COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
(ISittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall, before Lord Chief
Justice WILDE and a Common Jury.)
STANSFIELD AND OTHERS V. LEMAN.
This is an action of trover, brought by the assignees
of a bankrupt named Thomas, to recover the possession
of his books of account, which are retained by the de-
fendant, who claims a right to them on the ground of
having been i❑ partnership with the bankrupt Thomas.
The case, which does not possess the slightest public
.interest, was part heard on Saturday and not finished
:to-day when we went to press.

WARLBRO'-STREET—( THIS DAY.)
John Harding and William B urrowes ro brought
before Mr. Bingham, charged with having been found
in the Ranger's Paddock, Hyde-park, under suspicious
circumstances.

Charles Griffiths, a watchman, in the employ of the
Royal Humane Society, stated that on Saturday night,
about eight o'clock, he observed the two prisoners lurk-
ing about that portion of the park adjoining the resi-
dences of Mr. Stephenson, the superintendent of the
park keepers, and Mr. Banbury, the Lead park keeper.
lie watched them fur some time, w heu he saw the
prisoner Harding get over the fence, followed by the
prisoner Burrowes. Witness suspecting that they were
after stealing the wild fowl, ran to the fence and called
out to them. Not answering, he jumped over the fence
and searched about the paddock. After look-
ing about for some time, he saw the pri-
soners attempting to conceal themselves in the
:hollow trunk of a tree. Witness asked them
-what they were doing there ? The prisoner
:1-larding then said, that he was looking after a young
:parrot, which he had seen fly into one of the trees.
liritness then collared them, and gave them into the cus-
tody of Hanbury, the head park-keeper.
Banbury stated that his garden adjoined the Ranger's
Paddock. In consequence of a great number of wild
;fowl and their eggs having been stolen from ate latter
place, he requested the last witness to keep an eye upon
yell persons seen near the spot. The prisoners had been
iseen lurking about fur several nights previous to their
'being given into his custody on Saturday night. Witness
%added that the fence was six feet high, surmounted with
:iron spikes, and the prisoners must have had consider-
table difficulty in getting over.
The prisoners, who made a most rambling dafenee,
'were committed to the (louse of Correction for one
tmontL, with hard labour.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Joseph Fisher, of Woodside, Hatfield, a drovAr, was
charged before Mr. Combos with cruelty to a bullock.
]:t appeared that on Saturday the prisoner and two other
alien were employed to drive a drove of oxen from the
Tottenham station to a lay farm at Hornsey. In the
;green lane; a fine " three-year-old steer," over fatigued
om the journey, fell down. The prisoner and the
toCher men resorted to a new means of torture to force
itt e poor brute to its legs. One of them held the tail out
tight to its full length, whilst the two others, holding a
stick of ground ash, one by each end, moved across as
hard and as quick as they could along under the ex-
'Landed tail.
Sergeant Judd, 44 N, declared that he never saw an
;animal seem to suffer more under any punishment. It
'writhed and quivered, and made a most piteous noise.
"rt,is officer interfered as soon as he could get up to the
group, and took the prisoner into custody. The beast's
lull was broken in three places. The under aide was
iquite stript of the hair and skin, and was covered with
'Wood.
The Magistrate, having severely reproved the drover
for his cruelty, sentenced him to pay a fine of 405., or be
imprisoned for fourtEen days, with hard labour.
