LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day )

SHERIFFS' COURT.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
sEropnzin T. BREMBRAGE.

This was an action to recover damages for the loss of
certain property in defendant's coffeehouse.
Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, who is a waiter ;
Mr. Beard, representing defendant, who is a coffeehouse-
keeper.

Mr. Buchanan said that his client was a waiter, and he
had a room at deferlant's house. In this room there was a
chest of drawers for the plaintiff's use, and he put his
money and a gold chain in a little box, which being locked,
was placed in one of the drawers. When he first took the
room he used to lock his door and give the key to the land-
lord, but as the landlord (defendant) said there really was
no occasion for his doing so, he left the key in the door
when he went out. Upon his return one day he went to
his box and found that he could not unlock it, and dis-
covered afterwards that the lock had been forced.
All his money, some £5, and his gold chain had been taken
away, and a foreign farthing, which had been lying loose
in the drawer put in the box. Under these circumstances
plaintiff applied to defendant to make good the loss, and
upon a refusal the present action was brought.
Mr. Beard took an objection, that this case did not come
within the terms of the Innkeepers' Act at all.
Mr. Buchanan urged that where a person kept open
house fot refreshment and let beds, he became an innkeeper
within the meaning of the act, and was liable for property
lost in his premises by a guest.

Mr. Beard inquired how plaintiff was the guest in this
ease.

Mr. Buchanan said that he took the room at ss. per

week.

Mr. Beard—Then that is a mere lodging, and takes the
case out of the act at once.

His Honour (Mr Kerr)—Yes, that would be so ; Mr.
Buchanan, you cannot get over this.
Mr. Buchanan—l see it, your Honour, and I will elect
to be nonsuited.
Plaintiff nonsuited.

PROPOSED USE OF TREACLE IN BREWERIES.—
Some official correspondence has been laid before
Parliament on the subject of allowing syrup, treacle, and
other refuse liquid or semi-liquid produced in refining
sugar to be used in breweries. The correspondence states
the regulations which the Commissioners of Inland Re-
venue suggest, with a view to prevent (as far as practi-
cable) damage to the revenue. With relation to other
damage, it appears that London brewers express little or
no desire for legislation in favour of the proposal, and some
of them state that the result will be to lower the standard
quality of beer, and increase an existing practice resorted
to by unscrupulous dealers, retailers, and exporters, of
mixing beer of inferior quality with that made by brewers
of established reputation, and selling the mixture as the
produce of the best breweries. Messrs. Barclay, Messrs.
Hanbury, and Messrs. Whitbread state that they should
not avail themselves of the proposed law, as they find that
the quality of beer is never so good as when malt only is
used. Certain Liverpool sugar refiners reply that the want
of visible interest in the subject on the part of the London
brewers is no proof that they do not desire the permission
and would not avail themselves of it extensively, and that
indifference on the part of the brewers ought not to de-
prive sugar refiners of an outlet for their lowest product.
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT FROM A PILE-DRIVING
MACHINE.--On Wednesday last an accident oc-
curred on the South *Yorkshire Extension Railway. A
time-keeper, named George Truswell, was writing in a
time book on the top of a pile that had been partly driven
in to form the dam previous to the erection of a bridge,
when the pile-driving machine was put in motion, and the
hammer came down, striking his head, which was much
co piut,aenceds,
then both his hands. The left hand was smashedt
and two of the fingers of the right hand were
injured very much. Medical assistance was obtained, and
it was found necessary afterwards to amputate the left
hand.

ACCIDENT TO A MAIL TRAIN.—On Thursday
morning, about three o'clock, an accident occurred to the
Scotch down mail train, which left London at 8.40 on
Wednesday evening. After leaving Lancaster, a bank
engine followed, and, overtaking the mail train, ran into
and completely doubled up the rear vans. The guard and
a commercial gentleman were injured, and so great was the
shock that the mail was delayed fully two hours.
The Nazione of Florence announces the arrival
in th t city of the Bishops of Versailles And of Soissons,
the former going to Leghorn, and the latter being about to
make some stay in the new capital of Italy.
A letter from Padua states that, owing to the
students having publicly burned the Encyclical, the prelate,
Mgr. Panella, resigned his post as rector of the University;
but his resignation has not been accepted.
A singular accident occurred three days back to
the mail diligence which runs between Liege and Arlon.
The vehicle had arrived at Bosson, and the horses had been
taken out to change, when a storm, which was raging at
the time, set it in motion and drove it backwards down the
hill which it had just before ascended. The vehicle ran
alone for about a hundred yards, and then upset into a ditch
at the side of the road. Fortunately, only one passenger,
a young man, was inside, and he escaped uninjured.
