piecemral upon it. He tiougat they ought to pause
in their legislation, for he did not think that prot:,et'nn
would be of any use ; patterns would be so closely copied,
yet with a marked disikw.ian, that in fact the rc-
prietor would not be hi-ne&ed. He certaiely should
prefer the shol-tw period.
Mr. GODSON wisliel to set the Hon. Member
right as to the decision of the Committee in favour of
the Extension of Copyright. The resolution was
carried not by a majority of one but of seven to one.
Mr. EWART explained.

Mr. MUNTZ was surprised to hear from the Hon.
Member for Manchester, that the protection was
useless to the inventors, whereas the fact was, that the
most enterprising manufacturers in the country owed
all their wealth to the protection, such as it was, that
the present law afforded to them. He would support
the Bill, because he thought it was both just and pru-
dent for the Legislature to give that degree of protec
tion which would induce ingenious men to devote their
time to she inv-ntion or desigw.
Mr. E. TENNENT would not occupy the time of
the House by discussing the pririciple of the Bill on
this occasion. Ho would be happy to avail himself of
the offer of the Vice-President of the Board of 'frade,
and to malty., with the Right Hon. Gcneeman's as-
sistance, the provisions of the measure as perfect and
comprehensive as possible.
The Bill was then read a second time.
Mr. E. TENNENT said, that the amendments
suggested by the Vice-President of the Board of Trade
would require much consideration, and he should
therefore move the committal of the Bill pro forma on
Friday night next, when he would give notice of his fur-
ther intentions respecting the promet;en of the measure,

w,-re tried, and the Court, having tonAuled the Lusiness on
the criminal side, rose at an early hour.

HOME CHICUIT—Hrr.TroRD, MAncrr 3.
The Cernmi,sien of A<,s.ze for the e ,unto of Hr its
opened this day at the Shire Hall. Mr. Baron Parke arr:,-,-d
in the town, escorted by the Sheriff and the usual cal—,
about twa o'clock, and haring attended divine servke at Sr.
Andrew's church, he proceeded to open the Commission.
The calendar is not only unusually heavy, but the charges
are aho of a serious character. A number of causes are not
down for trial ; the complete cause list is not yet made up.
Both Courts proceed to business this morning at ten o'clock.
Lord Denman will preside in the Crown Court, and Mr. Baron
Parke at Nisi Prius.

