PRICE V. ARNOLD.

This was an action to recover a sum of money for some
wine sold and delivered.

Mr. Buchanan appeared for defendant, and said that
defendant had had the wine, but the fct was that he ordered
it under the impression that it was from a debtor. A per-
son named Tudor used to keep the wine rooms, and defen-
dant, who is a tailor, had a claim against him. He called
one day and said to the person at the rooms, "Tell Mr.
Tudor to send me some wine," mentioning the quantity.
Mr. Buchanan—So your honour sees, we thought we had
Tudor's wine.

His Honour—Well, but you had Price's, and must pay.
Verdict for plaintiff.

—T-TIGENCE.—(THIS DAY.)
MANSION-BArc--
EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE.—A debtor, at prez,....
fined in the Queen's Bench Prison, was brought up in
custody of one of the prison officers and placed in the dock,
charged upon a warrant with robbing his late employer
Mr. Humphreys, jun., appeared for the prosecution, and
Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, for the prisoner.
The prosecutor, Mr. Buonaventura De Quatro, is a
cigar and tobacco manufacturer, of No. 10, St. Swithin's-
lane, and he charged the prisoner with stealing 56 lbs. of
cigars.

The case was proceeding when we went to press.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

AUDACIOUS ROBBERY.—William Lee, a young man, was
charged with the following audacious robbery in a dwell-
ing-house :

Prom the evidence it appeared that a litttle after seven
o'clock a constable named Syland had his attention called
to the prisoner and another man, the prisoner at the time
carrying a bundle and the other a box. He went after them,
and just as he was near the prisoner he turned round and
dropped the bundle and made off. The constable, however,
pursued him, and on seizing him near the University Col-
lege he threw at him a chain ornament, which missed him,
but was broken into pieces. On asking him where he got
the bundle, he said he picked it up on a door step. He took
him into custody, the other man having escaped, and on
searching him found on him a box of lucifers and a wax
taper.

Miss Harriet Elliott, of 6, Hampstead-street, Fitzroy-
square, said that while in bed at six that morning she was
awoke by hearing the rustling of a silk dress in her sitting
room, and on jumping out of bed she saw the prisoner
crawling on his hands and knees towards the room door.
She said, " Who's there ?" and the prisoner replied, " It's
all right, Miss." She rang the bell for her landlord, and
she heard the prisoner shut the street door after him. On
examining the place she missed some moire antique dresses,
a desk, and other articles, of the value of about £3O, ale•
some china ornaments. There were no marks of violence
on the door.

The prisoner put some questions to the last witness, but
the only effect they had was to strengthen the case against
him.

The prisoner, in answer to Mr. Bingham, said he would
reserve his defence, and was committed for trial.
THE AUTHOR AND THE ORGAN (IRINDERS.—Pietri
Elvandi, an Italian, residing at Saffron-hill, a locality where
organ grinders "most do congregate," was charged with
annoying Mr. Charles W. Day, author and artist, of 62,
New Bond-street, who has on several occasions had to
-,mplain of the annoyance he was subjected to by the corn-
Paul". -f the prisoner.
From the
of Mr. Day, who, besides having the
usual cares and anxie,.,
; j.t on his profession as as
artist and author, is in
state ofti health, it ap-
peared that for some time he had bet
organ grinders, and on the previous day annoybeed
Fbay
playing in front of his house and refused to desist 9rro.. thn.
standing he told him in Italian to do so. He then went
for a constable, and as soon as one appeared in sight he
walked off.

Mr. Bingham said he thought they knew how much he
liked quietness, and that they communicated with one
another with the view of driving him out of his senses.
Mr. Day said he was determined they should not.
The organ-grinder said a boy told him to play.
Mr. Bingham said that might be, but the order to ge
prevailed over that to play, and with the view of protecting
Mr. Day he should fine them on every occasion 10s. or
seven days.
