LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.

QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Camp
bell, Justices Coleridge, Wightman, and Crompton.)

DUNBAR V. SMIIRTHWAITE.

Sir F. Thesiger moved for a rule to show cause why
a new trial should not be granted in this case on the
ground of misdirection, and that the verdict was against
evidence. The action was tried at Guildhall, before
Lord Campbell, when a ♦erdict was given fcr the de-
tendaut. The action was brought to recover the value
of certain goods which had been shipped on board the
defendant's barque, the Sovereign, bound for San Fran-
cisco, and for freight pnid on advance on such goods,
it being alleged the vessel was lost in consequence of her
unseaworthiness at the commencement of the voyage,
and that fraud had been practised on Ow plaintiff by
deceiving him as to her being out of class at Lloyd's.
Rule granted.
CASHELL V. WRIGHT.—INNKEEPER'S LIABILITY.

Mr. Hill, Q.C. moved for a rule to show cause in
this case why ;he verdict should not be set aside,
and a new trial had on the ground of misdirec-
tion. The action was tried at the Local Court of Re-
cord at Manchester, before the learned Recorder of that
place, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff for 251.
damages. The facts of the case are these :—The plain-
tiff is a commercial man, and the defendant an innkeeper
of Manchester. The plaintiff stopped at the de-
feadant's house, and on going to bed left his
watch and ring on the dressing table, but
omitted to close the bedroom doer. In the night the
boots admitted two persons, and showed them to sopa-
parate rooms. In the morning the plaintiff missed the
articles, and on an inquiry being made it was found that
one of the above persons had not been to bed, nor could
he be found. Subsequently that person was apprehended
for the robbery, tried, and convicted. The action ie
question was brought to recover from the defendant the
value of the articles lost, On the trial of that action
it was contended the defendant was not liable, on the
ground of negligence on the plaintiff's part in not fasten.
ing his bedroom door ; but the lear led judge ruled that
the negligence, to relieve the defendant, must be gross
negligence on the part of the plaintiff, and on that
ruling the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff with
251. damages.
Rule granted.

COMMON PLEAS.
(Sittings in Banco—Before Lord Chief Justice Jervis,
Justices, Cresswell, Crowder, and Willes.)
HAWKER Y. SRAM?, BART., CRIM CON.
Mr. Slade, Q.C., moved for a rule for a new trial in
this case on the ground of surprise. It will be recol-
lected that this was an action brought by a gentleman of
Plymouth, against the defendant for criminal conver,a-
lion with the plaintiff's wife, and was tried before Mr.
Justice Crowder, at the Michaelmas after term sittings,
at Westminster, when a verdict was returned for the
plaintiff, damages one hundred pounds. On the trial
two of the witnesses, a Mrs. Spurting and her servant,
Parin de Marchie, swore that the defendant visited the
plaintiff's wife
,at her lodging on West Hoe, and it was
there the latter witness deposed the criminal intercourse
took place. The learned counsel stated that in his affi-
davits he was enabled to contradict the statements of
the above witnesses by Mrs. Hawker's servant maid,
Sir Henry Seale's affidavit, and those of others, the
latter showing in his affidavit and those of others that be
never stayed late at the above place with Mrs. Hawker,
and only visited her as an ordinary acquaintance. The
witnesses would deny distinctly the evidence of the two
witnesses abovesnamed called by the plaintiff.
Rule granted.'

POLICE INVELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

SOTJTHWARK.

OTTRAGE ON A FEMALE IN THE SiTEREY THEATRE.—
James Sydenham, and Richard Readon, two rough-look-
ing men, were brought before Mr. Combe charged with
committing an assault of an outrageous nature upon
Frances Jones, in the pit of the Surrey Theatre.
The complainant, the wife of a respectable tradesman
in the Broadway, Ludgate-hill, stated that last evening
■he went to the Surrey Theatre with a lad to witness the
performances. The pit being extremely full, she and
the lad had to stand on the seat, and in the eourse of the
evening the prisoners came and stood near her, Syden-
ham then put one arm round her waist and indecently
touched her person. She told him not to repeat the in-
deucy, when he again assaulted her, and on her turning
round to expostulate with his, Readon struck her a
violent blow on the side. The officers of the theatre
came to her assistance, and they were both taken into
custody. Sydenham also struck the lad because he
called out fur assistance.

Henry Peckham, the constable employed in the theatre,
said his attention was attracted last evening to a disturb
ance in front of the .pit, and on his going there the pri-
soners were pointed out to him as having assaulted Mrs.
Jones. They were under the influence of liquor, and
were with some difficulty removed frens the theatre.
In answer to the charge Sydenham said he had no
intention of indecently assaulting the female. The
theatre was so full that he could nut help falling against
her, and he only put his hands on her to save her from
falling. Readon said he had no recollection of striking
the female.

Mr. Combe said that they were ruffianly fellows, and
be should fine Sydenbarn 455., and Radon 405., or two
months hard labour each in the House of Correction.

(Signe) OMER.
A. son Excellence le General Sir J. Simpson,
G.C.8., Commandant-en-Chef l'Armee
Allglalße en Orient.

Sebastopol, January 1, 1856.
My Lord, --I have the honour to enclose Dr. Hall's
weekly report, dated 31st December, 1855, and have
great pleasure in calling your Lordship's attention to
the very satisfactory state of the general health of this
army, which is therein detailed. —I have, &c.,
(Signed) W. J. CODRINGTON,
General Commanding.
The Lord Paninure,

Head-Quarters, Camp, Crimea,
December 31, 1855.
Sir,—l have the honour to report the weekly state of
sick to the 29th instant. The health of the army con-'
tinues very satisfactory ; there is an absence of serious'
disease, and although the admissions under the head
chest affections and frost bite are numerous, it is satis-
factory to know that the former are, for the most part,
merely simple catarrhs, and the latter slight vesications
of the fingers, toes, and tips of the ears. The few se-
rious cases there are were all occasioned by exposure
when drunk.
The Land Transport Corps does not enjoy the same
health that the troops do, and more than one-half of the
deaths which have occurred during the week have taken
place in that corps alone. Under the head of fever, one-
third of the admissions and two-thirds of the deaths were
in the Land Transport Corps ; that is 65 out of 182 ad-
missions, and 11 deaths out of 15, leaving only four for
the whole Army, which is as great an exemption from
salons febrile disease as can well be expected.
The diminution of bowel complaints in the Army
is equally remarkable, and here again three out of the
seven deaths which occurred took place in the Laud
Transport Corps. It is difficult to account for this
disparity of health between this corps and the mili-
tary, as they are as well fed and clothed as the soh
diers, and of late they have certainly not been over-
worked. Numbers of men have recently joined the
corps, and as they get better organised matters will
doubtless
improve.,Nearly one-half of the force is com-
posed not of the Crimea, but of Asia Minor,
and h
and they bear the winter ill.
