COURT OP EXCHEQUER.

(Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Martin, Chan-
nell, and Bramwell.)
mANSELL V. THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.
Mr. Bovill, Q.C., on the part of the defendant, moved
for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be
granted in this case, on the ground that the verdict was
against the evidence. The action was one for com-
pensation against the Eastern Counties Railway Company
for the injuries the plaintiff had sustained by the breaking
of one of the wheels of a train, near Tottenham, some time
ago, by which a number of passengers were seriously injured.
After that a verdict was given for plaintiff; and it was to
set aside that decision the present application was made.
A very large sum of money depends upon the issue of the
application.
The Court took time to consider its decision.'
In the other courts the business did not possess the
lightest public interest.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TIII8 DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

FALLING INTO BAD COMPANY.—George David Badham,
a clerk, residing at 2, Devonshire-terrace, Kensington, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows :

Gordon, 336 A, said that at a quarter to six on the previous
evening he found the defendant in Oxenden-street, totally
incapable of taking care of himself, and greatly intoxicated.
He complained to him that a fighting man had taken some
of his money from him, and at the time there were five or
six men fighting who should have the defendant. He there-
fore, with the view of taking care of him, took him into ous-
t° 4y, and found on him five id-notes and other money and
a watch and chain.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said the officer seemed not only to have
taken care of the defendant and his money, but to have
saved him in all probability from a beating also.
The defendant complained that he had lost several
pounds.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said if he would go into bad company he
must expect it. He should discharge him, but as the offi-
cer seemed to have some clue to the man he had better go
with him.

Maria Ailgate, a shabbily attired female, was brought
before Mr. Tyrwhitt under the following circumstances :
The woman was brought before Mr. Beadon on Tuesday,
having been remanded, charged with attempting to commit
suicide, when the sitting magistrate discharged her, giving
her ss. from the poor box, as she was in a very distressed
condition. She appeared to have made very bad use of the
money, for on Wednesday she was brought before him
again for drunkenness, but discharged, and she was now
brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a similar charge.
Defendant said she was the daughter of an officer in the
army, and her mother was a teacher of the pianoforte, and
she could not help it.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said she was clearly a person not to be
pitied.

The defendant exclaimed—" Pray, kind Magistrate, do
discharge me this time ; I have been well brought up."
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should do so, but he saw no hope
for her.

THAMES.
SANGUINARY AFFRAY BETWEEN Two SPANIARDS.—
Carlo Montua, a morose-looking Spaniard, with a very low
forehead and hair bristling on his head like a hedgehog,
was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with cutting and
wounding Valentinus Affilianus, whose head was enve-
loped in curial bandages. His person and clothes were
covered with gore.

It appeared that the two Spaniards were seamen, living
in the same house in Neptune-street, Wellclose-square,
and they were wrangling together yesterday afternoon
and afterwards commenced fighting and scratching each
other. The quarrel ceased for a time. In the course of
the evening some music was being played before the house
where the parties lived, but the concord of sweet
sounds, instead of soothing the savage breasts of
the belligerents, aroused them to fresh fury, and
they fought again and seised each other's hair. The
prisoner got the worst of this dastardly and un-English
mode of fighting, and then had recourse to the knife. He
procured a long carving knife, with which he attacked his
countryman with great fury, and stabbed him several times
on the head with it. The wounds were severe but not
dangerous. He lost a deal of blood.

The prisoner said he was in liquor, but was first struck
by the complainant.

Mr. Selfe commented on the savage conduct of the pH.
soner, and fined him £5, and in default two months' impri.
sonment.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply of beasts here to-day was considerably on the
increase. All breeds met a dull inquiry, at a decline in the
quotations, compared with Monday, of 2d per 81bs. We
were seasonably well supplied with sheep. Prime Downs
and half-breds supported previous rates ; but the value of
other breeds gave way 2d to 4d per 81bs. We have to
report a heavy sale for calves, the supply of which was good,
at 4d per 81bs less money. Pigs moved off steadily, at late
rates ; but mulch cows were a dull inquiry.
