LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

"Nisi Prius Sittings at Guildhall, before the Lord Chief
Justice and a Special Jury.)
PAU-MAN V. FANCAS.

In this case tho plaintiff, who had formerly been in busi-
ness in Stockholm, Sweden, but who is now a merchant
in London, brought an action to recover compensation in
damages for an alleged breach of contract on the part of
the defendant, a coal merchant, in London. The defendant
denied that be had committed any breach of contract, and
that he was not amenable to the jurisdiction of an English
court, according to Swedish law. It appeared
that in 1862 ho was carrying on his business as a
merchant in Stockholm, and that the son of the
defendant had been placed under his care with a view of
acquiring a general knowledge of the business. The
plaintiff suggested through him to his father the
advisability of sending some coals to Stockholm with a
view of opening a market for the sale of the same. The
defendant adopted the suggestion, and sent eight or nine
waggon loads of coal to the plaintiff. ,The agreement
between the parties was that the coal should be paid for
in bills of exchange, and these were given to the amount
of £BB5 3s. When the coals were delivered it was late in

10 season, and the market was glutted, so that the

plaintiff was unable to dispose of them immediately
He wrote to the defendant informing him of
the fact, but much to his surprise he received a visit from
a notary shortly afterwards, who stated that he had been
authorised by the defendant to seize the coals, which he
bad done. This constituted the alleged breach of con-
tract; and it appeared further that it was stipulated be-
tween the parties that the transaction should be kept
strictly private; instead of which the proceedings adopted
by the defendant gave it the greatest publicity, and the de-
fendant's commercial reputation was seriously injured.
The case is not likely to conclude to-day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY IN HYDE-PARK.—Elizabeth Wooden, one of
the women who frequents Hyde-park, was charged before
Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a watch from the person of
Henry Redsall, footman at No. 1, Eaton-square.
The prosecutor said ho was crossing Hyde-park last
night about 11 o'clock, when the prisoner came up to him
and caught hold of his arm, and at the same time took his
watch from his waistcoat pocket, the watch having been
snapped off at the bow, and his chain left hanging down.
He taxed the prisoner with having taken his watch, and
she denied having done so, and while walking with her
towards the Hyde-park police- station, a woman passed the
prisoner and spoke to her. He afterwards gave the pri-
soner in charge.

The prisoner asked the prosecutor whether he had not
spoken to other women, and he denied having done so.
Spooner, 153 A, said that on receiving the prisoner in
custody, she denied having the watch.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was very likely the prisoner at that

[me had not got it, but the other had. HOwould remand

he prisoner.

CRUEL AND MEAN ROBBERY.—George Johnson, de-
scribed as a groom, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt,
with stealing an apron, and some bread and meat, the pro-
perty of a boy named Louis Robinson, employed in Hyde-
park.

It appears that the prosecutor left his day's provision
tied up in an apron on one of the seats, Mr. Waterfield,
the foreman over the boys, undertaking to look after it.
Some time after Mr. Waterfield saw the prisoner go to the
seat, take up the bundle, place it under his coat, and walk
off with it, and he then went after the prisoner, who de-
nied having it, and took it from him.
The prisoner said the bundle was given him by another
person to carry.
Mr. Waterfield said that for some time past there had
been frequent robberies of a similar kind, and several of
the men have had their coats, hats, &c., taken away.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a cruel and mean robbery, and
committed the prisoner for six weeks, with hard labour.
