SHERIFFS' COURT—March 3.

(Before Mr. Wm. Burohell.)
INCE V. CUXON.

The plaintiff in this action is a surgeon, carrying on
practice in Grosvenor-place, Pimlico, and sought to
recover the sum of 15/. 18s. 6d., for professional services
rendered.

• Plaintiff was called, and stated that in January, 1847,
he was called upon to attend a lady, describing herself
as Mrs. Col. Witherington, residing in Victoria-road.
He could not say who sent for him in the first instance,
but after three or four visits, defendant called, and re-
quested him to attend the lady, and he accompanied him
immediately. He had seen defendant at all hours of the
day when he visited his patient, and he believed at the
time that they were married. He continued his visits
up to March, 1848, at which time his bill amounted to
the sum now claimed.

The defendant, who resides at Shripnell, Shrop-
shire, was called to rebut the plaintiff's evidence.
He swore that he was acquainted with Mrs.
Col. Witherington, and was in the frequent habit
of visiting her in the Victoria-road. He never
authorised her to pass under his name, nor did she ever
pass as his wife. He would positively swear that no
improper intimacy ever took place between them, and he
never held her out as his wife to Mr. Ince or any one
else, and never was in her bedroom with her. He called
upon Mr. Ince, at the request of Mrs. Witherington, and
never gave him any instructions as a medical man. He
only called on plaintiff on one occasion, when Mrs.
Witherington had injured one of her eyes.
The Under Sheriff summed up. He said the case was
most serious and important. The plaintiff's evidence
was as plain and distinct as could be, and on the other
hand it was distinctly contradicted by the defendant.
If plaintiff had not spoken the truth, he had committed
gross perjury, and cast an imputation which went to
blast the character of a lady. If plaintiff had spoken
the truth, then defendant must have committed the most
deliberate perjury. The case was a very grave one, and
demanded the fullest consideration of the jury.

—rifle Jury consulted in the box for a Flo 4 time, and
then retired, and after an absence of an hour, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff, for 151. 18s. 6d.

EAST KENT RAIL WA r BILL.

IMPORTANT DECISION—MARGH 3.
The Standing Orders Committee have declared that
the bill may be allowed to proceed, on the condition that
amended plans and sections are deposited by the pro-
moters. The South-Eastern Railway Company were
stated to be the sole opponents of the bill, and the peti-
tions in favour of it were signed by upwards of 9,000 of
the owners and occupiers in the district.

VALUE OF SUBURBAN BUILDING GROUND.—Freehold
ground-rents, amounting to 8451. per annum; were sub-
mitted to auction at the Mart on Tuesday last, by
Messrs. Chinnock and Galsworthy. The greatest com-
petition was manifested throughout the sale, and the
total result proved to be 25,5101., or an average of up-
wards of 30 years' purchase : showing how closely the
value of these securities approach that of the Govern-
ment funds. These rates have been created within the
last five or six years, upon nine acres of land at Bays-
water, which 20 years since was open country, and
might have been purchased at about 2001. per acre, and
which now owing to the rapid spreading of the metro-
polis in this direction, has realised nearly 3,0001. per
acre.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills
are an infallible remedy for Tumours, Swellings, and
Contracted Joints.—Ann Carter, housemaid, residing
with a family in Burton-crescent, had an immense tumour
on her right knee, which increased to such a size that she
could not bend the• joint, and was in consequence obliged
to leave her situation. Her medical attendant informed
her there was no chance of cure, and that it would be
necessary to amputate the limb. This opinion not satis-
fying her, she commenced using Holloway's Ointment
and Pills in good earnest, and, by God's blessing, they
have been the means of effecting a perfect cure, and she
has resumed her former situation.—Sold by all Druggists,
and at Professor Holloway's, 244, Strand.
