LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 13.
(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Common Jury.)
STIFF V. PIERCE.
Mr. Martin and Mr. Saunders appeared for the pLintiff,
and Mr. Humphries and Mr. V. Lee for the defence.
This was an action brought to recover damages for injury
done to plaintiff by the negligent driving of defendant.. On
the 11th June, 1844, defendant's servant was driving an
omnibus towards Paddington, and the plaintiff's servant was
driving a carriage from Vere- street to Bond-street, when the
pole of the omnibus struck the carriage, by which it sus-
tained injury to the extent of 191.
Witnesses having been called to prove the occurrence,
several others were produced to prove that the contact was
purely accidental, and could not have been avoided by the
omnibus driver.
The case occupied but a very short time; and the jury
after a minute's consultation found a verdict for the plaintiff
—Damages, 191. 155., and costs.

order, if it was given the defendant was bound to pay. It '
certainly was an act of the " queerist" description, and as
absurd as could have been well imagined, but if he under-
stood what he was giving instructions for, he was bound.
When he, the Under-Sheriff, first heard of it, he thought
that, perhaps, the Duke intended to keep it as a curiosity ;
perhaps to put in a cabinet, or send to some foreign public
library—(Laughter)—but it was certainly a most extraor-
dinary keepsake. It might have, perhaps, availed to a per-
son who intended writing a book on the practice of the
Court of Queen's Bench ; but it was of no value as leading
to an adjustment of the account. One question for the jury
was, whether the plaintiff undertook to do that which did
not lie within the scope of his business. He did not
wonder at the time consumed, simply because the plain-
tiff did not understand the subject. If they sent
a watch to an ironmonger to be repaired, it might take
months to do, and in all probability would never be done at
all. If the plaintiff had undertaken to do that which he well
knew he could not effect, or if he had wilfully misunderstood
or had mistaken the object the Duke had in view, or if he
had prepared that which he had every reason to
know could not be of the least utility, then he
could not recover ; but if what he did was in
pursuance of orders, and was of utility, then he was
entitled to be paid ; but it was for the jury to estimate
the value, and they would say how long it would have occu-
pied a person who understood the business.
The jury, after consulting, asked whether, if they gave a
verdict for part of the claim only, the defendant would be
liable to the whole of the costs.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said that was riot a question to be
answered; the jury had to say what the work was worth.
The jury then gave a verdict for 3/.

