LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT Of' KING'S BENCH, MAT 30.
waTsow v. CLEMENT.
This was an action by Mr. Watson, a linen-draper, residing
at the corner of Surrey-street, Strand, against Mr. Clement, the
proprietor and publisher of the Morning Chronicle, for a nui-
sance in working the steam-engine, by the operation of which
the presses are kept in action The plaintiff's case was eon-
dncted by Mr. Gurney and Mr. Comyn ; the defendant's by the
Attorney-General, Mr. Scarlett, Mr. Demnan,,M r. Brougham,
and Mr. Platt.
Mr. GURNEY, in opening the case, said the Jury would
judge of the steam-engine by the number and strength of the
Counsel required to work it ; it was a six-horse power at the
very least.—( A laugh.)
Mr. BROVC3II•II.—A six-wig power if you please.—(A
laugh.)
On the part of the plaintiff, 17 witnesses were called, some of
whom had been in the habit of frequenting Mr. 'Watson's
house, and others who lived in adjoining houses, who represented
the engine as producing considerable vibration and noise ; and
one witness described it as producing; smoke. The time when,
according to the representation of rhe witnesses, the evil was
most felt, was from two to five o'clock in the morning ; but
commenced earlier an Saturday evening, when the Obiervet-
, was printed.
For the defendant, Mr. Ilensley, who superintended the erec.
tion of the engine; Mr. Harrison, the carpenter who put it
up; and Mr. Lloyd, the engineer who constructed it—were
called, who represented it as contrived to produce as little an-
noyance as possible. It was placed on the basement story, to
obviate inconveniences which were felt from its occupying a
higher position ; it was framed to consume its own smoke; and
it worked off' by one press twelve hundred, 7ind by another
1,800 papers in an hour, whereas a common press could only
work oft' from 300 to 400. Mr. Goodwyn, the publisher of the
papers, and Mr. Burford, of the Panorama, also described the
engine as producing no annoyance worthy of mention.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE left the jury to decide on the
balance of testimony, whether the plaintiff was incommoded
and annoyed in the enjoyment of his house by the defendant's
engine.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintifF—Dam3ges 601.

111114ANI: A CT.-A few days ago, as an Officer
of the Rocket corps, now stationed in the barracks, at Man-
chester, was taking his morning ride, hi, attention was attracted
by the cries of distress, and he instantly repaired to the spot,
where he found a lad had risque(' his life to nave that of a child
who had fallen into a deep pit, and who had so far succeeded
as to be able to get hold of a pole which stood erect ; but not
being able to swim, he had become nearly exhausted, and was
almost sinking when the gallant Officer, regardless of his own
safety, plunged in and saved both, to the inexpressible grati-
tude of the parents and satisfaction of all the by-standers.