that he Nvi,lied they might get Captain Loose there, but he
was quite sure he would not go, he had not even gone to settle
his insurance for his own chronometer. I after wards saw
Pstriek in an office which he had in Crosby-hall Chambers. I
ack !du if he had seen Captain Loose; and he said he was
not in London ; this was about a week ater the last conversa-
tion.. He said he wished he was in London, for he would give
him a ship directly, he was a very clever fellow, and deserve d
all he had got, for he had done th Dryad's job very clean. I
said he must have been well paid if he had done so. He
Laughed, and said a thousand or two, that was all. I recollect
when the prisoner was taken into custody on 27th November,
I saw him at the Mansion-house, and asked him what was the
meaning of it ;- he said it was the Dryad. I s lid
then my suspicions all along had been correct. He
said it was a bad job, but I need not fear, because I was only
the agent, but he was afraid he should be transported. I sad
why should you fear that, you were not master of the ship.
lie said, Oh ! the goods were never on board. There are
papers in the house which will prove me guilty. I had been
taken into custody at this time. The conversation was about
five minutes before we went up before the Lord Mayor. I
saw hins several times while he was in custody. Going back
in the coach he told Roe, the officer, he should be after his
brother, as lie was the rogue ; all he had done was for him.
1 do not believehe would have been in this scrape except for
ha brother.
The examination in chief of the witness being concluded the
Court adjourned for refreshment at two o'clock, before going
into the cross examination.
The Court re-assembled at half-past two, velen Mr. PHIL-
LIPS proceeded with the cross-examination of the witness
Stott—lt was about three weeks after the conversation relating
to Zulieta that prisoner was taken up. I was taken up at the same
time. Mr. Phillips, jun., was in the room at the Mansion-house
when the conversation took place ; he interrupted us, and told
me I must not speak to him. Almost all his conversations
were in a jocular manner. I told him that I had heard of
ships being sent out on purpose to be lost, and I asked him
if the Dryad was one of those. He became exceedingly in-
dignant, anal threasened to kick me out of the room. I
missed him from London about July last. He told me he
was absent at St. Petersburgh on business.
Mr. Ps-fumes—Did you sutppose there was anything wrong
in this young man about this business ?
Witness--I thought there was something very curious about
it, but I did not suspect any fraud. His brother was taken
up about three weeks after Patrick was in his custody. I saw
his sisters in the ante-room at the Mansion-house the day I
was there last, but had no conversation with them.
Re-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I never had
any difference with Patrick Wallace.
Mr. Michael Wills—l am Secretary of the Neptune In-
surance Company. The policy produced was effected with
that Company on the ship Dryad and her outfit for 2,700/. 1
am the subscribing witness to its execution. It is signed by
Michael Wallace. I am the subscribing witness to another
policy, dated 17th August same year, for the chartered freight
of the Fame ship on the same voyage, from Liverpool to Santa
Cruz, for 7001. lam also the subscribing witness to a third
policy, dated 21st August, 1839, for 687/. for goods shipped on
board the same vesel, for 33 tierces of beef, 43 barrels of
pork, 35 firkins of butter, and 30 crates of earthenware. The
bill of lading is the one which was produced or paying the
loss. There was a total loss paid on the three policies. Ido
not know the writing of the body of the bill of lading.
Mr. Stott recalled—Swore the bill of lading was in Patrick
Wallace's writing.
Mr. Wills's examination continued—The cheques produced
are those by which I paid the sums claimed. Before they were
finally settled the office required a letter of indemnity. The
letter produced was given in respect of the goods. The in-
surance on the goods was effected by Linder and Hall, and
that on the ship and freight by Selden and Johnson. I received
two letters of indemnity, one from each party. (Ur. Stott
proved that the body of the one received from Selden and John-
son was written by Mr. Selden, and signed by Mr. Wallace.
The one from Linder and Hall, Stott could not swear to the
Handwriting of the body, but the signature was Patrick Wal-
lace's writing.) The papers produced are the slips produced at
the office on which the policies were prepared.
Thomas Johnson examined by Mr. Bonxisr—l am a ship
and insurance broker, in partnership with Mr. Selden • I ef-
fected the policies produced in the Neptune for Michael Wal-
lace. I did not see him personally on the subject. I received
the letters produced in the course of these transactions. I be-
lieve them to he Michael Wallace's hand-writing. I have
never seen him write, but have corresponded with him. (The
letters were put in and read; they were ordering the witness
to effect insurances in any of the Companies except the Ma-
rine and Lloyd's on the Dryad, and her chartered freight out
and home.) The papers pr, duced are the slips by which the
policies wore effected by our firm. My partner received the
amount of the policies as for a total less, by desire of Michael
Wallace on the sth February, 1840. I received the total
amount. The check now produced is in my partner's hand-
writing ; it is signed on the back by Michael S. Wallace, and
is for the total amount less our commission and premium.
Mr. Robert Selden—l am the partner of the last witness.
The cheque produced is in my hand-writing. I delivered it to
Michael Wallace.
Henry Hall—l am in partnership with Mr. Linder as ship
brokers. The policy produced was effected in the Neptune
by us, by the order of Patrick Wallace. I made out my slip
f.-r the purpose of taking to the Neptune from the slip handed
to me by Patrick Wallace. I have not Patrick Wallace's slip
in my possession. I afterwards made a claim as for a total
less, by Patrick Wallace's directions. The day after effecting
the insurance with the Neptune, I effected an insurance
with the Mutual Indemnity Marine Assurance Company by the
directions of Michael Wallace. I afterwards claimed for a tidal
loss by the direction of Patrick Wallace, who gave me the bill
of lading produced, which refers to the Neptune. Oa 29th Ja-
nuary, 1840, I received the letter produced, signed by Michael
Wallace, directing us to pay the money received from the Mu-
tual to his brother Patrick. He received the money from the
Mutual, and paid Mr. Wallace 500/. on account about 29th
January. On sth February, 1 received the amount from the
Neptune, and gave to Mr. Linder, jun., our clerk, a cheque
for 7001. It is the one produced. I gave it him to pay to the
prisoner. That was on account of the balance due on both po-
lices.

