BOROUGH HOP.

Very little business has been transacted in hops since
our last report, and the market to-day is very quiet. There
is no change, however, to notice in the quotations, the
market, as regards prices, being decidedly firm. The im-
port into London last week was 109 bales from Antwerp :
27, Rotterdam ; 25, Bremen ; 38, Gluckstadt ;' 201, Bou-
logne; 56, Ostend; and 278 pockets from Jersey.

LAW INTELLIGENCE,—(Th's Day.)
SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before F. Gibbons, Esq., and a Jury.)
SERIOUS STREET ACCIDENT THROUGH THE STATE OF WHITE-
CHAPEL.-THE LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COMPANY v.
BOOTH.

This was an action to recover £7los. damages, sustained
by the plaintiff in consequence of the alleged negligence of
defendant's servant.

Mr. Beard, on the part of the Company, called witnesses
to prove that upon a certain market-clay in September last,
one of the plaintiff's 'busses was passing on its journey
between eight and nine o'clock in the morning, through
Whitechapel, where the roadway is very much impeded
by the market carts and butchers' stalls. As the 'bus
.arrived at a particular spot, a lad was seen to lead a horse
And cart across the road. lie was called to, but without
Sct, and the driver of the 'bus, who was going between
; and, seven miles an hour, tried to pull up. The lad be-
, pifilk3 alarmed and slipped down, the wheel of the cart pass-
ing over his leg and breaking it. his
'bus was torn out by the iron of the cart.

Mr. Louis Lewis called witnesses for the 4:1( . . ,
show that the 'bus was going at between 110 and 12 wiles
, lacer, _

LH to blame. The lad himself deposed that the plaiatiff's
driver was going at such a rate that he could not pull up.
Mr. Beard addressed the-jury upon all the evidence, and
urged that it was not likely a 'bus could travel at the rate
described through such a crowded thoroughfare as White-
chapel.

His Honour, in summing up to the jury, said that if the
plaintiff's driver had in any way contributed to the acci-
dent by his own negligence, then plaintiff could not re-
cover. If the boy had alone caused the accident, then the
defendant must pay ; but if there were a clear road the lad
had a perfect right to lead out the horse and cart, and
plaintiff's driver was bound jo wait. If both sides had
been guilty of negligence, then plaintiff quid not recover.
The jury found for the plaintiff, but expressed a hope
that the company would do something for the poor boy.
Mr. Beard said he would lay the recommendation beforo
his directors.
Verdict for the plaintiff.

six gentlemen. He managed to secure the prisoners and
to take them to the station, but the others got away.

had been in the habit of walking Coventry-street, with
other women of their class, for a length of time. •
