LAW INTELLIGENCE,

ADMIRALTY COURT, May 1.
This day was especially appointed to hear two important
cases. Trinity masters were in attendance, but it was an—
nounced that the Learned Judge (Dr. Lushington) bad
.Inet=
with an accident by being thrown off his horse, but it Is
satisfactory to state that the injury is but slight.
Pr. Adams sat as Surrogate, and disposed of assignations.

COL-A7T OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 1.
There was m; case of the least public interest or import—
ance heard in this Court to-day. A good deal of time was
occupied in bearing the arguments of counsel upon a point
which had arisen out of two parties having made certain bets
upon the result of the Derby and one of them wishing toget
back his stake before the result was known.

BAIL COURT, May 1.
A jury was empannelled in this Court to try a case arising
out of the sal of certain railway shares, and the time at
which they were sold ; but the case was of Rio interest ez-
cept to the parties concerned.

COURT OF EXCHEQUEg, May 1.
In this Court the greater part of the day was
17)u o n
C"SUTnel'
with a case in which the legality of the appoin.smen :. tef ittle
_i.
churchwardens for the parish of Walbrook was '
question. There was no public interest attached to t`tig case.

SHERIFFS' COURT', May 1.
(Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.)
POWELI. V. LOWE.

This was an action for assault. The facts of the case were
these :—The plaintiff is a cowkeeper, and the defendant i 3 a
cattle salesman, in Smithfield Market. A short time since.
an action was brought by plaintiff against defendant to re-
cover the sum of 131. 103., for a cow bought of defendant, but
the defendant having got the money set up a previous account,
and refuse to give up the cow, but said he would stick to beth
the cow and the money; and after several applications by
Mr. Buchannati, plaintiff's attorney, the action was brought!,
when plaintiff recovered the 13/. 10s., and 61. for the loss 01
he milk by the detention of the cow. On the day this action
as tried the parties met in Smithfield Market, when de-
^endant seized plaintiff by the collar and shook him violently,-
and pushed him against 'a
lot of beasts.
Mr. RYLAND addressed the jury for the defendant, suggest'
ing he was labouring under excited feelings, and that no
serious injury had ensued.
The jury returned a verdict for ztominal damages.

SECONDAR ES' COURT, May 1.
(Before Mr. Secondary 'Wren.)
PARRY N. JOHNSON.
This was an action to recover the sum of 20/. the balano
of an account for a steam. engine sold to defendant, who icTla
3/. 6s. into Court, and pleaded that he was not further lir
debted. •
The case lasted a considerable time, the evidenCe as to
value being very contradictory.
On the part of the plaintiff an engineer was called, who
made the engine for plaintiff, and sold it for him ; it was 0n
eight-horse high-pressure table engine. It was not perfec,''
at the time it was sold, but 951. was asked for it, or 120/.11
completed. It was, however, ultimately agreed that the pd.:*
as it stood should be 75/. ; the defendant had only paid 501.
but the plaintiff had reduced his claim in order to bring it
into this Court. For the defendant, it was contended, that
the engine was warranted perfect, but, that on the contrary,
it required 111. 14s. worth of labour before it was capable 01
being worked—all the interior, or, as the witness termed it,
the "constitution" was bad, and it never would be a o°l
engine. One of defendant's witnesses (both being engineers)
valued it at present worth 1001.—the other 60/.
The jury, without hesitation, found for the amount claimed'
This was the only case tried.
