(Sittings at Nisi Rills, at Westminster, before the LORD
CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury.)
ANDREWS V. lIATLEY.
This action was brought io recover compensation in da-
mages for injuries sustained by the plaitififf through the
alleged negligence of the defendant.

Mr. Bovill appeared fur the plaintiff, and Mr. Bramwell
and alr. IW'ill-110re conducted the de+entiat,t's case.
The facts were simply these :—The pla ntiff carried on the
business of a laandres., and let out furnished lodgings, at her
house in King- street, Golden. square, and the diendant was
a greengrocer in the neighbourhood of Cortlaud-market. On
the morning of the 9th of August last the plaintiff
crossing over 11,gent-street towards Conduit-street, and
while in the middle of the road she was knocked town by
the dekridant's cart, and the wheels paned over her
body. After the accident the defendant itinne •
diatelv sto; pcd the horse and had her released
from her perilous position and conveyed in a cab to the hos-
pital. On examination it was found that her arm was
broken, and she remained in I he hospital six weeks, and con-
tinued afterwards to be an out-patient. It appeared from
the evidence that the important limb had been permanently
injured. The present action had therefore been instituted to
recover compensation for the injuries suffered and the loss of
time and expense necessarily incurred-under the circuial-
at ores.

The question in the case ultimately turned on the cred:bility
of evidence, witnesses being called on both sides who differed
in their account as to which party negligence was to be at-
tributed.

It is estimated that the other goods amount in value to
about 16,500/. The previous year they only added up to
11,1641. But these it is unnecessary to give in detail, as,
being of very minor importance, they are not essential for
the general guidance of merchants to base transactions on.
Burr stones and tin plates are the principal; of the former
there are 1,000 pieces, and of the latter 895 boxes.
A meeting of the holders of Spanish Bonds is convened for
to-morrow, to consider the new plan for a settlement of the
debt.

The Learned JUDGE having summed up.

ATTORNEY.GENERAL V. THE LoND..H DOCK COMPANY.
Ttiis ease again occupied the Curt during the whole day.
The evidence for the detente was gone into this morning.

The Funds have been very steady. Consols have
realized 96% 1,4. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been 98% to 5/8. Bank Stock is vr.rth 215
to 21514. Exchequer-bills are marked 54s to 575., being
still rather heavy. There is a manifest inclination to sell
Stocks, and the Unfunded Debt, where parties feel that they
have a better opening in Shares, and this causes money to be
more in demand. For carrying over Consuls to the March
Account as much as 3-16 and 14 per cent, have been asked,
and it is understood that the Balls predominate.
The Foreign Market is rather lively. Spanish Five per
Cents. have been 191,4 to 19%, and the Three per Cents.
38%. Portuguese Four per Ceuta. have been quoted 33%
to 34. Mezica are 33% Ih, and Equador 33A %. Peru-
vian Stock is nea.lected. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
have been 58% 34.
Railway Shares have been very buoyant again, and the
tendency is yet upwards. The dealings have been large, and
Midland and Great Western are in especial favour. The
foreign lines have been a good deal dealt in.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Lord Chief Justice JERvis and
a Common Jury.)
OSBORNE V. CABBUBN.
This was an action brought to recover damages for assault
and false imprisonment. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. H.
Hill appeared for4he plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Shee and
9etr. Hawkins for the defence. From the evidence it appeared
that on the 7th of October the plaintiff, who is a butcher in
Clare-market, went, in company with a friend, to the house
of defendant, who keeps the White Hart public-house, at
King's-cross, and asked for half-a-pint of gin, which he
drank at the bar, for which he tendered in payment a live
shilling piece. 'The barman who served the liquor took this
to his master, the defendant, who was standing by, who de-
clared it to be a bad one; and, after some disturbance, the
plaintiff was ultimately given into custody on a charge of
passing base coin. The plaintiff, however, was dismissed, and
the present action was brought to recover damages for the
false improvement. For the defence it was urged that the
circumstances of the plaintiff's behaviour at the time was
such as to justify the susl icion that he was endeavouring to
pass the coin with a full knowledge that it was bad. All
imputation of that kind was, however, with& awn to-day.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 40s.

The prisoner at first pleaded not guilty; but afterwards
withdrew that plea, and pleaded guilty.
On the 24th of January last the prisoner went to the
Coffee. house in question, and partook of a sumptuous dinner,
whicn he nut only forgot to pay for, but immediately after
he left the shop two silver forks were missing. He was
therefore followed and given into custody.
The pAsener said he had only recently come to London,
on his 18 ay to America, and he was to have received funds
to pay his prisage 'tom a society for relieving Germans.
The RECORDER, under these circumstances, deferred passing
sentence until next session, remarking. that if the society
which had been named would send him to America, they
w•Qld probably be allowed to do 80.
The prisoner was then reino...d.
FELONY BY A PAVrlß.—liobert Wishart, aged 21, de-
scribed as a pipe-maker, was indicted f. .r feloniously break-
ing and entering a building within the curtilage of a
dweliing-house, and stealing therefrom four bird-cages, and
of her articles, valued at tell shillings, the property of i 1 illiam
Ne. man.
The prisoner was one of the out-paupers of St. Luke's
Workhouse, and on the night of the ith of January he c, fi-
trived to break into the relieving office and steal the property
in question.

A fus iner conviction was proved against him, while a book
was found in his possession ill which was a long list of gaols
which he had been au inmate of at different periods of
his lite

The prisoner said be hoped the Court would deal leniently
with him and give him a short im, risonment, as he was pat-
ticularly auxious to see the Great Exhibition. It the Court
would do that, he would stave in future to become a bet ter
member of society. He would never have been in trouble at
all had it not been for poverty, and he was very much afraid
he was piosecutedon this occasion not so much for the offence
he was, said to have committed, as tyr having written seven
letters to the Poor-law Bo .rd, finding fault with the manap,e-
rnent of St. Luke's Workhouse. the fact was, the Govern.
ment guardians furnished the paupers with just sullicient, and
no more, to keep life together. aid the consequence Was, they
were often driven into crime to avert absolute starvation. In
proof of this he maintained that he was the eighth urinate of
St. Luke's Workhouse, who had stood at that bar within the
last twelve months charged with felony at th. 3 instance of
the guardians.
The RECORDS 2 told him that he was a dangerous cha-
racter, whom society would be well rid of; and seutenced
him to be transported for seven years.

by both names), by means of a bill drawn upon Messrs. Bar-
nett and Williams, navy agents, he representing that such

The bill, upon being presented, was dishonoured, but it ap-
pearing that the parties upon whom the bill was drawn were
his agents, that some of his cheques had been paid, whilst
others had been refused, and there being no evidence to show
that the prisoner (who had been cruizing in the Mediteranean)
was aware that he could not draw upon them any longer,
the jury Acquitted him upon the charge of fraud.
