MORNING N. or the firm were very accurately kept, but that fact acts two ways, for although it might be said to be in favour of the bank rupts' condu c t o f t h e i r business, it could not but be evident that they must have known the situation they were in at. the different periods at which they made such 'a ho!esale spoliation of their customers' property. The elder bankrupt in continuation swore, that although his expenses were larger some years than others he had endea voured, when he found what was the state of his affairs, to de crease his expenditure. All the stock and moneys sold out were for the gener4 purposes of their business. In the in stance where they misappropriated Mr. Burnie's 0,1691. it went, as all others did, for the general purposes of business, to pay the current demands of the day. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS was sorry to see the bankrupt, a 'man of years as he was, so coolly speak of misappropriations like these, and say they were made for the general purposes of business. It was in fact robbing Peter to pay Paul ; it was robbing one family to pay what another family had lost ; and it appeared to him that all moral feeling must be lost when a party like the bankrupt, who had held such a respectable position in life, committed such enormities as those now disclosed. The bankrupt was understood to say that up to the hour of his failure he maintained an unblemished reputation at the Stock-Exchange. Sir C. F. WILLIAms—But it was not then known that you had applied 75,0001. of other people's money to the wants of business. The elder bankrupt was further examined as to his ex penses. In reply to a question from )Mr. Stone, he said that the average profits of the concern might be 3,000/., and they might have doubled their " drawings " (i. e.. what they took from the concern). Their books were regularly kept, which would show this. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS—And that makes it the more in famous, for you must have been aware that it did not answer. However, I would rather have the books you have presented than the fallacious averages that are often made in bankrupt es tates of the profits and expenses, if they do speak against you. Mr. Coates said he wished to examine the younger bankrupt. He appeared for Mr. Partridge, who was a heavy sufferer by the bankruptcy. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS assented. He would, however, com municate the reply of the official assignee to a question he had put to him, which had considerable bearing on the matter at issue. He had asked that gentleman whether, from the insight he had had into the books of the bankrupts and their general affairs, he had any reason to suppc.se they had made a purse for themselves. The answer was in. the negative. The Official Assignee said, he certainly believed they had not. Mr. STONE—As that is the case, and as that was what my examination was principally directed to, I shall not now press it further. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS (to the elder bankrupt)—With respect to the transactions that pased between you aid Mrs. Potter through her son-in-law, do you mean to swear that she never addressed you by letter, or note, or any written instrument upon those affairs ? The Bankrupt—Yes, I do, distinctly. Sir C. F. Witala Ms—What. not in the whole course of communication, not a note ? The Bankrupt—Most certainly not. Sir C. F. WILLIAms said he was induced to put the question thus strongly because he thought it so sirigular that no letter or note had been passed. It was very fortunate for the bank rupt that no letter had passed, for it only required writing to bring it within Sir Thomas Plumer's Act, and then he would have sto )cl in a very perilous position. The younger bankrupt was then sworn, and answered ques tions put by Mr. Coates, but which, as they had no specific view, were discontinued. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS thought it his duty to make some re marks upon this case,:which he charaterised as one of the most flagrant he had ever heard of. Here were two persons moving in a highly respectable sphere of life, whose associates. whose habits, and whose connexions ought to have been sufficient to deter them from pursuing the course of conduct they had, and who, invested as they were with great and unbounded confi dence, had, in betraying their trust, sacrificed the fortunes of their relatives, their friends, and their customers. The elder bankrupt had had a very narrow escape in the case of Mrs. Potter, who, ifshe had but written one note, would have brought him within the reach of the criminal law by the act he had before alluded to. How they could have stood up with any face before society with such a load of moral responsibility ota their heads he was at a loss to conceive. The deliberate and