Mr. PARRY stated the case for the Plaintiff. He said he
believed the defence would be that the plaintiff was in .piat- •
nership with a Mr. Ancona. It was true that he had'lken
so, but he would call Mr. Ancona to prove that the p ger-
ship had been dissolved before the orders were give. eand
'consequently that the plaintiff alone was entitled to . 'aid.

then on the ground that he was only acting as agent for
a Mr. Woods.

PRICE. 5D

In cross-examination he said that defendant took jobs
from persons, and banded them over to other persons.
In this case he did not hint that any otber party was liable.
There was no deed of dissolution. There was no notice in
the Gazette. It was quite a private arrangement. They
were at the present time joint surveyors of the Patent Elastic
Pavement Company, but were not partners.
The delivery of the plans to the defendant personally was
then proved.
The SECONDARY said that if it could be proved that the
partnership existed at the time the debt was contracted, the
action must fall, but the evidence went to prove the contrary.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

ROBBERY of 2601. in LIVERPOOL.
(From the Liverpool Albion.)
On Saturday a stylish young fellow, who gave his name
John Roberts, but. whose real name is Peter Keenan, was
brought before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of having picked
the pocket of Mr. Andrew Leighton, of the firm of William
Leighton and Co., general merchants, South Castle-street, of
his pocket-book, containing Bank of England notes to the
amount of 260/.
Mr. Leighton stated, that he had called at the office of the
Branch Bank of England, Hanover-street, about eleven
o'clock on the morning of that day (Saturday), and obtained
the 2601. in notes, which he placed in his pocket-book. He
then put the book in the hind pocket of his frock coat, and
proceeded along Hanover-street, in the direction of his
office. He had not gone many paces when he felt a
slight twitch behind, and on putting his hand imme-
diately into his pocket he discovered that the book was
gone. On turning round he saw the prisoner, and he at
once said to him, " You hare got my pocket-book." The
prisoner did not attempt to deny the fact ; he acknowledged
that he had it, and, drawingit forth from the pocket of his
coat, .he politely handed it to the complainant, and begged
to be allowed to go quietly about his business.
Mr. Leighton said it was impossible to allow so barefaced
a robbery to be committed with impunity, and, appealing to
a Mr. Williams, of Preston, who stood close by, he asked him
if he had seen the transaction?
Mr. Williams replied that he had.
Mr. Leighton then looked about for a policeman, but
being unable to find one, he seized hold of the prisoner, and
a struggle took place between them. The prisoner mani-
fested the greatest possible eagerness to be set at liberty ; he
offered six sovereigns, the gold rings off his fingers, and the
watch from his fob, if Mr. Leighton would relinquish his hold,
but finding that the offer was indignantly rejected, he sought
and obtained permission to walk to Bridewell arm-in-
arm with Mr. Leighton, in order not to attract public notice.
They had not proceeded far together, in this manner, when
the prisoner suddenly withdrew his arm and ran off at the top
of his speed through Cooper's-row. Mr. Leighton followed
and overtook him ; and, after he had given repeated pro-
mises that he would not again attempt to escape, they
walked arm-in-arm to the Bridewell.
Mr. Rushton—Was your money all right?
Mr. Leighton—All right ; it was in the same position as
when I had put it into the pocket-book.
Mr. Owen, who defended the prisoner, endeavoured to
make it appear, on cross -examination, that the hook had
dropped; but Mr. Leighton distinctly swore that his pocket
was deep, and that it was quite impossible the book could
have fallen out.
Mr. Peter Williams, of Preston, stated that about a
quarter after eleven o'clock that morning, he was on his
way to the Branch Bank of England, and met three very
respectable-looking persons, the prisoner and two others,
in Hanover-street. Just as he was passing them he saw
the prisoner pick the pocket-book out of Mr. Leighton's
pocket. Thinking that they were all friends, well known to
each other, and that it might have been a trick, witness
stopped to see whether Mr. Leighton would look serious or
pleased on discovering his loss, and observing that he
looked serious, he instantly went up and stated what he had
seen.

Dawson, the Bridewell-keeper, said that on searching the
prisoner, he found 71. on him, a few papers in the shape of
bills of exchange, and a credit account similar to a credit ac-
count on a bank.
The prisoner declined to say anything in his defence, and
was fully committed for trial at the sessions.
We have said that he was stylishly dressed. He wore a
suit of black, black frock coat, black satin vest, and black
satin stock, with cream-coloured kid gloves. He was not
unknown to Mr. Parkinson, having been five times com-
mitted and eight discharged. He made his last appearance
at the Liverpool police-court in 1842, and it is supposed that
he has been almost ever since then acting professionally in
London. Latterly he has been living at one or two very re-
spectable hotels in Liverpool, in first-rate style. His brother
was transported.
