FRENCH PLAYS.—Bouffe's first appearance in Les
Enfans des Troupe on Monday drew together a large number
of distinguished personages. St. James's was crowded from the
slips to the stalls, and this excellent actor was loudly applauded.
It is a famous little piece, and was announced for repetition.
M. SALABERT S CONCERT.—A concert was given
by M. Salabert, at the Opera Concert-room, on Monday morn-
ing. Frezzolini was to have sung, but did not appear.
Lablache was rich both in pathos and humour. A fan-
tasia on the national British airs God save the Queen" and
" Rule Britannia" was played with great precision and power
by a youth named Michael Angelo Russo, who was greatly
applauded.
HER. MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Mademoiselle Rachel
performed her Herndone on illonday, and the same grandeur and
propriety that characterised her acting last year, was apparent
this, but greater. Without accumulating new traits, she has
more clearly defined and wrought out at the present time the
conceptions of her heroine. Mademoiselle Rabut performed
the Andromaque, and M. David the Orestes.
\V. Wordsworth,
,jun., Esq., has been appointed
e'istributor of stamps for the counties of Cumberland and West-
moreland, in the room of his i,athar, the great poet, who retires

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, June 20.

PETTITT V. MITCHELL.
Thesrial of this cause, which was partly heard on Saturday
last, was resumed this morning.
Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, Mr. Crompton, and Mr. Words-
worth conducted the plaintiff's case, and Mr. Sergeant Bompas,
Air. Sergeant Channell, and Mr. Miller that of the defendant.
The action was brought by the plaintiff, who is an auc-
tioneer, to recover the difference in price between the proceeds
of a quantity of cloth upon its resale, and the price at which
it was knocked down to the defendant! on the sth of June last
year. The defendant claimed the right of ascertaining by
measurement and inspection, before payment, that the cloth
was in quality, quantity, and description, equal to that men-
tioned in the catalogue, but the conditions of sale required that
payment should be made before delivery, and the privilege
which the defendant claimed was refused to him, The main
question between the parties, upon which a great number of
witnesses were examined, related to the custom of the trade,
and it was contended on the part of the plaintiff that no such
custom existed as that mentioned, while the defendant's ease
was, that it was quite usual to make an allowance before pay-
ment for short lengths.
Air. justice Eassxiiix left it to the Jury to say whether
there was such a general custom, or whether, from the previous
course of dealing between the plaintiff and defendant, they
could infer such a contract as that on which the defendant relied.
The Jury retired shortly after four o'clock, and at nine
o'clock returned and found for the plaintiff for the sum
claimed-31 1. 108.

JUNE 21.
CURLING V. JEFFERY AND ANOTHER.
This was an action brought against the proprietors of
the Exeter and Yeovil mail, to recover compensation in
damages, for injury sustained by the plaintiff, in conse-
quence of the overturning of the defendants' coach, upon
which he was riding as an outside passenger. It ap-
peared that a few miles beyond Basingstoke the horses
became unmanageable and ran away, whereby the coach
was partly upset, and the plaintiff thrown violently off.
The evidence was conflicting as to the appearance of suf-
fering which he exhibited on being taken up, and put
into the inside of the coach, and the defendants
proved that he for some time afterwards went without
his arm in a sling, and was active in the business of his
profession as a solicitor; but, on the other hand, the
evidence of his medical attendants, of his clerks, solicitors
concerned in business with him, and other witnesses, it
was shown that he had really suffered a severe sprain in
the tendons of the fore arm, which was followed by pain-
ful and alarming symptoms of inflammation, and
that his whole system had received a violent
and dangerous shock, which prevented him for
several days from attending to business. His
having gone about for some time as if nothing happened.
was accounted for by his imprudently underrating, in the
first instance, the amount of the injury, and in his zeal
fbr business exerting himself too much, notwithstanding
the pain he must have suffered. The defendants offered
301. compensation before the action was proceeded with,
and this being refused, they paid that sum into Court.
Mr. Justice ERSKINE, in summing up, expressed some
dissatisfaction that, from the manner in which the pleas
were framed, he was obliged to allow the Court to be
occupied six hours with a cause which ought to have
been decided in one.

The Jury having retired for about an hour, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff, with damages 201. over and
above 30/. paid into Court.

BAIL COURT, June 21.
THE QUEEN V. SMYTH.
This was an indictment preferred by the Commissioners of
Pebee against the defendant, one of the brothers of the Princess
of Capua, and Lady l)inorben, for an alleged indecent assault
upon Police-constable Morrison, of the C division, on the night
of the 17th of February. The proceedings had been removed
by a writ of certiorari into this Court.
'1 he Attorney-General, Mr. Pollock, and Mr. Waddington,
conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Platt and 31r.
Bodkin appeared for the defendant.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL at some length stated the case,
the substance of which has appeared in The Sun.
Several witnesses were called, whose evidence supported the
statement of the Attorney-General.
Air PLATT, after a powerful address to the jury, called the
fiillowing witnesses.
His Grace the Duke of Beaufort—l have bees acquainted
with the defendant between two and three years. I have been
in the constant habit of meeting him in society, and his charac-
ter is irreproachable. The defendant was introduced to me by
his loyal Highness Prince Capua.
Lord William Somerset—l have known the defendant be-
tv% een three and four years; have repeatedly met him in so-
ciety. His character for morality is of the highest order.
Ihe Earl of Chichester—l have known the defendant fifteen
years; his habits and character, during that period, have been
irreproachable. I believe him incapable of acting as has been
stated.
Sir Colin Hackett—l have known the defendant six years,
and, during that time, both in his moral and professional duties,
his conduct has been unimpeachable.
1 he Hon. Mr. Callahan gave similar evidence.
Sir H. W. Barron, M.P.—I have known the defendant 20
year,, and during that long period his character has been irre-
proichable and most strictly moral.
Captain Ogle-1 have known the defendant 20 years, and
have met him in various situations in life. The defendant, when
a boy, was attacked with a nervous affection, and he always,
whet he speaks, puts his hand upon the person he is address-
ing. lam convinced he is unconscious of so acting.
The Rev. C. Wetherell gave similar evidence.
The Duke of Beaufort and the other witnesses corroborated
Capt. Ogle's evidence as to the defendant's habit of catching
hold of the hand of those he addressed.

