PotIor, June 25.-Frisby VS. Samson.--This was
proceeding before Justice Boodgood, to seek redress
for scandalous words, threatening language and in
spltine meHaees. The complainant, Mrs. Bridget
Frlsby, who occupies a back parlvr OF back build
ing in Anthony street, situated on the second story
| thereof, stated her case 10 the magistrate. The de-
PENDANT il appeared from her story, was tailor or
tee'er as the lady genteelv pronounced IT, by trade
who worked in o room underneath the premises oc.
cupied by her. He was in the habit of singing oil
sorts Of songs and making oil sorts of noses; at
mes n w md I'm,
attempting 10 initiate certain play actors; and at
other times setting her teeth on tdge, by initiating
the squeallng of pigs the Growing of cocks the new
ing OF CATS and the barking of dogs, frequently wax.
ing up the baby, and thereby in,erruptng her in her
household duties. She had in vain exPostulaed; and
on Sunday, not thinking at the time of deing any
harm, she Inadvertently emptied basin Of slops out
OF the back window, a portion Of which might have
fallen upon the defendant. Whereupon he springs up
stairs like mad bull, and laundering away al her
paror door, which fortunately she had the presence
OF mind 10 lock, called her ten thousand she dcvis,
he be the death of her. and threatened 10 pull
the door down il she did not make instant reparaol
for the damages she had accustomed; when com
painant thought il high time TO call for assistance
and have him taken care Of.
Mr. Samson admitted much Of Mrs. Fnsbys
statement as related 10 his profession and place OF
abode TO be quite correct, but he declared that the rcst
all false. IL was true that he sometimes amused
himself with singing catch or two from the admired
ballad OF "all around my att but that IL very
unharmonous as the lady had charged was utterly
untrue As 10 the cats and dogs spok of they wee
real animals that the lady had been annoyed with
and no was sorry TO add that these animals belonged
10 tho lady herself and was source of great annoy
ance 10 him. ms well as the whole neighborhood He
was sitting quietly upon his shop board on the Sun
day morning referred 10, not thinking OF any disturb
ance and just humming over verse or two Of black
eyed Susan" when splash comes into his window
the contents Of swlll bucke drenchinR his premises
with filthy water asd utterly ruinIng his best fflcd
shirt Here the defendant exhibited tho garment re-
ferred to- which had indeed, from all appearances,
countered some very foul usage. And then sir, con-
tinucd Mr. Samson, merely walked up stairs and
talked 10 Mrs. Fnsby about the damage she had &C.
casoned, when she showed up the window and
screamed for assistance like stuck pig.
II was evident from all the facts and circumstances
that the defendant was very noisy, disaereeablc,
qiarrclsome man but as in this particular instance
tappcared that he had come oil second best and as
there no direct proof of the assault, the magis
tratc dismissed the compliant, and advised Mr. Sam
son not TO make quite 70 much use Of his jdp bone IN
future.
