soner. The primer when he called was gave me a card
with the following : " Richards and On, carpenters and
builders, 182, High Holborn, London. Pumerels performed.
Estimates gives Ssegemiwalrepairs." I aindlailbe ma Ow
person who wanted lead Pb." Yee," aniseed see if the
references given to me by Mr. Jones INTO setisfeetery. I
said they were, and that we would supply him with lead,
and we then arranged that he should pay for it in cash on
the Monday following the fourteen days after its delivery.
The prisoner said he would seed for the lead, and on the
same day, or the day alter, I received the order produced
from a carman:
182, High Holborn.—Please to deliver to my carman,
three sheets of 41b. lead, 4 sheets of 61b. ditto. I shall re-
quire about two tons of pipe, bat that I will send another
order for, at the price quoted in your letter of yesterday. I
will eldrovour to call upon you during the day.—February

19 1832."
I caused the lead mentioned in the order to be delivered
to the prisoner. In the conversation which I had with the
prisoner, I said to him, " I understand that you have seve-
ral jobs which require lead I" He said, "Oh yes, 1 have."
Ile told me that he was the Mr. Richards mentioned in
the card. I agreed to wait upon him for the amount on
the first Monday after the expiration of the 14 days. Thu
first quantity of lead was due for on the Bth of March, and
I accordingly went to 182, High Holborn, but did not see
Ste primmer. He called upon me next day, and said that
limo maiirstood from his man that he was to have three
fend/ medic I told him that he could net have under-
of the kind, as he had had our letter of
the following is a copy "g :at Aril be glad to supply you with sheet and pipe
had at 171. 174. 6d. per ton, deliverable at our wharf here,
kes 2; per cent. discount for cash, in 14 days from delivery.
--Cookson and SON, ANTHONY Homen,Agent."
The prisoner took our letter out of his pocket, and having
read it, said there must be some mistake. He then said it
would not make much, but it would make a little difference
to him, but he would call nest day and pay the money due.
I never saw him since until he was taken into custody. I
never received any payment or bill of exchange.
It was proved by several tradesmen that the prisoner
called upon them immediately after he received the lead
from Mr. Holme and sold sheet lead to them of the deserip-
*a of that which be had received, at prices greatly infe-
eism to those charged by the principal witness for the prea-
ssign.
The Aldermen ref used to take bail, and committed
IM phew for trial.

Mr. Bolden submitted that the defendant might be sent
to a union, and not to a lunatic asylum.
Mr. Henry said that the act of parliament specified a
lunatic asylum, whore, as in this case, the medical exami-
' ern were of opinion that the prisoner was not of sound
find. If any relations or friends would enter
ball for him, which ho was incompetent to do for
Nana', in two sureties of 601. each, he would give him
up is their care, otherwise he should send him to a lunatic
mitemi. As Mr. Baxter did not think the prisoner was in-
seam, perhaps he would be one of the sureties ?
Mr. Baster had no oblation.
The prisoner's solicitor was not prepared to give the two
sureties required, and
Mr. Henry ordered the prisoner to be remanded, and
the warrant fur sending him to a lunatic asylum to be made
out.

Owing to the death of the man Ryan, which toa. place
