JEWNt.NOS V. MRS. THROOMOIIIVOIL
This, was an' action brought by the plaintiff to reco-
ver from the defendants balance of 141.85. being for
twelve week? rent of furnisbod apartments, occupied by
the. defendant in the plaintiff's house, Marshall-street,
Westminster-road. •
The witnessei oil the part of the plaintiff proved the
occupation of the apartments by the defendant, and the
agreement for .11.45. per week.
Mr. COIII6IION Seuiznat addressed the Jury for the
defendant, and called witnesses who *swore that the de._

fend= was a woman of the town, and a frequenter of
the saloons of the Theatres. that she received male 'nil.'
tors at her apartments—that-the plaintiff was aware of

those circumstances, and that on one occasion he said
the defendant got her money easily enough, and that
he did not care what slfe did provided he got his tent;
and that on one occasion, when the defendant was going
to Vauxhall, she promised him money on the neat day,
"if she should have luck." • •
Mr. THESSIORR, in reply, admitted that if his client
had let those apartments for the purpose of enabling
her to carry on the prostitution of -her person, he was
not, by law, entitled to recover in this action; but he
contended that the evidence for the defendant proved
nothing more than that at some period after Mrs.
Throgmortor. took possession of the lodgings, the plain-
tiff might from ces tent circumstances have known that
she was a prostitute.
The LORD Cum Jug rice, in summing up, said,
there could be no doubt that during the. defendant's
orsupancy, the plaintiff became acquainted with _her
4.1 e of life, and therefore was not entitled to recover
rent for the apartments aft: r he was acquainted with
that fact. Heleft it to the Jury to say whether the sum
now sued for became due after the plaintiff knew the
defendant's means of living?
The Jury immediately found a verdict fot the defendant.

row, compensation in damages for injury sustained by
him in consequence of a libel upon his character, pub-
lished by the " Guardian Society for the Protection of
Trade against Swindlers and Sharpers," at the instance
of the defendants. -The alleged libel was a circular
sent to the different Members of the Society, cautioning
them against haying any dealings with the plaintiff.
To connect, the defendants with the publicationof the
circular, Mr. SCARLXTT called the Secretary of the
Society, Mr. Foss, whose name was signed to the cis,/
'cular, but he objected to answer any questions, lest be
might subject himself by his answers to a criminal
prosecution.
The Loan Came Justice having decided that Mr:
Foss was not bound to answer the questions, other wit-
nesses were calledebut bit LOrdship was of opinion that
none of the evidence brought the publication home to
the defendants.—Plaintiff aonsuitei.

WILD& W. YOUNG.
This was an action for trespass, assault, and false hn-
prisonmem brought by the plaintiff, who is a publican
in Cursitor-sti eet, Chancery-lane, against the defendant,
etho is an officer of tt e Middlesex Court of Requests.
From the,evidence for the plaintiff it appeared, that
•in the month of Novernbow last, the defendant went into
•the plaintiff's house, and 'hewed him a judgment and
warrant of the Court of Requests for the County of
Middlesex, obtained agaiost him for 11. 19s. 11d. The
defendant denied the jurisdiction of that Court in that
respect, as his (defendant's) house was situate within
the city of. London ; but he at last consented to accona..
parry the defendant to his (plaintiff's) solicitor, Mr.
Keogh, in Hatton-garden, where Mr. K. told the de- ,
fendant he was acting wrong ; but the defendant refused
to release the plaintiff, until he paid. bins 412 Bs. the
debt and costs. :
Mr. BRODRICK. for the defendant, contended, that the
arrest did not take place until the plaintiff was at Hat-
ton-garden, which was in the county of Middlesex, and
therefore, a place within the jurisdiction of the Court.
. Mr. SCARLETT, for the plaintiff, contended that the
Act did not give jurisdiction to the Court over any per-
son not resident within the county of Middlesex, and
the defendant having no house but that in Cursitor-street
• could not be considered an inhabitant of Middlesex.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTWI said, it was not DOCeSti

now to decide where the arrest was made, as it was quite
clear that-the defendant, by entering the plaintiff's house
for such a purpose, had committed a trespass in the
city of London, and for that trespass the Jury were tsi
say to what sum; including the 2L fis. paid to the de-
fendant, the plaintiff was entitled ?
The Jury immediately found a verdict-for the pWhdff—Da.
maces Ai.

WICITRAT V. MAN.
This was an action by Mr.Westray, a.printer against
Mr. Pierce Egan, the EJitor of. Life re Lcurkee and.
other works connected with boxing. to recover 71.75. 6d.
the amount of a bill for printing handbills and cards.
Ttie placards and bills printed related to a proposed
water party to the Nore, for the benefit of Mr. James
Purcell, and to the benefits of Hares and Dutch
Sala, at the Fives-court; tickets for which benefits
were to be purchased of Mr. Egan among others. The
directions for the printing were given by Mr. Egan,
and some of the bills contained particular injunctions
as to the style and manner in which • they should be
executed, and they were in part sent home to those
whose purposes they were intended to serve, and the
remainder delivered to Mr. Egan.
Mr. SCARLIITT contended, on this evidence, that Mr.
Egan was clearly liable, as the printer looked to him,
and net to the prize-fighters, on whose responsibility ms
reliance could be placed.
Mr. BROUGHAM, for defendant, contended, that Mr.
Egan, who had merely from kindness lent his talents
to those who were more able to strike than to write,
had not made himself liable, but had given directions
on behalf of the boxers, so whom alone the plaintiff
was entitled to look. To sustain this case, he called
the shop-boy of the defendant, who proved that the
plaintiff requested the defendant to recommend him to
print for 4, those persons," and afterwards called to
inquire their directions, that he might write to them for
money. A card was She put in, containing a note by
Mr. Westray to Mt. Egan, making the same inquiry.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages,7l. 7s. 6d.