and are always liberally assisted both by the tacksmen
and by the crofters, who have anything at all to spare ;
but at the same time the condition of those who are
bedrid is a very wretched one ; while some of those who
go about, though they receive food, are miserably ill off
in regsrd to clothing.'
" STRONTIAN.—The minister writes, Till about three
yt ars ago the poor here were in great misery generally,
but during the last three years Sir James Riddell (an
heritor) has distributed some meal amongst them during
the summer months." Their neighbours ar.d relations
contribute the rest of their scanty supplies, the small
farmers and crofters being exceedingly charitable to their
destitute brethren. At pie sent many of them are in
great need of clothing and shoes, but being only a quoad
sac? a minister, I have no power to remedy their wants,
otherwise than by representing their case to the heritor's
factor, and urging him to supply them. I may mention
that, owing to the absence of Sir James Riddell and his
family (they being abroad), and the removal of some
respectable families from the parish, the church collec-
-ons n ere much reduced this list year, so that we had
Is. 6d. to distribute to each person.'"
IiILLEARNAN.—The minister writes, How the poor
have been supported is to nisi a wonder. The only
ostensible means of support they have is begging from
door to door, and what the kindness of their neighbours
supplies—a meal a day often, and that of the poorest
fare, merely a few potatoes. Were it not for the Chris-
tian kindness of the middling classes, they would assu-
redly starve.' "
" ASSYNT.—The minister writes, The amount of pe-
cuniary aid affordei the poor is astonishingly small.
The truth is, almost our whole population is poor, and it
is extremely difficult to select the poorest. Of course,
the miserable annual pittance granted does little or
nothing towards their support; consequently they are a
burden on their poor relatives and neighbours, rendering
them ne irly as needy as themselves. We have no
wealthy people residing amongst us. The sole heritor,
the Duke of Sutherland, does a good deal towards alle-
viating distress, by remitting arrears and rents.' "
" KIRMICHAEL AND CULLICUDDEN.—The minister
writes, That whilst ss. is the average annual sum which
those on the poor's-rod in this parish receive from the
poor's-funds, their other means of support throughout
the year I really cannot very well describe. They live
in wretched hovels, and are supported by the charity of
their more immediate neighbours, and thus contrive to
eke out a miserable, half-starved existence. For their
hovels they are charged with rent either by the landlords
or by their tenants ;at least most of them are.' He then
states that none of the heritors contribute anything to
the poor-funds, except an occasional small contribution
on the Sabbath."
However repulsive such statements' may be, we im-
plore our readers to master them ; the task cannot be
more loathsome and humiliating to them than it is to
us ; but there is a solemn duty to he performed towards
those neglected starving creatures, who are left to
prey upon one another until all within their
sphere are involved in equal destitution. Tek-
ing these cases in the order they stand, we see
" that such of the paupers as are unable to beg are lite-
rally starving ;" that " their mode of living, in general,
is but seldom far above starvation point ;" that
" there is no regular provision whatever made for
the poor ;" " they beg from place to place, and
the condition of those es ho are bedridden is a very
wretched one ;" that the Church collections were so
much reduced from the absence of a landlord and
his family, and the removal of some respectable families,
that "last year there was only Is. 6d. to distribute to
each poor person;" that
"the only ostensible means of
support they have is begging from door to door;" that
" the miserable annual pittance granted does little or no-
thing toward their support—consequently they are a
burden on their poor relatives and friends, rendering
them nearly as needy as themselves;" that a resident
minister " cannot very well describe" how " they con-
trive to eke out a miserable half-starved existence ;"
but that, in this case, " none of the beritors contribute
anything to the poor funds, except an occasional small
contribution on the Sabbath.'
It is by such masses of facts occurring under the
existence of a law for the relief of the poor, that
the Lord-Advocate's proposed measure for amending
this law is to be tested, and riot by his unmeaning
assertion, that the condition of the poor in Scotland " is
not what it ought to be." A measure, to justify any
expectation of its being effective, must not be founded
ou such a trumpery mincing negative, but on the damn-
ing facts of the case—on the positive existence of a
huge, monstrous, foul series of national crimes, com-
mitted with impunity on the helpless, under the sanction
of metaphysical economists, and impiously defended
under the cloak of religion.
We leave these facts for the present without fur-
ther remark, as examples of that horrible accumu-
lation of suffering and criminality, which calls for the
most unflinching scrutiny. The question now raised
is, not as to the character of these disgusting pro-
ceedings, but whether the remedial measure pro-
posed by the Lord Advocate is sufficiently strin-
gent to deal satisfactorily with such enormities. This
requires an induction from a still more copious selec-
t:on of facts, with which we shall endeavour to supply
the public, as the course taken in Parliament incontro-
vertibly proves, that it is to the operation of the facts of
the case on the public mind that men should chiefly rely
for humanising this stupendous embodiment of sordid
cruelty and cold calculating fraud.

SHERIFFS' COURT, May 13.
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff KENNEDY.)

GLADSTANE V. CLARK.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of 51. the
value of a number of tickets of adritsion to the, Adelphi
Theatre, of which the plaintiff was formerly treasurer.
George Knell was called, and proved that in March, 1844,
the plaintiff took a benefit at the above theatre, and witness
took several packages of tickets to different persons, and one
to defendant, who was oil and colourrnan to the theatre. The
tickets were done up in a paper, and 5/. was marked outside.
The defendant said he thought it hard he should be " sad-
dled" with five pounds worth, but he did not mind taking
two cr three pounds—two pounds worth were rel urned.
Cross-examined—Could not say whether when he took
the tickets he said they were from Mr. Gladstane or Mr.
Morgan Gladstane. Mr. Gladstane (Thomas) was lessee of
the theatre. Mr. Morgan Gladstane is his son. Defendant
served the colours to the theatre. Witness was in the habit of
ordering the goods; those orders were from Mr Gladstane.
Re-examined—Benefit tickets were numbered,and had the
signature or initials of the party who had the benefit. Those
produced bore the initials "M. R. G.," all the orders for oil
were signed " T. G." Believes that " M. R. G." is not on all
the tickets of the theatre. Benefit tickets do not always bear

