LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Sittings at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Cresswell and
a Common Jury.)
PARRISH V. COLEMAN.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a farm( r,
of Barking, against the defendant, an extensive and emi-
nent agricultural implement maker, .of Chelmsford, to
recover damages for loss sustained by reason of the
defendant having,supplied Lim within a machine that was
useless. It appeared from evidence that in Jan. 1854, the
plaintiff gave the defendant an order for a chaff-cutting
and oat-bruising machine, to be paid for at the time of
fixing. The machine was made and ready for fixing in
July following, but the plaintiff not having a place fit
for it ready, it was not fixed until the end of the year.
Several applications were made for payment, and it was
not till July, 1855, that a settlement took
place, when the plaintiff gave the defendant a
three months' bill, which, however, was dis..
honoured, and in February last he commenced proceed.
ings against the defendant for damages on the grounds
above alleged. Evidence was given by the plaintiff that
the machine was to be of one-horse power, and that after
he got it, and before he gave the bill, he complained to
the defendant that it was useless being of greater power,
and difficult of working, and be called practical men to
prove that it was of too complicated a nature for general
use. The defendant, however, denies] that there was to be
any stipulations as to power, but that it was to be a
machine that could be used with one horse, and that
this was one that could be used with one or six horses,
and such as he had supplied to numerous agriculturis,
of the neighbourhood, who had used them with
great success. All the cbmplaint the plaintiff
had made to him was that the machine went
hard, and he had informed the defendant that he was
ready to do anything to that would make it work
easy and give satisfaction.

The learned judge having summed up, the jury retired
to consider the verdict, and had not returned when our
dispatch left.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE R. K. LANE.

This bankrupt, described as of Argyll-street, Regent-
street, bill discounter, &c., to-day came up to pass his
last examination, which had been adjourned on several
occasions for the completion of the balance sheet, which
is of a very voluminous nature. It commences Ist Jan.,
1853, with au estimated balance (not realised), the debts
being set down at 21,5001., assets 33,8001. The bank-
rupt had not kept any c‘sh book or ledger, and it had
become necessary to raise a cash account from the
bankrupt's diary and banker's book, and that account
showed—receipts 97,4201., disburaementi 95,879/. ; and
the deficiency was accounted for by unvouched expenses,
&c. The losses had arisen from discounting and on
share transactions in which the bankrupt had been en-
gaged, The assets consist of bills of costs and property,

His Honour said that such an account could not be
deemed satisfactory, but the question was whether a
better could be obtained ? This was the sixth adjourn-
ment.

Mr. Mason, for the assignees, did not oppose bank.
rupt's passing, and he passed accordingly.
Mr. Chidley appiied for an allowance to the bankrupt,
and also for an accountant. The bankrupt had been
indefatigable in assisting his assignees.
His Honour said that so far he had behaved to their
satisfaction, and was entitled to an allowance, but not
for making out the accounts, the difficulties of which
arose from the bankrupt not having kept proper books.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.)

SOUTH WARK.

RINGING THE CHANGES.—THE OLD DODGE.—Mary
Ann Hayward, a woman about 30 years of age, was
before Mr. Burcham, charged with attempting to defraud
Mr. Harding, a baker, out of a shilling under the fol-
lowing artful circumstances.

William Shillinghurst, a klurneyman baker, in the
employ of the prosecutor, said he was in the shop on
Saturday evening with his mistress, when he saw the
prisoner come in and ask for half a quartern loaf. Mrs.
Harding served her, and the prisoner handed her half-a-
crown. Witness was standing clean to the counter, and
he distinctly saw Mrs. Harding hand her taco good
shillings and two pence. The prisoner took them up,
and after changing one of the shillings for a counterfeit,
she threw it on the counter asking it to be changed for
two sixpences. Mrs. Harding refused to change it, when
the prisoner said she had given her a bad shilling, and
she was determined to have a good one for it. Witness
perceiving her dodge, slipped round the counter and
seized up the counterfeit shilling, which she marked, and
secured the prisoner until a constable came in, when
Mrs. Harding gave her into custody.

Mr. Burcham said he should remand her until Satur-
day next, for the attendance of the solicitor of the Mint,
who, he had no doubt, knew something of her.

THAMES.

