VEALE V. ATTWOOD.

This was an action in which the plaintiff, who is a
farmer, sought to recover back from the defendant, who
is an auctioneer and appraiser, the amount of certain al-
leged overcharges paid in respect of a distress for rent.—
Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 451.

JONES, GENT., V. ...... JONES, ESQ.

This was an action of assault, growing out of an elec-
tion squabble. The parties met in the street, when the
plaintiff, showing the defendant a letter, asked him if he
knew anything of it? The defendant said he did not;
upon which the defendant replied (according to the plain-
tiff's witnesses), "You are a liar;" or (according to the
defendant's witnesses), " If you sanctioned that state-
ment, you are guilty of a lie." Three witnesses swore to
one of these phrases, and three to the other. Whichever
it was, the plaintiff rejoined, " You are a liar ;"
on which the defendant struck him a blow on the side of
the head, which knocked off his hat. A short scuffle
then took place, and the parties were separated. The
plaintiff was stated to be only " five feet long," whilst
the defendant was sworn to be about 5 feet 10 inches.
No hurt or bruise of any kind was inflicted.—Verdict for
the plaintiff, damsges 101.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEB. 4.

ROBINSON V. ➢EBENHAM AND OTHERS.

In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when
our reporter left the Court, the Jury found a verdict for
the plaintiff—Damages 2001.

SMALL V. ATTWOOD.

Mr. KNIC LIT, for the plaintiff, moved that Phoebe Att-
wood should be ordered to transfer into Court, within a
week, the sum of 192,7661., now standing in the funds
in the name of Phoebe Atwood, and also the dividends
received on this sum since the injunction issued by this
Court, in the case of Small v. Attwood, by which the
funds in the case were impounded and restrained. After
stating the particulars of the case, Mr. Knight concluded
by saying that he hoped his Lordship would consider that
the money thus transferred was affected by his Lordship's
injunction, and would order that it should be brought
into Court.

Mr. SIMPKINSON, for the defendant, said that the
proper mode to meet this application, if the defendant
were in a situation to adopt it, would be to give notice of
a motion to dissolve the injunction. No danger could
arise from the delay, as the injunction restrained the trans-
fer of the stock, and Mrs. Attwood was willing to take an
order to pay over the dividends as she received them. It
was her intention to bring the whole case again before his
Lordship, and it was impossible that it could be brought
on properly till the answer of John Attwood was obtained,
which could not be put in while the action for scandal
and impertinence against him was pending.
Lord LYNDHURST thought the motion had better stand
over till the exceptions were argued.
Mr. KNIGHT could not accede to such an arrangement.
He hoped his Lordship would consider that Mrs. Attwood
was now upwards of 76 years of age, and in the event of
her death happening while this transaction was pending,
it would occasion great delay and inconvenience.
His LORDSHIP would grant the order to pay the funds
into Court, and if he should be of opinion, on the re-
hearing of the case, that the order should not issue, why
then the funds might be paid out.

CONSISTORY COURT, FEB. 4.

THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY VIVIAN

AGAINST WILLIAMS AND HIBURN.

Al tides were in this case exhibited by the Rev. Dr.
Vivian, the incumbent of the united parishes of St. Au-
gustine and Sr. Faith, in the city of London, against Mr.
William Williams and Mr. William Hiburn, the church-
wardens of St. Augustine, for obstructing the organist.
The articles now stood for admission.

The case was of no public importance, and was or-
dered to stand over till next Court day.

BROWNE V. BROWNE.

The libel in this case was admitted, Mr. Browne not
obj,,eting, admitting the marriage, but otherwise contesting
the suit negatively.

COURT OF EXCISE, FEB. 4.

THE ICING V. STAPLES.

John Staples, otherwise Stapleton, was charged upon
an excise information, containing several counts, varying
the offence, for unlawfully manufacturing and illegally
removing and concealing soap, with intent to defraud
the revenue, and for which offence he had subjected him-
self to a penalty of 5001.
The CommissioNEßs gave judgment against the de-
fendant (who did not appear when called upon), con-
demning the whole of the goods seized to the use of the
Crown, and inflicting a mitigated penalty of 1251.

BRADFORD MARKET.— At this market,
last Thursday, there was a great deal of business done i❑
stuff goods. In wool, however, the transactions were
not so very large, on account of the very high prices de-
manded by the woolstaplera.....//u,ifax Express.

