LAW LvTELLIGENCt.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCTOBER 26.
NUISANCE.-TIIE KING V. HALL.

Th's sv,s an indictment against the defendant, a
butcher, in Warwick-lane, for a nuisance. The prose-
cution was piefirsed by the Corporation of London,
for the purpose of putting down the slaughtering of
oxen, and the disgusting scenes which have long an-
noyed the passengers and neighbourhood of that part
of the City.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, the COMMON SERJEANT,
and Mr. IioLLAND, were Counsel for the prosecution.
i•• SCARLETT and Mr. GURNEY for t:,e defendant.
Several witnesses were called in support of the indictment.
The most important evidence was given by Alder-
man Crowder, who stated, that he had been 37 years,
an inhabitant near the spot. He described the slaugh-
tering houses in Warwick-lane to be a very dangerous
and disgusting nuisance. He considered the lives of
passengers to be daily in danger, from the droves of
horned cattle driven to those houses.

Mr. SCARLETT addressed the Jury forthe defendant.
He did not mean to contend that the slaughtering
houses were not noisome and offensive, but they were
unavoidable, inasmuch as the slaughtering of cattle
must be carried on in the neighbourhood of the
markets. The spot in question had been found time
immemorial convenient for the cattle trade of Smith-
field and Newgate Market, and he should prove a pre-
scriptive right to carry on the business which the in-
dictment was brought to remove. The Learned Counsel
called several witnesses (butchers residing in Newgate
Market), but failed in proving there had been any
slaughtering of horned cattle prior .to the last twenty
years. As this fact was hostile to prescriptive right,
he admitted that his defence had failed, and a verdict
of Guilty was recorded.
Two other indictments against parties for keeping slaughter
houses in Warwick-lane, were then called, and verdicts of Guilty
entered on both.
