Mr. WHITEHURST apprehended it could. Suppose
a person should obtain a suit of clothes at a price of,
say 10/., and give a promissory note for the same, and
subsequently obtain other goods, giving other pro-
missory notes for them, would not the plaintiff have a
distinct cause of ac:ion upon each of the bills ?
Mr. Baron PARKE—If he had more than one of the
bills by him at the time the plaintiff could not bring
an action upon one of them only. lle would be com-
pelled to unite them in one plaint, provided the
amount did not exceed 201.

Mr. Baron ALDERSON—In that case it would be
clear that the plaintiff has that which he could include
in one action. .

The Loan CHIEF BARON—The County Court Act
must be construed with reference to statutes passed
before that time of a similar nature; and in one of the
cases it was stated, "if there be several contracts
between A and B at several times for several sums,
each sum under 405., and they altogether amount to
a sum to entitle it to be heard in the superior court,
they shall there be put into suit and not into the County
Court." _ _ _

Mr. Baron ALDERSON-If that were not so, see
what enormous consequences would follow • every
tradesmen wou!d have a right to divide his Christmas
bills into a number of separate actions. It was really
bring* the law into contempt.
Mr. MARTIN (with whom was Mr. Hill) ap-
peared in support of the rule. He contended
that the rule ought to be made absolute ; it was
absurd to suppose that a number of goods of the same
kind, supplied day by day, could be sued for sepa-
rately. The sum of 3001. sued for in this action
might have been sued for in fifteen different sum-
monses of 20/. each, even if the party had chosen to
carry his case into the County Court, whereas the
costs of the 228 summonses and service had actually
exceeded the whole cost of a trial in the superior
courts; or the whole case might have been included
in one action in the superior court.
Mr. HILL felt convinced, upon the authority of the
cases quoted by the other side, that the prohibition
ought to lie, for the purpose of putting down a public
nuisance, such as this Bill would be if proceedings like
the present were allowed to be taken under it. There
was a provision in the Act against the splitting of
any amount, in order to bring it within the jurisdic-
tion of the court, unless the party should abandon the
balance over and above the amount for which the
summons should be issued.
The Court took time to consider in what mode
they would give their decision.

ARCHES' COURT, Jan. 29.
(Before Sir 11. J. FusT.)
GEILS V. GEILS.
This case was called on again, and Dr. CURTEIS was
briefly heard in reply.
The Learned Judge (Sir H. J. nisi.) said he must
take time to consider this case. Into its general
merits he would not at the present moment go, and
the judgment must be reserved. There were some
circumstances upon which the Court now felt itself
imperatively bound to make some observations. He
alluded to allegations of corruption and partiality
being made against himself, and that in his decision
of the case such motives would guide him. He re-
pelled with indignation such assertions. The. conductof the Court was before the public, and by .its decision
he was ready to abide. It was in this, as it had been
in other instances, that one of the advocates appeared
to make each important case he took up his
own. The Learned Judge said he trusted upon
the test, as to his want of impartiality, to the
judgments he had pronounced while he had sat in that
chair. How many had been reversed ? Ly that
test he had no objection to he tried. The public
would then have to judge for itself, but if parties
were to make up their minds by hearing only ene
side, that was not the way in which he would be
judged. In every case • both sides should be heard
before conclusions were drawn against the partiality
of the Court. After thirty-six hours of argument in
this case by one counsel, he did not stop to hear the
other side, but talked of partiality on the part of the
Court. So much for the charges brought against him-
self. As yet the whole case had to be taken into
consideration. The Court must now express its
opinion as to the mode in which the case had been
argued. When the Court heard such terms made
use of by the learned civilian (Dr. Addams) as slan-
derer, thief, liars, blackguards, envenomed fiends,
addressed to parties in the cause, it was time to
interfere. The Learned Counsel had only regretted
that the English language did not giTe more epi-
thets to convey his sense of the conduct of those
opposed to him. These words could not raise the
character of the bar or the houour and reputation of
the practitioners. Quite a contrary effect must be
produced when such conduct went out before the
world. The Court, therefore, held it to be its duty
to reprehend such a course. There was an allusion
made, that if the Court should decide adversely to the
lady, the bar of public opinion would be appealed to.
This the Court considered an attempt to deter it in
the exercise of a free judgment. The case was 'still
under the consideration of the Court. The calumny,
as applied to the Court, it repelled. The Learned
Judge then referred to the conduct pursued by the
Learned Counsel in himself drawing the interrogato-
ries and seeing witnesses. This the Court held to be
entirely unprofessional. The proctor was the dominus
litis—he was the responsible party before the Court
in the conduct of a cause—he was entitled to have a
voice in the drawing up or correction of a plan, or of
interrogations. The Proctor was not to be made
a mere puppet, or to be treated as mere moonshine.
This course held up an opinion that he was un-
worthy of the confidence of his client. The Court
could not lay down any general rule upon such a
course of proceeding. If the proctor permitted him-
self to be made a mere puppet, he must submit to the
consequences. The Court would now say a word or
two about the patronage it held, and its improper use
of it was made a reason why the practice should be
reformed or the court entirely abolished. It was
now forty five years since he (Sir H. J. Fust) was
admmitted to the bar, and including the thirteen years
he had sat as judge, the only patronage he had had
was the appointment to the Apparitorship of the
Court of Peculiars, and the Seal-keeper of the Prero-
gative. To his clerk, who had been with him years
before he was elevated to the bench, he gave the
former for his zeal and attention. The other office
was held by the same respectable person who held
then as he did still. The emoluments of the former
were about 501. a year; those of the Prerogative
Court were considerable. The Court had not inter-
fered, either directly or indirectly, in the appointment
of the Queen's Proctor, though asked to do so by the
late Government. There were five candidates, and
his reply to the question for recommendation was,
that all were fit parties. The Court had thought it
right to state this much, so that the public mind
should be disabused of the statement put forth that
his patronage had been distributed among his own
relations. Leaving out of mind all that had occurred
of an objectionable nature, the Court would consider
the whole case, and give, it hoped, an unbiassed
judgment.— Sentence deferred.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

