SHERIFFS' -COURT. - -
A TRANSLATOR OF OLD BOOTS AND SIiORS-LARIZARD

T. DREW.

This was a judgment summons, and the debt was 110
in money, borrowed some time ago,
his Honour said—lt was necessary, as defendant at-
tended, to examine him as to the cause of non-payment.
Mr. Buchanan, who attended for plaintiff, then ex-
amined defendant as to his means.

Defendant said he had no means at present, neither had
he any prospects when he borrowed the money. His wife
sold cat's meat. He certainly had two places of business,
but for one ho only paid ls. 6d. per week. It was a very
small place, and had formerly been occupied by a translator
of old boots and shoes. (Laughter.)
His Honour—Oh, dear i what's that ?
Defendant—Why, vulgarly called a cobbler. (Roars of
laughter.)
Mr. Buchanan—My client has been very badly treated
in this case, and when he has applied for his money he. Las
been sneered at.

Defendant denied this, but his Honour was of opinion
that this was one of those cases in which it was necessary
to carry out the provisions of the Act. Defendant will be
committed for 20 days.

MEDICAL FEES-IMPORTANT CASE-FOESTTH V.

HUTCIIINSON.

This was a summons to recover a bill for medicine, &c.,
supplied to defendant.

Mr. Buchanan, for plaintiff, said the case had been
adjourned as plaintiff was not a licentiate of the Apothe-
caries' Company. Now he was a member of the College of
Surgeons in Scotland, and the case he attended was a
surgical oase.

His Honour was very sorry that plaintiff could not re.
cover. Not being a member of the Apothecaries' Com-
pany, he should not have supplied the medicine. At the
same time he considered it very unjust on defendant's part,
after having received plaintiff's goods and advice, to set up
a defence of this sort.

Defendant had offered 305., but pkintiff would not accept
the amount,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

AN INCORRIGIBLE DRUNKARD.—Elizabeth Williamson,
an old Scotchwoman, who has been brought to this court
nearly 100 times, charged with drunkenness, was again
brought up, charged with being drunk and begging in the
Haymarket,

The constable said he heard her speaking to two gentle-
men, and asking for alms, saying that she was a poor
widow, and on their refusing to assist her, she being drunk
at the time, she made use of a very disgusting expression
towards them.

Prisoner—Oh, dear no. I was only asking for the price
of a bottle of ginger beer.

The constable said she had been at this court previously
this week, and discharged by Mr. Beadon, and at Bow-
street on the previous day, where she was also discharged.
Mr. Bingham said he would do her the greatest kind-
ness, and commit her for a month.
A FRIEND IN NEED.—Mr. George D'Eyncourt, of 39,
Duke-street, St. James's (but who give the name of Bob
Sawyer), was charged with being drunk and incapable in
the Haymarket.

It appeared that a constable named Waight, 90, seeing
the defendant in the Haymarket in a far gone condition,
for the sake of protection took him into custody, whereby
some gold and silver he had about him was taken care of
and handed over to him in court, the constable thus proving
himself a real friend, and enabling him to pay the fine of
55., which he readily did.
