Mrs. Hill proved:paying a!mall sum to the prisoner.

Mr. Perry cross -examined the witnes at considerable
length, and elicited that the prisoner had frequently. re.
ceived monies from witness, for which he had given regular
receipts.

ML Smith proved paying a small sum to the prisoner.
Neither of these sums had been accounted for by the pri-
soner. One witness from whom prisoner had received 2s.
6d. said that the prisoner brought him the money and
asked him to pay it to Mr. Bark, who refused it.
The Alderman put some questions to the prosecutor as to
the sums received by the prisoner being entered in a book,
and there being some doubt, ordered the prisoner to be dis-
charged.

"THE COLD SHOULDER."—A CASE OF OBSTRUCTION.
—Mr. James Hudson, a silk agent and warehouseman, of
Milk-street, appeared in support of a summons taken ot,t
against Messrs. Brown and Davis, for obstructing a certain
courtway, in Clement's-court.

Mr. Nason appeared for the defendant.
The plaintiff said that, the entrance to and egress from
the court was blocked up almost constantly by a sledge,
used by defendants in their business• This sledge was a
great obstruction, and plaintiff* came forward upon public
grounds. •

In his cross-examination, plaintiff said that Mr. Davis
was a gentleman, but Mr. Brown had given him the cold
shoulder. (Laughter.) ' He never had any quarrel with
Mr. Brown, all he had was the " cold shoulder," (Laughter.)
Ho (plaintiff) used the court himself, and meant to have a
door leading to it. He used the court in his ordinary
course of business. He had been very uncivilly treated by
defendant's porter, who was the terror of the neighbour-
hood. As to the size of the sledge he would not and could
not say anything About that—indeed, there was.rio occasion
as Mr. Mason had taken care to inform himself of the
dimensions this morning. Defendant's porter was the
terror of the neighbourhood, but he (plaintiff) never called
him a viper. (Laughter)

Defendant's foreman was called, and said that the sledge
was removed as soon as the work in which it was necessary
was. completed. It was placed against the wall of the court
on its edge. Plaintiff had insulted this witness very grossly.
He (plaintiff) used the court for his purposes. The sledge
complained of had been in the court for nine years, and no
one had ever said anything about it.
Mr. Mason said he could call witnesses who resided in
the locality, who.ivould depose that the sledge was not a
nuisance.

Mr. Alderman Mechi said that was nothing, as the act of
parliament was very stringent, and the article obstructed
one person who complained, and he had the right to redress,
There was nothing to prevent the defendant using the
sledge, but it must be removed into defendant's premises.
If this was done he (the Alderman) would not convict.
Mr. Mason—That being so we will remove it.

Alderman—Oh! I must convict. I shall be very sorry.
You had bettor be good friends.
The parties thou left.the court.
