Wilk*, and Blackburn, and Baron Wilde.)

TIM QUM if. HILAXII7.—CI3IIOOII CAM.
It appeared that in this cue
_the whom. was indicted
and convicted at the last NottingNtm. simian of steal-
ing 15 cwt. of coals. The prisoner was in the habit of
going to the prosecutor's colliery topurchase coals sod slack,
and there was a regulation that no coal should be taken
away without being paid for, a regulation that was well
known to the prisoner. On the occasion in question the
prisoner's cast was laden by one of the prosecutor's men
with soft oath who afterwards went to another part of the
premises. The primmer want to a heap of stack, which was
of half the value of soft coal, and covered the soft coal in
his cart with slack. He then went to the weighing-
machine, and told the clerk he had • load of slick. The
clerk made out the hill accordingly, and the prisoner drove
away. The fraud was afterwards discovered; the prisoner
was followed and brought back, and upon being told the
difference of pries between soft coal and slack he paid the
difference, saying it was the find time he had tried
it, and it should be the last. Subsequently the prisoner was
apprehended for stealing the coal, tried, and convicted. On
the trial awes submitted that the offence did set amount
ton larceny. as the coal was not taken against the will of
the owner. The point was reserved for the consideration
of the court.
Mr. Cave, on behalf of the prisoner, contended that the
moperty had peened to the prisoner, co that he could not be
held guilty of larceny.
The Lord Chief Baron said it was perfectly clear that the
clerk was led to believe the load wan slack, and not coal.
The court were unanimously of opinion that the conviction
was good, and affirmed the conviction.
Conviction affirmed.
