anyone ever carried on the business of packers there..
She knew nothing of Cowen.
Mr. Lewis here asked for an adjournment.
Mr. Buchanan contended there was no case
against the prisoner, whose conduct from first to
last was that of Co wen's servant, and not that of a.
conspirator.
Mr. Martin said the prisoner was present at the
uttering of the forgecil receipt for the delivery of the
goods to the packers, knowing that he had pre-
viously disposed of them to Mr. Venables; and
while acting as Cowen's servant, as it was alleged
he was, he had received a commission on the pur-
chases.
he also remembered that

thing packed up ready to leave the country, and

told Funnell, the detective officer, that the goods
which had been sold to Mr. Venables had been
shipped. He therefore remandee: the prisoner until
Wednesday next.
Mr. Beard said he was watching ;his case on the
part of the creditors of Cowen, for whose apprehen-
sion a warrant had been issued from ti.'e Court of
Bankruptcy, and an officer had been sent after him,
but unfortunately be had contrived toeffect hits escape
with a large quantity of goods. The creditc rs had
ascertained that Cowen had obtained about 16,000
worth of goods of different firms within the last two
months, during which period the prisoner was with
andhim, ' taking an active part in the business, such
as it was.
Mr. Hyman Davis said he attended for Mr.
Thompson, Ironmonger-lane, the agent of the Tees
Woollen Company, in consequence of remarks made
by Mr. Lewis on the last occasion, to the effect that
Mr. Thompson had sold about £3,000 worth of the
company's goods to a number of customers all of
whom proved to be swindlers, and that the prisoner
and Cowen were members of the same gang. It was
not said in actual words that Mr. Thompson was a
swindler or connected with the gang, but the infer-
ence to be drawn from those remarks was highly
prejudicial to Mr. Thompson, who had been deceived
by the parties referred to, and was himself a loser
to the extent of about £3OO for goods a bought of
the company. Mr. Thompson was present to give
any explanation required. He bad references from
Cowen to Messrs. Spielman and Co.; Messrs Gold-
ing and Co., extensive jewellers; Messrs. Fletcher
and Co. ; and Messrs. Flather and Co., of Leaden-
hall-street. The whole of these references were
checked by a first-class firm in Ch.eapside, who had
received similar references from the same parties.
Mr. Lewis said Mr. Thompson's explanation did
not refute his statement that Mr. Thompson had
been instrumental in parting with £3,000 worth of
goods to a gang of swindlers.
Alderman Rose said Mr. Thompson's explanation
would carry its own weight with it, but he could
not permit any further discussion.
The prisoner was then remanded, in custody'
until Wednesday next.
