LAW INTELLIGENCE.

The Court adjourned until to-morrow.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 22.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the CHIEF BARON and a
Special Jury.)
HOBSON V. FEARGUS O'CONNOR.

This was an action to recover compensation in da-
mages for literary assistance rendered by the plaintiff in
the character of editor to the Northern Star.

The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted, and
that the plaintiff had neglected his duties.
Sir F. Thesiger (with Mr. Hoggins) conducted the
case for the plaintiff; and Mr. W. H. Watson and Mr.
Prentice appeared for the defendant.
The defendant is well known as being the proprietor
of a weekly paper called the Northern .star. That paper
was, until the latter part of the year 1844, published in
Leeds. The plaintiff formerly was *a bookseller and
printer in Leeds, but eventually became the editor of
tkis newspaper. Towards the latter end of 1844 the de-
fendant, conceiving either that it would be more conve-
nient or more advantageous for the publication to take
place in London, thereupon made arrangements, which
were afterwards carried out, for the removal of the pub-
lication of the paper to London. One of those arrange-
ments of course had reference to the plaintiff as the
editor; and, 'from the evidence, it appeared that the defen-
dant, prior to the removal of the concern, stated, not only
to the plaintiff himself, but to others, that his salary would
be raised to 3121. per annum, or 6/. per week, as a com-
pensation for the loss and inconvenience he might suffer in
consequence of the abandonment of his private business,
and the breaking up of his establishment at Leeds. The
plaintiff, too, was a member of the town-council of Leeds,
anctlike.,,defenclato said he should be at...liberty to go
down to ktteAdJhe meetings of that body. This pri-
vilke the plkintiff 'tiettordingly repeatedly availed him-
.self • of, , but on each occasion (he forwterded leading
articles 4441,4lielopics of the day for insertion, and it
was idmitted by the witnesses that in no instance had
the, publication of the paper been delay eil 'by his ab-
sence. 4 In the month of September, 1845, the defendant
took a stoltr, thrOugh Belgium, with a vielf, as it 'was
stated,..of Making inquiries, not merely into the state ppf
the;potato disease in tbat country, but :lisp- into the
. ,
general position of agricultural Matters. He started On
the 23d of September, and on the 28th of the same
month the plaintiff quitted town for five weeks, during
which time he was attending to an almanac which he
had in preparation. He did not return to town until
two or three days after the defendant, and the conse-
quence was that in a few days the defendant dismissed
him for neglect of duty. The action was therefore
brought for the remainder of the twelve months' salary,
upon the ground that no notice had been given, and
therefore that, as it was a yearly hiring, the plaintiff
was entitled to payment for so much of the year as was
not expired at the period of his dismissal without notice.
A number of gentlemen connected- with the press were
examined, to show that in every case, except where the
engagement was. a " sessional" engagement, when it
Would terminate with the session, or where there was
not a tpecial arrangement to the contrary, the custom
was a yearly hiring, with three or six months', notice, to
expire at the end of the twelve months.

'rho jury eventually found a verdict for the plaintiff,
with damages for 781., or three months' notice.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
SOUTHWARK.

Mary Ann Taylor, late housekeeper in the service of
Mr. Greville, of Hobart-place, Eaton square, was
charged with breaking into that gentlerhan's • house,
and stealing, amongst other articles, a brass bottle.jack
and pair of candlesticks. Another charge was preferred
against the prisoner—that of stealing a large quantity
of sheets, tablecloths, toiletcloths, curtains, and pillow-
cases, the property of Mr. Wright, proprietor of the
Clarepdon Hotel in Bond-street.
Mr. Games attended for the prosecution; a solicitor
also appeared in the behalf of the prisoner.
In the early part of last month the prisoner arrived
from the country at the London-bridge Tavern with
several boxes and hampers. Some days afterwards
she was joined by a man, who represented himself as
her husband, and who stated that he came from
Folkestone in order to receive a sum of money which
was due to him. A few days afterwards a box con-
taining mathematical instruments and clothes was stolen
from the room adjacent to that in which the prisoner
and her husband slept, and a policeman being called
in, the box was found in the room which they
occupied. Both the prisoner and her husband were
taken into custody' on that occasion, but the evidence
against the latter being considered slight he was dis-
charged. Since then, however, other charges of a more
serious nature were preferred against the prisoner, who
it appeared had formerly lived as housekeeper in Mr.
Greville's family, Hobart-place, Eaton-square, from
which situation she was discharged in November last.
On the night of the 27th of April Mr. Greville's house
was broken into and plundered, of, amongst other things,
a bottle-jack and pair of candlesticks; and upon an exa-
mination of the premises it was discovered that an entry
had been effected at the rear through the scullery win-
dow. To connect the prisoner with this offence evi-
dence was brought forward to show that on the night the
house was entered as described, ahe was seen lurking
about Mr. Greville's house from a quarter after nine
o'clock until half-past one o'clock the next morning, the
last-mentioned hour being about the time the entry was
supposed to have been effected. When the prisoner's
boxes were examined at the London-bridge Tavern a
brass bottle jack, and a pair of candlesticks, identified
as having formed part of the property taken from Mr.
Greville's house when it was broken into, were found.

With respect to the other charge against the prisoner,
that of plundering the Clarendon Hotel of an immense
quantity of linen and tablecloths, &c., the discovery
arose in consequence of its having been ascertained that
on her arrival, on a late occasion in town, she for-
warded several boxes, containing property, by railway,
addressed to Mrs. Wallace, to be left at the terminus
until called for. Upon this discovery a policeman pro-
ceeded to Folkestone, and by direction obtained posses-
sion of the boxes and their contents, consisting of table-
napkins, curtains, towels, and various other articles of
that description, which were produced in court on the
present occasion.
Miss Coventry, in reference to this latter charge,
stated that the prisoner had been laundrymaid at the
Clarendon, which situation she filled for upwards of
five years ; that 'she was discharged from it about
twelve months ago, and although much property of
the above description was missed, yet she was not sus-
pected as the thief. The witness here examined the
various articles found in the prisoner's boxes as already
described, and identified the whole as forming a portion
of that which was plundered from the Clarendon while
she was living there.
Mr. SEczEn said that he should commit the prisoner
on both charges ; and, by the advice of her solicitor,
she said that she should reserve her defence for another
opportunity.
