LAW INTELLIGENCE—Sept. 10.

BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT.
RULE V. WHITE-ACTION UPON A LOST CHEQUE.
Mr. Da La Mare appeared for the plaintiff, and
Mr. Williams for the defendant.
Mr. Waites, a licensed victualler in the Hamp-
stead-road, was in the habit of leaving change
with one of his barmen, and on the 7th or Bth July,
during his absence, his barman cashed a cheque for
101., drawn by the defendant, Mr. Walter White, a
solicitor, upon the Commercial Bank of London,
Henrietta-street, Covent garden, and dated the Gth
July last, in favour of a Mr. Lawrence, who was
explained to be Mr. Lawrence Levy. The barman
did not take the name of the person to whom he
gave the cash, nor was he in attendance to prove
the payment of the money. Mr. Waites, on the
9th July, paid the cheque to a Mr. Pritchard, in
part payment of an account for upholstery.
Mr. Pritchard proved the receipt of the cheque,
and that it was cashed for him by the plaintiff.
After the cheque had been presented the plaintiff
told him there were "no effects." Subsequent to
the dishonour he went to the defendant's offices,
but he was absent on the continent, and his clerk
said there was no doubt the cheque would be paid
when be came home.
The plaintiff proved he gave 101. cash for the
cheque, which he had not been repaid.
Tee defence was that the cheque had been lost
on the day it was drawn, and that there was no pri-
vity of contract between plaintiff and defendant.
The Secretary to the Albert Loan-office, Cathe-
rine-street, Strand, said he received the cheque in
question from Mr. Lawrence Levy on the 6th of
July, with instructions to pay it into his private
1 account with the Unity Bank. During his walk
from Catherine-street to Leicester-square he lost
the cheque out of his waistcoat-pocket. He imme-
diately went back and informed Mr. Levy. They
both went and informed Mr. White, and payment
of the cheque was stopped. Four or five parties
aftcr wards came down to the office about the cheque,
but they did not produce it. At the time he had
the cheque the words "and Co." were written upon
it. The defendant paid Mr. Levy a second ch-que
for 101., and he obtained the money direct from the
bank. He had no other money at the time he lost
the cheque. The second cheque was given seven or
eight days after the first.
The defendant's clerk proved that seven or eight
parties had called about this cheque who could not
give a satisfactory account of the mode in which
the cheque got into their possession.
Mr. Heath (the judge) said there was no evidence
at the commencement of the plaintiff's case that
there was any consideration paid for the cheque.
There was no proof that the barman gave any
money for it. The cheque was then kept in Waites's
hands for two or three days, and there was a still
further delay before the cheque was presented,
That delay was unexplained, and was fatal to the
plaintiff's case. Unless, therefore, the plaintiff's
attorney's could disturb his view of the law, his
judgment was for the defndant. Mr. De la Mare
was quite aware if laches could be proved it would
be an answer to the case.
Judgment for the defendant accordingly, with
costs.

with difficulty disengaged himself from the women
and pursued for several minutes, but when captured
the property could not be found.
The officer having charge of the case deposed that
prosecutor was very tipsy, but the latter, in reply
to the magistrate, swore as to the identity of Har-
ris as the thief ; while, on the other hand, the pi-
Boner denied all knowledge of the matter until ac-
cused and roughly handled, when he begged to send
for a policeman. It might be ascertained that ho
was a hard-working shoemaker, living in Turville-
street, Bethnal-green.
At this juncture a respectable-looking woman vo-
lunteered her evidence, which being accepted, was
to the effect of her having seen the prosecutor
with two women standing opposite her parlour win-
dow ; one suddenly left, and he then appeared to
miss something, and went into a court close by,
during which the other female darted off. When
the loser returned, he accused two young women
who chanced to pass of having robbed him. Full
half an hour elapsed before the accused approached,
who was in turn charged with the offence, and, ap-
parently alarmed, ran off followed by Ireland.
Witness afterwards learnt from the police that the
young man was at the station house, and came for-
ward this morning to clear him up if possible.
The prisoner expressed his grateful thanks, and
it appearing that not any of the officers knew any-
thing to his discredit.
Mr. D'Eyncourt instantly discharged the accused.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET—William Groves,
a bricklayer, was charged by Mr. Henry Cuming,
of 15, Fitzroy-street, Tottenham-court-road, auc-
tioneer, on suspicion of stealing a quantity of lead
from the roof of his dwelling-house.
Mr. Cumming raid, while in his auction-room,
between three and four o'clock yesterday after-
noon, he saw through the skylight a man on the
roof of the house. He went up in consequence,
and discovered that a large quantity of lead had
be( n stripped off. While there the prisoner popped
up his head from the trap-door of a neighbouring
house, which is under repair, and where bricklayers
are at work. He went into the house directly after,
and asked prisoner what he bad been doing with
his lead. He replied, "Oh, yes, some lead has been
taken, but by another man who has run away.
You'll find it up stairs." He accordingly proceeded
up stairs, where he found the lead produced, about
561 b. weight, in a sack belonging to the prisoner.
Remanded by Mr. Beadon till Thursday next.

