Witanes-1t refers to another parcel of MI begs, which
hes not to do with this owe.
Mr. tmen—The whole question ia whether he had a
right tolledge the warrant.
Mr. Lewis—The statute has this proviso :—" Provided
that no such saggeenat shall be liable to say prosecution for con-
signing„ transferring. or delivering any such
goods or documents of title, in case the Gems shall not be
made a security kr or subject to the payment of say greater
sum of money than the amount which at the time of such
consignment, deposit, transfer or delivery was justly due
or owing to such agent from his ptinaipe/, together with the
amount of any bills of exchange drawn by or on account of
such princips and aooepted by each agent."
Witnees—The prisoner hes never given an account of the
19 bags.
The Lord Mayor—The question is whether the prisoner
had authority to pawn the warrant. The subsequent part
of the obtuse gives a scat of power to the party, but he man
render an account. The question is whether there was
money due to the agent which juatilled him in acting as
he did?

—lirTimis—Thera was a sum of 201. or 301. due to him
ton whit he had done. lamin a condition to prove that on

rant ha yak censlinal to him marely bemuse money was

11irTLerrie—The meet parliament allows that.
The Lard Mayor—No, it doss not ; and it would be • very
dangerous Wag if Or law allowed • parson to whom goods
were ocianigned 6s *age the warm* hr them in this way.
Mr. Goodrum— The warrant was pledged for 601. If 6W.
wee due from the prementor to the Trimmer at that time,
there is • question whether this act would apply , but if
nothing wee du it le quite • different thing.
Witnem—After the prisoner sold this three begs ha re-
mitted 601. to my hither.

Mt. 81s16h—iliat was a totally different transaction to
this.

11r. Lawla—You esy so.
Mr. Sleigh—The witness says so too.
lb. Lriwia—Have you not offered to the prisoner to take
1601, in discerns of this matter?
Whiter—Never.
Yr. Lewis—Did you write this letter (handing it to the
witness) which Is dated August 31, since proceedings were
taken at We mart ?

fiti s
Mr. Lewis—That was after he had pledged the goods, and
after you had taken proceedings here
Witness—Yea.
Mr. Lewis—Do you not in that letter say this: " I have
reason to annul the criminal sot; therefore, instead of hand-
ing me this week or the next week 761., bring that sum to
twice M. In the meantime I remain your sincere Mend."
Whales—No, that is not a correct translation of the letter.
Mr. Leiria— Did you offer to take two sums of 761. each P
Witases—Ne.

The wittier proceeded to read the letter, and gave the fol-
lowing so a omen trenelation of the passage quoted by Mr.
Lewis:—" Instead of riving roe 731. this week, nest week
make the amount twice 761. In the meantime I remain your
sincere creditor." The witness added that this letter did not
at all relate to the goods the warrant for which had beep
pledged by the defendant for 601.
Mr. Lewis—Them is an open account, and we hold this
mood till the itermsts are settled.
Mr. Sleigh—The primmer ewes as 3001.
Mr. Lewis—You make the statement, and he denim it.
One etetement is worth as much as the other.
Mr. Sleigh—Wee the prisoner indebted at this time to
year father in an amount of several hundred pounds P
Mr. Lewis—lf that question is put I most go into other
matter*, I dewy It.
Witeme—fis wee.
Mr. Sleigh-And is he still indebted to him ?
Irtasee—Me is.

kr. H. Cutler, of the firm of Cutler and Barker, seed-
Ming William-street, produced the warrant for 16
baba closer seed, which he said had been deposited with
them by tie prisoner for an advance of 601. He believed the
endorsetamt on the warrant to be in the pnaoner's hand-
writing.
Mr. 81eigh—1 have now to apply for a remand to a future
day in order that we may oomplete the case.
Mr. Lewis—Thsee le a good deal of correspondence, which
it will be my duty to pat in evidence on a future day.
Will your lordship accept WO

ricaralassoss in 1001., and he moat find two sureties is 601.

Ban Hilleisraguit, foreman to a builder,was charged with
amaidting Mr. G. Murphy, of Duke-street, Bpitalfields.
Mr. Beard appeared for the complainant, who said—
Between three and four o'clock on Saturday afternoon
I
was going along Bishopsgate-street with my wile
when I NM some persona larking with an old man
who was driving a donkey and barrow. They tried to
Dash on the kerb stone, and to upset his donkey and
. I remonstrated with them for their cowardly con-
duct, when the defendant came out of a chop and said,
"What's the matter here f" A man in • cart re-
plied, " This fool is troubling himself with what don't
concern him." The defendant told the if I did not get out of
the way he would knock my eye out, and before I had time
to reply he gave me • blow which knocked my hat off, and
sent as. reeling. Before I lied time to recover myself he
gave me another blow on the top of the head, which caused
blood to flow profusely over my face, and which completely
blinded and stupefied me. Whilst trying to get the
blood from my eyes he gave me several more
blows, and then jumped up into the cart and drove
off with his companions. He was pursued by the mob and
Propped, and I gave him into custody. I wee confined to my
bed all day yesterday on account of the Injuries I received. I
gave the defendant ne provocation whatever.
l'he withers handed in a medical certificate, which stated
that he wee suffering from • nevem wound on the forehead,
inch as would be caused by a blunt weapon.
Sternal witnesses oorrobmatsd the evidence of the com-
plaisant.
The detailing, in answer to the charge, said the com-
plainant struck him tn the first Marano', and that he only
acted in self-defencs. He declared that the wound on the
complainant's head was caused by his falling on the kerb-
stone. He called on his behalf several of his companions
who drove away with him in the cart, but their testimony
tended to confirm the statement of the complainant.
The Lord Mayor sentenced the defendant to a tine of 31.,
or • month's imprisonment in default.
The Lord Mayor requested that the press would acknow-
ledge the receipt of the following donations for Frances
Johnston : "H. F. 8.," 11. ; " A Russian Hem," 10e. ;
Collected by J. Tilly (Slough), 111.6 a, &L ; "R. D. A.,"
