CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER).
OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.-

John Darby, a horse dealer, surrendered to take his
trial upon a bill found last session, charging him with
obtaining, under false pretences, from Mr. Edward
Oldfield, the sum of 801. 15s.

Mr. Ballantyne conducted the case for the pro-
secution, and Mr. Prendergast was counsel for the
prisoner.

From the statements of Mr. Ballantyne, it appeared
that Mr. Oldfield, the prosecutor, was a corn dealer
residing at Hyde, near Hendon, and had been in the
habit of having dealings with the defendant, who was
a horse dealer, for several years. Among the other
transactions that had taken place between them, the
prosecutor had cashed several bills for the defendant,
which were accepted by a person named Terry. Upon
the 17th of March the defendant brought an accept-
ance of Terry's fox 891. 155., which he wanted cashed.
Upon the defendant making the request to the prose-
cutor, the latter stated that he had already bills of his
to the amount of some thousands in his posses-
siop, and that the last acceptance of Terry's
had been dishonoured, and he must there-
fore decline having anything more to do with it.
Upon this the defendant said that Terry was a
highly respectable man, that he was a West India
merchant, and had a situation in the West India
Docks worth at least 600/. a year. The prosecutor
believing the statement of the defendant, discounted
the bill, giving him 801. 15s. in a cheque, Bank notes,
and cash, keeping the remainder as discount. Pre-
vious to the bill becoming due, the prosecutor dis-
covered that the defendant was in the Gazette. The
prosecutor proved against his estates in the Court of
Bankruptcy, and from the questions put to the de-
fendant in that court, it was discovered that the
statements he had made with respect to Terry were
untrue. Upon this discovery the present indictment
was brought against the defendant, and, upon the
case going before the grand jury last session, they
found a true bill against him.
At the conclusion of the evidence the Learned Re-
corder intimated that no case had been made out to
go to the jury.
Some discussion ensued upon this point, and sub
sequently
The BECOJIDER left it to the jury to decide.
After a brief consultation they returned a verdic
of Not Guilty.

MARLBRO'-STREET—( THIS DAY.)
Henry White, a sharp-lcoking young fellow, was
brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with stealing
five shillings in copper money, the property of Mr.
James Richardson, Three Tuns, Moore-street, Seven
Dials.

James Tarrant stated that he was a potboy in the
employ of Mr. Richardson. Yesterday afternoon he
was busily occupied behind the bar, tying up in
packets a quantity of copper money. While he was
doing so the prisoner came in and stood in the front
of the bar, apparently watching his movements.
Having occasion to turn his back to serve a customer,
the prisoner seised hold of a packet containing
five shillings in coppers, and ran off with it. He fol-
lowed him, and saw him enter several shops, where
he endeavoured to change the copper for silver. After
going about for some time he procured the change,
and was on the point of putting it in his pocket when
witness went up to him and gave him in charge.
The prisoner admitted taking the money, but it
was done out of a lark, and he had not the least in-
tention of keeping it.
Mr. HARDWICK said he should give him an oppor-
tunity of telling that tale to a jury by committing
him for trial.
