LA W---THIS DAY,

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr and a Jury.)

A CURIOUS AND IMPORTANT QUESTION AS TO LIABILITY
OF BARRISTERS AND SOLICITORS,-EDWARDS V PIG-
GOTT, M.P., POUNDS, AND WALKER.
This was an action brought to recover damages for
alleged negligence, and the facts are remarkable. The
plaintiff, it appears, is a discharged soldier, and for some
reason his pension was stopped, which led to his publishing
gr3ss libels on. her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and other
illustrious individuals, for which he was sentenced to 12
months' imprisonment; he then consulted two solicitors,
sent a brief and fee to Mr. Sergeant Piggott, but the
attorneys abandoned the case, and Mr. Sergeant Piggott
1 refused to entertain the matter, and the plaintiff had notice
that be might receive back the brief and the fee; but he
would not do so, but preferred taking the present proceed-
ings. A bundle of the most scurrilous addresses were dis-
tributed in court. In one he called upon Lord Palmerston
to interfere, and send down his well-paid lawyers to watch
the case, and at the bottom of one were an alleged reply—
" You may refer to me—Palmerston."
Mr. Biron appeared for Mr. Sergeant Piggott, and Mr.
W. B. Davies for the other defendants.
The jury having been called,
Mr. Davies said that before the jury was sworn he wished
to take an objection to the jurisdiction; but as, in the first
instance, he should rely on the point that Sergeant Piggott
could not be sued in this court, the learned counsel would
perhaps take the lead.
Mr. Biron said he appeared for the learned sergeant, but
did not wish to take any technical objection, and was ready
to go into the case on its merits. The learned sergeant had
really nothing to do with the matter, and the plaintiff could
have his brief then, if he chose.
Mr. Davies objected to Ulla, as it would be unfair to the
other defendants. The whole case ought to be heard. He
(Mr. Davies) would therefore now object that one of the
defendants, Mr. Sergeant Piggott, did not reside or carry
on trade or business within the city of London.
His Honour said he was described as of the Temple, and
that was within the jurisdiction.

Mr. Davies—Yea, but the defendant does not reside there
or carry on business. His is an honourable profession.
He cannot recover a fee, nor can he be sued if he hand brief
and fee to another.

His Honour—Then you would object to a physician or a
clergyman in holy orders going to his parish.
Mr. Davies—Yes, I should.

very nice case, and took him by
His Honour said it was a
surprise. The case was adjourned; and his Honour now
said he would reserve his opinion. The jury was dismissed
without having been sworn.

Mr. Selfe—Have you found the knife?

MARKETS-THIS DAY.

COVENT GARDEN.

railings into Limehouse Churchyard • She was overtaken
and secured. Jasper has received a very bad wound and
lost a good deal of blood.

Abbott, a police-constable, No. 322 K, said the prisoner
in mere wantonness struck another sailor with a quart pot
and cut his head open.
Mr. Selfe—Where is he.

Abbott—He went away in his ship with his head bound
up this morning.

Abbott—No, sir. I made search for it this morning in
Limehouae Church-yard. The grass is very long there
indeed, and I could not find it.

Mr.Selfe—l shall remand the prisoner. [Do you know
her ?

Abbott—Yes, sir. She is a most disorderly and in-
famous Woman, and violent as well. The man Jasper is
going away in his ship this afternoon.
Mr. Selfe—l don't care about that. The prisoner shall
not escape punishment if I can help it. There is no occa-
sion for the seaman to attend again. The prisoner is re-
manded until Thursday next.

The supply of produce is seasonably extensive. Gene-
really speaking, the demand rules inactive at about previous
rates.