On Saturday two men named Jok. Strong and
William Anderson were brought before Sir W.
Magnay, charged by John Jordan, a butcher in Ca-
therine-street, Lambeth, with having by a fraudulent
device in gaming won of him 6/.
Jordan stated that he went into a public-house,
kept by a Mr. M'Donald, in Farringd•on•street, and
tossed with a stranger as to who should pay for some
liquor. The other man won several throws of the
penny, and they left off. Witness wished to play
with him again, but he declined, and Strong chal-
lnged him. He accepted the challenge, and some-
timese won and sometimes lost.He observed Strong threw
with a particular penny, and he wanted to look at it,
but he refused, and Anderson gave him some coppers to
put it amongst them. Witness went on playing till he
had lost all his money, about 61. 103.' and, believing
that he had been cheated by means of false coin, he
gave the prisoners into custody. The penny was found
on Strong, and there was a mark round the rim, where
a cap bearing the head of George 111. fitted on to
the side exhibiting Britannia. When the cap was on
the penny had two heads, and when i t was placed
under the hand on the table, with the cap uppermost,
and an opponent called out "head," the cap was
raised in the palm of the hand by some adhesive sub-
stance, and Britannia appeared uppermost. If an
opponent called "tail," the cap was allowed to remain
on, and exhibited a head, so that the possessor of the
fortunate penny was sure to win whenever he pleased.
Sir W. .MAGNAY asked if the cap was found ?
The officer said it was not. Strong had 3/. and
some coppers about him. There was a third man in
company, who it was supposed carried off the cap.
Strong said he played fair, and that tiltn complianant
lost a part of his money in tossing with others. He
lost 2/. to the first man he played with, and he owed
prisoner ss. He had not seen the cap.
Sir W. MAGNAY said the evidence would not satisfy
a jury, and he should therefore dismiss tEe case; but
the house in which this affair occurred should be re-
ported to the Police Commissioners and the Alderman
of the ward.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

The Magistrates of this court are taking vigorous
measures to put a stop to the infamous system of im-
porting into this country droves of children to beg
about the streets of London and the provincial towns
for the benefit of the persons who bring them over.
In all cases where a foreign beggar boy is brought
before Mr. Hardwick, directions are given for com-
pelling the appearance of the " padrone" before the
Court to answer the charge of having procured and
encouraged the accused to beg and g►a.ther alms. It
is expected that this course will not only thin the
number of Italian beggar children at present in this
country, but will tend to stop the preparations for
a wholes*le importation this spring, which are being
made.

Two boys were brought to the court charged with
being found begging about the streets at the West-
end.

Mr. Ihanwics. directed that the padrones should
be summoned before him. Only one of the padrones
could be found. His name was Pietro Majocchi,
and the little boy who gave evidence against him
was Luigi Majocchi, his brother. The evidence of
the boy was to the effect that he had been brought
over to this country by his brother, his brother hav-
ing in like manner been previously brought over by
his father, who had gone back to Italy. The busi-
ness was to go about begging, and to give what money
he got to his brother. lie had got as much as 2s. 6d.
in one day, hut his usual average was 101. or ls.
Mr. HARDWICK said that it was evident the defen-
dant had committed an infraction of the law, that he
was an incorrigible offender, and that it was neces•
sary to inflict a severe punishment. There was,
however, one difficulty about these cases, and that
was, when the padrones were sent to prison what was
to become of the children, and at whose expense were
they to he sent back to Italy ?
Aquiler Lucioni, bootmaker, of Ray-street, who
has taken much pains to put a stop to the system, said
he intended to petition the Pope on the subject.
Mr. HARDWICK doubted whether the Pope would
interfere in the matter.
The defendant was then seat to prison and hard
labour for a month.

