THE BEST APERIENT and -ANTIBILIOUS
MEDICINE for general use is FRAMPTON'S PILL OF
HEALTH, which effectually relieves the stomach and bowels
gentle relaxation, without griping or prostration of strength. Th
remove head-ache, sickness, dizziness. pains in the chest, &c., ate
highly grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, re-
lieve lancour and depression of spirits ; while to those of full habit
and free livers, who are continually suffering from drowsiness, heavi-
ness, and singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will
not fill to be appreciated.
•

This medicine has for many years received the approval of the
most respectable classes of society ; and in confirmation of its effi-
cacy, the following letter has been kindly forwarded to Mr. Prout,
with permission to publish it, and if requisite, to refer any respect-
able person to its author
" To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand, London.

' " Heavitree, Exeter, April 24, 1844.
" Sist,—l feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unsoli-
cited testimony to the excellence ofyour ' Frampton's Pill of Health,'
which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior ge-
neral medicine. The widow- of an officer, an elderly lady, and
near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having re-
course to any other medicine for a long period of years. She
has recommended them extensively, and in one instance in
which she induced a person to adopt them, and supplied the
first box herself, they have proved of extraordinary efficacy. I think
that, perhaps, there is scarcely any other of the many patent medi-
cines before the public of equal value as a friend in need ;' certainly
none possessed of superior claims. I shall be happy on all occasion's
to give them my individual recommendation; and am, Sir,
'• Your obedient servant,

31 One half the world are desolately single, and the other
iapposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
lens' of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
f caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
•omprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
mod broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
uld social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
lament. Honour and justice demand that health should form anitem
m the compact ; It alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
teglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, it
:hese surmises concern yon, procure Dr. CITLVERWELL'S little

)ach (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
'alined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
)y misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
:hots. They are not inteo,ded certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
far the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
()gather, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittlo publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
oy rout Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
ivstd," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pampl•lets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere Ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
'ifs who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
ierv.inca of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
weak he done ante—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
no the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

THE MURDERS AT CLAPHAM.
The fact becoming known that James Weston, the
man who stands charged with the murder of Maria
Weston, his wife, and Maria Elizabeth Weston, his
infant daughter, by cutting their throats with a razor,
was to undergo a re examination before Mr. Paynter
yesterday morning, at the Wandsworth Police-court,
the precincts of the court were thronged with people
from an early hour. The magistrate, however, having
directed that none but those persons absolutely en-
gaged in the case should he admitted into the court, it
was kept comparatively clear.
Mr. Paynter took his seat upon the bench precisely
at ten o'clock, and having disposed of some few night
charges, the prisoner was brought into the court at
half-past ten o'clock, by Mr. Bicknell, the superin-
tendent of the V division, and placed in the dock.
When the prisoner was before the magistrate on
Saturday, he had the clothes on him in which be had
murdered his victims, bespattered as they were with
human gore. YesterdayC the prisoner was attired in
the prison dress, his own apparel having been given
into the custody of the police, by whom it will be
produced at the trial.
The prisoner had lost all that terror and nervous-
ness that possessed him on Saturday. He walked
with a firm step into the duck, and, beyond restlessness
about the eyes, he was perfectly collected, and paid
profound attention to the evidence given by the
various witnesses.
Mr. Paynter asked if any professional gentleman
attended for the prisoner ? Mr. Bicknell said he un-
derstood the prisoner to be ucdefended.
Inspector Coleman was the-, called forward as the
first witness; and Mr. Alfred Taylor, the chief clerk,
proceeded to read his depositions, as given on Satur-
day last. The evidence of the witness being con-
cluded,
Mr. Paynter said—Have you anything to add to
that deposition ? Inspector Coleman—Yes, sir ; the
prisoner asked me for some breakfast, and I gave him
some. There was a great deal of blood upon his
clothes, and they have been since changed for the
prison dress. The clothes he had on on the last occa-
sion are now here.
Mr. Paynter—Let them be prcduced and identified.
Inspector Coleman—l identify the coat, hat, and
waiscoat. They are the clothes the prisoner wore when
he came to the station.
Mr. Paynter here asked the prisoner if he wished
to put any question to the witness ? The prisoner
(in a loud tone)—l have no question to ask him ; but
(turning towards and pointing to Mr. Parrot, the
surgeon, who was seated at the attorney's table) that
is the man I wish to ask some questions of.
Mr. Paynter observed when the proper time came
he should do so.
Frederick Langton, police-sergeant, 9 V, was next
sworn, and his depositions read over to him. The
witness added to his depositions the following evi-
dence. The house contains four rooms, two above
and two below. The prisoner, with his wife and
children, appear to have been the only persons occu-
pying the house. I found a shilling and a halfpenny
on the bed. At the station I found a baker's bill ;
the amount on the bill was 2s. 61 I also found three
knives on the prisoner. There were marks of blood
on the bill, which I took from the left-hand waistcoat
pocket. On one of the knife blades there are marks
of blood, and another had been recently sharpened.
Mr. Paynter examined the knife on which the
stains of blood were alleged to be, and observed they
did not look like blood.
Mr. Parrott was directed to examine the blade,
and he gave it as his opinion that the marks were
those of blood ; he had very carefully examined the
body of the deceased woman, but could find no marks
of any stab.
Sergeant Langton then proceeded with his evi-
dence. The child was quite naked. I have no doubt
the clothes were taken off after the child was mur-
dered. I have no doubt that the prisoner, after com-
mitting the murder, washed himself and put himself
to rights. There was also in one of the prisoner's
pockets a paper containing a little tobacco, and that
had a stain of blood on it. The child's chemise and
night-gown were saturated with blood. They were
lying by the bed side. It would appear the infant
slept with the prisoner and his wife.
The prisoner here said —Allow me to say one
word ?
Mr. Paynter—What is the question you wish to
ask ? Pr:soner—What the policeman has stated
about the bill is not true. He did not find it on me ;
the baker's bill was in the side-pocket of a fustian
coat, and was in the bed-room. I went to Dodd's
shop about the amount, in which there was a mistake,
and he said he would come about half-past twelve
o'clock that day to settle it.
Inspector Coleman said he saw the baker's bill taken
from the prisoner at the station-house.
Examination continued—The infant was warm ;
she was lying in a pool of blood, and on her face. I
should think, from the position of the woman, she
was killed first. I have observed the two footmarks
particularly. They are decidedly those of a female,
arid upon comparing the deceased's boots with them,
I should say were hers. The footmarks had been
made with blood. There was blood on the wall. It
would seem that the deceased had made an attempt to
get to the other room. The staircase faces the door
of the front room. One footmark was close to the
edge of the stair, and the other close to the room.
The aide of the staircase forms the end of the house.
The door of the front room opened inside. The legs
were just inside the doorway. An attempt had been
made to make a step forward, and the deceased's throat
was probably cut as she had hold of the door.

