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

This was an action to recover the sum of 191. 19s. for
two sporting► dogs, a retriever and setter.
Mr. Caoucrt stated the case for the plaintiff, who is a
gamelt(eper, 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 one did
not answer Nis 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 bocatne difficult to dispose of dogs at that season.
Defendant did not, however, send either dog back, but
one was sold to pay the expenses of his keep, as plaintiff
refused to take him back.

Defendant paid 101. into Court.
Mr. D. Clarke, the plaintiff's 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 of
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 ou warrantry; and on trial it
was quite clear that the retriever would not fetch or
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 spor:sman.
The UNDER-SHERIFF bummed up, and left it to the
jury to say whether they placed full faith on the parol
evidence of plaintiff's brother, ur whether they felt more
confidence in the letters sent.

The jury, after a short consultation, gave a verdici
for the plaintiff for 91. 19s.
This was the only ease tried.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
James Skinner and John 14'ebberstadt were charged
before Mr. Jardine, the latter with stealing, and the !or-
mer with receiving a body coat, the property of Wtn.
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 lent it to Skinner in order
to enable him to pawn his own. When Winter applied
to Webberstadt fur the coat, the time having expired
when it should have been finished, 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.
Air. HALL—You were very generous with whet was
not your own. You did not offer to lend him your own.
Prisoner—No, Sir, I couldn't spare it.
After some furth' r discussion, it was agreed that the
coat should be immediately given up, and that Winter i
should withdraw the charge.
The prisoners were accordingly discharged.
