LAW INTELLIGENCE.(T.HIS DAY.)

SHERIFFS' COURT.

ACTION UPON A GUARANTEE.-THOMAS V. ROBERTSON.

This was a summons which had been twice adjourned in
consequence of technical objections and errors in the par-
ticulars.

Mr. Buchanan, for plaintiff, stated that £4 12s. 6d. worth
of goods was supplied to a Mrs. Conquer, upon the specific
guarantee of defendant. The goods were, delivered in due
course, and application made to defendant for payment.
Mr. Dunn, of Kingsland, for defendant, objected to the
guarantee, and said there was no condition on the face
of it.

His Honour remarked that that was not now required.

The question then arose, in consequence of Mr. Dunn's
examination, whether Mrs. Conquer had a husband living.
His Honour remarked that it did not matter, after the
guarantee, if she had a husband—besides he might have
been an infant.

--
Mr. Buchanan contended that he had proved delivery
and receipt of the goods, and that the guarantee was suffi-
cient.

____,
His Honour found for plaintiff, and, although the amount
was under £5, allowed the attorney, considering it was a
case calling for an advocate.

[MPORTANT QUESTION AND DECISION.- CLIFTON T.

WALKER.

This was a summons to recover a sum of money for
goods sold to a Charles Walker, jun. It appeared that the
summons had been served upon Charles Walker, sen.,
father to the defendant.

Defendant's father said that he received the summons,
which had not been handed to his son, who knew nothing
about it.

Plaintiff said he told Mr. Walker, sen., that the sum..
mons was for his son.

In answer to his Honour, Mr. Walker said that defen-
dant slept in his house.

His Honour held the service to be good, making a short
order, and adding some condemnatory remarks.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

JUSTICE NOT TO BE DEFEATED.—SERIOUS ASSAULT
ON A WlFE.—Michael J. M'Hugh, of 5, Green's-court,
Soho, was charged with being drunk and assaulting his
wife, blackening both her eyes and cutting her shoulder
with a knife.

Police-constable 99 C said, that he was informed a man
was murdering his wife at 5, Green's-court, on the pre-
vious night, and on going there he found that the prisoner
had greatly ill-used his wife. Both her eyes were blackened
and she had a severe cut on her shoulder blade, which he
was informed by the mother of the injured woman was
done by the prisoner with a knife.

Mr. Beadon asked where the wife and her mother were,
and being informed that neither were in attendance, said
he would have them sent for, and shortly after the mother
appeared but not the wife.

Winifred Moran, the mother-in-law of the prisoner, was
then sworn, but in answer to the questions of Mr. Beadcn,
said that her daughter had the " drop taken," that she
aggravated the prisoner, and that the prisoner was not to
blame. On being pressed as to how she came with the
wound on her shoulder, she said, " she must have fallen
down stairs," and she denied that she had told the consta-
ble the prisoner had used a knife, and said that her daughter
was drunk at the time.

The constable said she distinctly told him that the wound
was done with a knife.

It being evident that the wife was kept out of the way
Mr. Beadon said he would remand the prisoner from time
to time till he did get the wife in attendance. He was de-
termined not to allow such assaults to go unpunished, and
the prisoner was then remanded.