systematic manner that had marked the whole proceeding was such as to call forth the severest condemnation. Although reprehensible in the highest degree, the case where a man with any pressure upon him on the sudden emergency misapplied another's capital was comparatively blameless to this, where they hid in the most cool, designing manner, sold out 45,000/. of stock, besides misapplying 33,0001., moneys left in their hands fur investment. After such wholestve spoliation► of other people's means, they could expect no sympathy ; and, although they might think his observations severe, tk ey were nothing more than the justice of the case deserved. This curse of treachery, plunder, and breach of confi cler.ce they had carried on for a successive number of years, almost without the cessation of an interval. Their culpa bility was beyond all expression ; one out of ten thousand cases he thought could hardly be brought to equal it. But in viewing the responsibility which they had entailed upon themselv:s by the sacrifice of reputation, they must also feel that not the least part of it arose from the shock puhlic con ddence received when it became known, which might have truest materially injured their fellow-brokers. All such cases as these spread the seed of a want of confidence, and neigh bour suspected neighbour, however estimated he might be for prohiby and honesty. They might have been the cause of in calculable mischief. It was altogether a very melancholy case; such another he never wished to hear again, but he sincerely trusted that it would prove a warning to many persons, while be hoped some la w would be framed to meet these cases with proper punishment. A few years since the bankrupts would have been Liable to a banishment for fourteen years. After a few further observations Sir Charles declared the bankrupts passed. 31r. Burnie, one of the creditor's assignees, said he thought his Honour was under a false impression with respect to writ.. ten orders. There were many who had given written orders. He was one who had ; but he thought criminal proceedings did not attach, as the bankrupts had made themselves amenable to the Bankruptcy-law. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS was of opinion that criminal proceed ings could be taken. Ile, however, especially referred to Mrs Potter's case in his observations. _ . _ After some further remarks, in which it was contended by two or three solicitors present that the bankrupts could not new be prosecuted, the matter dropped. Having been sworn to their balance-sheets, the bankrupts, as usual, delivered over what was in their possession, and bid it described in the "declaration" of passing. In this instance thcrs were two weches and some loose silver. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS—Of course this property will be re. turned to the bankrupts ? . _ Mr. Burnie—As far as I am concerned for myself and try co•assgi,ee. they shall not have a farthing. I may be called a man of property, and have not lost inure than 3,000/. ; but there ale partici whom they have reduced to beggary. They rather deserved 14 years' transportation, but I am afraid they are beyond the reach of it. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS—Then the property must be given up. This seemed to affect the bankrupts more than any previous part of the proceedings. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) COLLS,THOMPSON AND HARRIS'S BANKRUPTCY. This was the day named to take the choice of assignees in this bankruptcy, the pa• ties to which carried on an extensive bill-brokering bussines in Lombard-street. The debts and li abilities are estimated at 370,0001., and upwards of 100,000/. were proved at this sitting. The proceedings passed over without any discussion, and Mr. Giles, of Fowkes-buildings, Mark-lane, cornfactor, and Mr. J. Marshall, Secretary to the Provincial Bank of Ireland, were chosen the assignees. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Devizes, July 22. The Commission for holding the Assize for the county of Wilts was opened here on Tuesday afternoon, by Mr. Baron Rolfe. Although there had been an anticipation that in consequence of the election there would be but little business, still the re verse has turned out to be the case. Twelve causes are en tered, which is a very large number for this county, and there are 33 prisoners for trial. On Wednesday the business of the Assize commenced, Mr. Justice Maule presiding in the Crown Court and Mr. Baron Rolfe at Nisi Prins. • CIVIL SIDE. WRIGHT V. BLEECR,CLERR. Mr. Earle, Mr. Crowder, and Mr. Bere conducted the case for the plaintiff; Mr. Rogers and Mr. Butt that of the de fendant. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for certain libels contained in petitions addressed by the defend ant to the Guardians of the Pewsey Union. Mr. EaLit, in stating the plaintiff's case, said that Mr. Wright had for the last two years held the situation of master of the Pewsey union workhouse, and his wile during that time had been matron of that workhouse, and to persons in such situations it was of course of the greatest importance that their characters should stand well in the estimation of the public. The defendant was a clergyman of the Church of England. the rector of finish, and he had at one time been chaplain to that workhouse. The libels which he had written we re o f so offen %ive a nature. and had been persevered in with such unexam pled malice, that the plaintiff had no other resource left but to come forward and seek redress at the hands of a jury ; for, al though his sole motive had been to clearhis . charact er f rom the c o o t m er p . lain l t o w someit,iota defendantonesingle uninjured ; cases imputations were thrown out in the heat of one moment, and withdrawn the next ; character was but when a course of malicious aspersi ons was unscrupulousl y persevered in the ruin of the individual attacked would inevi tably follow, and his life would be for ever r e ndered miserable, unless he came forward and challenged inquiry. The following letter was the first of a series of attacks addressed to Colonel Wroughton, the Chairman of the Board : "-Dear Sir,—l beg leave to call your attention, a of our Board of Guardians, to the grossly imm er ais fact, that Chairman there is at present a female pauper in the workhouse far ad vanced in pregnancy—the result of an adulterous connexion with the master oEihe establishment. " Other reports of an unpleasant nature are in circulation, bet I confine myself at present to the foregoing fact, and trust . you will see the nec ess ity of instituting an immediate and searching inquiry into the matter. " I am, dear Sir, respectfully yours, WILLIAM BLEECK. " Heigh Rectory, Feb. 19, 1841." To this letter , Col. Wroughton sent the following reply : " Dear was from home when your letter arrived, or you should have received an immediate answer. I beg to know from you if it is your wish that your note should be laid before the Board, and, if so, will you object to its being made a public document? You may depend upon it that every investigation that lies in my power, as Chairman, shall be made ; in the mean time I beg to thank you for the communication. " Stowell, Tuesday." " G. W. WROUGHTON. This produced the following : " Dear Sir,—l thank you for the favour of your note of yes terday, and I bog you will not hesitate to give all needful pub licity to my communication of the 20th init., relative to our union workhouse. " 1 further take the liberty of putting you on your guard atia'net the evasion, deceit, and falsehood to which my know ledge of the master tells me he cannot fail to have recourse, in order to escape detection in this matter. I know the man; and it has long been matter of deep concern to me that in an establishment schere one of the avowed advantages is an at tention to thtriligious and moral training of poor perishing souls, the pivancious example of so unprincipled a head should be constantly before them. I trust, however, that his iniqui tous reign is now fast drawing to a close. "I am, dear Sir, respectfully yours. " Huish Rectory, Feb. 23. " WILLIAM BLEECK. " Colonel Wroughton, Chairman of the Board of Guardians of the Pewsey Maim." These letters had been sent to Colonel Wreughton, who AVllk.,the party to sit in judgment upon the plaint:ff, and the e"tgelrnputed to the plaintiff was that he had been guilty of adultery. It would be supposed that the defendant had some_ evid ence upon wh i ch to rest before he thus aimed at the destructi on of the plaintiff's character ; he was challenged to V i b : d ar re lymi llue d h be evi h teric ld e, and he was told that a meeting of the . to substantiate his t o hear it; but, instead of coming forward 0007o:egret, statement, he wrote the following letter -- -L.ltzlee atthe vrovkho that through your non-attend , :1 for an' immediate inquif 'Tuesday last, the opportunity was lost the master , y into the alleged immoral conduct of " Time hail been thus afforded for an arrangement betty the parties, and detection of the master's guilt will, I fear, Le for a tirn evaded. " The evidence to be obtained mint necessarily lie in a small compass, and must depend mainly on the testimony of the wo man Elizabeth West, who acts as domestic servant to the master, and who is but too clearly it a state of pregnancy. " From a painful experience of the inutility of procuring even the most undeniable evidence before an interested tribu nal, I decline offering any tes•imonyon the pres ent occas i on. " I feel I have performed a public duty in calling your at tention to what I believe a fact, and must now leave it to yous • self to ascertain from other sources how far my information is