and it wan. question how many successive 14TIODI re.
retiring those watches ware to be charged with .guilty
knowledge that they were stole°. He sobreiffed that
scaly oste person could be •i charged. The person re-
wiring them from the alleged thief was Myers, and if be
were defending him he should not have • word to my.
If he had received a pert of the stolen watches., and some
oos 'leo the remaining portion, than both would be liable;
bat in this ease Myers bad received the whole—The
Mayor inquired whether a party petrabasiag roods of
the agent of another would not be liable—Mr. Hill said
he disputed his being an 'geol. Denials purchased
the watches of Myers,. who sold them for himself.
In • ease of conspiracy all might be charged,
but he submitted that there was nothing of the kind
in this transaction.—Mr. Hill instanced • cam where •
ooavictioo bad been quashed against the husband on
amount of this wife having received goods unknown to
him, although be afterwards adopted them. He con.
tended that there was nothing to show • guilty
knowledge, and that on • point of law he Gould not be
charged with it.—Tbe Bence onisalted for some time,
and Us* Mayor said the magistrates had oonsidered the
whole circumstances of the ases, and although Daniels
had acted with • groat weal of Gullies in buying the
watches they were of opinion that be had no guilty
knowledge of the traassollos, sod therefor* the charge
must be dismissed arrest Lies—Myers, in his defence
denied having purchased the watches. He was employed
to sell the goods by Dowling, and be did not know that t
they were stelae. He offered them publicly for sale at
pawnshops and jewellers at Newbury, sad he bad told
the often everything. He had lived at Newbury 29
years, and had never before been charged with any
ariuse.—lsrael Daniels, on being disc from custody,
was called into the witness-boo. On being sworn, be
said, when Myers offered him the watches he declined
to purchase them, raying be did not know anything

I will bring von the money back, and the profit I get
upon them." He gave Myers EV for them, end promised

Auricle° DANAGIR.--Charlas Kerney was summoned
by Mr. Redden, a farmer, living at Whitsbury, for
damaging • quantity of turnips on the 24th ult.— Mr.
Whatumn, who appeared for the complainant, said, in
order to get the taste of the owe before the Bench, he
would narrate briefly the circumstances under which
this charge was made. The defendant Barney was
formerly in the employ of Sir. Redden, and was dl
missed from his service for steeling wood. FilbOVl that
time he had taken every opportunity of walking across
the complainant's fields, anal had actually set tap •
right to go there. The intention of this compliant
was to prevent his repeating the offence. Some
time ago he (Mr. ) appeared before
the Beech for one of Kr. Ruddell's men, whom the de-
fendant bad summoned for potting him off the ems-
plsicaat's band. Tbe defendant than gave hie seldom*,
but the Bench dismissed the case At his advice Barney
was served with a formal notice not to trespass any
longer upon his property, but that be bad not taken
any notice of. Sines 1831, the defendant admitted on
the last occasion, he had spent the greater part of his
life in prison, and there was no doubt that be was • no-
torious bad ohs/actor. He, therefore, must press for
the full penalty of the law, in order to show the defen-
dant that he could not act ash, had done, and to pro-
tect Mr. Redden from further aneontoos. The evidence
went to show that the defendant had frequently crowd
this field, but they could not 'weer that he had Lbw-
lutely damaged any of the turnips. The witness stated
that he had never known • path acme that Veld, and
had been acquainted with the plaae for 27 years.
—The defendant said ha had used that path for 20
years before Mr. Raldell entered upon the farm, and be
claimed the right to go there.—Lord Folkestone said as
the witnesses wen nimble to swear to any damage the
matter was taken out of their hands—Mr. Whatman
said he should have a summons in another form.—Lord
Folkestone said as it at present stood it was • case for
I the County Court. —Cass dionimed.
