In the New Court yesterday the case of Sheedy v. Chadderton occupied the greater portion of the day. The action in this case was brought by a publican to recover the sum of £50 from the defendant, a brickmaker, rejoicing in the historic name of Goliah. The defendant's hours of relaxation appear to have been spent in the plaintiff’s house, where he devoted himself to all fours and bagatelle with exemplary perseverance, refreshing himself at intervals with champagne, sherry, and half-and-half. It was alleged that during the period of his acquaintance with the plaintiff the brickmaker had disposed of no less than 1540 nobblers. On (he other hand there was an unpaid account for bricks, and sundry money payments were sworn to, which, in the opinion of the jury, justified a verdict for the defendant.
