LAW-THIS DAY.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
- (Before Mr. Registrar Roche.)
IN RE JONES.
This bankrupt was a hosier, at Tottenham, and this was
a meeting for choice of assignees.

Mr. T. Beard appeared for the petitioner, and put in a
list of creditors who had proved their debts, and proposed a
Mr. King, warehouseman, in the City, but a counter pro-
position was made by a widow lady, who proved her debt
by power of attorney, and was not in attendance.
Mr. Beard objected, and said the trade creditors wished
for a trade assignee, and not an old lady of 75.
The learned Registrar said that was not desirable, but he
suggested there should be a joint assigneeship.
Mr. Beard said that would be worse still; some very
ant'quated notions might be brought forward not at all con-
sist out with present views.

The Registrar said he could not decide ; tke question was
one for the Commissioner, and he should adjourn the choice
till the last examination.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
IN RE MORGAN.

This bankrupt was described as of Peppin's. court, Fleet-
stt ret, dairyman, and this was a meeting for last exami-
nation.

/sir. Beard opposed, on the ground that the bankrupt had
unfairly got rid of his property. _ _

His Honour said that if persons would denude themselves
of all their property before they came to this Court they
must take the consequences. The case would be adjourned.
Bankrupt would be allowed to come up at his own expense,
or the petition would be dismissed.

SECONDARIES' COURT.
(Before Mr. Potter and a Common Jury.)

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF TRESPASS AND EJECTMENT.
-DAMAGES £150.-PAWSON Y. SMITH.

This was a writ of inquiry sent down from the Court of
Common Pleas to assess the damages laid at £l,OOO under
circumstances detailed as under by the learned counsel for
the plaintiff.

Mr. Griffiths, for the plaintiff, said that there were in
the south side of St. Paul's Churchyard, some very exten-
sive premises known as St. Paul's Hotel, and it was in
reference to those premises that the present proceedings
arose. Mr. Pawson obtained a lease from the Dean and
Chapter of St. Paul's for a period of 21 years, and he found
that under a former lessee there was a sub-lessee, who
again let to the defendant, then in possession and carrying
on the hotel. When plaintiff made known to defendant
that he had become lessee of the premises, defendant's term
had nearly expired, but ho begged plaintiff would allow him
to remain for a short time longer. This was permitted, and
defendant offered plaintiff £2Ol to be allowed to remain
for three months more. Plaintiff granted this request, and
defendant continued in occupation ; but upon a certain day
defendant wrote to plaintiff that, acting under the advice of
his solicitor, he declined to come to any terms with plaintiff,
who had said defendant had no right or title to the premises.
Under these circumstances plaintiff sued out a suit of eject-
ment, which defendant opposed, but unsuccessfully, before
a judge, and the trial was ordered for hearing, when sud-
denly defendant turned round and admitted the wrong. He
(the learned counsel) pointed out the expense to which
plaintiff had been put, and urged the loss sustained by
plaintiff, as defendant not Qnly refused to quit the hotel,
but actually shut it up, and to this day plaintiff had been
unable to git a tenant.
Mr. Needham, for defendant, consulted with his client,
and the result was a verdict for £l5O.

POLICE---THIS DAY.

BOW-STREET, THIS DAY.

THROWING BOILING WATER OVER A BOY.—James
Williams, who keeps a coffeeshop in the neighbourhood of
the Seven Dials, was charged with throwing a quantity of
boiling water over Charles Creasy, a boy about 12 years cf
age.
The boy Creasy said—The saucepan was on the fire in
Williams's back room, and I was in the passage. He had
been quarrelling with my mother, and I had taken her part
during the row. I saw him take up the saucepan, and I
ran away, but he followed and threw the hot water alter
me. It scalded the back of my head.
Mr. Abrams, the solicitor, who attended for the prisoner,
asked the witness whether his mother was not living with
Williams as his wife?
The witness replied she had done so for five or six years.

Mr. Abrams—Did you MO your mother throw a bottle at
the prisoner.
Witness—No; I didn't.
Mr. Abrams—Did he throw the water at you, or at her P
Witness—He took up the saucepan to throw the water
at her, but she got out of the way, and then he threw it at
me.

Mr. Henry -It would not alter the case if it were so;
the law is that if he threw it at her, and it missed, and went.
over the boy, that would be an assault.
Mr. Abrams—l am quite aware of that, but then it makes
a aifference, I submit, in a degree. The mother: of the boy
and the prisoner had been quarrelling, and she bad given
him great provocation. I believe up' to the present time
my client has always treated the lad with kindness. He
is now extremely sorry for what has occurred. I am not
offering theso remarks to your worship as an excuse for
what the prisoner has done,' but I am bound to point out
that the case, bad as it is, does not arise out of a deliberate
attack on the child who had given no provocation.
The mother of the boy contradicted many of the state-
ments put forth on the part of the prisoner. His conduct
to her had been very bad, and she should have left him long
ago, but being without money she was compelled to remain
with him. She had pawned all her clothing at the request
of the prisoner, and if she attempted to look after a situa-
tion in the shabby things she now had on, which were all
she had in her possession, sho was certain to one would
employ her. She was willing to leave him at that moment
if he would but give her some money to get clothes with.
Mr. Abrams said, if an arrangement was permitted, the
prisoner as willing to make a provision for the woman
and her son.

Mr. Henry remarked that pity for the poor woman and
her child would induce him to consent to any such arrange-
ment; but he wished it to be distinctly understood that he
was not influenced by any merciful consideration towards
the prisoner, whom, on the contrary, he had determined to
send to prison without the option of a fine if he did not sa
tisfy the mother and her boy. He looked upon the assault
as one of a very cruel nature. The poor fellow's bandaged
head and scarred face showed that he had suffered very
severely.
Mr. Abrams--The scars on the boy's face arose from
other causes—certainly not from hot water.
Mr. Henry—Well, if the prisoner knew that, that was an
additional reason why he should not have thrown the water
over him.

The parties then retired, and after a short absence, Mr.
Abrams said he would agree that the prisoner should be
bound over for six months to keep the peace towards the
complainant and her son—that he would provide the furni-
ture and clothing according to the list drawn up by her—
and that he would pay to the party appointed by her to re-
ceive it the sum of 10s. Gd. per week for their support.
Mr. Henry said he would reserve his judgment for three
months. During that time he would take care to be well
informed as to huw the prisoner performed his part of the
contract; but of this he might rest perfectly satisfied, that
if he omitted his payments, or in any way annoyed the poor
woman, he would send him to prison without the liberty of
paying a fine.
