ing circiiin-iii:.ees:—Some time ago, Captain Ro-
bertson %cis followed in the street by a beautiful
setter-4:, which tio endeavours, on his part,
timid induce to quit hem. Under these cir-
cumstance* lie took the animal to the Defend-
ant's stables, requesting he would take charge
of it, and endeavour to discover the owner;
and in case he should not be able, Captain Robert-
son determined to keep bon. "fie dog remained
some time ut Mr. Morley's, but no owner was
found, and at length Captain Robertson deter-
ruined to take him home, mud he accordingly up-
plied to Mr. Morley for that purpose, who, how.
ever, now, on some account, refused to relioquish
him ; unit having advertised hilts once more in •
daily paper, au owner at length came forward, in
the person of Captain Green, to whom Mr. Morley
delivered the dog, without comm 00000 •t ill
with C.. t. Rnbertson, who tit consequence brought
the present on the ground that Mr. Morley
wits not justified in giving him up to Copt. Green.
Captain Mortimer was called, who proved that
he bred the dog, and gave it to Captain Green, sod
that the animal was worth twenty guinea*.
No doubt remaining as to the right owner of the
dog, Mr. Serjeaut LENS was about to argue the
question of law as to the power of the Defendant
to relinqiiicli the animal without the consent of
Captain Robertson, who had delivered him to his
care. when _ .

'the CHIEF JUSTICE interposed, and suggested
to the 'wrt►ra the propriety of consenting to with-
draw a J ror in this CMIC. which PUggrSiloll was at
