the metal road on to the green sward at the side, the
defendant's dog-cart came into collision with his and up-
set him. He himself was hurt, and had to pay a doe-
tJr's bill, and his do-cart was broken.

As usual in such cases, there was conflicting evidence
for the defence, and it was attempted to show that the
plaintiff was the worse for liquor, and driving very fast.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, after being
locked up nearly all day—damages, 40s.
One or two other causes of an ordinary character were
tried in the course of the day, and the business of the,
assizes was concluded to-night.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—DERBY, MARCH 20. .
(Before Lord Campbell and a Special Jury.)
TOWLE V. REA.
This was an action on the warranty of a horse.
Mr. Mellor, Q.C., and Mr. Field appeared for the
plaintiff ; Mr. Serjeant Hayes and Mr. Brewer for the
defendant.
From the statement of Mr. Mellor, it appeared that
the plaintiff, an attorney residing at Castle Donineton,
in Leicestershire, and fond of hunting, had been attracted
by an advertisement in Bell's Life announcing that
there was at Rea's Repository, in the borough of South-
wark, for sale by private contract, a bay gelding, the
property of a gentleman, quiet to drive and a good
hunter. In consequence of this advertisement the plain-
tiff repaired to the defendant's repository in February,
1855, and was there shown the bay gelding, whose pedi-
gree was stated, upon inquiry being made, to have been
sent to Liverpool, as he had come from a gentleman in
Ireland, and there was some question about the freight.
Upon being pat into a trap, however, he turned very
restive, and could not be made to go until a person, who
was standing about in the yard, took him in band, and
succeeded in driving him pretty quietly. The plaintiff
was still assured that the horse was perfectly sound, and
quiet ; and that if the plaintiff would leave him there
for a few days he would find him all right. The horse
remained at Rea's about 17 days, and was then sent
home to the plaintiff's at Castle Douiagton ; but as soon
as the plaintiff took him out to the hunting field he found
that ho was " a whistler." He at once wrote to the
defendant ; and received in reply a letter informing him
that the defendant had nothing to do with it, for the
money had been paid over to the owner of the horse,
who kept the Red Lion at Bedford, and who turned out
to be the person who had succeeded in making the horse
go quietly at Rea's. It was not, however, now denied
either that the horse was unsound or that a warranty
had been given • but the defence was that the warranty
had been coupled with a condition requiring the horse
to be returned the day after the sale, and the unsound.
ness to be certified by the Veterinary College. The
printed particulars contained, among other matters,
printed in very large type, a notice, printed very small,
that the sale was subject to the cond:itons posted up
upon various parts of the premises ; and the conditions
above-mentioned were found among certain regulations
which were hung up about the premises.
Lord Campbell interposed, and inquired whether that
was the real ground of defence.
Mr. Serjeant Hayes replied that the defendant cer-
tainly contended that those terms were incorporated into
the contract.
Lord Campbell expressed a very clear opinion that
they could not be umsidered as forming part of the con-
tract, unless the attention of the plaintiff was specially
called to them.
A verdict was therefore entered by consent for the
plaintiff for the amount claimed ; and the plaintiff con.
rented to forego all except costs out of pocket.

TILE LATE _ABDUCTION CASE.

EXTRAORDINARY DISCLOSURES.
That the practice of inducing in some and of compell-
ing other instances young females to leave their homes
and natural protectors in this city to supply the trade of
procuresses at Hamburg, has been long and extensively
carried on, is evident from the following additional par-
ticulars of the transaction to which the attention of the
public has been just invoked :—On the morning of her
departure from the house in Goodman's-fields, to which
she had been taken by the Belgian Jewess, Susannah
Evans looked about from the cab, in which she was hur-
ried to the steamer, for a policeman, resolved to claim
the assistance of any official, or indeed of any person
whatever who appeared to be able to rescue her, but not
a being presented himself, and she stepped on board
with the rest as if she entertained no serious objec-
tion to the voyage. The vessel, however, did not
proceed far below Gravesend when the girl's manner, so
strongly contrasted to the bold address of her com-
panions, caught the notice of one of the engineers, who
called her aside, and told her that he regretted to see a
girl of her respectable appearance on her way to join in
so degrading au occupation as that pursued by her a,sso-
ciates. Although she hat felt an instinctive reluctance
to entrust herself to the care of the woman who bad
made her such large promises, she never supposed that
her ruin was to be the condition of the performance,
and she was shocked and terrified at being assured that
she must expect nothing better from her connection with
so abandoned a person. " You seem to be quite the
wrong sort of young woman," said the engineer, "to
take the advice, or submit to the commands, of such a
wretch. You ought not to have anything to do with
her." A passenger on board gave her the same caution,
and the answer which she gave, intimating that she had
expected to be placed in a respectable and industrious
employment, confirmed the belief that she never had
any suspicion of the peril to which she was exposed.
" From the moment I heard what it was the intention
of the woman to do with me," said she, " I never
spoke a word to her or to the girls, or the man who
accompanied her. The captain of the vessel also came
to me and said the same thing, and that the old womae
meant to make a profit of me in the most detestable
way ; and the latter, ..ho sevretcd that toe engi-
neer,
and passenger, and ceotain were advising me to
avoid her, approaehed and ,eted t peretrele !no that all
they sail was a lie, and that I teas to get an excellent
situation upon my arrival. I refused ta have any con-
versation with her, altd I made up my mind not to stir
from the ship until she returned to England. When the
vessel reached Hamburg the engineer carne again to me
and said Now, take my advice, and return with us,
and we will see that yon have freo passage hack.' The
old woman then interfered, took me by the arm, and
said, 'Don't believe them, but come with me, and you
will he comfortable and happy.'
The teiegraphic message sent on the mornine, Mr.
Evans made his complaint, by Sir R. W. Carden, having
informed the authorities at Hamburg of the necessity of
ieterlerene, the °dicers went on board and took all the
persons alluded to it, it before the magistrate.
Susannah Evans details the particulars of what sub-
sequently took place in the following manner:—
They took toe first into a room, and asked me my age
and what I came over for. I told them I was 16, and I
came over for a situation. The police who came with
me to the Senate house said I must have known for what
purpose I came over,, and that it was for the use of see-
ing men, and ehey asserted that several times. They
then took me to the House of Detention, where I was
kindly treated, and went to bed by myself. In the
morning I dressed myself, and a policeman took me be-
fore the criminal doctor, who wanted to examine my
person in a most improper way, but I would not pertnit
him. Attempts were male to pull up my clothes, and
I resisted with all my power. I was then searched, and
a letter which I had in my pocket, and was going to take
to Hackney the very morning I wee; met by the Belgian
ofJewess, was taken from me. The following is a copy
the letter :
