The Judge summed up, pwnnting out that if the
three men were together, each of them was responsible
for the act committed. Men in meoeimion would

on singly they would not attempt. He did not like the
practice of eevetedropping by toliormi n ; bur the f ,ct
of some conversation having taken place was oorrob
&tea by the prisoners, showed that it had not been
invented by the policemen, and it was not becanse they
did not like certain things that they should refuse to
admit them. He also went thriugh the evidetice at
some length, remarking that the fact of Davis not
having quitted the company of persons who, he knew,
had committed an offence, was some evidenee against
him.
After tame consultation, the jury could not agree,
and they were removed in charge of a bailiff.
After about quarter of an hour's absence, the jar,
returned into court, with a verdict of "Not Guilty."

His I ordship said that Davis had been in very bad
company, and had • very lucky eseape. Whet wiie
stated by Fuller was no excuse for the off nee. One
could andel:4.nd the motto of • noblemen, whose
ancestors lived at a remote distance of time, being,

act. It was done with a deliberate deaitn, and merited
a severe punishment. With regard to Stook he was a
much yourier man, than Fuller. and therefore the
same amount of punishment ought not to be pulsed
won him. It was • wiry bad off .nce, and ought to be
visited with fitting punishment. Fuller was sentenced
to penal servitude for 10 years, and Stock to penal
servitude for 6 year,.
Stook : Thank you, my lord. I hope you will sit

under the settletnen•. That was not a very Judicious proceeding
but he dal not blame the defendant a though he helieved he wig

Accorlingly a letter was written to the defendant on the 20th

George Powell, 29, blackami•h, was indicted for
stealing two plough chains, the property .if
Welch, at Thorneonite., on December 9th, 1869. —Mr.

Welch, farmer. of Thonmembe, said on the
niaht of December 9th he missed a pair of plough
chains from hi, farm, and gave inforrnatiou to the
pollee. He identified the chains by their being like •
fellow pair which he possessed.
Croats-examined : This was an ordinary pattern of
chain. He could not exactly tell when he saw them
haat.
James Down. Mr. Welch'. c rter, identified the
chains, whinti he mi•sed in December. lie fait saw
them on the 3nl. and missed them on the 9h.
John G.leas hl-ck-mi,h •t fl -rncenthe, said be made
a ()dr of cheins for Mr. Welch bet rummer, and
identtfied those pr.xliteed, the crooks having been maar
by himself and an apprentice.
Crces•examined : Had made some hundreds of crooks
in his time.
P.c. .1. . said from information received, he

found the chains ittoduced, which he took, as they

His Lordship said that lithe property spoken of was
ot • •.ilu .ble description Me Justice Parkes's judgment
would not apply, nor would it •pelv if the priannor had
given a lying account as to how he became possessed of
the property.
Mr. Collins in his whitest to the jury, urged that the
jeisoner, at the Bridport police court, wat at one end
of the court, and the eluting at the othe-, thetefore hi.
Raying that he had made them was not • lying account.
The policemen WWI re-called, and said that three
chains ...re found in the prisoner's oboe, and one wag
left behind, as it did not answer the description.
Mr. Collins urged that prisoner, not having egarcined
the chains. it was not proved that h- h•ti give• a
lying account of how he hemline possessed if them.
At this pilot the Gr.nd Jury came in with the
remainder of the bilk. They were enntratuleted by the
Judge, thanked for their sertri•es, and dismissed.
The Judge having laid the c.a. before the jery. they
after cooaulting together, found him "guilty of being
In possession of stolen property, and giving • Glee
account of it."
In answer to the Judge Mr. Callas said the prieoner
had had four months already on the sentence of the
Lord Chief Baron, for breaking into a smith's shop,
and when the term expired on the 4•13 July, the pri•
goner was port cod open by the policeman.
The Judge asked why the priaoner was not tried for
the offense on the occasion.
Tho poltoeman said that when prisoner was committed
the chain, had not been found.
Th.. Judge said he was considerably impressed by
what had been said ; but be thought the two nffences
should be t.ken notice of. He thought the reoeiver
was worse than the thi-f, because be was surrounded
by a number of satellites, committing deptedations,
and dismeing of the produce with the receiver. How-
ever, the law did not persecute any one, and he orin.
sidetei the juntice of the case would be met by giving
pricier • sentence whiah woul I he equal to about
six months for the two.—Six weeks' hard labour.

