WRIGHT V. JARVIS.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of
141. 16s. 9d., for rent of a house and shop in Ftd-
wood's-rents, Holborn.

The defendant pleaded the general issue.
The plaintiff' conducted his case in person, and
stated that the defendant had taken the premises at
the yearly rent of 401., and there having been two
quarter's rent in arrear, a distress was put in, but
only realised 51. 3s. 3d., and the action was brought
to recover.

A witness proved having called on the defendant
and demanded the rent, and telling him that unless
he paid the one quarter's rent before the next quarter
became due, a distress would be put in, but the rent
was not paid. After the rent was due, witness
offered, on behalf of the plaintiff, to allow defendant
to leave the house without any rent, but he said he
would not, but would " stick to the crib," and he was
still in possession.

The defendant said he did not dispute that the
amount was right, if they were right at all, but the
matter would not end here. The action ought to have
been brought in the county court.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said he could not entertain
that question ; the defendant must apply to the Court
above.
Verdict for 14/. 165. 9d.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)

HOR RY AND MS ALLEGED CLERK. Mr.

llorry having intimated a wish to the court to render
ome explanation with respect to certain observa-
tions which had been made on Thursday,
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said the court had DO
power to interfere with respect to the subject alluded
to by the Learned Counsel, but he thought it was due
to the gentlemen of the bar that he should hear amy
observations Mr. Horry might choose to make with
respect to his knowledge of the transaction.
The Learned COUNSEL then went on to state, at
great length, that on his way here from the Old
Bailey, the woman Denny was introduced to him,
when she said she wanted him to defend her son, amd
showed him what she thought were the depositions,
but which was only the warrant of committal. He
waited some time in court for the case, and not find-
ing it upon the list, he made some in-
quiries, and found it was a case in cus-
tody. From what he heard, he concluded
that the case had been disposed of, and
he went back to the Old Bailey, where he had
been only a few minutes when Flanagan came in with
some papers, and said Mrs. Denny's son was in the
dock, and he (Mr. Horry) told him it was useless to
return, as the case had been tried the evening before,
and Denny must have been only called up for judg-
ment. With respect to the observation made upon
the subject of the woman calling upon hina on Satur-
day, he should say that when she came she was ac-
companied by the same female who was with her at
the Sessions House, when he explained to Airs.
Denny that the person who had received the four
half-crowns from her was not his clerk ; upon which
the other woman said, "I must do justice to all
parties, Mr. Flanagan said nothing at all about being
your clerk."

The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said he did not wish at all
to interfere with the statement of the Learned
Counsel, but he thought a few concise answers to
what he should ask the Learned Counsel would be
the best course. He should take the liberty of ask-
ing the Learned Counsel whether Flanagan was his
clerk or not?
Mr. lionar—Most certainly not. _

The ASSISTANT-JUDGE—DO you know whether
Flanagan received 10s. from the woman in the way
described?

Mr. HORRY—I have no knowledge whatsoever
upon the subject.
The ASSISTAINT-JUDGE—Did any portion of that
I Os. ever find its way into your pocket?
Mr. HORRY—Assuredly not—not one fraction
of it.

ri.l_ A
The iiSSISTANT.JUDGE—Did you take the brief
with the fee of 105. ?

—• •
Mr. HORR Y—No ; I did not.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE—And afterwards put it
in Your pocket without doing anything for it?
Mr. lioaay—Nothing of the kind.
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE—Then the whole case, so
far as you are concerned, personally resolves itself
into this :—that a person came to you to defend a
prisoner, which you di o, because you thought
the case had been triedbefore.
Mr- HoßßY—That is the whole case, my Lord.
Mr. lorry was about addressingwhen the Court further,
The ASSISTANT4IMGE said he ht the matter
might be safely allowed to drop now thou
after the Learned
Counsel's replies.
The Usher of the Court said that Flanagan inva-
riably represented himself to the officer of the Court
and others as Mr. lorry's clerk.
such The ASSISTANT J lorry denies that
is the case.
The matter then dropped, and the Court proceeded
to try felonies, none of which were of any general i
interest.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
THE LATE GAMBLING CAsE.--Andrew William
Barr, Charles Brewer, and Samuel Ralphs, who were
remanded to this day from this day week, on the
charge of conspiring to defraud Mr. S. Julius Carey,
by foul play at cards, were brought up for final exa-
mination this morning.
Mr. Ballantine was not at present prepared with
any further evidence. He proposed that the prisoners
should be committed for trial at once, but, if neces-
sary, should be brought up again in the mean time, as
the sessions would not commence till the 22d inst.
