SINGULAR CASE.

On Saturday last, at the Bradford Courthouse,
Mr. Thomas Booth, woolstapler and top-maker, of
Windh 11, neer Shipley, was charged before the
mayor with stealing " one original sample sliver of
mohair tops." Mr. Tarty, solicitor, on the part of
the prosecutor, Mr. Jonathan William Anderton,
commission merchant and dealer in wool tops and
yarns, at Bradford, said, he much regretted that he
had to appear against a person in Mr. Booth's posi-
tion of life to prefer such a charge as that which
' was stated in the summons ; but if he succeeded, as
he believed he should, in establishing a prima facie
care of felony against the prisoner, it would be the
duty of the bench to commit him for trial, leaving
a j❑ry to decide as to whether he had taken posses-
sion of the property in question bona fide, believ-
ing that he h ,d a right to do so, or what the intent
was. After citing several cases somewhat eimilar
to the present, in which juries had convicted and
judges had confirmed convicions, Mr. Terry pro-
ceeled to call evidence, from which it appeared
that on Thursday, the 22d ult., Mr. Colefax, mana-
ger for the prosecutor, purchased from the prisoner,
on Mr. Anderton's accoont, 1,000 lb. weight of
No. 6 mohair tops, worth about 4s. per pound, and
similar to a sample that had been received from
the prisoner the day before. On Monday morning
last a bag of tops, weighing from 200 lb. to 300 lb.,
was received at the prosecutor's warehouse, having
keen sent by prisoner on account of the contract.
On comparing these tops with the sample Mr. Cole-
fax found they were interior in quality and colour,
and forthwith wrote to the prisoner a note, of

----
which the following is a copy :
" Piece Hall-yard, Bradford, April 26, 1858.
" tops you have delivered are inferior in
colour and quality to your sample by which they were
sold, and they cannot be taken to account ; they lie here
waiting your instructions for disposal, and I must re-
quest immediate fulfilment of the order with proper
quality.

" (P. pro. J. W. Anderton.)
J. S. COLLFAX.
"Mr. Thomas Booth."
Oa Wednesday morning Mr. Booit called at the
prosecutor's warehouse, and Mr. Colefax showed
him the original sample sliver, and also a sliver out
of the tops delivered. He asked Mr. Colefax if
he could see any difference between the two, and,
upon the lager observing that there was a great
difference in colour and quality, the prisoner rolled
the two slivers up together, and said he would
send no more tops if those which had been sent
were returned. He then put the two samples into
his pocket and went away. He was cautioned
against taking away the original sample, as that
was the basis of the transaction, but he refused to
leave it, saying that Mr. Anderton had not paid
for it, and it was not his. In cross-examination
by Mr. Lees, solicitor, who appeared for the pri-

Court Mr. Booth said, " When I took away the
slivers I comiderei them my own property, the
bargain having been annulled by the letter I re-
ceived from Mr. Anderton." The Mayor, after
hearing the evidence, said it was his painful duty
to send the case for trial at the sessions. Bail was
accepted for Mr. Booth's appearance to take his
trial.

tive capacity, as a protector, as well as a restorer of
health, its efficiency is attested by the grateful evidence of
those who have had experience in propria, persona.--The cir-
