!ye' Reg., and sou to Capt. Weaver, waiter; to the Pen-
tonville Prison, for refusing to deliver up a eft of diamond
studs set in gold, and valued at 101. The defines previously
set up was that the present ease, as well as two or three other
civil suits—one involving a breach of promise of marriage
had been compromised by Mr. Graham, a solicitor, employed
