whom 15 only escaped without being wounded.—

had received a great many wounds before that.--

to Government, with their driver (a Maltese). and

man engaged in the affair had ever seen any thing
to equal it before. The Turks drove the party 1

Palliser, to hawk and sell coal► for hint, had
rece,v..d money without accounting for ir, and
taken cut coals and disps of them without
his knowledge. Upon some further investigation,
however, it appeared that the Prisoner had ey-

fador, whereby be was to have so much per
bushel upon the sale of the coals : he sold the coals,
received the mu icy, gate be reccirrs, and transaned
all the business in his own name, and had constant
access to the coal-yard whenever be thought neces-

he was then ready to account for. Upon this the
Magistrate was rather of opinion, that this was more
a guesti so of en-partnership, than between master
and a leant, and accordingly ordered hint to be dis-
charged ; but not being entirely satisfied, direEted
that security should be given for his appearance, if
called upon on a future day for that purpose, which
done accordingly.
