Abrams—l am quitiaware of that, but then it makes
a aifference, I submit, in a degree. The mother of the boy
and the prisoner had been quarrelling, and she bad given
him great provocation. I believe up to the present time
my client has always treato4 the lad with kindness. He
now extremely sorry for what has occurred. I am not
offering these remarks to your worship as an excuse for
what the prisoner has done, but I am bound to point out
that the case, bad as it is, does not arise out of a deliberate
attack on the child who had given no provocation.
The mother of the boy contradicted many of the state-
ments put forth on the part of the prisoner. His conduct
to her had been very bad, and the should have left him long
ago, but being without money she was compelled to remain
with him. She had pawned all her clothing at the request
of the prisoner, and if she attempted to look after a situa-
tion in the shabby things she row had on, which were all
she had in her possession, she was certain to one would
employ her. She was willing to leave him at that moment
if he would but give her some money to get clothes with.
Mr. Abrams said, if an arrangement was permitted, the
prisoner was willing to make a provision for the woman
and her son.

Mr. Henry remarked that pity for the poor woman and
her child would induce him to consent to any such arrange-
ment; but he wished it to be distinctly understood that he
was not influenced by any merciful consideration towards
the prisoner, whom, on the contrary, he had determined to
send to prison without the option of a tine if he did not sa
tisfy the mother and her boy. He looked upon the assault
as one of a very cruel nature. The poor fellow's bandaged
head and scarred face showed tiat he had suffered very
severely.

Mr. Abrams--The scars on the boy's face arose from
other causes—certainly not from hot water.
Mr. Henry—Well, if the prisoner knew that, that was an
additional reason why he should not have thrown the water
over him.

The parties then retired, and after a short absence, Mr.
Abrams said he would agree that the prisoner should be
bound over for six months to keep the peace towards the
complainant and her son—that he 'would provide the furni-
ture and clothing according to the list drawn up by her—
and that he would pay to the party appointed by her to re-
ceive it the sum of 10s. Gd. per week for their support.
Mr. Henry said he would reserve his judgment for three
months. During that time he would take care to be well
informed as to how the prisoner performed his part of the
contract; but of this he might rest perfectly satisfied, that
if he omitted his payments, or in any way annoyed the poor
woman, ho would send him to prison without the liberty of
paying a fine.
