LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)

JONES V. SHARP.

This was an action to recover wages actually
earned, plaintiff being a domestic servant.
It appeared from her evidence that one evening
she went to fetch some beer, and upon her return
her mistress said she should leave the house that
nigh c. Plaintiff went up stairs for her clothes, and
when she camed.iwn she found the door locked so
that she could net get out,
and was compelled to
remain until the next morning, when she left.
In cross-examination by Mr. Buchanan, plaintiff
said that she was quite sure her mistress desired her
to quit the house. Plaintiff (lid not say she would
go whether defendant liked it or not.
Mr. Buchanan said he should call witnesses to
prove that, plaintiff wished to leave the house at an
unreasonably sudden thee, and against the desire
of the defendant.

Defendant said that when plaintiff returned with
the supper beer defendant went into the kitchen,
and was very much abused by plaintiff, who said
she would not stop in the house any longer. To
prevent plaintiff leaving defendant locked the street
door.

His Honour—Your client is making out a very
good case of false imprisonment, Mr. Buchanan,
for she had no right to lock the door.
Defendant—Plaintiff was under notice to leave,
and when she said she would go, I insisted upon her
completing her term. I only want to know what
we are to do. Have I not a right to lock the door
to detain her ?

His Honour—Certainly not. It is clear that it
is a case of false imprisonment. I will give plaintiff
a verdict for 355.

Mr. Buchanan—Will your. Honour give us time
to bring an action against pitintiff for not complet-
ing her term ?

His Honour —I think this verdict should settle
it all.

Defendant—Whatever your Honour thinks I
should do I will.

Verdict for the plaintiff.

MANSION-HOUSE.

THE STOLEN SPANISH BONDS.—I-lenry Forrester,
the son of Forrester, the late detective officer
attached to the Mansion-house, was placed
in
nt thehis bar
possession on remand,
twnSpanish Bonds of
charged with having
the value of £421, which had been stolen from
a lady whilst she was in one of the city banking
houses in November last. •

The prisoner, it would be recollected, went to
Paris in company with a person named Foote,
who changed the bonds into money, and ultimately
they returned to England. On the bonds coming
back to this country they were stopped, and
inquiries made which led to the discovery
of Foote, who told all ho had to do
with the bonds. Forrester was taken into custody,
but he resolutely declined to give any information
as to how the bonds came into his possession.
Hancock said since the last examination he
had been to Paris, and he found the
statement made by Foote true in nearly
every particular. He had not been able to get the
certain witnesses to Englaud, but he thought he
should be able to do so in about a week. Foote,
however, was not now to be found, and he had
heard he had been provided with money to get ou
of the way.

Mr. M. Williams, who prosecuted, said if Foote
was not in attendance at the next examination, he
should apply for a warrant for his apprehension,
when he would be placed beside the prisoner at
the bar.

The Lord Mayor said there appeared to be an
attempt to frustrate justice, but as long as ho sat
there, he would do all he could to prevent it.

The prisoner was remanded for a week.
Gustave Stovin was placed at the bar charged
with being concerned in the uttering of a forged
bill of exchange.

Mrs. Goldstand, of Albert-terrace, the wife of a
commission agent who is in custody for uttering a
forged note, said—On the occasion of my husband's
first examination on Saturday last, the prisoner
came to me and asked me how my husband was
taken, and what Mr. Simpson had said, and I was
about to reply when I was told I must not talk, and
the prisoner walked away. I did not sec him again
until Monday morning, when I met him in Bishops-
gate-street with Mr. Striiinner. I said to prisoner,
"It is a very serious affair," and he asked me if
my husband had a warrant against him, when I
replied, " How can he have a warrant against
you when he is in custody ?" Prisoner said,
"Because if he has, I must not appear in the open
street. If your husband had not said I had given
him the bill, I would have come forward. A man
named Ebo gave me the bills, which I gave to
Mr. Goldstand." I asked him if he would go
up and make a statement at the Mansion •
house, but he declined. I saw him the next day at
the Ship publichouse, when he said he would have
come forward if my husband had not mentioned him
as the person who gave him the bill. lie also said if
he came forward my husband would be let out
and ho would be detained, and for the few shillings
he had received for the bills he would not like that.
Ultimately he said he would attend, but he was
not present. He said he knew persons who saw
Ebo write similar names as those in the forged
bills and give them to different parties to
get rid of. Prisoner told me if I would be at the
Ship as yesterday, he would have the man there. I
went, but he was not-there, and, after waiting
some time, he came, and I then wished him to go to
a solicitor to make his statement, but he refused,
saying, " This child don't see it right to be put in
that position."

On cross-examination witness said she never
promised the prisoner two pounds if he would come
forward and give evidence to clear her husband.
Police-constable 868 said he took the prisoner
into custody yesterday at the Ship public-house in
Worm wood-street.

The Lord Mayor remanded the prisoner, and re,
fused to admit him to bail.

pany at the marquee, and he carried the spoons
with him in his hand.

The policeman, recalled, said the spoons were in
the prisoner's hands when he stopped him.
Mr. Paget said he would give the prisoner the
benefit of the doubt on his mind and discharge him,
but he would earnestly advise him to be very
cautious in future and not take away spoons in
his hands from a public festival.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPT TO H ANTI A MAN.-llumphrey Thornton, a

tailor out on strike, was charged before Mr. K^oz with
assaulting Israel Woodstang, a travelling glazier living in
Vincent-street, Goodman-buildings.
The Genii-lainaut said —Yesterday afternoon I was doing
a job at the Green Dragon public-lions?, King-street,
Regent-street,. when the prisoner calm) up and 4,thered
him and then broke his glass and rule, and after wards came
up to him with a piece of string, which he put round Lis
neck, saying, "I will hang you,,, and he hurt my neck so
much that I could not sleep all night.
Inspector Harrison—The mark of the string is still per-
ceptible on the complainant's neck.

The Complainant—My neck is very bad.
Le prisoner's paid the amount of the damage.
Mr. Kuox—Was the prisoner drunk

A friend of

Complainant—No, I think ho was sober. The prisoner
was a little bit in drink, and did not know what I was

doing.

Mr. Knox—You have done a very serious thing.
Police-constable Alfred Burroughs, 100 0, said yester-
day afternoon the prisoner came to me at the close of the
police court, and said ho wanted to see the magistrate, as
he had been assaulted, and that a man had put a string
round his neck, and attempted to hang him. I noticed a
mark on his neck, showing that there had been great pres-
sure. I then went with him to the Green Dragon public-
house, and he pointed out the prisoner as tho person who
had assaulted him, and I took him into custody, he being
drunk at the time. _

Mr. Knox—lt is a serious case. You might have cut
into the arteries of the man's neck. It is a most unjustifi-
able assault, and you might have injured the man for
life.
The Prisoner—l did not know what I was doing. I was
drunk at the time.
Mr. Knox—Drunkenness is no excuse whatever. You
will have to pay a- fine of £5, or be committed for a
month.
