LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TTITS DAY.)

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr and a Jury.)

PUBLIC SALES AND COLONIAL PRODUCE-IMPORTANT
VERDICT-SAMUELS V. MYERS.

This was an action to recover £l2 ss. 10d., being the
difference between £3O Bs. 11d., the result of a first, and
.ElB 35., the result of a second sale of some shells.
Mr. Tindal Atkinson said that this was a question touch-
ing the businesses of the whole of the importers of foreign
and colonial produce in England. In August last year
plaintiff received per Asia, Walker, from Penang, 102
baskets of green snail shells, which were warehoused in the
London Docks. Plaintiff selected from the bulk such shells
as he required in his business, and the residue was formed
into 24 baskets. Now this lot of 24 baskets was duly in-
serted in a catalogue of a sale by Messrs. Corrie and Co.,
of Mincing-lane, to be held Aug. 25 last. The lot was
entered "On show—per Asia, Walker, from Penang--24
baskets green snail shells." Defendant bid for this lot at

the sale seven farthings per shell, and this amounted to £3B

Bs. 11d. Something came to his car which induced him to
repudiate his bargain, and the lot was again inserted in
catalogue, with the addition of " With all faults." Again
did defendant become the purchaser, and this time at a price
of £lB 3s. Id. Plaintiff now sought to recover the balance.
Mr. Corrie proved the two sales, and in answer to Mr.
Lewis, sen., said that making assortments of produce rested
entirely with the importer.
The warehouseman from the London Docks said, in hib
experience he had never known shells to be sorted before by
the importer. The Dock Company, under orders, did so
sometimes.
Mr. Lewis theesaid that he based his defence upoa mis-
description and fraud.

His Honour thought the last word should not be used.
Mr. Lewis then went on to say that plaintiff had sorted
the shells, and, taking all the best, left defendant all the
worst. When defendant saw the lot in the catalogue he
took them for unassorted green snail shells.
Several brokers were called, who deposed that they
should understand the catalogue as notifying green snail
shells unassorted.

In cross-examination, they all said that in buying for
principals they should feel it their duty to go and view the
goods.

Defendant was called, and said that the impression upon
his mind upon reading the catalogue was that he was going
to buy unassorted green snail shells.
Cross-examined—Did not go to the docks to view the
goods. Trusted to the catalogue. Never knew shells to be
assorted except on certain occasions. The catalogues were
frequently issued at ten, and the sale came off at twelve, and
thus there was only time for a cursory view,
Mr. Atkinson then asked the jury if they would affirm
the proposition laid down by defendant? "May not a
man," said the learned counsel, " a merchant and importer,
do as he pleases with his own goods ? If you, as gentlemen
and traders say ho may not, I will show you how it will
work. Suppose you import a quantity of goods, and that
in transit the top layers in the packages became crushed
and damaged, leaving the bottom ones perfect. Well, you
will not be able to remove that top layer, and will have
to sell the whole bulk as damaged." Mr. Atkinson
then touched upon tho law of the case, and
said defendant bought the goods with his eyes
open, and had the article, which was worth the first price
oven now.

His Honour then put the law to the jury, and said it was
for them to say if defendant had exercised due caution in
the purchase.' If the article was worth £lO,OOO now that
would make no difference in a case where mis-description
existed. The question for the jury was, if defendant, un-
derstanding, "On show—per Asia, Walker, from Penang
—24 baskets green snail-shells," to mean unassorted shells,
was justified in buying under that impression, and in re
pudiating the bargain when he discovered they wore
assorted.

The jury found for plaintiff.
His Honour allowed costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SAVAGE ASSAULTS ON A PARLIAMENTARY AGENT
AND oTuEns.—John Marjory, a tall powerful-looking
man, a discharged soldier from India, was charged before
Mr. Beadon with the following savage assaults :
Mr. John Curling, 18, Abingdon-street East, a Parlia-
mentary agent, said that a little before six the previous
evening he was in one of the Great Western omnibuses,
having got in at Holborn. Three men were also inside, of
whom the prisoner was one, and it was with difficulty he
(complainant) could keep his seat owing to the men rolling
about, they being evidently all very drunk. He complained
the conductor, but as they were going to get out at the
Regent-circus, he thought it better to remain quiet.
Arrived at the Regent-circus, Oxford-street, he beckoned
to a constable, as he wished to post a letter, and the pri-
soner and another got up to get out, and as they were doing
so he said to the other man, who rolled against him, that
the next time he got in an omnibus it was to be
hoped he would to sober. The prisoner then used the
grossest language towards him, and said he would
knock his " —head off," and followed it up by giving him
a violent blow in the eye and another on the side, and not
satisfied with this, seized him by the shoulder and dug his
knee into his stomach with all the force the confined space
of the omnibus would allow. The prisoner was then pulled
out of the omnibus, and on his (Mr. Curling) getting out
he (prisoner) again attacked him and others. There were
ladies in the omnibus at the time, and they were greatly
frightened at the prisoner's conduct.

