MAYOR V. PINK.

This was an action instituted in the name of the
Assignee of a bankrupt, William Henry Pine fur the
recovery of the price of cettain parts of an architectural
work, from John Pine, the bankrupt's brother.
Mr. Serjeant SPANKIC conducted the plaintiff's case.
The facts appeared to be theses—Mr. William Henry
Pine, proposed. in the year 1816, to publish in pet itoltc.l
numbers, an Historico-pictorial work to be entitled
go A History of Royal Residences." The time of each
publication was fixed at every second month. The
price of each number one guinea, and the total number
of parts was to be twenty-four ; the publication com-
menced, and proceeded to the eighteenth number ;
several of them were decorated with views of royal
residences, as of Windsor Palace and Kensington.
Mr. John Pine, the defendant, took seven or eight of
the. numbers. Mr. W. Pine, the principal proprietor of
the work, was made a bankrupt in 1818. His assignees
sought by the present action to recover the amount of
the value of the numbers delivered.
The facts of the plaintirs case having been proved. the Loup
Curer Junin directed the Jury to find a verdict for the plantiff,
fur the price of the eight numbers.

me he would take a house for trie in Somers' Town, and
Send me in goo.h.
A number of other bills and letters were produced, connecting
the prisoners together in various transactions. Some of the bills
were drawn upon and accepted by the witness while lie was porter
to Hughes, and addressed to him as a haberdasher in Union-street,
Somers Town.
Mr. Bethel, SoliCitor to the commission of bankruptcy against
Ilughes, produced the commission and an extract from the bank-
rupt's examination, in which he stated, that he had once been a
bankrupt before, and twice taken the benefit of the Insolvent
Act. The bankrupt's debts were 10311. les. 10d. his credits
Oa es. ed.
Mr. Henry Gregory, of the firm of Welch, Gregory
and Cubitt, stated, that Hughes came into their ware-
house in November, and introduced himself as Henry
Hughes, a Surveyor and Auctioneer, and that his wife
was opening a shop is the millinery line, in Speldhurst-
street, and gave witness a reference to Geo. Wrn. Case,
.22, Oxford-street; to Mr. Stocks, Canmer-street, St
George's in the East. He said he would want Leghorn
bonnets, flowers, and feathers. He came again in two
days, and witness told him, She reference was not satis-
factory, and be could not open an account with him.
Hughes then said a friend of the name of Hay, a
builder, and a man of property, he had no doubt,
would. become his security for 501. or 601. and the next
day he came with the prisoners Hay and Charlotte
Watts, whom he introduced as Mrs, Hughes; Hay
then signed the guarantee produced by witness for .501.
Witness then gave Hughes credit for goods to the
amount of 521. Three or four days after Hughes wrote
for more goods, which were sent him; the whole
amount at present is 651.75. Bd. In December, Hughes
sent a small order, and inclosed a bill, accepted at
three months, on John Collier, builder, Paddington,
for 281. The bill has not been paid hor could the ac-
ceptor be found.
Mr. John Palk Griffin, of Skinner-street, stated, that
Hughes applied to him and said, his wife w is about
commencing the millinery business, and would want
goofs in witness's line; that lie had a friend of great
respectability a builder, who had several houses, and
would guarantee him for £lOO. Witness said, he should
like to see the guarantee. The next day he came with
the prisoners Hay and Charlotte Watts. Hay signed
the guaran'eeproduced by witness for £lOO, and Hughes
took goods to the amount of £95. When the cred t
expired witness drew on Hay fur the amount, the bill
was accepted, but never paid.
Mr. Richard Wood Lucas, partner in the house of
Gilman and Co. lace-dealers, Newgate-street, stated,
that in Novemher,Hughes came to their shop, and stated
that he wanted goods in their line, and would give them
the guarantee of a friend, a builder named Hay, at Pad.
dington. Witness said, he would require part payment
in the first instance, as well as a guarantee. Hughes
said he was a surveyor, and had occasion to draw on
'builders and brie kmakers, and would give him such bills.
He then gave witness 101. in cash,and next day came with
Hay, who gave a guarantee, acd sent him a bill on a per-
son soon after, named Goodin, for 141. whichlias never
been paid. Hughes cbtained goods to the amount of,
1801. and paid .501. The balance is still due.—The wit-
ness was cross-examined by Hughes, and said he was
one of the petitioning creditors in Hughes's bankruptcy,
and that Hughes had brought en action against him for
maliciously suing out the commission, before which
action the present prosectui..m was not, thought of.,
Hughes paid some money after he received the last
goods. The verdict in the action was for witness and
Iris partners.
James Callow, clerk to the last witness, corroborated his evi-
dence; and proved the non-payment of bills given by Hughes. They
acceptors were not known at the pl.,ces where their bills were made
payable. When the first bill was orturned witness called at Hughes's
house in Speldhurst-street, and saw Mrs. Hughes (the prisoner
Watts), who told him 111 r. Hughes was in the country on auctioneer-,
ing business. Witness seeing the shop nearly empty, asked her
whether he ';ad taken his own goods with him ?
Richard Friend, another clerk in the house of Gilman and. Co.
stated, that he canal tur payment of two bills accepted by Collier,
and found the house shut up.
Timothy Rowe knew that Hughes hai been supplied
with goodi by the house of Helps, Ray, and Co. Cheap(
side, to the amount of 1001. He gave a bill in pay-1
menr, which witness took for pay Merit when doe. The
acceptor was not to be found—there was no such person
known. There was a guarantee given by Hsy for 1001.
Samuel Greathead, clerk to, Mr. Fawcett, stated, that,
he applied several times at Hughes's house, in Stiehlhurst-street, in January, fur payment of about 1141. due
for flannel, and always saw the prisoner Watts (who he
supposed was Mrs. Hughes); she constantly to:d him Mr.
Hughes was in the country. No pant cot. the money ha.
been paid.
Edward Prior4clerk to Mr. FerrAr, warehouseman,
stated, that Hughes came to deal with Mr. Ferrer,
'quid told w v.ess he had five or six huildred pounds. He
4terwards gave a guarantee, signed by Hay, and a bra
;en Collier. The debt incurred w as about 1501. only 101.

