The *6w eoav moncod (according to the version 6f thd acioused) about tho benefit to bo given to the Oddfellows' BHxad^. He had beon asked to give his Bonioea j of oourae, gratuitously } and he had implied that he would, provided feho benefit was to be a bond fide one for the Fund, and not got up as much for the theatre as for it j as if so, he would not act; but rather get up another entertainment elsewhere, where the whole, proceeds would be handed Voter to it. Puettelkow then came, up, and in a short time high words ensued. The evidence of several witnesses was- then taken, but it all had a tendency to show that HoUowkys intentions on going to the theatre had been for the very purpose of exciting a disturbance, and the language he used at the time fully corroborated this. The Bench found the case fully proven, and bound the accused over in his own recognizances to keep tho peace for the period of six months. Civil Cases. Mullock v. J. Abthitr. — Ciaim for £6 12s. No defence. Verdict for plaintiff, with costs Us. Mabth v. C. Conliffe. — Claim for £3 ss. No defence. Verdict for amount for plaintiff, with costs 28s. Mofpat and Newton v. Rowe. — This was a remanded case for cost of constructing a crossing in Dee-street, at Pickford and Co.'s premises. Defendant on this occasion did not appear, and a verdict was awared by default in favor of plaintiff. Friday, sth August. (Before M. Price, Esq., E.M.) Thomas Edwards, for being drunk, was mulcted in the usual penalty. (Before H/M'Culloch, Esq., JVP.) Moms Salek was again brought up on remand, on the charge of conspiracy with Joseph Silverberg, at the instance of Messrs. Buttner and Hallensteiu and Mr. W. H. Whitton. Mr. S. M. South appeared for the prosecution. Some additional evidence was adduced, but generally of an unimportant nature, after which The Bench said there was a sufficient prima facie case before him to warrant him in committing the accused for trial at the next sittings ef the Supreme Court. Salek was allowed to renew his sureties, and entered into his own recognizances to appear at said coin-' Mowat v. M'Donali . — CI tint for work and labor done under Groven ment. The plaintiff, it appeai eel, Had authorised the defendant to draw his money from the Treasury on one occasion, but he wished to recover also a sum of £8 155., which he contended he had obtained from the Treasury on hia account. The defendant's plea was "payment in full," and produced a pay sheet, purporting to be signed by plaintiff as having received the money. The plaintiff denied the signature. Mr. M'Donald, solicitor, who conducted defendant's case, applied for a remand till the following morning, that the defendant himself might give evidence. Case remanded accordingly. Wilson v. Haebis. — Claim for £8o for wages and labor done. Mr. South for plaintiff. Mr. C. E. Button for defendant. Mr. Button applied for an adjournment of tliis case, on the ground that the summons was only served late the evening previous, and it was likewise a case in the Extended Jurisdiction, and no time had been allowed for the preparation of the defance. Mr. South objected to this course, but The Bench adjourned the case till Monday next. Beaten t. Von Hamheb. — In this case, which the resident magistrate, Mr. Price, had reserved till this morning for consideration, it was congldered by : him that the better plan to dispose of the case would be to refer it to arbitration, as had been done in the cases recently before the Supreme Court, in which the defendant in thia action was similarly concerned. This decision met the views of counsel, and it was accordingly referred to the award of arbiters. COLLINS V. TON HAMMER. This case was decided as the previous one. The Court then adjourned.
