LAW INTELLIGENCE.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
BRIXHOLII V. 'WAGSTAFF.
Mr. CHAD WICK JONES stated the plaintiff's case. It was an
action for the recovery of the sum of 8/. for work and labour
done. The defendant was an apothecary and druggist it
Piccadilly, and engaged the plaintiff on the Ist of June last
to serve as a dispenser in his shop, where he remained until
the Bth of August, when Mr. Wagstaff dismissed hint with-
out a preliminary notice of one month, as was customary in
such engagements. The plaintiff now sought to recover
the sum of 8/. for wages during the time he was actually in
the defendant's service, and a-further sum of 2!. on account
of the month's notice to which he considered himself enti-
tled previous to a dismissal. The plaintiff was engaged at
the rate of 32!. per annum, and 61. had been paid into
Court by the defendant.

Wi nesses having been examined to prove the compe-
tency of the plaintiff, and the rate of wages allowed to per-
sons in his capacity,
Mr. PETERSDORFF, for the defendant, took an objection
to the form in which the action was brought—the count
being for work and labour done ; whereas, according to
the plaintiff's own acknowledgment, and the evidence ad-
duced in support of his case, the whole amount set down in
the writ as for work and labour done did not amount to 81.,
a portion of that sum being claimed on the grounds of a
breach of contract. The Learned Counsel then quoted
and commented on several precedents in support of his
views.

Mr. C. JONES having replied,
The Jury, under the direction of the Learned Under-
Sheriff, returned a verdict for the defendant.

POLICE IN TEL LIGENC E.

MANSION-HO USE.

A young woman, named Ann Brown, was brought, in
the custody of John Forrester, the officer, before Mr.
Alderman Wilson, charged with having had in her
possession a 401. note, which had been stolen in the
house of a gentleman named Watkins, in Middleton-
square.

Mr. Watkins' house had been, it appeared, entered
by thieves at the roof, there being an empty house next
door, by 'means of which, no doubt, facilities were ren-
dered to those who ventured, and plundered of a 501,
a 401. note, and some railway shares. The p-operty
had been deposited in a box, which was found on the
parapet wall empty, and the thieves, who were disturbed
by the appearance of a gentleman who resided in the
house, and who arrived as they were carrying off the
plunder, escaped.
The woman at the bar took some goods out of pledge
at the house of a pawnbroker named Perkins, with a
bank-note for 401., and received 321. in chafige. The
notes were stopped at the Bank and traced to the pri-
soner, who said that she got 101. from a gentleman she
was in the habit of meeting, but whose house she did
not know, for getting the note changed.
Upon being asked whether she wished to say any-
thing, she replied that she had nothing to say.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.

THESPITALFIELDS SILKWEA VERB.—L' STA-
BLISIIMEN7' OF A SCHOOL OF PRACTICAL DESIGN.—OA
Monday a meeting of some of the most eminent of the silk-
manufacturers, and of the most skilful of the journeymeo
silkweavers was held at AR Saints' National Schoolroom,
Spicer-street, for the purpose of " appointing a Commit-
tee to superintend the school of design which is about to
be established in Spitalfields." There were present
Messrs. Gibson, Soper, Robinson, Ilsrrisson, &c., silk.
manuf cturers, and eighteen of the Committee of
Journeymen, who have united for the purpose of forming
a pictorial and emblematical specimen of the art of silk-
weaving, which is to be offered for her Majesty's accep-
tance, and which will cost many hundreds of pounds. It
was stated that the funds for the support of the school
would be in part granted by the council of the central
school at Somerset House. Mr. Robinson then moved
the following resolution :—" That in the opinion of this
meeting it is highly expedient to establish a school of
design in this neighbourhood, to co-operate with the
central school at Somerset House; and that a Commit
tce consisting of manufacturers and journeymen, be
formed to carry the object into effect." This being se-
conded was carried unanimously. The Committee was
next formed, consisting of ten manufacturers and ten jour-
neymen. The manufacturers were--Messrs. Gibson,
Moore, Soper, Robinson, Harrisson, Brydges, Sanderson,
Veneer, Kemp, and Casey. Mr. Robert Hanbury was
appointed treasurer, the Rev. Henry Taylor sub-treasurer,
and Mr. A. Dear secretary. At the conclusion of the
procordings the pictorial and emblematical design, which
intended to be formed into a piece of workmanship
entirely of silk, was exhibited. In it were represented
her Majesty seated, and Prince Albert standing on her
right. The profiles of Nelson, Howe, Wellington, Moore,
&c , were on each side of the picture. The design
was admired by the manufacturers present ; and it was
ob,erved by one that when finished it would astonish the
silk-manufacturers of Lyons. 'I hanks were voted to the
Chairman, who briefly replied.

ESTABLISHMENT of LIBRARIES IN THE
METROPOLITAN PoucE.—Some of the officers of the me-
tropolitan police have established a library in their respec-
tive divisions for the use and instruction of their men when
off duty ; the example was set by Mr. Grimwood, the su-
perintendent of the E division, and from a catalogue just
now published, it appears that the said library consists of
290 volumes, comprising some of the vcty best works ex-
tant. The praiseworthy exertions of the conductors have
attracted the notice of private individuals, wuo, in the ono
division referred to, have made gratuities to the amount
of upwards of 2QI.
