LAW INTELLIGE NCE—This Day.

CITY OF LONDON COURT.

A WRIT OF PROHIBITION SERVED UPON THE JUDGE.

The troubled state of affairs of the City of Lon-
don Court seem likely now to come to a reasonable
determination. It will be remembered that some
discussion has arisen recently in legal circles,
and especially in the Court of Common Council,
as to how far the duties of Mr. Kerr, the Judge
of the Court, were :affected by the operations
of the 30th and 31st Vic., cap. 142, known
as the County Courts Amendment Act. The old
title of the court known as the " Sheriff's Court "
dates back before the time of the Normans, and is
said to be derived from Shire-rieve. At the com-
mencement of the year 1868 the title of the court
was altered to " The City of London Court," and
Mr. Kerr contended that he was no longer a com-
missioner of the Central Criminal Court. The 35th
section of the new act distinctly says that the
title of the court shall be " The City of London
Court," and all the processes that have been
issued since that act came into operation have
borne that title. A seal was ordered by the judge,
and it bore upon the face the Royal arms, and
words, " City of London Court." Upon these.
alterations certain proceedings have taken place in
the Corporation, and it was understood that the
authorities were endeavouring to obtain a speedy
settlement of the dispute, but Mr. Torr, an officer
of one of the metropolitan County Courts, has cut
the Gordian knot. A few days ago he applied
to Mr. Justice Willes for an ex parte writ of
prohibition against Mr. Kerr, calling upon that
learned judge to discontinue using the seal with the
royal arms and title of the court in its present form.
This writ was served upon Mr. Kerr at the
Court House on Wednesday, and during yesterday
the seal bearing the royal arms was returned to
the judge, and the'processes now bear the old seal
of the court, thusj" Sheriffs' Court," with the City
arms. In fact, some of the records bear two seals,
viz., that ordered by the plaintiff and the old seal
used before the passing of the act. It is not nu.:
likely that these summary proceedings will cause
considerable inconvenience to the public, be-
cause should the ex park writ of prohibition
be set aside, all the writs issued will be void. At
the present time, however, the writ of prohibition
has been served, and the business of the Court is
being conducted under the old seal, and the reporter
understands the title chosen to be of the Sheriffs'
City of London Court.

POLICE 1117TELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE " POOR PLAYER."—A few days ago a poor
fellow named James Lee, who described himself as
an abused actor, was charged before Mr. Knox with
begging in Burlington Arcade. He entered into a
statement of his misfortunes, from which it ap-
peared that many years ago, while the late Mr. T.
P. Cooke was the stage manager, he performed at
the Coburg Theatre, and said he had performed in
the provinces and at minor theatres in the metro-
polis, but that now, in his old age, having a wife in
the London Hospital, he had fallen into a state of
great distress. He denied that he was begging, but
said that he was merely mentioning his distress to a
gentleman, when the beadle of the Arcade took him
into custody.

Mr. Knox, commiserating the poor man's condi-
tion, discharged him.

Since then prisoner has been forwarded 10s., and
J. G. 24 postage stamps, for his benefit.

THAMES.

TEA ROBBERY IN TIIE LONDON DOCK.--John
Bruce, a labourer, aged 38 years, was brought be-
fore Mr. Paget charged with stealing 4 ounces of
tea, the property of the London and St. Katherine
Dock Company.

In the course of the last twelve months upwards
of .100 labourers have been convicted for stealing
tea, sugar, and other articles which they were
bringing out of the various docks on the north side
of the Thames. Although many of them have been
severely punished the practice still continues. La-
bourers have brought tea and sugar out of the docks
in their clothes, in their boots, pockets, caps, and
in their shirt sleeves, while others have made up
belts and false backs for the concealment of
tea. Yesterday evening the prisoner was " rubbed
down" in the customary manner by Francis
Anders, a constable in the service of the London
Dock Company, as he was leaving the gate at the
principal gateway in Upper East Smithfield, and
four ounces of tea were found under his clothes, and
very ingeniously secreted.
The prisoner said he picked up the tea.
Mr. Paget said that labourers were not allowed
to pick up tea in the docks, where immense quanti-
ties in bulk, in chests, and in boxes were always
lying about. He sentenced the prisoner to two
months' imprisonment and hard labour.