She recognised the corpse of the woman, but could
not identify the child.
After some conversation it was determined to
examine Sarah Clover, the daughter of the deceased
woman by a former husband, who is a pretty-looking
intelligent little girl of nine years of age, and her
appearance in the court excited much commiseration.
She was sworn, and stated as follows :—My mother
was the wife of the prisoner. He is my father-in-
law. I don't know the time I went to bed on Friday,
night. I saw Newman, and went to bed before he 1
left.. I slept in the back room by myself. I was not
awoke in the night. The police woke me in the
morning. I heard nothing during the night. The
police showed me the dead body of a child last night;
it was my little sister. I saw also my mother's body.
Mr. Paynter now asked Mr. Parrott if he knew
anything respecting the state 'of tin prisoner's mind
lately ?

31-r. Parrott—l am not able to give any evidence
on that particular fact. I know nothing at all about
him.

Mr. Paynter, addressing the prisoner, asked him if
he had any witnesses to call ? Prisoner—l have no
witnesses, and I've no recollection of anything.
Mr. Paynter then read the usual caution to the
prisoner, and at the conclusion told him it was at his
option whether he chose to say anything or not in
answer to the charge.
Prisoner (pointing to Mr. Parrott) said be was the
gentleman, who took my senses away, and he ordered
the drugs to be given. Mr. Herring sent for Mr.
Parrott when my child was ill with inflammation on
its lungs, and he said there was nothing the matter
with it except its teething.
Mr. Paynter—This is not an answer to the charge.
Prisoner—l have, no answer to it. He gave me
the drugs to take, and Mr. Pritchard sanctioned it;
that was on last Monday week, and he said, by
Saturday night week there would be murder in my
house, and Mr. Pritchard said he would be answer-
able for it. The prisoner then went on to state that
Mr. Parrott, two or three other gentlemen, and the
superintendent of police came to his bedside on the
previous night, and would have murdered him but
for the turnkey. They afterwards told him that if he
spoke of it again it would be their ruin.
Mr. Paynter again reminded the prisoner he was not
answering the charge.
The prisoner put his hand to his forehead for a few
seconds, and said that Mr. Pritchard and another
gentleman had said he should be released, and his
child restored to him in two years. He knew nothing
abDut the charge of murder. He was quite senseless.
His senses were taken from at the time ; they were
coming back to him slowly, day by day. That was
all he had to say.
When his statement was given to him to sign, he
expressed his reluctance to do so, but afterwards made
his mark.