MARYLEBONE.—David Wiliam Farmer, of
Lampeter, Wales, was charged with attempting to
defraud the Great Western Railway Company of
the sum of is. 6d., being a second-class passenger
from West Drayton to Paddington, by which he
was liable to a penalty of 40s.
Mr. Collard, superintendent of police to the come •
pany, was present to support the charge.
It appeared that the prisoner was a passenger
from Oxford to West Drayton, but instead of
stopping at Drayton, he came on to London.
He was told that on coming to Slough he ought to
have changed trains.
Wm. Baker, a guard, proved having heard the
prisoner in conversation with some other passengers,
and that it was observed by ono of them that if the
prisoner went on to London he would not be sent
hack to Drayton. When the train arrived at the
Paddington station the prisoner was offered by Mr.
Collard to be sent back to Drayton, but he declined
to accept the offer.
The prisoner was fined 205., or in defaultl4 days.

The line was paid.
Two men, oue a Pole and the other a Efunga-
rian, were charged with attempting to defraud the
company, under the following circumstances :
It appeared that the prisoners, while in a street
at Manchester, bought, on Saturday,i two tickets,
which were return tickets by an excursion train, for
'Ts. They went by the mail train to London, the
fire for which was 255. Ou their arrival at the ter-
minus they were taken into custody.
Mr. Collard said that it was too often the prac-
tice of persons going by excursion trains to dispose
of tickets in the way referred to, by which the com-
panies were much defrauded.
Mr, Broughton thought that tin prisoners
being foreigners, acted in ignorance, and discharged
them.

WESTMINSTER.—Mary Henley, a girl be-
tweeen 15 and 16 years of age, was charged with
ill-treating Laurence Shea, a child of two years old.
The child's mother, who lives at No. 1, Wood's-
buildings, Chelsea, at eight o'clock in the morning
went out to work, leaving the child and one still
younger in charge of the girl Henley. On her re-
turn she found the child with severe bruises on its
body and limbs, and the girl admitted that as the
child would not attend to her she beat it, first
with her hand and th-n with a cane, which was
kept in the kitchen.
The prisoner, who appeared sorry for what she
had done, was committal fur trial.

LAMBETH.—Charles Godding, and Thomas,
his brother, the latter only 14 years of age, were
charged before Mr. Elliott with being found drunk
and incapable in the Crystal Palace Gardens on
the day before.
Police-constable James Plumble, 89 P, said
that on the evening before he was on duty in
the Crystal Palace Gardens, when his attention
was called to the prisoners, whom he found
perfectly drunk, with a gin bottle by their side,
and with assistance he moved them to the police
station.
Mr. Elliott—What have you got to say to this
charge of being found in a state of drunkenness ?
The elder Prisoner—We took some gin with us,
sir, to make ourselves comfortable with, but we
drank it t o quick, and it made us quite dru k.
Mr. Elliott—lt is a shocking state of things to
see persons so young as you are brought here in a
state of helpless drunkenness.
Both the prisoners expressed their contrition for
what bad happened, and declared they should
never taste a drop of gin again.
The constable said he believed the prisoners were
respectable youths, and that they appeared to suffer
during the night from their indulgence.
Mr. Elliott hoped that this would be a warning
to them in future, and discharged the prisoners. t 5

George Pouch, who has been in custody for some
days, 011 a charge of stealing a watch from the per-
son of Mrs. Fielder, in the Walworth-road, was
brought up fur final examination and fully com-
mitted for trial.

SOUTHWARK—Mr. Cornwall, the clerk to
guardians of the poor of Bermondsey, waited upon
Mr. Burcham to reply to several observations which
appeared in the papers relative to the alleged in-
human conduct of the parish authorities.
Mr. Cornwall, addressing his worship said—l am
instructed by the board of guardians to ask you,
'sir, whether certain observation,. represented to
be made by you at this court on Monday last, and
reported in the daily papers, respecting the conduct
of the parish authorities of Bermondsey, are true
or not ?
Mr. Burcham—The answer I make is this—ln
the first place, this very morning a poor half-
starved female, named Mary Satchel', was brought
before me, being found by the police wandering
about Bermondsey without shelter, and not
having the means to procure food. The
constable took her to the workhouse in
Bermondsey, and represented her case to the man
at the door, when he refused to give her either food
or lodging. This poor `woman has been brought
before me, and she found the shelter and food she
req'iiied at the station-house. The oth3r morning
an old man, 76 years of age, was brought before me
on a similar charge, being in want of food and shel-
ter, and actually in a state of starvation. , He was
taken to Bermondsey Workhouse, and his case re-
presented to the person at the door, but both shel-
ter and fool were refused him. The constable, in
that instance, actually purchased food for the poor
man out of his own pocket. Another police con-
stable told me at the time that a night or two prior
he took a miserable creature to Bermondsey Work-
house, and being refused food and shelter, h 3 sup-
plied the unfortunate creature with sufficient to
prevent starvation from his own pocket. I have
no reason to believe that these statements are un-
true; therefore, believing that they are true, I
have np hesitation in saying that the conduct of the
authorities is most inhuman. That's all I wish to

