The usefulness of the collection will be most felt from the

♦aamANs, the two Poussiss, TITIAN'S classic Landscapes'

NATTRZWII ti. OXtilf FORD. ,
' This Was an action to recover 1.1001. Money, had
and received for the Plaintiff's use.
Mr. &AIL WIT stated the case to the Jury.
The Plaintiff was a retired tratleatnan ; the De-
fendant was a stock-broker. The Plaintiff hod
• passed his life in business, and having realised a
competency, had retired into the country to reside;
' here, however, hie desire for employing his capital
followed him, and having unfortunately been in-
formed that great GUMS were to .be made by' em-
ploying money in the funds, although totally igno-
rant of the nature°, such transactions, be was induced
to place his money in the Defendant's handi. He
paid over to hint'ait various times, between July 1830
and January 1821, the sum which he now sought
to recover, to be employed by him in the purchase
and transfer of stock. A correspondence ensued
between the parties, and at different times sums
were paid over by the Defendant to the Plaintiff,
Is the profits on the different transfers of stock
made ou Plaintiff's account. At length the Plain-
tiff was surprised to receive a letter from the De-
fendant, containing an account stated, upon which
it appeared that the Defendant had been playing
with the Plaintiff's money upon time bargains, and
• balance of 7001. appeared due to the Defendant,
which sum he desired the Plaintiff would take an
early opportunity of settling. Instead of paying
700/., however, for losses incurred in illegal specu-
lations which he had never contemplated and never
participated in, the Plaintiff brought his action to
recover back the 1,1001. which he had placed
iu the Plaintiff's hands for legal purposes.
Two letters were then put in by Mr. SC A ILETT,
to prove that the object of the Plaintiff was i4l
h4ve his money legally employed, and that he had
never contemplated any thihg else.
The Soutrroa-Gem ERA L, for the Defendant,
contended, that his client had moat reason to com-
plain of deception—for so far from the Plaintiff
beingignorant of stock transuctinus, he was well
versed in them, and perfectly aware how his money
was employed. He would prove the Plaintiff's
knowledge of the transactions, both by oral evi-
deuce and his own letters.
C. Wilson, called and examitted.—He stated
that he was an iron-merchant in Fenchurch-street,
and had known the klleintiff for ten or twelve years,
and had often conversed with hint on the subject of
the funds. The Plaintiff exp r d a wish to spe-
culate a little, observing that he knew much money
might be made, and he mentioned some individuals
who, he said, had made fortunes by speculating.
He inquired of witness if he knew any broker on
the Exchange. Witness mentioned the Defen-
dant. The Plaintiff did not appear at all ignorant
of the business of the funds ; he said that much
more might be made by bargains for the account
than by transfer. Witness ultimately introduced
the Defendant to the Plaintiff in July or August, '
1830. Previous to the Plaintiff's going to France,
he called and said he had deposited in the Defen-
dant'', hands 1,1001. for the account; that he had
seen his books, with which he was perfectly well
satisfied; he had kept them in a most tradesman.
like manner. and that he would, on his return from
France, leave more money with him. '
The SOLICITOR-GUI KRAL also put in several
letters which had pained between the Plaintiff and
Defendant, in one of which, dated 11th July. was
this ;message-1.." I authorise you• to make use of
100/. to the best advantage, giving me an account
evesy settling day, and holding the 1001. as a de."
posit." In , letter, dated July 24, the Plaintiff
expressed re ref that their speculations had not
been more fortunate, but declared he acquitted
Defendant of any fault or neglect. Another letter
of the Plaintiff's, dated 20th September. stated,
" I send you 5001. more to speculutir with : you
holding the balance for me : you will see it in the
beat manner possible, either by investing it in the
funds, or buying fur the account." Other letters
were put in, to prove the Plaintiff's knowledge of
the nature of the transactions.

Mr.SCARIATT replied, and contended that the
Plaintiff's intention was to employ the money
placed in the Defendant's hands in transfers, which
would hare been a legal way of employing the
money.
The LORD CHIRP JUVrICR summed up the evi.
deuce to the Jury, and observed it was for the Jury
to decide upon the evidence which they had heard,
what were the views and intentions of the Plaintiff.
From the letters which had been read, it was plain
that some part of the money paid over to the De•
frodant was intended by the Plaintiff to be applied
to time bargain.. These were illegal, and there-
fore the Plaintiff was not entitled to recover the
money so paid. If the Jury thought there was
any part of the 1,100/. nu,' paid over with that
view, but paid over for the fair boosafide purchase
of stock, for that the Plaintiff would be entitled to
a verdict.

