the drennutanees of this ease as of the meet aggrav►ted
character. The plaintiff, who was a resuctable horse-
dealer, on the 26th of July last year attended a lair at
Llighton Bossard, in Beekinghamahire, and whilst pur-
suing his uta►l aeons ion be met a person from whom he
height a number of halters for the trilling sum of 3s 6d.
Is slue subsequent part of the same day, however, the
plaintiff wee met by the defendant, Thomas Emoserton,
w►o claimed she halters as his property, and demanded
that they vieuld be given up to him. The plaintiff refused
to do so, alleging that he had bought and paid for them.
Upon this the defendant went in search of the const►ble,
and baring procured the assistance of that functionary, be
charged the plaintiff with felony, and directed the afirer to
take him into custody The constable, in obedience to those
instructions, arrested the plaintiff, and baling handcuffed
coseeyed him throuak the public strut to the
" age," or lockup, sad confined him until newt morning.
Hewes then taken, handcuffed, as a prisoner ail or seven
miles through the country to Woburn, and from thence to
Ashley. On their arrival at the latter place, the plaintiff
was left in charge of the ennstable's sssiatant at a public-
house. The defendant and the constable then went to Mr.
Moore, a magistrate, and in consequence of what transpired
before that gentleman they returned to the public house
and liberated the plaintiff.
William Terrell, the constable, was called, and stated in
SIIIIAIIOIOII that the defendant give the plaintiff into cus-
tody on suspicion of stealing, and not, u the learned counsel
stated, on a charge of felony. He handcuff-d the plaintiff
at his own request. On his oath plaintiff asked Lim to do
so. Handcuffed him to Steyr, his assistant, and took him
to the Cage. Would swear test be locked plaintiff up in
the " cage " at his own request in preference to being hand,
cuffed all night to another person. C 'steeped him newt
day to Woburn and Ashley, but plaintiff did not walk, as
the learned counsel stated ; he had had a comfortable ride
there and back to Leighton in a chaise.
Mr. Lewis addressed the jury in mitigation of damages. He
said that if the defendant had pleaded to this action he would
have had a full answer to it, but as judgment was allowed
to go by default he could not now offer any defence in
juetibc aim% of the act which he had acknowledged to h►ve
committed. However, although be (Mr. Lewis) had only
recrived his instructions a few hours before the commence.
meat of the trial, he was prepared to lay before the jury,
by the evidence of several witnesses, a totally different
version of the affair, and from which they would be en-
abled to come at the truth of the manse. The learned
counsel had called upon them in a "solemn and doleful"
tone to award the plaintiff substantial damages, but when
they heard the I videnee of bit witnesses they would be
satisfied that he was not entitled to more than a half farthing.
Clement Earnerton, the defendant's son, stated that on
the 26:h or July last he was selling halters at Leighton
Buzzard fair. The plaintiff and a men named Beadle, who
were both on horseback, rode up to him ; Beadle said he
would buy the hatters from him, and offered him 3s. 64. for
them. But before he (witness) had time to reply, Beadle
took them off his arm, and threw them to the plaintiff, and
then both gallopped off in different directions without paying
for them. Hie lather met the plaintiff afterwards, and
asked him for the halters, but be refused to give them up,
or to tell where they were. His father then gave him into
custody.
The learned Under-Sheriff having summed up, the jury
found for the plaintiff ; damages 40e.

Mr. Alderman Farebrotber attended on a summon served

the court to relieve elm, as be was Litwin alderman at
Guildhall. The worthy alderman was examined by Mr.
Carden. Ile said he was president of the Distressed Needle-
women's 8 clety. He had no books connected with the
society, and had received no money on account of the same
for six or eight months. When he received money he headed
it over to the insolvent, to be paid into the bankers'. Some
bit a had been seat to hire, and he sent them to Mr. Roper,
who was the hoc. secretary.
Mr. Carden, who is a barrister, and who claims to be a
creditor, put some questions to Mr. Alderman Fare brother,
which the court decided could not he put.
The alderman, however, hoped the ease might net be
copped. He was ready to auswer all questions, so that he
might get rid of such nonsense.
The alderman was further examined on the subject. He
denied that any claims had been made on him on account of
the society. He was merely the president, and Mr. Carden
had been one of the committee and made some floe speeches,
so that he knew all about it.
The insolvent alleged that Mr. Carden was no creditor,
and it turned out that an order for a new trial had been
granted by a county court in the action brought by Mr.
Cordes. Lt appeared that the ireolvent's ease in this court
was adjourned on the last occasion to make some amend
mints. Nothing ►ad been done, and the reason was that
the insolvent expected to arrange with all his creditors, and
required some further time.
Mr. Ite.d appeared for a creditor, and hoped the court
would not extend the insolveut's protection toy longer.
His Honour thought the applcation for further time was
reasonable, and adjourned the hearing for a mouth, with
I protection, to 'nib's the insolvent to arrange with his
I creditors.

PLAYING Till Pore.—Augustus Hayman, John Carter,
George Batting, Richard Brooker, sad John Cranbrook,
were charged with erecting an obstruction before Cardinal
Wiseman's house, No. 35, Golden-square, and with oollect-
icg money from the crowd.
Hayman was dressed out as an imitation Pope. He had
on a mask, his head was decorated with • paper tiara, on
which was daubed • represeatasion of the keys of Si. Peter,
• sheet served for a robe, and the leg and part of the back of
• chair anted for a crosier. He was mounted on • barrel,
which was labelled, " Powder for the Pope and Cardinal
Wiseman." The barrel was placed on a truck, which was
drawn by a donkey, and attended by the other defendants,
in various capacitiea. but principally that of money convenes.
Police Sergeant Jonoock, C 12, said—About two o'clock
•hat day his attention was attracted towards a great noise
in Golden square. He went into the square, and found the
defendants stationed before Cardin.). Wiseman's house, with
a mob of between 200 and 300 persons round them. One of
the defendants was raising a great clatter, by belting cu •
tea.tray. As soon es the cavalcade caught sight of him they
turned cat of the square, end mrde • circuit rour.d, in ordi r
to come on again at another past, but he stopped tai in, and
caused them to be taken into custody. Their exhibition had
apparently been so wall relished by the spectators as to pro-
cure them about seven shillings in copper money.
The detente set up was that they merely did as others did
to earn a peony. There were plenty of popes going about the
metropolis, end they all did very well. They were Oct aware
they were breskisg the law, fur they had peened a station-
houses, and the inspector there had told them not to beat the
tea-tray so loud u they might frightentbe hums. As tor 'he
Pope, he declared he didn't want to be a pope, he'd rather
work hard like an honest man than he a pope.
Mr. Bingham raid he did not think it would be necessary
for him on this occasion to do more than explain the law to
the defendants. If Cardinal Wiseman had done anything
contrary to the laws of the country be must be brought to
trial and punished according to law. But it was not lawful,
whatever might be the defendant's religious persuasion, or
whatever might be their opinion of Cardinal Wiseman's
faith, for them to attempt to annoy him, or make him
ridiculous on account of his faith, whattver that fella might
be. Much less were the defendan's to be permitted to
go about the streets creating an obstruction to public busi-
nese. But as the dafendanta apparently erred through
iauorence, misled by those who ought to have known better,
he should content himself by taking their own recogniaantes
to k, ep the peace and be of good behaviour in future.
The barrel and other equipments were ordered to be

destroyed.