Mr. W. Stuart—l am the subscribing witness to the policy
produced. It is executed by two of our directors, Mr. W. As-
tell and Mr. G. Hibbert, directors of the Mutual Company.
(It was executed 22d August, 1839, for freight of Dryad from
Liverpool )
Mr. Oliver Thomas Linder—l am a clerk to Linder and
Hall, ship-brokers. I received from Mr. Hall the cheque pro-
duced for 7001., to be paid to the pri,oner Patrick W. llace.
I paid it to him, a-id he indorsed it in my presence. The
cheque for 5001. was paid in our counting-house to the pri-
soner, Patrick Wallace. The body of the letter of ihdemnity
produced- is in my writing. It was signed in my presened by
Patrick Wallace.
Mr. Francis Lewis Philip Secretun—l am an underwriter
on the policy produced for 3004
Mr. S. Marshall—l am an underwriter upon the policy
produced for 700/. There are fourteen other underwriters to
the same polic.l-.
Mr. Lodge—l am Secretary to the Marine Assurance Com-
pany, and am subscribing witness to a policy subscribed by two
of our Directors, and effected on the ship Dryad for 2,0001. In
January 1840, a claim was made for a total loss, which was
adjus'ed on Bth of the same month, with Howding and Ains-
lie, by paying them a cheque for 1,411/. 195., being the
balance due to them after deducting our account against them
fur premiums.

Mr. Charles Bahr—l am in partnership with Mr. Beherens,
at Liverpool. We are ship and insurance brokers. The
policy- produced was effected by our firm for Mr. Michael
Wa lace. I saw him at Liverpool on the subject. Ido n•,t,
recollect whether I ever saw Capia'n Loose. He was at our
office. Ido not know if Michael Wallace was there at the
time. 1 claimed under that policy as for a total loss in
January 1840. I received 5001. on the policy. It is for 6501.
It is 5001. on the ship Dryad, and 1501. on the Captain's effects.
We paid the 5001. we had received to Michael Wallace. We
claimed the 1501. Captain's insurance by desire of Mr. Wallace.
It ss as not paid. Michael Wallace told us to insure 150/. on
the master's effects. In consequence of some inquiries, I gave
the policy up.
Cross.examined by Mr. PHILLIPS—We did not press the
claim for the Captain's effects.

Mr. Frost—Knows Capt. Loose's handwriting. The signature
i to the bill of lading produced is in Capt. Loose's handwriting.
Peter Kelly—l was a clerk in the employment of Zuiieta.
and Co. I entered their employment in IS3I. They carried
on business in Liverpool and London. I belonged to the Li •
verpool establishment upwards of nine years. They were ex-
porters of goods to Cuba. I recollect their freighting the brig
Dryad in 18.39. I was the shipping clerk. I saw the Dryad
lying in St. George's Dock, at Liverpool. I then became ac-
quainted with Capt. Loose, as the maser of the Dryad. I was
on board her from time to time. I knew Michael Wallace as
part owner of the vessel, and saw him at Liverpool while
she was loading. I never saw him on board the Dryad.
He requested me to despatch the vessel—that was in
August, 1839. I saw him two or three times. The
ship was advertised fur Cuba. No goods offered for her
except Zulieta's goods. I saw the goods on board that they
sent on board. 'the bill of I ding is the one for those goods
it was made according to my direction, and contains the whole
of the goods shit ped by Zulieta and Co. We were about a week
putting the goods on board. She lay close to the Quay.
The goods were sent in carts and barges to the Dryad.
They were all on board on the sth of September.
I was on board the Dryad after they were shipped. I do not
know of any other goods being on board. If there had been
several tierces of beef and pork, crates of earthenware, cases
of flannel, firkins of butter, and cases of cotton goods I might
have seen them. I did not see any other goods besides those
mentioned in the bill of lading of Zulieta and Co. I was last
' on board a day or two before she sai'ed, and I did not at that
time see anv goods on board but those belonging to Zulieta
and Co. If goods had offered according to the course of
practice they could not have gone on board without an order
from the consignees, Zulieta and Co. They had the whole of
the vessel outwards. It was part of my duty to see that no
other goods were put on board. If I had seen any other goods it
would have been my duty to have named it. Neither Michael
Wallace nor Captain Looe ever applied to me to take any
goods on board. I do not think the goods and pro-
visions you have mentioned would occupy a very large
space. Earthenware would occupy a very large space. Beef,
pork, and butter wou,d not occupy a space anything like
earthenware. Eighty crates of earthenware would occupy
a space of eighty tons. The whole with beef and pork
might occupy 90 tons of space. I scarcely think 90 tons of
goods could have been on board the Dryad in addition to Zu-
lieta's goods without my perceiving it.
By the JUDGE—The tonnage of the ship was 204 tons.
By the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I saw Zulieta's goods stowed
away—they would fill about two-thirds of the ship. I should
say they were sufficient to fill her up as she was filled when I
List saw her. I was present when the captain made his decla
ration at the Custom-house. The vessel is generally loaded
before she is clear ed at the Custom-house. The master's de-
claration is the act of clearing her. Goods are sometimes
t tken on board after that; in that case there ought to be a
fresh entry. There was no second entry of the Dryad. I was
down the day that she sailed, but did not go on board. At .the
time she was cleared she was two-thirds fil'ed. I recollect
Maxwell the mate going to the ship. He came to me two
Ways before she sailed. I had been on board dean to the time
that he came on board. Up to that time she had been as I
have described.
Cross-examined by Mr. Piiiwes—She came to Liverpool
in July and August. 1 was riot on board night and day. My
employers had chartered the v. ssel, and if any goods had been
put on board they must have paid the freight; so that if any
per•ons wished to ship goods without paying the freight they
mast have been put on board clandestinely. Capt. loose did not
take a dock berth. She must have been approached by boats
on one side. There was no access to her from the river.
Things were put down into the bold after I had been in the
hold. It is customary occasionally to ship earthenware fos
Cuba. It might have been a week before she sailed that I was
last in her hold.