The Professor acknowledged that the Head now under
his manupilation was the most complete poser he had ever
met with, owing to the excessive development of some of
the most important, but opposing organs. Every one at all
acquainted with 11Ir. Deville, know him to be one of the
kindest-hearted men in the world, but although always un-
willing to give the slightest offence, his candour and zeal for
the cause of his science, compel him often to tell unplea-
sant truths. It is usual with him generally to commence
with that portion of the head in which the moral feelings re-
side, and it is rarely he meets with a skull so bad but he finds
however some individual organ to praise, and thus, by a man-
ner peculiar to himself, he wins the affections of those who
consult him, before he turns to the posterior region, or
that in which the baser propensities dwell. In the present
instance he expatiated with peculiar admiration on the
extraordinary size of the organ of marvellousness, or that
which gives the belief in supernatural existence, but ex-
pressed great fear that, if it was not kept under very care-
ful control, instead of assisting, with some other organs
which he named, in giving that proper religious feeling
which ought to exist in every man, and particularly in a
candidate for a seat in Parliament, Mr. Deville expressed
great apprehension that it would fit the gentleman's ora-
torical powers (which he gave him credit for possessing),
better for a stand on a barrel head to preach the doctrine
of " The Tongues," than for a seat in Parliament.
After paying a just compliment to the development of
benevolence, and several of the intellectual organs, the
Learned Professor heaved a deep sigh, as if deploring the
circumstance that nature should allow no human organiza-
tion to be perfec'. He placed his well-practiced band low
down on the back of the head directly on the spot known
to be largely developed in the bull, and in which phrene-
logiqs asstgn the seat of amatory feeling, whispered some-
thing in the ear of the candidate, who blushed, not as we
thought the blush of conscious innocence, and hastily
retired.

We hope to be favoured with the result of the exami-
nation of the other two candidates next week.

(The Phrenelogieal Examination of the Hem's of the
other two Candidates will be given in Merle's Weekly
Register on Sunday next.)

ILFORD PETTY SESSION, FEB. 2.

A WEALTHY PAUPER.

Thomas Deasley, an aged man, complained to the Bench
that the parish officers of Walthatnstow refused to give him
relief.

Mr. May, the assistant overseer, said that the applicant
and his wife had been receiving parochial relief, from time
to time, for upwards of a twelvemonth ; but, in conse-
quence of their latterly discovering that he had 2001. or
3001. in the Bank, they refused to give him any further aid.
Deisley denied the truth of this statement, but on being
requested by Mr. May to swear if such was not the fact,
and the book being handed to him for that purpose, he
declined to take it, and the Chairman and Magistrates in
consequence directed that he should not have a penny snore
of the parochial funds.
Caroline Childs, a young woman, 19 years of age, at-
tended before a Bench of Magistrates, at the Angel Inn,
Ilford, to have her examination taken as to the place of
her legal settlement, and to affiliate a child, to which she
expects to give birth. On being sworn, she briefly stated,
that Mr. William Jenkins, the master of the infant school
at Watthamstow was the father. In her cross-examination
the witness said she had lived for nine years in the family
of Mr. Jenkins, but i❑ March last went to reside at en
infant school at Mursley, in Buckinghamshire. During
the time she lived with Mr. Jenkins, that gentleman
never offered to take the slightest liberties with her, though
he had had abundant opportunities to do so. On the 20th
of June, Mr. Jenkins, whom the witness thought to be at
least 60 years of age, came to the house of Mr. Conyers,
where she lived, and on the night of the following day,
between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock, after supper, he
came into the parlour, where she was ; the result was her
present condition. She thought it very odd that he should
have acted so, both from his age, and his never before
having offered her the slightest impropriety. Had a
sweetheart named Burbridge, a footman, who used to call
on her as her lover. She might have represented him as
a relation, but he was not so. He called on her in May,
and stopped two days, but he never acted improperly with
her, nor bad any person but Mr. Jenkins. (The witness
here went into fits, and was obliged to be carried out of
Court.)
The CHaraarax (R. J. Brassey, Eq.) observed, as
there would be abundant opportunities to sift the case
when an order of affiliation after birth would be sought
for, or, if thought necessary, on an appeal at the quarter
sessions, it was unnecessary to pursue it any further in
the present stage.
An attorney, who appeared for the defendant, said his
client bad a large family, was 64, years of age, and had al-
ways borne the highest character for morality. He was
suspended from a lucrative situation till his innocence
in this matter should be proved, which he had no doubt
would be completely done on a future day.—Essex
Mercury.

SIGN Or TILE TI M ES.— The Rev. Mr.
HALL, Rector of Billinge, near Wigan, Lancashire, no
longer able conscientiously to retain his connection with
a State Church, has resigned his living, worth GOO/. a
year.—Halifax Express.
An American Paper, of January, says, Gen.
BLAIR, of South Carolina, has again disgraced himself by
an outrage on the public peace. Last night, at the
theatre, he fired off a pistol loaded with ball, and the oh-
ject aimed at was the stage, on which an interesting
sytoruuncgk ltandey, floorl‘lwnje near feet
ON was performing. The hall
of Mr. PALMER, who was
on the stage at the same time. I fear to add more, lest I
should draw down too just indignation against the state
of the police in the city of 'Washington. The truth,
however, must be told. The ruffim, after parading h's
pistols, frightening the ladies, who ran shrieking from
the house, and defying the police-officers, actually went
home without having been arrested, and has not indeed
been taken to this hour. He condescended, however,
at the request of his friends, to give up his alms, which
consisted of four pistols, two dirks, and a Spanish knife.