The brother of the prisoner informed the magistrate
that his mind was affected, and he could produce wit-
nesses to that effect.

Mr. Paynter said such evidence must be given at
the trial, and might have its effect.
Some minor arrangements were then made, and the
prisoner was committed for trial at the Central Cri-
minal Court for wilful murder.

The prisoner declined putting any other question
to this witness, but said he wished Mr. Parrott to be
examined.
Mr. Paynter told the prisoner he would have his
wish, and, addressing the inspector said he had
better have a plan of the premises prepared ready for
the trial.
Mr. John Charles Parrott, of Clapham-common,
surgeon, was next sworn, and the chief clerk having
read over his deposition, the witness was asked by
the magistrate if he wished to add anything.
Mr. Parrott—Nothing, except that I noticed the
peculiar state of the spine in the woman. On the
right side of the neck there was a jagged and ragged
appearance, the same as if broken by some force. 'This
injury could not have been inflicted by a razor.
There was a spiculum of bone sticking up ; it might
have been caused in the struggle. Three or four me-
dical gentlemen were with me when I examined it,
and were of opinion with me that the neck had been
twisted round. The violence of the struggle might
have broken the neck, but I do not think it would have
given that jagged appearance to the bone. I observed
the footmarks, and think the foot had been previously
dipped in blood. The position in which the body of
the woman was found would show that strugging had
taken place, and the nature of the wound would in-
cline me to believe that the throat was cut at the
moment of hor striving to get into the other room.
Mr. Paynter now asked the prisoner if he had any
question to put to the last witness ?
The prisoner—l think Mr. Parrott is the murderer.
He and Mr. Pritchard and Mr. Bullock came to my
bedside/ last night and on Monday night fortnight.
Mr. Parrott was fetched to mesmerise me. Mr.
Parrott gave me drugs, and he said there would be
murder in the house.

