CLERK EN W ELL.

Mr. J. W. Beeves, of N 07130, iihitscrossetreet, fit,
Lakes, a brimmed pairoteolterjwas sainenoned Mrs. Ace
Collies, of No. 1, Boundary-street, 9kotudi ah, to show
mom why be did unlawfully refuse to deliver to her a gold
gnarl elmMrsawned with him, she having tendered std paid
the pried sad interest due thereat, together with the
or the same.
atrarostee time past • great number of people have been
obtaiaisag a livelihood by selling chains manufactured
Birmingham as gold whores, they are of very
wrier mend, although thickly coated with gold limb.
I. sues owes, to snake the fraud move complete, the
swivels are of gold. and are Hall-marked, sod it his
bees known that the first SO or 30 links on either aide of
the swivel are gold, whilst the remainder are of brass so
thickly mated as to eland • slight test. All the chains are
besatfinfir finished, and are calculated to deceive even
the heat judges. In this saes
Ifis. Collins stated that about four mottle ago one of
her foes died, and jest previous to his death be had
pawned with the defendant a gold chain for 11. 10s. Not
wishing the chain to go out of the family she gave the
Whet to another of her soca, and be • fortnight since
redeemed the chain, and when he got it home be did not
like it, for instead of its being • gold one it was nothing
bat brew. He took the chain to a watchmaker's, who
told him that, with the exuptioo of the swivel, the chain
was not worth thirty farthings. He then west back to the
shop, sad agile offered the chain in pledge, but the
assietant refused to have aaything 'to do with it, saying it
wee worthless, and se she was certain that her deceued
eon's awe was gold,whilst the one she received from the
defendant was braes, she bad taken the present proceedings,
The claim wee this headed to the magistrate. With the
exespikm of the swivel, all of it had the appearance of
brass.

—The defendant, in reply to the charge, said that the chain
produced wig the one that had been pawned with himt It
wee a chain that had been got up for the of deceiv-
ing the trade, and his saistant had made a mistake in taking
it in. He did not wish the poor woman to lose all her
mousy, and therefore he would give her • sovereign,
although it was no fault of his.
The magistrate said he °machined the offer a proper one,
sad it bang accepted the rem termiusted.
