LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

SHERIFF'S COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
WOOD V. BONNk'INELL.

This was an action upon a bill of exchange accepted by
Levey, Robson, and Franklin, who have recently failed for
a heavy amount.

Mr, Stammers, for the defendant, said that this was a
matter of very considerable importance to the defendant,
insomuch as he might be insolvent to the extent of £30,000.

Plaintiff said that defendant was a partner in the firm of
Levy, Robson, and Franklin, and therefore he was liable on
tiie bill.

Defendant said he was not a partner.
Plaintiff produced the Gazette, in which was an advertise-
ment announcing the dissolution of partnership between
defendant and Levy and Robson.

Defendant explained that there were two separate and
distinct firms, one was Levy, Robson, and Franklin, in the
printing trade, the other Levy, Rebson, and Bonnewell, in
the latter trade. Defendent took no part in the printing
trade, nor did the goods supplied by plaintiff find their way
into defendant's house.

His Honour—Were the businesses carried on in separate
houses ?

Defendant—Certainly.

His Honour said this was a matter of considerable im-
portance to the defendant, as if the verdict went against
him in this case, he may be involved to the extent of
£40,000.

Mr. Stammers then called for the bill of exchange, and
found that it was accepted by Levy and Robson, for Levy,
Robson, and Franklin. lie therefore contended it was no
acceptance as regarded defendant.

His Honour, after considering the question, ruled that
defendant was not liable.

Verdict for defendant, with costs.

THE PAPER COLLAR TRADE.--JONES V. ZEPPS.

This was an action to recover a sum of money for stamp-
ing paper collars.
Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, called his client, who
said ho had stamped a quantity of paper collars for the de-
fendant, who had paid a sum of money into court.
Plaintiff said the price claimed was usual in the trade.
His Honour gave him a verdict, with costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED FRAUD.
PRETtNDED ROBBERY OF A SHIP'S CAPTAIN ON BOARD
SITIP.—Two fellows named James Jones and John Conolly
ware charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with endeavouring to
obtain £5, by false and fraudulent pretences, from Mr.
William Frederick Williams, jewel ease maker, of 29, King-
street, Soho.

Mr. Williams—About a quarter past seven yesterday
evening the prisoner Jones accosted me in the street, and
offered me a chain for sale, representing it to be pure gold,
and to be composed of 12 nuggets which had been taken
from a river in Australia. Jones said the chain belonged to
the captain of the ship, who died on his way to England, that
the whole of the crew, with the exception of himself and the
ship's carpenter, who was standing on the opposite side of
the way, were blacks; and that after the captain's death
they had stolen the chain and some jewellery, and a quan-
tity of cigars and tobacco. Jones then said ho would call
the ship's carpenter over, and did so. The chain is the one
produced, and Jones asked £5 for it. I said I would not
buy it, and Jones then produced a set of studs, a pin, and a
ring, the stones of which he said were diamonds, and had
belonged to the deceased captain. All the while the con-
venation was going on Connelly was standing by, and they
were in a dark part of the street. Jones then said the whole
of the articles were part of the booty they robbed the cap-
tain of. They then asked me if I had sufficient money,
and I told them I had if I were inclined to buy. They
then asked me to go to a public-house where one of the
black sailors was waiting for them with a quantity of
tobacco and cigars which they had smuggled from the ship.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did they not say they had some silk
handkerchiefs ?
Mr. Williams—They did.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—l should think it odd if they did not.
;Laughter.)

Mr. Williams—l refused to go with them to the public-
house, and said I had the cash box in my counting-house.
They agreed to go with me to George-yard, where my
workshop is, but they rather hesitated, saying that three
years ago when they smuggled some goode, they were im-
prisoned through a person deceiving them. While they
were waiting for me I sent for the police, and then went
and asked Jones if he had got the jewellery, and ho said
'" No, my pal has," pointing to Connelly. On going down
the yard with a constable the prisoners both made off, but
were captured. A lad in my employ saw one of the pri-
soner throw the chain into a truck,

George Roberts, in the employ of Mr. Williams—l saw
one of the prisoners while running throw the chain into a
truck.

John Eastwood, also in Mr. Williams' employ--I saw
Jones drop a little box containing a ring, some studs, and
a pin, Jones said ho was employed by Mr. Connelly, and
did his work.

Matheson, 149 A—On taking Jones into custody he said
the reason why he ran was for "a bit of fun."
Mr. Nathan Wolf Jacobson, jeweller, of Oxford-street,
who was in attendance on other business, said, after examin-
ing the articles :—The chain is brass, gilt—the ring, pin,
and studs are of French gold—and the so.called diamonds
are glass. The most valuable portion of the property is the
jewel-case, it being of morocco, lined with satin.
The prisoners entered into g long and rambling defence,
after which Mr. Tyrwhitt committed them for trial.