The prisoner said he was totally drunk.
Sergeant Glass said there was another person who had
been assaulted, and Mr. Boadon ordered the person to be
sworn.

Robert Hodgson, 10, Bentinck-street, messenger, said he
was called to assist the constable, 90 C, and the prisoner
kicked him several times, once in a delicate part, and from
which he still suffered very great pain, and was very un-
well.

THE GREAT SHIP COMPAN.

ADJOURNED MEETING.—(THIS DAY.)
The adjourned meeting of the proprietors in the Great Ship
Company was held this afternoon at the London Tavern, for
the purpose of receiving the report of the scrutineers, ap-
pointed to take the votes at the last meeting on Mr. Hawes's
amendment to the report of the directors.

Mr. Curling said the prisoner said he had been in India
and engaged in battles, and had been wounded, and ho
thought perhaps that might have some effect on his con-
duct, as he was so very violent.
Sergeant Glass said the prisoner was a discharged soldier
from India, and it took five or six to hold him down. He
also attempted to cut his throat at the station.

Mr. Beadon having animadverted on the prisoner's con-
duct, fined him £5, or two months' imprisonment.
Mr. Curling said he thought it very improper of the con-
ductor to let such people into the omnibus.
Mr. Beadon said a communication should be made to the
proprietors. It was reprehensible of a conductor to have
let the man into the omnibus at all.

THAMES.
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST TWO POLICE-CONSTABLES.
—Mary Ann Brown, a married woman, aged 27, who
stated that she was the wife of a costErmongor, and residing
at 109, Royal Mint-street (alias Rosemary-lane)) applied to
Mr. Yardley for summonses against two police-constables
named John Brown, 186 H, and Alfred Clemente, 210 H,
for committing a violent assault upon her, dragging her
from her house and falsely imprisoning her on the morning
of the Bth inst.

A police-sheet containing the charge of assault pre-
ferred by Brown on the 9th instant was put before
the magistrate. The woman was charged with assault-
ing Brown while in the execution of his duty, at half-
past four o'clock on the morning of the Bth instant. Mr.
Selfo, after a long investigation, came to the conclusion
that Brown had acted most improperly, that he had
assaulted the woman, and that he ought to be reported to
the Commissioners. The magistrate at the same time said
that he had long distrusted Brown, and was not pleased
with his conduct on other oecttaiono. He hoped the Com-
missioners would do their duty.
Mr. Yardley said his colleague bad written upon the
police sheet before him—" I think Brown, 186 H, unworthy
of belief, and that his conduct has been most improper."
Inspector Dendy, of the II division, said that the Com •
missioners had investigated the case.
The complainant said that the two police constables came
to hex house, charged her with robbing a man, and struck
her.

The directors' report, it will be remembered, contained
the resignation of the directors, but the amendment moved
was to the effect that before such resignation be accepted a
committee of investigation be appointed.
At one o'clock Mr. Campbell, the chairman of the board
of directors, entered the room, and called upon the Secre-
tary to state the result of the ballot, which was as follows :
Fon THE AMENDMENT —Number of shareholders, 40 ;
number of shares, 42,822; number of votes, 1,707. Proxies
—Number of shareholders, 176; number of shares held,
'14,692; number of votes, 2,164. Total number of share-
4olders, 216; number of shares held, 67,515; number of
votes, 3,871.

In answer to a question, the witness said both constables
struck her.

AGAINST THE AMENDMENT.—Number of shareholders,
153; number of shares held, 37,355; number of votes,
.!,681. Proxies—Number of shareholders, 325; number of
.hares held, 32,389; number of votes, 2,238. Total—
NTumber of shareholders, 478; number of shares held,
69,744 ; number of votes, 4,919.

Mr. Yardley said he would grant separato summonses
against the two policemen. He recollected investigating
another and very serious complaint against Brown. He
dismissed it, but he was by no means satisfied with his con-
duct. He only dismissed the case for want of evidence, or
rather owing to the inconclusive nature of the evidence.
The case against the two constables would, he was happy to
say, be heard by a magistrate who had no prejudices—who
had not prejudged the matter.
Mr. Livingstone, the chief usher—lt is the earnest wish
of your colleague, Mr. Selfe, that you should hear the case.
Mr. Yardley—Very well, I don't mind. Bring all the
light you can to the case on both sides, Mr. Dandy.
Inspector Dendy—l will, sir.

Mr. J. Orrell Lever, M.P. for Galway, accompa-
nied by Mr. O'Beirne and other gentlemen, paid a length-
ened visit to the Graat Eastern last Saturday, and minutely
inspected the vessel throughout.
