REFORM LEAGUE DEMONSTRATION IN HYDE
PARK.—At the meeting of the council and delegates of the
various branches of the Reform League last night it was
resolved that a demonstration of the Reformers of London
be held in Hyde-park at six o'clock on the evening of
Monday, the 6th of May.

" An old experienced huntsman," says a Vienna
letter, "calls the attention of sporting men and agricul-
turists to the fact that woodcocks are this year nearly
tnree times as numerous as in previous seasons, and this is
prognosticated as a suro sign of great agricultural fertility
and an abundant wino harvest."

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

(Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron

and Barons Martin and Bramwell.)

WALKER V. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

Mr. Huddleston, Q.C. in this case, moved for a
rule for leave to enter a non suit to reduce the
damages, or for a new trial, on the ground of the
improper admission of evidence. The nature of
the- case was to obtain a sum of money for the
medical attendance and services rendered to a per-
son injured through the negligence of the cotnpany'e
servants. The nature of the services rendered was
attendance upon three persons who had bee❑ in-
jured on the railway, and on the case being tried
at the assizes for the county of Worcester, before
Mr. Baron Piggott, a verdict was given for the
plaintiff for £4-I 16s. Ile (the learned counsel)
contended that the case rested only on the evidence
of a person named Adcock, the general manager of
the railway, who had directed a surgeon named
Everett to tell the plaintiff to attend upon a person
named West, who had been injured at Stour-
bridge. Now, the principal witness was Everett,
and he was the surgeon to a provident in-
stitution got up by the officials on the line, and the
payment should have come from that institution,
and not from the company. Adcock, the manager,
had no right to act for the company, and if the
station-master thought fit to enter into a contract,
it was not binding upon the company.
Baron Martin—But surely, 'Air. Huddleston, you
do not mean to say that the manager of a certain
railway station did not represent the company ?
Mr. Huddleston then quoted a variety of cases,
which he contended sufficiently testified that the
station-master had no authority to direct any
medical attendance to be given to any one injured.
The' Chief Baron—Surely, as the manager of the
affairs of the company, he would be entitled to
direct medical attendance to be given.
Mr. Huddleston—Well, my lord, I will say no
more on that point ; but as to part of the amount,
£2l, that was for attendance on a servant of the
company, aad I considered that if that does not
come within the scope of the cases quoted I do not
know what does.

The Lord Chief Baron—l think we cannot admit
that.

After a few subsequent observations, the rule was
refused.

COURT OF BANKRUPrCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)
IN RE BECKETT.

This bankrupt was an attorney of Moorgate-
street, and he came up to-day for his order of
discharge. It appeared that full accounts had not
been filed, and an adjournment was asked for on
behalf of the assignees.

An attorney, who appeared for one of the cre-
ditors, stated that some difficulty had arisen in
reference to some trust money in the funds, but
the bankrupt had been unable to trace the broker
who had made certain sales of stock. He might
say that the clerks at the Bank of England were
always willing to assist the public, and if the
bankrupt would write a letter setting forth the
information he required it would be furnished to
him.
The case was again adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGEACE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ILLUSING A HonsE.—James Sutton, a cab driver, badge
10,652, appeared to answer a summons, taken out by the
Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
for cruelly illusing a horse.
Mr. Archibald Price, of 7, St. James's-street, said that
on Monday afternoon he and his wife had just got into a
cab in Trafalgar-square when the horse, attached to a
Hansom cab, and driven by the defendant, fell down. His
wife suggested that the driver should go to the defendant's
assistance, and he did so, and the horse was got up.
Directly after the defendant struck the horse two or three
blows with his flit, and then kicked it in the belly several
times. His wife expostulated with the defendant on his
cruelty, upon which he made use of a most insulting re-
mark to her.

Mr. Henry Thomas, of Aspen-grove, Hackney, gave
similar evidence to Mr. Price.

The magistrate Mid tho defendant was a brutal fellow,
and fined him lOs. and costa, or seven days.

LAMBETH.

UTTERING BASE COlN.—David Nunnrnan, a bootmaker,
who is well-known to the police, was brought up at this
court for final examination, charged with uttering counter-
feit coin at several publichouses on the 2(1 and 7th inst.
It will be remembered that the prisoner called at the
Three Horse-shoes beer-shop, Prince's-street, Lambeth,
and called for a screw of tobacco, for which he tendered a
florin. It was at once discovered to be a bad one, and the
prisoner was told of it. He said he was not aware of it,
and in consequence was given into custody. After taking
a good deal of evidence, in the course of which it was
shown that the prisoner had been in the constant habit
of passing the counterfeit coin at several public-
houses in the neighbourhood, he was fully committed to
take his trial at the Central Criminal Court.
A DISORDERLY LODGER.—Thomas Knipple was charged
on a warrant with threatening Mr. Joseph Knight and his
wife, of 15, Trafalgar-square, Camberwell-road. The
prisoner and his wife lived in the same house with prose-
cutor, and on last Monday evening he came home, and
after getting into a violent passion, seized a hot leg of
roasted mutton from the table, and beat his wife with it.
He knocked her down, and so ill-treated her that Mrs.
Knight interfered for her protection, when the prisoner
made use of very violent threats, and c.natinued his uproar
from a late hour in the evening up till 4 o'clock the follow-
ing morning.
Mr. Elliot ordered him to find bale to keep the peace for
six months.

WESTMINSTER.
DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT AT A TAVERN. —John Smith,
a rough-looking fellow, was charged with the following
disgraceful conduct at a tavern :
Mr. Stocks, the proprietor of the Rising Sun, Pimlico,
said that the man came into his house yesterday drunk
and asked for some liquor. Complainant refused to serve
him, when he became very violent, and on complainant's
trying to put him out without hurting him, defendant threw
him on the ground, kicked him repeatedly, obviously with
a desire to injure him, and then made several attempts to
bite him. Complainant was unable to get away from the
defendant until released by his potman, whom he bit
severely.

Mr. Arnold—Do you know anything of him ?Ishe a
customer ?

Complainant—l never saw him in my life before.

Francis Waite, potman, said that finding defendant had
his master down and was ill-treating him ho went to his
assistance, when defendant got him down and "let his
teeth into his leg." Witness immediately punched his
head and made him leave go. Defendant rushed about
with his mouth open ready to bite.
In reply to the charge accused said ho had been knocked
and beat about by the potman, as his face would prove,
and his chest had been so sore that he could hardly bear it.
Mr. Arnold—Your conduct has been most disgraceful,
and but for the punishment you have had from tho pot-
man I should give you more, although not of the same de-
scription. You are committed for a month, and must enter
into recognisances to keep the peace for six months.
