SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under• Sheriff BURcHELLO
SHAW AND ANOTHER V. SKEIN

This wes en action to recover the sum of el. 18s. 84.
fn. goods sold and delivered. Plaintiffs are law-book
printers and publishers, and the demand was for "Poor-
law Forms" and sundry numbers of a publication, the
Justice of the Race.
Defendant, who is an attorney, pleaded in the first in-
stance the statute cf limitations, and secondly payment.
Mr. Johnson, the plaintiff's warehouseman, proved
that for some years previously, and up to the latter end
of 1847, the goods and numbers were transmitted through
tLe post to defendant, who then carried on his practice
at Upton-on-Severn, Worcestershire. Sometimes the
papers or books were posted at the General Post-office,
at others given to the postman, who called at the plain-
tiff.' shop in Fetter-lane.
Pia plaintiff' porter proved that he took all ti
parcels to the post-office, as-directed.
The plaintiff's cashier ;was called, and his evidence
went to show that two separate accounts had been kept
between the forms and the publication. Money bad
been received and applied to the settlement of the
" forms' account." It was no unusual thing to sue some
of their customers for a part of the account, yet keep
the accounts open in the ledger, for if credit was stopped,
fifty attorneys in the country would have their acoounts
closeA.—(Laughter.)

De.fendant's attorney contended that the plea of statute
of limitations ought to have been replied to, and a sub-
scquent promise to cagy uliowed, and that, us far as the
first item was concerned, without such a replication being
put on the record, defendant was clearly entitled to th
verdict.

The UNDER••SHERIIF WAS of opinion that that was 11
question for discussion before the Court above.
Defendant's Attorney then argued that a plaintiff'
could not split the account, and that as it was admitted
that a payment had been made, it ought to be taken to
payment of the account for the Justice of the Peace,
fur the amount demanded on that account, 64 16s. 4d.,
was paid in compliance with a letter received from plain-
tiff's' attorney, Mr. Nicholson.
Mr. Nicholson, of Furnival's Inn, was called, and
proved that he sued defendant for the sum in question,
and received the amount, which he handed over to
Messrs. Shaw and Co. He could not tell what the ac-
count was, as he had no particulars.

Plaintiffs' Counsel contended that there were two Se.-
parato accounts, and therefore the oversight in not senci‘
ing the second account ought not to prejudice the plain'
tiff', and was not a splitting of accounts, for the appli"
cation was not the first or second, and defendant's own
letters proved that ho was aware that he was only par
le g on the one account.
The UNDER-SHERIFF held that, as regarded 1/. 6s. 6d•+
perhaps the statute cf limitations might apply, but that
might be a question hereafter. The only question was,
whether any further sum was due after that paid to Mr•
Nicholson. If there had been an error, it was unfair
for defendant to take advantage of it. Ho had only
produced ono receipt, but not the one for the amount
which he was now sued for.
The jury found for the plaintiffs.

WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT.

(TUB DAY.)
(Before FnANcis BAYLEY, Esq.)
DWYER V. SIR A. W. HILLEARY, BART.
Ms Hot:unit gave judgment is this action, which WO
tried on Tuesday last, to recover the snm of 61. 6s. for
preparing and transcribing for defendant an address to
the electors of the county of Limerick, as candidate for
the representation in Parliament of that county, on the
vacancy created by the conviction of Mr. Smith O'Brien'
the former Member, in the year 1849. The plaintill
had been for 27 years the private, confidential, and
foreign correspondent of the Morning Post, and fulfilled
his duties in that capacity during the civil war in Spain'
and upon his return to England was introduced by a nr*
Willisr-ns as a person wheso literary qualifications,
coupled with his extensive political experience, would
be of service to the defendant, who then desired to ob-
tain a seat in Parliament. They had, however, we!
during the civil war in Spain, in th© year 1837. Several
of the letters were produced, for plaintiff' held out hope°,
in glowing terms to Sir Augustus that if he advancec,
1501, for the publication of a now work, the Court of
Rome," and distributed 150 copies Amongst the Catholic
clergy of Limerick, it would ensure success, as the
plaintiff would write such an eulogium upon the patriot-
ism of the defendant in the preface of the work, that it
would convince the electors of that place that they could
do nothing better than support the " English Baronet;
Another note recommended presenting his Holiness the
Pope with a copy of the work through Dr. William°,
who no doubt would issue a reecript to the Catholic
clergy in his favour. The Learned judge concluded by
raytin.?; that the only question ho had to decide wag'
whether the defendant had employed the plaintiff t 0
write the address in question. He thought from the
correspondence that he had not, although the plaintiff
might have inferred so from the tenour of some convex"
sations that had passed between them. The plaintil,,
mast, therefore, be nonsuitcd.

