EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY•;

GOODCHILD V. GRAVES.
Mr. PLATT (with whom was Mr. ComvN) stated that
this action was brought to recover the double value of 3
quarter's occupation of a house in Hoxton. The plaintiff
was landlord of the house, and wanted to raise the rent
from 19/. 19s. to 24/. He gave notice to the defendant
that he would resume possession of his premises at the end
of a quarter, according to agreement. The defendant kept
the premises after the notice had expired, and the action
was brought in order to recover the double value of the
adverse occupation.
Formal proof was given of the tenantry and the serving
of the notice.
Mr. EARLE, for the defendant, characterised the action
as one of great hardship and oppression—he however
had no fear for the result, because he was in a situa-
tion to show that the notice had been abandoned
by the plaintiff himself. At the quarter day, when it aIY
peered he went to demand possession, he found the de:
fendant's wife very ill in bed, when he said he would not
disturb them then—they might stop for another quarter 3
the old rate.

Witnesses having proved that case,
Mr. PLATT rose to reply, when the Jury intimated that
they were satisfied the notice had been waived.
His LORDSHIP said he was much of the same opilli°o'
but Mr. Platt had a right to be beard.
Mr. PLATT said he should take the hint—both Jude
and Jury being against him, he would not take up their
time unnecessarily.
The plaintiff was then nonsuited.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
O'GORMAN MAHON.
About half-past one o'clock this afternoon, Mr. O'Gnr:s
man Mahon was brought to Bow-street from the King
Bench prison, where he had been confined for three daYst:
by order of Mr. Justice Coleridge, for contempt of Cu"rit
to answer to a warrant obtained yesterday for the assnw
on Mr. Wigley, attorney, of Pickett-place, Strand. ,fr,
Mr. MILLER appeared for the prosecutor, mid
CLARKSON for the defence.
Sir F. ROE and Mr. MINSIIULL were the presiding To
gistrates.
Mr. MILLER addressed the Bench, and observed it WI
unnecessary to detail the assault, and he therefore proposete
calling a surgeon to show its effects, and the present 50
of the por.
Sir Frosecut. ROE said it certainly was necessary, in the 4.-It
instance, to show that the prosecntor was unable to aPPef'.
Mr. Nicholas M'Cann, surgeon, of Parliament-street,u,e;
posed to having seen Mr. Wigley on Monday, first in t“.
King's Bench, and afterwards at his own house. The celf":
poral arch of the temporal bone was broken. He sz-.4W ip"'
Wigley this morning, and considered him better, and 0'
present danger, but still it would be unsafe for him to 01'
ture out of doors.
Sir F. ROE said this was enough, and all that 1.011131.nel

was to prove the fact of the assault.
Mr. CLARKSON said he would admit that a blow Ito
struck, and be was prepared to put in bail, unless the 01:
gistrates were disposed to proceed to a summary judgoe°,,e
Mr. O'Gorman Mahon advanced, and expressed a deslis
to be heard, in reply to the partial and prejudicial accouP
that had been published in the newspapers. gr,
Mr. CLARKSON and Sir F. ROE both advised
O'Gorman Mahon to abstain from saying any thing.
Mr. CLARKSON said he had a copy of the judges' o°':'o
from which it appeared the greatest possible provocoti"
was first given to Mr. O'Gorman Mahon. tbo
Mr. MILLER, on the contrary, was instructed that 0
published accounts were not so favourable to his 6°3; p
were the facts. His client was, however, willing to u'lo
all proceedings, if Mr. O'Gorman Mahon would consentijo
make an ample apology, and pay a sum of money to a Prbe
charity. Gain was not the object of his client, nor had
any vindictiveness of feeling. 10'
O'Gorman Mahon said he would never consent to ar
ee
gize or to pay any sum of money. He was prepared to 01 of
Wigley and his party here or elsewhere, in any shorio
way. Those who knew him best knew he would not 1.30
his hand against another unless under the most outrage
provocation. He only regretted he had not punished
ley
Sir more. ti'l°
F. RoE here stopped him, and ordered him to findoo
sureties in 1001. each, and enter into his own recognizal3
in 2001. to appear at the sessions.

MIDDLESEX DISPENSARY
ANNUAL BALL.
10
A ball of unusual splendour was given last lid'nig`
Willis's Room, King-street, St. James's, in aid of the
&sex Dispensary and General Lying-in Charity, vj'bli
was attended by upwards of 600 of the most fasbioo.l,B
attired and respectable society in the metropolis. iidt,
rooms were brilliantly lighted up, and the band was ocee;itil
Dancing began at a quarter past nine, and was kept up tea;
great spirit till twelve, when the party withdrew t° too
coffee, &c. Soon afterwards " the light fantastic or
was again displayed on the pliant boards, and the elj the
fulness of the night continued for some time long 0",
utmost harmony. Great credit is due to the 141, 0'
spectable stewards, (and more especially to Dr. Jewel
the
Sackville-street, Piccadilly, physician and accoucher wthelt
Institution) for the great trouble they took, and for ec'
inordinate exertions to render the assemblage large, OP
table, and satisfactory, and who undoubtedly must 0:1
felt in a measure rewarded on the occasion, from obser •
the highly gratifying manner in which the whole Wel/t,j
Unparalleled as are the extent of benefits confer",oP'
the munificent charities with which this great mets'por
abounds, there are few that deserve more general s°Pf
than the " Middlesex Dispensary," from the nature lorb
objects, and more especially as those objects are pee 004
directed to the relief of suffering infants, and the 001
tender portion of our race. The charity affords Pr 0
and the most able aid in all cases of medicine, surgrl;
midwifery, without regard to locality. Accidents Arit,ll°
tended to, without letters of recommendation, ft: tf,
observance that fatal consequences have one"

commendations. Assistance is given to the 011,'•
