MILNE V. THE SKINNERS' COMPANY.

Mr. THESSIGER said that the questions raised in the
issue were directed by the Vice-Chancellor, namely, whether
Henry Milne's name was used by his authority in an in-
formation against the Skinners' Company, either before
the information was filed, or by adoption afterwards. On
this point the Jury would have the solemn oath of Milne
himself, who, by the order of the Vice-Chancellor, was to
be examined as a witness. The only means of disproving
this evidence must be that of proving that Milne was not
worthy of credit.
The evidence was long and uninteresting.
Mr. THESSIGEIt replied.
The Jury consulted together for a few minutes, and then
returned a verdict for the plaintiff.

COMMON PLEAS.-FRIDAY.

CLASSON V. KIRBY.

This was an action for assault. The parties are officers
of the Palace Court, and in the. habit of resorting to the
Crown public-house, in that neighbourhood ; and upon an
eveninc, in April, some larking took place, when a scuffle
ensued,' and the assault in question was committed. There
was much contradictory evidence. One of the witnesses
for the defendant stated that the plaintiff called the defen-
dant several most opprobrious names, such as a vagabond,
After this witness had been re-examined by Mr. Sergeant
Wilde, when he was about leaving the box,
Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD said—Did not the plaintiff call
the defendant an incomprehensible vagabond before any
scuffle took place ?---(Roars of laughter.)
Witness—He did.—(Continued laughter.)
Mr. Sergeant' WILDE—He did not use the word " in-
comprehensible" at first.

Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD—Oh I I beg pardon ; he did
not.—(Roars of laughter.)
Mr. Sergeant WILDE rose to address the Jury, and said
—My Learned Friend was thinking of Mr. O'Connell's
letter, and of all imaginable vagabonds.—(Continued roars
of laughter.) The Learned Sergeant then went on to speak
to evidence.

The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, Is.
ALEXANDER V. WESTERN.

This was an action brought by a brother against his
sister for defamation. Upon its being called on the Chief
Justice, with his characteristic humanity, submitted that an
arrangement should take place. It was between the closest
of relatives, and upon an occasion the most distressing to
both, the death of a parent. The offensive words were that
the plaintiff had been drunk at their mother's funeral.
After a considerable time spent in consultation between
the Counsel and their agents an apology was made, which
stated that the words were spoken under a misapprehension.

ATROCIOUS CRIME.—On Sunday morning, Ca-
therine Cahill, wife of a carman, was found lying dead
against a gate, near her husband's residence. An inquest
was held, and several witnesses having been examined, the
jury returned the following verdict :—" We find that the
deceased came by her death by being violated by some
person or persons unknown, and died in consequence."
She was about 25 years of age, and her personal appear-
ance was remarkably good. From the evidence at tho in-
quest there can
.be no doubt that the crime was committed
in a house, and that when she bad been deprived of life,
she was removed to the spot where Ale was found. She
has left two children.--Kilkenny Journal.
POTATOES.—PIots of ground which last year pro-
duced eighty sacks, have this year produced only twenty
five. The failure is attributed to the very dry summer.
