LAW INTELLIGENCE.---(TELS DAY.)

WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT.
(Before Mr. Bayley and a Jury.
LITTLEWOOD V. TILE EQUITABLE GAS COMPANY.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the proprietor
of Joseffe 'Dining Rooms, Strand, against the Equitable
Gas Company, to recover damages alleged to have been
sustained through the proceedings of the servants of the
said company.

Mr. Hutchinson appeared for Mrs. Littlewood, and Mr.
Robinson for the Equitable Gas Company.
Mr. Hutchinson, at some length, stated his case to the
jury, from which it appeared that the gas cons umed on the
premises was supplied by the defendants, one of the con-
ditions being that a sum of £5 should be paid in advance.
The:plaintiff objected to such an arrangement, but as the
money had been formally paid under protest the company
continued to supply the gas until the £5 in hand
was exhausted, and then they threatened plaintiff
to stop the supply unless the deposit of £5 in advance was
renewed. Plaintiff refused to accede to such terms, and the
servants of the company then proceeded to open up the
street in front of the house to cut off the gas. As it was
of importance to the plaintiff that such should not be done,
the money was paid under protest, and teas was supplied
as usual. The plaintiff, thinking the company was not
justified in acting as they had done, brought the present
action to try the point, and also to recover damages alleged
to have been sustained in consequence of the obstruction of
the footway before the house.

Mr, Robinson said it appeared to him to be a question of
law. The company said to the tenant you must pay me
ain advance. Mrs. Littlewood said she would not do so,
and the company then said you shan't have the gas. He
said the company had a right to mako the demand, and if
it was not complied with they had a right to refuse to sup-
ply the gas.

The Judge—l think they have the right to cut off tho
gas.

Mr. Hutchinson—Then they have a right to do just u
hey please.

Mr. Robinson—We have as much right to claim the
monoy first, as the plaintiff has to claim the gas.
The Judge—The company have by their act the right to
cut off the gas if they please, or refuse to supply.
Mr Hutchinson—ln case there is an implied contract.
The Judge—l think they have.
_ _

Mr. Hutchinson— Notwithstanding there is nothing
due ?

The Judge—Yes, they have such a right. It appears
they went on supplying the gas until there was no deposit,
and I think they can, if they please, refuse to supply unless
their terms are agreed to. I have gone over very atten-
tively the Acts of Parliament relating to gas companies,
and I think the Gas Consolidated Act expressly gives them
the power they have exercised.
The plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited.

—Ellen Redding, an inmate of St. Martin's Workhouse,
was charged with breaking 43 panes of glass of the value

saw the prisoner, who had just ceased her work of destruc-
tion, having demolished 43 panes, and on asking why she

medical assistance. The value of the glass was £3 4s.

a long statement, to the effect that she could not get tea

the head nurse l'ecause the door was locked ; that the
bread was sour, and that she was half starved; and that
the place where they had to work was under ground and
damp, and that she could not stand it any longer.

The medical officer said he had examined the place and
found no offensive effluvia, but it was ordered to be white-
washed.

maggots were there, and that she had ate nothing since