correct. I remain, dear Sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM BLEECK. " Huish Rectory, Feb 25, 1841. Colonel Wroughton." Thus it was that the defendant made charge after charge for the purpose of blackening the character of the plaintiff. Find ing the guardians were determined to have a meeting, he ad dressed the following letter to them : " Mr. Bleeck presents his compliments to the guardians this day assembled, and respectfully calls their attention to an opinion current amongst the ratepayers, that there have long been in the workhouse, and supported at the expense of the union, two s , parate families belonging to the master, the girl Harriet, who acts as companion and helper to the matron, being no other than the illegitimate child of the master. As Mr. Bleeck has grounds for believing that this prevalent opi nion is founded on truth, it appears to him to be worthy the at- tention of the guardians at the present moment. " Huish Rectory, 2d March, 1841." There was not a shadow of foundation for the imputation, nor could the plaintiff offer one single excuse, or the slightest pretext, for the charge, except the malignity of his own mind. By this action the ilaintiff called upon the defendant, if he could support one single syllahle of his statement, to put it upon the record and produce his witnesses. If he could no do so, he stood convicted of being a slanderer. Mr. Bleeck merely replied that he did not write the letters, for that was the effect of his plea. He did not attempt to justify his charges, and yet he refused to withdraw them. A full investigation afterwards took place before the Assistant Poor-law Commis sioner, and the charges were proved to be false—totally false. All that Mr. Wright then wanted was an admission from Mr. Bleeck that there was no ground for the imputation, and he would at first have been contented with a nominal verdict, but down to the present moment the defendant refused to make the slightest reparation or afford the smallest redress. It was not only the blackness of the charge, but it was also necessary to look to the person from whom that charge came ; it pro ceeded from a man of station, of dignity in the church, and who, from his education and from his habits of life, might be considered to act with caution and circumspection. The libel then came with tenfold force from a person like the defendant, and the injury was to him greater. In proportion, therefore to that injury ought to be the damages. The letters were put in, as well as the following, addressed to Mr. White, the Clerk to the Union, in answer to a letter re questing Mr. Bleeck's attendance at the Board : " Sir - ,-1 have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 7th instant. In reply I beg to say that is not my intention to be present at the Assistant-Commissiener's in quiry on Tuesday next, well knowing that my appearance in the Board-room would not be agreeable to a majority of the Guardians. The evidence which I would otherwise offer on that occasion may, I trust, be obtained from a close examina tion on oath of the several female paupers still in the house, with whom the woman Elizabeth West has conversed on the subject of her pregnancy. I would further suggest that West's mother should be summoned for examination. She lives at or near Easton, and can reveal some important truths if inclined to do so. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, "finish Rectory, March 8. " WILLIAM BLEECK. " Thomas White, Esq., Pewsey." Colonel Wroughton and Colonel A'Court proved that an in vestigation afterwards took place, and that the Board came to the decision that there was no ground for the charge. The plaintiff was still continued in his situation. The defendant ceased to be Chaplain to the Union on May 12, 18-10. Mr. ROGERS then addressed the Jury for the defendant. Mr. Baron ROLFE having summed up, in conclusion, told the Jury that they must look to the whole circumstances of the case, and then say whether this was the act of a man bona tide discharging his duty, or the act of a man making use of a pretended discharge of his duty to traduce the character of another without adequate grounds, and he could not help making the observation, that he thought the defendant would have done better if he had instructed his Counsel at once to say publicly that he was satisfied he had been deceived, and that there was no particle of truth in the insinuation. The Learned Judge said he had listened for that, but he had listened in vain. They must, however, look at the whole case. If they thought it was a bona fide communication, they would find for the defendant; if not, the plaintiff would be entitled to a verdict, and then, he was entitled to damages ; and he should say, that a matter of this kind was inadequately met, unless substantial damages were given. The Jury, after some consideration stated that they were unanimously of opinion that the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict, but they wished to know what would be the amount of the costs, as they did not wish to give vindictive damages. Mr. Baron ROLFE said, first, he was not warranted in telling them if he knew, and in the next place, he could not do it, because he did not know. The Jury in a short time returned a verdict for the plaintiff —Damages, 2001. HOME ClRCUlT.