BLOOMSBCRY COUNTY COURT.—Ynarstanat.
Bohm D. D. Hoak, Sm.
CAPTAIN CORM P. PAUDY.—A Moan Cut—This was
an action brought by the plaintiff, attached to the 38th
Bfrgiment, to recover Irma the defendant, • hone-dealer,
who has frequently figured in windier cases, 201.,
which he had obtained from the plaintiff, under the follow-
jag cirminstancest—From the statement of the plaintiff,
it appeared that in October last, in anuequence of seeing an
advertisement in the morning papen for the sal of
• dappled grey mare, the prim 421., he went on
Thursday, the 19th of that month, to the sta-
bles of the defendant, whom he saw, and who
showed him the mare, which he agreed to patches. for 351.,
at the twaditious of paying down 201. and having the hone
on trial for • month, at the expiration of which time, if he
approved of the animal, he was to pay the remaining 151. or
otherwise return it and have hit money back less 51 , which
defeadaot was to deduct for the use of it. He then having
gives a cheque for the 201 on Meters. Prim and Someread,
army spats, Craves-streer, Strand, requested the mare to
be seat to Hr. Garden, saddler, Pieceddl, to be measured
for a saddle and bridle, when defendant said that she should
be *erg as soon as he was himself, and he west away ; but
although he waited above an hoar at the saddler's, the mare I
was never sent. He had told defendant, before leaving him,
that he should let the has remain with him for a day or
two, not having engaged nay plane to take it to.
The next morning he went to dafendist's with a groom, and
saw a stablemm, who said his master (the defendant) was
out of town, but bad left word that he was not satisfied with
his reiponsibility, from his enquiry at the agents. end should
not give up the horse without the payment cf 151, and not
return the 201. ; which still retaining he had instituted the
present proceeding.—W. Seymour, the groom spoken of by
plaintiff, corroborated that gentleman's statement as to the
words spokes be the defendant's servant.—G. Godfrey.
clerk to Mews. Pries and Bouttead, deposed that hie em-
ployers were agents to the plaintiff. On the afternoon of
Thursday, tae 19th of Oct. last, the defendant presented Capt.
Cubit's cheque for 201., which basin remind, he said he bad
other Waimea with the captain, and asked if the money was
safe, which question witness thinking wen made out of curio-
sity, be replied thdt be could not answer it. It was not the
practice to answer qut.ations IN @petting their clients unless
requested to do so by the parties themselves.—The defendant
said that the horse was sold without any conditions ss to its
being returned on liking or disliking, and no such stipula-
tion as a month's trial was made.—His Honour carefully
went throuth the evidence, and gave Judgment for the plain-
tiff; the 201., • ith the wiole of tee costa, to be forthwith
paid into court,

