with having threatened to do for Timothy in the 11th
of May, and placing himself on the premise* of the
aforesaid Timothy and annoying him. refusing to
leave when so desired ; and Tobit the father, for
having threatened Timothy with a crooked sword on
the llth of May.—The magistrates had barely seated
themselves when Mr. Tobit Gear bounced into the
hall, startling the court with an uneuphonious
fragment of • song, uttered at the top of his voice.
At • signal from the son Matthew, who in a
sterions manner enjoi• ed silence on the part of his
musical p rent Tobit bowed his head submissively,
and the remainder of the son! was unfortunaoely lost
to the court and the world. As Mr. Nautee, represent-
ing the complainant. was about to own his case, the
irrepressible obit loudly declared that "the Lord
was his Shepherd, and God was his Judge that he
no. er wished to hurt a ma ." Silence being again
restore . ',antes said his client bore a character
of respectability, and had cones into contact with
defendants by rewem of a litigation affair at
Axminster, touching the relation of the Gears with
the Bridgewater Society. The decision of the Judge

TAB., being platted in the dock to answer for his
conduct, was, evidently by his gestures, on the
th,esho d of another ditty, but an admonition
prevented him, and he contented himself with saluting
the Pench and the clerk in silence.—Phibben swore
that Tobit had used threats to him on the 28th ult.,
for meeting him at the fo t of Lymsehill. He
threatened him, saying he wished he had a "crooked"
sword.—Defendant (abruptly) : " Yea ; and I have a

The defendant admits the borrowing, but contend.
that at the time the money was lent, the husband of

under the Married W upan's Property Act, ifffo,

cited, and was goveraed by the same principle, viz.—
that where the husband stands stort from the business
