The adjourned summons in the case against Mr. Itsosry
Smart and Mr. Thome Close (who were charged with conapi-
ring to defraud Mr. Fitzpintrick,of Sheffield, by selling a eopy
of one of Unwire pictures no an " original") was procce3ed
with before Mr. Jardine, in et court crowded with artists and
picture dealers.

opinion to justify the Alighted imputation against Mr. Swart.

brought to him by Mr. Fitzpatrick, and be was sated if it
was the "original" picture—the one ho had just sold to ano-
ther party—he ',Plied. "There is no doubt about it." But this
wee &pettedly milord) answer. The picture was shown to him
without any migrations as to its being a copy. It we& a
skilfully painted copy, and a MAO not having this on hie
mind at all, might very reasonably bare supposed that it wan
the same t but oven then he declined to give a warranty,
which was a point in his favour. 1 really don't see anything
in his conduct in this transaction inconsistent with perfect
honesty.
Mr. Austen, fir Flom, contended that the whole affair
was a picture dmiere' quarrel, in which the one had tweed
round against the other. It was well knot u that half the)
supposed "originals" on the walla of greet people were
" ape,"
Mr. Jardine ultimately decided to mod the 0810 for trial,
and accepted two sureties in NI. each_
