BAINSBRIDGE V. WYATT.

The Plaintiff in this case was a butcher, and the
defendant a milk-sellet in the, Borough., The sum
sought to be recovered, was G;. g 4. being the price
of a kg of mutton, weighing gibs. which the de-
fendant contended he was not liable to pay for, he
having received it from the Plaintiff under the fol-
lowing circurnwanceit :—On Saturday evening, the
9th of November lust, the defendant went to the
plaintiff's shop,, with • whom he was acquainted, to
purchase something for the following day's dinner.
The plaintiff was at that.time extremely busy, and.
the defendant having a most unfortunate impedi-
ment in his speech, delayed the busy butcher so
long, befere he could make his wants known, that
he became IMpatient, d—d him for a stammeting
booby, and destred'him either to go to another shop,
or speak plain, saying, at the same time, if he would
do the, hitter, he would give him .what he wanted
for nothing.
.The defendant,, who it
,appeared pos-
sessed a poetical genius, immediately took pen and'
paper, and wrote what rhe called. a song,
.the bur-
then of which was, " I want that leg Y. mutton ;"
which, to the extreme entertainment at the persons
present, be chaunted with the greatest facility, and
the butcher handed ihe leg of mutton down to him:
So far the plaintiff liked the joke well ; but a few
days afterwards he sent his hill tor the, mutton to
the defendant's house, who, after axilressing
surprtze at the demand of payment, for that of
which he had voluntarily made him a present, re-
fused to pay it, and persisted in that refusal. The
plaintilf;therefore, summoned him for the amount.

The defendant called Several witnessei, •Who
proved the offer of the plaintiff to make him a
present of any thing he wanted, if he would speak
plain. •
The Commissioners inquiredof the plaintiff, whe-
ther the defendant sung distinctly and without he-
ipation ? and he acknowledged that he did so. The
Court, upon this, declared their opinion, that the
plaintiff was not entitled to recover, and dismissed
the complaint with costs. .

A robbery to a very considerable amount, consist-'
ing of diamonds, pearls, rings, and jewellery of
every description, was disc.vered at the house of
Countess de VAUD asu It., -in Park •lane, a few days
since. The Countess had gone into the country, and
left. tier house in the care of a; female .domestic, in
whom she had the most implicit reliance, and 9n her
return her servant- had fled with the , property in
question. The thief has eluded justice for the pre"
sent,- but fortunately the whole of the property
which was sold and pledged, has been recovered by
three officers
.belon4ing to the MarlbOrough-street
Police Office.

of seeing the. Andalusian ladies, to the greatest ad-
vantage, in that porion of their ancient costume
which they never fail to assume whenever ,they go
abroad. This dress is con nosed of the mantilla or

black gauze, and sometimes of lace, and descends

back and arms, ix just crossed in trout, and t

black and generally of silk, under which appear two
pretty feet, dressed in white silk str ckings and

said by those who have lived a long time in the
country, that-formerly they were so negligent of