Charles Newman, a new witness, was next exa-
mined. He said, I lire at Saville House, Brixton-
road, and am a farm labourer. I know the prisoner
and his late wife and children. I bare not seen the
bodies. I was with them on Friday evening ; they
were very comfortable together. The prisoner was
sober. Thera was no quarrelling, but he said he
thought he had had a quarrel with some one, and
that he should hear something that would do him an
injury. lie said he had been to the P division police
station, and asked if it was any of the police, as he
did not know who it was. The prisoner was looking
very ill, and I asked him if he had been to work that
day, and he replied " No." He said he was much
troubled in his mind, and wanted to see his brother ;
that he had been as far as the Park on his way there,
but turned back, as he had left his wife very unwell
at home. The prisoner's wife remarked he was look-
ing very ill since he was in this bad way, and the
prisoner got up, walked to the looking-glass and
said, " I shall be fat to-morrow." I don't recollect
that he said anything about Mr. Parrott or Mr.
Pritchard, or about any drugs, or being mesmerised.
Witness left at nine o'clock.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSIOIV-HO USE.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE of ASSAULT.—Benjamin
Lampard was brought before Alderman Gibbs upon
the charge of having unlawfully, maliciously, and
feloniously assaulted, cut, and wounded Thomas
Sault upon his head, with intent to do him some
grievous bodily harm.
The incidents, as described in evidence, caused a
great deal of surprise. The head and face of the
prosecutor were patched all over.
Thomas Sault, a labourer in the service of the
Ordnance, at the Tower, said—l live at No. 2,
Newnham-place, Bishopsgate. Between one and two
o'olock on the morning of Wednesday, the 17th inst.,
I came home with the prisoner, who lodges in the
same house with me. I was going up stairs, and the
prisoner was going up before me. lie had a pewter
pint pot in his hand, and he suddenly turned round
and struck me on the head and face in a dreadful
manner. I was not quite sober, nor was he, at
the time, but he knew what he was about. He
cut my head open. We had been out drinking
together, and had had some three or four
sixpennyworths of brandy-and-water, for 'some of
which he paid, and I paid for the rest. We had been
at three different public-houses together. After he
first struck me I fell down, and he kept on jobbing
the pot over my head without intermission, and
knocked me down. I fell to the bottom of the stairs,
and an officer came and assisted me to the station-
house. I was covered with blood. A surgeon was
sent for, who dressed my wounds.
The prisoner—Did I not fetch the policeman
myself after you were assaulted ? The prosecutor—
You did.
The prisoner—Did you not drink some beer with
me when we came into the house ? The prosecutor
—Certainly, you brought in a pint of beer with you,
and I drank part of it with you down stairs.
The prisoner—How then could it be supposed that
I would attack you in such a dreadful manner ? We
had no quarrel, and no existed between us. The
moment I found you were attacked by somebody I
alarmed the police. The prosecutor—You are the
person who did the deed, and no other.
Hall (policeman 668) said about two o'clock yes-
terday morning, I heard some loud talking, and saw
the prosecutor and the prisoner going into their lodg-
ings together. The prisoner was trying to prevail
upon the prosecutor to go into the house. They
went in, and I went away. I afterw area heard a
cry of " police," and found the prisoner calling " po-
lice," and upon going into the houso I saw the pro-
secutor covered with blood. He immediately seized
hold of the prisoner, and said " This is the wretch
who has done it." I found two hats on the second-
floor landing, doubled and creased up as if they had
been trodden on. The prisoner immediately said,
" Whose hat is this ? This is a stranger's hat, and
the party who has done it has run away." He then
said, " Whoever it was they hit me first upon the
head with the pint pot," and he picked up a pint pot,
and said, " This is it. I took it out of his hand and
hammered away at him as hard as I could," holding
up his hand ; and he added, " Whoever he was be
did not get much the best of it."
Alderman GIBBS—In what state was the prisoner
at the time ? had been drinking, but he
was not so drunk as not to know what lie was about.
Jesse Baker, a labourer, who lives in the same
house, said—l sleep on the ground floor, close to the
outer door. I was in bed, and I heard the prisoner
say to the prosecutor, " Come in doors, old fellow."
Sault said, "I won't; I shan't." The prisoner said,
" Yes, come along." I then heard a policeman walk
up the court and speak to them, and tell them to go
in doors, and I heard them come in. I then heard
Sault refuse to go up stairs. The prisoner tried to
persuade him to go up, and Sault said, "I shall not,
I will not." But after a short time I heard them
both go up stairs as far as the first landing, and then
I heard them go up the second flight. I next heard
a great rumbling, and Sault helloed out, " Ben, you
have done it—you have murdered me." Sault then
came down stairs, and made a slip, as I thought, and
fell against the partition of my room. The prisoner
called out, " Mrs. Jones, for God's sake get up—Mr.
Sault is murdered." I then got out of bed and
opened my door, and saw Mrs. Jones bring a candle ;
and I then saw Sault at the foot of the stairs, with
his face covered with blood. Sault said to me " Ben
has been trying to murder me." I asked the prisoner
what ho had been doing, to which he replied,
" I have been doing nothing. It was some
strange man that came into the house and tried
to rob us." I then said to the prisoner, "If
you did not do it, fetch a policeman, and
we shall soon see whether we cannot find who has
done it." He fetched in three policemen, and then
he produced a pint pot, and said, " This is the thing
that done it." He further said that there was a
strange man going to strike him with a pint pot,
and that he grasped it in his hand, and wrenched it
away from the stranger, and that he then struck the
strange man as hard as he could on the head with it.
Sault said the prisoner was the man who did it, and
gave him in charge to the police.
The ALDERMAN—Did you hear the steps or voice
of any other person on the stairs ? Witness—No. I
did not hear any one go up after them ; and no one
came in until I opened the door and called to the
prisoner to fetch a policeman. lam positive the
outer door of the house was not opened after the
prosecutor and the prisoner entered. The policeman
searched the yard and the top part of the house, but
found nobody.
The ALDERMAN—Did the prisoner say anything
after the policeman searched the house? The wit-
ness—All that he said was, that a strange man had
come in to rob them.
The ALDERMAN—In what rooms do they sleep ?
The witness—Their rooms are opposite to each other,
at the top of the house.
The prisoner—l was persuading Sault to go to
bed. We never had any words, and why should I
injure him ?
William Robinson—l reside on the first-floor, and
I kept two old hats hanging on a peg outside. The
hat found upon tho stairs is one of them. The pri-

