DAY V. BOUNING.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

A gentleman entered the office with a pretty little lady
spaniel under his arm, which had just been claimed by a
dog fancier named Jones.
The gentleman stated that he purchased the animal
about a twelvemonth back, from a dog dealer in Westmin-
ster, and as he had reared her from puppyhood to dog's
estate, he was certain the present claimant, had made a
mistake. _ _

In this case application was made for a rule to show
cause why an award which had been made out should not
subside. It appeared that a writ had issued, claiming W. ss.
for debt, and that before declaration a proposal had been
made to refer the cause, and all matters of difference be-
twcon the parties, to arbitration. A Judge's order was
obtained, and the arbitrator had made his award ; which
directed the defendant well and truly to pay to the plaintiff
the sum of 11/. ss. in full of all demands connected with
the cause, and adjudged that all further proceedings should
thenceforth cease. The form of the award was objected to.
—Rule refused.

EXCHEQUER COURT, WEDNESDAY

MORGAN V. LEAWARDS.

Jones—Vy, your Vership, I bred her myself, and in
sitch a case I should think I ought to know summut about
the hanimal. The hinstant moment I seed her I knowd
her by her marks. She's got werry long black ears and a
werry handsome tail, vich anybody can see.
Magistrate—Have you any private marks by which you
can recognise the dog ? Jones—She's got a slit on the in-
nerd part of von of her ears, vich I pinted out to the gem-
man ven I hindemnified her.

This, it will be recollected, was an infringement of patent,
tried at the sittings after last term in the Guildhall, before
Mr. Baron ALDERSON, when some of the issues were found
in favour of the defendant. The defence set up was, that
plaintiff's invention was neither novel nor useful, and ob-
jections were taken to the specification as not disclosing
with sufficient certainty the mode by which the operations
were to be performed. The Jury found for the defendant
on the issues as to the defectiveness of the specification and
the non-utility of the steam-engine ; and for the plaintiff as
to the novelty and utility of the method of propelling ves-
sels by the improved paddle-wheels. Other formal issues
wore also found.
Sir F. POLLOCK, pursuant to leave given at the trial, ap-
plied to the Court this day for a rule, calling on the de-
fendant to show cause why a verdict should not be entered
for the plaintiff upon these issues, and also why judgment
should not be entered for the plaintiff upon the third issue,
non obstanto vercdicto.—Rule granted.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on behalf of the defendant,
then applied for a rule on the issues relating to the objec-
tions as to the insufficiency of the specification, the verdict
returned for the plaintiff upon them being contrary to the
evidence.—Rule granted.

INSOLVENT COURT-WEDNESDAY

Gentleman—l cut her ear myself to cure her of fits, and
that I am ready to swear.
Jones—And I'll swear that ere banimal vos in my cus-
tody six months ago.
Gentleman—l lost her about that time, and was obliged
to offer a reward of a sovereign before I could get her again.
Jones—You'd swear the werry clothes off a man's back—
but my character is too yell known to vont any inwestigation.
Officer—You know it is not an uncommon thing for dog
dealers to get some person to sell a dog, and then afterwards
come forward and claim the dog as having been stolen.
Jones—l have heard of sitch a thing, but my mind is too
honourable for that ere.

Officer—But you've been tried for something of the sort.
Jones—Only vonce, and that vos a werry long while ago.
The new claimant not having convinced theßench that he
was rightfully entitled to the possession of the dog, the gen-
tleman was allowed to retain the animal.

Dr. Michael Ryan, the physician, proprietor and editor
of the " London Medical and Surgical Journal," late of
Great Queen-street, Westminster, applied to be discharged.
He was opposed by Mr. WOODROFFE on the part of Mr.
G. Henderson, bookseller and publisher, Old Bailey ; and
supported by Mr. COOKE.
The Doctor underwent a lengthened examination. He
had formerly practised in Dublin with considerable success.
He left Ireland in 1828, and came to England on the re-
commendation of a physician, who stated that a professional
man would succeed, provided he had property " to keep his
head above water." At that time he had landed property
of 1501. a-year. He now ascribed his insolvency to being
involved with Mr. Henderson in publishing the " London
Medical and Surgical Journal."
The case was adjourned sine die. It excited much in-
terest, the Court being crowded with members of the pro-
fession. The case lasted from the sitting of the Court till
six o'clock in the evening.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday Hannah Mitchell, a well-attired pretty look-
ing female, about twenty-six years of age, was brought
before Mr. ROGERS, in the custody of a police constable of
the G division, charged by William Golding, the driver of
the cabriolet No. 547, with being drunk, and refusing to
pay him 165., his fare.
The complainant being sworn, stated that on Tuesday
night, about seven o'clock, the prisoner called him off the
stand near Crown-street, Westminster, and, getting into
his cab, ordered him to drive her to a surgeon's shop in
Oxford-street. She afterwards directed him to drive her
to Tottenham-court•road and other places, and conversed
with him on the road, had drops of something to drink, and
conducted herself in a very eccentric manner during a pe-
riod of upwards of twelve hours, when she ordered him to
drive her to the County Court of Requests, in Castle-
street, Leicester-square ; but witness considering it time to
request payment he did so, but she refused him, and he
drove her to Rosamond-street station-house, and gave her
into custody.
Mr. ROGERS asked her why she refused to pay the man?
Prisoner (with hauteur)—lndeed I do not refuse to pay
him. I hired his vehicle, and am agreeable to pay him ;
but I have not got the money at present. I ordered him
to take me to the County Court, where I was to receive
11. 125., and I have got the bill in my possession, which I
can show you.
Mr. Roexas—Unless you soon pay the money you are
committed to the House of Correction for fourteen days.
Prisoner (smiling)—Then I must go ; but I suppose I may
send for the money.
Mr. ROGERS inquired who she was, and where she lived ?
Prisoner (with an air of affected dignity)—l am in the mu-
sical world. I reside in Crown-street, Westminster.
She was then locked up and requested pee, ink and
paper.
Waddington, the gaoler, here stated that he had no

LEICESTER, Nov. 1.
The Municipal election in this borough has made ne
al-
teration in the strength of the respective parties in th,
council. Two Tories went out of office this year ; and 01
the fourteen councillors elected this day, two only 108
Tories. The council, therefore, consists, as before, offift9-
two Liberals, and four Tories. So much for the Standards
prediction of January last, that democratic local govern-
ment would so disgust the public that a reaction would take
place, and the cause of Toryism would be benefited by the
municipal Reform Act ! The state of the poll, as aster'
tained by the aldermen and assessors of the various wards,
as follows, the successful candidates being Liberals in every
instance, with the exception of St. Martin's :

OXFORD, Nor. 1.
The result of the Municipal Elections of this day ha:
been most favourable to the Liberal party. There Omits'
twelve vacancies in the Town Council, which have he
supplied by ten Reformers, one Conservative, and %%-
Ultra-Tory. It is supposed that the latter will not 0';

in whose place he was elected is disqualified. There Is rilr
doubt that one, if not both, the present Tory Members la

indeed, Mr. Hughes's friends are now beginning see

formed the duties of his office most creditably, and TO' -

council, to return one of their nominees for the office
aj-
Mayor on the 9th inst. ; but from the lessons they have 3
ready received, added to the result of this day's eleetio%_ls
is generally believed that they will forego their intent of
on this occasion, and thus prove that the best part of V
is discretion.
