The Correctional Tribunal Of St. Omer was occupied
on the 29th ult. with an appeal ease, in which a grocer
of Baulogne, named,Delapierre, was plaintiff, and Mr.
Franklin Kerr, responsible editor of the Bouldyne Guar-
dian, defendant. It appeared from the evi fence that an
advertisement had appeared, on the sth of Sep:cipher, in
the defendant's journal, declaring that " a debt due from
the plaintiff, amounting to Something under 150 f., as a
to be sold at a los 90 per cent., and that full particu-
lars could be obtained on applying to the Commissary of
Police." M. Delapierre brought his action fur libel be-
fore the Correctional Tribunal of Boulogne, and de-
manded I,ooof. damages. A verdict was given against
him. Delapierre, not considering this veraict satisfac-
tory, appealed, and the Tribunal of St. Omer reversed
the former sentene-d, on the ground that to announce
the sale of a man's debt at 90 per cent. loss, was greatly
calculated to lessen his credit, and do him injury. It
condemned Kerr, in corvequence, to five days' imprison-
ment, 50f. fine, and 300 f. damages to the plaiatiff.

COLD WATER CURE.—A singular incident occurred
during the fire at the warehouse of Messrs. M'Crea and
Boord, which took place last week in this town. Amongst
the individuals who laudably gave their assistance on the
occasion, was Mi. John Brier, hairdresser, and landlord of
the Labour-and-Health house, Southgate. For some years
Mr. Brier had laboured under deafness, still more so on catch-
ing cold. On this occasion, whilst actively engaged inside
the burning 'Alibiing, one of the engines played into his ear,
and knocked him down. On recovering from the stunning
effects of the accident, Mr. Brier found, to his great surprise
and gratification, that his hearing was completely restored,
and finding the benefit to continue, gave the firemen a treat,
declaring they had done him mote good than all the doctors
in the town.—Halifax Guardian.
