The Counsel were proceeding to examine evidence as to the acknowledgment of the debt within six years, when Serjeant Bailey objeeled to the testimony of a third person on that point. The learned Counsel quoted precedents,which made it absolutely necessary, that the acknovelelgment of the debt, and the implied promise, should be made to the representatives of the deceased, which was not the proof in the present case. :The Los o Coster JUSTICE regretteh the no *pity of being obliged to admit the cited case., aid the Plaintiff was, of course, non-suited.

It appeared, that on Thursday last, the Protect,- tcr.was accosted by the Prisoner, at the end of Pope's-head-a:ley, who asked him to accompany her home, which he declined, and proceeded to Batson's coffee-house. On his arrival there, he called for some sealing was to seal some letters for the post. While be was in the se of sealing the letters. two men came into the coffee-room, and called for some brandy and water, and when the rws•cutor left the room, they followed him, though they had not drank their brandy and water ; outside the door he met the Prisoner again, who familiatly took hold of his arm, and he had not gone far with her, when he missed his pocket-book. returned into Batson's, called the landlord out of the bar, and told him he was ruined, as his pocket-book was stolen nut of his pocket. The Prosecutor could not swear the Prisoner took the book, nor that he felt her hand at any time, except when she took hold of him by the arm. On Friday evening be went in search of the Prisoner, about the hour at which he was robbed, and also on Saturday, having first changed his dre-.1. The Prisoner came up and snoice to him, and he had her taken into custody. She give the Officer the keys of her box, and told him wll , •re he might find it. The Waiter Batson's stated. that about ten minutes before six, he saw the Prosecutor and Pri son- conversing at the end of Pope's-head-alley the Prisoner h e h ad seen frequently. The Prisoner, its her defence, stated. that she was innocent of the charge. She had never seen the Prosecurer until Saturday evening, and had drank tea at the house of a Mr. Roper, where she re. mained From five o'clock, until saven on Thursday. Mr. Roper corroborated her statement. and gave her a very good charrSer. The person with whom she lodged, in Ch:spel street, Goodnsan's-fieLds, stated. that the Prisoner had lodged at his house for three months. 'lle greater part of the tithe the was sick. He, during that time, never saw any thing improper in hereon duet, hut the stria-st honey and propriety ; if it had been otherwise, she should ant have remained in his house. The Lona MA YOlt asked the Prisoner how she supportwi herself ? when she informed hi.; Lordship she had lived wish a gentleman, who left her, with a promise of future support ; having been sick for some time, her finances heir: expendod, she was obliged, for her support. to walk out now 2,1.1 then. She had taken part of her things from Chdpel street. to Cradhwcourt, St. Mary-Axe, where site now resides. intending. whoa her finances became better, to return. Upon 'hit evidence, and the Prosecutor not being able to swear positively to the identity of the Pri soner, the Lo yo it ot dered her to be discharged. Mr. Lewin, a woollen.inaoutaaurer. was sum mimed betore the LORD Mayon. by some Excise. Officers. who bid sewed some woollen-yarn. sent to the Defendant, which was not marked according to Aft of Parliament. It appeared that two package a, containing IV pnundi of woollen-yarn. were sent to Mr. Lewis, from his ',wise in the country. and net having been marked with Cie word "wool," they were sciarl by the Officers. An Attorney attended on the part of Mr. Lewis, from whose cross-examination it also appeared, that the yarn aas packed in mat ing, through which it was perceptible ; and he contended, that as there was no intention of concealment, it did not come within the meaning of t.ie A. On tlie other hand it was cont:rded, that the packages in question came fully within the Ae, and that every package that has not the word " wool" written upon it, is liable to Le seized. Mr. Alden 'tan Lea, who sat fur A short time with his Lordship, was of opinion, that the packages were not seizable, inasmuch as the intention of the MI was to prevent the exportation or smuggling of wool out of the kingdom ; and as it appeared the pickages were of such a construftion, that it could Lot be supposed Mr. Lewis wished to have the wool brought by stealth ; nor did he think it was possible the manner in which they were tied could allow them to be called packages. Mr. KING submitted to his Lordship, if any per son near the coast WAS to put yarn into an (yea eau, without any thing teed round it to keep it tn. Nether, and intended to convey it to Portsmouth, whether it would be seizable. The Loan hIsYOR wished to mitigate the fine ; lux the Prosecutors submitted it was not in his power to mitigate the penalty. After a great deal of argument on both sides. the offiers agreed to restore tl:e yarn to Mr. Lewis, on teceiving which the other agreed to pay. Ghat Irs Cooper and Iftigienx scrie charged with picking the pocket of James Henry C u sten, of an India silk handkerchief, on Saturday night. It appeared Mr. Custen was passing through Whitechapel, when he heard k man call out, "stop, Sir, you are robbed," he immediately turned round, and saw Ward drop a handkerchief, and an offices holdipg him. The officer who took them into custody, was on the watch for them, as they had made a praaice of robbing carts ; he SAW Ward pull the handkerchief out of Mr. Custen's pocket, and hand it to Cooper, when he collared them, and called out to Mr. C. he was robbed. • Cooper was recognised as a returned transport. They were remanded for a second examination.
