Mr. Daniels appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh
for the prisoner.
The prosecutor said—l have employed tho prisoner as a

primer took me to a Mr. Levy to engage the warehouse,
end to pay. himse. • week for It I pieced the rapes and

t'roamessunined—The prisoner is not my partner. I
bought the property at Hounslow, and paid about INil. for it.
The primmer did not engage the warehouse for me. Repaid
the rent and took the things away himself. He sold • parcel
of the goods three weeks ago, by my order, for 3.11. 15e., and
he handed over the money to me. Ho also sold another lot,
and gave me the proceed., less 31. 15e. There was no un-

a future occasion he might be enabled to prove that the pet
loser bad obtained the key of the warehouse by fraudulent
I representations.
lir. Sleigh submitted that the application of Mr. Daniels
ought not to be acceded to. The prisoner was clearly a
partner in business transactions between himself and the pro-

have been heard of the matter if the primmer, shortly after
reviving the money, hod not unfortunately lost it.
