LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF KIN BENCH, MAY I.
LIABILITY OF IitTIIBAND FOR WIFE.
ROWLAND V. GASORAVE.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause 1.11,
the verdict for the plaintiff in this case should not be set aside and
a new trial granted. The action was brought by the plaintiff, 1
jeweller, in Coventry-street, against the defendant, an attorney. c.
Leicester-square, for several articles of jewellery furnished to th..
defendant's wife, between the spring of 1828 and October, 1833.
and was lately tried in this place. and a verdict found for the plain.
tiff far 1881. The ground on which the new trial was moved tor
was, that the verdict was against the evidence and the opinion of
the Judge. When a wife purchased provisions, or any !leen"
articles of housekeeping, the tradesman dealing with her might res.
sonably suppose that she had the authority of the husband, and the
husband would be liable ; but with respect to expensive articles of
jewellery of this kind, the tradesman, if he meant to rest on the
husband's liability, ought to satisfy himself that she had authority.
otherwise he must be considered as looking to her alone for pay.
melt; and it was proved in this case that he did so; that he set
down the articles to her account alone, and that it was from her
alone that he made repeated demands for payment ; and that
it wax for her alone that his messengers inquired, until at last, edit!.
she could not be found, an application was made to the husband•
who then, for the first time, was informed of the existence of such t.
claim. It was proved at the trial that the plate, jewellery, &c
were not seen at the defendant's house, and this accounted fur th.
circumstance of its not appearing that the defendant had restored
any part of the goods, although Mr. BROUGHAM, for the plaint,ti.
placed great reliance on that circumstance. The verdict could
hardly be accounted for on any other ground than the popular p:.
judice which, in these ems, prevailed against attorneys.
Mr. Justice BATLEY: The plaintiff certainly might have r
quired whether the wife had her husband's authority.--Itu'!
granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BO W.MEET. _

ASSAULT ON A MAGISTRATE BY A NEW POLICEMAN.
John Harding, policeman, No. 99, Divison E. was brought up 0.
a warrant, charging him with assaulting Mr. Mallard. a Magistrat•
for the county of Middlesex. Mr. Mallard stated, that on Tues.
day, between five and six o'clock in the afternoon, he saw the de.
fendant in Museum-street, dragging a woman towards Russell-
street with brutal violates ; he stopped near the Museum, and thsa
dragged her in a contrary direction, across Holborn, to a court.
where he let her go. She complained of the defendants cruelty
and he turned back to seize her again. Prosecutor said to hits.
" You had better let her alone, you are not on duty, as you base
not your badge on now." The defendant swore at him, and abused
him grossly. He crossed the street to avoid him, and took out hi,
pocketbook and pencil to take his number. The defendant came
across and seized him by the collar, exclaiming with a curse, •' IT
teach a fellow like you to take a policeman's number." The pr,:.
secutor remonstrated, and told the defendant he was a Alagistrate.

by the arm dragged him through St. Gilca's into the High-street

In the High-street the prosecutor gave the defendant his card, and
was then allowed to depart. Mr. Mallard added, that he had waited
on the Commissioners of Police, and made a report of the defend.
ant's conduct, and an Inspector of Police had since called on him to
tell him that the defendant would retain his situation, as he hid
only done his duty.
Sarah Scott, the woman who was in the custody of the policeman.
corroborated Mr. Mallard's evidence. Tice policeman had frighcened
a child, and she remonstrated with him, when he swore at her, and
dragged her in the manner stated.—The defendant said he had
chastised a child, and the woman abused him ; he took her int.'
custody to intimidate her, when Mr. Mallard interfered to pr:.
vent him.
Mr. HALLS said the case must go before a jury, as the fine al.
lowed to be imposed under Mr. Peel's Act would not reach the ere
The defendant was then held to bail
