UNION HALL.
Peter Perrott was again brought up en tt charge of stealing a
Fair of horses, the property of Mr. Mortlock, or Cineen's.row, Ken-
nington.' Mr. Mortlock now stated; that im the Ist of November
the prisoner, who he had formerly known as a coachman at Mar-
gate, came to h; ..n and told him he wanted a pair of job horses for
the eclehotted Mrs. Mary Ann Clarke. Some conversation passed
Loh%► en the in on the subject, and the prisoner came again on the
nd, sr hen, in consequence of a letter he produced, the prosecutor
tr; reed to let him have a pair of horses, for which he was to be paid at
rite r,:te of 1901. a yei,r, and Mrs. Clarke was to pay when she cam

As the prosecutor had not at that time a pair of horses which
,%onl4l suit snch a job, he went to Mr. Able's, in the Borough, and
bought a pair, and they were delivered
to the
prisondelivr, not on his
fi.vn account, but nn account of Mrs. Clarke, tobe by him conveyed
to North Down; and if she did not approve of either of them, they
c: ere to Le changed by the prosecutor when they came to town
aoain. Perrott accordingly took the horses down, and it now ap-
peared they did not please Mrs. Clarke, and that Peter was dis,
patched with them back to town. Some information which the
►
prosecutor received induced him to suspect that both Peter and
his horses hood quitted Mrs. Ciaoke's service, and this and other
circumstances induced hint to go down to Canterbury, where he
roan discovered that one of his horses had been sold, as stated in a
fanner examination, to ,N; CSSFS. Chitty and Co. proprietors of 111 A.
-Union coach. May and Goff had, in the 11Wall time, traced the
other horse to the possession of Mr. Turner, of Park-lane, to whom
the prisoner had sold it. They had also discovered the prisoner,
stud taken him into custody.
Mr. Alley now attended for the prisoner, and contended that in
this case there was no felony. There was no torteous conversion,
although there might be a fraud. As the horses had been entrusted
to Perrott to take down to North Down and to bring them back,
aed it was before that special trust had ctipiretl that he sold them.
Tulare was, therefore, no taking in this case. It was exactly like
a case which had been :ironed before the dodges, where a man
hired a horse to go a journey into Surrey, and sold it before be got
Luck to London. Tit; !lodges, ir this case, held that it mai no
feleny but a fraud, sieve the pa:oiler hail done that for which the
honte was entrusted to him if lie had not gone into Surrey at all,
hot so!d the horse in London, it would lava been a felony.
Magistrates, Mr. Serjeant Sefton and Mr. Chambers, howes or, held
that here was sufficient evidence to go to a Jury, and the prisoner
was therefure.committed for trial at the assizes.