—Chelmsford, July 23. CIVIL SIDE. BLACK AND OTHERS U. NEW COLLEGE, OXFORD. This case was not brought to a conclusion until a late hour on Thursday night. The evidence for the defence, consisting entirely of ancient leases and other documents, occupied upwards of eight hours. Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT then made a most able reply on behalf of the plaintiffs' case, and remarked upon the difficulty of ascertaining the actual meaning of the expressions used in such very ancient deeds as those that had been produced by the defendants, and also begged the Jury to remember that the antiquaries who had been produced as witnesses, themselves appeared to be en tirely in the dark as to the meaning of some of the ex pressions made use of, and that they admitted that many of them might be interpreted in very different ways, and this being the case, he put it to the Jury whether such evidence ought to weigh against the proof of living wit nesses, who had themselves, for a great number of years, paid the moduli now sought to be established. Mr. Serjeant 'PADDY was then about to address the Jury, when they intimated that they had made up their minds, and they immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiffs; thus establishing the modus as of right being attached to the land in question. The extent of the pro perty so situated is said to be nearly ten thousand acres, and the property interest at stake was said to be, whether, under the modus, threepence an acre should be paid, or ' whether, under the ordinary mode of taking , the tithe, about ten shillings an acre could be demanded. M'INTOSH U. THE WARDENS AND OTHERS OF NEW COL• LEGE, OXFORD. This was an action heard before Mr. Sergeant Taddy and a Special Jury, the plaintiff setting up for certain land in his possession on total exemption from the pay ment of tithe, and the Jury found a verdict for the plain tiff. (Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.) COLVERD V. BRAND. This was an action brought against the defendant for defamation of the plaintiff's character. When the case was called on, Mr. James, who ap peared for the plaintiff, intimated that the matter had been arranged, and said that the Jury would be spared from hearing the details, which he described as being of a painful character. Mr. Sergeant SIIEE, on behalf of the defendant, said he was instructed to stato that what had been said against the plaintiff was uttered in a moment of excitement, and that the defendant regretted what had occurred. - A verdict for the plaintiff, with nominal damages, was then given. BELL V. LEWIS. This was an action of trover to recover the value of 20 sacks of flour, which the defendant had appropriated to his own use. The plaintiff was a miller at Colches ter, and the defendant was a carrier in the same neigh bourhood, and was generally employed by the plaintiff to convey flour to his agents, Messrs. Hunter and Co ventry, in London. When the goods were sent, they were either fetched direct from the vessel by Messrs. Hunter, or landed at some of the wharfs, in the name of the plaintiff, till they were called for. In the month of May, 1840, the plaintiff sent 20 sacks of flour by a vessel belonging to the defendant, and which were landed at Nicholson's Wharf, London-bridge, in the name of the defendant. They remained there till the 14th of July, when they were delivered by an order from the defendant to a factor of the name of Berry, who sold them at 545. per sack. It was proved that when goods were put on board, verbal orders were generally given respecting them ; and that on the voyage in question the captain, finding that Messrs. Hunter did not send for the flour as usual, landed it at Nicholson's, without giving any directions about it. A demand and refusal to give up the property before the commencement of the action was also proved. On behalf of the defendant it was proved that on the 2d July the plaintiff assigned over his property for the benefit o f his creditors, and it was contended that the conversion of the property by the defendant did not The LEARNEllactaktJulnDa. take place till after that period, consequently the plaintiff had no right of flour was handedno: did n ot Was -of opinion that the con versionplace till the 14th July, when the s v n e i r te to Berry, consequently the i'fnfunsotublited, but leave was given to enter a ver plaii)ni diet in