Mr. Winner Vardy .14;;;;; solicitor, carrying =intakes
at No. 13, Oeorge-street, Mansionthouse, appeared toio
Mr. Burcham on a summons charging him with having ns.
lawfully attempted to obtain by means of false pretences fne
the London, Brighton, end South Coen Railway Compile
certain• sum of money, with intent to defraud the- sal
railway company, on the 23rd of September last.

at Dieppe. In consequence of that letter the no.
party caused some investigation to be entered into reppeDtz,
that claim, and a communication wan made with Mr—tr?
a gentleman jog on bueineas in Holborn. Mr. A;
denied all know re of Mr. Eyre, and repudiated all Rai
seeking sow n from the railway company. The ion
mendering that it was a gross attempt at fraud, thought.
was their bounden duty to take preceedinge.
After hearing evidence on both aides at considerable lengu.
Mr. Burcham thought that the evidence of Mr. Eye,
managing clerk and Mr. Maps explainel the whole circus
stances et the cue. He bad no reason to believe the Ina
spoke anything but the truth, that while he wee detains
at Dieppe he got into conversation with Mr: Anil, and tits
both expressed their intention to sue the company for cue
minion at the time. Mr. Mope thought that then k
gave him hie card it wee hie author(tryy to institute Raul
legs on his return to London. Aaordleg to that convee.
Om, Mr. Megus put the matter into the bands of ih.
Beset (Mr. Eyre'a clerk) to do the lame for Mr. Arnl
However it would have been much better had not Mr. Eye
or his clerk, acted on the authority of Mr Magus, u
would have saved all this inconvenience. He certainly it
not think that there was an imputation against Mr. Eyes
as a respectable solicitor, therefore he should dismiss io

Kr. Itainson—My client has been very tmfairly deg
with = 113 way company in this matter.
Mr. —Did the railway company cam:make;
with Mr. Byre before they commenced these proceedings?
Mr. Byes-No,dr. I knew nothing about It mud I

I Burch:am, indignantly—Had 1 known that I condos,
should not have granted the summons. I coneider there ;
not the slightest pound for taking these proceedings spin'
Mr. Eyre, who Isms this court without any imputation
his character as a respectable solicitor.
