SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Befote Mr. Uodersheriff Burebell.)

HOARI6 V. ACM-ACCOMMODATION BILL TRANSACTIONS.

This was an action to recover the sum of 181. 3i. 6d.
on a promissory note, given under he following pecu-
liar circumstances :

It appeared by the evidence that the defendant bad
accepted an accommodation bill for the plaintiff, who
had paid it away to a Mr. Lancaster, and the bill being
dishonoured the latter sued the defendant, who was ar-
rested. The plaintiff was appealed to on the subject,
as defendant at the time held two accommodation bills
accepted by the plaintiff, and, after some dis-
cussion, it was agreed that he should obtai❑ the
release of the defendant on the latter giving a
promissory note for the amount claimed, 18/. 3s. 6d.,
and making an assignment for the benefit of the creditors
—this was done, and the plaintiff signed the deed for
that amount, but it was contended that that was for a
bill for] clothes, and that the note was given to enable
plaintiff to settle with Lancaster.

Fur the defendant, it was contended, the debt was
either released under the deed, or was given in fraud
against the other creditors, b 3 giving the plaintiff a
preference, and therefore void.

The learned Under-sheriff summed up, and directed
the attention of the jury to the fact that the amount in
the deed was exactly the same as that of the note, and
left it to the jury whether it was for the debt ; if so, it
was released by the deed.
The jury gave a verdict for the defendant.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.;

MANSION-HOUSE.

A man named French wag placed at the bar before
Mr. Alderman Carter, charged with wilful damage, under
the following circumstances :

It appeared from the evidence of Mr. J. R. Egan,
landlord of the Monument Tavern, 48, Fish•street Hill,
that the prisoner came to his house last night between 5
and 6 o'clock, and was very annoying to the customets.
The witness remonstrated with him, apd desired him to
desist, but he refused. He then ordered him to leave, but
he would not, and threatened witness, who came round to
put him out, and caught hold of him for that purpose,
on which the prisoner attempted to break away from
him, but finding it impossible, he deliberately sent his
fist through a square of plate glass, value 2/. 10s. After
that the prisoner succeeded in getting from the witness,
and ran out of the door ; but, coming in contact with
the lamp-post, he was brought up, and detained by the
witness until a policeman came up, when he was given
int 9 custody.

The prisoner said he was sorry for what he had done,
and asked to be permitted to settle the case with the
complainant.

Alderman Carter told him he had committed an
offence against the law, and the complainant had no
right to compromise the affair. He had committed a
wanton damage, and he fined him 2/. 10s., the value
of the glass, and costa, or two months' imprisonment.
The prisoner was unable to pay the fine, and he was
accordingly locked up.