THAMES.
Michael Haggarty, an Irish coal- whipper, about
30 years of age, was brought before Mr. Ballantine,
charged with feloniously cutting and wounding Ellen
Cahill, with intent to murder her.
The woman Cahill occupied the lower room of a
small house, No. 7, St. George's-court, Blue-gate-
fields, Ratcliff- highway-. On Saturday morning,
between eight and nine o'clock, a woman named Ca-
therine Hall, who is the landlady of the house, and
slept in the room above, was alarmed by the screams
of the woman Cahill, and heard her call out " Mur-
der ; don't kill me, Mike ;" and soon afterwards she
was heard to exclaim that her throat was cut. Mrs.
Hall was about to go down stairs to the assistance of
the woman Cahill, when a woman who was in the
same bed prevented her doing so, and said it was
only some of Ellen's larks. A few minutes after-
wards, however, the cries of murder were repeated,
and the noise of a fearful struggle was heard in
the room below. Mrs. Hall got up, and upon
reaching the foot of the stairs saw Ellen Cahill,
lying on her bed, with her face downwards, and the
prisoner jobbing at her with a clasp knife, the blade of
which he thrust into the back and shoulders of the
wretched woman, and also drew it across her neck.
The blood was then gushing from the wounds. Mrs.
Hall ran up stairs again and told her bedfellow Ellen's
throat was cut. The window was thrown up, and
the two women in the upper room called out "Mur-
der," and at their request a sailor, who was passing,
armed himself with a poker, and threatened to knock
down the prisoner if he did not desist, and prevented
his escape. The injured woman was taken from the
room and conveyed to the house No. 9, in the same
court. Soon afterwards Taplin, a police-constable,
No. 234 K, was called into the house where the pri-
soner was, and he found him in the room where he had
attempted to murder the woman with only his shirt
and trousers on. His shirt sleeves, his hands, and the
front of his shirt were covered with blood, which was
quite wet. There were also large patches of blood on
the bed-clothes and the floor of the room. Taplin asked
the prisoner why he had committed such a dreadful act ;
to which he fiercely replied, " I have killed her, and
have had my revenge over her for scratching my
face and biting my eye last Monday ; you may do
as you like with me now." Taplin left him in charge
of two men, and proceeded to the house where the
woman was, and found her in a most exhausted state
and bleeding from numerous wounds. Mr. Daniel
Ross, a surgeon, in high-street, Shadwell, was im-
mediately called in, and he had some difficulty in
stopping the hemorrage and preventing the wretched
creature from bleeding to death. After binding up
her wounds, twenty•two in number, he applied re
storatives, and left his patient doing as well as could
be expected under the circumstances. Mr. Ross de-
scribed the wounds as follows : Two superficial
wounds on the right side of the head, a cut on the
right side of the throat, and a rather deep one on the
back of the neck, a long and deep gash on the outer side
of the right arm, penetrating to the bone ; a wound on
the right wrist, two fingers of the right hand severely
cut, two wounds in the back near the spine, one on
the left side over the ribs, three deep wounds on the
back over the left shoulder, and another on the upper
part of the left shoulder, one on the back of the left
hand, one on the small finger of the same hand
dividing the nail, one between the thumb and fore.
finger of the same hand, and four deep wounds over the
haunch on the right side. Singularly enough no vital
part had been touched, and Mr. Ross was of opinion,
if the woman had physical strength enough to bear
up against the immense loss of blood she had sus
tained, she might recover. Police-sergeant Townson,
No. 8 K, went to the room where the affray took
place after the prisoner was locked up, and he found
it in a state of great confusion, denoting that the
woman, who was possessed of remarkable strength,
had been engaged in a terrible conflict with the ruffian
who attempted to deprive her of life, and a 3 a last
resource, when she was overpowered by the loss of
blood, she threw herself on the bed upon her face,
and the prisoner still continued jobbing at her. On
searching the room, Townson found a clasp knife,
with two small blades at one end of it, on a box under
the bed. sacking. The other end appeared to have
had a larger blade, which was broken out. A portion
of the iron handle and the bone of the knife were also
gone. Townson found the large blade of the knife,
stained with blood, at the foot of the bed. It fitted
the handle exactly. He also discovered, in another
part of the room, a portion cf the iron frame of the
knife and the piece of bone which had been detached
from it. There is no doubt the large blade of the
knife was broken while the prisoner was stabbing the
woman, and that he concealed the knife with the two
blades under the bed previous to the officer's arrival.
Townson produced the woman's chemise. It was
saturated with gore and pierced with holes correspond-
ing with the wounds described by Mr. Ross.
Inspector Bilson, of the K division, who had charge
of the case, said he should be able to prove, on a
future day, that the knife found by Townson be-
longed to the prisoner, who had been heard to de-
clare he intended to do for Ellen Cahill.
The prisoner, who is an Irishman, on being called
upon for his defence, in a sullen manner declared
that the woman was always after him and would not
let him alone. As he was on his way home on Friday
night she would not leave him, but forced him to her
dwelling.
Mr. BALLANTINE—What do you say to this charge
of cutting and maiming the woman in such an atro-
cious manner ? The prisoner—She scratched me and
bit me on the eye last Monday night; I have
" stucks" and scratches too. Last night at 11 o'clock
I wanted to go home; I told her so, and she forced
her company to me, arid I had the revenge.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Last Monday night, what has
that to do with last night? I shall commit you for
trial for the felony, but you will be brought up again
to hear the woman's evidence when she is sufficiently
recovered. I remand you now till Saturday.
