He therefore measured it, and examined it very mindtely, and agieed to call for . it on the following 'day. He, gave information at Union_hall, but on going to . the Prisoner the next clan the mahogany was gone. The Prisoner told him some oflicerS had hecu to search . the pre mises - for . it, he had 'therefore removed it to East_ Cheap,. but ikould take care Mr. W. should have it in a.short time. MI-. Win Stanley heard that a quantity of mahOgany had • been stolen from Mr. Dowson's Wharf ; be therefore went there; .and on being.shewn the logs frormwhence .the mahogany so stolen was cut, he was. convinced . that the wood shewn him by the Prisoner was cut from . the logs in bowson's yard.

That it was a goneral pradice with all the Courts to Noted their own witnesses; he there fore prayed the "Court to give a n order to Mr, Jen kins, the Keepel of the Gaol, to discharge.the man frOm custody. The order was given, and Mr. Jenkins attended in Court, but refuSed to give t 4 the man - without being indemnified for the sum of. the arrest, in case he should be called upon .by the parties, as he did - not conceive the order of the Court sufficient to 'w , briatit him in giving up the custody.
