SHERIFFS' COURT.

SINGULAR QUESTION OF PRACTICE-LEVY V. HAWKESLEY:

This case being called on, an attorney said that he held
the instructions in the unavoidably momentary absence of
Mr. Beard.

His Honour—l see—an attorney instmeted by an at-
torney. I cannot hear you.
Some discussion then arose upon this question, and it
was stated that it had been customary during the judgeship
of Mr. Gurney (the Recorder) and the late Mr. Pren-
dergast. _ _ .

His Honour—ln this Court we cannot hear a barrister
unless instructed by an attorney, and it would be rather
hard upon the bar to permit an attorney, instructed by
another attorney. . .

At this moment Mr. Beard came into court, and thus
saved further discussion. The debt being admitted, costs
followed.

PHILLIP V. HOVE.-SHOCKING PERJURY.
(Before a Jury.)

This was an action which had been adjourned by his
Honour to have the opinion of a jury as to whether plaintiff
or defendant committed perjury. _

Mr. Cooper, instructed by Mr. W. B. Davies, appeared
for defendant.

The action was brought to recover 28s. for a week's
wages, in lieu of notice.
Plaintiff said that when he was engaged, defendant ex-
pressly said, " It is understood that it is to be a week's
notice on either side." In cross-examination, plaintiff said
he was paid piece-work.
A man named Amos then said he heard defendant agree
to the week's notice in " either way." In cross-exami-
nation, he said, "When plaintiff asked me in the shop if I
heard Mr. Howe agree to give a week's notice, I replied—
So help me God, Frank, he didn't." (Sensation.)
The Jury did not wish to hear any more, and found for
defendant. _ _ _

His Honour, in giving costs, said he should have corn•
mitted plaintiff and Amos had there been a chance of a con.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A CASE FOR THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS.-Mr. John
Joseph Haberfield, a master tailor, of Sutton-street, Soho,
Wm. Delaparalle, and Wm. Simmonds, in the employ of
Messrs. Crosse and Blackwell, of Soho-square, were charged
with creating a disturbance and assaulting the police.
The evidence of constable Bunce, 88 C, and Byers, 48
C, was to the effect that on Saturday night, or rather Sun-
day morning, the defendants were all talking together and
making a great noise, and having expostulated with them,
and me their refusing to go away, he took them into cus-
tody, when Bunco was violently assaulted by Haberfield
and Simmonds, the latter of whom kicked Bunce several
times, they all being drunk.
Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for
the defendants, and said that the defendant Haberfield was
standing at his own door when he was dragged away by
Bunco, the only cause being that he had complained of his
not removing a drunken man ; and the other defendants
being taken because they expostulated with the officer.
Several witnesses were called for the defence, whose evi-
dence went to show that the police had greatly exceeded
their duty—some of them saying their conduct was marked
with great brutality, one of the defendants being struck on
the head with the constable (Bunce's) rattle, and that the
bystanders cried " shame " at the officer's conduct.
The case lasted some time, and great interest seemed to be

felt in it.
Haberfield was fined 10s., Simmonds 205., and Dela•
paralle 10s.
