expenses of poundage—ln reply to His Honor,
plaintiff said he did not know who sold the donkeys.
He, however, wrote to defendant, and threatened
him that if he did not pay the money he should put
him in Ootert.—Mr. Howard said the donkeys were
mid by the hayward of the parish, to defray the
exposees of their keep. They were in the pound
more than • week. —Defendant was then sworn.
He said he was a bricklayer's labourer, and had
never owned any donkeys in his life. He bad no

told him be could take the donkeys out of the pound,
but only gave him a verbal order.—His Honor said

was to pay plaintiff when be received them.—
Defendant said he could not bare obtained tlis
donkeys of his own accord.—His Honor said be had
no doubt but if the hayward had had his fees be

favour. He asked where Sinallcombs was. —Plaintiff
replied that he believed he had got into trouble, and
bad left the town.— He Honor remarked that deka.
dint admitted buying the donkeys but nothing more.
The question was whether anything more was pro-

venation. He should adjourn the case in Order for
Smallcombe to be present.
