THE LADY MAYORESB.—Mrs, Admiral Ross and Mrs.
Foulstone left the Mansion House this morning, at
nine o'clock, in her Ladyship's carriage and four post-horses,
to meet the Lord Mayor at Reading, in order to accompany
his Lordship and party to the fete given by Mr. Morrison,
M.P., at Basaldon• park.
MILITARY FLOGGING.—The following resolution WAS
agreed to on Tuesday evening, Aug. 4, at a meeting of the
National Association, 242, Holborn :—" That the punishment
by flogging, as practised in the army and navy, is disgraceful
to a civilised nation, brutalising and cruel to the men who
witness and endure it, and inefficacious as a means for the
suppression of vice and crime. That the late cruel and bar-
barous exhibition of this punishment at Hounslow calls for
a strong expression of public opinion, to obtain which it is
resolved that a public meeting be held in the Hall, on Thurs-
day, August 13th."

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY•)

(Before Mr. Under Sheriff 13URCHELL.)
EASTON V. HEDGES.

The plaintiff is a hay and corn dealer in the Edgeware-
road, and the defendant is a horse dealer in the vicinity •
The action was brought to recover the sum of 71 9s. dil. for
hay, &c., sold to the defendant.
The defendant pleaded the genoral issue•
The plaintiff's ease was to the effect that the parties had
been in the habit of dealing together for some years, and in
November last year the account was settled between them,
and the defendant said he was going out of town, but wished
plaintiff to let his man have things as usual. Some goods
were delivered at the stables as usual, and others to a mart
named Peake; but after the defendant's return it was dis-
covered that Peake had sold a portion of the hay, and a
question arose as to. whether he ought not to be given into
custody, and a policeman was called in, but plaintiff refused
to give him in charge.
Peake was called,and swore he had been in the defendant's
service for eight years, and had not been discharged.
When defendant left town, in November, he gave witness a
part of his week's wages, and witness from time to time sold
hay and straw for his own support, as he received nothing
from defendant. He had been jobbing about for one /ITd.
another since, and occasionally for plaintiff. Plaint 1
asked him to stay to give evidence, but he never said that
he would prosecute him if he did not give evidence to "
fix
the defendant. He got the hay from plaintiff on de-
fendant's account, but told the persons to whom he sold .
that he got it in exchange for a horse.
Mary Gunn, the mother of Peake, was called, and swore
that she met defendant a few days ago, and he told her to
tell her son to keep out of the way at the time of the trial,
and she had better get some one to make him drunk.
Mr. THOMAS, on the part of the defendant, called a witness
named Lund, who swore that he took the premises of de-,
fendant in December last, as he was going down on a rally/elf
contract, and that no horses were kept there
defendant's, nor had any hay or straw been delivered at tir
stables after then, although plaintiff's witnesses had sworn
the contrary. He had heard plaintiff say that Peake ha
committed a felony, and he had put Inspector Wiggins
him, and he would have him if he was above ground. 4"
was further proved that the plaintiff had sent several times
to the persons who had bought the hay, and required of theme
to pay the difference between the price they bought it at and
the fair price, thereby treating those parties as their creditor''
The jury said they had made up their minds at least all
hour before.
The UNDER-SHEINIET said that he could not tell which
way they had decided, but it was right to say that the
plaintiff's counsel had the right of reply.
The jury said they were in favour of the defendant.
The plaintiff's COUNSEL contended that the goods had been
delivered at the usual place, and to men who had been in the
service of defendant; and that the plaintiff was not respon-
sible for the frauds of the servants of other persons.
The thamta. Sit ERIFF said the fair and real question ivesPric
if Peake was in the service of the defendant, and plaint'".
bad been in the habit of supplying him as usual, without
having had notice not to do so, then would he be entitled t°
a verdict; but if he had notice, of course he would not.
The jury gave a verdict for the defendant.

BOW-STREE r.-(THIS DAY)
George Johnson, a young man of decent appearance, wig
charged with stealing a portmanteau, the property of Mt
Day, a trunk and portmanteau dealer in the Strand.
John Bliss, shopman to the prosecutor, said that he wa,l
standing in the shop this morning, when a cabman came to
the door, and said that somebody was running away with $
portmanteau. He went to the door just in time to see the
prisoner turning the corner of Wellington-street. He 130,1:
sued and succeeded in catching the prisoner, who bad the
portmanteau produced on his shoulder.
The foreman at Mr. Day's shop identified the portrnantosli
as his master's property.
The prisoner made no defence.
Mr. HALL said it would be necessary to remand the
pri-
soner in order to bring forward the cabman. If the
latter refused to appear a warrant could be taken out. ~,t
The prisoner was remanded till Friday (to. morrow wee'

Mr. Samuel Bowly took the chair.
The SECRETARY read a paper containing a statistics leo
count of the state and progress of temperance prinelP4
throughout the country. Among the statements continuo-
therein may be mentioned the following :—That in the ti
of Bury alone no less a sum than 21. 3s. 4d. was anus
spent by each man, woman, and child, in strong drinks ; decl
Poor-law Commissioners' circular stating the sum exPeerar
in that manner to be 24,000,0001., which is more than 4'o-01,
times the amount of poor-rates throughout the knigl"o ia
The amount of spirits annually consumed by each persl,
the United Kingdom was—in England 7 1-9 pints, in ,
13 pints, and in Scotland 23 pints. h 11 it

'flitted to prison for crime ; 10,000 living by gaol
20,0r10 by beggary; and 30,000 practising theft and Ira tis
To feed all this depravity, three million's worth of spiritils
liquor was employed, producing in one year 23,000 drunks%
reeling about the streets, 150,000 drinkers of spirits, bP'
temples of debauchery, and innumerable sabbath-breaker'
