het Irian for Surrey, when a rurdict wee returned for the

Mr. Be;Al now mewed few • leper canals why thew

ef the =edict being against the e . It wee an =Ne-
phrite hew to try the right to certain goods which had been
see= by Um Sheriff of Middlesex under an execution =-
lea= by the plaintiff sonnet George Adkins. The geode
woe at Wintenoll-bouar, Brampton, and at the time el the
leisure were in the undoubted and undisputed possession
et Lambert, the plaintiff. It appeared that Lam-
let bad purchased the lease of the house from
Adkins, paid the money and duly registered the
assignment, and no depute arose at the trial as to the bona
Me nature of this transaction. With regard to the geode, it
was found that they had been absolutely wild by Adkins to
the pinata, that the money was paid, end that ported=
was =kin on a ores= day prior to the execution. The de-
amilimt sold the sale was colourable and fraudulent, and foe
the seer= benefit of Adkins. The trammed= respecting
the goods was this : Adkins became notorious as • person
principally concerned In en action which was tried Way
Christmas last in this court, sad in which Sidebottona was
sued by • Mr. Culverwell on some bills of eac.hange given
for money won at gaming, and, as it appeared ou the trial,
won by false dice and other means. The verdict in that ere
passed for the defendant, and subsequently Mr. Sidebottom
brought an action against Adkins to recover the money
he had tort, and • prosecution was also threatened
against him for ruing false dies; and these matters
were known more or IVY to all persons who were
in the habit of reading the reports in the newspapers. An
attempt MY made to show that his client was an intimate ac-
quaintance of Adkins, end was in the practice of gaining
with him, bat it entirely failed, end note single word was
said against his character except that he originally kept •
public-house in Cherlee-strut, St. lame's, and that be Lad
been connected with the turf. He else swore distinctly, and
the defendant had the omens of ocatraelkting him if it was
untrue, that he never gambled. It appeared that Ailkina,
who was living abroad, applied to a prima named Padwiek,
• keeper of race-borees,-for • loan on the dam and furni-
ture. Pedwiek declined to advance say money, but recom-
mended Lambert, with whom ho WAS intimate, to enter into
ilerffinlitex with Adkins ea the subject, end ultimately Len-
tort purchased both, giving 5001, for the lea= and SOO/. for
the furniture. This transaction took place on the loth of
June, and the action against Adkins was tried on the 22nd
of the rose month. Mr. &mill referred in dot it to
the evidence, and contended that there w-e noshing to im-
peach the veracity of hie client, and that • verdict which
fixed him with having entered into • fraudulent trammel=
for the purpose of benefiting Adidas, with whom he bad no
intimacy, ought not to stand. He also contended that there
had been misdirection in leasing the ease to the jury.
Rule refused.

At the rising of the court • respectably Maid mon pm-

Mr. Hdwud Jana; having summed up the evidence fo.
the plaintiff,
Mr. Edwin James addressed the jury on behalf of the de.
fandant. He said the question waa not whether there woe a
debt due to Mr. Soott, but whether he had wade • colourable

we of a bill of sale in order to defeat Mr. C. J. Allan's ode,
creators. The latter was not entitled to much aympathy, am
he, knowing he was insolvent, bad . edeavoured to entrap a
girl with money. His marriage was only a care of the
"biter bit." The conduct of Mr. Scott in dealing with the
=y showed that the La of sale was a mere pretence to
Allen's creditors, who had given him credit while be
was allowed to hold himself out as the owner of the &mitt=
ia Olunceeter-road.

His Lordship, is numoting op the one to the jury, sad
that the question for them to deride wee, whether at the time
theta of sale was given the intention wee that the property
should pais to the plaintiff, Mr. Scott.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff,

solvent, who is • journeyman printer, applied to be dis-
charged under the set, having been on bail since July best,

The insolvent, who in in • bad state of health, appeared to
be in custody at the suit of Mr. Junto, a surgeon, who had
lived in l'ortugul-street, for • debt for attendance. It was
admitted to bs • friendly arrest. The insolvent consulted •
person named Guy, who acted as clerk to Mr. Edward
Oovett, an attorney. Mr. Chase MIA • creditor Ur rent, and
offered to take it by inessiments if seemed; he and Mr. Jones
were the principal creditor.. Th. action of Mr. Chan.
brought by Messrs. Preston and Webb, was defended by Mr.
Guy sad Mr. Oovett, and the latter was the attorney in the

to hie action, for which he now complained, and the pant
raised wee whether • petition concocted on purpose to deprive
Mr. Charm of hie debt nhould be sustained.
