A ram of considerable interest to pawnbrokers came ow on 110 Way last, before the Lord Mayor, whets Mr. Purse, • respectable pawnbroker, residing in London Wall, was sommoned tinder the pawnbrokers' act, to sliew cause why he refused to deliver lip a cmantity of silver plate, which had been pledged with him lifter it had been felo niously stolen from Mr. Truley, silversmith, of the Old Bailey. Mr, Tinley stated, that about three months since a man named Clifford, well known to the trade as a jobber, caked upon him and asked for a quantity of goods, which lie enumerated, as lie wanted to %hew it to a gentleman who wished to purchase a stock of plate. The complain ant, as was the essual course of trade, entrusted him with the quantity reqnested, but day after day went over w itl t any intelligence, and the result of the speculation *us. that Clifford absconded. Some lime after this, the complainant received a letter from Clifford, enclosing two duplicate., part of the property which bad been pledged with Mr. Piaise.—llie eumplainant was cross-examined by Mr Williams, the solicitor fur the defendant, when lie stated that lie suspected Clidoed a long time before he aluconded, but by lullowisag 1 closely he gut a great part of the plate back again, as Caitlin d mutt probably ;walled the property of others to release his (the coin planatit's.) not employed police officers for the apprehension of Clifford. Mr. %1 illiams, on behalf of Mr. Purse, contended that the complainant was nut entitled to recover back the pro perly, inasmuch as he had nut used doe dililence to bring the felon to justice. Were such claims as these admitted against pawnbrokers, a door would be opened to the gs 'Meat collusion between the parties. lice Loud Mayor was of opinion that the pawnbroker ought not in this case restore the pods, as the proseen. for had not teed reasonable diligence fur the protection of his property, and the apprehension of the prisoner. Mr. Truley exclaimed strongly against the pawnbrokers, and said, that if they used proper diligence, scarcely a • truth of this deseription could happen. In the present fastener, when Clifford pawned the goods, lie represented that lie was the tuanitlatturer of them, when at the same tube Mr. Purse must have seep that it was nut title. The Lord Mayor advised the complainant, as the only means of ri coveting his property, that he should make eerily eget lion to apprehr nd Clifford, when, upon his con vic:ion, Mn. Pike *unlit lie obliged to deliver it up. '1 lIAMES POLICE. Tux CLERGYMAN V. TIM Tlinrsday last, I.ot Ifrs.
