SistraY tl. WILKING.-ALLNORD SWINDLING BILL
TRANSACTION&
_ _ . _

In this rase a rule bad been obtained, in the prrsrnt tern,
to set aside a judge's order for the payment of the debt to
this cue, in instalments ; and also for the return to the de.
fendent of certain instalment' which had hese already raid.
It appeared that in consequence of a money-lending ode,.
tiseasent the defendant, a clergyman, had been induced to
give a bill for 2001, not a farthing of which, however, cam
Into his bands. The bill wee endorsed over to
the plaintiff, who, on its reaching maturity, commenced ao
action against the defendant for the recovery of the atrium
upon which the judge's order in question was given, and to;
promsedings thereupon were stayed.
Mr. Powell now moved (in the absence of lr. liesla,s)
to enlarge the rule until nest term, on the ground that the
plaintiff's attorney, Mr. Pitman, would not have time to
reply to the voluminous effidavits filed by the defendant ft x.
tending u they did to 435 folios) in lees than fourt.en den,
when he had no doubt he could give a satisfactory answer to
the defendant's affidavits, as far as he (Mr. Pitman) wee
concerned. Mr. Hawkins had the other day moved for (a
enlargement of the rule in the case of Pitman v Paws,
which was a similar case. After a short convenation, hs
curt wu andentond to grant the rule.

Mr. Ilumfrey, Q C., said he would at once, with the pee.
mission of the court, show cause against the rule, upon Mr.
Pitman's own affidavit.

The Chief Justice—When Mr. Bawkina moved to eaten
the rule in Pitman v Parsons, he came in time to have elms
shown in the present term ; sad he was then asked it he was
gong to move in the other case. but he said he was not.
Mr. Barstow said the rule celled on the plaintiff and 11r.
Pitman to show cause, and he appeared for the plaintiff to
make a similar application for an enlargement of the rule. It
was stated in an affidavit which he hel.t in hi. hand, thattae
rule had been obtained on the oth November isehnt, and
that the plaintiff hod obtained cffice copies of the affidavit on
the afternoon of the Bth November, for which be had paid
101.175. 6d. The rule was returnable on the llth Nov., zed
it was impossible for the plaintiff to prepare affidavits in re-
ply by that time. He (Mr. Barstow) had been in-
structed on the 11th, and had spoken to hle
learned friend Mr. Bt.mfrey on the 'abject, but
he had not made a substantive motion earlier, be.
cause he should be in time to do so during any pot
of the term, his motion being to enlarge the rune until
next term ; and, if time were given, his client stated that he
had no doubt he could produce a thorough awl most 'stn.
factory answer to the of tavits fled by tb• defendant.
Mr. Hurnfrey—l distinctly stated that I would not con.
sent to this matter being pat off until next term.
Mr. Justice fdaule—Bleven days ago Mr. Pitman sail ha
should not be prepared to file of davits in reply in less than
14 days, and the same Mr. Pitmw: now says he is notready.
What has he been about in the interim ? It we refute
your motion, he may be prepared to put into your hands s
bundle of affidavite in reply.
The Chief Justice—Mr. Pitman moves for a similar rule
in a matter which is called a swiudling transac'ion, wittiest
any touadation I dare say. (Laughter.) This is *similar
transaction, and the plaintiff should have moved at the

same time.
Mr. Barstow said it was entirely his (Mr. B.'al fault, that
he had not done so.
Mr. Powell said that the affilevit which he now produced
wets sworn this day, and the deponent declared that he
should require 14 days to complete his affidavits in reply.
The Cheat Justice —offile eopies of the detendaat'a sth-
davits were obtained on the Bth November, which was four.
teen days ago; just the time which Mr. Pitman says he
should require to prepare his affidavits in reply.
Mr. Barstow said there had been new matter introduced.
Mr. Humfrey—The only new matter is this: we had found
out seven swindling transactions, and we have wow discovered
an eighth, which we have added.
Mr. Barstow—lt requires mire than the ordinary time to
answer all the eight cues.
Mr. Humfrey then showed cause against the ruse fir
enlargement, contending that there had teen ample time
to answer the defendant's affidavits The plointitl's attorney
said that he could tot obtain a full and satisfactory smart
in less than 14 days;; he had, in point of tact, already had
that time; but he bad no doubt he might with es mach
truth have said 14 years. It was a mockery of justice to ask
for further time than had ►lready been given, lie (Mr. 11
had bee, taken by sum's., or be could have produced
many affidaviu. The fact was that many anonymous letters
were being sent to the fathers of some of the gentlemen in-
volved in these bill transactions, holding out threats to them
with a view to intimidate them, and put a stop to the pro.
heeding' which had been taken.
The Court discharged the rule for enlargement; and, no
one appearing to show cause against the rule which had been
obtained for setting aside the judge's order, it was made
absolute.
Mr. Serjeant Miller now sought to put in an affidavit is
vindication of the character of Mr. Smith, the defendant's
attorney, stating that he knew nothing of the matter until
he was called upon by the defendant to consent to the judge's
order.
The Court, however, decided that they could not receive
such an affidavit, as it would not be filed in a judicial
proceeding, and, if untrue, the deponent could not be in•
dieted for perjuly.
Mr. Justice Maule—lf you want to get something into
the newspapers, yeu should do it in the usual way, and pay
for it. (A. laugh.)

THE SUSPECTED CASs •OP ROM/BENG AND ROBBERY.
—C. DenAar anu W. Daniell were finally examined,
charged with huussing W. Gould, and fraudulently obtain•
ing his welch and goosed.
There were several other charges against the prisoners of
a similar description, and they were arraigned on the chiefs

of conspiracy.
The particulars of this case appeared in our journal on
Tuesday, the 12th inst. Wm. Gould repeated the tailrace
then reported.
W. Perkins, H. Harris, and J. Woolstead, all young men
in humble employment, deposed to having lost their watches
and money in a similar manner. They also corroborated
Gould's testimoney with respect to the prisoners "leap
tossing with a cheating teasing copper cap.
Sergeant Hodges, of the A division, s iid, when he appre-
hended the prisoners he found upon Danhar three watches,
which were afterwards identified by the prosecutors as their
property, a quantity of metal medals, resembling sovereigns,
and the copper cap.
The prisoners reserved their defence, end were committed
for trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court.
SOUTHWARK.
A CHAMPION or TUN Porn —J. Regan. an Irish labourtr,
was charged with being drunk, and creating a disturbance
in the public streets.
Freeman, a police-constable, said that about ten o'clock
last night he found the prisoner caUing out, "Down with tlia
protestants, and the Pope'for ever," which caused ■ mob to
collect about the spot. Perceiving that he was drunk, he went
and desired him to go away, when he turned round
and exclaimed, "That he would fight for the Pope;
that he was a catholic, and would smash all the
protestants." Witness left him, and immediately after
wards a perron came and told him to prepare himself,
as the prisoner was tollowing him with some instrument ut
his hand. He turned round and seized hold of the prisoner,
when he found a knife in his right hand, but it was not open.
He then became so violent that he was compelled to tilts
him into custody.
Mr. Bingham tined him ss.