The prisoner had no question to ask this witness.
James Crane sworn, said—l am a gardener, and
live at 'White's Cottage, Park-hill, Clapham. I know
the prisoner, and lodged with him twelve months, till
about two years since. He was married at that time
to his late wife. ll^ had not been married before to
my knowledge. She had one child living with her,
awl another elsewhere. I saw the prisoner on Friday
last in Manor-street. He said, " Good morning,
James." I saw him three times that day. had not
seen his wife for some days. I saw her body and
that of the child on Saturday afternoon. I identified
his wife's body, but could not swear to that of the
child, as I had not seen it sufficiently to swear to it.
Mr. Paynter said the identity of the child must be
proved.
Inspector Coleman said he took a woman on the
previous evening to identify the bodies before they
were screwed down, and she was present.
A woman named Collins was then called forward.

sower had said, the man who committed the violence
had gone away and left his hat. It is my hat.
Mr. Thos. Brown, surgeon, of St. Mary-axe, said
he was called into he station-house to examine a
wounded man, and found that the prosecutor had re-
ceived four or five contused wounds on the head.
The prosecutor was at the time under the influ-
ence of drink. Witness dressed the wounds, which
he did not consider to be dangerous provided erysi-
pelas did not ensue.
The prisoner, upon being asked in the usual man-
ner whether he wished to say anything, said, " I am
entirely innocent of it."
The ALDERMAN—I commit you to the Central
Criminal Court for wounding the prosecutor with
intent to do him grievous bodily harm. That you
were in liquor I consider no excuse at all.
The prisoner—There is nothing to show I did it.
The ALDERMAN.—You happened to be the only
person there ; that is all.—Committed for trial.
%VESTA! IN STE R.
TIM LATE ROBBERY AND SUSPECTED MURDER
AT CHELSEA.—Thomas .M.Donald, Mary, his wife,
and Mary Fox, who stand charged with a robbery at
Chelsea, attended with circumstances of a most mys-
terious and extraordinary characler, were again
brought before Mr. Broderip.
The particulars of the former examination have
already been fully detailed.
A few days ago, owing to every endeavour on the
part of the police to obtain the least information with
respect to the sudden and mysterious disappearance of
M'Gowran or M'Guire, the prosecutor, having been
fruitless, a letter was addressed by the board of
guardians of St. Luke, Chelsea, to Sir George Grey,
stating that much alarm , and excitement prevailed in
the parish, and that it was the general impression
that the missing man had been murdered, and urging
upon the Home Secretary the necessity of offering a
reward for the discovery of his person. An answer
was received on Friday last to this communication,
but owing to a passage in it appearing to bear a
doubtful construction in the minds of the guardians,
the following was determined upon at their meeting
on Wednesday, and forthwith forwarded :
Office, Chelsea Workhouse, Oct. 17, 1849.
" Sir George—ln referring to you my letter of the
10th instant, on the subject of offering a reward for the
discovery of the body of Mr. M‘Gowran,•or M'Guire, I
have been directed by the board of guardians of this
parish, at their weekly meeting held to-day, to inquire
what they are to understand by the expression contained
in your reply of the 12th, That you are unable to en-
tertain the application of the guardians that a reward
should be offered by the Government for the discovery
of Mr. M'Gowran, alias M'Guire, until you receive a
communication from the magistrate before whom the
case is in the course of investigation.' Whether it is
that the magistrate is first to communicate with you on
this subject, or you with him; because, if the former
should be the case, the chairman of the board of guar-
dians has informed the board that having waited on the
magistrate, in consequence of your letter, he was informed
by him that no communication of the kind could originate
with him, as the magistrate; but that the matter rested
entirely with the Secretary of State. The man is still
missing (now upwards of three weeks), and the
guardians ate still decidedly of opinion that M'Guire
has met with a violent death, and that his body is con-
cealed; that a reward should be offered, and that imme-
diately, for the discovery of it; and that without such
recourse it will not be forthcoming, which of course will
impede, if not defeat entirely, the ends of justice.
"I have the honour to be, Sir George,
" Your most obedient humble servant,
" for T. M. LONELAND,
" Clerk to the Guardians.
" W. L. DIGGING.
" To the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart.,
" Secretary of State, Whitehall."
The letter above alluded to, of the 12th instant,
bore the signature of Mr. G. C. Lewis, and it may
perhaps lee as well to state that the Commissioners of
Police had requested some days previously copies of
the depositions in this case, which were of course irn
mediately supplied.

Upon -the accused being placed in the dock yes-
terday,
Mr. Russell, superintendent of the B division, inti-
mated that no clue to the missing man had been
discovered, but said he held in his hand a document
from the head office, in which the Government
directed a reward of 50/. to be offered for the missing
person.

