SINGULAR CASE.

On Saturday last, at the Bradford Courthouse,
Mr. Thomas Booth, woolstapler and top-maker, of
near Shipley, was charged before the
mayor with stealing " one original sample sliver of
mohair tops." Mr. Terry, 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
case of felony against the prisoner, it would be the
duty of the bench to commit him for trial, leaving
a jury to decide as to whether he had taken posses-
sion of the property in question bona fide, believ-
ing that he had a right to do so, or what the intent
was. After citing several cases somewhat similar
to the present, in which juries had convicted and
judges had confirmed convictions, Mr. Terry pro-
ceeded 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
been 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 Ball-yard, Bradford, April 28, 1858.
I Sir,—The tops you have delivered are inferior is
colour and quality to your sample by which they were
sold, and they cannot be taken to account •, they lie here
'iwaiting your instructions for disposal, and I must re-
quest immediate fulfilment of the order with proper
quality.

"(P. pro. J. W. Anderton.)

J. S. COLEFAX.

"Mr. Thomas Booth."
On Wednesday morning Mr. Booth 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 latter observing that these 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-
soner, Mr. Colefax said that on Tuesday morning
last the prisoner went to the prosecutor's ware-
house with the letter, of which a copy is given
above, and asked what it meant. He was told that
it sufficiently explained on which he left the
letter ou the counter and went away. To the
Court Mr. Bsotli said, " When I took away the
slivers I considered 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.
