•
WELTZLEIN V. ZACCARIAH.

Mr. H. James appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr
Kearns, Q.C., and another learned gentleman for
the defendant.

Mr. IL James, in opening the case, said that
this was an action by his client for false imprison.,
went, and he claimed damages. The plaintiff was
a young man, a native of Germany, but who had
been in business for some years it, this country as a
jeweller. The defendant was in partnership with
his brother in the Edgware-road, and was also a
dealer in jewellery. The plaintiff had different busi-
ness translctions with him,and had lent him money,
and it appeared that they were on intimate and
friendly terms- for about two years. In the course
of his business, the plaintiff occasionally met a per-
son named L'ington, who stated to him that he was
a commercial traveller, and that lie was employed
by a person who dealt. in jewellery. Last October
the defendant informed the plaintiff that Langton
had applied to him for some jewellery, and be asked
his advice as to whether he should let him have it.
The plaintiff stated that his knowledge of Langton
was limited, and advised him to make some inquiries
respecting him before he parted with his goods.
This the defendant did not do, and gave Langton
articles to the amount of between £l5 and £2O, re-
ceiving a cheque purporting to be drawn .by the
party by whom he stated he was employed, but it
proved to be a forgery. The defendant wanted the
plaintiff to pay him Langton's debt, and on his re-
fusing to do so gave him into custody on the 18th
October on a charge of conspiring with Langton to
defraud him. 'He was taken before the magistrate
at Marlborough Police-court, and, after being re-
manded three times and detained in custody, he
was discharged, there being no evidence against
him. The magistrate would have taken bail,

but, being a foreigner he could not procure it wit

out applying to his wife's friends, a course which he
did not like to adopt.
The plaintiff was examined at length, and swore
positively that he never recommended the defen-

dant to let Langton have the goods, which the
defendant alleged was the case.
The evidence was not concluded' when we went
to press.
