• BURRELL V. MADERLY.
In this case, the facts of which we gave at length yes-
terday, his Lordship gave judgment, declaring that the
children of the cousin, who had died in the life-time of
the widow of testator, took by substitution, and
were therefore entitled to take a due proportion of tlieir
parents' share.

VICE-CHAD UElt HIS DAY.)

MIDDLESEX St. SSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(I3,fore the ASSISTANT-JUDGE )
The March adjourned sesitins were c inwenced t
morning, at the Ceurt-h,,use, Clerk, nwell green. The
calendar is containing but sixty names. The
Judge did, essed the grand jury with the usual charge.
The sentences were then passed in several deterred cas,s.
and a number of trials, of no posibln interest, were dis-
posed of in the course of the morning.
William Curtis, aged 20, was indicted for stealing a
half- crown piece, the property of Mary Hunter Mayo,
stealing a sixpence, the property of Laura Bond, and
stealing the suns of Eevenpenee, the moneys of Charles
Driscott. Toe case of the half crown was first taken,
in which it appeared that on the evening of the Sth of
March, the prosecutrix was walking with some friends
in Eeclestone-street, Belgrave square, when the prisoner,
who was hawking prints about the streets, followed
her, and teased her to buy a lot, which he offered
to sell for sixpence. She repeatedly refused to purchase,
but at length she consented to buy the lot of them for
sixpence, if the prisoner could give her change of half.a-
crown. He said he could do so; but, on receiving the
coin, he refused to give her either the change or the
prints, insisting that she had bargained to buy a dozen
of the priws for three shillings, and he must have one
shilling nitre for them. She never had the prints in her
hands; he refused to let her have them. She had agreed
to purchase, and, while the altercation was proceeding,
a gentleman who had witnessed the transaction gave the
prisoner into custody.
The facts were not materially affected by the prisoner's
defence.

The ASSISTANT JUDGE said this was what was called
constructive taking, and the jury would have to consider
whether the prisoner really meant to make a bona fide
sale, or, under the pretence of selling, extort as much as
he could from the lady. He (the Judge) had looked
over the prints, which were common trumpery thi,gs,
really worth nothing, and instead of being twelve differ-
ent prints in a set, they were nearly all on the same
subject, or copies of the same engraving.
The jury found him Guilty.
The other cases against the prisoner were of a similar
character; but
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said that it was not worth
while to try him on the other indictments. In both the
cases he had obtained the money as in this one, and had
refused to give the prints. His Lordship then called a
police constable, who said that live years ago the prisoner
had been pursuing the same course in the same neigh-
bourhood. The Judge sentenced him to imprisonment,
with hard labour, for three months, but the next time of
conviction he should be transported.
