MR. ISAAC BUTT, M.P.

Yesterday, at the Westminster Police-court, a
very respectable looking person, 'who represented
himself to be Mr. Jones, of the firm of Jones and
Kean, newsvendors and stationers, Bury-street, St.
James, solicited the magistrate's advice under the
following circumstances :
Applicant said that, having found by an account
in the newspapers three weeks ago that Mr. Isaac
Butt, who was then summoned by a cabman for
18s., resided at 3, Wellington-square, Chelsea, he
applied to him there for a bill of £3 4s. Bd., which
had been long owing, and Mr. Butt subsequently
called upon him and gave him a cheque upon the
Bank of Ireland at Youghal, which, after passing
through a banker's, was returned dishonoured.
Mr. Paynter inquired what was said at the bank.
Applicant replied, "no of

Applicant—l gave him no credit—he took it.
I could not find him out till I saw his address in
the newspapers, when ho was summoned by the
cabman.

Mr. Paynter—Did you give him a receipt when 1
he gave you the cheque?
Applicant—He was too much in a hurry to get
away with my cash, which he had in change, and
left the receipt upon the counter.
Mr. Paynter—What amount did you give him ?
Applicant (producing the cheque and bill, which
were handed to the magistrate) said—As the cheque
was for £5, I gave Mr. Butt the difference of
£1 15s. 4d. You will observe, sir, that the cheque
is all in writing ; it was given to me after banking
hours on a Saturday night, and Mr. Butt eame to
me on the following Monday, and said he had re-
ceived a letter from his banker, stating that a
printed cheque-book would be sent by post, and
requesting me not to present the written cheque.,J
and he would give me a printed one for it, but I,
have seen nothing of him since.
Mr. Paynter observed that applicant might givo
Mr. Butt into custody for the fraud, or take a sum-
mons against him, if he pleased. ons, and
proceeded to the clerk's office with that 913.1 Let, but