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECOIZDER.)
CONSPIRACY.— Basil Cochrane Willis and Lionel Piaper
Goldsmid, surrendered to take their trial on a charge of hav-
ing conspired for the purpose of defrauding Edmund Herne of
two bills, of the respective value of 6001. and 5001.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prosecu-
tion, Mr. Bodkin with Mr. Charnock for the defence.
The case, which has already been frequently before the
public in the reports of the Marlborough-street Police- court,
may again be very briefly stated. It appeared that the pro-
secutor held, on March 26th last, the two promissory notes
referred to, and on that day one of the defendants, Willis, with
whom he had been previously acquainted, called upon him,
and in the course of conversation gave the prosecutor to un-
derstand that he had a friend who was desirous of investing
some money in safe bill transactions, and that if he (prose-
cutor) would entrust him with these notes, he would get them
discounted. The prosecutor having no suspicion of his friend's
integrity, at once gave up the notes to his custody, on an
understanding that he should see him next day with the
money, he allowing the defendant 301. as commission for his
trouble in conducting the negotiation. Willis did come next
day, but without the money. He said, however, he should pay
it over the moment he received it from his friend. No con-
sideration had ever been received for the notes, and the pro-
secutor had not been able to ascertain what had become of
them.
Dr. Ryan proved that, on the Eth of March, the defendant
Goldsmid called upon him at his house in Cavendish-squat-a,
and in the course of conversation relative to the letting of a
house, the defendant said that a friend of his, nanatd
Parker, had lately been swindled out of some
bills by persons of the names of Bartlett and
Herne, and that he had employed a friend, named Willis,
to go to the latter person and get possession of the bills, by
representing that he could get them discounted. This be
stated Wills had been successful in accomplishing, and he
(Goldsmid) had at that very time the bills in his possession.
Mr. BODKIN' contended that DO case of conspiracy had been
made out against Willis, and that Goldsmid only stood im-
plicated on his own admission to Dr. Ryan, as not a tittle of
evidence had been adduced against Lim.
T'oe objection was, after considerable argument on either
side overruled by the Recorder, and
Mr. BODKIN then addressed the jury. He detailed the
history of the transaction from the very beginning, repre-
senting the defendants as friends of a Mr. Milton, who was
anxious to recover these bills by stratagem from the bands
of certain persons who had in the first instance duped him.
They (the bills) had then passed from the hands of those
persons to Herne, and the present charge arose out of the
'use necessary for the recovery of the bill.
Witnesses were then called for the defence, and examined
by Mr. CHARNOCK.
After the witnesses for the defence had been examined,

the name of the party at full length.
Mr. Geo. Adam Bather—Was engaged at the A.delphi
Theatre in March last as check-taker, and had the manage •
meet of the free list. It is customary for the treasurer of a
theatre to have a benefit, but not for the lessee. The night in
question was what theatricals called a " stock night,"
that was one of the nights of the season not usual
for benefits. There were advantages in it, for the party did
not have to pay so much for the theatre, as stock pieceswere
played, and they had not to go to the whole expense of
the bills ; on those nights the name of the party did not ap-
pear on the tickets. The tickets of the theatre did not
generally bear a signature--they were now at most theatres
of brass or bone; but tickets taken at the box-office might
perhaps bear the signature of the box-keeper—they were dif-
ferent from the other.
Cross-examined—Benefit tickets bear a date. The ordinary
ticket. . .

By the UNDER •SUEE.IFF—" M. R. G." signifies the sig-
nature of Mr. Gladstane as the party taking the benefit.
The treasurer did not sign or countersign ordinary tickets.
The cards bought at the theatre on that night would have
been different, but the money received for them, or at the
doors, would have been handed over to Mr. Morgan Glad-
stane. _ _ _ _

Edward Booth—Was money-taker on the night in ques-
tion. It was an open benefit for Mr. Morgan Gladstane
alone.

