ing to others, bte-ausO it showed those who entered into
conspiracies of this kind what a rope of sand bound
them together, and how uncertain it was to depend upon
the secrecy of their associates.
Evidence in corroboration of the above facts was then
adduced.
Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Huddlestone, and Mr. Parnell ap-
ftraredfor the prosecution; Mr. Parry and Mr. lepton
for Wagner, gner, Mr. Deanley for Kessler, and Mr. Cook
for Gerber.
Solomon Krahcour, the approver, was then called.
Mr. PARRY objected to his being examined, on the
ground that as he was a party to the record, he was not
an admissible witness until either he was acquitted or a
verdict of guilty was found against him.
After some arguments, the objection was overruled by
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.
The examination of the witness was then proceeded
with. He was under examination when our report left.
SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. W. BURCHELL.)
RICHARDS V. UOATCH.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of
41. 121. There was no defence, and an action was given
for the amount.
The plaintiff's attorney applied for a certificate to
entitle him to costs, as the action could not be brought
in the County Court, as the Vaintiff, who was in her
Maiesty's service, had been dratted off to the Cape.
.The UNDER-SHERIFF said there was a doubt
whether, under the now Act, he had the power to grant
the certificate.
The plaintiff's attorney submitted that he was entitled
to it under the c.Bth section, but the Under-Sheriff said
it would be better to apply to a Judge at chambers.
ENGLAND AND OTHERS V. BOYCE.
This was an action brought by the Leicester-square
Loan and Discount Society, to recover the sum of 101.
on a promissory note.
The facts were devoid of general interest, the only
important point being a question whether a.plaintiff,in
person, could state his case to the jury, and also give
evidence.
Mr. THOMAS washeard in opposition, but the Learned
tnder-Sheriff ruled, on the authority of the case of
" Hoare v. Baldwin," that a plaintiff could be heard.
The case was of no interest, but in consequence of the
form of the pleading it lasted for a long time, and was
not concluded•when our report left.

and stated that he had been to sea about four years ago,
and had brought them home. The police having ar-
trblrid they again searched his boxes, and found in one of
a parcel of fourpenny pieces, amounting in the
uole to 11, 9s. 4d., and a peculiar sixpence, which had
been taken at the bar only a few hours before, and
w
lou.!ell upon one of his customers coming out of the par-
't he swore to have given across the bar in the usual
Course of business. Upon a further search being made
tAllenny piece, which he could swear to, was also found.

srla
The prisoner made no answer to the charge, and
, TYRWIIITT having remarked that he could not
deal with this case summarily, as the prosecutor wished,
remanded the prisoner for a week for the production of
further evidence.—The prisoner was then removed.