ship with a penes award Mulles& It was enter the
dieselnaleal or 'Partnership that he made the perches. Pre-
vious hi tarot he used to kin the rooms, and goods were bold
yaw iediram's name until wittin the last week,
whom his ammo was removed from the door. On the 4.h of
Jou be alunisel two seta near his due: distributing bills
whisftsallarted to him, and warned the public against par-
eiregici wedge at 20, Moorgate4trose, alleging that they
WWII Mate up and put up for the occasion. Mr. Rowell&
added Bad em the Bth Jan. hi west to the printer (White)
and asked Me if he had printed the bills, and he replied
is the afilrmative, and said that likelier gave
the order for them sad Soloman paid the deposit.
He (the peosseettur) had received a letter on the
subject, and several persona had threatened hies.
The two raw who dietribated bills about the door of the
complainant MOM they cold not identify Mr. Solomon', as
the party from whom they got 'hem.—Mr. Roweliffe was
recalled and ereavexamlced by Mr. Lewis, when he mid
that the artistes were always advertised in the name of
itselgrave, who had ao license. He declined answering the
Iguanas of whose property was generally put up for sale,
and said that he carried on the baldness for the last four
months is the some manner—Alderman Farebrother :
When he brings mob a charge as this against the defen-
dants, I think for the sake of his own character he ought to
answer the question ; but as he does not, the non-answer
must be take'. and all pariee may come to whatever con-
canal% they like.—Mr. Rowell& said that only a part of
the property for sale was his own.—Mr. Lewis, for
the defense: Will you say that the greater part was
not sent to your rooms by brokers for gale ?—Mr. Itoweliffe
I refuse to say that property was only sent hy brokers
Ald. Lawman : Then you have never advertised in your
name, or removed that of Mr. Redterave from the door ?
Mr. Reweliffe I have not ; but my name has been under
the auctioneer's desk.—Mr. Lewis: And as a matter of
courses the public would imagine they were purchasing from
Mr. Redmve.—Mr. Rowcliffe : They might think so.—
Ald. Farekether said be recollected that some person of the
same name as the complainant (he did not my
it was he, for it might be somebody who as-
fumed it), advertised a carriage and a pair of horses
the property of a Chevalier Somebody to be sold in Love-
lane, BtoekwelL This brought a crowd of people, who rang
his bell, and were very importunate to am his horses. It
afterwards toned out that tnt Chevalier only resided in
lodgings in a freehold house adjoining, knead of being the
owns, of the property advertised for sale, and that he could
scarcely procure the means of buying& dinner. He thought
that was decidedly a mock auction, and such sales were con-
tinually being carried en under the pretext of being seized
and removed under a distress, or under a judgment, where-
as in soma cases the fact was that the sale and seizure were
alleged to be In different counties, which showed
the statement to be false. Mr. Bu :hanan for the pro-
ne:atlas mid he had other witnesses, and called a person
named Moon, who net anrwsring, and that being all
the evidence as against Solomons and White, Alderar n
Lawrence and Farebrother came to the decision that the
charge had not been established, for there was the fact of a
piny acting in the capacity of an auctioneer, under a differ-
ent same, and, therefore, as the hand-bill only alluded to
the house, and Hr. &dime's name was on the door, the '
natural supposition in the absence of other evidence would
be that it was applicable to Mr. Redgrave. They bed,
therefore, come to the conclusion that the summons
with respecti to White and Selomons should be die-
missed.—Mr. Buchanan said as Mr. Moore bad arrived, he'
would proceed against Kneller and White.—Ald. Lawrence
said he could net do so against White, se the summons bad
dread) been dismissed, he having been included with Eldo-
mons.—John Moore. a broker and picture dealer, mid
know Rowcliffe and Rattler. The 'aster belongs to a society
of which I am • member, and one night he said that he had
had moms words with Rowcliffe, sad weal 'serve him eat, at
the same time showing me • bill without a printer's name.
I afterwards saw similar bills distributed in the vicinity of
the complainant's house by two men.—Aid. Farebrother : I
think if you go further into the case, the complainant will
cooly prove that Ms is really a mock auction.—Mr. Lewis
to the witness: Did Mr. Rowcliffe sell any other than
his own property ?—Witness: I don't think he di,!.—Mr.
Lewis : Have you not seen articles several times put up for
sale I—Witness : I have—Mr. Lewis: And have yen not
offered yourself to act as a commission agent for gentlemen
in the room items : I have so , but took a com-
mission from Mr. Redanven—Mr. Lewis : Have you not
heard that a morning newspaper refus-il to take his ad-
vertisemsn's T—Witnesa: I did hear so lion, Mr. Rowcliffe,
but I can't my if that is the reason he advertises under
the name of Redgrave, althonah I have rent advertisements
in the papers since he informed me of the fact. He bad
heard that it was in consequence of a gentleman connected
with the paper referred to haying =ado a purchase
that the advertisements were refused.—Aiderm.n
Farebrother asked if Mr. Buchanan thought there
was any use in proceeding further with the charge
of libel, ',there was no evidence that it was intended for the
complainant, as the witness Moore bad produced no c pv of
the bill he saw.—Mr. Rovcliffe (with great warms) : No,
there is no use in proceeding further, as the case was pre-
judiced before it was heard.—Ald. Farebrother : The public
don't find respectable people using another person's name,
and that party having no license.—Ald. Lawrence: We
have not been prejudiced. We do not sit hero to decide
whether yours is a mock auction or not; we only have to
decide, according to the evidence, whether this is a libellous
publisatioa and whether it relates to you. We are of
opinion that it does not, and, therefore, the summons is
dismissed.
WORSHIP-STREET. ALLEGED BULOLARY. —C.
Wing/i5:4,17, the son of a respectable tradesman in Bishops-
gate-street, was charged with having been concerned with
a youth named Gilbert, who was remanded on the prece log
day, with having broken into the dwelling house of Mr. W.
Timothy, an upholat rer, in Sboreditab, ard stolen a quan-
tity of plate and other property. A constable stated that
haviag received information tending t. implicate the pri-
soner in the burglary, he proceeded to his father's house that
marteing, and, on apprising the prisoner of the suspicions
against him, h. at once admitted that he had taken an active
part in the robbery, the recollection of which had render. d
him uneasy in his mind ever since, and that a portion of the
stolen property was then in hie possession. He torn showed
a gravy spoon, two teaspotns. and a parasol, which articles
he said, constituted his share of the plunder. On his attention
being celled to the dark-lantern they had found in the
possession of the lad Gilbert, the prisoner recognised it as the
sane they had used in the perpetration of the robbery. Thar
prisoner afterwards entered into a orcum stantial account of
the manner in which tne burglary was effected, and declared
that he bad been induced to enxage in it at the earnest illAti-
gatio3 of his eonfederates.—The proem:cedar identifi d the ar-
ticles produced by the officer as forming part of the property
which was stolen from his house on the occasion referred to
—The prisoner was remanded until the day appointed for the
re-examination of his aceomoli e, Oilhert.

