HOOPER V. F 3Y.

This was an action on an I 0 U for 101., and the de•
fendant pleaded payment. It appeared from the evidence
that the plaintiff had been in partnership with his bro-
ther, but the money had been lent by the plaintiff out
of his private property. The defendant produced a re-
ceipt signed by the firm for the amount, and it was al-
leged that was for the I 0 U. For the plaintiff, in
reply, it was urged that the receipt was for
goods solds sold by the partnership, with whom de-
fendant had had many dealings; and it was fur-
ther contended, that a receipt given in the name
of the firm could not be an answer to a private debt.
The SECONDARY left it to the jury to say whether
they believed it was a partnership receipt for a partner.
ship debt.
The jury found a verdict for 101.
The plaintiff claimed interest for three years, but
The Learned SECONDARY held that it was not recover-
able, as there was no promise on the face of the docu-
ment, or notice given that the defendant would be liable.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Mary Hunter was placed at the bar, under the charge
of being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself.
Inspector Baker informed Mr. Hardwick that the de-
fendant, with her husband, had been before Mr. Long
on Tuesday, at the office, charged with stealing furniture
from their lodgings. The woman then appeared to Mr.
Long to be the cause of their misery, and they were
both discharged, on the undertaking of the husband to
return some of the articles last night, and the rest within
asb ort time. The next charge on the sheet was against
the husband, for stealing a feather bed from his lodgings
last night. Such was the way they had taken to settle
yesterday's charge. He believed the evidence as to the
bed would go against the woman rather thane the man.
Mr. HARDWICK ordered both prisoners to be placed
at the bar.
William Hunter was then put to the bar, charged with
stealing a feather bed from his lodgings, Carnaby-street,
• Sarah Walker, 19, Carnaby-street, said both the pri-
soners had occupied furnished apartments at her house
for the last six weeks, during which time they had
stripped the rooms of everything but the tables and
chairs. She said the woman came on Tuesday night, about
eight o'clock, for the key of her room, with the inten-
tion, as she thought, of bringing hack some of the
furniture, according to their undertaking before the
magistrate. But a little after she had got the
key, complainant found the room open and empty, and
the feather bed, with some other articles, missing.
Police-constable 55 C said the man 'iwas given into
his custody last night, about ten o'clock.
The male prisoner said all this arose from the
drunkenness of a wife. He knew nothing about the bed
whatever, but believed it might be found some rag-
shop or old iron shop. He had spent the whole of
Tuesday making inquiries at shops like these after
the other articles, but could get no intelligence about
them.
Thomas Walker, the husband of the coin) ilainant, said
he feared the female prisoner was most to blame.
Mr. liAnDwicx discharged the man, and ordered the
woman to be brought up again on Friday.
Jonas Barker, apprentice to Mr. J. Smit b, plumber,
22, Woodstock-street, Oxford-street, was charged with
stealing lead pipe from his master.
John Smith, apprentice to Mr. Smith, said..he left the
prisoner on Tuesday night, about a quarter past ten, in
the shop with a light, and saw him walk up to where
the pipe was hanging. The witness heard him :meddling
with the pipe, then something fall on the 'box beneath
where the pipe hung, and then footsteps' across the
shop. The defendant then walked out by th ?, back door,
with something across his right shoulder. IVituess told
his master, and they went into the shop, where they
missed a length of 14-inch pipe, about 32 lbs. weight.
The length of pipe was safe in the shop yeste arday morn-
ing; it had not yet been discovered.
Mr. HARDWICK remanded him for further , 4iquiry.