his favour for th e (Before Lord C, haniedf above should think proper.amount claimed, if the Court ti . ce TINDAL.) CR OWN COURT indicted for havin g bur I John Smith, aged 25 The S . Bennett, aged 28, were tfealiNnilgliathulerefrom two pounds five shillings in money , a silver watch, gr on ously brok e n and and various o th er Bones, putting him i e n n t t o er b e o d dily th f e ear h , ou n s n e d s o articles. Mr. Johnson prosecuted and Mr. Chambers defended the prisoners. The prosecutor, a very old man, resided in a lonel cottage at Lumden Hills , in this c ounty. About mid night on the 4th January last, he heard a noise outside his dwelling. Ile got out of bed, and seizing an old sword, went to the window, and observed in his garden a man armed with a bludgeon. The prosecutor, challenged him, but before he could obtain an answer he saw a light pass from one of his outhouses to his cot tage, and immediately the prisoner Smith, followed by another man, entered his sleeping room. There were refreshments on the table, with which they regaled them selves. At that time there were three men in the house, the two prisoners and a man of the name of Springin, who was, at the last Assizes, transported for life for another offence. They then ordered the old man up to bed, and in a short time Smith, who on entering had taken the sword from the prosecutor, went to his bedside and demanded his money. He gave him at that time 51., which he said was all he had. Bennett afterwards entered the room, and was seen by the prosecutor to take a jacket that hung at the foot of the bed. The prisoners after wards made the old man get up and supply them with some wine ; and on his return he saw Smith with his (prosecutor's) breeches in his hands, from the pocket of which he took a sovereign. The prisoners also took a great number of other articles, including a silver watchin4 some wearing apparel. They then went down stairs, and after carousing for some time, Smith and Spengin returned to the old man's room, *here the former stood over him with the sword in his hand, and demanded -- p~ 5 more money ; finding, however, that they could • not succeed, they bound him hand and foot with a clothes line, and in that state left him. About seven o'clock in the morning, the prosecutor succeeded in releasing himself, and immediately gave an alarm. About a fortnight afterwards, the prisoners were apprehended at Grays, in Kent, and were distinctly identified by the prosecutor. The stolen watch was discovered at a sil versmith's at 'Dartford, to whom it had been sold a clay or two after the robbery ; and the other articles were pledged at a pawnbroker's in the same town, but neither the silversmith nor the pawnbroker would swear to the identity of the prisoners. Considerable amusemennt was created in the Court by the policeman's narrative of the mode in which the prisoners were presented before the prosecutor in order to be identified. The poor old man was first put to bed, and the prisoners were then placed in the positions and attitudes described by him as attract ing his particular attention when the robbers were in the room, and he then declared his perfect satisfaction that they were two of the men. Mr. CHAMBERS addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoners, and commented in very strong terms upon the course adopted by the policeman as a means of identi fying the prisoners ; and suggested that the prosecutor, who was so very old, had been practised upon by the tableaux-vivant described by the policeman, and induced to believe that the prisoners were the actual robbers. The LEARNED JUDGE summed up at considerable length, and observed that all the ingredients necessary to constitute a burglary had been clearly proved, and the whole case turned upon the -identity of the prisoners. lie thought that very unfair means had been resorted to for t:.• purpose of identifying the prisoners. It was a practice neither warranted by precedent or principle, and he hoped such an exhibition would never occur again. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver dict of Guilty against both prisoners, and The LEARNED JUDGE sentenced them to be severally transported for the term of ten years.

