SJIERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)

SERVANTGALISM EXTRAORDINARY.-AXFON V. BEADEL.

This was an action to recover wages actually earned,
and one month's wages in lieu of the customary notice,
plaintiff being a domestic cook, and defendant the well
known auctioneer, of 25, Gresham-street, and Romford.
Plaintiff detailed the list of her grievances, and deposed
that upon a certain night defendant had a dinner at his
country house at Romford, and after the dinner was all
over Mrs. Beadel gave plaintiff a little drop of gin, which
slightly excited her. Mr. Beadel came down into the
kitchen, took plaintiff by the wrists, and removed her with
much force from the house. He hurt her very much, in-
deed, and she had done nothing to provoke him.
His Honour asked Mr. Beadel if he would like to explain
the matter ?

Mr. Beadel—Certainly, sir. I may state the conduct of
the plaintiff exceeded anything I had ever previously wit-
nessed. It is quite true that we had a dinner party on the
night in question, and all passed off very well until half-
past 11, when the cook refused to go to bed. (Laughter.)
My wifo reasoned with her, but in vain, and although
her fellow-servants had retired to rest, she most
determinedly declined to follow their example. I went
down and reasoned with her, but she said she meant to en-
joy herself. (Renewed laughter.) I gave her till 12 o'clock,
and then her conduct became so outrageous that I took her
by the wrists and made her go with me to the nearest
police station, where, she being intoxicated, I left her in
charge, handing her half a sovereign to get her a bed in
some respectable place.
His Honour—Then she was intoxicated?
_ _ _

Plaintiff—She was indeed. Sho asked me if I had ever
heard anybody scream—(great laughter)—and she said that
she once screamed " Murder" in Romford Park till she was
heard a mile off. (Renewed laughter.) I had no wish to
have a specimen of her powers at my house, but she
threatened to give me one.
Plaintiff—The missis gave me a drop of gin.
His Honour—That would not have affected you in the
way described.
Defendant—She lit three lamps and six candles, and
insisted on having them all burning at the same time.
(Great laughter.) Under all the circumstances I did what
I considered right and proper. I gave her 10s., and have
paid 7s. into court, that being more than the wages actu-
ally earned.
His Honour—You have done more than you need have
done.

Plaintiff—And he gave the policeman a glass of gin.
Defendant—He had some trouble with you. You came
to my office' about two days after the affair, and wanted to
show me then how youcould scream out "murder," saying
you were always good for half a mile. (Laughter.) I was
obliged to tell one of my clerks to show her down stairs.
Plaintiff—He said he would be master over everybody.
Defendant—ln the excitement of the moment perhaps I
said I must be master in my own house.
His Honour—And very naturally. I think plaintiff has
acted with great forbearance, and he is fully entitled to
the verdict in this case. Verdict for plaintiff, who declined
to accept any costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROTJGJI-STREET.

STEALING A JEWELLED VINAIGRETTE.—WiIIiam West, a
young man described as a painter, living in East-street,
Manchester-square, was charged before Mr. Yardley with
stealing an antique gold and jewelled vinaigrette, the pro-
perty of Colonel Francis Mountjoy Martyn, of 33, Ber-
keley-square.
Caroline Baldwin, servant to Mr. William Swindell, of
the Tottenham-court-road, said that yesterday afternoon
the prisoner showed her the vinaigrette, stating that he
had picked it up in Portman-square. lie said he did not
know whether it was gold, and asked her to take it to a
shop and see, and she did so, when the person detained her
and took her to the police-station, where she stated how it
came into her possession.
Caroline Galsworthy, lady's maid in the family of Col.
Mountjoy Martyn, deposed that on Tuesday she replaced
the vinaigrette on a table in the drawing-room after it had
been cleaned by a person from Messrs. Storr and Morti-
mer's. Yesterday the: prisoner was engaged at the house
in replacing the window blinds.
Wm. Penton, assistant to Mr. Lawley, pawnbroker, of
South-street, Manchester-squarc, said that on the vinai-
grette being presented to him by the first witness he ques-
tioned her, and then took her to the police station. The
value of the vinaigrette was £lO, but it cost a great deal

more.

Police-constable George King, 76 D, a plain-clothes
officer, said the prisoner told him that he found the vinai-
grette opposite the door of a house in Danes-street, and on
asking him where he had been at work, he said at 19, Ber-
keley-square. He (King) then made inquiries, and after-
wards apprehended the prisoner, when he again denied
stealing the article.
Having been cautioned by Mr. Yardley, the prisoner said
that all he bad to say was that he found the vinaigrette on
the street.
Mr. Yardley committed him for trial.
