addressed to Messrs. Paillet and Duvergier, a letter jointly
signed by them, stating that a third advocate had been

asking them if the referee should require their assistance to

Messrs. Paillet and Duvergier, should assist the referee. M.
Vatismenil gave his decision, and the Master reported in

was that the understanding had not been acted upon, as to
no one attending M. Vatisinenil, except Messrs. Paillet and

the Court the whole morning.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice TALFOURD and
a Special Jury.)
.-Nr‘Litax V. HUDSON, M.P., AND ANOTHER.
This was an action brought for breach of contract. It ap-
peared that the defendants, Messrs. Swinborne and Co., a
firm in which Mr. Hudson, M.P., is a chief partner, entered
into an agreement to supply the plaintiff, who is a looking-
glass seller in Fleet-street, with any number of glasses that
he might require in his trade for a certain period at a certain
price; during the first part of the term the orders were few
and of small extent, but a considerable rise suddenly taking
place „in the price of-glass, the plaintiff sent in an order to
the amount of 5,0001., which was not completed within the
period prescribed in the contract. The plaintiff brought the
present action to recover damages for the alleged breach of
contract, and for the defence it was pleaded that no breach
had taken place, as the unusually large order sent in by the
plaintiff was much greater than he could possibly require for
the purposes of his trade.
Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Atherton appeared for
the plaintiff,and Mr. Watson and Mr. Sergeant Channel!,
appeared for the defence.
After the case had been gone into at some length,
The Learned JUDGE recommended that the parties should
endeavour to come to some arrangement out of court.
A verdict was then taken by consent for the plaintiff—
Damages, 4001.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT

(Before the RECORDER and Alderman Sir PETER LAURIE. )
ASSAULT.—A young man named Lynch was indicted for
assaulting another named Roberts, with intent to do him
some grievous bodily harm.
The prisoner and the prosecutor had been drinking toge-
ther at a public-house, where a quarrel arose between the
prisoner and a third party and ultimately the prisoner was
forcibly ejected. When he got outside he was heard to say
that he would have his revenge, and accordingly he loitered
about the spot till the whole of the company retired, when
he threw a brickbat at the man who had offended him, but
the brick missed the person for whom it was intended and
struck the prosecutor, inflicting a serious wound on his head.
Several witnesses were called to prove the case, and in the
course of their examination it transpired that all the parties
were slightly the worse for drink at the time the assault was
committed, while the man whom the prisoner had in his
eye, when he threw the missile, had been guilty of great
provocation.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, but recommended him
to mercy on account of the provocation he had received.
The RECORDER sentenced him to three months' imprison-
ment, with hard labour.

NEW COURT.
( Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.)
James Joseph Stanley, clerk, was charged with stealing two
silver spoons, the property of Mr. Davis, an innkeeper. The
prisoner bad pledged the property immediately after the
robbery. Guilty. He was then charged with stealing a
silver spoon, the property of Isabella Eady and another. The
prosecutrix is a pastry-cook, carrying on business in gxford-
street. One day the prisoner honoured her with his custom.
He ordered some soup, which was served to him in an inner
room, with a silver spoon. Two ladies came in, and while
there the prisoner left the shop rather hastily, giving a shil-
ling in payment. Directly after he had gone the spoon was
missed. The spoon was pawned by the prisoner the same
day in Drury-lane. There were three other charges against
the prisoner, to which he pleaded guilty. He was recom-
mended to mercy on account of his youth and his father's re-
spectability. The father is a 'solicitor, with whom he had
quarrelled, in consequence of which he had left his home and
had since fallen into bad company. He was sentenced to
twelve months' imprisonment, with hard labour.

THIRD COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner GURNEY.)
Henry Munnery was charged with stealing a box of
knives, the property of the South- Western Railway Company.
The knives had been ordered from a Sheffield house for a
gentleman in the country, and bore his crest. The box was
stolen from a railway truck at the Nine Elms station about
the 2d of February, IQSO, whilst on its way to its destination,
Basingstoke. Knives, which were recognized by the crest
as part of this property, had been offered for sale to various
parties by the prisoner, who described them as being part of
a bankrupt stock which lie had got cheap. The prisoner had
been in the employ of the railway company, and had been
seen with a cart on the premises about the time of the
robbery.
Mr. Ballantine prosecuted; Mr. Parry defended.
Guilty of receiving; twelve months' impnsoment.

