17, GniMbOrmEh-street, Hackney-wick, was charged nth
baviag, on the 20th of September last, unlawfully and by a
certain false pretence obtained of and from one George
Rhodes a certain horse with intent to defined.
It was shown in evidence that prosecutor is a line*
draper at Hackney, that he about the date mentioned re-
quired a hone with which to effect a journey into the
comitry on businees, and casually mentioned this fact to a
man apparently not very well 'mown to him, who !epee.
tented that he had • friend poseeseing an ani-
mal' which was just the thing, and it could
be tel for sale or on hire cheap as dirt. Even-
tually the " friend " was brought upon the scene,
the horse was introduced. It (lid seem a nice animal, and
it did seem cheap-7a. 6d. for one day's use, with the entire
value down as a deposit. Prosecutor cautiously demurred
to this but requirement, but consented to prisoner and an.
other man accompanying hint on his expedition out of town.
During their return prosecutor agreed to effect purchase of
the horse for 41., the bargain was duly completed, anti the
ownership changed hands. 'Very speedily, however,
the new possessor discovered that the nice animal had
I+ ilea lame, went to the prisoner, complained, and after
some talk the latter most becomingly complied with the
proposal to take it back and refund the money S he, how-
ever, was not at the time in possession of sufficient cash,
wocid Mr. Rhodes take the 41. out of a IW. country note ?
Willingly. Not sooner said than done i Cl. was handed
by that gentleman to the prisoner, who in return coin te-
ously put him in possession of a well-fingered 101. note on
the "Windsor and Eton Bank." The parties, mutually
'ided for the time, separated, but prosecutor speedily
ascertained that it would have been better for him to
have stuck to his lame bargain than given 6/. for the
note, for however bad the horse might be the piece of
paper was utterly worthless, the 'Windsor and Eton
Boot having long since been defunct.
The prisoner was remanded.
