DITMOURS Or TEE DAY.

Lord Abinger is about to resign in favour of Sir
Frederick Pollock, who is to be made Chief Baron. Mr.
Cresswell is to be Attorney-General ; but serious appre-
hensions are entertained that not one half of the Tory
officials will be fit for duty, owing to the shock which
their nerves have received by the result of the elections.
Like Cromwell, they say, " We never expected to see
such a day."
At Woodstock, two days ago, two old women, one of
whom fainted away at the sight, saw a tree, which would
have required many horses to draw it from the place
where it was cut down, quietly roll up a neighbouring
hill like a huge serpent. Many of Mr. Thesiger's en-
lightened supporters have been to look at the wonder-
ful tree.

SHERIFF'S COURT-(THIS DAY.)

BACHELOR V. GREY.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of 41. 13s. for
medicines supplied to the defendant. The plaintiff was Mrs.
Catherine Bachelor, who carried on business as a chemist and
druggist, in the Broadway, Hammersmith, and defendant an
upper servant to a lady named Page, residing in Brook-green,
in the same neighbourhood. It appeared in the evidence that
the plaintiff's brother was a medical student, and used to pre-
scribe for the defendant, but received no fee. The prescrip-
tions were compounded by an assistant in the plaintiffs shop,
and amounted to the sum now cla'rned. For the defence it
was contended that the defendant employed Mrs. Bachelor as a
surgeon and apothecary, and that it was on his account alone
the medicines were supplied, and under a certain section of the
Apothecaries' Act, any person who was not in practice before
the year 1915, or who did not possess a certificate from the
Apothecaries' Hall, was debarred from the recovery of medi-
cines supplied, and that the action was brought in the name of
Catherine Bachelor to evade this section of the Act.
Mr. HORN, for the plaintiff, said that if she acted as an
apothecary the defence set up might be good, but Mr. Batche-
lor, although so nearly related to her, had no interest or con-
nection whatever with the business, and his prescriptions for
the defendant were compounded in the plantiff's shop in the
same manner as might be done in the shop of any other
druggist ; and, therefore, there could be no fraud or collusion
in terms under which the present action was brought.
Verdict for the plaintiff, 41. 135., costs, 40s.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY).
A " WATERFORD " FREAK.— George Dobson, a very fa-
shionably attired young man, was placed before Mr. Twyford,
charged with having wrenched the knocker from the hall-door
of Mr. Dow, of Brydges-street, Covent Garden.
It appeared that the prisoner, in company with several
young men, was proceeding along Brydges-street last even-
ing, and on coming up to the house of Mr. Dow, bootmaker,
the prisoner walked deliberately up to the hall-door, and
wrenched off the brass knocker. The party then proceeded
down the street, and called a cab, but having been seen by a
policeman, he came up and took the young man at the bar into
custody. The whole of the parties were in liquor at the time.
The prisoner said he was very sorry for what had happened.
He was in liquor at the time, and had no recollection of the
circumstances.

The MAGISTRATE referred to the Act of Parliament, and
said that he was empowered by it to inflict a penalty not ex-
ceeding 5/. If these practices were allowed, he knew not how
far they might be carried, as persons in a lower grade of
life might be induced to break the knockers from doors for the
purpose of pawning or selling them, as it appeared that the
knocker in question wa3 a valuable one. He Should therefore
not pass it over, but fine the prisoner 40s.
The fine was immediately paid, and the Magistrate inti-
mated to the prisoner that he ought to pay the amount of the
rej &P 4 that would be required for the door ; but Mr. Dow,
who appeared against the prisoner, said he should be satisfied
if he would contribute something towards the poor's-box.
This he promised to do, and the prisoner was then discharged.
