L A W INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn and a Common
Jury.)

COLEMAN V. SCOTT.-.A NOVEL PLAN FOR AN ORGAN.

This was au action to recover the amo►int of an
organ which had been supplied by the plain- who
is an organ maker and player to defendant. The latter
denied that the amount was due, and stated that it
was put up in such iu an efficient manner thz•,t it was
useless, and that payment had been offered .Dn con-
dition that the instrument was put into a proper
state and made fit to be of any service.
Mr. Philbrick appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
E. L. Smith for the defendant.

It appeared that last Easter the plaintiff was
employed to construct and erect an organ for a
temporary church i❑ one of the populous districts
of the East-end. The building which was to con-
tain it was built over some stabler, and the organ
was to be in order for performance on the Saturday
night before Easter Sunday. The plaintiff
averred that he had it perfectly in order
on the Saturday night, although he admitted
that it had no pedals, and seven of the strings
were stopped, but these lie said did not in the least
affect the matter, as the instrument was perfectly
fitted for all it was intended for. He had subse-
quently brought an action to recover the money,
and a Mr. Elliott had offered him a cheque if ho
would forego the expenses incurred—this he de-
clined to do. Nothing was said about putting the
instrument in condition, he should not wonder at
its being in a bad condition after remaining over
the damp of the stable.
The defence was that the instrument was de-
fective, and that payment had been offered and
ref used.

The jury being divided, retired to consider their
verdict.

POLICE INTELLIGENOE.—This Day,

BOW-STREET.

NOT A BAb JUDGE.----A gentleman, who gave
the name of John Brown, was 'charged before Mr.
Vaughan with being drunk and incapable.

It appeared from the evidence of Police-constable
F 52 that last night or early this morning a cab
drove up to Bow-street and put the prisoner down
at the police-station. The cab driver, saying that
he was instructed to drive his fare to Bow-street,
left without giving any further account.

Mr. Vaughan to the prisoner—hlow came you in
thi3 state ?

Prisoner—l had been out to a dinner, and am
ashamed to say took a little too much to drink.
Mr. Vaughan—Have you any recollection how
you came to be in the cab ?

Prisoner—Yes, sir ; 1 got into the cab myself,
and as I wanted to go to my hotel, and not knowing
how, like a drunken man's notion, I thought I could
place faith in the police, and that they would con-
duct me to my hotel; I therefore ordered the cabman
to drive me to the police station, which he did. I
paid the cabman his fare.
The prisoner was then fined ss.

LA IV INTELLIGENCE, De& 12.

SIIERRIFFS' 'COURT (11En LION-SCILTARE).—DEc. 12.
(Bofore Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell and n, Jury.)
DOVIELL Y. TIIE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.—

OXFORD RACES.

This was an action in the Exchequer, in which judg-
ment was allowed by default, brought by the plaintiff, Mr.
John Doviell, against the company for torninghim out of a
carriage at Reading on his return from Oxford at the time
of the races. The damages were laid at £1.50, and a writ
of inquiry was executed to assess the amount of damages
to b.) awarded.

Mr. Sergeant R.Allison (with whom was Mr. .7.+PlJeod)
appeared for the plaintiff, whom he described as a gentle-
man travelling for a City house iu the spirit trade. lle
went in August to Oxford, and at Reading he presented
his return ticket, which was available for four days, and
the stationmaster refused to recognise it, as he said it was
out of date, and he was dragged out of the carriage in the
presence of several gentlemen, and prevented returning to
Paddington. For the misconduct ho brought an action
and the company had offered au ap6logy and £3O as com-
pensation, which he (Ur. Sergeant R-)biuson) was willing
to accept, and the jury would he saved a long inquiry.
Mt. 11. James, as counsel for `.he company, desired to say
a few words before the verdict was recorded. A mistake
had been made by the station-master at Reading. It hap-
pened during the Oxford races, for which the return tic-
kets were availahle for four days ; he had, however, mis-
taken the time, ant considered the ticket out of date. He
at oaeo apologised, and the matter would have been set-
tled but for the excessive damages demanded by the plain-
tiff.

Mr. Sergeant Robinson accepted this ample apology.
All he could say was that there had been personal vio-
lence, and the plaintiff was prevented going by the train,
and obliged to go intoßeading for some hours ; and when
the station master found out his mistake he admitted it,
but all the gentlemen who had seen the indignity committed
had gone, and the only course was the action, and au
apology had now been publicly made.
Mr. li. James—You have the apology and £3O besides.
The learned Under Sheriff told the jury that, as the
learned gentlemen had arranged the amount their simple
duty was to assess the amount agreed upon.
The jury assessed the damages at pO.
