LAW INTELLIGENCE. •
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, June 13.
SPEAR V. WARD.
This was an action to recover 951. 10s. for work and
labour done by the plaintiff, a civil engineer, for the
Warwick and Worcester Railway Company, of which
the defendant, who is ihe late member for Sheffeld, and
theh
aaimpresentraCnh. Chief Commissioner of the lonian Islands,
was
Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and another barrister, appeared
for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Bram-
well were for the defendant.
Several witnesses were called to support the plaintiff's
case, and among others,
Mr. Cole, a surveyor, who, in the course of his evi-
dence, stated that he had brought an action against one
of the members of the Provisional Committee of the
Warwick and Worcester Railway Company, in which
action he had recovered 501., of which Mr. Ged4Y, a clerk
to Messrs. Elmslie and Preston, who are concerned for
the defendant, had received 51. pursuant to agreement.
Shortly after this evidence had, been given,
Mr. Cole came into. Court and said that he bad been
struck by Mr. Geddy,
The CHIEF JUSTICE directed that he should be sworn,
and asked him what he had to say?
Mr. Cole—l was going out of court when the counsel
for the defendant was going to speak, and Mr. Geddy
was outside, and I said to him the 5/. won't do now,
Mr. Geddy, and he then struck me and my hat fell off.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—What do you mean by
saying the 5/. won't do? Mr. Cole—When I recovered
50/. he, had 51. out of it. He was clerk to Messrs;
Elmslie and Preston, who were concerned Dr the com-
pany, and witness agreed to give him 201. per cent. if 'he
coul4 get the whole of witness's claim allowed.
The CHIEF JUSTICE then inquired.of, -Mr: Geddy
what he had to say in the matter? Mr. Geddy said
that the complainant had committed an offence which he
(Mr. Geddy) ought to have taken instant cognizance of,
and asked for the protection of his Lordship. He was
standing outside the court when Mr. Cole said to him,
" I have done for you and the 51." He made answer,
and said, " But I shall go into the witness-boa you will
find;" when Cole said, " You dare not." He (Mr. Geddy)
said, " You recollect pretty well how you were aerved at the
County Court when the Judge ordered you out of Court.
Mr. Cole instantly said, " You're a liar;" and ran up the
steps and endeavoured to make an assault upon him, and
kicked at his legs, on which he (Mr. Geddy) endeavoured
to defend himself, but instantly recollecting that he would
be committing an offence against his Lordship and that
Hon. Court, he refrained, arid left bim to pursue his way.
Not being satisfied with this, he came back again and
braved him, and tried to make him strike him, that he
might have something like a case, but he (Mr. Geddy)
refrained from doing anything further. There were
two or three gentlemen present when this occurred. and
he instantly came into court and mentioned the matter
to Mr. Bramwell, and wished him to ask for the protec•
lion of the Court.

Mr. Merrick Burcham, an attorney, who witnessed
the affair, was then sworn, by the direction of his Lord-
ship, and stated that he was standing outside the door
of the court when Mr. Cole came out, and said, " Mr.
Geddy, I have done for you about the 51. swindle."
Geddy said, "I shall get into the box presently." Wit-
ness did not pay particular attention to what passed, but
Mr. Geddy asked Mr. Cole about something that passed
in the County Court, when the Judge ordered him out of
the court for stating that which was not the fact.
Shortly after this Cole came up to Geddy, who struck
him, and then Cole Kicked Geddy, and there was an end
of it.

