WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday James 11lawby, clerk to Mr. George
Henry Chi!coat, of No. 3, Bond-court, Walbrook,
attorney, was placed at the bar for final examination
on a charge of conspiring, with another person un-
known, to throw John Beazley into prison, upon a
pretended debt of 1001., sworn 'to be'due to a person
named Fisher.

. •
A solicitor attended to defend the prisoner.
The depositions previously taken having been read
over, Mr. Boddy, from the Bill of Middlesex office,
produced the precipe and gidavit
upon which the

writ against Beazley issued, but he could not identify
the person who swore the affidavit, and stated that
to his knowledge he had never seen the prisoner un-
,iiw him in custody.
'it., pris(nier's solii-itot i r ceedo-1 to question Mr.
;,s to iris authority to O.:- an affidavit, and
from Ha, that a person no acquitted
t ti e tlld Bailey when tried for pet:jury, because
the appointment was not upon a proper stamp. That
defect, however, was recognized by Mr. Justice
Bailey and two of the Puisne Judges.
Mr. BRoUGHTON observed to the attorney, that
the prisoner was not there charged with perjury, but
was brought there on the charge of conspiracy, and
whether the instrument itself were good or not upon
which complainant was incarcerated, any two per-
sons who should conspire and make use of it, to
throw him into prison, and damnify him, would be
indictable. Suppose, for instance, that two persons
were to obtain the printed form of a warrant, and
till it up in his (the magistrate's) name, against any
other person, and the gaoler, deceived by the signa
ture, were to imprison that individual, the parties
would be punishable for the injury inflicted upon the
individual by their conspirdey, although the instru-
ment itself was not worth a rush.

Mr. Chilcoat being sworn, stated that the pri-
soner had been in his employ since last September,
as his out-door clerk, at 255. a week, and had no
authority to issue a writ without consulting the wit-
ness. The witness knew of no client named Fisher,
and said that the first he knew of an action
againt Beazley was upon the receipt of a note from
Josephs, the sheriff's officer, announcing the exe-
cution of the writ. He then looked in the precipe
book and saw the entry, " Wm. Jonathan Fisher
against Beazley," and asked Mawby about it, who
told him that it was a just and bona fide debt, and
that now was the proper time to proceed, as Beaz-
ley had come in for a 2001. legacy. The witness
said he was afterwards out of town, and heard no
more of the case until he saw a report in the Times
newspaper on Monday night, upon which he imme-
diately came to London. The writing in the precipe
book and the body of the affidavit, but not the sig-
nature to the latter, were the prisoner's writing.
Cross-examined by the prisoner's solicitor—Mr.
Chilcoat said, he had not at that time any clerk but
the prisoner, who had a boy under him. The pri-
soner was employed to transact the out-door busi-
ness, and was not authorized to issue a writ when
the witness was not absent without consulting him.
He was in London when this writ issued.

Solicitor—There is another entry in the book
against Beazley.
Mr. Chilcoat said, that when he looked in the
precipe book upon the receipt of the bailiff's note
for the execution of the writ " Fisher v. Beazley,"
he also saw the entry of" Mawby v. Beazley," for 201.
Mr. BROUGHTON—And what account did he give
you of that ? Witness—He said it was for a tres-
pass, and that they were both entered together.
Solicitor—Have you been debited for the expense
of those writs ? The witness said he had not looked
over the prisoner's cash-book for two or three weeks,
and could not tell.

Solicitor—lf instructions came from a client in the
country would not he be authorized to proceed ?
The witness in answer, and afterwards to a question
of the Magistrate, said the prisoner would if he were
absent, but he was not absent when the entry was
made, and therefore the prisoner had no authority.
The complainant Beazley, being desired to state
all that had taken place with respect to the 20).
action, said, on the evening after he had served the
summons for 1/. 19s. 9d. upon the prisoner, the
latter delivered to him a bill "of particulars for
trespass and debt," and it was followed the next
day by a copy of a writ, which he took to his attor-
ney, and it was put off till November.

Mr. BROUGHTON—What sort of a bill was it.
Did the word " trespass" appear in it ?—The wit-
ness said yes; it charged him with 201. trespass,
and Bd. debt. The Bd. he admitted to be a just debt.
Mr. BROUGHTON—And what was the trespass?—
Complainant—There was an old shed in my gar-
den, and I pulled it down. I never let it to the pri-
soner or his wife, but he had a pot or a kettle in it
which I turned out, and he called it a trespass.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Was that stated when you
were before the Commissioners ? Complainant.—
Yes; I told them the whole from beginning to end,
and they said to him, " What, 20/. trespass for
kicking out an old pot; pay him down the money
(I/. 19s. 9d.) immediately."
Mr. BROUGHTON, after hearing all the evidence,
said the only question had been, whether the pri-
soner should be charged with forgery or conspiracy,
but he and his brother Magistrate, Mr. Twyford,
now agreed that the prisoner should be tried for
conspiracy.

The prisoner was required to give bail, himself in
801., and two sureties in 401. each.

TRICKING A JEW.—A venerable son of Israel,
named Moses Mayer, whose beard swept his breast,
and ,whose hair fell profusely upon his shoulders,
white with the winter of many years, appeared yes-
terday to prefer a charge a.,2:ainst a young man called
IV. Gardiner under the following circumstances :
Moses—Yesterday morning, please your vurship,
I vash in de streets in de Mint, and vas cry " Closh,
old closh, to sell," ven de young man dere comed up
to me vith a hat in his hand, and say, " Moshes, I
vill sell you dish hat." " How mooch you ask for
it ?" I say. He say, " I vant eighteen-pence."
" Veil," I say, " I viii give you von sheeling." He
say, " e'er veil." I give him de sheeling, your
vurship, and he give me de hat. I vash again begin
to cry " Closh, closh," vhen anoder young fellar
runned up to me, and say, " Give me my hat, you
Jew scoundrall, it hash been stolane from me." I
say, " My dear young man, I buy de hat; if you viii
give me my sheeling, dere is de hat." He say,
" No," and immediately seize my beard, and pull my
silver spectacles off my nose, and runned away vith
'em. Here is de hat I buy, your Vurship.
Mr. SWABEY—That hal is worth ten shillings.
Complainant (presenting the hat to the magis-
strate)— Den your vurship it is yours for eighteen-
pence.

His Worship declined purchasing.
Complainant—Oh ! you von't buy it so very
sheape; veil, your Vurship, I vent to look for de
young man vhich sell me de hat, and I give him in
de hands of a constable. My spectacles cost me
sixteen shilling, but vas vorth to me as much as
venty guineas.

The-defendant denied all knowledge of the trans-
action both as to the hat and spectacles.
Mr. SWABEY—As there are no witnesses to prove
the charge I must acquit the prisoner ; blq I be-
lieve it to be a complete trick got up to cheat the
old man out of a shilling. Howo.er, if the spectacles
be not delivered up upon the hat being restored, tho
matter shall not rest here.—The parties then 'eft
the of ice,

The Earl of ABERDEEN came to town yes-
terday morning, from his residence, at the Priory, near
Stanmore.
