abate a nuisance .which existed on his premises
in consequence of a large number of cats and dogs
and other animals, including a fox and a goat,
being kept there, so as to be injurious to
health. From the notoriety which the case had at-
tained in the neighbourhood, the court was densely
crowded during the hearing by a large assemblage
of spectators. The complainant stated that he was
requested by the Newhaven Bard of Guardians to
inspect the defendant's premises, and report thereon.
He did so on the 9th inst. lle first visited the
garden, and there noticed nearly 30 cats running
about loose, two dead cats, and the skeletons of:
some. From the garden he went to the defendant's
kitchen, and there discovered a similar number of
the feline race, making themselves very comfortable
on the chairs and before the fire. A stable or out-
house was next inspected, and here between 40 and
50 cats were found, some loose and some in cagi.z.
In this place raw meat lay about in all directions,
and was being very demurely gnawed by many of
the pussies. In a yard adjoining the defendant's
house Mr. Noakes saw upwards of 20 dogs, a fox,
a goat, turkeys, geese, ducks, and fowls of every
description. He next paid a visit to a house in the
defendant's occupation, and attached to his resi-
dence. On going upstairs he found all the doors
shut, but they were immediately opened, and he
was ushered into the presence of another nation-
ality of cats. But he stated they were in it most
disgusting condition, the excrement of the animals
apparently not having been removed for a very
long time. On descending to the lower regions he
was greeted with the same scene—cats without
number, all in an unhealthy state, and exceedingly
dirty. There were also half-dried skeletons of
cats lying about the grounds, and the smell arising
from the whole collection was offensive in the ex-
treme and most injurious to health. Defendant ac-
companicd the complainant in his tour of discovery,
and admitted that the place was in a very dirty state
and promised that it should be cleansed. On the
day after this inspection complainant presented his
report to the board, and they immediately autho-
rised him to take legal proceedings against the de-
fendant. Mr. Noakes also said that he visited the
place again on Monday last and found everything
almost without exception in the same filthy state,
and the smell particularly obnoxious. The total
number of cats be should estimate r.t from 100 to
200. The defendant's residence was in the High-
street of the village, and there had been a disease

Rowlands' three great preparations for the hair, the com-
plexion, and the teeth are known in all quarters of the
globe. Their famous "Macassar Oil" has been °muter-
felted in France, Germany, and elsewhere, but none of the
skurious prepsrAtions have possessed the extraordinary
propertik a of the genuine article. Rowlands' "Ka:ydor"
for the complexion has retained its prominent place among
fashionable cosmetics, notwithstanding the numerous new
articles introduced for the complexion. The "Odonto" for
the teeth is highly prized by thousands who have used n o
other dentifrice for years. Rowlands' great success during
th,l past two generations. and their present prominen t
position as manufacturers, may justly be attributed to the
exc. llent character of thdr articles, and to Ole fact tint,

A dentist presented a bill for the tenth time
to a rich skinflint. "It strikes me," says the latter " that
this is a pretty round. bill." " Yes," replied the dentist;
"I've sent it round often enough to make it appear so, and
I have called now to get it squared."
