THE QUINN V. DOLAN AND 100111.6.—N1C3 POTNT.
At the Birmingham Quarter Session Rogers was indicted
for stealing from his master, a person named Turner,
a quantity of brass cuttings, and Dolan was indicted for
receiving the same knowing them to have been stolen.
Rogue Er pleaded guilty, and Dolan
that having Turner pleadeddiscovered
property in the pocket of Rogers, and accordingly he
seat for a policeman who took possession of the stoles
peas, and also took Rogers into custody. On their we,'
ta:the station-home, accompanied by Turner, it struck the
that they might perhaps discover who was the receiver, sad
she policeman returned the stolen articles to Rogers, mai 1
Turner then desired him to take them to the person to
whom he had sold other goods sad dispose of them. Rogan
look the goods to Dolan's shop, sold them and brought '
bilk the money to Turner. It was contendea that this wail
a felonious receiving of stolen goods by Dolan, nail the 1
ipestion was reserved for the opinion of this court.
Mr. O'Brien appeared for the prisoner, and Mr. Bees*l
imported the conviction. 1
The court were of opinion the conviction was wrens, L
Mal weld not be supported. The policeman was the rem-
ain of the goods for the owner Turner, and they were sold
by bib direction and authority, and not that of the police-
men's, therefore the conviction mast be reversed, as
Dolan had not within the statute been a receiver of stolen

Conviction reversed auordingly.
TEI 11111 N O. TIW.--BWIARTNG
Lord Campbell said he was gratified for the honour and
credit or the bar to find that no gentleman had come for-
ward to support this case—a case by far the most frivolous
that ever had slue the oonstitutien of this court appeared
before them. The prisoner wee convicted at the Carmar-
then Qauter Sessions, and an objection was made that this
and all other cues tried before the learned Recorder were
null and void, on the ground that the witnesses were ille-
gally and improperly sworn, the oath not having been ad-
ministered by the proper officer of the court, the clerk of
the peace. The crier, as the officer and agent of the court,
bad rightfully sworn the witnesses. The objection was
wholly unfounded, frivolous, and discreditable; and this
case ought to have come before this court.
Conviction affirmed.

Lord Campbell said the further arguments in this use
would be resumed the first Saturday after term, before all
the judges. The Quell v. Sargon would also stand over.

Mr. Haddon, • brewer, and Mr. Penny, an earthenware
'dealer, both residing at Chatham.
The complaint of Mr. Sudden was fraud. He had sup-
plied beer and advanced the insolvent 151.,which be wanted,
he said, to buy a beer engine and some fittings.
Mr. Penny was • creditor to 61. 6.. He had supplied 1
goods. The insolvent told him he got a good thing in the

to have • " house-warming and • spread." After tie
warming he did not get the money as be wee promised.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips told him that if be proved a
ease against the insolvent be could not detain him, u Ms
debt was under 201.
Mr. Penny said he was not aware that such was the law.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips enured him that such wee
the set of parliament.
The complaint of Mr. Sudden was iavestigated, and a
Mae of hard swearing took place.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips said he was accustomed te
such Seines. It appeared that the insolvent spent the MIL
he got of Mr. Budden in his business; but not in buying*

The alleged that Captain Vernon, the membsel
for Chatham, owed him 71. 10s., and he gave Mr. Budd* 1
an authority to receive the money, and he supposed he had
been paid.
Mr. Sadden said he had applied for the money and got
se answer.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips said there was no entry in the
schedule about Captain Vernon owing 71. 10s. That gen-1
*man must be inserted, and perhaps he would like to give
tome esplanation.
The insolvent, on hearing that his we was to be ad- I
jumped, made an appeal to the court on account of his
wife, who was subject to insanity.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips said these appeals were dis-
tressing to him, but he mast du his duty, and the Can

NI Mr. Clark for a number of years, and it was complained
*at he had committed some very great dilapidation..

than when he took it.

vent had not described himself as dealing in cigars.
The court held the omission to be fatal, and the insolvent
