nation.

•
Another Gentleman attended to prefer a charge, but liis!
transaction with Mr. Bloonifield not amounting to any thil3g,
criminal, it was not proceeded upon.
The investigation of the charge of Mr. William Shearly, Qt
Rockingham-row, New Kent-road which has hitherto appilsrtd
the most serious, was then called on, but Mi. Shearly did rot
appear; a letter .was handed to the Magistrates , from .3lr-
Sirearly, stating that he begged leave to withdraw the char.V
which he had preferred against Mr. Benj. Bloomfield; having
had since. reason to believe that his suspicions as to the non-
.payment of the money were premature, and in consequence, by
the advice of his attorney, lie mis satisfied to make it a debt.
In addition to the letter, Mr. CHAS. PHinnips, the NIL"
rister, attended, and addreSsed the Magistrates at conliders_Abl'
length on behalf of Mr. Bloomfield, and contended that hen":
no intention, nor we's there any evidence to prov,
tended to defraud Mr. Shearly. As to the 2001. which i.
Bloomfield received of Mr. Shearly, he.had given his',/0013'
for it ; and after that Al r. Shearly so incessantly pestered nirn
to be put in possession of the place or appointment, that be
se:freely missed a day without calling upon him. One
when „lir. Bloomfield was sitting ,at his desk, he having
101. notes in his desk, tendered them to Mr. Shearly, m. col -
! dition of his giving up his bond ; but Mr. Shearly not having
it about him prevented the business being settled at that time-,
.The Magistrates, notwithstanding, ordered Mr. SherjlY
name to be called over three times, which was accordingly done'
and he not appearing, Mr. Bloonifitlii was ordered to be dl5;
charged ; however, they afterwards directed that he should tic"'
bail to answer any charge that might be preferred against :ail"'
at the Sessions, himself in 1601. and two sureties in SOL each"
