SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)

NOVEL ➢LODE FOR RAISING TIIE WIND--CURIOUS DISCLO-
SURES ABOUT PUBLIC• HOUSES-RAPHAEL V. BILLING..
TON.

, This was an action to recover £5O for cigars sold and
delivered to defendant, plaintiff being a cigar importer and
manufacturer, of Leman-street, Whitechapel, and defendant
described as of the Napier Tavern, High Holborn.
Mr. Buchanan, for plaintiff, said the value of the goods
was £57 10s., but £7 10s. was abandoned.
Phillip Raphael, plaintiff's brother, said he delivered the
cigars to defendant for cash. Defendant wanted credit,
and, this being refused, declined to return the cigars unless
he had 2s. 6d. per lb. profit. This was agreed to, but de-
fendant backed out, and kept the cigars.
Cross-examined—I did not get two bills of exchange for
them. He said he had, and refused to give back the cigars
unless he had his bills and 2s. 6d. per lb. profit ; but as I
have had no bills, it was nonsense.
Henry Raphael said he was the plaintiff, and sold the
cigars through the last witness for cash. 'Would not have
given defendant credit. Tendered defendant £8 odd for
the cigars, but defendant wanted some bills which I had
not.

Defendant's ledger was handed to the Court, and much
merriment was created by an entry, "Thomas Billington,
I prophesy you'll be a bankrupt."
Mr. Todd, for defendant, said he should prove that bills
were given.

Defendant said he had been bothered to buy the cigar;,
and gave Phillip Raphael two bills, one for £7105., and
one for MO. When plaintiff demanded his cigars, witness
insisted upon having 2s. 6d. per pound and his bills..
(Laughter.) A guarantee was offered that bills would not
be presented, but I wished to consult my accountant, who
is my legal adviser. (Laughter.)
Cross-examined—There has been a sale upon the pre-
mises, but the cigars are not included. They are now in
my possession. There was a distress for rent, but I was
only put in the house by an attorney who guaranteed it.
(Laughter.)

By the Judge—l did not consider it prudent to tell the
lawyer about these cigars. I am now a servant at the
Napier Tavern. The name of Wood is up. Wood is my
accountant. (Laughter.) I forget where the cigars now
are. (Laughter.) I have pledged them for £l5 at Mr.
Tings, 194, Tottenham-court-road.

Jane Bevis said she saw Philip Raphael sign the bills,
and take them away with him.

His Honour at once found for the plaintiff, and ordered
the debt to be paid forthwith, adding, " You know where
the cigars are Mr. Buchanan."

Mr. Beadon, having cautioned the prisoner, asked
whether she wished to plead, and she said she had done it
through want.
Mr. Beadon said it was a remarkable fact that two other
boxes had been broken open so near the time. Had she
broken into the church it would have been a serious
offence.
