RANTED.-WALKER V. WILSON.

His Honour—Was the superintendent dismissed ?

Mr. Buchanan—No.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
GIVING THE LIE TO A SERVANT.-AN ASSAULT NOT WAR-

This was an action to recover wages actually earned and
wages in lieu of notice, plaintiff alleging that he had been
improperly dismissed; Mr. Buchanan, for the defendant,
pleading a justification.
Plaintiff stated that he had a few words with the super-
intendent of the department in which he worked, and,
after some disputing, the superintendent told plaintiff that
he was a liar. Upon this plaintiff struck him a blow in the
face, and for this blow he was dismissed summarily.
Mr. Buchanan—You admit that you struck the super-
intendent ?

Plaintiff—l did hit him when ho said I tOld a lie, but I
only hit him with my hand.
Mr. Buchanan called Mr. Thane, the superintendent,
who deposed that he had a dispute with plaintiff in refe-
rence to some work. Plaintiff was referred to the books
as to the correctness of the statement of the work done.
Plaintiff averred that the books were all wrong, when wit-
ness replied that it was a lie to say the books were wrong.

Plaintiff—The books were never mentioned. He said I
was a liar, and I did hit him with my open hand.
Mr. Buchanan—And for that assault your dismissal fol-
lowed.

His Honour—Then I cannot see the justice of dismiss-
ing the plaintiff. So far as lam concerned, lam bound to
say that the plaintiff cannot recover his claim ; but I do
think that the word used was most unjustifiable. It is a
word that should never be used by one man to another,
and really I cannot blame a man for resenting such an in-
sult. Strong language is always to be deprecated, but
upon the defence I must find for the defendant, though I
think the superintendent ought to be dismissed.
Verdict for the defendant.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

A CONJUROR CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.—Henry Kye,
describing himself as a " conjuror," but refused his address,
was charged before Mr. Mansfield with stealing a gold
watch, of the value of £lO, from the person of Mr. William
Sanders, rag merchant, No. 51, Carnaby-street.
The prosecutor said he was at Mr. Cook's, the St.
James's Luncheon Bar, Windmill-street, about one that
morning, the prisoner being close to him. Feeling his
waistcoat move, he looked down and saw his watch chain
hanging loose. He at once concluded the prisoner had
taken his watch, which was of the value of £lO, and charged
him with taking it, when he dropped it. He then followed
the prisoner out of the house, and gave him into custody.
In answer to Mr. Mansfield, the prosecutor said the watch
was broken at the swivel.

The prisoner said he was a "conjuror" and "did
tricks." (Laughter.) He was not sober, nor was the pro-
secutor, who had some girls with him. He believed the
prosecutor wanted to get his watch, but he was too sharp,
and that then some one else took the prosecutor's.

Munday, 78 C, said both parties were far from sober.
The prisoner said that all the police knew him, or ought
to do, and he hoped his " lordship" would allow him to go
with the constable and show him where he lived, as he
had forgotten the address.

A SINGULAR CHARGE OF DRUNKENNESS.—Catharine
Cortes, residing at 17, Market-street, Fitzroy-square, was
charged with being drunk and disorderly.
It appears that yesterday afternoon the sergeant went to
Foley-street, where her husband is at present at work as a
labourer upon a house that is being rebuilt. She had a few
words with her husband, who, to get away from her, ran
up the ladder to the top of the house. Determined not to
be foiled, the defendant rushed up the ladder after her
husband, and succeeded in getting to the top ; but the
drink she had taken overcame her, and she was unable to
descend. A constable then went into the next house, and
succeeded in dragging her through a window, and, with
assistance, carried her down stairs and to the police station.
Mr. Mansfield fined her ss.
