murder.

LAW INTELLIGENCE,—This Day.

BAIL COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn and a Common Jury.)
BAKER V. STEVENS.

In this case the plaintiff brought an action to enforce
the payment of £203 ls. 7d., which had been disputed by
the defendant. The plaintiff was a builder at Kilburn,
and was employed by the defendant, a gentleman residing
at North-villa, Regent's-park. The defendant paid some
money on account, and there was a balance loft of over
£5OO, for which the plaintiff, not being able to obtain
payment, brought an action, and the matter was re-
ferred to the arbitration of two surveyors, ono selected
by the defendant, and the other by the plaintiff.
Pending the arbitration the plaintiff paid £3OO on
account, and the arbitration made an award for the amount
now claimed. The defendant being dissatisfied the case
was brought before Mr. Justice Crompton, and the matter
was again referred, and the arbitrators confirmed their
award. It appeared that the defendant alleged that some
trivial repairs, amounting to the value of about £lO, had
not been done by the plaintiff, who ultimately agreed to
forego that amount. The defendant was invited to an
interview by the arbitrators previous to the award being
made, and one of the grounds on which the defendant
disputed the award was, that it had not been made within
three months after the reference as required by the act pf
Parliament.

There was no evidence called, but some correspondence
between the parties was read, and the jury immediately
found a verdict for the plaintiff with costs.

Leave was given to the defendant to move.

CLERKENWELL COUNTY COURT.
(Before Mr. Tyxesll.)
THE TALLY SYSTEM.
Not far short of one hundred tally cases were set down
for hearing, being divided between two plaintiffs, but out
of thislarge number only three cases were defended. In
the first, Clements v. West, the plaintiff deposed to having
sold defendant's wife goods to the extent of 365.
Defendant —Did you ever see me?
Plaintiff—No, I cannot say I ever have; but your wife
had the things.
Mr. Cheese (the registrar)—What were the goods ?
Plaintiff—Calico, flannel, and dress piece.
In answer to 'Mr. Cheese, the defendant .snid that he
earned 30s. per week, and out of this he gave his wife 275.
to keep the family. His Honour considered that defendant
made sufficient, provision for his family, and therefore
plaintiff would .be nonsuited.
In the second case, Price v. Sagg, the defendant's wife
appeared, and admitted having had the goods, butter hus-
band knew nothing about the transaction, nor had she
given him the summons.
Mr. Cheese—Why did you not give him the summons ?
The Wife—Because ho would have been so cross.
It was then ruled that as the husband had not received
the summons, and knew nothing of the supply of the
goods, no order could be made.
The third case was a very singular one, Price v. Collings.
Plaintiff proved the delivery of various articles of clothing
to the defendant, a youth about 19 years of age. De-
fendant did not deny having had the goods, but said he
was living with his mother when they were supplied, and
she ordered them.
Plaintiff—But there was a suit of mourning ?
Defendant—Yes. Mother ordered that for me before her
death. _ _

Mr. Cheese expressed his surprise that the mourning
should have been supplied before the death of the mother.

Defendant—My mother was very ill, and said she
thought I had better have a suit of mourning.
His Honour said that the lad was only 19 years old, and
the goods appeared to have been ordered by his mother.
Plaintiff must be nonsuited.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE--This Day.

M A RLBOROUGH-S TREET.

OUTRAGE ON A RESPECTABLE FEMALE.--Peter 41 'Qnillan,
a shoemaker, of No. 30, Little Windmill-street, was charged
with assaulting Eliza Owen, a young married woman, re-
siding in Glasshouse-street, Regent-street.
Mrs. Owen said that about 9 o'clock last night she was
passing along Warwick-street, when the prisoner followed
her and assaulted her in a most disgraceful manner. She
went after the prisoner with the intention of giving him
into custody, when he turned round and gave her two
blows in the face. _ _

V.
In answer to Mr. Knox the complainant said the pri-
soner appeared to have been drinking.
Mr. Rae, of Warwick-street, said he was standing at his
door last night, when he saw the prisoner, who was mad
drunk, deliberately strike the complainant on the eye, at
the same time saying he would knock any one down who
came in his way. The complainant had not at the time
said anything to the prisoner.
Police-constable Win. Jones, 377 A, said the prosecu-
trix informed him that she had been grossly assaulted and
struck in the face, and he took the prisoner into custody.
The prisoner said some youngsters had annoyed him
and knocked his hat off, and he ran after them and came iu
collision with someone, but ho was so arunx Lh.t. he did
not know what occurred.

Mr. Knox told the prisoner that if he thought drunken-
ness was an excuse for such conduct as he had been guilty
of he was much mistaken, and if he (the magistrate) was
not sternly to repress such conduct he would not be
worthy of his position. A respectable female is passing
along the street, the prisoner thrusts his hand up her
clothes, and after she has thus been outraged the prisoner
strikes her twice in the face. Tho utmost punishment he
could give the prisoner was two months, and for that term
the prisoner should be committed, with hard labour.

THAMES.
DIABOLICAL ASSAULT ON A WOMAN.—Michael Welch, an
Irish labourer, about 30 years of age, was brought before
Mr. Partridge, on remand, charged with violently assault-
ing Elizabeth Callaghan, an elderly woman.
The prosecutrix was in a very
weakly condition from
loss of blood and the frightful wounds she had received,
and she was as pale as a spectre. She lives at No. 10,
Narrow-street, Rateliff, and the prisoner, who is a very
desperate and intemperate man, and a bad neighbour, was,
unfortunately for her peace and happiness,
living in the
same house. A few evenings siace be was intoxicated and
exceedingly boisterous. He entered her room and abused
her, and when she requested him to leave he flung her on
the fire in her room, and her clothes were in a blaze im-
mediately. A woman named Ann Harris, who was
present, flung a pail of water over her, and
extinguished the flames. Her gown and under garments
were burnt, and her person was scorched but slightly. The
prisoner then uttered fearful oaths, and struck at the
woman's head three times with a pkkaxe, wounding her
severely. He left her on the ground weltering in her
blood.

Ann Harris confirmed in every particular the statement
of Mrs. Callaghan, and said the prisoner struck at her
with the " iron pick," and seemed intent on committing

Thomas Gudgin, police-constable, No. 374, was called
to the house, No. 10, Narow-street on the evening of
Wednesday, the last day of October. Mrs. Callaghan was
bleeding from wounds on the bead. He found the pri-
soner in his own room with a pickaxe. There was blood
on the handle of it. The prisoner was drunk.
Mr. D. Ross, surgeon, of No. 10, Commercial-place, Com-
mercial-road, was called upon on the evening of the out-
rage to attend upon the woman Callaghan. There was a
lacerated wound on the upper front part of the head 2i
inches in depth, and penetrating to the bone ; another
lacerated wound 1i inches in length, and a third lacerated
wound, also extending to the bone, over the right eye-
brow. The wounds were very dangerous ones. There was
also a small bruise on the upper part of the woman's loft
arm. She was still under medical treatment, and very ill.
He also examined the prisoner. There was a slight wound
over his left eyebrow, and a severe contusion on the right
side of his forehead.

Tho prisoner said lie was innocent of the charge, and
that the woman struck him at his own fireside.
Mr. Partridge committed the prisoner for trial, and refused
bail.
