A person who acted asagent for plaintiff, who is a pub-
lican, of Leadenhall-street, produced a number of tickets,
and stated that they were orders sent by the defendant,
who is the foreman at a portmanteau manufactory.
The tickets were handed to his honour, who, upon pro-
ceeding to examine them, found that upon some was written
"Old Tom" and upon others "Gin."
His Honour—Well, defendant does not appear, and you
are the only witness against your principal. You have
thrust these tickets into my hands, and I am bound to
strike the amount out of the summons. You cannot re-
cover for old Tom and gin.'
Plaintiff—What ! not upon a written order ?

His Honour—Certainly not. Old Tom is a shocking old
fellow, and a curse to the country; and if people will have
it, you should get the money at the time.

Per Blbs. to sink the offal.

Plaintiff—Well I, never heard that we couldn't recover
upon a written ordar. At the Southwark County Court
we have recovered upon these orders.

IN LOTTERY TICKETS.

In this case plaintiff sought to recover a sum of £1 ss,
for goods sold and-delivered.

Defendant admitted that he had had the goods, but
pleaded a set off of 15s. for 'a lottery ticket supplied to
plaintiff. He said that he had bought the ticket in question
and had sold it to plaintiff at that person's request.
Plaintiff—Oh, he generally' has 40 or 50 of these tickets
about him, which he thrusts upon people.
His Honour—Well, this is a dangerous thing, and I am
inclined to think illegal..
Plaintiff—lt is only worth 7s. 6d.
Defendan.—l'll take that.

MEAT MARKETS:

His Honour—Then I will deduct it, but it is not a very
safe trade.

SMITHIV. HERRING.

Plaintiff, the proprietor of the Sunday Times newspaper,
claimed £3 10s. for inserting sundry advertisements in the
Sunday Times, and £3 3s, for insertions of advertisement
in the Almanac.

Defendant alleged that his advertisement was not inserted
in the Sunday Times Almanac in a proper place. Accord-
to agreement, it was to be.placed on the last page of the
Almanac but one. He agreed to pay £3 3s. for the use of
that leaf. The advertisement was not put there, but
amongst the " puffs."
Mr. Potter, collector of the Sunday Times, proved the
order and insertion of the advertisements. The defendant
had previously paid the advertisements in the Sunday
Times, £3 10s., into court.
The defendant was also examined, and proved that there
was an express agreement to insert his advertisement in the
last leaf but one of the Almanac. His son, a boy 14 years
of age, corroborated his father's evidence.

Mr. Prior, advertising agent, said that he countermanded
the defendant's advertisement in December, and said that
the defendant stated to him, and he stated to the plaintiff,
that unless the defendant's advertisement was inserted in
the last page but one of the Almanac, he would not have it
inserted at all.

His Honour gave a verdict for the defendant, with costs,

POLICE INTELLIGEWCE.—(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DTSGRACEFUL CONDUCT.TO FEMALVIS AT THE GUARDS'
CLUB.—Thomas Cotchin, described as the housekeeper of
chambers, 50, Pall-Mall, was charged with disgraceful and
indecent conduct to the female servants at the Guards'
Club.

From the evidence of Mary Wilks, still-room maid at the
club, and which was confirmed, by Harriet Bradbury, one
of the housemaids, it appeared that, for some time past,
the prisoner had been in the constant practice of exhibiting
himself at the window of the house where he lived in a
state of complete nudity,
.and making use of disgusting
gesticulations, evidently :with -the intention of insulting
them. Ho had been cautioned several times, but as he
persisted in doing it, yeste'
rda'y' afternoon, on his again re-
peating it, Carter, a young man employed at the club, was
sent over to him, and he was given into custody.
A solicitor, who appeared for theprisoner, cross-examined
the witnesses, but their evidence, which was given in a very
creditable manner, was not in the least shaken.
_ _ _

Henry Frank Carter, billiard marker at the club, proved
being called up and seeing the conduct of the prisoner.
He then went over and caused him to be taken into custody.
Mr. Bingham said it was clearly a case under the Vagrant
Act. The conduct of the females in every respect reflected
great credit on them. It was very hard that they could
not go to their window for a mouthful of fresh air without
being insulted by a person with such a nasty taste.
Committed for three months.

SAVAGE ASSAULTS ON FEMALES.--A RUFFIAN.—A
tall, ruffianly fellow, named Daniel Lynch, was charged
with assaulting his wife, Ellen Lynch, and also a young
female, named Ellen Casey.
The wife, on getting into the witness-box, refused to be
sworn, but the magistrate insisting, she reluctantly con-
sented; but it was evident she gave her evidence with fear,
saying she did not wish to hurt her husband.
The whole of her evidence was, that she was brutally
treated by the prisoner on all occasions, and that on the
previous day he had given her several violent blows on the
face.

Mary Casey said she heard the man and his wife quarrel-
ling. She told the prisoner he ought to bo ashamed of
himself to strike his wife in the way he had done, when he
gave her (witness) a violent blow in the face. Having
afterwards, by accident, met the prisoner, without a word
on either side he gave her a violent blow in the back,
causing her great pain.

A constable said the priFfoner bore a very bad character
in the neighbourhood. On the previous. day he seized a
saucepan which was on the fire, containing a few things
the woman had to wash,-and threw,the contents all over
the room. He had been- twice before- convicted ; once for
an assault on a female, when he had three months, and on
the other occasion.for -assalting-his wife, when he had six
months. • •-

Casey said that she only know the female owing to her
(Casey's). mother .having-eeployed her, as she was a poor,
hardworking woman, and. the prisoner was an idle fellow,
never doing a day's wbrk,to.atinport his four children.
The magistrate having animadverted in strong terms on
the prisoner's brutality and cowardice in striking the
woman who worked hard to keep him and his family, while
he spent a life of idleness, sent him to hard labour for six
months.

The prisoners in defence, said they 'were taking a friend
home, and the police-constable &Edo `ltaly interfered with

struck them.
Alder—l deny using my fists.

Mr. Selfe—l have had occasion of late. to find fault with
the police on many occasions for being too officious. These
young men have been taken into custody most improperly
and detained for several hours. There bras been too much
of this, and I intend to keep a book in mi. deli I shall record
the names of police-constables who act so. impropuly. The
prisoner was discharged.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
To•day's market was fairly supplied with beasts, and the
demand for all breeds ruled inactive, at Monday's currency.
We had a slow inquiry for sheep—the supply of which was
moderate—yet late rates were well supported—a few prime
old Downs having sold at 5s per 81bs. Lambs are now out
of season. Prime small calves were in fair request, at full
quotations ; but inferior veal was very dull. Pigs were
firm in price ; but milch cows commanded very little at-
tention.
