COURT OF COMMON PLEAS•
SEAMAN V. LORD KEANE AND OTHERS.

This case was resumed this morning.
The learned Judge intimated that as this action had been
brought for loss of character, ho was of opinion, under all
the circumstances, that the action could not be maintained,
and therefore he should direct a nonsuit.

A verdict to that effect having been returned by the
jury,

Mr. Collier, on the part of the plaintiff, tendered a bill a
exceptions to his lordship's ruling.

Mr. Barrow (for defendant)—Now, Mr. Hyatt, look at
the signature.

Defendant—Well, it is not mine, it is a forgery.
His Honour (to plaintiff)—Why don't you sue Hope ?
Plairitiff—He is dead.

Defendant—All I know about Hope is this : sore
time ago he came to me to get a bill discounted. I made
a few inquiries, and found that the acceptor had run off
after swindling everybody, and that the drawer had taken a
place, had in one quarter of a hundred coals, which he
paid for, but endeavoured to get half a hundred more upon
credit. (Roars of laughter.) Of course I could do nothing
with such a precious bill, and so declined to negotiate it.
As to the signature of this bill I know nothing whatever
of it.

His Honour—Oh, of course after Mr. Hyett's evidence
it is perfectly clear that he knows nothing of the matter,
and it was Hope who swindled plaintiff out of his money.
I must find for defendant.

Mr. Barrow—Under all tho circumstances, I am in.
strutted not to ask for costs.
Verdict for defendant.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CHARGE OF OBTAINING MONEY BY FRAUD—CURIOUS
CesE.—Joseph Healey, of 4, Old North-street, Holborn,
collector, was charged before Mr. Knox with obtaining some
money from Mrs. Ellen Blackler, 98, Archer-street, with
intent to defraud.

Mr. Crook prosecuted, and said the case was one of ob-
taining money by false pretences from the prosecutrix, the
accused representing himself as the manager of a Friendly
Society, under the patronage of all the Archbishops and
Bishops of the Catholic Church, and by these representa-
tions he had obtained several small sums from different poor
persons. He (Mr. Crook) had had a similar case against
the accused before Mr. Henry, at Bow-street Police Court,
on a summons, when the matter was allowed to be settled
out of court, on the accused promising to resist from the
practice for the future. He (Mr. Crook) put in a letter
from tho Secretary to Cardinal Wiseman showing that the
accused was not authorised to use the names he had in-
serted in the prospectus.

Mr. Knox ;aid he could hot detain one of the Queen's
subjects without evidence. -

Mr. Crook said the accused promised the parties that on
the' payment of ld. a week at a certain time they would
have 10s. a week, and £lO at death. A gentleman was
present who had been to several of the persons connected
with the establishment mentioned in the prospectus, and
ascertained that the persons had never given any authority
for their names to be used by the accused.

Mr. Knox said be would consent to the accused being
put back if Mr. Crook could, by his so doing, produce any
evidence.

Mr. Crook said he could produce the secretary to Cardi-
nal Wiseman, but he was at Leytonstone.

Mr. Knox observed that the accused's being given into
custcdy was premature.

Mr. Crook said he could go into the different statements
in the prospectus, and show they were false.
Mr. Kr ox asked how Mr. Crook could show that.
Mr. Crook said he could produce the secretary hereafter,
Mr. Knox remarked that the prosecutrix's evidence
would be that she paid the accused money on the faith of
representations which he (Mr. Crook) contended were false
but which he had no evidence to prove. The man must be
discharged, but he can be taken again.
The accused was then discharged.
