They then took their seats is form before the Bar. PAWNBROKERS. WALTIII V. SMITS. .• UV. Clunwsv moved to sat aside the verdict in this • cam for the plaintiff, and eater a *tomtit. It was an medal is 'rover, brought by an Attorney against a pawnbroker fir not restoring a pledge. It appeared that the plaintiff pledged a watch for two guineas, and sent to redeem it after twelve months and a day bad expired. The defendant refaced to deliver it, on the ground that the pledge was forfeit, and liable to be sold acceding to the provisions of the Act of Par lispent. Mr. Gunny now conteaded that the Plain tiif moat be immeshed, as the time bad expired when he bad to redeem the pledge. The action upon Adds 1 i power to .- ..- the question arose was the 39th and 40th of Oee. 111. cap. 99. In the 17th section it Is enacted that the property pawned or pledged shall be deemed forfeited. sad may be sold at the expirstioa of owq tear. exclusive of the day es which t►e goods were pledged. Judge Ban.ay.—This watch had not been sold, hot embalmed In the heads of the defendant. Mr. Cuellar —*Mil I submit that it was slier a year and a day when the application fur redemption wee made. 'and that the plaintiff had no power to redeem it. Judge Barter—The Act states that goods are for► flit and liable to be mid ; that means, that the pawn- Lroker shall be warranted in selling, in cue they are not redeemed and the expenses paid. Mr. Ouse:sr said a subsequent clause allowed the party to give notice to the pawnbroker before t►e ex-1 - Oration of twelve menthe, not to sell, and i■ case of notice the party was allowed three maths ia addition to the twelve. The pawnbroker was also directed to prepare fur a sale by catalogue and advertisement, and the Court would see that his situation would be tie of great difficulty if the owner could redeem therms& before sale. Judge Hamm—Would the pawnbroker have been entitled to sell, if all the expense, as well as principal and interest, bad been tendered? I think not. Mr. Guaxav—The Act has fixed twelve months and a day for the redemption of goods, and if they are not redeemed within that time, I submit they are forfeit. Judge Hat Lev—Yon may prepare for sale, presum ing they are forfeited, but you are liable to be stopped from selling. Lord Cuter Jos - mi.—l think we cannot give to the word forfeit the effect contended for. The word forfeit, upon the construction we have heard, implies that the property is lost, and the absolute right of re demption gone ; vas it is manifest by this Act, that after the property '4144, the ownerisutitled to any surplus in the hands of the pawnbroker. The 'sale is not forthe sole benefit of the pawnbroker. He is to sell and pay over to the owner all that may re main after he his received principal, interest, and ex roses. The pawnbroker has a right to put op goods for sale after the expiration of a year and a day; bet, if before the sale, the nwner tenders prin. tipal, interest, and the expenses, the pawnbroker may restore the goods. He sustains no injury; but gross injury would he 'lone if he was allowed to sell for the purpose of obtaining higher interest than the law allows. Out the whole, I ■m clearly of opi nion that tracer in this case can be sustained, and the application cannot be gr►eted. Judges BAYLCT, HOLRO% o. and MST, were of the same opinion, anti Mr. Outings took nothing by his [IRO C. TOWNSEND. Mr. CMITTI moral to arrest the judgment in this ease. It was an action against the Defendant for a . libel. It was alleged that the Defendant said the Plaintiff was an informer. and that be had given infor mation at the Castnm•house against Mrs. Barber of Pall-mall, stating that she had contraband goods in her • possettilm. In conseq f the above report the Platedlf lost a customer in Mrs. Barber, and was ather4se injured. The Jary found a verdict for 20!. damages. M r.CatirT low contended. that the weeds impu•eJ to the Defendant were not a libel; bat the Court, coder all the circumstances, refused to disturb the verdict. .. • ilk Oft% IL RlNlffiti vim astviVvvis ..

MO• Ilattstox-Noess..—lfesSerday, some members eithe , Corn and Coal Ceinnsitt" sad two of the pdacipal Coal Meters of the city. Wooded at the Justine-room, for the purpose of establishing a charge against Wos. Walker. one of the labooriag coal-meters. Mr. Anderson, one of the principal coal-meters, stated , to the Lord Mayor that he had, by the direction of the Corn and Coal Committee. suspended the defend ant for improper conduct. On the 21st of December the defendant delivered twenty-six sacks of coils, which upon being re-measured were found to be deb cies' thirteen bushels—a thing which could not have taken place had the defendant performed his duty. Walker said in his derma, that he was safortn 'lately sick on the morning the coals were measured, and although be told a different story to the Commit tee, bad not attended until the coils had left the yard. which took place before six in t►e morning. He ac counted for the deficiency by stating that the waggon were detained in the street nearly three hours, after they bad quitted the yard, and probably were pilfered during that period. Mr. Perkins, who had purchased the coals, and ascertained the deficiency. stated that be was coo vinad the loss was owing to t►e conduct of the de fendant. The sacks which were found to be deficient, had so marks whatever of baying been pilfered; and the deficiency no doubt arose from the understeadiug that too frequently took place between the sellers of coal, and the labouring coal meter.• The Members of the Committee and the Leap MAYOR for some time consulted together upon the sob jut, and the result was the diseased of the coal-meter. His Lordship, in delivering t►e sentence. took the op portesity to state. that there were mealy presume im the coal trade. wbo were in the habit of advertising " Che■p Coals for sale ;" but who were daily eliciting the pablic is quantity and quality. Those persona, the Lord Mayor added, could not pursue such a vil lainous system, without the assistance of the labouring coal -meters, who had it in their power to give a com plete check to the practice. Pustac Orrice, Bow-s•raaxr.—Yesterday Edmond Bell, a man of respectable appearance, was brought up for re-examination on a charge of bigamy. Mr. A Liar and a Solicitor &needed for the prisoner.
