did spend the money, because they suspected him to be
a thief; but if they gave him a little time he would pay
the money. Mr. Mansfield said he was liable to be sent
to gaol for six months, and if. the money was not paid in
course of to-morrow, (this day,) he should sentence him
to that term.of imprisonment.
