a coat, and not having sufficient money about him at the time, aq
left 50. in the hands of Moses as a deposit for a coat, telling him
that he should call in,a few dayi to complete the purchase. He
was prevented, however, by some accident, from calling on the
Jew until some weeks after, when the latter denied all knowledge
of his person, and refused either to let him have the coat for which
he bargained, or the sum which he had paid as a deposit. " I
called on him repeatedly," continued Donald, " and even offered to
take a second-hand- waistcoat for the 55., hat he only laughed at
my claim : so finding that I could do nothing with him by fair
means, I thought I would joost wait a wee, and try and get my ain."
Mr..MINSPIULL, however, decided that Donald was not justifi-
ed in the course which he had taken, and he accordingly directed
him to divest himself of the trousers, and restore them to the Jew,
advising him at the same time to summon the latter to the Court
of Requests, for the ss. which he alleged to have paid him on

former occasion.
Poor Donald, who had flattered himself that possession, ac-
cording to the old proverb, was nine points of the law, seemed
right loth to disincumber his person of the disputed garment, for
which, notwithstanding • the slight defect noticed by the Jew, he
seemed to entertain a fond regard. He, however, bowed to the
decision of the Magistrate, and withdrew to the back of the office
to restore to their legal owner the article in question.
It was announced in the 'course of yesterday by Ledbeater the
officer, that Mr. Charles Grindell, whose name has recently ap-
peared in connection with a:case of assault of more than ordinary
ordinary interest, has been visited since his committal to prison
!)y symptoms of insanity, and he is said to be now under the care
of two medical gentlemen, who concur in opinion that his intel-
lects are disordered. The health of the elder Mr. Grindell re-
mains unimpaired, with the exception of a sensible diminution of
his powers of vision, which his attendant Dr. Mitchell attributes
to the *baking he received while under the control of the persons
by whom he was forcibly removed to Tunbridge Wells. His
niece Mrs. Grindell is far from being recovered from the effects of
the rough usage which she suffered.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Abraham Cohen charged
- - -

two gentlemen's servants with robbing him of a watch and a so-
vereign. It appeared that the conscientious Israelite bad been
trying to deceive them by a bargain, but was himself deceived
by a bet. The watch was given up, and the cue dismissed.

with him nearly two years, during which time he, prosecutor,
had repeatedly missed quantities of gold, and other things,
and suspicion attaching itself to sorne of the workmen, they were,
at different times, discharged. About a week since, he
received information from a tradesman in Spital-fields, that the
prisoner had been there offering sonic gold for sale, on two dif-
ferent occasions, and that he had no doubt he was robbing him.
In consequence of this information, he gave some gold to the pri-
sonar to work up, and on the same evening sent for an officer to
take him into custody.
Davies, a constable, searched the prisoner and found gold,
amounting to 1/. 15e. The gold was identified by Mr. Carpen,

shop of Mr. Benson, a stationer, in the King's-road.
Several other charges being expected to be brought against
them, they were remanded.
