EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

STICKER V. THE EARL OF LIMERICK.

This ectio:► was brought to recover 1051. on a bill of
exchange drawn by the Earl of Limerick and accepted
by his lather, the late Lord Glentworth. The bill was
endor:ed by the plaintiff, a:vvest-end tailor, in satisfaction
of his claim for clothes supplied to the noble defendant.
Isis() Mr. Percy and his brother, who lived with bim at
the time. When the bill became due it was dishonoured,
the noble defendant being on the continent, but on his
return to this country he opened a fresh account with
the plaintiff, and ran up a bill to the extent of 2001.
He then paid 100/. in liquidation, as it was alleged, of
the total amount including the bill in question then due
to the plaintiff, but it was now contended that the 100/.
was to have been placed against the new account, con•
tracted subsequently to the noble defendant's return
from abroad, while the bill itself was altogether repu-
diated on the ground that he was not of age at the time
it was drawn. _ _ _

The jury, however, returned a verdict for the full
amount claimed.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BIIRCHELL )
CAMPBELL V. JENKINS.
The plaintiff in this action is the owner of a vessel
callod the Latimer, and defendant is a merchant in the
City. The action was brought on a charter party for the
delivery of a cargo of wheat from Marseilles. It appeared
I,y the evidence that the vessel arrived at that port in
August., but defendant's factors did not think it prudent
in the then state of the market to freight the vessel; the
consequence was a delay of fifteen days beyond the
twenty-five " lay days" for taking in and delivering the
cargo, and which he was required to stay by the charter
party. There was also a ten days' demurrage.
The factors having refused to perform the contract
on the part of the defendant, it was neces•
sary to take • proceedings in the courts of
law at Marseilles at an expense of 41. 18s. 6d. Another
freight having been obtained, there was a loss of 91. 3.=.
7d. The plaintiff also charged IL 10s. as a premium on
501. for money borrowed by the captain, the factors not
having advanced that sum according to the charter party.
The total amount claimed was 1361. 6s. 9d.
The defendant having suffered judgment to go by de-
fault, admitted his liability, and the captain having
proved the payment, &c , the jury gave a verdict for the
amount claimed.

FROOM V. SMITH.
The plaintiff was a looking glass manufacturer in the
Strand, and the defendant is an attorney in New Or-
mond-street. The action was brought to recover the
sum of 171.2 s sd. for goods sold, and work and labour
done.
The only question raised was whether the action ought
not to have been brought in the County Court.
Mr. PRENTIS contended that it was a case which
ought to have been brought in the superior court, al-
though no defence was now made, and asked the Learned
Under. Sheriff to certify to that effect.
The UNDER SHERIFF did not think that he had power
to certify, not being a judge, but only an officer of the
superior court, and all he bad to do was to return the
the record and verdict.
Mr. Withers, the defendant's clerk, applied for the
writ to be retained till next term.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said that he saw no ground for
doing so—there could be no question as to the verdict.

about to leave the country, and that the bill was a spu-
rious one.

Mr. Paul Bedford End Mr. Manby denied that the
signatures to the bill were theirs.
Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the jury on behalf of the
prisoner.
Several witnesses gaveiliim a good character.
Mr. Justice COLTMAN summed up, and
The jury found the prisoner Guilty of uttering,
knowing the bill to be forged, but not with intent to
defraud.

Mr. Justice COLTMAN—That is tantamount to a ver-
dict of acquittal.
The prisoner was again lindicted with forging and
uttering, knowing it to be forged, a bill of exchange for
301., purporting to be accepted by Mr. Msuby, the secre-
tary of the Society of Civil Engineers. This bill he got
Mr. Swinford to discount, who gave him 28/. 10s. for it.
Mr. Manby denied that the acceptance to the bill
was his.

On cross-examination, Mr. Manby stated that the
prisoner had been working for thst institution, and when
he finishcd certain work there would be about 371. due
to him.

Mr. BALLANTINE addrssQd the jury for the prisoner,

Mr. Justice COLTMAN sutnined
The jury found the prisonor. Guilty, but strong'•y
rf.commended him to the m•r:iful consideration bt:
the Court.

Mr. ROBINSON said ho was instructel by the prose-
cutor also to recommend the prisoner to mercy, believing
him to have been in great distress.
Mr. Justice COLTMAN said he would consider of the
sentence he would pass upon the prisoner.

NEW' COURT
( Before the RECORDE n.)
Jane Bailey, aged 29, spinster, and James Birnett,
aged 2t, labourer, were charged with stealing a writing-
d.-sk containing 371., and various articles of, jewellery,
the property of Mrs. Elizabeth Nortbcroft, lodging-
house keeper, of 52, York-street, Marylebone.
The female prisoner, on the 15th and 16th of August
last was employed as a dress-maker at the prosecutrix's
house, and while the prisoner was at work, the prosecu-
trix told her that a desk which stood on a side
table contained all the valuables she possessed in the
world. On the 17th the desk was missing, and the pro-
secutrix suspecting that the female prisoner knew what
had become of it had her taken before the magistrate,
but the evidence against her was not sufficiently strong
to warrant her detention. Subsequently, however, two
five pound notes, part of the 371., were traced to the
male prisoner, lit ho had been in the habit of visiting the
female prisoner at her lodgings in Tottenham-court-
road, and that circumstance, coupled with the fact
that a few days previous to the disappearance
of the desk. the female prisoner admitted to her landlord
that she had not a farthing in the world, while some
short time afterwards she paid 4! for rent, and, together
with the male prisoner, seemed to be in the possession
of a good deal of money, led to their arrest and joint
committal on a charge of stealing the desk in question.
Mr..CLARKsort defended the prisoners, and contended
that the case was one of suspicion, and nothing more.
The RECORDER having summed up the evidence,
'the jury returned a verdict of Guilty, with a recom-
mendation to mercy.
The RECORDER saw no grounds for the recommenda-
tion, sad sentenced them to seven years' transportation.
