IN RN CNA/SLIS NORTILL.
This insolvent, a market Eardener, in the Versall-road,
Brixton, was opposed by Mr. Macrae, on behalf of Mr.
Francis, treasurer to Mr. Batty, the proprietorpo of Astleyamed
's
Amphitheatre. Mr. Reed appeared for a rno n
Chadwick, and Mr. Seafood supported.
The complaint was, that the insolvent retained possession
of a house belonging to the opposing creditor. It appeared
that the Insolvent had not paid any rent for the last seven
yeas, and denied the title of the opposing creditor to the
property. A considerable body of evidence, both oral and
documentary, was adduced.
Mr. Commissioner Law eventually decided that Mr.
Francis was entitled to possession, and ordered the insolvent
to give op the house by Saturday, or if that was not done,
the other party preferring a claim, for whom Mr. geed
appeared, must prove their superior title.

ney Marshes to graze. There were two indictments against
the prisoners, each being in respect of one cow ; and the
evidence showed that the boy Cope one day very deliber-
ately drove a cow from the marshes to a dairy in Church-
lane, Whitechapel, where bp requested permission to leave
it for a short time, statingiliat his father would bring a
butcher to buy it. The permission solicited was given, his
father being known to the keeper of the dairy as connected
with cattle dealings, and subsequently the pnsoner Bassett,
who carries on the business of a butcher, purchased that
and another cow, which the boy stole in a similar manner.
There was nothing in the evidence to show that at the time
he knew, or had reason to suspect, that the animals bad
been dishonestly come by.
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty within.

a number of witnesses being in attendance to give Nod

An acquittal wog taken on the second indictment, and

be given up to the prosecutors.
