Mr. Or morel to ea* absolute n rale calling upon Mr.
Richard :till, so attorney at thnuingbam. W show ewe
why he sh..uld not be struck off the rolls of the court fur
misconduct.

Muter Unthank reed kits report upon the case, from
which it appeared that Mr. Sill was entrusted by his client,
the plaintiff in an action against certain mioe owners, with
a sum of NSW., which was to be paid into court previous to
obtainiog an order for the inspection of a mine. Afterwards
the defendants consented to allow the inspection without the
pits meat of the money, soil Mr. Sill paid the 50Uf. into his
bankers at Birmingham on the :kith of November, lie*, his
account at the time, exclusive of that sum, being over.
drawn to the extent of 199 r. re. 4d. In lucid Mr.
Sill got into pecuniary difficulties. and was unable to
return the 500/., which his client, therefore. WEL
The Master said he had arrived at the conclusion that Mr.
Mill had no improper or dishonest motive io paying the
mosey into his bankers, bat it war obviously wrong to
have done eo. especially as his account was overdrawn. He
also reported that his omitting ho inform his client that the
501 W. had sot been paid into court could only be accounted
for by his inability lay the mousy.
Mr. Bill did not appear caber in person or by counsel.
Mr. Gray having addressed the court in support of the
rule,
The Lord Chief Justice said—There can be no doubt that
this is a very serious case. Mr. Sill receives from his client
:VOL, which ie to be peril into court owls: a judges order.
In consequence of some delay in enforcing the order,
owing to a rule pending is this court, the mosey
is not immediately wanted. It was the bounden duty
of the attorney under these circumstances to bays
deposited the money where it would have been per-
fectly safe mail it was seceinary to pay it into wart ; and
if it were not wanted for that he ought to harem
toned it to his client. Instead of that, however, be pays

it has been brought to our knowledge that this is not the

The rule was therefore made absolute.

He had latterly had much maws to °espials of the eou.

behaviour had been such that he felt bound to come to
Logsdon and consult his solicitor. The result of the in-
quiries which were then set on foot had been the discovery
of her intrigues with the two co-respondenta. Bowls was
a good. clerk, and was described as a very fine handsome
man. The respondent took lodgings for him in Rasura*,
paid his rent, and found him in victuals till her huaband
took her away to Jersey ; after which he (Bowles) succeeded
in victimising his landlady for several soothe. Patties
was • riding master in the same town ; and besides *vicious
of visits at the house under circumstances of anat sus-
picion, it appeared that she had written to him juet before
she left for Jersey, stating that she wee with child by him,
but promising that no one should know. This letter
was opened by Pattison's daughter and given by her to the
mititiooer's son. The young man did sot communicate it
to his father, however, till he found that be had determised
to sue for • divorce. One of the most painful features in
the case was the production of Miss Patties and young

for an order of discharge under the 160th section at the

the bankrupt as arising under the 159th section of the now

beta in consequence were off, he wished to know how he
was to get the money (a) back, as the person refused to
give it np.
Mr. Tyrwhitt told the applicant that it was of no are for
him to come to Lim to ask such a question, and the appli-
cant withdrew.

Henry 1014.41 and Thomas Jalnson, alias Welton, were
brought up for further examination, charged with commit-
ting an immense number of robberies.
The court was Will crowded with tradesmen who had
been robbed. Many of them were new came. In addition to
the cases in the metropolis, amounting already to nearly
200, all of which there is little doubt were committed by the
gang with which the prisoners were connected. police•aergeant
Cole, who has the management of the evidence, has ob-
tained information which leaves no doubt that the prisoners
and their confederates have visited the leading provincial
towns, and have been equally successful there. The police
sergeant traced the prisoners to Nottingham, Birmingham,
Southampton, and Dartford, where they had committed
robberies of cash boxes and cash varying in amount from
151._t0 401. _ . _

—Mr. Wiiirand, solicitor to the Association for the Roseau-
lion of Elwiodlers, Basioghall-street, appeared for the prose-
cution ; and Mr. Best for the prisooen.
Mr. Warned said there were many cases partially com-
pleted, which would be brought s the prisooers as

16. Tyrwhitt aid be thought the eases which were corn-
*to would be enfßcient to immure conviction. Where
there were • peat many cases it was usual to bring two or
throe under the soda of the jury, reserving the rest should
it be witssary to being them forward.
The fellpelog ewe was then gone into.

road, examined—lel April lest, on the 22nd, the pre
Johnson came into my shop, and ordered some cough me&

sovereign to pay for it. I gave him the change, and the
prisoner maw where I got the change from. I took the
change from the eash-box, which was in tie desk. In
about Ave minutes the prisoner Lucas drove up is • dog-
cart, apparently with a high spirited horse. The primmer
pulled up just beyond my shop, and beckoned me out. I
west out, aid the prisoner ordered some sarsoparilla to be

the dog-art that my back was towards the shop.

then went into my shop. I immediately missed my cash-
boa, which contained W. in money, a gold ring, and other
I articles. lam quite certain the prisoners an the two men

could not agree to this. The regular
course was to seed the cases to Clerkenwell, aod there was
also a kind of (moral ceder from the Secretary of State
that the ordinary ems% miles, special reasons fur the coo.
4'27 existed, should not be departed from.
Mr. Best applied to bare the gold watches and chains
found *a the prisoners restored to them.
Tyrwhitt wished Int to know whether there was
an reams why this applicatioo should Ls refined?
t Ode said the prisoners had committed
marrow on jewellers, and it was set impossible
that the watches sad chains might turn out to be the pro-
duce at robberies.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said nader the circumstasees the best way
would be to leave the property in the heads of the police
until the prisoners were tried.
The primers, whe reserved their defence, were then fully
committed os three charges.
Frederick Syles, a young man in the employ of Mr.
Browning, No. 34, Duke-etrest, 81. James's, was charged
with having robbed his employer at various times of a con-
siderable amount in money.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for the lion, and Mr. Hare for the prisoner.
It appeared thatthe prosecutor had missed mosey at
various times amounting to. 701. Having his suspicions, he
communicated with the pollee, and, with their cognisance,
be marked some gold, and *lied the marked money in I
desk in his bedroom. Home of the marked money wee
missed. Polies-constable Butcher, C 137, was milled in,
and on searchiog the prisoner one of the marked sovereigns
was found in his pocket. On searching the box of the pri-
soner a savings bask book, with 301. recently deposited,
was discovered. In explanation of a sum of 91. which had
been previously missed, the pillows said be gave 51. and his
watch for another watch ; he paid his tailor V. 10s, and
spent the rest.
After some further evidence,
Mr. Tyrwhitt. on application, ordered Si. of the money
to be given to the primmer for his defence, and then com-
mitted him for trial.

Joseph Brewer, ebig powerful fellow, described es a
labourer, was charged with seriously catting the head of
Henry Boowick with a drinking glass.
Complainant said—l was at the Paketthem, Knights-

defendant, who was there, took up a glass of ale of ours and
drank it. I 'eked him to give me the glass batik, when he
boasted he was the best man in front of that bar, and,
leaning towards me, broke the glass on my bead.
Mr. Paynter—l)id he throw it at you, or @tribe you with it?
Complainant—He held the foot in his band, and struck
me with it, indicting the wound you see.
Mr. Paynter—Had you given him any provocation!
Complainant—Not the least ; I bad said nothing to him.
Defendant— I had been drinking, and he struck me twice.
Somebody *eked me to have the ale._