The Jury retired for an hour, when they re-
turned with a verdict for the Plaintiff fur 5001.

HAREM V. CoSTAII.

This was au action for words spoken.

Mr. COOPER opened the pleailings. The words
charged were, " Hawkes has stopt payment."
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL misted the circum-
stances of the case to the Jury. The Plaintiff is a
warehousemen, in a very large Ivey of business at
Norwich. The Defendant is a silk mercer, living
in Lad-lane. In the month of November last year
the Plaintiff bought some goods of Mersrs.Stirt and
Co., fur which he agreed to pay by his acceptance
at three months : before the bills became due,
he was somewhat surprised on being applied to
by Messrs. Stirt and Co. to pay the bills by
anticipation, which he immediately did ; but
other applications of a similar nature being made to
him, he found it force:wary to institute some inquiry,
and Mr. Dewy Stirt at la►t told him that he had
been informed by the Defendant that he (the
Plaintiff) had stopped payment. To the Jury,
who, as men of business who knew the inestimable
value of character to • merchant, it was not neer.-

Hsi object ortiteVlaintiff wet not dating* ilia a
the Defendant would nun give up the came df the
permits fired whom he received the information of
the Plaintiff'd having stopped payment, or ise
knowledge he• had no foundation for the report]
he wes ttady to 'take a verdict for nominal damage*
titerely.
Henry Stirt called and examined.—He is partner
in the hoose of Stint and Co.; he first did boil-
nese with the Plaintiff some time before January
lest, and took bills at three months for the amount
of goods sold him. He knows Mr. Costar; on
the 10th January he was standing at the Defeo-
dent's door when the postmen delivered the letters,
on opening one to himself from Norwich, lie was
informed in it that it was reported that Hawker
had.••opt payment; he mentioned it to Coster, who
said it could not be, but about two hosts after
Costar called on him, and said he was afraid it was
true, for he had seen a letter from Norwich which
mentioned a great failure there, but no name. The
next day Mr. Costar called on him again, and said
he had seen a man from Norwich, named Baird,
who told him on his asking *hat news, that Hawk's
had stunt payment, and he win sure of it, as Mr.
Bignold had told him so.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE here intimated to
the Solicitor-General, that ou case was made out
against the Defendant.
The SoLICITOR-GBIIERAL consented to be non-
suited, and the Plaintiff was accordingly celled.
Mr. SCA RLETT, who was for the Defendant, said,
he owed it to the Plaintiff to say that there was no
ground whatever for the report.

THE SING V. WEAVER AND OTNERS.
This was ■n information filed agiiiist the De-
fendants, the proprietors of the John Bull news-
paper, for a libel on bitty Wrottesley.
Mr. SOLICITON-GENERAL said hef was for the
Defendants in this case, but as he felt it impossible
to deny that the publication complained of was a
libel, he was willing to let a verdict of guilty be re-
corded, reserving what he had to say till the De-
fendants appeared in :mother place.
Mr. &WATT desired that in consenting to a
verdict of guilty being entered, he subjected him-
self to no cundilions, but should remain free to urge
in aggravation of punishment, if he saw fit.
The Jury, under his Lordship's direction,_ found
a verdict of guilty.

OLD BdILIt Y. FRIDAY, JULY 27.

Hen►y llawkins and James Turner were indicted
for stealing from the rerson of Mr. Jagleo Cooper
on the evening of the 6th July lest a 101. note.
The Prosecutor stated, that he was act:Gated by
the Prisoner Turner on the 6th July, while he was
standing at the shop window of a boot-maker's in
Middle-row, Holborn, who entered into a conver-
sation, and represented himself to be a cattle-dealer
in the country. After walking together some little
distance he was prevailed upon to hove something
' to drink, which he complied with, and they tiro-
ceeded to the Blue Post public-house, in Mouth-
amptoo-builditigt, Holborn, sod sat in the parlour.
At that time no person Ma ids the moult NI.
in a few minutes Hawkins came in and rotered