Mr. W. C. Gladstane, solicitor, produced the licence for
the Adelphi Theatre.
The UNDER SHERIFF said he did not consider it necessary
to put it in ; there was no issue on the subject.
Mr. BOOTIIBY addressed the jury, and contended that the
tickets were received from Mr. Thomas Gladstane as a set-off
for part of his account, and that the custom was for parties
taking benefits to give the lessee a certain number of tickets,
instead of the whole of the price of the house in cash ; as the
lessee could send them round to the various trademen. He
considered that this was a family farce of " Raising the
wind," and the father and sons were clever performers,
either of them capable of sustaining the part of Jeremy
Didler. He had little fear but that he should have a verdict
in his favour. It appeared to him that it was an action prin-
cipally brought to put costs in the pockets of Mr. Gladstane,
the solicitor, or proceedings would have been taken in another
Court.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said the most important question
was, what took place between the defendant and Knell, the
witness. If he said ha took the tickets from Mr. Gladstane,
Mr. Clarke, the defendant must have understood he had them
from Mr. Gladstane, the lessee; but the next witness had ex-
plained that the tickets were very different; but it
did not clearly appear that the defendant, although he had had
something to do with the theatre, perfectly understood the
different rules of the theatre, and he might have supposed
that he was receiving them as suggested from the lessee, as
Knell, the witness, was well known to defendant as the ser-
vant to Mr. Thomas Gladstane.

Mr. CLARKSON replied, and the RECORDER summed up.
The jury, after some consultation brought in a verdict of
Guilty.
The prisoners were admitted to bail. each in 3001., to ap.
pear to receive judgment at a future period.

SCOTTISH POOR-LAW.
(From the Times.)
The course taken on Wednesday night with the B
for amending the Scottish Poor-law may be considers
somewhat ominous. Bills are now rapidly approachin,
their sickly season, and if those which are likely to elici
awkward disclosures and inconvenient discussions can
oely be staved off until then, they may, in the hurry
and impatience incidental to that season, slip quietly
through unnoticed. In many cases such an event would
be a matter of indifference, but this question is essen-
tially one of fact; we have the theory already. The
Lord-Advocate declared, on the first reading of his Bill,
that " the existing law made full provision for the sup-
port of the poor; and it put into the hands of those who
had the administration of the law the power of assessing
to any extent necessary for the purpose." The question
then is, how has this " power of assessing" been ex' r-
cised, and this " full provision" for the support of the
poor been acted on? These most essential parts of the
subject his Lordship did not find it convenient to en-
large on.
We admit, in reference to the course • taken, that it
may not be reasonable to expect a high public func-
tionary to lay bare the leprous sores of his country before
the public gaze, and to exhibit in detail her cankerous
members—except where the question raised is on the
proper treatment of these very cankers, which cannot be
fairly treated in the dark, even though a jury of matrons
may have already fumbled over the case, and sagely re-
ported thereon. Such a decision not being final, and the
whole question having been transferred to another tri-
bunal, whose voice will be heard, whatever acts may be
practised to elude its vigilance or smother its indignation,
we have a right to expect as many of the facts of the
case as may be necessary for the due information of
those who are deficient in local experience.
It would, in most cases, be absurd to attempt to draw
any strong line of. distinction between the prevailing
feelings of the inhabitants of the north side of tie
Tweed and those cf the south ; but in this particular
case the line has been drawn by the constituted autho-
rities of our northern neighbours themselves. They
have somewhat ostentatiously claimed the distinction of
managing their poor on the most approved principles of
political economy, as embed ed in the concise declaration
" that a provision for the poor creates much of the
misery which it relieves, but does not relieve all the
misery which it creates." They have referred to their
own practical illustration of this doctrine as a stupendoes
effort of wisdom, and it must be admitted that they have
worked out their theory with a frightful consistency, un-
appalled by those destructive consequences which would
have induced philosophers of any other school to revise
their creed.
Without keeping the foregoing prominently in view,
we may seem almost without a motive in urging en
English Members of Parliament that this, although a
local question, must mainly depend on their advocacy
and support. Not that any lack of humanity among
heritors and Kirk Sessions is to be assumed : the Lord-
Advocate tells us the contrary. He says that the exist-
ing state of things " was not owing to any absolute or
hard-hearted refusal to give relief—it was not from an
unwillingness to disburse for the maintenance of the poor
—there was no general indisposition to a charitable feel-
ing in Scotland." .
Thus there is an abundant stock of humanity
among those in authority there ; but then it is the
humanity of political economists, as expounded in
Edinburgh more than seventy years since, in the follow-
ing pithy sentence by Lord Kames, in his " Sketchv.i.
of the Progress of Man in Society :"—" If by neglect
or oversight any happen to die of want, the example
will tend more to reformation than the most
pathetic discourse from the pulpit," Here is a sound
exposition of economical humanity! and no deficiency
of such can be alleged at the present day, either in
theory or practice; it is, therefore, a question of quality,
rather than of quantity, which is to be submitted to the
determination of Parliament—the question, whether the
philsophical humanity of Lord Kames, as exhibited in
full operation by heritors and Kirk Sessions, or that of
a Christian code, is to influence the Legislature in enact-
ing laws for the relief of the poor in Scotland?
We shall commence our extracts of facts, to elucidate
the practical operation of the economical school of hu.
inanity, from the returns to two addresses of the House
of Commons—of " the number of the population in
Scotland at the last census," and of " the management
and support of the poor from 1836 to 1841 inelusive,"
ordered by the Ilouse to be printed June 20, 1843. The
first of these returns includes the counties of Argyll,
Inverness, Ross, and Cromarty, Sutherland, and Caith-
ness, with a population of 340,926. The amount of
contribution for the relief of the poor is returned under
he following heads fur the year 1841:

