LONDON BRIDGg.-At a Court of Common Connell

after considerublediscussion; in the coarse of which Mr.
PLAVgL stated, that the Committee had had 50 plans laid
before them, and they had decided on one, the cost of
which was to he hat 360,000/., sad he unders•oo:l a con-
tractor was rea ly to take it at that amount. Now the
Comtnivee had reported that the funds ap .licable to this
object amounted to 500.0001., and it was not recessary to
think immediately of new approaches. He had no doubt
but that 103,000/. were quite adeinate to all immediate
expenses. Some of the wooden houses leading to St.
Margaret's Hill might be taken down at little expense,
and it was consolatory to fit,d that they had sufficient for
immediate expenditure.

ASSAULT.-- LAY/1161,0 V. SEMPLE.

This wits an action brought by the plain iir, a respeet.
able tradesman. to recover from the defendant, a 'rime.
liter, residing at the Regent's Canal, compensation in
damages for an assault committed by him upon the plain.
tiff's son.
Mr. Pimurs stated the case for the plaintiff. On the
34 of September last the tleferdaut's son, in a playlet
mood, was throwing up his hat near the defendant's
premises and it fell over the defendant's gattlen-wall ;
'the boy climbed over the wall to recover his hat, abide
lay under an apple-tree, from which some apples hail
dropped ou the ground. The boy, tempted by th 4
apples, took two ofthent ; hut no sooner had he done
so than the defendant seized him, and said he nuald
hang him, drown him, and Bibb ti him. The boy rT-
platned to the defendant Ids reason fur getting
over the well, and offered the defendant a shilling for the
apple*, hut all reinenstove was in vain, and tl.e defendant
dragged the boy about 150 yards t r a pond, in which he
immersed the buy, alto cried out "murder!" and a
crowd of persons assembled ; but before pithy persona
had assembled, the defendant took the bly to the crvie,
suspended him by a rope about his middle, and, by werl...
ing the crane, p'aced him at the other side of the canal,
where the buy extricated himself and ran away. le.
L arned eoensel of served, that no professional man (nd l
be answerable tor the truth of the instructions which he
might receive, but It • (.tlr. P.) was satisfied that if he
odd prove to the sati.f edion of the Jury one-half of
his inur it tions, they world rise the plaintiff every shil-
ling claimed by Lan for this cruel and wan•on treat-
ment.

Mr. Outwits, for the defendant, said, this was merely
• qntstion of damages. lie did nit mean to justify tl e
conduct of the defendant; but he trusieJ that the Jury
wauld m tke some excuse for a man who found a how in
Vie act of robbing his garden, and nould be of opinion
that very trifling damage.; would meet the justice of the
case.

HIS LORDSHIP summed up, and the Jury having con.
suited together for a f.-w minutes, found a verdict for the
plaintiff.—Dan.ges 1001.

iIIiRIFY V. !MADAME VgIITRIS.

Mr. PUILLIPS sta,ed that this action teas brought to
recover the price of goods sold and delivered, to which
the defendant hal pleaded that she was not liable.
Mr.(ivaxev said, that the plaintiff was a milliner,
who sought to recover the amount of her hill for arti-
cles of dress furnished to the defendant, whose name
was familiar to the public as a performer at the theatre.
A negocistion here took place between the Counsel and
Attornies in the cause, which ended in withdrawing a 'jt:r..r,
on terms which did not transpire.
