LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, in London, before Mr. Justice
Mellor and a Common Jury.)
JUDD V. HARDING.

Mr. Cole, Q.C., and Mr. Joyce appeared for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr.
Pearce for the defendant.

This was an action for detaining certain goods,
and there was one count in the declaration for
trover. The defendant pleaded not guilty, that the
goods were not the plantiff's, but the property of a
Miss Annie Adams, that the plaintiff had received
full satisfaction for them, and finally that the gooie,
were given to Miss Adams to earn a livelihood by
an immoral life.

From the evidence of the plaintiff it appeared
that he was a linendraper and mercer in High_
street, St. John's-wood, and, in August, 1855, was
acquainted with a Miss Adams, who went under
the name of Mrs. Clifford, and was living under the
protection of a gentleman named Hyam, at St.
John's-wood. She was a customer of the plain-
tiff's, and called at his shop with Mr. Hyam.
They had some conversation, in the course of which
Mr. Hyam complained of the amount of rent he
was paying for a furnished house, and the plaintiff
advised him to purchase some furniture. It was
then agreed that the plaintiff should buy the furni-
ture, and that Mr. Hyam should give him
a bill of sale on it. The furniture was accord-
ingly purchased for the amount of £l4O, and
a bill of sale on it was given for
£195, the difference being money owed tin plaintiff,
and Miss Adams, and Mr. Hyam. Twenty pounds
were also paid to the plaintiff, and instalments of
£8 Bs. 6d. kept up for some time. Mr. Hyam
left Miss Adams, and at the time there was
a balance of £95 due. Miss Adams then went
to live under the protection of a gentleman
named Gould, a captain in the Fourth Bengal
Native Infantry, and he paid the plaintiff, and
gave him a cheque for the remainder of the debt,
but it was dishonoured. Oa the.pl iintiff refusing
to give the bill of sale, Miss Adams, who was
about leaving London, determined to dispose of
the furniture, but a distress was put into the
house, and the goods were seized by the defendant.
One witness was called on behalf of the plaintiff,
but hits evidence was immaterial.

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, in opening the defen-
dant's case, said he would not depend upon the
plea which had been placed on the record as to the
goods having been supplied for au immoral pur-
pose, because he considered it would be unfair to
tradesmen if such pleas were enforced.

The learned counsel then proceeded to call
evidence to contradict the statement of the plaintiff,
and several witnesses were examined.
The case was not concluded when we went to
press.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
(Before Baron Martin and a Common Jury.)
SHEPHERD it. GUSIILON -- BUST OF THE POET

LAUREATE.

The plaintiff was a modeller, living in Queen-
street, Edgware-road, and had employed three
months in executing a bust of the poet Tennyson,
from a photograph lent him by Mrs. Cameron,
sister of the poet, and a three-quarter medallion
of Wormum's, the celebrated sculptor. lie for-
warded the bust to the defendant, a painter, carver,
and gilder, for the purpose of being painted. Ry-
an accident the defendant broke the bust, and the
action .was brought to recover £2O, the value of the
bust. Only 10s. was paid into court by the de-
fendant.

The plaintiff stated in his evidenca that amongst
the subscribers were the Duchess-Dowager of
Sutherland, the Duke of Argyll, Mr. Gladstone,
the Duke of Devonshire, and other distinguished
members of the aristocracy.

It was proved, in the course of evidence, that
the plaintiff had assigned the copyright of the
bust to Burggioti, the modeller in Leather-lane.
Mr. Tennyson, to whom the plaintiff bad written,
said that he could not conscientiously recommend
the photograph of the bust forwarded to him as a
faithful likeness.

The learned judge said that after the fact of the
assignment having been elicited it was useless for
the plaintiff to proceed, and it would be better that
a juror should be withdrawn. The suggestion was
adopted and the proceedings terminated.

Total Destruction by Fire of Christ Church,
Kensington;—(This Day.)

---0.-

This (Monday) morning between the hours of
one and two o'clock the inhabitants of Kensington
were aroused by the cries of " fire," when it was
ascertained that Christ Church, Park-road, were in
flames. Before the steam engines of Messrs. Shand,
Mason, and Co. could arrive the atmosphere was
illuminated for several miles around. The flames
spread in every direction, causing the greatest
consternation. The scene at this time was fearful,
persons running out of their houses with anything
they could lay hold of. Mr. W. Swanton, the
superintendent of the Salvage Corps, was shortly
on the spot, with his body of men, and, assisted by
the Rev. W. Marsham and other neighbours, was
the means of saving thousands of pounds' worth of
property. The engines got to work with a good
supply of water, but the church was burnt down
to the ground, and many other houses damaged by
fire. The cause is unknown.

ESSEX AGRICULTURAL SOClETY.—iiaVing obtained
the necessary authority from the Privy Council, thissocioty
has decided on having a cattle dhow. Mr. Du Cane, M.P.,
writes to the committee : —" Thu recent outbreak at Lime-
house, which is closo on the borders of Essex, will preyeut
any cattle being sera to Braintroe for exhibition from any
place in Essex which is within 20 miles of Limehouse, and
the effect of this must bo to exclude a considerable extent
of the metropolitan end of the county from the exhibition.
lam sorry for this restriction myself, as I consider it
would have been amply sufficient for the county to have
been free of cattle plague for four months preceding the
exhibition; but 1 was assured by Dr. Williams that the
Privy Council had attached great importance .to this con-
dition, and that there was no chance of their being induced
to alter it.
