It 1, c.osolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
rineiples of personal management which cannot be violated with-
out incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc-
ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
may he mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all.
ht there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—March 25.

BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT.
(Before D. D. Heath, Esq., Judge.)
RICKETTS V. SWANBOROUGH.--IMPORTANT TO THE
THEATRICAL PROFESSION.
This was an action brought by John Ricketts, a
pantomimist and dance*, against Mr. Swanborougb,
of the Strand Theatre, to recover a snm of money
for salary, under the following circumstances.
The plaintiffs case was that he had been engaged
at the Lyceum Theatre as harlequin in the latepan-
tomime, and after his duties ceased there he had a
second engagement at the Strand Theatre to dance
in the ballet, at a salary of 255. a-week, which he
was to receive every Saturday evening before he
went on the stage, for the five nights, and give cre-
dit for that evening, so as to run on to the follow-
ing week. At the end of tire first week finding some
difficulty in getting his money, in the absence of
the manager, Mr. Swanborough, be told Mrs.
Swanborough he should not play unless his wages
were paid, but ultimately it was settled. In the
second week he played in two pieces for the good
of the theatre. On the Saturday there was another
hitch about the money, there being no treasury, as
was usual for the payment of the different per-
formers. Plaintiff again refused to go on, when de-
fendant sent for him, and told him that the cur-
tam should be raised, and that thou he would have
the " pull" if plaintiff still refused. Mr. Swan-
borough came betore the audience and made a
speech, informing them that it Was impossible to
proceed with the ballet that night in consequence
of the length of the other performances. Subse-
quently the plaintiffstepped forward and addressed
the company, denying the truth of what they had
j!ist beard, and stated that the fact was Mr.
Swanburough had refused to pay for the perform-
ance.

In defence it was pleaded that the plaintiff had
not fulfilled his engagement, inasmuch as he had
been paid for six nights, and consequently his next
payment Was not due until the end of the week ;
besides, he had infringed one of the special rules of
the house, by addressing the audience without the
permission of the manager, and had made a speech
most prejudicial to the theatre.
Mr. Wright was called for the
plaintiff, and said
the customwas to pay on Saturday between 2 and
3 o'clock for the five nights, leaving the sixth in
the hands of the manager.
The defendant said it was usual to hold the trea-
sury on Saturday evening, at the end of perform-
ances. He told the plaintiff that it was the last night
of the season, requested him to go on and do his
duty, and he should be paid, but he refused. The
claim was therefore defended upon principle, be-
cause the plaintiff's misconduct had been a serious
inconveni, nce, and if others had struck in the same
way it would have been two o'clock on the Sunday
morning before they could have got through the
performances.
Plaintiff—Did not Mr. -- strike one evening?
Ddendant—No ; he was intoxicated, but he did
not. strike. (Laughter.)
The learned Judge, after hearing the evidence of
Mr. Stammers as to the custom and practice of
theatrical managers as to payment, said it appeared
so him that the engagement was not completed,
and the bargain made by the plaintiff not suffi-
ciently proved. In addition to these points the
plaintiff had misconducted himself by coming for-
ward and addressing the company,' and therefore
was not entitled to receive anything.
Judgment for the defendant.

with the said stick unlawfully assault and beat and
oSf.2r violence towards Samuel George and William
Holland, gamekeepers.
Mr. Powell, for the defence, called prisoner's
master, mistress, and three other people of the
family, whe all swore distinctly and positively that
prisoner went to bed at nine o'clock on the night
in question, and rose at six next morning. One of
the witnesses—the farmer's own son—slept with
the prisoner, and declared it impossible that he
could have gone out without his knowing it, as the
bed was small, and they touched each other as they
lay. This witness awoke at one o'clock in the
night. The same witnesses also contradicted the
identity of the dog, produced boots which they
swore tke prisoner wore on the day in question,
and declared that the marks on his arm, instead of
being those of blows, were from pimples.
Mr. Matthews, in reply, cast no doubt upon the
evidence of the respectable people who had come
to prove the alibi for their servant, but submitted
that they had been mistaken, and that the prisoner
had gone out and come home without their know-
ledge.

The judge, in summing up, saidihat was an-ab-
surd possibility, and the jury must either acquit
the prisoner or believe that all the family had
come to perjure themselves. He summed up very
strongly in the prisoner's favour.
The jury, however, immediately returned a ver-
dict of guilty, which seemed to take every one by
surprise.
The judge, without comment, sentenced the pri-
soner to three years' penal servitude.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —LivERPooL, March 25.
CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)
MYSTERIOUS CASE OF GARROTTE ROBBERY BY WOMEN.
Mary Roach, aged 19, and Mary Routledge,
aged 32, two athletic fish-sellers' were indicted for
assaulting and robbing Bridget, Judge, at Liver-
pool, on the 26th of Feb. last, of 25 sovereigns.
Mr. Temple appeared for the prosecution ; and
Mr. Scott defended the prisoners.
On the evening in question the prosecutrix was
going to make some small purchases, but while
passing through Brick-street she was attacked by
the two prisoners from behind. Her apron was
thrown over her head and drawn tight, so that sho
could make no noise. She was then knocked down,
and after being severely beaten she was lett lying,
in a state of insensibility, in the street. A police
ofEser found her lying in this state, and had her re-
moved to her own house, which was close at baud.
On recovering, the woman found that she had
been robbed of 25 sovereigns, which she hal stitched
up in her dress. The money bad been sewn up in
her gown, but apparently whoever had stolen it
must have known where it was concealed, for the
exact piece of the dress had been torn away,
Mrs. Judge, in examination, said she had saved
the 25 Fovereigns out of her husband's earnings,
although he was only a dock lab iurer, without
regular employment. She also stated that no per-
son except her husband knew where the money
was concealed, and how the prisoners obtained the
information as to where it was, remained a
mystery.
There was no corroborative evidence as to the
assault, but several witnesses were examined, and
proved that Mrs. Judge was in possession of a con-
siderable sum of money. On the other hand, two
witnesses were produced to prove an alibi, as Rout-
ledge was at home when the robbery was said to
have been committed.

