LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

CITY SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
THE "CLASHING " OF THE " COURTS."-BOSSY V.

THOMPSON.
This was a judgment summobs adjourned from June
last.

Mr. Buchanan, Basinghall-street, appeared for the
defendant, who had obtained a final order from the In•
solvent Court before the judgment of this court issued,
and the name of the creditor, the present plaintiff, ap-
peared in the schedule filed in the Insolvent Court, and
due notice had been given to him as required by the act.
The case was adjourned until to-day to see whether the
defendant would be in a condition to pay the whole or
any part of the debt.
The defendant now said he was not in a position to
pay any part of the debt, as he had a wife and eight
children to support.
His Honour said the case had been adjourned to give
him time to recover himself; and unless he now made
some satisfactory offer he must be committid.

Mr. Buchanan submitted that though his Honour had
power to commit under thee City Act, yet that could only
be on being satisfied that the defendant had means and
refused to pay, and that it was a matter entirely in the
discretion of the judge. He tben went through the
several acts relating to insolvency, and finally referred
to the 19th and 20th section, 108 Vic., which repeated
the 102 d section of the General County Court Act, a 3 to
the commitment of bAnkrupt3 who had obtained their
certificate of conformity under the Bankrupt Laws, er
a bankrupt had obtained his final order under the Insol-
vency. The City had not been diligent enough to get
their act amended, and he had no doubt his Honour, in
the exercise of the discretion vested in him, would not
enforce a power under the City Act, which could not
be exercised under the County Courts Act if his Honour
were presiding at Whitochapel.
His Honour said he would and did, and ordered the
defendant to be committed for 14 days.
Mr. Buchanan said he must respectfully express his in-
tention to immediately apply to the Commissioner of the
Insolvent Court, who, acting on precedent, would order
the defendant's discharge. It appeared to be unjust
that a man who had undergone the ordeal of passing
ons court and had been absolv AI from his debts, should
be made pay by another.
His Honour intimated that if the defendant were
discharged and again brought before him on another
summons he should commit again.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.)

GUILDHAL G.

ATTEMPTED SIIICIDE.—Kate Fieliagan, a young wo-
man 20 years of age, was placed at the bar before Sir P.
Laurie, charged with attempting self-de traction.
It appeared from the evidence of police-c mstable 709,
that this morning, about a quarter before two o'clock,
he was on duty near Blackfriark,-bridge. He saw the
prisoner on the steps near the water, and went to her
and asked her what she was doing. She said she was
waiting for the tide to rise to destroy herself. She was
in a very agitated state, but she promised not to destroy
herself, and he let her go. Oa his return to the bridge
he again found her there, when he took her into custody.
After she was locked up she attempted to strangle her-
self with a piece of bonnet ribbon. This was the third
time she had attempted sell-destruction.
Her mother, a wretched 'looking woman, was present,
and in answer to the elderman's question, said that
her daughter was a servant, but had been out of service
about two years. She believed the cause of her conduct
on this occasion was grief at her father's illness, who
was not expected to live out the day. She attempted
self-destruction at BlackCriare-bridge about six months
ago. Drink was then the cause of it.
Police-constable 709 said that the girl told him she
had had words with her mother that induced her to
leave her home.
Sir P. Laurie expressed his doubts that the mother's
explanation was the true cause of the prisoner's conduct.
Pollee-constable 707—Her mother told him that the
prisoner took poison once.
The prisoner having promised not to offend again in a
similar manner, was discharged.
Sir P. Laurie said that a very important inquiry was
now going on relative to the number of attempted
suicides that had taken place in this way, and how
many had been prevented. It would be ready about the
end of the month. It was a subject he hal paid much
attention to with a view to its prevention, and when the
return he alluded to was furnished the public would
have an opportunity of judging how far he had been
successful.
The prisoner then left the dock.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
DABING WATCII RONSERY.—Ed ward Weave and
Rachel Williams were placed at the bar before Mr.
Beadon, charged with stealing a valuable gold watch
from the person of Mr. George Turner, engraver, 43,
Berwick-street, Soho.
It appeared from the evidence of police-constable 194
C, that ho was on duty in Dean-street when his atten-
tion was called to the two prisoners, who appeared to be
watching the movements of the prosecutor, who was
coining down the street. Seeing that the latter was
rather the worse for liquor ho kept his eye upon the
prisoners' actions, and at last the mtl9 prisoner left the
woman and walked up to the prosecutor whom he del►-
berately felled to the ground by a violent blow with hi 3
fist. The male prisoner then joined the female and they
both ran away. Witness stepped from his hiding place
and intercepted them, and took there iota custody. The
prosecutor then came up and informed him that the
prisoner Weave had robbed him of his watch, which
witness subsequently picked up about 20 yards from the
spot. Witness added that the prosecutor was not in
attendance at present, and th3refore wished to have the
prisoners remanded.
Remanded accordingly till the 17th inst.

