roils sums on aceount ; let me ask you, whatever the sum
may be that you may have a claim upon the company for,
whether that claim has been settled ? Witness—No, it
has not.

Mr. MAcAuLEv—When you undertook with the company
to complete the surveys, did you receive any money on ac-
count ? Witness—No, I did not. I have since received a
small proportion on account. Pratt and the ether two were
engaged at the same time.

MA,cAuLET—In the first instance, when you engaged
them, did you engage each one to do so much work? Wit-
ness—No, .1
looked to Pratt. He was to do so many miles of
survey, at 101. a tfiile. Wilson and Clarke were to assist him
in it. The money paid was paid over to Pratt, and the
throe divided amongst themselves. I paid them in one sum.
A letter dated Ist of February, after the action had been
brought, written by Pratt to Borsley, stating the account
due from Boraley to be, to Pratt 251. 12s. 6d., to Clarke
15/. 6s 9d., and to Wilson 221. I is. 6d., was put in evidence.
Mr. MILLER objected to it, but the Under-Sheriff over-
ruled the objection.
Cross-examined—l wrote to Pratt, and he furnished the
letter in answer. I have threatened the company with an
action, but I think I shall get my money without proceeding.
Mr. Rymington was the first engaged by the company, and
then Mr. Brees. I worked under the latter for two months.
Re. examined—Mr. Rymington received 1,000/., and re-
turned it to the Company. .

Mr. MacAuLEv, Oil closing his case, submitted that he
was entitled to a non-suit; which Mr. MILLan objected to,
and replied.
The UNDER-SHERIFF summed up, and in a few minutes
the jury returned a verdict for the plaiatiff—Damages
181. 16s. 10d.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-BOUSE.

Joseph Myers, who was on Monday brought up on a
warrant, in which he was stated to have been, together
with other parsons, found feloniously in possession of a
number of ten-pound notes of the Warwick and Lea-
mington Bank, was again put to the bar yesterday.
Mr. Mullins, of the firm of Bosh and Mullins, ap-
peared for the prosecution, and Mr. Hobler attended for
the prisoner. . _ _

The evidence of Superintendent Roby, of the Lea-
mington police, was read, and Mr. Ruby stated that he
had a witness to produce who could swear to the identity,
of the prisoner, so that he should be justified in remov-
ing the prisoner to the place in which the robbery was
committed.

Thomas Archer, of No. 6, Cullum-street, Lime-street,
bootmaker, was then called upon the part of the prose-
cution. He stated that he had been examined before
Mr. Russell, the magistrate at Leamington, when the
warrant which was produced had been granted. In the
examination which till n took place he had spoken of a
person named Myers. The prisoner watt that person.
Mr. Mullins intimated that the identification just es-
tablished was sufficient to justify the Lord Mayor in
sending the prisoner to Leamington in the custody of
the superintendent.
Mr. nobler submitted that a more accurate identifica-
tion was necessary, as the warrant upon which the pri-
soner had been apprehended charged him with having
been feloniously in possession of stolen notes.
The LORD MAYOR expressed a desire to have satisfac-
tory information as to the identity of the prisoner.
Mr Mullins (to the witness)—Are yon sure that he
is the person mentioned in the warrant ? Witness—l
swear that he is the same person.
Mr. Nobler—How do you know that he is the man ?
Witness—l saw him in a certain transaction upon money
and bank-notes. They were Leamington and Warwick
notes. I detailed about them to the magistrate.
Mr. Mullins—Was the transaction relating to the
parcel of notes specified in the hand-bill? Witness—
Yes. I saw the notes counted and taken to the prisoner
up-stairs, at the prisoner's house, and I heard the pri-
soner say, " We can't give more for them then we have
offered, for they are all following numbers, and on that
account not so valuable, or words to that effect." I had
had the notes in my own hands, and I know they were
part of the notes referred to in the bill offering the
reward.

Mr. Hobler—How came you to have the notes in your
hands? Witness—Because the party who had them,
who was a clerk in the Leamington banking house was
in distress, and he came to me. I had known him,
having been myself in business at Leamington. He came
to me in the early part of last spring. I first of all met
him promiscuously in the streets. A man named Blaney
put the notes into my hands, and 1 saw them counted.
A man was going to sell them to the prisoner. I can't
swear to the exact number, but I understood they were
to the amount of 1,0001. in 101. notes. They were old
notes, all looking as if they had bean in circulation for
some time.

Mr. Hobler--You never saw them in Myer's hand
Witness—Never.

Mr. Hobler—Why, then, did you say that you saw
them in his hand ? Witness—No. I never saw them
in his hand. I never meant to say so. I went with a
man of the name of Jennings to Myers's house, and Jen-
nings had the notes in his possession when we went to
the house. Jennings is one of the parties named in the
warrant.

Mr. Hobler—Pray, have you ever been in trouble your-
self ? Witness--I don't know what you mean.
Mr. Hobler—Have you ever been in any difficulty ?
Witness—l was once in a difficulty about a half sovereign,
but I received damages for that.
Mr. Hobler—Have you ever been at Worship street
Police-court fur an assault ?- Witness —Yes. I was
there for an assault upon a child. It was brought
against me by a woman of the town for the purpose of
extorting money from me, and I was honourably ac-
quitted.
Mr. Hobler contended that the witness's statement
was not sufficient evidence upon which to send his client
to Leamington on such a serious charge.
The LORD MAYOR—(to the witness)—Are you sure
the prisoner is the man of whom you speak ? 'Witness
—Certainly ; I know him perfectly well.
The LORD MAYOR—I am satisfied, and deliver up the
prisoner to the superintendent.
The prisoner was then taken away.
The case excited a great deal of interest, and during
the examination the Justice-room was crowded to
excess.
