The defendant took the first floor in complainant's
house as sale rooms for his living wares,
but without the landlord's permission he drove
staples, wall-hooks, and door-nails into the ornamental
wood-work of the hail and passage, to suspend there-
from the cages of his various birds, reptiles, and other
animals. He also placed a man at the door to invite the
attention of the passers by to his zoological curiosities,
and thus made the passage his own, to the great annoy-
ance of the other tenants, and what Mr. Price considered
still more grievous, to the effect of preventing other
parts of the premises from being let.
Mr. Teague, the chief clerk, said that the Court
could not relieve Mr. Price in respect to the
latter part of his complaint, and as to the alleged
trespass, that did not come within the meaning of the
Act, as the holdfasts, hooks, and nails, were driven into
the door, at least under the colour of a right, and the
only remedy must bo by an action. Mr. Alderman
Johnson added that it was unreasonable to let the place
to the man for the purpose of carrying on his business,
and yet prevent him from making the necessary use of
the premises.

Air. Price was proceeding to give a long statement of
wrongs, when the Magistrate interrupted him by dis-
missing the case.

BOW-STREET.

Francis Edward Col'yer, a young man of about 21
}ors of age, was charged with stealing 441. in notes and
gold, the property of his employer, Mr. Woods, of 42
Southampton-buildings.

The prosecutor said that the prisoner had been for
some years in his service as a messenger, but occasionally
employed as a clerk. On the 22d he (witness) missed
four bank-notes, one for 201., one fur 101, and two for
5/., and 41. in gold, from a drawer in which he usually
kept money. He gave information to the police imme-
diately. lle had since seen the 201. note, which had been
paid into the Bank of England ; it was endorsed " J. R.
Wells, No. 1, George-street, Walworth," (there being no
such place), and the endorsement was in the prisoner's
hand-writing.
Mr. Isaac Samuels, an assistant to Mr. llyam, the
tailor, of Gresham-street, said that on the 22d of De-
cember the prisoner " entered Mr. Hymn's establishment
in company with two ladies," and bought a suit of
clothes for 21. 10s., giving a 201. note in payment. The
cashier received the note and gave the prisoner the
change. The note had since been paid into the Batik.
Sergeant Pocock, F 14, took the prisoner into cus-
tody. He said nothing. 41. in gold was found on him.
The prisoner said that he could give evidence to show
that he could not have been at Ilyams, in Gresham-
street, on the day mentioned, and asked the witness,
Samuels, what time it was when he saw him?
_ _

The witness replied between half-past eleven and half-
past twelve.
The prisoner said that at that time he vas at the
Bankruptcy Court with Mr. Walters (to whom Mr.
Woods is clerk).

Mr. Woods said that the prisoner and Mr. Walters
did go to the Bankruptcy Court together, but it was
much later in the day. It was past one when the pri-
soner first came to his house, and he appeared very
much excited. It was after that he went to the Court.
The prisoner said that he could account for his time
from eleven o'clock, when he was signing a declaration at
the Judges' Chambers on the day in question.
The prisoner was remanded till Tuesday next, as
Pocock said that by that day he would be able to com-
plete the case.