BOW-STREET.—( THIS DAY )
Elizabeth Flemming, alias Flynn, about 25 years of age,
who had the appearance of being a servant, was brought
before Mr. Hall, charged with leaving her female infant,
aged six months. upon a dun, heap in Bear-yard, Lincoln's
Inn-fields, expo-ed to the cold and r„in.
Mr. Kilner, clerk to the board of guardians of the Strand
Union, said he was instructed to prosecute the prisoner

Cooper. the porter to the workhouse in Cleveland-street,
said on Wednesday evening, the sth inst., a man named
Church brought a female child to the house, and said he had
found it lying upon a dung heap in Bear-yard, Lincoln's
Inn-fields, exposed to the weather. It was raini g very
fast, and it was also very cold The child was not cry-
ing, in consequence of its mouth being filled with sugar.
He went to Knightsbridge on Saturday last, and
there saw the prisoner. He asked her where her child
was. Ihe prisoner said that she had left it in
the street. She asked him if he knew where the child was,
and he replied that it was sate in the house. She said she
did not know that she had left it in his parish, she had de-
posited it in the street, but did not know where, and when
she returned twenty minutes afterwards the child was gone.
Witness then took her into custody, and she further said
that she was in great trouble, and could nit support her
child, that she had been persuaded to leave her child in that
manner, as others had done before.

The prisoner, who cried bitterly during the examination
of the witness, ant who appeared to feel acutely the position
in which she was placed, implored the magistrate to have
pity upon her. She said it was all true what Cooper had
stated.

Mr. HALL remanded the prisoner until Thursday next, to
give time for the completion of the case.
The prisoner was then removed, and appeared desirous of
seeing her child, who was in the arms of a nurse, but of
course she was refused and locked up.

WINDSOR ELECTION.—(THIS DAY.)
The election of a member for the Royal Borough of Wind-
sor, in the room of Mr. Hatcbell, who has accepted the office
of Attorney-General fur Ireland, was fixed for this morning.

The SHERIFF, having ascertained that there was no other

a Member for Windsor, for the present Parliament.

---
The proceedings, which were of a most quiet character,
shortly afterwards terminated.

for 200 sovs, or upwards ; and a Selling Sweepstakes of 3
soya. each, p. p., with 20 added, Ilst 91b each, with allow-
ances, if entered to be sold under 100 sovs.Three miles. For the
former, thirteen acc, ptances have been declared, three-fourths
of whom, at the least, will put in an appearance
including those well-known animals with the hounds, Mulli-
gan, Trust-me-not, St. Leger, Subduer, The Hawk Valiant,
Rendsburgh, Legislator, and The Lustrum. The Mulligan
party are unzommonly confident of winning, and Trust-me-
not is not expected to be far out ; Valiant, with lOst up, won
the Chipping Norton Steeple-chase last week, in very clever
style, and will run well on this occasion; and Legislator, a
very good fencer, is fancied by a great many; but my private
information dictates the following result:—
Mr. Elmore's Mulligan, 1 lst 41b .........• (Mason) 1
Mr. Mason's Trust-me-not, I Ist (Oliver) 2
Mr. Price's Legislator, lost 41b
Mr. 'l'ollit's Valiant, lOst 61b
Mr. Hoc ard's St. Leger, list
For the Swelling Sweet stakes some eight or ten will run, in-
cluding St. Ruth, list 21b, Gelding by Liverpool, lOst 111 b,
and Lammermoor, 9st 131 b, among whom, I anticipate, the
winner will be fOund; they may possibly catch the Judge's
eye in the following order :
Mr. Webb's hr g, by Liverpool
Mr. Gain's Lammermoor ... „
Mr. Austin's St. Ruth ;
I forgot to s ate that the distance of the handicap was four
miles, over a capital line of country close to the town, which
the Earl of Veruiain has allowed to be selected for the pre-
sent occasion. The first race will be run punctually at two
o'clock, and the second at half-past three; and, as the
scene of action can be easily gained via Hatfield and the
Northern line, a strong muster of the metropolitans may be
antici, ated. I perceive, with a curious eye, tine removal of
Sir It. Pigot's Derby nag, Runnymede, from John Day's
stable to Liloss's at Newmarket. This look- as if the
heads" had measured his chance and found him wanting.
By-the-bye, Grecian is improving wonderfully, he'll be a
dangerous customer for the Derby and " the Guineas," look
all but over; but, notwithstanding, for the former race I
must still stick to the following order of things :
TflE PRIME MINISTER ••• ••• 1
NEWM IN STER ... 2
GRECIAN ... 8
LAMARTINE •
... 4
Time may otter my opinion, but at the present writing it is
fixed firm as the Monument on Fish-street-bill.
My analysis of the Metropolitan Handicap on Friday
next.