The prosecutrix was subjected to a long cross-
examination with a view to elicit that before the
robbery was committed she had: threatened to be
revenged upon the prisoners for giving evidence
against her cousin, but she denied it.

The jury returned a verdict of p9t guilty "or both
he prisoners.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—March 25.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Charles Murray, the son
of a baronet, was brought before the Lord Mayor,
charged with having been drunk in the streets, and
with having grossly misconducted himself. He
had been, four months ago, sentenced in this court
to imprisonment for three months on a charge of
robbery.

Policeman 534 said—About a quarter to 8 o'clock
yesterday evening, as I was on duty in White-
chapel, I saw the prisoner, who was accompanied
by a female, take off his coat, bat, and waistcoat,
tear open his shirt and flannel waistcoat, and then
run out into the middle of the road, cuing, "I
am mad—l am mad !" I then saw him throw him-
self on the middle of the pavement, head foremost.
He commenced knocking his head against the pave-
ment, and said he would kill himself. I went to 1
him to try and persuade him to put on his clothes
and go home, but he refused to be guided by me,
and said he would lie in the street until he should
accomplish his death. I then got the assistance of
three other officers, and succeeded in placing him
in the station-house, where he immediately began
to knock his head about with his usual severity.
The Lord Mayor—What have you to say now,
defendant ?

The defendant—Why, my lord, I was going with
a woman to see some friends of hers, and I met
some friends and wanted to treat them, but she
would not let me, and she threatened to leave me
altogether if I per. evered. Well, I had a little drink
on board, and what she said vexed and excited me,
and I did act inconsistently.
The Lord Mayor—You seem not to have been
benefited by the severity of the correction you
underwent here on a former occasion.
The del, ndant—l have been very sober lately,
my for f, I assure you, and if you will just look
over this I shall take particular care of myself in
future.

The Lord Mayor--You say you have been sober
lately : you could not help that. You have only
just conte out of prison, after three months of
compulsory abstinence.

Tile defendant—l have been out of prison three
weeks, my lord, and all that time I have been a, s
sober as it was possible for a man to be in prison.
The young woman who was with me can tell you
all about me. She and I were going to visit some
respectable friends in Petticoat lane. (Laughter.)
They were her relations, not mine.
The Lord Mayer—I have made the strictest in-
quiry into your character, and know everything
about you, and I cannot help saying that you a,re
one of the most incorrigible rogues that ever came
before a magistrate.
Tho defendant—No, my lord, not that, not that.
The Lord Mayor—You, Oe son of a baronet,
have had every possible kindness and attention be-
stowed upon you by your family. Hundreds and
thousands have been fruitlessly expended upon you,
and yet you seem determined to pursue your mad
career.

The defendant—You have heard their side of the
questions, but your lordshipknows nothing of mine.
The Lord Mayor—l know all. I have taken
great pains to ascertain all the facts, and I find that
you are a complete disgrace to your relations. You
certainly ought to be sent to an asylum to be taken
close care of for the rest of your life.
The defendant—Look over this, and I will take
care of myself, for I have now got a lodging out of
town amongst most respectable people, and 1 shall
drop bad company for the rest of my life.
The Lord Mayor—What ! you going with a pros-
titute to Petticoat-lane I You likely to change your
degrading habits? When you were apprehended it
would have been an act of decency in you not to
give the name of your family, which you have so
cruelly disgraced.

The defendant—What, my lord, give a false
name 1 No, my lord, I can't tell a lie.
The Lord Mayor—Not tell a lie, and actually
going on a visit with a prostitute to Petticoat-lane.
The defendant—She is a respectable young
woman, and no prostitute. She has my money
now. I had 141. when I came out of prison, and
she has what is left. Here she is.

A decent-looking young woman then got into the
witness-box, and said she lived in Baldwin's-
gardens, and the defendant lived with her, and was
a very good-natured young man, but unfortunately
too fond of treating people. Of the 14/. which he
had when he came out of prison no more than ss.
or 6s. remain, and she said the rest was spent in
the purchase of clothes and necessaries for both of
them. _

The Lord Mayor—You must have lived well to
have spent 141. in three weeks. I shall fine bim
20s. or send him to prison for 21 days ; and I can
tell you, if you are a resreeiable person, that the
sooner you leave such a fellow the better.
The defendant—She is a respectable person, with
a very good heart, and I can assure your lordship
that she might meet a worse fellow than me.
(Laughter.)
The defendant was then removed, and was soon
afterwards discharged upon payment of the penalty.

of property, residing at 15, Hill-street, Walwortb,