Mr. PHIIIIPS—Is it not sometimes customary to ahipgoods
at Liverpool in fraud of the charterer ?
Witne-s—lt might have been done, but never to my know-
-I.dge. I am the person of all others from whom the knowledge
of such a fact would have been concealed in relation to the
Dryad, because it would have been my duty to inform my
employers. Gads might have been put on boat d without my
knowledge. There were ten kegs of paint put on board,
and no entry after the declaration.
Mr. PHILLIPS—Were there not fifteen kegs of paint and
some hardware put nn board after the declaration ?—I believe
th,-re mere. I ordered them on board. I did not make a
iresh c:earance at the Custom-house. They did not pay the
duty. It was so trifling it was not. worth while to make a
fresh declaration.

Re-examined by the ATTORNZY-GENERAL—.Me tried to,
get goods for her down to the last hour. No goods could go
on beard before ours. At the time the notice of intention of
da:e 1 the ;.15th of August, 1839, wa3 given, the
could have had no goods on board her. It was two or thrte
days after that that the loading begun. Ea-thenware ar.d
:,a:t are shipped from lighters, and other goods from the thore.
It would take a day of eight or nine working hours, to strip
eighty crates of earthenware. It would require the use of tackle
on board, and a good many hands. The provisions would
require two or three hours to ship them. I could see the hold
from the main hatchway without going down. I had that
'opportunity within three days before the ship sailed. Down
to the time of her sailing, we would have taken any goods,
that offered.

Thomas Sherlock--I am the clerk andexaminer, and clearer
in the Long-room, Customs, Liverpool. I produce the Bill of
entry and declaration of the master of the Dryad, dated Aug.
1839. ( The documents were put in and read, and proved to be
signed by Captain Loose and Peter Kelly, and r lated solely
to the goods shipped by Zulicta and Co.) The export duty
on earthenware is 10s. per cwt. Salt is free. The entry and
declaration are all the documents we have at the Custom-house
relating to the Dryad. The docks cannot be entered except at
high water, when there is always some one watching. 1 should
sky it was almost impossible to ship any thing which scould
take eiOtt or nine hours to ship without any one knowing any
thing about it. The entries and the master's deearati n
correspond, we have nothing to do with the bill of lading.
Nothing ma erial was elicited in the course of the cross-exa-
mination.

Captain John Meek—l was master of a vessel called the
Bencoolen in 1839. I was bound to Cape Hayti from La-
, gulyra. On 23d October, the Bencoolen was otf the harbour
at Cape Hayti. Her burden was 410.-tons. While off the
harbour I was boarded by a pilot. Three pilots came on b,ard.
There is a recf of rocks about three miles from the place where
the pilot boarded us. I observed a brig to the eastward. She
turned out to be the Dryad, Captain Loose. She was going
right stem on to the reef. The reef is laid down in the chart,
and -well known to mariners. '1 hey are laid down in the chart
produced. There is a bank, called the Silver Bank. The
reef she was going on is called the Reef of the Harbour of
Cape Hayti. They form the outside of the harbour, and ex-
tend about fifteen miles to the eastward. We waited to see if
the brig would alter her course. She did not. Our
pilot made a remark. I fired a gun as a signal to the
brig to warn them of their danger. she paid no attention,
but still went on. I ordered the pilot to go away with his
boat direct- y and go on board the vessel. He pulled to her and
boarded her. She did not alter her course until the pilot
boarded her, but continued going in the direction of the leer.
There was a light westerly wind blowing at the time. She
could have avoided the reef. When the pilot went on board
she altered her course and came into the harbour. I saw Loose
on shore there. I observed that the Dryad's rudder had been
unshipped and a jury rudder made. Several gudgeons had been
unshipped. I attended a survey on board the vessel. The
brig was surveyed, and certa'n repairs were ordered. There
is a gentleman there acting as Lloyd's agent. I remained at
Cape Hayti seven weeks. The Dryad remained a fortnight.
I frequently saw Loose. I conversed with him about the brig,
where she had been, and what had happened to her.
Mr. CLARKSON—Did you leant from him what had been
the effect of your sending the pilot on board him ?
Mr. RuILLIrs objected to any evidence being gone into re-
garding Loose.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. CLA RKSON contended
that they had a right to put the question in order to bring the
case home to Loose.