Cross-examined: Mr. Denzllcie told Mr. Lozgin to go overand
use his own discretion, and dwellers were satisfactory he need

Thowas Hoare, the son of the manager of the factory at

of the kind he would take Ilansford away, and go time not

thing should betaken away. It was outlaw°. He di 1 ,ell him
«mulching about a lathe—that it belonged to Mr. Macey, and
he wiwed to return it. He said he'd ietter not so as Mr.
Denzi we would perhaps hear of It. Ile was with the defendant
use whole of the time he was there. He did not look at one
hook of his father's or ask to; nor did he ask hint if his father
was about to declare himself a bankrupt, nor to look over the
premises. Nothing was said by him about it,
Crues-examioed : At that time the busincoi WWI going on in
the ordinary way, and no chattel. had been rem Yea to his
knowledge. There hid been some negotiation with aMr
Verson to go int,, partnership, but he could not say whether
op till that time soy denlil had been given to Mr. Vernon
de did not say to Mr. Leggin that nothing had ben moved,
and that molting would, but he a iii he had no knowledge of
mythinir haviod been removed, and had given no order for the
removal of anything, nor w uld he. Ile also t.LI hint that no
one wag 'eking any proceedings against hi. father. He did not
remember if he told Mr. Lodgin that the Friday following was
fixed for his father and Mr. Vernon and Mr. Denziioe to meet
at his offices.
A statement was here handed in by the learned counsel, signed
by the witness, in which lie bad said that be had told Mr.
Loggin this, but he mid although he signed It, it was not true.
: The" what did you sign it for t -A. : I shined the
fir° pert which was true, hut not the second part.--Q:
But you read it over—A: The first part.—ft: Will you swear
you did not real the second part —A : I read it over, all
what I told Mr. L.:actin was that I had not heard anything
about a meeting ; he said it was so and I said I could not
recollect lt.-4: How cam', you to sign If it was incorrect.—
A: I said at toe time It was not.—Q: Now, sir, did you not
alike out the very part In it that you considered incorrect.
Take the paper your ban i and see ; it won't bite you.
. Witisets refused to take it, and threep the paper d
by won't you take 11.—A: I ton% choose to.—Q: You
signed : Yee, upon the consideration that the first part
was right but the second was not.
Witness was then reexamined as to the conversation shout
Vernon. Hi. father asked Denziloe if he would allow him to
take Vernon as a partner, *nil he said he wuul I not, him, or
any one else. That was the reason the partnership was given
taii. He siss then questioned as to the statement which mr„
loggin had taken down from him and he °good. He said when
he last saw the document It had no erasion+ in it at all
When he said that none of the goods hail been removed to Ida
knowledge, that was true.
Mr. Cole then proceeded to ask the witness about • second
letter he hat written to Mr. Locitin, but Mr. Lopez said they
hail not got It. Hu was quite astoilish,d.

A number of other letters which did not however m laarad y

remarking that it wee "dry work." And now Mr

Under thin hill of sale £l,ooo had hero *toured which

£i,273 out of pocket. It was oot his e'en money, It was truat
money. and he would have to pay it himself utilewthey found a
verdict for the plaintiff. It might be said that It was very hard
on Mr. ',igen, but on the other hand WAS it not a much
greater hardship on Mr. Denziloe that he ehould have to hear the
1.e.• occ usioned by the error of judgment and the ignonioce of
the law which Mr. Loggin had ehown. After a few more
remark. Mr. Lopez called the following 'situ/ads :
Mr. It nz:loe said he was a iv.) elision and surgeon at
Bridport. In the year 1865 he and his father were
•i•pointe.l trustees of hia towhees memage settlement,
which am 'anted to about 1:5 000. £l,OOO of the sum
was advance hin February, 1866. to Mr. Hoare, whosage

of twine and yarn at Barton Bradstock. In November
1867 • farther advano-ment was made of I:600 and a
bill of sale Wan drawn t.p for !ham by Mr. Loggin, under
thay were eating, to score the wool.,
1:1.600. (Copy of the bill of sale handed in.) In the bill
was • complete schedule of the property of the bankrupt.
Hoare paid discount on the bill for about two sears.
On the 23rd June 1869 he and his father and the defend-
ant had • meeting, and it was decided that in the
future he (the witness) was to have the aile management
of the trust,but his father attended to it when his praetor'
prevented hie doing so. Shortly alter that he told the

Mr. Cole: Will you swear It?
A. No.
The Judge: Do you know whether the court has made an

At this juncture it wax proved that Mr. Day received the
section from Mr. Detiziloe, nod that Mr. Dertailoe had it from
Mr. Litutlo'a own halms.
Mr. Cole said : I aubmit there in no evidence of neglect on
the part of defendant.
The Judge stud bethought that was for the Jury to decide.
