LAW INTELLIGENCE—(nts Day).

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Joyce.)
IMPORTANT TO CITY MERCHANTS.-TOMLIN AND ANOTHER
V. ABRAMAMS.
This was an action to recover £4 odd loss upon the resale
of some fruit, &c.
A clerk in the service of the plaintiff attended, and was
asked by the Judge what he knew of the affair
Clerk—On the 9th January our broker sold to defen-
dant--

Mr. Buchanan (for defendant)—How do you know that ?

Clerk—l have here the broker's sold note.
His Honour—That will not do. We must have the
broker here. Have you ever applied to the defendant for
this money ?

Clerk—Not personally.
His Honour—Then you know nothing about it.
Clerk—l know that our broker gave notice to defendant
hat the goods would be resold.

Mr. Buchanan—That is simply a statement, and It is of
no use your making statements about facts of which you
can know nothing.
His Honour—The production of the broker's contract is
not sufficient, and you must call the broker.
Clerk—Will your honour grant an adjournment
His Honour—Yes, but you must pay the costs of defen-
dant's attorney.

Adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This' Day.)

MARLBOBOUGH•STREET.

E XTRA ORDINARY CASE—MADLLE. TITIEN'S COACH-
MAN CHARGED WITH DRUNKENNESS—THE EFFECT OF
AN IMPRDIMENT OF SPEECH.—Henry Forty, a respectable
looking man, a jobmaster, of Queen's-terrace, St. John's-
wood, was charged before Mr. Yardley with being drunk
and doing damage with his brougham to a cab, the property
of Mr. Coltman, of Vincent-square, Westminster.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Marlborough-street, appeared for
the defendant.

After some discussion, Mr. 'Yardley said he could not
entertain the charge of damage, btit that was for another
court.

The charge of drunkenness was then gone into, and cer-
tainly was a very curious one, Mr. Lewis stating that it
was a matter of great importance to the defendant, who
was a very respectable man, having several horses and
broughams, and who was engaged to drive Madlle. Titiens
to a concert at the Hanover-square Rooms on the previous
day, being engaged by that lady by the month to do so,
and that lady jobbing his brougham.
Hellich, 171 C, said the defendant was drunk, and an-
other witness and Sergeant Glass, C 3, who took the charge,
confirmed him.

For the defence, Mr. Krols, Mdlle. Titien's nephew, Dr.
Turle, of Boundary-road, St. John's-wood, and Mr.
Nation, solicitor, of Orchard-street, were called. Tho first
named said the defendant was sober when he left his
aunt's house a short time before ; Mr. Nation said that the
defendant had done some business at his house in the after-
noon, and was then quite sober ; and Dr. Turlo said that
the defendant had suffered an accident two years ago, hav-
ing his skull fractured, and that the defendant was subject
to determination of blood to the head, and which gave him
the appearance of being intoxicated, and, in addition, the
defendant had an impediment of speech that would make
any one think that ho was not sober. Ho believed the de-
fendant to be a very sober man.

Mr. Krols further added that he went with his aunt
(Madlle. Titiens) at eight o'clock to bail defendant out, and
he had no appearance then of being intoxicated.
Mr. Lewis having made some further remarks on the
case, which lasted nearly two hours,
Mr. Yardley said there had evidently been a mistake on
the part of the witnesses, they mistaking the impediment
in the defendant's speech to be the effects of drink.
The defendant was then discharged.