Notwithstanding the very formidable array of cases of swindling of the subjoined description which have re cently been perpetrat:4l in this neighbourhood, and which one would have thought would have operated as warnings to others---another case occurred on Tuesday last, even more barefaced and impudent than any of its predecessors, and through which no less a sum than 187/. has been filched ! It apper.rs that there is an elderly farmer, named Day, residing at Doulting, near Shepton Mallet. On the day in question, a man of re spectable appearance, and possessing that peculiar kind of impudence which attaches itself to such characters, called upon him and introduced himself as a brother of a clergyman at Wells, whose name he mentioned. The name being familiar to the farmer, he freely entered into conversation with his new friend, who told him that he had just come into a little estate, and that he wanted to purchase two good milch cows. The farmer said he should be glad to sell him two if there were any on the farm that suited him ; so that he bad better look round. They accordingly took a survey of the stock on the farm bat of course there were none that " exactly suited" the man of money. . He therefore requested that the farmer would buy him two at Shepton Mallet market, and he would give him a sovereign for his trouble. The farmer said he would willingly do so ; but on the "gen tleman" saying he should wish to hear from " his lady," who was at Shepton Mallet, what sort of cattle would suit her, he agreed to walk over with him to see her. As they jogged along the road, they met another " gentle man," who accosted the first gentleman in the usual way. There was a great deal of bowing and scraping and many " How-d'ye-do's" and so on, passed betwixt them, and the poor old farmer began to be quite pleased with his company. At length the new-corner said to his friend—" You've heard of my uncle's death, I suppose?" "Pon my word I've not—when did the old gentleman die?" rejoined the other gentleman. "Oh ! the other day ; and I'm glad to say he has left me a nice little estate,which I want to let to any one who can stock it well ; I don't care to whom." " Allow me to introduce you to my friend Day," said " gentleman No. 1," " he can stock it I've no doubt ; I've just been over his farm, and a capital lot o' catte he has there, I can assure you." The farmer hinted that he had a son for whom he should like to take the farm, and that he could stock it. " Gentleman No. 2" appearing somewhat dubious upon this point, farmer Day thought himself somewhat un fairly reflected upon, and immediately produced his purse, to show them that he had money as well as stock. The said purse contained a deposit note, dated Shepton Mallet, May 28, 1841, No. 204, payable to W. Day, for 1001. ; a receipt for 401., No. 15, dated Shepton Mallet, March 5, 1341 ; both of Stockey's bank ; 47/. in cash notes, and two sovereigns. The whole trio smiled hap pily on the treasure—farmer Day being its possessor de facto, and the " gentlemen" on being its possessor in perspective. Shortly afterwards, the man who had the estate said he was going further then, on business, but that he would give the farmer a call another day ; and therefore bade them good afternoon. The other " gentleman" then said he did'nt think it was worth while troubling " his lady" about the cows ; he would leave it to the farmer's judgment to the market. He might as well, however, give him the sovereign, and then it would be done with. To this farmer Day had not given the slightest objec tion ; and the " gentleman" very kindly offered to put it in his purse for him. The farmer unwittingly handed over his purse, into which he had no doubt his generous friend would place the sovereign safe. The " gentleman" then returned the purse, and saw it safely put into his unfortunate dupe's pocket. After a little more talk, they parted, and on the farmer examining the contents of his purse, he found that the notes had been replaced by a piece of an old newspaper ! The chagrined old gen tleman then gave information to the police authorities in Bath, who, from the description, knew something of the sharper. A policeman accordingly accompanied the farmer's son, on the same night, to Mr. Knott's, the Freemason's Tavern, in Abbey-street, where inquiries were made if there were any lodgers in the house ; and on answer that a man of the description given was at that time in bed, the young farmer and the policeman went up stairs into his room, where Mr. Day identified the sleeping swindler as the man whom he had seen talking to his father. The policeman then transferred the astonished "gentleman" from a bed of down in the tavern to a bed of boards in the station-house. On his clothes being searched, two 5/. notes were found therein, one of which was identified by Mr. Day. He was next morning escorted to Mr. Pike's academy, in Grove street, where, from a hint thrown out by Mr. Hall, who had had a previous acquaintance with the " gentleman," his clothes were dissected, when in the collar of his coat were found a quantity of flash notes. He gave his name Henry Edwards. The " gentleman," whose uncle died and left him the estate, has not yet been apprehended ' • nor has the lady at Shepton Mallet be e n h ear d o f. When will people be more wise than to entrust their purses in other persons' hands 7—Bath Chronicle. THE MARK E TS-YESTERDAY. CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of Grain this week have been moderate.
