sinew.

Joseph Nunn, son of the defendant, said ha had been to
the plaintiff with the note fur 6L, and asked fur payment.
Plaintiff said it was not convenient for him to pay it, and
promised to see the defendant about it. Ile never denied
his liability. Defendant had paid the bill to Mr. Nichols,
• tailer,and Nichols onee went with witness to demand pay-
ment. Never could get the money.
George Nunn, the defendant, said he bad carried en the
business of • coachusaker in Westminster-road for many
yean, and had amassed • considerable sum there. Would
swear that there had been any improper conduct of
any kind between Mrs. Regan and himself. (Witness then
corroborated Mrs. Regan's statements as to the eoffee
houses.) The rent of the Hope was punctually paid. Had
at one time been there very ellen, because some extensive
repairs were going on under witness's own super-
intendence. Afterwards railed from time to time.
Had once changed cheques with the plaintiff, but
that had nothing whatever to do with the taking of the
Hope. Nut • word was said upon that subject.
Witness wanted • hundred pounds, and slid not want
to draw upon his banker. Hua paid his own money, but
Mr. Clarks 's cheque was dishonoured. The two bills made
out in the name of Mrs. Nunn were shown to witness, and
witness went to plaintiff and remonstrated with him upon
taking such a liberty. Plaintiff replied, " It's of no conse-
quence; we'll alter it." Had never directed him to make ,
out his accounts to Mrs. Regan, or promised to pay accounts
made out in the MUM of Mrs. Regan. Would swear that
he (witness) had never seen any account in the plaintiff's
hooks whatever; nor had witness ever met Norton at
Clarke's counting-house. Never said he wished any matter
to be kept secret. Witness's family were perfectly cogni-
sant of his affairs with Mrs. Regan. Mrs. Regan had
always paid her rent for the Victoria, hut as she made no
profit for herself, and as she sail she wished she was a ser-
vant rather than the mistress, witness agreed to take it off
her hands. Miss Regan brought witness the promissory
note, and witness paid her the:money. Had never mild that
he had not the money, but that if the plaintiff would
lend him his name ho would get the money of his (wit-
ness's) tailor. Had no need. Told plaiutiff that be had
advanced the money to Miss Regan upon his note, upon
which plaintiff replied, " It's all right, and I hope the poor
girl will succeed." There seemed to be a particular inti•
macy existing between Clarke end the Regatta. Was
obliged to use warm baths very frequently on account of a
cutaneous complaint.
Cress-examined—Regan was now • general commission
agent, and had frequently called on the plaintiff. Various
sums of money had been paid him by witness's wilt' and
POP—perhaps lac • week. Regan hod estimated the Hope
as worth front 1061. to 1501., and witness had given him 351.
for it, with the understanding that he was to have lOs. a
week until the 1601. was paid, provided that it turned out •
protiusble speculation. It had done so, and witness had
caused him to be paid 10s. • week. Witness was generally
at the Westminster-bridge-road, because his property there
required his presence.
By the Court—Witness hsd written out the promiewiry
note on the representation of Miss Regan that Mr. Clarke
would sign it if witness would advance her the money. She
took it away, brought it back signed, and witness gave her
the six pounds.
Mr. Chambers replied, and the learned baron having
summed up with great minuteness,
The jury found a verdict fur the defendant.

THE POLICE COURTS
BOW-STREET.

!Teary Mirages, who hasiceiT;emonded from Monday,
the 22nd of December, on a charge of •tabbing Mr. James
1./liner, law stationer, with a dirk, on the morning of Sun-
day, December 21st, in Ship-yard, Strand, was brought up
for filial examination.

Mr. Quiher (whose hand was still bound up and in a
sling), on entering the witness-bon, informed the magi-
strate that, u he was now nearly restored to health, and as
the prisoner had expressed his regret and contrition at
allowing his feelings to have so overcome him in what was
nothing more than • drunken spree, he hoped the magi.
stride would deal summarily with the case, and not send
the prisoner for trial.
Mr Lewis, of Ely-place, urged the magistrate to adopt
the suggestion of the prosecutor, and stated that everything
had been done to make atonement fur the misconduct of
the prisoner.
Mr. Hall said the affair was very discreditable to all par-
ties; but. Iron the circumstance of all being the worse fur
liquor at the time of the offence being committed, added to
the unwillingness of the prosecutor to continue the pro-
ceedings, there would be perhaps souse dittieulty in securing
a conviction. haler all the circumstances, therefore, he
considered he had better dispose of it summarily, and, after
cautioning the primmer not to carry such weapons in future
and also to learn to govern his temper, he ordered him to pay
a tin« of five pounds, or two mouths' imprisonment.
The fine was accordingly paid.

It was proved by one of the officers of the society, that
the prisoner's horse had a large wound on its shoulder,
against which the collar pressed and rubbed, and the pour
animal was in great agony—blood and matter came from
the sore. The defendant did not deny the charge.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said such unfeeling cruelty was shocking,
