ELLIGEN CIE-( THIS DAL)

OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES.—DanieI
Chine, described as a commission agent, and James Keel-
ing, also described as a commission agent, were charged be
fore Mr. Beadon with obtaining, by false pretences, 3 boxes
of cigars of the value of £6 from Messrs. Wishart and
Lloyd, wholesale tobacconists, Coventry-street.

Mr. Powell, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, ap-
peared for• the prisoners. From the evidence of Mr . James
Johnson, in the employ of the firm of Wishart arid Lloyd,
it appeared that on the 25th of this month tl,e prisoner
Chine who then called himself Stanley, came, accompanied
by another man not now present, and, ordered three
boxes of cigars of the value of £9 to be sent
to his office, No. 9, Duke-street, and he would
then pay for them. He sent Cue cigars as de-
sired by the prisoner by the porter:, who returned
without the money. He (witness) went, the next morning
and saw Keeling, having previously/ seen the prisoner
Chine pass into the back counting-house. On asking
Keeling for Stanley he said he had, net then arrived. He
told him that was not true, for he ldad seen him go into the
back office, and if he did not tell him he would go into the
room and see him himself. S'car Joy then came out, and
said if he would go away and call in five minutes he would
pay him, but he refused to leave. Stanley then said if he
would go with him to the City to his banker he would pay
him. He went with him to two or three different places,
but did not succeed in getting the money. The prisoners
then left the office, and he ascertained that the cigars had
been pledged immediately after, at Mr. Young's, but re-
deemed by a person who Mr. Young believed had pur-
chased the duplicate.

Thonaas Pullen, porter to Messrs. Wishart and Lloyd,
proved receiving a parcel from the last witness, and taking
it to Duke-street, where he saw both prisoners. He pre-
sented the bill to Keeling. He said Mr. Stanley was not
there, and asked him to leave the parcel, but he said he
could not do so without the money. He then said that if
he took the goods back most likely Mr. Stanley would not
have them at all, being offended at the distrust shown, and
that Mr. Stanley was dining in the country with a lady.
He took the goods eut of Keeling's hand, and Mr. Chme
then came out of a back room and said that Mr. Stanley
had told him that some cigars were coming, and that he
was to forward them immediately to him, and that Mr.
Stanley would call and pay for them. He (Chine) then
took the parcel away, saying it was all right.
In answer to Mr. Beadon, the witness Johnson said that
Chine represented himself as Mr. Stanley, jun., of the firm
of Stanley and Co., commission agents, 9, Duke-street,
Westminster.

Charles John Thrift, assistant to Mr. Barrington, pawn-
broker, Princes-street, Leicester-square, proved that the
prisoner Chine pledged three boxes and six parcels of cigars
on the 25th of May last.

Mr. Powell having addressed the magistrate on the pri-
soners' behalf,

Mr. Beadon said it was clearly a conspiracy to defraud
and he should remand them for a week.

The prisoners were identified as the persons who de-
frauded Messrs. Parkins and Gotto, the stationers, and it
is believed there will be a largo number of cases against
them. -
