ERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCEELL.)
VAUGHAN v. GROSSMITIL
The plaintiff in this action is a tailor, and might to
recover the sum of 5/. 3s. for goods sold.
The defendant, by his guardian, pleaded that he was
a minor at the time the debt was contracted, and that
the goods were not necessaries.
Mr. WHITE, in stating the case, said that the de-
fendant was a shopman to a poulterer, and the prin.
cpal item in the bill was for a suit of mourning supplied
on the occasion of the death of the defendant's father.

that such articles were necessaries, fit and suitable to the
state and condition in life of the defendant. Witnesses were called who proved the orders and
delivery of the goods.
Mr. CROUCH, for the defendant, cross-examined, with
a view of showing that there had been a running ac-
count with the defendant's father.
It was, however, proved that the defendant always,
paid for his own clothes.
He was a " 'second-rate"
shopman, and had 7s. a week and board and lodging.
Mr. Dean, a tailor, was called to prove the value of
the goods. :He considered all the charges fair, and
that the articles were "necessaries fit for a person in
defendant's station of life. He considered that a satin
waistcoat was not an extravagant article; on the con-
trary, it was very economical for wear, and would wear
out two or three of cloth.
Mr. CROUCH was then proceeding to address the jury,
but
The Learned UNDER- SHERIFF said, unless witnesses
could be called to prove other clothes had been supplied,
and that therefore those charged for were superfluities,
the case might rest where it did.
The Learned Counsel said he could not call witnesses.
The jury said they were satisfied, and gave a verdict
for the plaintiff.
OWEN V. ADANS.—ALTERING A RECORD AFTER SEALING.
On this case being called on, the defendant's attorney
objected to its being gone on with, as the date for the
return had gone by : it was made returnable on the 28th
September.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said, under these circumstances,
he could not, of course, hear it.
The plaintiff's attorney said the writ had been re-
sealed, but the alteration of the date had not been made;
but he would alter it now.
The UNDER- SHERIFF said that if the record was
placed before him, and the date of the return was altered,
he must try the cause ; but the plaintiff's attorney would
make the alteration at his peril.
The defendant's attorney said that he would not con-
sent to the alteration ; indeed, the consequences might
be serious, the seal was to authenticate the record.
The UNDER SHERIFF said he could not give any per-
mission, and ought not to be called upon to give an
opinion ; but in mer to the arties, he would

GUILD HALL.—(THIS DAY.)
The case of extraordinary imposition respecting the
pretended title of the heirs-of-law of the Rev. Jonathan
Stokes (who died at Nottingham in the year 1712) to an
immense fortune of nearly one million again brought before Mr. Alderman H sterling, war
umphery and Sir
- W. Magnay.
The
phreys, the ii( prisonlicitorer Poyser was defended by Mr. Hum-
Mr. Clarkson, who appeared for the prosecution put
in letters which he had received from Nottingham,
and by which he expected to trace to the prisoner the
bank notes, which the latter denied having received from
Mrs. Woodham (the principal heir-at-law to the imagi-
nary wealth), but Mr. Humphreys objected to their
F being received as evidence and they were not pressed.
Mr. Clarke then gave evidence that he had made the
• propt.r search, and ascertained of the steward of the
inns of court that no such barrister existed as Mr. Fitz-
gerald Struchan, under pretence of feeing whom the
prisoner
Basin had obtained 20L from the complainant in
ghall-street, within the jurisdiction of this Court.
Mr. Clark also gave evidence that there were no un-
claimed dividends in the name of the alleged testator
or his heirs, and that no will of the said Rev. J. Stokes
was to be found in Doctors' Commons.
Mr. Humphrey's contended that, from Mrs.
Woodham's own admission, the false repre-
sentation respecting the property originated
with
herself or her relations, as she had sworn that her
father believed himself entitled to some such property,
and expended large sums in seeking to establish his
claim. The only charge that could be entertained was
that of obtaining 201. upon the false pretence of paying
a fee, and he submitted that there was no evidence that
it was a false pretence. There was no case to go to a

The Magistrates were of opinion that the falsehood
was not sufficiently made out, and they remanded the
prisoner till Saturday, to give time for further search as
to the reality of Mr. Fitzgerald Strachan.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Benjamin Hall was charged before Mr. Henry with
stealing a truck, the property of Peregrine Pecker.
The complainant, who lives in Little Qtteen-street,
Drury-lane, and has been in the habit of
letting trucks
for five years, said that on Monday last the prisoner
came to him and asked him to lend him the truck, as he
wanted to move some goods. Witness said he would do
so if the prisoner would give a reference. The prisoner
went away, but afterwards returned and took the truck
away without his knowledge. Witness had since seen
the truck at the shop of Mr. Scotchman, broker and
auctioneer, Holles-street, Fitzroy-square.
Edwin Flintoft, foreman to Mr. Scotchman, proved
that 10. had been advanced by him to the prisoner on
the truck.
The prisoner, who made no defence, was committed
for trial.
The truck was given up to the complainant, a mark
having been set on it, in order that it might be identified
by the policeman at the trial.
Mr. HExay cautioned the complainant against let
