LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

(Before the Lord Coief Baron and a common jury
KBAFFT V. PANTON-EXECUTOR.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a fish-
monger, who formerly carried on business in the neigh-
bourhood of King's-cross, to recover 601. Bs. 6d. of the
defendant, executor of a person named Penton, who re-
sided at Elysium Cottae, Old Kent-road, for work aed
labour as servant, &c., to Panton, the deceased.
From the evidence of the plaintiff, it appeared that the
deceased was a man of very intemperate habits, and
when under the influence of drink used to have recourse
to strange modes of amusement, one of which was c ti-
ling in German bands to delight him with their discord-
ant strains, for he invariably well supplied them with
drink, made them drunk, and frequently ended with a
row. The disorderly state of the house was the remark
of the neighbourhood. The evidence of the plaintiff
showed the disgraceful state of profligacy and immo-
rality on the part of himself and the inhabitants of the
house, and drew forth the condemnation of the Lord
Chief Baron. The plaintiff said that the deceased slept
with a Mrs. Markham, who was his housekeeper, and
that he slept with Kate Brown, the housekeeper, his
deceased wife's sister, by whom he had had a child that
was now dead, but whom he was prevented from marry-
ing by the laws of the country.
Several other witnesses were called to prove the terms
upon which the plaintiff lived with the defendant, among
whom was

Police-constable 93 P, who deposed that during the
lifetime of Mr. Panton he was called in several nights a
week to quell the disturbances in Elysium-cottage, and
on those occasions he informed the witness that Krafft
was living with him and to take care of him, and he used
to call him his "Captain" and "General," and that he paid
him for his services. lie was the only ntan he (Panton)
could depend on to take care of himself and his house.
Witness never saw Krafft drunk.

In his cross-examination by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine,

for the defendant, he said that he had sat down in his
uniform, and had a glass of grog with Mr. Panton,
when Krafft, Mrs. Markham, Kate Brown, and Krafft's
daughter were present.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine —You had a very comfortable
beat. You don't get so well treated now I suppose ?
Witness—Not quite.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Did you report to your
inspector your mode of quelling these disturbances ?
Wituess—Not always. (Laughter.)
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—That you sat down corn..
fortable to your glass of grog ? (Laughter.)
Witness—l did not tell him that. (Renewed laughter.)
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Did you take a pipe with
your glass on these occasions !
Witness—Yes, but I never smoked much.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—But of what use, then, was
the pipe ?

Witness—To accommodate Mr. Pantos. (Laughter.)
Mr. Sergeant Ballantme—But you put the pipe to
your mouth, didn't you ?

Witness—Yes.

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—But you did not smoke ?

Witness—Not always.

Mr. Sergeant Ballautine—You have a good voice, I
believe ?

• IVitness—Yes; I went there once when off duty, and
accommodated Mr. Panton with a song. (Loud
laughter.)

Mr, James (plaintiff's counsel)—yon have always
some acquaintances, I suppose, on your beat—cooks, or
somebody of that kind !

Witness--Oh, yes. (Laughter.)
Mr. James—And no doubt you find it very comfort•
able ?

Witness—Yes. (Continued laughter.)
On the suggestion of his lordship, a juror was with
drawn, and the case terminated.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before Lord Campbell and a Common Jury.)
WESTBROOK V. ARMSTRONG.
This was an action for an assault, and the second
count alleged that the plaintiff and defendant were
partners, and agreed to dissolve, the defendant paying
to the plaintiff certain sums at specified times, which
the defendant had not fulfilled. The defendant first
pleaded justification of the assault, and that the defen-
dant first assaulted the defendant ; secondly, that the
plaintiff was in the defendant's room making a disturb.
ance, and that the defendant used no more violence than
was necessary and lawful in ejecting him from his room.
The defendant having, since the action, paid the money
into court, pleaded that it was paid, and on that ground
no evidence was given on that plea. There was a re-
plication that the defendant had used an excess of vio-
lence in turning the plaintiff out of the room, to
which was pleaded a rejoinder that no more
vinlence was used than was necessary. It ep•
peared that the plaintiff and defendant were solici-
tors. In 1847 they entered into partnership together,
and carried on business in Guildhall-chambers. The
partnership was not of that flourishing character the
plaintiff anticipated, and he complainedof the defendant's
conduct to him. In May, 1855, they agreed to dis-
solve, the defendant to pay the plaintiff 1551. for the
partnership business by instalments. On 19th May,
1856, 251. became due, under the agreement. After
applying to the defendant for payment of the sum, the
plaintiff received 101. on account, and ultimately the
7th July was appointed for the payment of the balance,
151. The plaintiff then called on the defendant at his
chambers on that day, and after waiting for some
time he was informed ley the defendant that he
could not pay him. That led to unpleasant
words passing between them, and the plaintiff, seeing
a diamond ring on the defendant's finger, worth about
201., suggested that he should raise money on it with
which to pay him. Other words of an unpleasant cha
racter followed, on which the defendant, according to the
plaintiff's statement, seized him by the collar, tore his
neckcloth, and struck him several violent blows. It was
on this point that the difference of statement arose, the
defendant contending that he was justified in what be
did from the violent conduct of the plaintiff, and to eject
him from his office.

By the suggestion of the learned Judge a juror was
withdrawn.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonbianque.)
IN RE J W. OOLE.

TIIE DAVIDSON AND GORDON FRAUDS.—'Tie morning
a private meeting was held under the estate of this
bankrupt, who stands convicted of forgery and fraud,
in connection with Davidson and Gordon.

---
The bankrupt was brought up in custody, but the
examination was strictly private, and was understood to
he with a view of ascertaining how some warrants had
been disposed of.

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH FOR THE PERSIAN GULF.—
It is with much satisfaction that we are enabled to state
that her Majesty's Government have given their ap-
proval to the proposal for laying down a telegraph cable
in the Persian Gulf, and by connecting it with that
alrewiy laid down in the Mediterranean, placing the
whole of Europe in direct communication with Asia.
The project is still under consideration at the East India
House, but we cannot suppose that a measure of so much
importance will be in any way delayed by the Leaden-
hall-street authorities.—From Grindlay's Home News
for India.
NEW POSTAL TREATY WITH FRANCE.—TIIO /1/01IitClir
of yesterday contains an imperial decree, promulgating
a new postal convention between France and England.
The instrument, which contains 33 articles, was signed
on the 24th of September and ratified on the 18th of
November last. It provides for two exchanges per diem
of letters, newspapers, &c., between the Post-offices of
the two countries, the British Government granting a
subvention to one service of steamboats and the French
another to the other. Powers are also given under which
the Post-office of either country may require captains of
vessels proceeding from a port of one country to the
other to carry a mail. In the case of war between the
two countries the postal communications are not to be
interfered with without prior notice, duly served. The
passing through France

THE GREAT BULLION ROBBERY.—The: South-Eastern
Railway Company had such great confidence Burgess,
the guard in whose charge most of the gold di:st "Ler,
that line came to London, that they had never thoui:Eß
of requiring a guarantee for his fidelity, although, we
understand, that most of their station-masters, booking
clerks, and other officials have deposited the policies of
"The People's Provident Assurance Society." Surely
this circumstance will lean to the system of security
becoming general. The value of such security is un-
questionable, and we understand that the society above
referred to has already realised a revenue of more than
50,0001. per annum from guarantee and life business,
and that its rate of increase is nearly 10,0001. per
annum.
