TOE ATTORNEY TJENFRAL V. COLONEL. MLR.
This was a pr )reeding to mover re 12,912, .lue
the Government. The Souctroa GevEnist. stated
that Colonel Ogle entered into an engagement to
raise rc. mit,: for the 11 mx j he was to xective an al.
lowance for ev Ty man delivered at Chatham Bar-
racks. In the course of this service he received con
side-:able stuns from Government. It appeared by
the C.olonel's accounts delivered in IBM, that great
overchirges had been made, and as exArnination was
necessa,y, Colonel Ole gave a bond, the audition
t)f which was, that three months after the balance of
the accounts was declared he would pay the same.
and in case he did so pay, all charges law shOnld
be struck ntf. The balance was declared by Lord
Palmerstone to be 2.33(i. and as the defendant did
"1 pay at the end of three enontlni, the legal charges
were added, and this process commenced. There was
no valid defence, and the Jury found a verdict for
£12,912.

ditties which the defendant haJ kept back from the

had Fan-office, and Finchenfield. He was charged
with what is termed making run num ; and the Jiity,
undar all the circumstances, found a verdict for the
Crown—Damages £7456.

ced on Monday last, and was adjourned evt.ry even-
ing at five o'clock until this day. The Jury was

ill, that it. informed the Chid Baron, on Friday, that

SAGAOrtY 9Y TDB I'OOIOLE DIG.— A shoe-black,:
a-ho used to take hit station tefore the entrance of
the Hotel de Niverntsity at Paris, possessed a large
.black poodle.' who-had the extraordinary talent of
procuring custom for his master. This animal would
clip his fl..ri:;e woolly paw int 4 the kennel, and ,pcit, it
upon every hot that came near him. The shoe-black;
t
of course, was ever Deady to offer his stool, with an
invitation en the person beilasibed,to take a teat upon
K, and have the fill& wiped off their shoe ; as long as
the dog saw his Matter pniployed, he would lay quietly.,
by his tide, seenaintto know that he could not clean
two pair of shoes at a time, but as soon as he saw his,
master unoccupied. he went no with his business..
The sagacity of this extraordinary animal became the;
comersation of the savants' In the -hotel, and Irnm
the kitchen, his fame soon mounted into the drawing-
A wealthy Enaisliman, who happened to be
en a visit at the hotel, was so delighted with the won-
derful abilities of the poralle, that he offered the sr lOti
• l'ltt k ten guineas for him, but the master loved his'
clog, and would not •take the money offered. The
doubled.the sum; this Was too great a
temptation —he dicipt a tear over his dog, took the
mosivy, aid gay.f op his .fifithlul Companion.. The
a'aig, was inunediately taken to London by his new
master. • Post:teen• days atter, when the poor shoe-'
