MANSION-HOUSE.— COMICTID wiry •
wart,-noun CLUB.—Mr. Goddard, solicitor to several
respectable tradesmen, applied for a summons el certain per-
doss connected with a literary and scientific club, for having
obtained goods under false and fraudulent pretences. The
applicant stated that the club had the recommendation of
the highest literary and scientific men. One minion or de-
partment of the club bad been originally situate in the heart
of the City, and another near Temple-bar. The persons
against whom the summonses were sought to be obtained
applied to the complainants and obtained from them credit
for goods exceeding in value 1,0001. Two moons were
assigned for refusing to liquidate the claims—the one that the
club now established wed of Temple-bar bad no funds, and
the other that It was not the Name club.
Alderson Wilson said it appeared to him that the course
most advisable to be pursued was to proceed is a court of
law against the secretary. He said it wee very improbable
that a club of such a character should have no funds.
In answer to questions from Alderman Wallin, Mr. God-
dard said that the club had offered upon its removal a com-
position of M. ficl. in the pound, end that his clients had
obtained some of them tea shillings and others five shillings
in the pound.
Alderman Wilson considered the fact just stated, as well
as some other admissions by Mr. Goddard, le be decidedly
fatal to any criminal proeeeding. At Ike NM time he
sould not help declaring his opinion that there was a very
strong nuutifistation of fraudulent intention the pert