SHAMEFUL &SEERY OF A PORTUGUESE SAILOR.—
William, Brown, an Irishman who is well known in the
neighbourhood of the St. Katherine's Dock, was brought
before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a large and
massive gold ring, with an engraving of an idol and two
elephants upon it, and &re rupees, from Augustus
Riviere, a man of colour.

The prosecutor, a little man, who gave his evidence in
the Portuguese language, and also spoke the Hindostanee
tongue, said that he came from Rangoon to Bremen
in a ship in which be acted in the capacity of cook.
The captain mulcted him of a great part of his
wages, and sent bim away from Bremen in a
steamer. He arrived ,in London yesterday (Sun-
day) evening. He was in a street near the
Royal Mint, when the prisoner looked at the gold ring
on his finger, and asked him to sell it. He took the
ring from his finger, and the prisoner immediately
snatched it from him and knocked him down, and then
rifled his pockets, and took five rupees from him.
He got up and pursued the prisoner, who turned
round and knocked hint down again, and ran away.
Charles Price, a young man residing in Norwich-
court, Upper East Smithfield, said he heard a noise last
night about 9 o'clock, and on going out caw the pro-
secutor in Noate's-buildings, looking about him. The
prisoner was concealed behind some barrels. He
called for the police, and the prisoner ran away.
The prosecutor and the witness both followed
the prisoner, who turned opposite the guard-house of
the Royal Mint, and knocked down the prosecutor. The
prisoner again ran away, and was stopped by a police.
man.

Police•sergeant Griffin, 3 K said he stopped the
prisoner as he was running, and the prosecutor imme-
diately afterwards came up and made signs he had been
robbed of his ring and money. On the way to the
station•house the prisoner took a ring produced from his
pocket and handed it to witness.

The prosecutor identified the gold ring produced, and
said it cost him 25 rupees in Rangoon.
Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for trial.

NEW CATTLE MARKET.—The Great Western Railway
Company propose to establish a fortnightly market at
Swindon solely for cattle, the object being to establish a
large central depot for the numerous cattle districts
which have been opened up by their various lines, espe-
cially from Ireland and South Wales.
LINCOLN'S INN-FIELDS.—There was a time when Lin-
coin's Inn-fields was probably the handsomest square in
the whole metropolis ; but for much more than a hun-
dred years it has continued without a suitable access
from any surrounding quarter, although for the same
period of time, this inconvenience has been complained
of ; as will be seen in the following extract from the St.
.T a me s' sChrroeneite,leiro from
the end 0f
ses
rom June 6toPr, 1761 :—" A plan
for a new street, le
-street to Temple-
bar, is actually concerting, which as been a thing long
wanted, as the at/vales to Lincoln's Inn-square are so
extremely bad. It is also said, that in order to make it
complete, Turnstile will be Ntidened, so as to admit of
carriages passing."--Notee and, ettertes.
THE FRENOHMAN AND THE ENGLISHMAN.—A French-
man seems gratified at an opportunity of being polite—
an Englishman, to regret the trouble that it casts
An Englishman tereCati tired after the third bow, and
looks Vexed, sullen, or impatient ; the Frenchman's
desire to please seems to strengthen by habit. His back
is India-rubber, his tams caoutchouc, his hat-brim is
metallic, and looks never shabbier for repeated handling.
His courtesy at the first meeting does not imply eternal
friendship, yet is al sincere as the cold cautious bend of
an Englishman. John Bull, if he can, considers it a
clear gain to slip round a corner and escape shaking
hands ; Monsieur waits 10 minutes at the caf6 door in
hope of meeting a friend.
HERNE-BAY,---Mr. Hustwit, carpenter to the Herne.
bay Pier Company, while at work beneath the pier, a
few days ago, picked up a packet of papers, tied together
with a tarred twine, which appeared to have) een in the
water B,ome time, and "sanded." The pier-master, on
finding,contain documents belonging to some ships
it to _
war, immediately placed them in the hands of Lieut.
Coppin, at the Coastguard-station, when, upon further
examination, they were found to be papers belonging to
ran less than 15 vessels of war, among which were the
Wellington, Waterloo, and Victory. Hew they came
to be taken so little care of, or who consigned them to
the custody of Neptune, at present remains a mystery.
1 They were forwarded to the Admiralty.—Kentiot, ob.
