COURT Op QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice Blackburn, and
Justices Mellor and Shoe.)
TARNER V. WALKER.-THE CORNHILL BURCLARY.
This was a motion for a new trial under circumstances
which have already been frequently before the public. The
plaintiff is a watchmaker, carrying on business at Wilder-
ness-row, Clerkenwell, and he brought an action to re-
cover the amount of £250 of a reward offered by Mr. Wal-
ker, the watchmaker, for information leading to the deten-
tion of the burglars, and also £750 for the recovery of a
portion of the same or a proportionate part of it,
and the plaintiff obtained a verdict against the de-
fendant, who refused to give moro than the value
of two of the watches recovered. The reward for the
conviction of the burglars was disputed on the ground that
the information supplied wns too vague to have led to
the said conviction. A. rule had been obtained calling on
the plaintiff to show cause why their should not be a new

Mr. Sergeant Parry now showed cause against the rule,
and Mr. Laylor followed on the same side.

Mr. D. Seymour, Q.C., replied.
The Court refused to grant a new trial, and the rule
was accordingly discharged, with leave to the defendant to
appeal.

THE QUEEN T. THE PATENT EURIKA SEWAGE AND MANURE

COMPANY.
In this case a rule having been obtained, calling on the
defendant to show cause why a fine should not be en-
forced against him for a nuisance in the neighbour-
hood of Hyde, caused by the works of the above
company, and why ho should not abate the nuisance. The
case was heard before Mr. Baron Bramwell, and the notes
of the learned judge were read. In evidence it was de-
posed that human excrement and other most offensive
matter were subjected to a process of boiling and mixing
with bones and other materials at the works of the de-
fendants. The effluvium was described by seve-
ral witnesses as being .pf the most disgusting
description, producing nausea and vomiting, besides being
most injurious to the growth of vegetation in the neigh-
bourhood. The smell from the works was perceptible a
mile off, and one of the witnesses said that on a particular
occasion he saw 200 persons with their handkerchiefs to
their noses in conseguence. Of the nuisance. (Laughter.)

Some evidence was given on behalf of the defendants to
the effect that the nuisance had been much exaggerated,
and that there were several other nuisances in the neigh-
bourhood quite as bad, and that plants could not be injured
by the works, as no sulphuric acid was emitted.

Mr. Giffard, Q.C., was about to show cause against the
rule, when

Mr. Justice Blackburn suggested that the matter should
be referred to an engineer of the Local Board of Health be-
fore proceeding further in the case. The Court might im-
pose any fine they wished, but if the nuisance were re-
moved would merely impose a moderate fine.
The suggestion was adopted.

Well-street, that several persons were on the gr ound tear.
lug each other's hair out, kicking an fighting, and thai
the Lannings took part in the riot, which they most dis•
tinctly denied.

Mr Paget said he required the evidence of the surgeon
who dressed the wounds, and the inspect or of police who
took the charge, before he finally dispos'ed Pf the MO. He
remanded the prisoners.
