LORD MAYOR'S COURT.
(Before Mr. Forsyth, Q.C., Deputy-Recorder and a
Common Jury.)

PEARCE V. THE UNITED WAREHOUSE COMPANY (LIMITED).
This was an action to recover £l6O 19s. 3d. for services
rendered to the defendants.

Mr. ilalfourd Salter appeared for the plaintiff, the com-
pany not being represented.
Mr. Salter, in opening the plaintiff's case, stated that his
client was the representative in London of a Manchester
house, and in the early part of last year he was requested
by Mr. Rogers, the secretary of the defendants' company,
to canvass the large houses in order to obtain their favours
when they wanted goods warehoused in London. Plain-
tiff worked very hard four months, but could not get any
money, and he was compelled to come to this court.
Plaintiff stated that Mr. Rogers agreed to engage him at
a salary of £250 per annum, with a promise that he should
have a situation as one of the company's buyers if ho would
assist in promoting the undertaking. In addition to this
plaintiff was to have £3O for expenses, his duties being to
go round to the large wholesale houses, to most of whom
he was well known, to obtain their support for the com-
pany. Plaintiff worked very hard for four months, when
his services were dispensed with.

A. GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING THE
POLICE.—Mr. John Keith or Grant, both names being
given, gentleman, of No. 2, Thistle-grove, Brompton, was
charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk, behaving in
a disorderly manner, and also with assaulting Police-con-
stable Wm. M'Gee, 161 C.

731 1

The constable said he was in Piccadilly last night, when
he was called by a cabman, in consequenco of the defen-
dant, who was drunk, having got into his cab and refusing
to say where he wished to be taken to. While he was
talking to the cabman the defendant jumped out of the
cab and knocked him down. He was obliged to get assist-
ance to take the defendant into custody, and on the way
to the station the defendant struck him several times, but
did not hurt him much.

The defendant said ho was roughly used.
Mr. Knox observed that it was very likely the defen-
dant was if he was drunk and violent.

A witness having corroborated the constable,
The defendant said he had no recollection of the matter.

Mr. Knox remarked that it was all very well for the de-
fendant to say he had no recollection of the matter, but he
had knocked down a constable 'who was only doing his
duty, and the police must be protected. If the defendant
had injured the constable he would have sent him to pri-
son for two months. As it was the defendant would have
to pay 405., or a month, and for the futuro he had better
keep his hands off the police.

Dublin Metropolitan Junction Railway.
MEETING THIS DAY.

The first ordinary meeting of this company was
held at their offices, 8, Delahoy-street ; Sir Percy
Nugent, Bart., in the chair.

The object of this undertaking, which received the
sanction of Parliament last year, is to form a junction
with the Dublin, Wexford, and Wicklow, and the
Great Southern and Western of Ireland. It com-
mences by a junction with the Dublin and Rath-
mines Railway near Camden-row, and terminates
in Watling-street, at one portion of the metro-
polis. There were also to be termini in other
parts, so as to form the required links between
the two important lines specified. The capital is to
be £160,000, and the cost of construction is esti-
mated at £lOO,OOO a mile, and the whole of the
capital is divided into 16,000 shares. The bill pro-
vides very stringent regulations respecting
the construction of the line both with
reference to safety and to sanitary conside-
rations, several penalties being imposed for
interference with the gas and water supplies along
the route of the line. The Act specially provided
that, in the event of the line not being constructed
at the expiration of five years from the fusing of
the Act, the poWers of the company shall cease,
except so far as any of the complete portions.
After the usual preliminaries, Sir Percy Nugent,
Sir John Gray, and Messrs. J. Revolta, D. Tracy,
and L. G. Knox were appointed directors. The
auditors and other officers were also elected, and the
proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.
