SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.
(Before Mr. Under• Sheriff BURCHELL.)
MOO RE V. CAMPELLL.
The plaintiff in this action is a baker in the Vassal'
road, Brixton; the claim was for 101. Bs. 4d. for goods
sold.
The defendant pleaded coverture, and in support of
the plea called defendant's brother, named Beulter, who
snore that he was present at the marriage of his sister at
Bawtry, in Yorkshire, in 1809, to a Mr. William
Duncan Campbell, and that he was still alive. Witness
could not tell where he resided. Defendant had not lived
with him for some years, and she had a separate income
of 2001. per annum.
In cross-examination he said he could not remember
whether or not he gave his sistereitway. He had not got
a certificate.
A juror said that he could not believe that a man did
not remember such a circumstance.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said it was not improbable that
a man might forget, after a lapse of 40 years, but if he
intended to commit deliberate perjury, he might imme-
diately have said at once that he had given her away,
but it was entirely a question for the jury •
The jury found for defendant.
PAYNE V. MAGSON.
PAYNE, ADMINISTRATOR, V. MAGSON.
The first was an action to recover the sum of 1061. for
money lent, and the second, as administrator of his father,
;.o recover 331. 4s. 3d. for goods sold. The plaintiff is a
brassfounder in Shoe-lane, and defendant a brass finisher.
The case was wholly devoid of interest, and a verdict was
given for plaintiff in each case.
THE TITHE COMMISSIONERS OF ENGLAND AND WALES
V. HARDEN.
This was an action brought by the Tithe Commis-
sioners of England and Wales, to recover of the defen-
dant, who is a tithe valuer, the sum of 181. 18s. for the
engrossments of the apportionments of the rent charge
in lieu of tithes, under the Tithe Commutation Act. It
appeared that the copies were ordered by defendant for
the Hamlet of Catcut, and the parish of Woolhavington,
in the county of Somerset. Defendant's excuse to the
Commissioners was, that he could not get in the money
from the landholders, and he requested the Commis-
sioners to assist him in enforcing the payment. He had,
however. given the orders, and promised to pay.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.
11.11 Vita v r.;.111 -.0 xi x DAY.
This morning the Court resumed its sittings.
IN RE CHARLES HUSK.
The insolvent, who had been in partnership with
James Scott Boyce, as meat salesmen in Newgate Mar-
ket, applied to be discharged.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLips expressed his surprise at
the schedule filed by this insolvent. He owed 480/., and
had owing to him as much as 2,170/.
Mr. NICHOLS, who supported the insolvent, said it was
as stated, but as the insolvent could not get in his ac-
counts, he could not pay what he owed.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS thought the insolvent
might have got in some of his debts; they were greatly
beyond the debts he owed.
The insolvent was asked about some of the debts, and
it appeared that he could not get the money. In one
case he took law proceedings, and the result was, that he
had only to pay some law expenses.
Mr. NicHoLs was of opinion that the officer of the
Court (Mr. Wiggins) could collect the money for the
creditors.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS—If the schedule is cor-
rect, there is more than 20s. in the pound for the
creditors.
No creditor gave himself the trouble to apply for the
assigneeship.
The insolvent was discharged.
IN RE JAMES SCOTT BOYCE.
This insolvent, partner of the above, was the next
applicant. His schedule was nearly the same, and a
hope was expressed that the creditors would be paid
in full.
Lle was discharged.

Won by four lengths.
GRAND HEAT.

BLOOMSBURY COUNTY COURT
(THIS I)AY.)
HARTEG V. REEDING.-BAD MONEY. _

The plaintiff, in this action, sought to recover of James
Reed, a newsvender, the sum of 2s. 6d., under the fol-
lowing circumstances :
Having been sworn, the plaintiff said that on the day
of the Epsom races, he entered the defendant's shop to
purchase a copy of the Evening Sun, to ascertain the
result of the races. The newspaper was given to him,
and in payment he tendered half a sovereign, but before
he had received his change, some other gentleman pur-
chased an Evening Sun, for which he gave half-a-crown,
and received the difference, before plaintiff, to whom
9s. 7d. was afterwards returned, amongst which was a
oad halfcrown, the coin (he believed) that the defend-
ant had taken from the second purchaser. The plaintiff
placed the money in his pocket, without examining it,
and he did not discover that the halfcrown was bad until
the Tuesday following. The coin bad not been out of
his possession during the whole time.
The defendant said he could not be liable, as he did
not believe that the halfcrown produced in Court was
the same he had given to him in change.
Mr. DUBOIS (the Judge)—Lle has positively sworn
that it is the same, and I must credit his statement, in
preference to what you believe.
The defendant—Yes; but I don't see that.—(Laughter
in Court.) Consider for one moment how unprotected a
tradesman would be ; any person who had a base coin
might swear that.
Mr. Durnois—But the law will not allow you to pass
bad money, and it is not probable that any person would
commit perjury, and risk tramportation for half-a-crown.
They would begin at a sovereign.— (Great laughter.)
The defendant was then ordered to pay the amount
claimed, and was about to quit the Court with the bad
halfcrown,• when Mr. Wright, the Clerk of the Court,
requested the loan of it for one moment, to test whether
or not it was silver.
The coin was handed back to the defendant in two
pieces.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Joseph Marshall was placed before Mr. Bingham,
charged with being fourd in the pantry of the residence
of Anthony Pereira, Esq., No. 7, Park-crescent, Regent's-
park, with intent to commit a felony.
.Langton Butler, a footman in the service of com-
plainant, stated, that having occasion to enter the pantry
at nine o'clock this morning, he was surprised to find the
prisoner standing near the plate chest, containing up-
wards of 5,000/. worth of silver plate. Witness asked
him what he wanted there? The prisoner replied that
he merely called to know if they had any bottles to sell.
Witness, who was not satisfied with the prisoner's ex-
planation, detained him till the butler came, who searched
the prisoner and looked over the plate, but found nothing
missing or on the prisoner. Witness, at the request of
the butler, went for a constable, who took the prisoner
into custody.
The prisoner, in defence, said he was a hawker of
bottles, and called in the way of business at No. 7, Park-
crescent. He was an honest man, and worked hard for
his living, and denied the imputation of intending to
commit a felony.
Mr. BINGHAM said his answer to the charge did not
satisfy him; ho must, therefore, remand him till Satur-
day next.
