SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
LOW v. SMITH.
This was an action to recover the sum of 141. the
balance of the value of two cows, alleged to have been
sold by plaintiff, who is a cattle-salesman, to defendant,
a co" keeper and dairyman. The original price was 34/.
but 20/. was admitted to have been paid on account.
Mr. Edward Low, brother to the plaintiff, proved
that he was present at the time of the sale fur the sum
named.

In cross-examination by Mr. CusatiocK, he said
that there was some allowance made for a cow which
had been sold on a arrantry, but had turned out bad,
but he could not say that it was to go off this amount.
Mr. CIIARNOCE said that he must admit that the de-
fendant had misconceived his right, which was to have
brought a cross-action, and could not urge the unsound-
ness of other cattle as a set-off.—Verdict for plaintiff.
BOLDING V. WOMBWELL,
This was an action to recover the sum of N., the price
of a horse.
The facts of the case were these:—The plaintiff agreed
with defendant to take a horse for 71. 10s., but if the
plaintiff did not approve of it, and returned it within a
week, defendant undertook to return 74, reserving los.
for trouble. The horse did not suit, and was sent back,
but defendant refused to repay the 71.
A witness who was called to prove the agreement said
the mare was warranted sound, but defendant said he
would take it back if defendant did not like it. De-
fendant, after he had put the horse in the stable, said he
expec ed he should have it back again. Witness said it
was " groggy" and bra ien• winded—indeed it was a re-
gular screw.---(Laughter.)
Thomas DeNbury said he was present when defendant
warranted the mare. Defendant said it was as nice a
little mare as plaintiff could have, and was as sound as a
fish.

The UNDER-SHERIFF—What fish—a roach?
Witness was present after the deal, and defendant
said " We are sale to have her back again, but she won't
take any harm, as Mr. Bolding's keep will do her good."
It was a pretty-looking thing, but in reality was very
bad indeed—as bad as could be.
In cross-examination, he said that plaintiff said he
thought the horse was thick-winded, but defendant war-
ranted it of course because he wanted to sell it; that was
natural enough. It was not his business to say anything
to Bolding, but he did not recommend it. Defendant
said it was a little thick-winded, as it had slept out in
the field and caught cold.
The UNDER-SHERIFF—That is a standing excuse, is
it not? Witness—Yes. I should say it myself if I
wanted to sell. I should do the best I could for my-
self.—(Laugbter.)
Thomas Yolland, a plumber, &c., in West-street,
Somers-town, proved that defendant admitted that he
ought to have returned the 7Z, but he said he did not
make a practice of returning money, or he should have
all the farmers in Whetstone after him. Witness re-
commended Golding to buy of defendant He (wit-
ness) had heard of other cases like this, but he still
dealt with defendant, and would recommend him, as he
considered defendant might not know all the horses as
he bought at fairs. Witness had bought 100 horses of
him in five years, as he had kept cabs. Cab-horses
varied from 3/. to 151. or 16/.
The defendant's solicitor said he was afraid that he
could not offer any deft nee, as he was very imperfectly
instructed, and defendant who had promised to bring
witnesses, was not present.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said the plaintiff's case had been
fully made out, it the jury believed the witnesses, and
he tiid not well see why they should not if they were
tmeontradicted.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

ALBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
John Hatton was brought before Mr. Bingham,
charged with having enibb.zzted several sums of money,
received by him for and on account of his employer,
Mr. Edwin Lee, confectioner, Sidney-alley, Leieester-
square.
The prosecutor stated that on the 22d of September
be sent the prisoner with goods to the amount of 11. ss.
to a customer of his, named Mitchell, in Lamb street,
Spite!fields Before the prisoner left, witness gave him
a bill and receipt, with strict directions, in case he did
not get the money, to tear the receipt from the bill and
leave the latter with the goods. When the prisoner
returned he said he had seen Mr. Mitchell, who wished
the same quantity of goods to be sent in a week, when he
would pay both the bills. On Saturday last witness
sent some more goods by the prisoner, amounting to
11. 10s., making with the goods previously sent 2L 15s.
With these goods he gave the prisoner a bill and receipt
for both amounts. The receipt was so written that the
prisoner could not tear it off without tearing the bill,
which witness directed the prisoner to bring back, in
case he failed in getting the money. On his return he
told witness that Mr. Mitchell was not at home, and he
had been foolish enough to leave the bill. Witness on
hearing this reprimanded the prisoner, and thought no
more of the matter ; but on the prisoner absconding
from his employ on the following day, witness called
upon Mr. Mitchell, who, in reply to his inquiries, said
he bad paid the prisoner when he delivered the goods.
Witness saw nothing more of him till last night, when he
gave him in charge.
The prisoner was remanded till Saturday.

THE MYSTERTE3(;;YIn addition to its
pictures of country life, the
new story, entitled "The
Lord of the Manor," contains some extraordinary reve-
lations of the " sayings and doings" in our great metro-
polis. The leading personage in the drama is a certain
Jew quack doctor, who, having for his confederates his
wily wife and no less wily daughters, contrives to live
en Prince, in a mansion splendidly appointed, with a
goodly retinue of servants. Once within. the physician's
tangle circle—" like that of the fiend in Der Frieschutz
----his victim (some wealthy or noble person, in all pro-
bability, of the weaker sex) vainly endeavours to escape
from his toils. This Jew doctor is stated to be a per-
t.r,ait drawn from real life. If so, it may be predicted
Pu'"at he aill not pursue his professional career with iin-
llitY; albeit, he may long be permitted to "strut and
fret
his hour upon the stage," for "The Lord of the
'ince is to be dramatized immediately.
