SHERIFFS' COURT THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Uialer-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
EVANS V. SCRIVENER.—FALSE IMPRISONMENT IN BETH-
LE3I IIOSPITAL ON THE GROUND OF INSANITY.
This was an xenon brought by the plaintiff to recovet
damages fir falsv imprisonment in Bethlein Hospital.
on the ground that he was insane.
Mr. TJORRY stated the case for the plaintiff, and Iron.
his statement it appeared that plaintiff and defendan
were brother and sister. Its December, 1841, plaintiff
carried on business as a mercer at Sheffield and Not-
tingham, and a family dispute having arisen, the de
fendant, it was alleged, had maliciously, and withotr
any reasonable cause, occasioned the incarceration
the plaintiff, as stated in the declaration, and he 'vs'
confined for three months. The Lvarned Counsel sale
that the only reason that could be assigned for such h
wanton and cruel act was to prevent the plaintiff from
proceeding with an action against the family. In ea
planation of the length of time since the trans-
action occurred, it was stated that the action was brought,
but in consequence of its having been placed in the office
of Mr. Barber, whose affairs were thrown into a state of
great confusion, additional delay occurred.
Sir Alex. Morrison was called to prove the plaintiff's
sanity, but he was not in attendance.
Mr. HoRRY said that the defendant had suffered judg-
ment to go by default, and thereby admitted the facts in
the declaration, and did not tppear even to address the
jury in mitigation.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said the case was laid before
them in a very bare state, but the plaintiff was entitled
to a verdict, but for what amotut it was the province of
the jury to decide.
The jury gave a verdict for 501.

ACCIDENT TO ME. GuueAM.—Letters from Malta
dated 12th of April, mention a frightful accident that had
just occurred to a son of Sir James Graham, serving as naval
cadet on board her Majesty's ship Queen. It appears that
Mr. Graham, who is a remarkably fine enterprising boy,
was showing off some feats of activity with his young mess-
mates aloft, when, missing his hold, he fell from the misen-
top to the deck, fortunately catching a rope that in some
degree checked the violence of the descent. We were glad
to hear last night that, although much hurt, the young suf.
ferer was progressing favourably.—A large party, amongst
whom were the Bishop of Gibraltar, General and Mrs. El.
lice, haclj wit oiled ill the tterlin steuAer fi Palermo.

Letters from Genoa of the 23d state that although
no more cases of malignant carbuncle have occurred
in that port, the Sanitary Council of Naples has di-
rected that arrivals from the former shall be subjected
to a quarantine of fourteen days.
The theatre of Reggio (Modena) was burnt down
on the 21st. Fortunately it was empty at the
so that no further accident occurred.

viously we have pointed out, you will be prepared to

alleviation, this market has been characterized by gra-
dually increasing dulness and depression, accompanied
