Defendant—l admit that I ordered the newspaper, and
I received it for six week'. 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 are these. I ordered the paper from the _Lancet °Mae,
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.
Defendant—l wrote to the Lancet when I received my
appointment, and countermanded the future supply.
His Honour- -You wrote to the _Lancet .2
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 he is not bound to return those sent after the counter•
mand. Plaintiffs then will have averdict for 4s.

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 Duffall up to her father,
but he would advise him to take groat care of her for the
future.

bad character, and she had been twice in custody.

months with hard labour, and remand Lyons for a week.

WESTMINSTER.
A LAWYER'S PRIVILEGES.-Mr. Robert Blake, a person
of gentlemanly address, was charged with creating a dis-
turbance 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—And said he was a lawyer, and would do
as he liked ?

Witness—He did, your worship,
Defendant--I admit tho 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 must really deny that I made that obser-
vation.

Mr. Paynter—You are fined 20a.
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 othci
places. A person in the profession of Lhe law ought to set
a better example.

Defendant—l am not a lawyer. I think this fine is very
excessive,

Mr. Paynter—l do not consider it so.
Defendant—Favour me with the nice distinction that
fines me 20s. and another man ss. for the same offenoa ?
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 are
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-
I'ESSIONAL.—A curious case was heard in the Justice of
was brought up charged with stealing Xl, which, however,
Y. Au Irish labourer
anonymously. The theory
of the prosecution obviously was that restitution was made
upon the advice of Mr. MT. hi
‘—aue---in) the Roman Catholic
hPaedacseubCsoeigutenGtlylabBgeeonw'reosntor
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,"
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, must 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 ( f hursday), when Mr. M`Lauchlin was again
brought forward and asked to what resolution ho had come
to on the subject. lie 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.