into conversation, saying be was • tradesman
in the country, and had come to London for
medical advice un account of ill health. Soon after
another person ca►ue in, and seated himself apart
from them. Hawkins, and the last person, laid some
bets with each other, when the latter said, " You
are all three poor fellows." Hawkins seemed angry
at the remark, and asked him what sum he would
bet that they could not produce 10/. ? The Pri-
soner, Hoskins, then asked witness if he had got
that sum ? He replied he had, but it was at home,
and he would go fur it, which he did, old on his
return to the public-house, the Prisoners were in
the tap-room, who went out and retired into the
parlour. Each of the Pri►oners produced, as wit-
ness thought, 10/. and held it in their hands.
Witi►ess also 'hewed Inv 10/. when the stranger
admitted having lost the bet of one pound to
each of them, but offered no money to pay it.
It was then proposed to bet " double or quits,"
or some words which witness did not understand.
The Prisoners then put down in a hat what
they called 101. each, and witness put in his 101.
also to bitsd the bargain. A dictionary was then
produced, and they told witness he had lost. Wit-
ness wished to have his 101 returned, but was told
be had lost it ; this lie denied, as the bet was only
for I/. Fti►diog lie could not get his property,
he called loudly for assistance, but could get
none at that house. He then rail across the
road to another public-house for aid, and in
the interim the three persons ran away. A con-
stable being on the spot joined the Prosecutor in
pursuit, and at • distance of 400 yards apprehended
the two Prisoners, but the third escaped.
The constable in question who took the Prisoners
in charge. stated, that while they were in his cus-
tody he observed • piece of paper fall from the per-
son of Hawkins, which, on being picked up, proved
to be the M. note of the Prosecutor, the number
corresponding with the memorandum he had taken
of it at home.

James Read, sen. en officer Irelonging to Hatton-
garden, searched the Prisoner., and on Hawkins
found among some mrtuonnulums a flask note, of
which the following is a copy :
" No. 7.-1 promise to pay to Talents, Ins and Oute, or

In one corner was a bee-hive, with the motto,
" Industry bleseetl► a man, idleness curseth him—

The reading of this precious document occasioned
much laughter in Court.
The Prisoners its their defence endeavoured to
prove that the Prosecutor had laid the bet, and that
the money was fairly won_

ruins leading from the Borough Road to Newington Cause-
way, on his return home, when four men, of whom the Pri-
soner was use, came before him on the path, and with the
most dreadful imprecations told him they must have his
money or his life! He said be had nothing worth their
taking, and was trying to avoid the gang, when the
Prisoner rushed upon him, and with a most terrible blow
felled him to the ground. Prosecutor called " Murder!
murder !" On which one of the robbers, a short man,
dressed in a blue coat, jumped upon his oeck, and lean.
ing his 'bands against an adjoining wall, continued jump-
ing up and down upon his throat, till his cries were stifled,
whilst another man was employed in kicking him in the
ribs; he was then seized by the waistband of his trou-
sers, turned on his face, and all his pockets were rifled of
their Contents, which altogether amounted to the sum of
3s. 6d. The thieves, disappointed at finding such a trifle,
commenced kicking and heating him with increased vio-
lence, till at length his senses forsook him, and he had no
further neollection of what occurred, till he found him.elf
under the Care of an officer, by whose timely ariival, he bad
no doubt, his life had been saved.

stated that out the slight in question, *bout half-past ter
o'clock, he was on duly in the Dover rustlond met the Pri-
soner and three others, who were so ~lamely espied in
conversation that they did not notice his. Koos lug' them
all to be thieves, he suspected they were then on some dis-
honest expedition, and he determined to watch their mo-
limas, for which purpose he placed himself behind • heap of
bricks on the road side, from whence Ise could view their ae-
lions unobserved. He had not remained keg before he
heard footsteps, mod saw a gentlemauly-looking man ap.
proach—the gang immediately came before him, mid one of
them, whom he believed to be the Prisoner, said, " D—n
your eyes! stand, and deliver your money :" to which the
stranger replied in a cool dispassionate manner, "Take
care of yourself, my friend, for I'll not suffer myself
to be rubbed by the whole four of you." The robbers
then prepared to attack him, or which the Gentleman pro-
duced a pair of pistols, amid swore that be would blow the
brains of the first man shout the road that attempted to
offer him the least violence. 0. bearing ibis threat, which
the Gentleman delivered with great earnestness, the thieves
ran off, and the former pursued his way very deliberately.
Hiltless then left his Win place, and was peucceding
along the road when his atteution was arrested by cries
of " Murder !" which seemed to issue from the ruins
on the side of the Borough-road ; be proceeded in that di-
rectioo, but the groans basin died sway, be had greed diffi.
