BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

( Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice TAUNTON and
a Special Jury. )
HUDSON V. C ODSDEN.

The plaintiff in this case brought an action against the
defendant to recover back 141. under the following cir-
cumstances. The plaintiff bought a horse of the defendant
at Smithfield, for 15/., the horse being warranted sound in
every respect. The plaintiff paid 21., and sent his son with
the balance, and to bring home the horse. It was, how-
ever, very soon discovered that the animal was lame and
full of faults, and in consequence the plaintiff returned him,
demanding his money back, at the same time offering to
lose 11. if he could get the other 14/. The defendant pro-
mised to give him back the money, or another horse, by
the following Friday ; but, as he failed to do either, the
plaintiff brought his action for the 141.
There was no defence ; and witnesses being called to
prove the plaintiff's case, the Jury found a verdict for 141.

GREAT MEETING OF THE TRADES'
UNIONS, APRIL

(Concluded from our Second Edition of last night.)
six O'CLOCK.

The leaders of the unions have upon this occasion
shown great good sense. After marching their first
lodges out to Kennington Common, they dis-
banded them, with an understanding that the
answer to the petition had not then been re-
ceived, but would be communicated at the various
lodges in the evening. Those lodges that were last in
the procession were dismissed on the road from the
Obelisk and the Elephant and Castle. The conse-
quence was, that all was peace and quietness along
the road, which more resembled the time of a Camber-
well or Peckham Fair, than the day of such an alarm-
ing meeting.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

SEVEN O'CLOCK.

Since our first edition we have ascertained that up
to the present time everything has passed off in an
orderly and quiet manner. The vast number of the
unionists who assembled on Kennington Common
marched off or dispersed in the most peaceable
manner, and not the slightest manifestation of feeling
was exhibited. Every person seemed to be under the
orders of a superior, who exhorted them to peace, and
those exhortations were strictly attended to. The dif-
ferent unions, we understand, will take refreshment at
their respective lodges, but the greatest anxiety appears
to be with them not to do any thing to disturb the public
peace. Not a soldier, not a policeman, has been called
into action, on such a day as this, when so numerous a
body has met for one common object.
The following is the petition to the King :
. " TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

" The humble petition of the Members of the Trades'
Union of Great Britain and Ireland.

" Humbly showeth,—That your petitioners deem it a
most sacred duty they owe to themselves, and to posterity,
and also to your Majesty, thus to declare to your Majesty
the intense interest and anxiety with which they contem-
plate a decision which has lately been pronounced in one
of your Majesty's .courts of judicature, at Dorchester,
against six agricultural labourers, who had been then and
there convicted of having administered to other agricultu-
ral labourers, a certain oath, not required and sanctioned
by law, and who have been in consequence sentenced to
a punishment of seven years' transportation.
" Your petitioners considering this sentence to be both
extremely cruel and oppressive, and viewing the proceed-
ing as they are obliged to do, in the light of an unjustifiable
attack upon the rights of humanity, do hereby humbly
supplicate your Majesty's interference to prevent its ex-
ecution, and that your Majesty will be graciously pleased
to order a strict investigation to be made into the whole of
the circumstances connected with the affair, which your
petitioners verily believe involves consequences of the
highest magnitude and importance, and also that your
Majesty will be pleased to appoint a special commission to
inquire into the real causes of the great distress which
prevails among the working population of your Majesty's
empire, and from which, if not speedily averted, your
petitioners apprehend the most deplorable results.
" And your petitioners, as in duty bound, shall
ever pray."
