THE"SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 17, 1860,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(TTHS DAY.)

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

PUBLIC SALES AND COLONIAL PRODUCE.,--.IMPORTANT
YERDICT-S A.MITELS V. MYERS.

This was an action to recover £l2 ss. 10d., being the
difference between £3O Bs. 11d., the result of a first, and
£lB 35., the result of a second sale of soma 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 ear which induced him to
repudiate his bargain, and tlia lot was again inserted in a

catalogue, with the addition of 1‘ 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. Conga 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 Landon Docks said, in his
experience he had never known shells to be sorted before by
the importer. The Dock Company, under orders, did so
sometimes.
Mr. Lewis then said that he based his defence upon 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, t 11 said that in buying for
principals they should feel it t eir 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 b•
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 he 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 the law of the case, and
said defendant bought the goods with his eyes
open, and had the article, which was worth the first price
even now.

TILE GREAT SHIP COMPANY.

ADJOURNED MEETING.-(TIIIS DAY.)

His Honour then put the law to the jury, and said it was
for them to say if defendant had exercised duo 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 unasserted shells,
was justified in buying under that impression, and in re
pudiating the bargain when he discovered they were
assorted.

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.
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 :

The jury found for plaintiff.
His Honour allowed costs.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.
Sa.v.sou ASSAULTS ON A PARLIAMENTARY AGIINT
AND OTHERS.—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, Abing,don-street East, a Parlia-
mentary agent, said that a little before six the previous
evening he was in one of the Great IVestera 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. lle complained
to 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 is 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 be 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 tho side, and not
satisfied with this, seized him by the shoulder and dug his
knee into his stomach with all the ftree 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, Beadon 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 ho still suffered very great pain, and was Very un-
well.

Mr. Curling said the prisoner said ho had been in India
and engaged in battles, and had been wounded, and he
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 Z 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.