THAMES.
SINGULAR ROBBERY AT A RAILWAY STATION.--Han-
nah Fossett, a vulgar looking woman, aged 31 years, of
No. 7, Globe-lane, Mile-end-road, was brought before
Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a rortmoonaie con-
taining three half sovereigns, two half crowns, a florin,
a stilling, six sixpences, awl a fourponny pieee, from the
person of George .Haynes, cf No. 9, Cross street, Homer-
ton.

'lle prosecutor stated that he was porter at the Bow
station of the North Londc,a Rail way. At about twelve
&clock last night he was at the station waiting for a late
excursion train when the prisoner came there, sat down
on a form alongside of him and Latred into cony( r Ation
with him. She got close t) him but he took no notice of
that until he found his purse being withdrawn from his
pocket. He rose from his seat and the prisoner rushed
up-stairs and when she had gotto the top near the office
he heard something drop. It was a florin which he
picked up. He then attempted to secure the prisoner
who flung something from her on to the railway, and
he heard the dropping of gold and silver upon it. He
gave the prisontr into custody, and then went up and
down the line with a lanthorn and saw the porte mon-
naie in one place, three half sovereigns about L.' yard
from it, and the silver strewed about in all directions on
the line between the metals. He recovered the whole
of the money he had lost.
The prisoner denied that she had robbed tho prose-
cutor at al!. She was not near him.
The prisoner was recalled, and said the prisoner sat
close by to him on the left hand side. The porte monnaie
was in the left hand trousers pocket. He felt the pri-
soner drawing the ports monuaie out of his pocket. It
was done in an instant.
A police constable said the prieoner was a most noto-
rious thief. He had seen her prowling about the Mile-
end-road and Bow-road after sunset for long time past.
Mr. Yardley directed Mr. Bowden, the second clerk,
to take the depositions, and when they were completed
asked the prisoner if she pleaded guilty or not guilty.
The prisoner—Not guilty.
Mr. Yardley—Then, I commit you for trial.

UNITED GERMANY !—The Last- 3erman Post expresses
its astonishment and sincere regret at the absence of a
Prussian deledatefrom the statistical congress of Vienna.
Twenty-seven Governments, and amongst these Turkey
and Russia, have sent representatives to Vienna. Prus-
sia alone has not done so. The Augsburg Gazate says :
—" It is sad to be obliged to confess that the tbird in-
ternational statistical congress gives to Europe the op-
portunity of witnessing a picture of the die union of Ger-
many. Although the Austrian Government sent an ex,
press invitation to Prussia, the latter has thought it
expedient not to have any representative at the congress."
This absence of a Prussian delegate from Vienna is the
more remarkable, as Prussia was represented at the sta-
tistical congress which was held two years ago in Paris.
A HUSBAND ADVERTISED.—BeIow we copy an ad-
vertisement from the Cleveland Plaindealer: —" My
late husband, Isaiah Faulkner, has lately advertised to
the put he that I have left his bed and board without any
provocation, and that he will pay no debts of my con-
tracting. Now, it is true that I have loft him, but not
his bed or board. He never had a bed that was not
borrowed, nor any board' worth having, except the
last spring freshet. As for paying debts, nobody will
be wiser for his advertisement ; he has hard work to
get to owe any, and don't pay on principle when he
does. His promises are poor moonshine, and his credit
a a dried-up' bellocn. I hereby give notice to all
married and unmarried women to be on their guard
against his coming round—he is red-headed and dan-
gerous. Put him oat; don't trust him on my account.
—Jane Faulkner."
TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.—Vexatious typographical
errors will sometimes occurs in newspapers, in spite of
all the vigilance that can be ex-rcised. Editors du not
often trouble themselves much about them, knowing
tbeir readers to be capabl!e of distinguishing those that
are the fault of the proof-reader, and trusting for indul-
gence to the extenuating circumstances of hate and
hurry in going to press. They cannot always be avoided,
even when time is given for thorough reading. and all
perceivable cautions adopted. We recently mot with
a peculiar historical fact, which may be appositely re-
lated in this connexion. It is to the effect that, about
a 100 years ago, a number of the professors of the EJin-
burgh University attempted to publish a work which
should be a perfect specimen of typographical accuracy.
Every precaution was taken to secure the desired result.
Six experienced proof-readers were employed, who de-
voted hours to the reading of each page ; and, after it
was thought to be perfect, it was pasted up in the Uni-
versity, with a notification that a reward of 501. sterling
would be paid to any person who could discover an
error. Each page was suffered to remain two weeks in
the place where it had been pasted before the work was
completed, and the professors thought they had attained
the object for which they had been striving. When the
work was issued it was discovered that several errors
had been committed—one of which wain the first line
of the first page. —Some 1-puma.