Cuaxos OF BIOAIIY.—S. Collins, a cigar...box manufac-
turer, was Realty examined, charged with having intermar-
ried with Anna Maria Hornhlower, his first will, Esther
Isabella Collins, being still alive. At the former examination,
the complainant, Iloroblower, stated that in August, 1847,
the prisoner after 18 months' courtship, persuaded her to
accompany him by railway to a town in Bust it, where they
were privately mumd by special I c•mee, and that he con-
veyed- her back, under an injunction of secrecy, to the house
of her father, under whose protection .he remained until the
following March, when she accidentally heard that her
husband was living with another woman, and having in
dated him to show her their merriere certificate, which he
had strictly prteerved in his own keeping, *he indignantly
destroyed it. She thee communicated her actual position to
her parents, who w. re so incensed at her previous conceal-
meet of the facts, that they turned her out of doors, ard
she took up her abode at the house of a distant relative, where
she happened to meet the prisoner's first wife, and after
mutual explanatioup, the, made common cause together, and
by their joint instrumentality the prisoner was traced our.
Sergeant Steinke stated that be had searched the parish
regtster of Cane, Coggeshall, and other towns con-
tiguous to the railway station, de-cribed by the girl Horn-
blower as the ens at whil she had stopped on her matrimo-
nial cscussioo, and found that the marriage in eneetion had
not been solemnised at either of thou• places. He had also
made subsequent inquiries at the General Register Office, at
Bouvrset-house, and ascertained that the only matrimonial
alliance contracted in the year 1847 by a woman ranted
Horeblower had occurred in Cornwall several months prior
to the date of the alleged ceremony.—The witness
Hotablower was now recalled, and closely qusutioned
by the manistifite, but she pertinaciously adhered to
lee cagiest esetimeny. and eemvented for her inability
to describe more particularly the place where she was
married, by stating that aro had never been there
before, and that they r.terned to town the instant the
ceremony was completed.—The prisoner declared that the
whole of the statement, with regard to the alleged mar•
rime, wee a febrication.—Mr. Arnold sad that it was cer-
tainla most extraordinary case, but es he did not feel justi-
fied In sending tall ease for trial upon the unsuppor.ed testi
loony of the witness Horoblower, he should enlarge th bail
for one month, to afford her an opportuaity to bring forward
the necessary formal proof in confirmation of her statement,
and if the evidence required were not then forthcoming, he
should order the prismr to be discharged.
CLERKENWELL—A Row AT BanLxa'a WILLS
TRIATII.—C. Hughes was charged with violent assaults
upon Mrs. Iffe Hawes, and Dawes, a check-taker at Sad-
ler's Wells Theatre.—The prusecu:rix, was with her
husband is the gallery of the theatre, when the prisoner en-
deavoured to turn her out of her seat, pinched her arm se-
verely, and attempted to throw her over. Dawes interfered,
when he was also violently ass-tilted and bitten by the pri-
mmer. After a dreadful resistance he was taken to the
altion-house.—The pri-oner was fined 40s. for each assault,
or in default a fortnight's impri-onment for each.
LAMBETH.—H•enunetho A POLICEMAK.—J. Jaws,
the proprietor of the Union beer-bouse, Brixton-bill, wet

misiioners. for unlawfully harbouring in his house B. Har-
vey, a police constable, owing the time he should have been

uttering forged Bank of England notes. The first charge,
on which the prisoner hat. been remanded, was v.at of Utter-
ing a fared (ff. note to Mr. Ridb r, of the Duke of York,
Regent-street. —A policeman tamed that he was on duty in
the presage to the mlla of the court that =netting, when he
by accident overheard a conversation between the accused
and other prisoners. A female in the adjoining cell inquired
of the accused what be was there for, when he replied, "

street, had received tt e m net, and melted (spent) it."
Another prisoner then acid, he was there foe a bad six-
