Mr. Masatarr, for defendant, said, it WO wally the defendant's misfortune to have been the patinas' of these parties as the plaintiff, as Mr. Glynn had neverjuly credit for the amount of Brown's note. the condition upon which be executed the bond. For so mesh M Mr. Glynn's owe note, the defendant considered Meanie re sponsible, but not so in respect of Brown's own note. which Mr. Pendarvis had taken up without any autho rity from him. (The Learned Counsel here put in a re ceipt fur 4001. from Mr. Brown, dated August 1816.) — The question was whether the Jury were to give plain tiff damages against defendant for the money which he Chisintiff) had received from Brown. He submitted the Jury could only assess the damages at 541. Long Annui ties, for which the defendant was liable. The Loan Cuter Jvsnca observed, there was no payment proved, either ae to the Reduced or Long Annuities. Mr. SCARIATT—Tbe defendant has paid the dividends up to April, 1821.

Verdict for the plaintiff-5.2451. and costs. MARMIRS AND CO. V. ABBOTT AND co. Mr. SCARLETT stated that this was an action against the celebrated wine-merchants in Skinner Street. Snow Hill, to recover the amount of two bills of exchange. A letter of the defendants would be put in apologising fur fvetting in a defence to this action and requesting urther time for payment; they were ;hen in the jaws of bankruptcy. and the action, in the first instance. was undefended. The defendants had since applied for a new trial, on the ground that they had a good defence, for that the White were of a bad quality.—Messrs. Mar lines were considerable importers of wine. This was a quantity of wine for which the bills in question were drawn. Plaintiff, however, determined to keep eight pipes in his hands until the first bill should be paid. When applied to, Messrs. Abbot requested platatiff would renew the first bill. They had sold part of the wine received from the plaintiff and offered to deliver it back. A clerk of the pialistifili proved the handwriting of drawers and acceptors. Another witness proved the hand-writiag of Mr. Tho mos Abbott. Crois-exasoined—Witoess knows nothing Of the trans action. The defence being that there wee usury in retaining the wines in question until the bills became due, as those wines were sold at 12 months' credit. The LORD Cater Jun.lce was of opinion the defend ants' pleas had failed as to usury. Verdict for the plaintiffs-10501. Mr. SCARLETT rse s oested his Lordship to certify that there was no pretence for a Special Jury, upon the defence of usury. POLICE. MANSTON HOUSIZ.—EXSTER COACH ROBHIRT:INS. terday, Wm. Thomas was brought before the Lord Mayor, by Martin, the officer, charged with having robbed the Exeter Subscription Coach of a parcel of bank notes to the amount of upwards of I,IM. on the 6th of Dec. The notes were the property of Messrs. Sparkes and Co. of Exeter. The officer stated, that be accompanied a person, named Dennis, to a public boom in Tash Street, Orgy's Inn Lane, and there took the prisoner; there were 11 sovereigns in his pocket and a small gold watch. Thomas Dennis, of 17, Crown Court. Doswell Street. firework maker. stated, that on the 6th of December, between six and seven in the evening, as he was going with work to Broad Street, Saint (Ales's, he saw the prisoner, with three other men, near the Old Bell and Crown, in Holborn, and knowing them to be bad cha racters, he watched their movements till they reached Piccadilly. The Exeter Subscription Coach drove up, and witness saw the three men about it. The prisoner ran to the of side of the coach, while his two friends sensed to be handing a lady out at the pavement side. The guard had a light in his hand, and was looking over some boxes which lay on the pavement by the hind wheel,—The prisoner, at that instant, seemed to be on his knees looking about the coach, and then twist to the door of it and brought away something like a 'scree!, which he held to his breast. He was immediately joined by his two companions, and the three walked on towards Berkeley Street. Mr. Hanatca.—Why did you not give notice of their conduct at once, as you suspected they were about no wing good? _ _ Witneu.—l did not know whether they were doing right or not.. The LORD MAYOR said, it was extraordinary that the witness should take so much trouble, if be did not think the► were doing wrong. Phillip Dennis, brother to the witness, stated the same paricalars. Mr. HARMER :milted, whether the guard was spoken to by any of the nom? The witness said not.l Thus. Howe, a ticket porter, stated that on the 7th of Dec., between ten and eleven in the morning, the pri saner came up to him, gave him lyre St notes of Han bury, Taylor. andidowfs, told him to get cash kr them, and said that lie should wait in Angel Court, Throginor • to:. Street, to receive the money. Mme.'s got sovereigns for the notes sccorning to order, and deli erred them to the prisoner, who met him before lie got to Angel Court. The prisoner then gave him six SI. notes, saying, "You way as well get me these six notes at Itore's and Co. Witness r membered the litter note* were of the fcvietock Bank. He gut cash fur them, and brought them to the prisoner, who paid him a couple of shillings fur his trouble. The witnesses "walnut the Guard of the Exeter coach, who was commuted some time ago, were asked whether they knew the prisoner to be its/mien who asked them for the parcel ?

