SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BIIRCHELL.)
CLARKE V. HUNT.

This was an action to recover the sum of 191. 19s. for
two sporting dogs, a retriever and setter.
Mr. CROUCH stated the case for the plaintiff, who is a
gamekeeper, and defendant is an attorney at Plymouth.
In July, 1846, defendant requested that two dogs should
be sent to him on approval. Defendant kept both dogs
till after September, when he wrote to say that ono did
not answer his expectations, but plaintiff insisted that
both were to be returned if not approved of, and they
ought to have been sent up much earlier than September,
as it became difficult to dispose of dogs at that season.
Defendant did not, however, send either dog back, but
one was sold to ply the expenses of his keep, as plaintiff
refused to take trim back.

Defendant paid 101. into Court.
Mr. D. Clarke, the plantift'a brother, was called, and
proved that detendant had agreed to give 191., and if he
did not approve of them, he was to pay the expenses ot
the carriage of the dogs both ways.
For the defence, it was contended that the contract
was that defendant should be at liberty to return either
or both. As regarded the length of time defendant kept
the dogs, it was stated that the earli,st day on which
the retriever could be tried was the Ist of September,
and before the 9th a letter was sent to plaintiff.
Several letters were put in, in which defendant said
he never would buy a dog on warrantry; and on trial it
was quite clear that the retriever would not fetch ot
carry anything more than a stick out of the water, and
knew nothing about birds.
Mr. Thomas Peter, a gentleman residing in Cornwall,
proved being out with defendant on the Ist September,
1846, when a dog was tried. It was not worth a penny.
It had not been trained as a retriever. He had had
thirty years experience as a sportsman.
The UNDER-SHF RIFF summed up, and left it to the
jury to say whether they placed full faith un the parol
t vidence of plaintiff's brother, or whether they felt more
confidence in the letters sent.

The jury, atter a short consultation, gave a verdict
for the plaintiff for 9/. 193.
This was the only ease tried.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

James Skinner and John IVebberstadt were charged
before Mr. Jardine, the hitter with stealing, and the tor-
mer with receiving a body coat, the property of Wm.
Winter.

It appeared, partly from the evidence of prosecutor,
and partly from the prisoner's own statement. that Web-
berstadt, who is a tailor, had received the coat from
prosecutor to alter, and had l•'nt it to Skinner in order
to enable him to pawn his own. When Winter applied
to W ebberstadt for the coat, the time having expire,
when it should have been tinishtd, he told him what he
had done, and added that Skinner could not return Win-
ter's coat till he had " got out" his own, which neither he
nor Webberstadt could do at present; but he (Winter).
might have the duplicate of Skinner's coat instead, if he
liked, which, of course, he declined.

Webberstadt, in defence, pleaded the extreme exigence
of Skinner's case as an excuse for lending him the coat
to enable him to pawn his own.
Mr. HALL—You were very generous with what was
not your own. You did not offer to lend him your OWD.
Prisoner—No, Sir, I couldn't spare it.
After some further discussion, it was agreed that the
coat should be immediately given up, and that Winter
should withdraw the charge.
The prisoners were accordingly discharged.
