Mr. Bodkin—Then I suppcsa you will discharge him

Sneezuin, sett., accompanied by his solicitor, then
presented himself to Mr. Jardine. •
The solicitor said that Mr. Sneezuin had come forward
for the purpose of denying the assertions made by his
nephew on Thursday (the particulars of which we pub-
lished yesterday).
Mr. JARDINE said he would have nothing further to do
with the matter.

The Solicitor—The statement is false from beginning
to end.

Mr. Sneezum—Totally false. My nephew is an un-
certificated bankrupt, and has nothing whatever to do
with the busine3s except as my servant.
The Solicitor—You merely employed him from motives
of charity ? Mr. Sna•nun—Yes, to keep him. from
starving,.

The Solititor—And you mean to discharge him? Mr.
Sneezum—Yes, immediately.
The solicitor produced a large packet of documents in
proof of the statement \which he wished to read, but
Mr. JARDINE sail—You have another oltieet in view
in taking this CjUntie. You are now addressing yourself
to other persons, and not to me. Whatever disputes
have arisen between Mr. Snuezum and his nephew must
be settled between themselves elsewhere, and not here.
I will not allow this Court to be made the means of get-
ting reports surreptitiously into the newspapers, to an-
swer private purposes, which twidenay your object.
You have been addressing yourself to those gentlemen
(alluding to the reporters), and not to the Court. I have
not the least reason to complain. of them, because they
have a right to r. port eyerything that takes place here.
There is no question before me now, and I can hear no
more of the matt::r.

Mr. Sneezmn —May I be allowed to ask a question ?
Mr. JARDIN 1: ; I have nothing more to do with it.
The subject then dropped.

Q UEEN-SQUARE.

On Friday .Bridget Driscoll, a poor woman, who sells
fruit in the neighbourhood of Whitehall, was placed at
the bar, charged with appropriating to her own use a 51.
note, which she on \Vednesday last found in the street,
and which turned out to be the property of Mr. Richard
Hall, a boot and shoe-maker, residing at No. 9, Greek-
street, Soho.
Inspector Moran, of the B division, stated, that in con-
sequence of information which he had received from the
complainant, he proceeded to the lodging of the defend-
ant, in Laundry-yard, Peter-street, Westminster, and on
questioning her, she at once admitted that she had on
Wednesday found a 51. note on the foot-pavement
in Whitehall, and not knowing what it was she show-
ed it to a shopkeeper in Westminster, who told her
its value, and advised her to say nothing about it, at
the - same time of Bring to give her a sovereign for
it. She refused to accent his offer, and he then told
her she could get it changed at any shop over the water,
by purchasing such articles as she- wanted, and if ques-
tioned, she had better give a false name and address.
She accordingly went to Gotha-house, WestminfAer-road,
where she purchased a pair of blankets and some other
articles, giving, as she had been advised to do, a fa'sa
name and address. She produced 195., which she said
was all that remained of the money, having lost a sove-
reign, and expended the rest in a manner which she
could not account Air. He proceeded to Gotha-house,
and found the note to be that lost by Mr. Hall's servant
on the day in question.
Mr. Hall came forward, and said that he did not wish
to be put to the trouble of prosecuting, and would there-
fore feel satisfied on receiving- the money found, and the
purchased articies from the defendant's lodgings.
The poor woman, in her defence, stated that she was
a widow, and in great distress, and thought herself
lucky in finding a stun of money, which would enable
her to procure some warm covering for the winter. -
Mr. GREGORY acceded to the complainant's offer, and
the defendant was discharged.
