Crown, Mercer S reet, Eustou Square, on the body of
J. Freentsunle,*pork butcher, aged 82, who was wot k-
iiig at a sausage-machine, when his clothes were caught

he was so dreadfully mangled as to cause his death the
same night. Verdict Accidental Death."
',yesterday an Inquest was held at the Talbot Arms,
'Holborn, upon the body of Mr. Maurice Douglas, of
Wh,teh even. It appeared that the deceased was a gro.
'car and dealer at Whitehaven, and was in the habit of
coming to Londonipite in the year to make purchases
for his business. He arrived in town fur that purpose
oullaturday last, and had already shipped 7001. worth
of goods. On Wednesday evening, about seven o'clock,
he went out to take a walk, and in endeavouring to
cross Holborn-hill, towards FleetiMarket, he was knock-
ed down by the horses of a waggon belonging to Messrs.
Draper and Thistleton, of Bermondsey, and the wheels
passed over his neck and part of his face; he died in-
scantly.—.The circumstance being purely accidental, a
verdict to that effect was recorded, and a.noruinal deo-
dand of one shilling levied on the wheel.

viAstik v. STILL.
This was an actidn on a bill of exchange for SS/.
endorsed by the pl A intiff and accepted by the defendant.
The defence was, that this bill had been obtfined under
fraudulent representations, and that no value had been
given for it. To prove this point several witnesses were
called by the defendant. whose testimony was rebutted,
by others called by the plaintiff. The evidence given'
by these parties was of the most conflicting nature.
The LORD CHI sr J orrice, for his own part, conceived
that the evidence given on the part of the plaintiff was
by far tl e most consistent, supported as it was by do
cumentary evidence. It was, however, for the Jury to,
say. on which they considered they conid place thel
greatest reliance.
The Jury, without a moment's hesitation, returned al
verdict for ehe plaintiff for the fall astionnt claimed.
In the court.e of this trial another squabble occurred
between the Lotto Cum' JUSTIO6 and Mr. Sergeant'
WILDE. The latter was engaged for the defendant,
and, on being asked, stated what were the grounds of
his defence.

The Loan Cities Antrim then desired him to go into
it, and it would or seers if there were any thing in it.
Mr. SergeantWune-1t will then be seen, I dare say.
The Lotto Cut Es JUSTJCI—ReaIIy, brother Wilde,*
I cannot put up with this behaviour. 1
Mr. Sergeant WILDE—.When such observations—
The .1
Loan Cittarluarice—Brother Wilde, what 1
now say, I say in tt.e most perfect good humour—
Mr. fierg. W,t tom (interrupting )—I em sure I hope so.
The LOltD Cuter Justice (continuing)—But I must
desite that you will not repeat my words after me in
the manner you have just done, because it is sot civil.
Mr. Sergeant Watne—l hope I shall be permitted to
conduct my cakes in the usual way.
The L,•RD Class JUSTICE (to the Associate)—Mt.
Knapp, take this down,—take down the words that
were repeated after me: such conduct must not be.—
These occurrences ale eery painful to rue.
Mr. Sergeant Wttoz—And more so to me. Here
the matter rested.
