THE CASE OF MR. LLOYD.

Yesterday police sergeant Mundy came before Mr. Ser.
jeant Sellon, at Hatton-garden police-office, and reported
that Mr. Lloyd (whose case appeared in our Paper of
yesterday) had been removed by a friend from the George-
street station-house.

Mr. Serjeant Sellon inquired the name and residence of
that friend.

Mundy replied, " the Rev. Mr. Caldwell, of 20,
May's-buildings, St. Martin's-lane."

Mr. Serjeant Sellon—Well, 'tis a very extraordinary
case, and I am very happy that he is with his friends.
Mundy then went on to state that on his arrival at the
station-house with Mr. Lloyd, who walked without hat,
shirt, stockings, or shoes, he sent for the Rev. Mr. Cald-
well. A very short time elapsed before that gentleman
arrived, and was introduced to Mr. Lloyd, whom he re-
ceived very kindly, and then inquired what charge there
was against him. To this question he (Mundy) related
the whole particulars of the case, adding that he had taken
him before the magistrates in consequence of a supposition
that he was insane. Mr. Caldwell made answer that he
was not at all surprised to find his friend in the condition
he then saw him ; that he was aware of his intention to
act as he had done, but that he did not expect it to occur
so soon ; that lie believed Mr. Lloyd had acted according
to his own principles, and in perfect accordance with the
Christian religion, and that he was quite at liberty to do
as he thought proper.
Mr. Serjeant Sellon—What became of Sullivan?

Mundy—Mr. Caldwell, as also Mr. Lloyd, insisted
upon his keeping the clothes he had on ; and, as that was
the case, he was desired to go about his business.
Mr. Serjeant Sellon—Did Mr. Lloyd leave the station_
house in Sullivan's dress ?

Mundy—Yes, your Worship. Ile left, leaning on Mr.
Caldwell's arm, and went to the residence of that gentle..
man. A number of persons followed them for some dis-
tance, but myself and several other constables prevented
their being molested.
Mr. Serjeant Sellon said that he hid never heard of
such a case before ; adding that Mundy acted very right
in bringing it before a magistrate.
The conversation then dropped.

ASSIZES-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-.LANCISTER, AuG. 21.

GARDENER V. COWARD.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the
defendant to recover the value of a mare. It appeared
from the evidence of the plaintiff's witnesses that the
plaintiff and defendant met at Ulverston fair in January
last, and the defendant asked the plaintifff if he had a horse
for sale. The plaintiff said he had, and the price was 12
guineas. The de'endant agreed to give 121., and paid a
deposit of 5/. to bind the bargain.
Four witnesses were examined, and they swore in the
most positive manner that the horse was perfectly sound,
and that only a week before they saw the animal draw a
cart, heavily laden with turf, up a steep hill, and she did
not exhibit the least symptom of being brokea-winded.
They admitted that she was sold in March last, when
with foal, for six guineas.

On the part of the defendant several witnesses were ex-
amined, and they declared in the most positive manner
that the mare was so broken-winded, that she could pro-
ceed only a very short distance before she was compelled
to stop.

A verdict was returned for the plaintiff for 11/. 15s.
the amount claimed.

BRISTOL, AUGUST 22.
WILLIAMS V. JARROTT.

In this case the parties are from---Glamorganshire, and
the action was brought by the plaintiff to recover 90/. on
a bill of exchange for two months, purporting to have
been drawn by the defendant in favour of one John Harris,
who indorsed it to the plaintiff. After some preliminary
proof, a witness of the name of Hughes was placed in the
box to prove the defendant's signature to the bill, which
he swore to have seen the defendant sign. He was cross-
examined by Mr. Serjeant Alereweather, and admitted
that the bill, though it bore date on the Ist of August,
IS3I, was in fact drawn in the middle of July, and by
the defendant given to him to deliver to Harris a week
before the Ist of August. Upon this the Learned Ser-
jeant took an objection to the admissibility of the bill in
evidence, it not having the proper stamp affixed to it.
Mr. Crowder followed on the same side, and the ques-
tion was very ably argued by Mr. Follett for the plaintiff,
who urged that if the objection taken by the other side
were held fatal in the action, there would not in future be
any safety to persons engaged in commercial pursuits,
from the facility it would afford to the drawer and indor•
ser of a bill of exchange thus concerting together, and
thus defeating a bona fide holder, who could not be
aware of the bill being post dated. The Learned Judge
(Mr. Justice Patteson) decided that the objection was well
taken, and upon Mr. Follett urging that a nonsuit should
be entered, with leave for the plaintiff to move to set
it aside, the Learned Judge stated—" So strongly do I
fief the arguments in support of the objection, and so
convinced am I in my own mind of their being well foun-
ded, that I cannot consent to do what you ask we, since
we have so far entered into the case." The plaintiff was
accordingly nonsuited, but Mr. Follett intimated to his
Lordship his intention to bring the case under the consi-
deration of the Court of King's Bench.

Dr. INGLEBY, commonly called the Emperor
of the Conjurors, died at Enniscorthy on Saturday last.