Alderman Waitharan, .which may probably lead to the discovery of a whole,gang, who get their livelihood by this sort of plunder about Nee/gate marker. A lad, who gave his name George. Hale, was brought rp on ohs charge of Mr. Bush, the husellord-ot the Bell lea, Warkwick•lane, who stated that while in his the window of which looks into a passage leading front Netvgateanarket into Warwick Lute, about half•past eight o'clock on Wednesday evening, he observed the prisoner passing( with a side of pork on his shoulder. — knowing (bet frequent robberies had taken place in the market lately, he suspected the fellow had stolen it ; be ran out immediately and stopped him oear the top of Warwick-Tana.—Some Officers oho happened to be near Its spot canto to his assistance at the moment, to whom be told his suspicions, and the prisoner ass in souse uince taken hack in custody to his house, while lie (Mr. Bush) went to make inquiries in the Market, where be soon learnt that- a side of pork bad been stolen from Messrs. Waddell and Hill, salesmen in the market. Mr. Waddell identified the meat as his property. The prisoner bad nothing to offer in his defence, but that he was in distress, having been out of work for up wards of twelve months. The Alderman oas about to commit the prisoner for trial, when Mr. Bosh interposed, with... view of taking the Magistrate's opiuiun whether it mig4koot be ad visable to admit the prisoner as an evideoFe: Since he had been in custody, be bad confessed to him (Mr. 13.) that be was one of a gang of fourteen, of different ages, who were constantly loitering about the mark et, on the watch to plunder, and he had told him the name and re sidence of the person who received from them whatever property they stole. Mr. Alderman WAITUMAN said, the evidence of the prisoner would be of no use unless supported by ether testimony, or Wor( corroborating circumstances. Mr. Bush despaired of being able to produce such evidence at present, and the prisoner was committed to Newgaie for trial. Margaret Jeans. whose previous examination upon the charge of having committed various depredations at the last two places at which she had lived as servant, as noticed in nee paper of Tuesday last, was brought up for final examination, and was fully committed. BOW•IITREIM—P. Townaensl was brought up before G. R. Minsboll. Esq. on a waitrons, charging him op suspicion of being concerned in stealing several pier and other looking glasses, bed and window furniture. and other 'articles, to the amount of about 601. the pro- perty of a lady named Denecke. Mrs. Deneck• stated; that she was the widow of a Major in the Army, and rented a house is Air street. Picadilly. In the course of last summer she was about to leave town for Brighton, and advertised fur a tem porary tenant for her house. She was applied to by ao elderly woman, having the appearance of a lady. who stated that her name was Hill. that she was residing is town for a short time with a sick nephew, who had come from the toiletry for the benefit of superior advice and that she wanted a Isom for about the term which' , Mrs. Denecke world be absent from town. Mrs. Denecke was well r .r•1eve.1..... to meet with such a tenant, but thinking a little caution necessary, she requested a reference to some person who knew Mrs. Hill in Lon don. The latter, without hesitation, referred her to a person in Eaton street,l'hulico, who said abe had known Mrs. Hill for 20 years, and that she was a lady of pro- perty in Sousereetaltire,who same accession ally toLondon to transact business. This amount was strictly nth. factory to Mrs. Needle, and she gave up the possession of the house and (wahine to Mrs. Hill, and went to Brighton, where she remained 20 weeks. When the first quarter's rent became due, she wrote to Mrs. Hill, requesting payment. but some excuse was made. and having no doubt of her respectability, she did not press the demand. On the 2il of December, she returned to London, and went to her lions. in Air street, but found it closed, and the front door locked. She went to the house of a neighbour, where .she had been but a short time when a letter was brought addressed to her, and enclosing the key of the front door of her s house.

The lookiorglassee, bed and window furniture. and beds, had disappeared. She made application the next morning at this office, and Smith and Dorrington, two of the patrol, were employ ed to endeavour to tied Mrs. Hill and her supposed nephew ; but were unsaccesstul until Wednesday after noon, when Smith apprehended the prisoner at a public house at the west end of the towa, where be found him eating his dinner. le the interim. Mrs. Denecke had been indefatigable in her inquiries, and had ascertained that the prisoner was the young man who had passed for the nephew of Mrs. Hill. and he lived constantly in the house with her, but was not in reality at all related to her. She hail slanted also that the goods width she missed from the house bad been pledged at different pawnbrokers ; but she was unable to state that the prisoner had actually removed or pawned any part of the property, although she had no doubt. from alt that had come to her knowledge, that be was privy to, and concerned in the depredations that had been coup witted. The prisoner. when called upon for his defence, said it was true that he lived in the hoes' with Mrs. Hill, but be had no participation whatever in tho removal of the goods, or in the profits arising from their disposal. He was certainly a most unfortunate man, but not a guilty one. He bad, within a very short time, been possessed of peemerty to a large amount. hot it was all gone, and nofortnnately had been wasted for the.benefit of others and himself being almost destitute. He first became ac quainted with Mrs. Hill at a boarding house in Dover street, Piccadilly, where she had lived as a sort of upper servant. While there he bad a long and dangerous fit of illness, and Mrs. Hill was so kind and attentive to him. that be prosnised, if it should ever be itt his power, to serve her in any way she might require. He subsequently advanced her considerable some of money, and impoverished himself by doing so. He was ill when she took the house in Air street. and, et her invitation. went to reside wth her. He certainly knew of the things having been removed from the houst,and since the 2.1 of Dec. but excried himself iu every possi ble way to raise mouey sufficient to repair the loss which Ales. Denecke had sustained. Some conversation took i place between the Magis trate and the prisoner, in the coarse of which the latter admitted that he had been is the habit of frequenting most of the gaming houses at the West end of the town, upon which the worthy Magiatrate observed, that those siuks of iniquity were sooner or later the certain ruin of those who frequented themend this was onlyoue among many instances that bad come before hint, of the truth of that observation.