Lord Chief Justice TINDAL said they had no right to elicit
any declaration of the Captain unaccompanied by any act.
They could only take his declarations in evidence against the
prisoner, where those declarations were accompanied by acts.
Examination continued—l saw Loose during the survey. I
saw tha mate of the Dryad, Ronald Maxwell, soon alter I
arrived. He applied to me for a berth. I met the captain at
Killick with the. mate. The captain paid the mate his wages
and discharged him. I asked the mate the reason of his ap-
plying to me for a berth, and he gave me a reason: I gave him
a berth. I saw some of the crew on board; they made com-
plaints in my hearing. I remember the brig leaving to proceed
to Cuba after her repairs. The day after I saw Colonel Bi-
lister, the Colonel of the port. He made a remark to me, and
three or four days after I heard of the loss of the Dryad. I
saw down the art hatchway when I was surveying her, and she
appeared about two-thirds full of goods. I never saw her log
book, nor do I know of any one who ever did see it. From
what I saw of her course it appeared to me she had an oppor-
tunity of avo!ding the reefs before I fired the gun. She had
no business there at all—there was nothing in the state of the
weather to drive her there.

Cross-examined by Mr. I)oANE—I know Maxwell. I have
seen him here to-day. I heard a person taken out of Court
just now, I believe it was Maxwell's voice. I believe he must
have been tipsy.
Re-examined--I do not know who made him so, or whether
he made himself so.

( While the witness was under examination a man in a state
of intoxication was endeavouring to obtain admission into the
Court, but he was quickly removed by the officers. )
The Court adjourned at a quarter t•, six o'clock until to-
morrow.

(NEW COURT.)
(Be!ore Mr. Justice WILLIAMS and the Costmow Sr nc RANT. )
TRIAL OF CAPTAIN DOUGLAS.—Captain Douglas. accom •
panied by several military friends, entered the Court at half-
past 10 o'clock, and sui rendered himself into the custody of
Mr: Cope._ _ _ _ _

At 1 i o'clock Mr. Justice Williams came into Court, when
Captain Douglas and two of his friends entered the dock. Some
delay, however, was occasioned by one of the witnesses (Sir
James Anderson) not being in attendance.
Inspector Bustin said he had not served Sir James An-
derson with any fresh notice of trial since the last sessions.
He had not seen him this morning. Shortly afterwards Sir
James arrived.

The case of the " Queen v. Douglas" having been called on,
Captain Douglas and two of his friends advanced to the bar.
Mr. Justice Wzmaams—l see, prisoner, that ysu have
some friends in the dock with you. Is it your wish that they
should remain ?