Au cpplicatio❑ was made for the costf, but was after-
vrarda withdrawn.
The court was crowded.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
John Stark and William Preston, two persons respect"
ably attired, though known as swell-mobsmen, ITYra
placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine charged with the
following assault:--
George Ives, messenger to the Admiralty, stated that
he was on duty delivering letters; last night about half'
past five o'clock, and was on his road throuah Adana"
street, Adelphi. As he passed along he sorted th
doctinvlnt, and when he reached Duke-street he Ea"
th.!: prisoners witk a female. Ile attempted to get by
them, but they jogged against him, and tho prisoner
Stark, catching hold of witness's waistcoat, tore it open'
and, pinioning his arms, tried to force him to drop t"
letters and other Admiralty documents. The fernol
seemed to act as a spy, and Preston came up to ass-
Stark. Witness, however, gave the latter a blow on the
nose that sent him reeling into the middle of the roan.
Stark then struck witness violently in the face. Ms"
sittance arriving they were given into custody.
This morning they pleaded drunkenness as an ".
cuss. They were fined 2/. each, or a month's imprison'
ment.—They were locked up.

IVIARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
EXTENSIVE PLATE ROBBERY.—John Collins Was
brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having
stolen a quantity of silver plate, value 2e01., from the
auction-rooms of Messrs. Rushworth and Jarvis,Saeille-
row.

Mr. E3mund Rushworth deposed that be was in part:
nership with Mr. Jarvis, and carried on the business et
auctioneer in Saville-row, and that in June, 1849, he had
a quantity of plate come into his rooms for sale, tbo
property of Mr. Thomas, silversmith, Bond-street. The
plate was advertised for sale on the 3d of July. On the
Saturday previous, which was the 30th of June, the
plate was expected to be delivered, but not arriving
before witness went away, his clerk sent a messenger,
to Mr. Thomas to tell him not to send it until
the following Monday ' • but unfortunately the
message was not delivered. In tho course of the
same evening the plate arrived and was delivered to the
prisoner, who at that time was in their employ as [per'
ter and warehouseman. On Monday the 2d of June,
1849, witness went to his rooms, and saw the junior
porter standing outside the door, which was cloSeu'
They tried to get in, but, not succeeding, a smith Wee
sent for to pick the lock, and when they effected an en-
trance into the auction-room it was discovered that the
whole of the plate was stolen. The prisoner not making
his appearance as usual was suspected to be the
and information was forwarded to the police.
James Edwards, shopman to Mr. Thomas, silversmith'
Bond-street, stated that, on Saturday, the 30th of Jove'
1849, between six and seven o'clock in the evening he
took to Messrs. Rushworth and Jarvis's auction rooms
quantity of silver plate, consisting of spoons, forlat
butter-boat, and dishes, to the value of 2001., which h"
delivered to the prisoner in the warehouse. The prr
soner locked a part of it in a side-board in the presence
of witness, and he (witness) then left the house.
Charles Cardwell said he was a porter, in the employ
of Messrs. Rushworth and Jarvis. He was with the Pr;
