LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OE QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the Lord Chief Justice and a
Special Jury.)
THE LIBEL IN THE "PALL-MALL GAZETTE."

HUNTER V. SHARPE.

His lordship summed up this day in one of the
most elaborate and able judicial addresses that
perhaps ever emanated from the judgment bench
in a case like the present. He commenced by
alluding to the vast importance of the subject of con-
sumption, out cf the treatment of which arose the present
action. It appeared that the plaintiff was at variance
with the ordinard practice in this country of treating that
disease. The evidence of medical men who had been ex-
amined was most interesting, and the science and infor-
mation developed the protracted hquiry in which they
were engaged. At the conclusion of his lordship's
summing up, the jury retired to consider their verdict,
and, after a long deliberation, returned a verdict for the
plaintiff, and assessed th 3 damages at one farthing.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
(Before Chief Justice Bovill.)
DREW T. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY.

-HEAVY DAMAGES.

This was an action brought by the administrators of
Mr. Drew for compensation against the London, Brighton,
and South Coast Railway.
Tho plaintiff during kis lifetime carried on an extensive
business as a timber merchant on Mount Pleasant, Cold
Bath-fields, and on the occasion of the terrible acci-
dent on the Brighton Railway, near the Caterham
junction, he and his wife were passengers. Both Mr
and Mrs. Drew we:o killed, and a family of young
children were thus suddenly bereft of both parents.
The administrator brought the present action to re-
cover compensation for the loss of the life of Mr. Drew,
whose nusiness, at the time of his melancholy death,was in
a very flourishing condition. There was also another
action against the company brought on the part of the chil-
dren.

On the case being called on, Mr. Hawkins, on the part
of the plaintiff, said the Brighton Railway Company had
consented to a verdict being taken in both actions for the
plaintiff, the damages in the first being set down at
£7,500, and in the second at £5OO, making £B,OOO in all.

STIOREDITCH COUNTY COURT;
(Before Mr. Dasent.)
THE MUSICIAN AND THE MUSICAL TRIPE DEALER.-

ISON V. VOXE.

This was an action to recover damages sustained by the
plaintiff, in consequence of the non-employment of his
band of musicians at the opening of the defendant's ti ipe
shop.
Plaintiff said that defendant was to open a tripe shop in
the Hackney-road on a certain Saturday night recently,
and he engaged plaintiff and four more musicians to come
and celebrate the occasion, agreeing to give them 14s.
His Honour--But what good could it do ?
Plaintiff—Oh ! it attracts peoples's attention to the shop.
His Honour—l think a great deal more attention
would be attracted if defendant had put a large card outside
his shop, notifying that for the first week all the tripe
would be given away. (Laughter.)
Defendant—No doubt it would for that week. (Renewed
laughter.)
Plaintiff —I sent the four mon at six o'clock in the even-
ing, and went myself at seven, at which time the doors
were closed. I knocked at the door, and defendant came
to answer it. He informed me that he should not require
our services, as he did not intend to open the shop, and I
could then see that he had nothing in it. I had a good
many engagements that night in Hackney, and could not
attend them.
His Honour—ls Hackney such a musical place ?
Plaintiff— Oh, very. They always have music when they
open the shops.
Defendant admitted that he was not prepared to open
his shop, but contended that plaintiff was not entitled to
recover as he did not come himself at the appointed time
Plaintiff—My band was there and they could have gone
on without me. _ .

—His Honour did not think plaintiff ought to recover the
full amount. If ho had gone to the tripe shop himself at
the appointed time, he would have found out that his band
would not be wanted, and would have been able to have
fulfilled one of his other engagements. His Honour con-
sidered that Bs. would be enough.
Verdict for the plaintiff for Bs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CAUTION TO CARMEN AND OTHERS.—George Woohidge,
a carter, in the employ of Mr. Thomas Hale, a contractor,
of Brentford, appeared before Mr. Knox to answer a. charge
of cruelty to a horse.
Mr. William Love attended on behalf of the RoyaltSociety
for the Preventfon of Cruelty to Animals.
Mr. James Wilkins, of No. 40, Belgrave-square, while
walking up Piccadilly. on Saturday, the 17th ult., :saw the
defendant driving two horses, attached to a waggon-load
of manure. The defendant tried to back one of the horses
—the wheel horse—and because it would not do so, he
struck it several times over the eyes and face, first with one
end of the whip and then with the other, the horse show-
ing marks of severe violence.
Police-constable 30 C said that he found several marks
on tho horse's face, showing that he had been illused, and,
on asking the defendant why he had ill-used the horse,
he replied that it was not fit to be used ; but the horse was
a very good one.
The defendant said the horse was a good one, but would
not back.

Mr. Knox said the defendant coal not, because a horse
would not back, be permitted to ill-use it, and he should
fine him 20s. and coats.

WESTMINSTER

DISORDERLY CASUALS.—George Stratton, a miserable-
looking fellow, was charged with tearing up his clothes
in the casual ward of St. Margaret's Workhouse.
Thomas Waterman, labour master of the casual ward at
St. Margaret's Workhouse, Westminster, said the defend-
ant was admitted between 7 and 8 o'clock on the previous
evening, and having had his supper was sent to bed. In
the morning he went to call the paupers, and defendant
could not get up as he had no clothes. Upon being asked
where they were, he said they were torn up, and witness
found them on the floor in pieces as large as his hand.
Defendant said his clothes were filthy and regged, and
not fit to walk about the streets in.

Mr. Arnold, having been informed that this system was
much practised at the workhouse, and that a fortnight ago
a batch of paupers were similarly charged, sentenced the
defendant to 14 days' hard labour.
Thomas Jones, a strong healthy follow, was charged
with refusing to work.
Waterman proved that the defendant had bed, supper,
and breakfast, and was ordered before breakfast to'break
some stones, which occupied about an hour. The other
men broke theirs and went out after breakfast, but defend-
ant did not finish his, and was set to work again after
breakfast, but did not break them, and having teen found
twice standing up, with his hands in his pockets, was taken
to the station. _ _

Defendant said he could not afford to pay for a lodging,
and was obliged to sleep in the union. He broke some
stones, and then wanted to go out and get a day's work,
else he should have to sleep in the workhouse again.
Mr. Arnold having ascertained that the work was light
said defendant was expected to do some work in return for
his lodging and supper, and sentenced him to 7 days' hard
labour.
