LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF KINGS BENCH.

Mr. Justice LITTLBDALB sat this day at Guild-
hall, in the absence of Lord TBNTERDEN.

CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY.
TUE KING V. TREVETT AND OTHERS.

This was an indictment against W. Dunnam, R.
Trevett, and others, for a conspiracy to defraud Mr.
Hannam, a wine-merchant, by falsely representing
W. Dunnam to be a person in solvent circumstances.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, and Messrs. GURNEY
and PLATT, conducted the prosecution; and eight
Counsel appeared for the several defendants.
The ATTORNBY-GENERAL stated, that the de-
fendant, W. Dunnam, had been seijeant at mace,
and was in very embarrassed circumstances, a fact
which was well known to all the defendants. The
prosecutor, Mr. Hannam, was a young man who had
lately commenced business as a wine-merchant, and
his clerk, whose name was May, having learned that
Dunnam had taken a public-house called the Three
Tuns, in Coleman-street, inquired of Trevett, who
was a shoemaker, as to Dunnam's circumstances, and
Trevett represented Dunnam to be as safe as the
Bank of England; May then applied to Dunnam
for his custom for his master, Mr. Hannam, and on
the strength of Trevett's representatiens to May,
Dunnam obtained credit from Mr. Hannam to the
amount of 3601. for wines and spirits. Dunnam had
taken the Three Tuns in July 1825, and became .a
bankrupt in October, when his stock consisted of port,
sherry, claret, and burgundy, which he had obtained
in large quantities, on credit, from different parties.
As soon as the wines purchased from Mr. Hannam,
and which were in the King's stores, had been
transferred to Dunnam, and became his property, a
warrant of attorney was issued by Trevett, and the
property was taken possession of, by him, for a debt
alleged to have been incurred by Hannam, so far
back as the year 1819. Hannam afterwards became
a bankrupt, and there was good reason to suppose
that many factitious debts were proved under the
Commission, but the Counsel admitted that their
acts could not be brought home to the defendants,
though they were all aware of Hannam's abject in-
solvency. •
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said there was no use in
proceeding with the case, as the indictment could
not be supported, according to the Attorney-Ge-
neral's statement.
After some consultation, his Lordship's opinion
was acquiesced in by the Counsel, and the indict-
ment was withdrawn.
This case having been expected to occupy the en-
tire day, the parties in the causes which followed
were not in attendance, and the Court rose at twelve
o'clock.

This was the last day of Sitting, at Guildhall.
Lord Tenterden sits on Monday, at Nisi Prins,
in Westminster; and Mr. Justice Bailey, Mr. Justice
Littledale, and Mr. Justice Holroyd, sit in the Bail
Court, in Banco, under his Majesty's warrant.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

WALES V. PHILIPS.

The Court was occupied 'up to the time of our
going to press with this cause, which was an action
by the owner of a ship, against the underwriter, to
recover a policy of insurance effected on her.
