411.1!XANDBit v. aeoovrErl.
+his was au victimn of detentre to recover certain
Hebrew types, manuscript'', mild plates, alleged to
have been detained by the tit fendant; after 4 nonce
from the Plaintiff.
The Plpintiff is a Hebrew printer, who sometime
since had the tnigatinse to have his house destroyed
btr drr; but the Ors in questions were 'saved.
While his bottle MIS mpaiviag, the Plaintiff sought
Out some place in which to carry on his beanies, in
the mean fiche, and hating agreed with the Defend-
nut to that purpose Isrremoved the property in ques-
tion to the Defendant's house in Windmill-arm.,
while the Defendant Was employed to pitied the
work which the Plaintiff then hail in hand, viz..
Hebrew edition of the ," Old Trani/tilt," with the
English livoviation. It appeared the Defendant
had curried on the leak to a certain but the
Plaintiff becoming diSsatisfied, demanded the Pos-
session of his types, plate', &c. kolas Idle
that she Defendant rehired to give them op, unlesshe was find paid the mogul of his bill for she work
done. In the name of the demind served by
Plaintiff on the Defendant, the plates in question
appeared to have been omitted, and that part of tle
subject of action was in consequence abandoned.
It was alleged as the principal damage which tbe
Plaintiff had sustained, in ennoequence of the De•
fendant's refusal to give up the types, &r. that the
Plaintiff had breu prevented from completing the
work iii question, to condhct which he hail been at
the expense of bringing over a printer Item Hol-
land.

On the part of the Defendant, the chief ground
of defence was, that he had nut refused to deliver
up the property on the ground *list his bill bed not
been paid, but that he had told the Plaintiff be
might take away his types if he thought proper to
send and separate them from others of the De--
fendant's, with which they had been mixed in the
progress of the wni k, and unless such separation
was made, he had it not in his power to deliver up
the types.
Witnesses were called to prove the Defendant's
case.

-----
The LORD CRIER JUSTICR told the Jury, that
in point of law the Defendant had certainly no
right to detain the types till his bill wsa paid; hot
it was for them to say, as a qnestion of fact on the
evidence, whether the Defendant bad refused to
deliver up the types—for if he had not refused to
deliver them up, the action would oat lie.

.
The Jury found a verdict for the Defendant.
Mr. MAIRTATT and Mr. JONES were for the
Plaintiff; Mr. SCARLETT and Mr. CCUNIN for the
Defendant.
ASNLIN V. INITNI.
This was an action to recover the um of
98/. 12.. Sd. the amount of a quantity of eiiris
lewd to have been sold to the Defeadamts:
the parties were corn-dealers.
On the part of the Plaintiff it was sworn, that 4e
corn in question had been sold to the Defendant,
and upon hi. credit.
For the Defendant it was sworn, by a man
named Ward, who had been a bankrupt, that the
corn had been sold to him, and not to the Defend-
ant. It appeared, however, that the sale-note was
made out in the Defendant's name, and that be
was the principal actor in the transaction, although
it was suggested that he was only the guarantee for
Ward.

The case went to the Jury es a question of fact
for them to decide to whom the goods h•d been
sold end the credit given.
The Jury found • verdict for the Plaintiff.—

It appeared that on the night Of the day laid in the
indictment. the Prosecutor, who i• a j►welkr, lock-

ed with two Police officers to Draper's•place,
Biirton.creicenr, where the Prisoner and a W 0111•11
*ho cohabited with him lived as man and wife.
Neer Se. Pancras church they met the Prisoner
and the Weiner), and the officers told them that
they wanted them, and that they were then pr, •
to their lodgings to search them. The Pt-tonne
said he lived at Alsry-le-bone. The officers, how-
ever, took them into custody, and proceeded with
them to Draper's-place. The woman denied that
they lodged there. One of the officers knocked at
the door of No. 27, a person who opened it, on
being questioned, said that the Prisoner nod the
woman did lodge there. On searching the house,
the office,, found twenty parcels, which correspond.
ed in site with some stolen from the Prosecutor,
which had been in silver eases. In the ears of 'lid
woman were found a pair of drop ear-rings, "shun
the Prosecutor knew to be his property, bees iise
they corresponded with some which had been stolen
from him. On the first hoer of the bowie *ere
found five skeleton And several other keys, fur
ffritmsh's, and many others, were food in a
closet at the top of the stairs, with tbreephosphorus
boxes.

Four witnesses, on the part of the Prisoner,
posed, that lie was at the IVliite Hart public-hnore„
in Castle-street, Oxford-road, until eleven o'clur k
of the night Lid in the indictment. He acted
clerk of a club then, sad was so intoxicated oo tl'ot
night there, that he was nut able to perform is
duty.
The woman who cohabited with the Prisan►r
deposed, the called for the Prisoner at the Winte
Hart public-house, et eleven o'clock on that eight ;
he w►s intoxicated, and she took him home, 0:.,1
he slept by her side all night. She admitted ti;,.t
,the *Roy she told the officers, of her not
Draper's-place, was false; she said en as she %%as
/earful they would make a disturbance in the

„brother had given her nine months before. Tl.e
skeleton keys, &c. were also given to her by
brother to take aim of them, he haring found the ,n

The RECORDER summed up the evidence, n,
the Jury found the Pri►oner guilty of stealing L. .11
dwelling-house, which is a capitol offence., tint c-
quitted him of the burglary, •s there war no evi-
dence that the house was broken into in the right
time.

The RECOILDER then addressed the Prisover.
and observed, if he had never thought of death • -
fore it was now time for him to do so ;as t. ,
certainty the law would be fully carried into ese; u-
tion. He would not then pass sentence of de.,:h sa
him, but he saw nothing in the way of extenuation
that would prevent that sentence whenever pii,st,l
from tieing carried into execution. Person. stan•t-
ing in his situation, who committed felonies, and d.d
not make restitution of property so ftlontonq
stolen, had no right to expect mercy.
The Prisoner was then taken from the bar.
The Itticoaboa then directed that the woman
who cohabited with the Prisoner should he c;.rn-
milted until the Court come to some deterrni,..-
tion as to what proceeding ought to be taken agaii st

The unfortunate young woman, who is of eery
interesting appearance, was then pained through o.e
