SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.)
The Court sat to-day for hearing cases under the
Small Debts Act,. There were 93 cases set down
for hearing, but few of those heard were of any
interest.

The following notice was posted :
" SHERIFFS' COURT, LONDON.
" Take notice, that Courts will be holden for the
purposes of the Act 10th and 11th Vic., 1847, enti-
tuled an Act for the more easy recovery of small debts
and demands within the City of London and the
Liberties thereof, on the following days :—Oct. 26 and
Nov. 4, at Guildhall, and on Nov. 13, 17, and 24;
and Dec. 2, at the Court-house, Guildhall-buildings."
A PERSEVERING LANDLORD-SPENCER V. HIGGINS.
This was an action to recover the sum of 31. 16s.
on the balance of an account for debt.

The plaintiff, upon being examined, proved that
he let apartments to defendant in May, 1846. He
remained in possession till September, but the un-
derstanding was that he was to pay from May
to June W. 165., and then go on quarterly. No
money was paid, and in September he departed with-
out leave or notice. Plaintiff set a man to watch him,
and traced the goods to Garden-row, London Wall,
but before seven o'clock the next morning the goods
had vanished. They were at length discovered at an
auction room, and plaintiff would not part sight with
the defendant till he got 31. 10s. the amount of the
sale, and an order on defendant's solicitor to pay the
rest. The legal gentleman, however, declined
honouring the draft, and, on the contrary, said there
were no visible means of getting any mere. He
(plaintiff) had persevered, and after twelve months
got hold of the defendant again.
Defendant said that plaintiff had offered to fight
for the difference.

The plaintiff denied this, and attributed the chal
lenge to the defendant to'fight it out, which was de
dined.

Defendant said he could not pay.
Plaintiff observed that he ought to be able to pay for
when the apartments were taken defendant said
that his wife was coming out as a singer, and would
make a great sensation.
Defendant admitted that he did expect so at one
time, but circumstances had prevented her corning
out, as some others were great attractions at present.
The plaintiff said defendant filled up his time by
playing at concerts, and also held a good situation.
Mrs. Higgins was also an organist at a chapel.
The Learned JUDGE made at order at 11. per
month.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
TNlawn Smith, one of the persons known among
cabmen as " bucks," was charged before Mr. Henry
with driving a cab without a badge, and without the
consent of the proprietor, and, by carelessness, doing
damage to that and another cab.
It appeared that the prisoner was driving a cab in
the Strand last evening, and ran against another, doing
considerable damage to both. The axle of the one he
was driving was twisted, and the panel of the other
broken in. The damage amounted in one case to 1/.,
in the other to 1/. ss. The proprietors of both cabs
were in attendance.

The driver of the cab on which the prisoner was
found, said that he had left it on the stand while he
went to a coffee-house to get his tea. He asked the
prisoner to " have an eye to it," but did not tell him
to take it off the rank.

The prisoner said the driver bid him take the cab,
with a fare.

Mr. HENRY said it was very improper to leave cabs
unattended, or in charge of such persons as the pri-
soner, who thus had the opportunity of taking them
away if a fare appeared. He would fine him for
driving without a badge 11., or, in default of payment,
sentence him to fourteen days' imprisonment. For
driving without the consent of the proprietor, 21., or,
in default, one month's imprisonment, and order him
to pay for the damage of the two cabs, 11. and 11. Ss.
respectively, or, in default, sentence him to three
weeks' imprisonment for each.
The proprietor of the cab observed that in many
cases the drivers were more to blame than the
" bucks."

THAMES.—(THIS DAY.)
Isaac Gardive, a diminutive urchin, whose head
was scarcely on a level with the dock, was charged
with assaulting police-constable H 1/30.
The constable stated that last night he heard the
most discordant noises proceeding from Rosemary-
lane, Whitechapel, and on going to the spot he found
the prisoner and about twenty other boys, who all had
their faces blackened, and with tin saucepans,
kettles, bones and cleavers, were annoying all the
peaceable inhabitants, and creating a savage noise, the
wedding of a Jew marine store-dealer not very
popular in the neighbourhood. He ordered them to
go home, but the prisoner, with a tin kettle, struck
him on the head, knocking his hat into the gutter,
exclaiming, " Take that, Blue bottle."—(Laughter.)
In answer to the magistrate he said he was not
much hurt, but his bead felt a little soreish.

The prisoner, whimpering, said he didn't see no
harm in having a lark on a weddin'-day. I wasn't
him that struck the policeman. It was a bigger boy.
How could I reach up to a tall policeman's head ?
Mr. YARDLEY said boys must be taught to con-
duct themselves properly. He should fine him as., or
three days' imprisonment.
Locked up in default.

ACCIDENT AT BRADEIELD CHURCH", BERIS.—The
ancient church of this parish, which is now being exten-
sively repaired, and receiving great additions, under the
superintendence of Mr. Scott, the well-known architect,
was the scene of a destructive accident on Sunday
morning, the 10th instant. Between the naive and the
south aisle are three new arches, surmounted by a wall;
these had just been finished, and covered by an oaken
roof, upon which the tiles had not yet been laid. In
consequence, the heavy rains which fell on Saturday
night and Sunday morning last were conducted on to the
rafters between the wall plates. The pressure, acting on
the new and unfinished work, caused the wall to give
way; and with a loud crash it fell, the materials de-
scending and injuring the pulpit. After the conclusion
of Divine service, which has lately been celebrated in
the school-room, assistance was given by the workmen,
who shored up the walls under the wall plates, which
had sunk several feet, and would soon have given way
entirely. Further damage was thus prevented, and we
are glad to learn that although the falling of the wall
and arches will necessarily occasion some delay, the
damage is much less than could have been expected
from such a formidable accident. Had it occurred on
any other day than Sunday, it would probably have oc-
casioned loss of life among the numerous workmen em-
ployed in the building.—Berkshire Chronicle.
WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH.—About eight o'clock
on Wednesday evening, a woman, named Margaret Ross
or Simpson, was found burned to death on the floor of
her own house in Greenside-row. The discovery of this
melancholy accident was first made by her husband. It
is stated by the neighbours that the woman was seen in
an inebriated state a few hours previously; and it is
supposed that, going too close to the fire, her clothes
became ignited, when she became a victim to her own
imprudence.—Scotsman.
