SHERIFFS COURT.-(THISDAY.;

(Before Deputy-Sheriff J. R. KENNEDY, Esq.)
STULTZ V. LITTLE.

This was an action brought by Messrs. Stultz, Honseley,
and Co., the celebrated West-end tailors, to recover 13/. Is.
from a gentleman, named Little, rcsiding in Pall Mall East.
Mr. Finn appeared for the plaintiffs; Mr. Mellor for the
defence.

Mr. FINN briefly stated the muse of action, which was to
the effect that Mr. Little, in June last, employed his clients,
first to alter and remake a riding habit for Mrs. Little, and,
afterwards, to supply a pardeseau, a lady's garment, something
analagous in its use to a gentleman's Chesterfield, or top coat.
The prices charged were :—For altering the riding-habit,
2/. 55., and for the pardeseau complete, 121. 55., making in
all 141. 10s. It was the practice of the trade to allow 10 per
cent. if an account was paid within six months, which would
reduce it to 13/. Is. The defendant requested the bill to be
sent in on the completion of the articles, which was done,
when he objected, in strong terms, to the prices charged,
and in a day or two after called at Messrs. Stultz's establish-
ment, where, after using very improper language towards Mr.
Housley, who was present, he tendered, as payment in full,
a Bank of England note for 101. This Mr. Houseiy refused
to take as a settlement of the account, and the defendant
left. Nothing further was done till Christmas, when the
account was sent in in due course, on which defendant posi-
tively declared he would not pay it. In consequence of
this refusal the present action was brought.
Evidence was called to prove this statement, and that the
prices charged, considering the standing in the trade of the
Messrs. Stultz, were fair and reasonable.
Mr. Mellor's defence was, that the prices were extrava-
gant, and that the 10b offered was a fair sum in discharge
of the account. Evidence was called to show this.

The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdit
for 11/. 14s.

CLERKENWELL.-7(THIS DAY.)

A miserable-looking woman, who gave her residence at
Charles-street, Drury-lane, was charged on suspicion of
stealing a spade.
The spade was seen under her arm whilst she was walking
along Gray's Inn-lane, by 110 G. The constable said he
watched her closely, and saw her going into a pawnbroker's
shop. She said the spade was her husband's.
Sergeant Wilkinson said the woman was not known to the
police.

The prisoner said she was going to pawn the article. She
was remanded to Friday neat.
