CHARGE OF BILL STEALING FROM AN UNDER-
CRAM:ATI AT CAWIRIDOII.—.YettErdA, a cos. was heard at
the Cambridge police eoun. Henry alias " Bally" Cornwell
was charged with stealing a bill of exchange for 121. 10s.,
the property of Mr. Charles Heath, an undergraduate of
Emmanuel College. The evidence, which was somewhat
lengthy, went to show that on Monday the 7th of J musty
the prosecutor, with some of his familiars, were at a noto-
rious house known as " Brooks's," or "The Thatched Cot-
tage," in Barnwell, and that the prisoner was also
th-re. The latter entered into conversation with Heath,—and
asked him whether he wanted to borrow 51. or 101. 11..ith
wavered, hesitated, and declined, but finally agreed to meet
the prisoner at the ume place, and afterwards at " The
Fountain," • public house In 13t. Andrew's-street, to talk
the matter over. To " The Fountain " the prosecutor was
accompanied by two other undergraduates, and it was agreed
that 101. should be advanced by the prisoner to the pro-
neuter, upon the hater's giving him as security a bill at
three months, for 121. 10s. A second arrangement was also
made with another undergraduate for an advance on the
same terms, and the prisoner went out and returned
with the bills ready drawn. Heath read the one given
him to sign, and found that it wrs drawn at
two instead of three mouths. A more cautious friend who
was with the prosecutor advieti him not to sign the bill till
he got the money, sr at any rate to have 101. 10s. as conside-
retion if the bill was allowed to stand at two months. This
Cornwell agreed to, and the bills being signed, be took them
away to get " his friend " to discount them, saying the
acceptors would not be called on under three months. lie
made an appointment to band the money over that evening
but failed, and after sundry evasions, pulled out come oats,
and said it was very difficult to obtain money, so he had
tak. n s,me mooey and some oats for the bill.
There was a good deal of laughter in court while
the prosecutor was g ving lass evidence which was h.ert ant d
by a suggestion that there was probably some " chaff' with
the note. Prosecutor said he did not know how that might
he, but he knew he had had plenty of " chaff " since Is
answer to the prisoner's attorney, the prosecutor said the
oats could not be for his " pony at Brooke's," as he did not
keep one there. He did not lodge there, and declined to
answer a further question in reference thereto. It further
appeared that Cornwell had piped the bill wilt
another to Mr. Francis Haden, a brewer, in par-
omit of an account be owed him for beer, which
he is in the habit of selling in booths, at fairs, ike.
For neither of the two bills then obteined had the prisoner
given one penny consideration. After hearing legal gen
tlemen on both sides the bench decided that the property
in is bill is vested in the drawer, so long as it is is his posses-,
-ion, and that the charge of felony could not be sustained,
the ease was consequently dismissed. There was a similar
charge against the prisoner at the instance of Mr. William
Cavendish Uurrell, also an undergraduate, but this was
withdrawn on the understanding that an indictment will be
pursued at the anises f a obtaining the securities under false
pretenses. The prisoner was then discharged.