• Captain Douglas—lt is, my Lord.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—Then I see no objection.
The Clerk of the Arraigns then read • the indictment. It
charged the prisoner, John Dougla., with having, on the 12th
of September last, in the parish of Wandsworth, fired or as-
sisted to fire, a loaded pistol at Harvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett.
In another count he was charged with intent to do him some
bodily harm. On being asked the usual question, Guilty er
Not Guilty,
Captain Douglas replied, Not Guilty.
Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Wrangham, Mr. Adolphus, and Mr.
Bodkin, appeared for the prisoner. No counsel was engaged
for the prosecution.
[The witnesses called were the same as %sere examined upon
the late trial of Lord Cardgan in the House of Lords ; and
their evidence was merely a repetition of what was given by
them on that occasion. It may be remarked that not one of
the witnesses could swear to the identity of Capt. Douglas.]
The ease for the prosecution having closed,
Mr. THESIGER rose, and was about to address the Jury for
the prisoner, when
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS intimated that it was unnecessary.
After a short consultation with the Common Sergeant,
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said—Gentlemen of the Jury, when
the case was first called on I was very much surprised on
being informed that no Counsel was instructed in support of
the prosecution. This is a circumstance that I exceedingly
regret, as it has thrown upon me the difficult and arduous
task of examining the witnesses. I have, however, performed
that duty to the best of my power and ability. I have
called before you and examined all the witnesses
whose names appear on the back of the bill. I
have examined them all with the greatest care and
attention. I have also inquired if there were any
other witnesses who could be produced capable of
giving evidence, and no one answered. I feel it, therefore,
my duty to say I am clearly of opinion that the evidence
which has been adduced is not sufficient to support the
indictment—in fact, that there is no ease whatever
to go to a Jury. No doubt on the 12th of December
a duel was fought on Wimbledon Common ; and that
after it a man was wounded; but there is no legal
evidence to prove that the prisoner at the bar took part in
the transaction. The prisoner was charged in the first
count with maliciously shooting at Hatvey Garnett Phipps
Tuckett ; now a card has been produced, which I have seen,
Lnt it cannot be received in evidence, for on that card the
words Harvey Tuckett only appear; it is clear there was no
legal identity. Mrs. Dann could not speak to the identity of
the prisoner, who, when she was asked if she knew any of the
gentlemen at the bar, pointing to Captain Douglas, said that
she thought he was the gentleman who was wounded. In short,
the evidence had totally failed to support the indictment, and
therefore the prisoner was entitled to his acquittal.
The Jury immediately returned a verdict of—Not Guilty.
Captain Douglas and his friends afterwards left the Court.
POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION.IIOUSE.
Two dentists, Mr. Madan, of Ludgate-hill, and Mr. Albert,
of Moorgate-street, were summoned before Sir Peter Laurie,
to answer the compla,nt of a lady of the name of Folkard, who
had dealt with them for teeth. The defendants did not at-
tend, as they considered the case to be out of the jurisdiction
of a Magistrate ; but Mr. Richards, a solicitor, represented
them. Mr. Hobler, jun. attended for Mrs. Folkard.
Mrs. Folkard stated that having seen in a newspaper an ad-
vertisement. about cheap teeth, to be had off .11. Albert, of
No. 41, -Moorgate-street, and being in want of a supply,
she called upon that dentist in June last, told him that she re-
quired the teeth for use and not ornament, and if they could
not be made useful, not to mind her mouth at all. He as-
sured her that he could accommodate her with teeth which,
would prove as useful for the purposes of mastication and arti-
culation as the genuine growth of nature, and that 10 guineas
would be the charge. The bargain was made, and the
teeth were in due time produced and fitted into her mouth,
and she paid the' demand. She was not, however, satisfied
with her newly-purchased mouthful, and she said so ; but Mr.
Albert assured her that when they were accustomed to her
mouth they would work pleasantly. Afterwards she employed
the same gentleman, upon his persuasion, to make another set
of teeth for her, for which she was to give fourteen guineas.
The new set proved to be gross misfits, and broke while in ac-
tive use in the corner of her jaw. Mr. Albert then said that
he would make her another set of a superior kind, for which
he must charge her twenty guineas, and he ultimately agreed
to let her have the third set, instead of the second, for 201. 145.,
which money she paid. The teeth, however, turned out quite
' contrary to her expectation, and not only misfitted, but
lacerated her mouth, and she called frequently to
complain and to have the faults corrected. At last
Mr. Albert introduced her to Mr. Malian, who,e
pupil he had been. Mr. Malian examined her mouth,
and said it was a difficult one "to fit up." She replied that
she did not think it was hard to fit her, and he then took
out the teeth, looked at them, and said they were worth no-
thing, and that young persons did them so cheap that they
could not be expected to be very good.
Sir PETER LAURIE—What! Mr. Mallan objected to the
cheapness of the article ! Why he advertises -the cheapest in
the world.—(A laugh. )
Mrs. Folkard said that such was the opinion Mr. Malian
uttered. He then looked into her mouth again, and puled it
about a good deal. She cautioned him agair,st disturbing a
tooth which she had in her jaw, but instead of attending to
her request he actually forced it out with his thumb.
Sir PETER LAURIE—What ! he deprived you of the only
tooth you had of your own ?
Mrs. Folkard said she dirt not say it was the only tooth. At

Mrs. Folkard said it was the fact. She said that she could

new set of teeth out of her mouth, broken them in pieces as
useless. Upon subsequently callipg at Mr. Mallan's house,

her mouth, and she paid him the hundred pounds in a fifty,
