Yesterday Robert Broy, son of Aaron Bray, a
livery-stable-keeper, in Red Lion-yard, Holborn,
w.,1 charged with having fraudulently and by false
pretences obtained possession of a promissory note
for 261. The prisoner's father was also charged as
a v1,11117)4 criniinis, but the charge us against him
was subsequently withdrawn.
It appeared that William Tugman, a maihtemtelr
and omnibus proprietor, residing at Portlandstown,
hail purchased two horses from a person named
Pennington, to whom in return he gave his accept-
ance for 261. Tugman having fallen into difficulties,
sent his brother, George Tugman, to Bray's liVery-
stables, in the course of last week, for the purpose
of tieing Pennington, who was Bray's foreman, in
order to obtain further time for the payment of the
bill. He rode into the yard, and asked to see Pen-
nington., When a stout man replied, that he was not
there, but that his name wits Bray, and he could an-
swer for him. The defendant, Robeit Bray, was
present, and witness having made known his business
the latter said that he bud his brother's bill, and if
he (witness) would give him his acceptance for '261.
in lieu of it, he would give it up to him. The stout
man (who proved not to, be Bray senior, but a man
in his employinent, named Butcher) then opened
the stable-door, and witness was told to put the
horse in, while he went to the counting-house, to
settle about the bill, He did so, and sent for a
Stamp, and accepted a bill for 26/. at two maths'
date. Witness 'asked the defendant if the stout
MB (Butcher) was his father, and he replied that
he was. He then demanded his brother's bill, when-
Butcher made answer, " No, by God! you shall
neither have the bill nor the horse." Witness then
.vent towards the stable, but was prevented from
entering by the defendant, who said," My father is
a very passionate man : you bad better go away."
The delendaut then threatened to beat him, and one
of the stablemen, who had a pitchfork in his baud,
swore lie would knock him down. Witness begged
that lie might not be ill-used, and was finally glad
to escape from the premises without either horse or.
bill.

For the defence, a stable-keeper in Bray's employ-
meat, named York, deposed that he was present
when the. witness, George Tugm in, cane to the
'stables about thp and hp "Ore tß,gt he heard

door and demand the horse, nor did any person offer
to use the least violence towards him.
The defendant, in answer to the charge, said that
the reason assigned by the witness, George Tog-
man, for wishing for further time was, that his wife's
brother had robbed him of 3001. Ile (the de-
fendant) then proposed that the .wittiess cud his bro-
