FURLONG V. HERRING--.; DftERMINED LITIGATION.
This case has been tried ts;-, 'cc before, and in each case his

THIS IMI"S MARKETS.

MASTER AND SERVANT--4 :EWELL V. GOODMAN.
Mr. Beard appeared for the p, 'aintiff, and Mr. Buchanan
for defendant.

The action was brought to rek .over a sum of 145., for one
week's salary in lieu of notice;. Defendant insisted that
plaintiff was not a regularly engag'ed man, and was liable
by the custom of the trade to be divharged at aday's notice.
To controvert this Mr. Beard ualed two witnesses, who
proved that it was the custom to, give and take a week's
notice. Mr. Buchanan then said plaintiff was in the habit
of getting drunk and being saucy, I)nt Mr. Beard said that
was not charged against him, and Ids Honour found for
plaintiff with costs.

MISTRESS AND SERVANT-IMP.ORTANT DECISION.
MANTLE V. SYDIVW.
Plaintiff was a domestic servant, and sought to recover
the sum of 12s. for one month's wages, and 3s. 6d. money
expended. _ . _

BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

For the defence it was alleged, and witnesses were called
to prove that plaintiff was in the habit of leaving the house
and her work two hours at a time, against the will of Mrs.
Sydney, and returning in a state of intoxication. On one
occasion the door was shut against her.
His Honour said that was not to be tolerated. Plaintiff
could not hope to come on for wages after such gross mis-
conduct, and she deprived herself of all power of summon-
ing the defendant for wages, and the verdict could only be
for 3s. Gd. money expended.
_ _

For the last threedays nearly every case has been a dis-
pute between master and servant.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

BOW-STREET.

THE CROSSING-SWEEPING NUISANCE.—A boy about 14
years of age, named John Bryan, was placed at the bar,
charged with using insulting and disgusting language to a
married woman.

Elizabeth Young, the wife of a labouring man, residing
at Fulham-green, said last evening she, in company with
another female, was crossing the road near Trafalgar-
square, when the prisoner came 'up to her and asked her to
remember poor Jack. She obtained a halfpenny from her
friend and offered it to the boy, when he made use of the
most obscene language possible to imagine. She threatened
to give him into custody on the arrival of a policeman, when
he recommenced using bad language, and followed her into
the- centre of the square, where he, with his broom,
raised her gown in a most indecent manner. On the
arrival of the constable she gave the boy in charge.
Police-constable 624 A said two gentlemen near Charing-
cross told him one of the crossing-sweepers had been
insulting a female, when he immediately proceeded to the
centre of Trafalgar-square, and there found the prisoner
in company with a great many other boys who sweep
crossings in the neighbourhood. Immediately they saw
him they ran away, but he succeeded in:securing Bryan.
Two gentlemenlold him of the indecent manner in which
the boy lifted the woman's gown with his broom, and said
that had they not been leaving London thit evening, they
would have attended this morning at the police court.

Mr. Henry (to the prisoner)—What have you to say to
this indecent conduct ? You can't say you don't know
better ?

Prisoner, crying—lt wasn't me ; but 'cos the r other boys
wasn't cotch and I wasy it's all blamed to me. I didn't do
what the 'oman says, as I hadn't a broom.'
Mr. Henry—l believe you did, and lam determined, if
possible, to prevent respectable persons from being insulted
bythe crossing-sweepers who infest this locality. How many
do you think were there yesterday ?
Constable—About 30, your worship. We find it nearly
impossible to protect respectable people from their annoy-
ance, as they are so rapid in their movements. When a
constable tells them to go away, they invariably turn
round, and, after a volley.of the most disgusting language,
they run away. _ _

Mr. Henry (to the boy)—Have you a father or mother
Lying ? _ _ _

Prisoner—No ; I live with my aunt and grandmother hi
Newcastle-court, and I gets my living by sweeping cross-
ings.

Mr. henry—l must make some more inquiry about you.
In the meantime I shall see what a week's solitary con-
finement will do to improve you.
The boy, who evidently expected to be sent to prison for
a longer term, brightened up when he heard it was only
for a week.

tongued woman, and he could not believe what she said, for
she had told two lies while giving her evidence. The first
was that she was not in the police court yesterday, and the
second that sbe was not drinking in the public house op-
posite the court, with the persons who had given evidence ,
against the prisoners. The complainant was in the police
court, and also drinking with the rival party yesterday. He
was afraid that Mrs. Lyons had brought on her sufferingu
by her own misconduct and abuse, and as both parties were
blameable, and had been making a disturbance, he should
discharge the prisoners.
