man is M. Martin's pariah, was brought here bye parish
turinitable,ou the charge of J. Parker. a man mill more ad-
vanced in years, with defrauding hint of a suin of money of
trilling amount. Toe circumstances of this ca.c were ouine-
what singular. The Primmer and the Piveresstor were shop-

tained it by inakiug use of his name, and pretending to
be authorised to receive it. This was nearly IS years ago,
and the parties had never seen each other wail yesterday,
when they *net by accident, and Parker, acting upou the old
adage," better late than never," gave his out usessmate over
to the custody of a constable.
The Primmer acknowledged the offence, and raid, he
would endure the money that be bad obtained to Parker,
if he might be allowed.

The Magistrate said, he could not recognise any proceed-
ing of ohm Sort. The ease must have its proper course now
that it wu brought IN fore him.
The Prisoner was rrmauded, in order that the books at
the Navy (Mee might be examined, to find out the agent
who paid the ,•nney.