- Mr. BRODERIP observed that he was happy to hear
it, as it might be the means of throwing some light
upon the matter, which was at present involved in
utter darkness.
The prisoners were then again remanded for ano-
ther week.
Mr. Ryder, the chairman of the board of guar-
dians, who was present, expressed his gratification at
the intelligence communicated by the inspector, and
said that if even the suspicion of M'Gowran having '
met his death by foul means should prove unfounded,
and he should he discovered, under any circum-
stances, yet alive, his appearance would allay the
excitement and anxious feeling exhibited in the
parish.

Large posting bills with reference to the above,
offering the reward of 501., were yesterday evening
circulated throughout the police district, stating that
that amount would be paid to any person who should
give such information and evidence as might lead to
the discovery of the murderer or murderers (the first
portion of the placard setting forth that he is supposed
to have been murdered), and the Secretary of State
will advise the grant of her Majesty's gracious pardon
to any accomplice, not being the actual perpetrator of
the murder, who shall give such information and evi-
dence as shall lead to the same result.
WORSHIP STREET.
WILLIAM JONES AND TUE PALACH COURT.-Mr.
Robert Manning Knowles, an auctioneer and ap-
praiser, carrying on business in Great Cambridge-
street, llackney-road, appeared to a summons before
Mr. Arnold, to show cause why he unlawfully de-
tained a feather-bed, of the value of 81., the property
of William Jones, the working gunsmith, whose case
has recently attracted so much public sympathy and
attention.
It may be recollected, from the particulars that
had previously transpired in connexion with the case,
that on the occasion of the zeizure of the complainant's
goods, which he valued at fifty guineas, under a writ
of fieri facias issued by the Palace Court, for a debt
of 31. 18s. due to a loan society at Stepney, but
which was magnified by the costs of the proceedings
there to 91. ls., amongst the articles so taken was
the feather bed in dispute, which was removed with
the rest of the property to the defendant's ware-
rooms, where they were sold at auction, by the defendant
himself, within four day's afterwards ; but the com-
plainant, who personally attended the sale, on looking
over the lots, immediately afterwards discovered, as
he alleged, that instead of his own bed, another of a
very inferior description had been substituted in the
interim, and knocked down at 1/. 16s. He had since
made repeated efforts to procure the restitution of
his bed, or some satisfaction for its value, bat had
been wholly unsuccessful, and was, therefore, com-
pelled to adopt the present proceedings to enforce the
recovery.
The complainant now attended to give evidence in
support of the charge, but on entering the witness-box,
Mr. ARNOLD intimated that the terms of the statute
under which the summons was taken out precluded
him from receiving his testimony, and that he must
strictly confine himself to such secondary evidence as
he might be enabled to bring forward in reference to
the matter in dispute.
The complainant therefore called
Mrs. Sarah Slaith, his mother-in-law, a respect-
able-looking widow, living in Margaret-place, Gold-
smith's. row, Hackney, who stated that she was
hastily summoned, about the 3d of September, to her
son-in-law's house, on reaching which she found that
four of his rooms had been completely stripped of all
their furniture, with the exception of a few old chairs,
a small bed used by the children, and one or two
other articles, the whole of which were not worth
30s. The complainant's bed, which she had seen in
the house a few days previous, was amongst the
he goodso taken, and on attending with her sona
de-
fendant's auction-room immediately th e sale of his
things was over, he pointed out to her the bed
which had been sold as his own, and complained
that the latter had been substituted for it. He
requested her to examine the bed in question, as
she had made and stuffed Jones's bed herself, the
original value of which was at least ten guineas, and
she at once observed that it was greatly inferior in
quality, and of an altogether different appearance.
She also noticed the bolster and one of the pillows
were not her son-in•law's, but that the second pillow
was, and bore his name upon the case of it. She drew
the attention of the defendant to the substitution
which had been effected, but he stated that it was the
same which his servants had brought to his premises,
and told her that he considered it had fetched a good
price at 365. Even allowing for several years' wear,
Jones's bed was worth at least eight guineas at the
time it was taken under the execution, and if she had
been in want of such an article she would herself have
been glad to give six guineas for it, as it was exceed-
ingly well worth it.
Mr. Solomon Lazarus, a broker and furniture
dealer, in the Bethnal-green-road, proved attending
the sale of Jones's goods, part of which lie himself
bought, and that he heard the latter complaining of
his bed having been changed for another then in the
room, which was knocked down to the defendant's