say:
Mr. Cornwall—l want to know, sir, whether the
statements appetizing in the paper, and purporting
to be matte by you, are true or not ?
Mr. Burcham—l am surprised at your asking
such a question, and I have no right to answer it.
Mr. Cornwall—l am directed by the board of
guardians to ask it.
After some fattier discussion,
Mr. Burcham said—l have read the newspaper,
and I don't see that I have any answer.to give.you
r: specting the report, as the facts are not denied
by you. When you were before me on a prior oc-
casion, you told me the rules or orders of the parish
authorities were that no person should be admtted
into the workhouse unless t'aey belonged to the
parish of Bermondsey.
Mr. Cornwall—l beg to deny that, sir.
Mr. Burcham—l am surprised at your conduct,
sir. If you have any complaint to make, do it iu
a respectable manner. I say that the facts sworn
before me on oath show that the conduct of the
parish -authorities of Bermondsey was inhuman,
I could not help makiiig gucha remark, and I hope
I shall not have to do it again.
Mr. Cornwall here left the court.

WANDSWORTII.—Mr. Corsellis, the clerk to
the Waudsworth District Board of Works, applied

fur a summons against Mr. Stiff, of Streatham, for
the recovery of a penalty for the disobedience of
an order from the court. Mr. Corsellis stated that
Mr. Stiff had been summoned for curing a nui-
sance upon his premises injurious to health, and
Mr. Davman, the magistrate, had made a prohijii-
Con order upon him to prevent a recurren::e of the
nuisance. Since the order had been made the
nuisance had been repeated.
Mr. Arnold inquired the nalure of the nuisan e,
Mr. Corsellis said it was caused by the boiling of
oil. It was a printing ink manufactory, and the
effluvia arising from the trade were most obnoxious.
Mr. Payne, the summoning officer, was then
sworn to prove that the order was served personally
upon Mr. Stiff.
Mr. Corsellis said tine nuisance bad been re-
peated three different times since the order was
served.

Mr. Arnold grantA the summons. His worship
then observed that there was a more intolerable 1
nuisance on the Wandsworth Railway Station. He
did not know what it arise from, but every time
he came to the court he was sickened by the dis-
gusting smells at the railway station.
Mr. Corsellis said it arose from the gas works ad-
joing the station.
Mr. Arnold said he considered that the autho-
riteg, whose duty it was to prevent such nuisances,
were neglecting their duty iu not taking steps to
put it down.
Mr. Pierce, a gentleman in court, said the nui-
sance had been frequently complained of, and as
his worship had now mooted the subject, he would
take care that several gentlemen took the matter up.
Mr. Corsellis said the district board were anxious
to prevent the nuisance, but their medical officer of
health had reported upon the state of the gas works
in a way so much against the board that they did
not like to interfere.
__

Mr. Arnold said he was sure that the smells
arising from the place must be prejudicial to the
health of the inhabitants. The effluvia invariably
made him feel ill every time ho came to the railway
station. _ _

Mr. Corsell;s intimated that the question should
be again brought before the board.

AN UNLUCKY MISTAKE.—A shepherd of COMM, in
the Var, having had some of his sheep devoured by
wolves, armed himself with a gun, and kept watch. In
the night of Sunday, the flock suddenly became alarmed,
and he saw some dark object moving in the trees. Not
doubting that a wolf was approaching, he fired at the
object ; a loud cry arose, and it turned out that he had
wounded his own brother, who was coming to pay him
a visit. Ho ptocured medical assistance for the wounded
man, and afterwards gave himse►f into custody ; but
when the facts were known he was set at liberty, and he
bad the sati,faction of ltarning that his brother's wound
was not serious.

BURGLARY,—The Court of Assizes of the Indre a few
days ago tiled two workmen, named Fourre and Morin,
for burglary. On the night of the 20th March last, a
young woman named Baudry, who lived in an isolated
house at the village of Pontaines, was awakened from
lur sleep by hearing a noise in her chamber, and she per-
ceived a man ix:mining the drawers. She cried out
" Thieves I" on which the man struck her several blows
on the Veal with a thick stick, and then took to flight.
It turned out that he had effected an entry by means a
a ladder raised to the window'. From the descrip•
tion she gave of the man's person, he was su- -
peeted t ) be Fourre, a Lad character of the
neighbourhood, and some persons pavv a man running
from the house who also resembled
.him. More-
over, he had a few days before made inqn ries as to whe-
ther Mile. ilandry had not received a rather large sum
of money. Frcm footmarks below the windlw, st
ap.
feared that two men must have been engaged in tie bur-
glary,
and there was reason to suspect that the E econd
one was Morin, but no positive proof 0001 bo obtained
against him. It clearly appeared, however, from his own
admissions and those of Fourre, as also from the testi-
mony of sevt ral persons, that they had j ha the
course of 1856 and 1857, broken into not fewer than four