Air. Justice WIGHTMAN summed up the evidence.
The Jury retired, and upon their return, they gave
a v,rdiet of Net Guilty, with the following addendum :
" The Jury were unanimous in their verdict of Not Guilty,
and that not the slightest stain attaches itself to the defendant,
nor do they blame the conduct of the prosecutor, the police
constable, but they think that he acted from misconception."
The verdict appeared to give unusual satisfaction to a most
crowded Court.

WILSON V. MACLEAN,
This was an action brought by Miss. Wilson, \\to
keeps a boarding school in Russell-square, to recover the
sum of 25 guineas, the price of a quarter's schooling
given to two young ladies, danghters of the defendant.
It appeared the daughter, of the defendant went to
Miss Wilson's school on t'.te 19th of October, 1839, and
left on the 13th oE July, 1841. Up to the 3d
of April, 1841, tb.e plaintiff was paid to the
full amount, anO, the question was whether
the plaintiff, havir.g calculated the year at nine months,
three being allr,wed for vacations ; and upon this calcu-
lation, the quarter having ended on the 11th of June,
WqS entitled to recover for the quarter commencing after
that time.

It was contended, on the part of the defendant, that
the year ought to be calculated in the ordinary mode,
upon which the plaintiff was not entitled to recover.
The Jury rotiirod, and after some time returned with
a verdict for thyt plaintiff.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
Henry King, fl 9, was indicted for burglariously entering the
dwelling-house of Samuel Edwards Poulett, and stealing there-
from fifteen forks, four spoons, and other articles.
From the evidt nee, it appeared that the ,A ife of the prosecutor,
with her sister, 't,!ft the house in Church-row, St. Pancras, on
the afternoon of the 7th June last. They did not return till
half-past clever i o'clock at night. Mrs. Poulett had opened the
outer door with a latch key, and was in the act of opening the
par!our door, when the prisoner came through the hall
from the kite) ien. He said to Mrs. Poulett, "Don't you know
me—don't he alarmed." He went out through the hall door,
upon which they gave an alarm, and a person of the name of
Marshall obsc roc(' the prisoner creeping under the palings, en-
deavouring to. escape. Marshall called out to him, upon which
he ran away. Marshall followed him, and after he had pro-
ceeded some distance, the prisoner dropped a bundle, which, on
examination,. was found to contain the property named in the
indictment. Marshall continued his pursuit, upon which the
prisoner turned round, and knocked him down. Marshall how-
ever got up. and again pursued the prisor.er, and at length cap-
tured and gave h irn into custody.
The LEARN/ :n JUDGE summed up the evidence, and the
Jury at once rt turned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner
was sentenced. to transportation for life.
Mr. Baron CiIi.KNEY then addressed the witness, John Mar-
shall, and said tb e Court entertained the highest sense of the
courage and man liness which he had displayed under circum-
stances of co nsikrable physical disparity, as the prisoner was a
very powerful man. and the Court had therefore determined to
nia:k their approbation of his conduct by ordering him a re-
al and of W..

The witness re,speetfully thanked the Court and retired.
AN ArrtmrTE. D SUICIDE.— Thomas Fountain, aged 37, a
baker, was indiettN I for unlawfully attempting to commit self-
dcst ruction.

Policeman, R If ;3, stated that on the 6th June last, at about
an hoed. after midnight, he saw the prisoner in the Greenwich-
road with a bottle i n his hand. He was sitting down, and ap-
peased in a despond .ing state ; the witness went up to him, and
asked what he we s drinking, but he made no answer. Wit-
ness then took the bottle from him, and found it to be labelled
laudanum and pois on. Witness asked the prisoner if he had
taken what had lig Zen in the bottle, and he said that he had,
and he expected t; o get rid of the troubles of the world ; and if
he did not do so ':aen, he would cut his throat or drown himself.
Witness took hi a:. into custody. When he was at the station-
house a surges a was sent for and the stomach-pump applied,
and a quantity of laudanum taken from his stomach.
The prisoner Ea id, in his defence, that he did not intend to
kill himself. We had been for a long time afflicted with rheu-
matic gout, ant h e was in the habit of taking laudanam for it.
On the day iti qu( stion he had walked to Greenwich, think•
ing it would do him good. Having had an attack of the
flout that day while at Greenwich, he took a great deal to
srink, and on col ning home he bought two-pennyworth of
laudanum, thinkin g it would take off the effect of the drink,
but he had no in tention of killing himself ; and he had often
taken double the c uantity in the space of 24 hours.
The Learned 3 t inGE having summed up the evidence,
The Jury acqui .fled the prisoner.
