ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY,

IN RE BEDSON.
This was a petition to set aside the decision of the Master,
who had admitted certain items in a bill of costs, which, it
was contended, were not chargeable in a solicitor's bill. These
items included charges for attendance for the purpose of
lending money, legacy dut7, &c., and the cases cited in point
were Hayes v. Trotter, Franklin v. Featberstonhaugh, and
Willison v. Hodson.
The question involved was one of a purely legal technical
character.

SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
LILLY V. CLARE.
This was an action to recover the sum of 21 3s. Oid. for
goods sold. The plaintiff is a greengrocer in Buckingham-
street, Strand, and the defendant a lady residing` in George-
street, Adelphi.
Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plaintiff, and Mi. Ralph
Thomas for the defendant, who pleaded payment.
The plaintiff's son, his porter, and bookkeeper were called,
and the first two proved the delivery of sundries, but could
not fix the price • they, however, mentioned the amounts at
the time to the bookkeeper, who entered them, but they did
not see the entries made. One of defendant's servants proved
receiving some articles at the house, but could not tell the
amount. The bookkeeper swore he made faithful entries as
the items were named to him. Defendant had been sum-
moned to the Court of Requests for I/. 198. It did not,
however, appear on what ground the summons was dismissed
—all the witnesses, however, were examined—they now ad-
mitted the bill contained the same items now proved.
Mr. HAWKINS said that it was dismissed, as being out of
the jurisdiction of the Court.
Mr. THOMAS said it was on the evidence of a witness who
could not now be found, who deposed to the bill being paid.
The SECONDARY said that the jury had nothing to do with
what had occurred at any other Court. It was clear the
plaintiff was entitled to something, as payment had not been
proved. He only knew of entries made at the dictation of
another being received in evidence, where the party dictating
had an opportunity of seeing that the entries were correctly
made.—The jury gave a verdict for the full amount.

CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.)
A notorious thief, who on this occasion gave the name of
'Charles West, but who has a variety of aliases, by some of
which he bas been hitherto convicted, was charged by Mr.
Jost ph Gibbon, son of Sir John Gibbon, with picking pockets
at a fire.

Mr. Gibbon deposed that he was present at a fire in the
New-road, which consumed three houses, on Wednesday
night. An immense mob had assembled, amongst whom the
prisoner was busilv engaged plying his vocation of
picking pockets. The mode in which the prisoner
pursued his craft• was artful enough—pretend-
ing to have been driven, •by the force of the
mob behind, he ran against people's sides, taking care
to feel their pockets as be passell„and in case they proved
heavy he speedily disburdened them. Mr. Gibbon gave him
into custody.
Mr. COMBE, after complimenting Mr. Gibbon for his con-
duct on this as well as upon other occasions, sentenced the
prison er to three months' imprisonment.
John and Susannah Morris were charged with stealing a
spaniel dog, value V. 10s.

• .
The owner being drunk, the prisoners met hiin at the
Angel tap, and, according to the prosecutor's testimony, stole
the dog. They afterwards sold the animal for 1/. 15s. to
Madame Barlowe, a French lady 'residing in Old-street,
Islington.—They were both committed for trial.
