sad brother of the last witness. Had not been brought up to
say Modems, but had friends who allowed him enough to
keep him in a respectable position. About ON 6th of Jam
teat he wrote to plaintiff to the effect that he understood he
had means to discount accommodation bills for gentlemen at
the West end. He subsequently saw Rowland, and told
hint he wanted 601. It was twanged that the bill should be
fce,1151., the 61. being for two mouths' discount. lie called
at wiureas'eledgings, and told him the bill waste be discounted
by Yr. Charles Elliston Wilson, who was connected with
• fenerel company in 13ridgwareet, Blackfriars. Witness
signed hie name to the bill, end gave it to Rowland, with
21. 10a. for his trouble. Rowland promised to call next day
with a cheque for 90!., but did not do so. When he saw
Rowland he raid he had had a great deal of trouble
in getting In Mr. Wilson's debt., and witnew
must take 9/. or 101. On other occasions he mat
him at an cating.house in Bridge-street, Blackfriare, and
wee kept waiting whilst he went to Mr. Wilson's, under the
pretext that he was &mounting the bill. In several sums
of 41. ids. for 51., 4!. for 61., and so on, the deductions being
weds be Rowland's luncheon and omnibus farce, witness
nweived about 261. net, which was called 291. 10a. Finding
he could not get any more money, he gave Rowland the
361. bill as payment of the 291. 10s., In order to get back the
661. bill. Rowland came back and said he had kept the VI
for Mr. Wilson's oontdderation. The same day Rowland
gave him nearly 101., which he said was money of Wilson's
which he had collected. Some days afterwards witness
wonted the Wanes due on the 661. end the 351.
bill to be returned. Rowland then said the 101. had
bee ;given not on amount of the 661. bill but
ea axonal of the 354 Witness mid it was any-
thin bat straightforward, and /misted on returning
the 101. and having back the 361. On the 4th of July, in
eoas try with a Liend, he !net Rowland Weida
the Celoesww. Rowland pretended to give him the 354
bill, sad tore a piece of paper like a bill into four pieces.
Witness took the pieces and threw them into the street, not
doubting it was the bill on which the action was brought.
They then want into the Cape of Good Hope, kept by
dingle, where he returned the 101., and Rowland asked him
far • sovereign as a reward to go about getting the remainder
of the 551. bill next day. The next time he saw him Row-
land said that was for the trouble of getting the 361. Of.
and that he must have more for getting the balance of
201. 10e. due on the 661. bill. When that bill became due.
he offered 361. to Rowland, bat Rowland mid he would have
the whole 661., because of a quarrel on turf matter. Hip
brother would not let him sty mousy Into court or enter a
plea, and he sent the 551. to Rowland by a message; who
brought back the 551. bill two days after it became doe. The
next thing he heard was that his Mother had been served
with • writ for the 351. bal. He went to Rowland and Row-
land told him that It most be • adetake, sad be would make
it al eight. He heard that • writ was out against him also.
sad he went to Rowland sad get It, becalms he was told that
Hawked said be could not did him. Rowland sold him a
chain for 61. as best silver gilt. It was not worth ss.
Crom-examined-Hed speculated in timber. Had bought
timber of his brother. raft school when he was sixteen.
Had not been to college. Had sought a government slow-
tics. Hatt an uncle • general in the army. Had t
about 7001. last year. Could not Mil the amount to 601. Had
not lost or spent
so much any year ain the last year. Com-
menced on the turf for amusement last spring. Made
memoranda o the horses he backed. Payed billiards, but
never played at cards. Did not save money, but had as
allowance made him by his friend..
Witt:eases were called, who confirmed Mr. Hoeg Primes
statement of the payment to Rowland of 106. at the Caps at
Good Rope end the pretended giving up of the 361. fa the
street. It must also be noticed that
.the plaintiff denied
them on cross-examination, every bttle of the "videos,
a▪
bout e in which he obtained and retained possession
of the 351. bill.
Mr. Huddlestone was about to sum up the defendant's
"S Juryt interposed, and said it was uonecesorry.
Mr. Peteredorf raid he would only submit one point to
them for the plaintiff, viz, that the 651. bill was paid without
a word of objection.
The Chief Baron-The cam is that it was paid rather than
have a public exposure.
Mr. Peters:lmi said the only other point was whether the
*WWI would have brought the action in his own name, if
he had not felt entitled to the money? If the tansacbon
had been such as the defendant represented, would not Row-
lead have transferred the bill to a third party, and thus ex-
elided the greater portion, if not the whole of the defendant's
evidence?
The Chief Baron-It would not have excluded it the least
fa the world because there was evidence that when the bill
berme due it was in the hands of Rowland. I hope It is not
tree that it is so easy to get a person to swear
he has received a bill before it became due, and paid money
en aceennt of it, when such a statement was perfectly Wm
sad unfounded.
The plaiatiff was then called and a nonsuit entered.
The tamed In the action of Rowland v. Harry Prince.
entered at these 'Wings, was withdrawn.
