LAW-THIS DAY.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY,
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)

MAPPIN AND COMPANY, V. VEILLARD.----TRADER AND

DEBTOR SUMMONS.

The plaintiffs are the eminent silversmiths in London,
and defendant is one of the contractors at the International
Exhibition, and this was a trader and debtor summons, al-
though the majority of creditors had consented to accept a
composition. There was an admission of the debt, and the
question will now arise whether the rosolutions of the cre-
ditors will avert bankruptcy.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Gibbons.)

MORLEY V. SPENCE.-IMPORTANT TO LADIES SHOPPING.

This was an aotion to recover the value of a dress sold by
defendant to Miss Morley, who alleged that she purchased
it under a representation that it would wash. _ _

The plaintiff said that she bought the dress, and made
the usual inquiry as to the washing capability of the fabric,
when she was assured it would wash well. She would not
swear as to the words. She would not swear that the word
" warranted " was used, but she could swear that she un-
derstood the shopman as to the dress being washable.

Defendant—Now, did not the shopmansay that it would
wash as well as dresses of the same kind and colour.

`Witness—No.

Defendant—Did he not show you some colours that
would stand better ?
Witness— No.

Defendant then urged that no warranty had been given,
and that he instructed his young men not to warrant any-
thing.

Mr. Spence, Ben., said he did not warrant the dress, but
said it would wash as well as dresses of the same kind and
colour.

His Honour—Let me see the dress.
Plaintiff produced the article which, upon being com-
pared with an unwashed piece, seemed much faded, and
said that she washed it herself.
Defendant—l offered 55., so that, as an honest tradesman,
no fault might be found, and my young men were most
polite.

His Honour—lt is a pity that more was not accepted.
The question for me is not what are your instructions to
your young men, but what was the impression conveyed
to the plaintiff by your young men when the dress was sold.
I am sorry to say that there is a kind of lax morality in
trade which should not exist, and I find for the plaintiff ss.
damages and coats.

ANOTHER CONFLICTING CASE-THE JURY DISCHARGED
WITHOUT A VERDICT-WRIGHT V. KNIGHT.

This was a case which his Honour had refused to decide,
the parties being highly respectable and contradicting each
other upon the facts of the case.
Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Robert-
son for the defendant.

The whole question turned upon an order for a certain
cheese, and, after hearing the evidence, the jury consulted,
and appeared to be as much at issue as the parties to the
suit, for they were finally discharged without giving a
verdict.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

BOW-STREET.

A young man named Lewis, an auxiliary letter-carrier,
was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a post-office
money order for the payment of £7.
The stolen money order was presented for payment at
the head office, St. Martin's-le-Grand, by a lad named
James Evans, who stated that the prisoner met him in the
morning as he was on an errand for his master, and asked
him to take the letter into the bank (money order office),
where he would get some money. The boy did so, but on
being questioned, ho said a young man had given him the
letter to present, and he was taken over to the post-office,
where he identified the prisoner as the person.

Mr. Dunstall, one of the inspectors of letter carriers, said
the prisoner's delivery was Fleet-street, and the letter, con-
taining the money-order, might have come into his poss es •
sion previous to his leaving the office with his parcel for
delivery.

Smee, the Post-office constable, said he took the pri-
soner into custody on the charge, and when he was seen
by the boy he instantly identified him. On searching the
room occupied by prisoner he found, in the fire-place, the
remains of a burnt envelope, and also a number of sheets of
note-paper, which corresponded with the sheet on which
the letter, requesting the payment of the money, had been
written. He also found some parts of the works of a watch,
and the prisoner had six sovereigns in his pockets.
The prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery, and
said the money formed a portion of a loan of £l2 be had
effected a month or two ago.

Mr. Peacock, the solicitor, said he wished to have fur-
ther time to make inquiry respecting the prisoner.
Mr. Henry then committed him for trial on the above
charge, but ordered him to be brought up again on Thurs-
day next.

a sailor, and who wandered so in his statements that Mr.
Arnold repeatedly had to "fetch him up," and tell him not to
" circumnavigate" so much. First of all the defendant was
drunk "as sailors are," he said, "when they've got plenty
money," then he was sober. Afterwards witness went
into a detailed and very affecting account of the love ex-
hibited by defendant and his mother, as he would inaist
upon calling the old woman. They were kissing and cud-
dling like mother and son. After the auditory had been
convulsed with laughter, witness concluded by saying that
the man did tender the knifo in payment of the ale, but
afterwards opened it, and witness believed he meant to stab
somebody.

Another witness, who took the knife from him, also
agreed in this statement.

Defendant repeated that he did not mean to stab anyone.
He had been sailing five months with the Prince of Wales,
who had embarked on Saturda for Antwerp, and had
given all the men a holiday, with 3s. each, and sent them
to the Exhibition, when he got drunk.
Mr. Arnold said he had behaved very wrongly, but, in
consideration of his being drunk, he should merely require
him to enter into his recognisances to keep the peace.
