That being Jo plainers ear,
Mr. JSMIII this addressed the jar for the defendant. Us
was coovinced they would be of epinios, when they had
heard the whole of the case, that Doyle was in the habit of
pinto sting Dillon and vice versa, whenever either our
error at the office, by their creditor,. Dillon was and to
pagan( for the bill in question. and the officer bad the
writ pet into he hands to arrest Dales, who was living at
the Weekly Chronicle afar. Thurston, they had been told,
west to the office with a letter addressed to Min, who was
sp stain with Dille when the menseger came up. Doyle
rid, " I'll go does," and Ite went down from the dr. ssiag-
room partly dressed. Both these getalemee were playing
at Mr sad seek, and were is the habit of personating each
other. Doyle accordingly reprieested himself as Dillon to
the offices He opened the letter addressed to Dillon, and
read it, spa which the officer said, "1 leave get a writ
sunset you, sad moot erre.% you." The plaintiff's case was,
that he was takes oat of the house under arrest. He would,
however, prove it was sot so. The officer said when dower
rain, "If you will
_give me your word of honour
that an sot Mr. Mins, although you bays
ttieked MA up stain, I will set arrest you." He did
give kis word, so in which the offline left him awn,
sot underwrite. Doyle west afterwards of his own sword
to the attorney and paid the 211., and did not complain to
him that he had been arrested ; but said he had been as-
sayed by the sheriff'. officer. He would show that Dillon
lid bimetal is a cupboard on • shelf. It was sot very usual
for "sutler* from bolted to put themselves oe the shelf—
(iateghter)—beit he did se us this occasion. He would also
show that whip Mr. Rowell went to the oilier • short time
Kam be found Dillon in the cupboard, and was told by
Dejle that he bad trapped the sheriff. He thought, when
he had proved his case, the jury would be of opinion jet
theplointil had sot been armor at all, and that, if he bad
bees, it wee his own fault. Them two persons, Dillon and
Doyle, wen there evading the purest of their jest debts.
