SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCUELL )
WEsT HACKNEY RENT CHARGE—TITRES.

This was an action brought by the Rev. Thomas
Davis Levnb, Rector of West Hackney, to recover the
sum of 101. 13s. 6d. for two years' rent charge on the al-
lotment 269.

The Counsel for the plaintiff said this was a proceed.
ing under the 6 and 7 William IV., known as the Titho
Consolidation Act, by which tithes were abolished, and
creating a rent charge on the land in lieu thereof. In
this case the allotments and charges had been sanctioned
according to Act of Parliament by the Tithe Commis-
sioners. Ile would prove in evidence that two years'
rent charge was still unpaid. The rent charge was
54 ss. 7d. per annum, but subject to be varied according to
the average price of corn for seven years previous to the
Thursday before Christmas-day in each year. On those
averages, published in each year in the London Gazette,
the charge was increased 2s. 2d. in 1848, and 2d. in 1849.
Mr. Masters, the collector, was called, and provel the
arrears due; he had not applied to the landlord, as he
was only required by the Act to apply to the occupier.
The actual defendant is a widow, residing at Tin gey's-
buildings, Hackney. She now attended, an pleaded in-
ability to pay, and considered she ought not to be
charged, as she had not had any cattle on the ground
during the time.
Mr. Masters said that made no difference.
The jury gave a verdict for the sum claimed.
HOLDSCAMP V. PRITCHARD.

The plaintiff is a stationer in the City, and defendant
resides in Doctors'-commons, and the sum claimed was
41. 18% f,or goods sold.
For the defendant it was contended that by the 112th
clause in the City Small Debts' Act, no action could be
brought in the superior courts on debts under 201. con-
tracted in the City.
The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF thought that it did not
prevent the jury from giving a verdict, though it might
affect the costs.

A verdict was given for the amount.
smut v. BOUTIIILL.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of 201.
for one year's rent of garden ground at Haverstock
Hill
Mr. HAWKINS stated the case, and said he would put
in a written agreement duly stamped, in which the de-
fendant undertook to pay the rent, he therefore could
not conceive what ground there was for the plea of not
indebted.
A witness was called, who proved that he read the
agreement over to defendant before it was signed.
Mr. KINGDox (defendant's attorney) cross-examined.
the witness, to elicit, if possible, that the amount was
stated in error, and ought to have been 20e. instead of
201. He, however, failed in doing so.
The jury gave a verdict for 20/.

BOW -STBEET.—(THIS DAY.)
A tall powerful-locking young man, named Thomas
Jackson, was charged with stealing a loaf of bread
valued at 2d.
Mr. Melville, a baker, in George-street, Tottenham-
court-road, stated that last night the prisoner came into
his shop, and taking up the bread ran off with it. Ho
pursued him, and on overtaking him, the prisoner de-
clared that it had been his intention to commit a rob-
bery of some sort.
The prisoner said he had been without victuals for
two days, except a trifle a policeman gave him at Thaw,
and hunger drove him to it. Ho asked for relief before
he took the bread.

Mr. HALL—Where do you come from? Prisoner—
Staffordshire.

Mr. HALL—How do you get your living? Prisoner—
I am a labouring man.
Mr. HALL said it was quito useless to tend him to
the House of Detention, tor thcro he would live in
ek.v.T. It was quite evident he was a tramp goi▪
ng
about begging una thieving; in this way, and the best
thing to be done was to send him to the sessions for tri▪
al.
The prisoner was acoordly committed.