Three other witnesses were called who ;gave similar
testimony, after which
The CHIEF JUSTICE asked Mr. Cole if he had any
thing to say ? Mr. Cole said, Yes; Mr. Geddy had al-
wa) s had a ;` bickering" against him.
The CHIEF JUSTICE—Never mind that ; we want to
know what passed out of Court.
Mr. Cole—l think it was done for the purpose of pre-
venting me giving evidence in the case of Sir John
M'Neai v. Ward.
The CHIEF JUSTICE—Do you wish to say anything,
Mr. Geddy Mr. Geddj—What bad been stated was
very untrue. He was taken by surprise, and he thought
that Mr. Cole's hat was knocked off in consequence o►
his rushing at him. He had called several witnesses,
who had given their evidence, and he claimed at his
Lordship's hands that justice which his Lordship always
gave.
The CHIEF JUSTICE said, they had both committed
an outrage agi,inst the Court, in gross contempt of the
Court, of a character which must tend very much to
disturb the administration of justice, and degrade the
Court. Witnesses should be told that they were not to
make that place a scene for quarrelliag, much less during
the time of a trial. Mr. Cole had gone up to Mr. Geddy,
and alter reproaching him with what had occurred at a
former trial, had called him a liar. Such conduct as
that could not be palliated or justified, and no man bad
a mot to act in sac. s, tie snould, therefore,
fine Mr. Cole 5/. He also regretted to say that Mr.
Geddy had likewise committed a contempt of the
Court, and therefore be fined him 2L for the blow that
he had struck.

Mr. Bergeatit BYLES then addressed the jury for the
defendant, and called witnesses with the view of chow-
ing that the plaintiff had not been employed.
While the jury were about considering their verdict—
Mr. Cole addressed his Lordship, and said that he re-
grev,ed what had occurred. He had no desire to act i❑
contempt of the Court, and hoped the penalty would not
be enforced.

The CHIEF JUSTICE said nothing could be more im-
pr,•per than what had taken place, and it' such conduct
were not punished the Court would have every day to
determine cases of this kind, lie doubted whether he
could lessen the fine.

Mr. Cole said he was not prepared to pay the money,
The CHIEF JUSTICE was very sorry for it, but the
dignity of the Court must be upheld. lie, however,
would allow the fine to be estreated, that was, that he
(Mr. Cole) would have time to pay.
Mr. Geddy asked for the same indulgence.
The CHIEF JUSTICE—You have paid your fine. If men
could not restrain themselves they must be punished.
Mr. Geddy said he had received great provocation,
and his Lordship's opinion expressed by the difference
in the amount of the tines was that Cole's conduct was
the worst. It he was sure that the fine would be enforced
against Mr.. Cole he should be satisfied, for he was really
the offending party.
The CHIEF JUSTICE said he might rest satisfied of
that. The tine would be estreated into the Exchequer,
and if not paid process would issue for it.,
The jury, after a short absence from Court, found a
verdict for the plaintiff for -951. 10.
The cause list for the sitting contains 33 remanets
and 43 new cases, and the number of special jury cases
is 29.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 13.
(11,,fore Mr. Commissioner FoNBLANQUE.)
IN RE J. DE MONTE ARBUTHNOT.

The bankrupt:a adjourned application for his certificate
was again supported by Mr. Lewis, and opposed by Mr.
Steele.

After a protracted hearing, in which scarcely a new
argument was advanced,
The Learned C;ONSIISSIONER gave judgment. He said
that this was the most melancholy case that had ever
come before that Court. It.was the case of a young man,
who on coming into the possession of a nandsome fortune,
had more than dishipated it in the course of two years,
by gambling and horse-racing, and the most extravagant
expenditure. His balance. sheet showed .that his losses
by horse-racing alone exceeded 5,0001., and his personal
extravagance was of a similar reckless character. It
appeared that he had Nile:, into exceedingly bad hands.
On one occasion he had lost with two associates—he
would not say accomplices—a sum of 1,0001. in trio
days at the game of- billiards. Anything -more dis-
gusting seldom came before a criminal court, and he
wished .it had been before a criminal court ou the
present occasion, not so much on account of the
bankrupt's part in the transaction, but on account
of the part taken by others. His Honour next pro-
ceeded to state. the, reasons why he considered the case
before him came under the statute of the sth and 6th
Victoria, against
atogainit grant the gambliilgby traders, and that he had
bankrupt his certificate. Wore
there no such law in being, he might seriously call in
question his sight to grant a certificate to a person who
had lost money in the manner the bankrupt bad, as a
person who was again looking to enter upon trade, or a
person into whose hands the money or property of fu-
turewagering, his view of the operation
creditors ought to be perilled. With respect to the
severe penalty which the law imposed upon traders who
it was a wholesome remedy, and

Honour next' referred generally to the statutes 5 and 6

distinctly stated, that the last Act on the subject con-
templated every ease where the chances. of a wager of