The jury, without hesitation, gave a verdict for the de•
fendant.

SIMMONS P. PAYNE.
The plaintiff in this action is proprietor of the Sheridan
Knowles Tavern, Brydges-street, opposite Drury-lane The-
atre. The defendant is a grocer in the Bagnigge Wells-road.
The action was brought to recover the sum of 71. 15s. for
wine and refreshments supplied to the defendant.
The defendant pleaded that he was never indebted; and as
to one part, to the amount 11. 75., that it was for spirituous
liquors, and that there was fraud and covin.
Wm. Francis Caudle, waiter at the Sheridan Knowles, de-
posed that defendant was a customer. The amount charged
for was supplied to defendant and his friends, and defendant
gave the plaintiff his I 0 U for the amount. Witness had
called two or three times on defendant, who promised to pay
the plaintiff.
Cross-examined—The house is usually closed about three
o'clock in the morning. Defendant went in with eight or
nine friends. He was not drunk then. The bill was for 28
glasses of brandy and water, 9 bottles of sherry, and 6 bottles
of champagne. He knew what he was ordering, and when
witness spoke to him he asked whether witness meant to
offend him, or would not serve him. Witness said he would
serve him as long as he thought proper.—(Laughter.) He
got very drunk, and was sent home in a cab at plaintiff's
expense.
For the defendant it was contended, on the authority of
Pitt and Surr, 3 Campbell's Reports, that a person in a state
of intoxication could not be considered to be in, as Lord
Ellenborough expressed himself, an agreeing state of mind—
that the brandy and water clearly could not be charged for,
and that the I 0 U would not stand good where the con-
sideration was for articles supplied during the time of intoxi-
cation. _ .

The UNDER-SHERIFF said that the Tippling Act was
meant to prevent the sale of small quantities of spirit to the
amount of 20s. at any one time, which he considered was one
sitting or one bout, and not for each glass as
ordered. It would not do to strain the law as to intoxica-
tion ; for if a publican was to lose his bill because a man
chose to become intoxicated, it would be a strong induce-
ment for persons to get drunk. As far as the plea of fraud,
there had not been the shade of evidence. The defendant
had gone in voluntarily, and did not appear to have been
tempted to drink by plaintiff, or to have had more supplied
to him than he had actually ordered.
The Jury almost immediately gave a verdict for the full
amount claimed.

The number of " impotent persons on the books
of the Kirk Session legally entitled to relief" is re-
turned at 8,463, hut there seems to be more than treble
that number equally destitute. Among the latter class
the sum of 1,1731. 16s. 6d. was divided, and among the
former, 4,7971. 18s. 2d., being on the average about
2ici. a week for persons entered as " impotent," and ad-
mitted to be " legally entitled to relief !" In addition to
this allowance, they are granted, by the Kirk Session,
" the privilege of begging from door to door." A few
extracts from the notes appended to the parochial returns
will show the working of the system:—
"PARISH OF DUROR.—The minister writes,—' The
poor obtain their additional support by begging from
door to door. Such of the paupers as have humane re-
latives get some pecuniary relief from them ; but such
as have not, and are unable to big, are literally starving,
or next thing to it. Slavery is condemned, and justly
condemned ; but I am persuaded that the slaves are
far better fed than our paupers. I trust, therefore, that
prompt measures will forthwith be adopted to ameliorate
their wretched condition.' "
" GAIRLOCH.—The minister writes, Their mode of
living in general is but seldom far above starvation point,
especially from the latter end of minter till harvest ; and
the consequence is, that few of them survive an attack of
any serious malady, and many of them labour under
severe chronic ailments. There are always a great
