WESTMINSTER SESSIONS, OCT. 15.

These sessions commenced this day before Mr.
Walesby and a full bench of Magistrates.
The calendar contains a list of forty-three prisoners,
thirty.seven of whom are charged with felonies, and the
remainder with assaults, misdemeanours, &c.
The Grand Jury having been sworn, the chairman
briefly explained to them the nature of the duties they
were called upon to discharge.
THE RIVALS—TRICKS OF TRADE.—EdWard Joseph
Hannam and Thomas Foley were indicted for assaulting
Richard Morris, and Hannam was also indicted for as-
saulting Jacob Morris.

Mr. C. PHILLIPS prosecuted. He said Messrs. J.
and J. Newman, who were well known and highly
respected, have for many years carried on the busi-
ness of brtists' colourmen in Seho-square, and they
formerly dealt with a person named Josephs for pencils,
but, being dissatisfied with the article he supplied, they
some months since discontinued their dealings with him,
and he in revenge opened a shop as an artists' colour-
man close to that of the Messrs. Newman. Not satis-
fied with that, be had printed bills placed in his windows
with the name of Newman on them, and by various
means induced the public to suppose that the business
carried on at his shop was that of Messrs. Newman
and Co. Mr. Josephs had one of his children baptized
by the name of Joseph Newman, and he also adver-
tised for a partner named Newman, and bad the name
Newman painted over his door. At length Messrs.
Newman received repeated complaints from persons
who had bought goods at Josephs' shop (under the
idea it was theirs) of the bad quality of the articles so
purchased, and they were under the necessity of making
an application to the Lord Chancellor for an injunc-
tion to restrain Mr. Josephs from continuing this sort
of conduct, which injunction his Lordship immediately
granted. Notwithstanding this Mr. Josephs had a
large circular brass plate put up in a conspicuous part
of the front of his premises in such a way as to attract
the attention-)f persons entering the square from Ox-
ford-street, on which, to those who viewed it from the
entrance to the square, appeared the name of Jos. New-
man only, and which was managed in an ingenious man-
ner. The following is a copy of the plate, one side
only of which was visible from the entrance to the
square :

" JOS/ EPH'S
NEW LY
Construe ted Pencil
MAN UFACTORY."
And by reading it straight down the name of " Jos.
Newman" appears, and that is all that can be read on
that side of the square. To read the whole plate one
must stand opposite to it. To prevent their customers
being deceived by this stratagem the Messrs. Newman
employed man to carry boards about opposite Josephs'
house, announcing that the " old original" colour ware-
house was ten doors further on. On the day in ques-
tion a lady who was an old customer of the Messrs.
Newman drove up in her carriage to the door of Josephs'
shop, upon whiph the prosecutor (one of their placard-
bearers) recognising her, said, "Do you want Messrs. New-
man's?" at the same time handing the lady one of their
cards. He had no sooner done so than the two defendants
(who were in the employ of Josephs) rushed upon him,
and after knocking him down, kicked and otherwise ill-
treated him. His brother came to his assistance, and
he also was struck by the defendant Hannam, and it
was for those two assaults that the defendants had now
to answer.

The prosecutor and other witnesses were examined,
and fully confirmed the statement made by the Learned
Counsel.

Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the jury for the defend-
ants, and characterised the whole case as a trumpery
dispute between rival tradesmen, which ought never to
have occupied the attention of the Court. He did not
call any witnesses.
The CHAIRMAN summed up the evidence, and the
jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
The COURT respited judgment on the defendants to
next Sessions, in order that in the meantime the prin-
cipals may come to some amicable arrangement as to
the manner in which they shall conduct their business
in future.