bill for the night and take 131. the babnce of tiffs tit

day. Witness consented, and -scion after met with-a
person named Mller, with whom he went to Pu/I;4k's
auction, where I.e SAW Lis own flannels put up to itic
tion, and purchased them for 'l3l less than be sold
them. Before he went to Bullock's he went to Hughes
to get cash for the bill, and offered to take 101. in full
for the 291. Mrs. Hughes said he had been exposing them,
and if he did not quit the house she would send for an
officer. Witness saw ltrehes as he was coming from
Bullock's suction, and told him he had bought his own
flannel much less than lie sold it for ; Hughes said,
Bullock must bear the loss; witness offered him the
flannel for what he had purchased it at if he would pay
his bill, hot Hughes flew away ; witness since sold the
b;11 for 51.
Mr. Millar stated that lit lodged in Hughes's house,

At eleven o'clock the case for __ pit
Mr. Aootritus suggested to the Court, that the evidence dig not
support the charge against Brewer or Mrs. Ilay, and he had no
objection to their immediate acquittal.
The Recommit concurred in this suggestion, and charged the
Jury to that effect, who immediately returned a verdict of ac-
quittal of tbese two defendants.
Counsel then addressed the Jury for the other defendants, and a
number of witnesses were called to character • and also to prow*
that the withers, Moody, was not worthy of credit on his oath.
At a quarter past two o'clock, Mr. ADOLPHUS. ad-
dressed the Court and Jury in reply, and at three o'clock
the RECORDER summed up the evidence to the Jury.
He stated the precise nature of the indictment, and the
law as related to the conspiracy, and dwelt on the fact
of Hughes having signed the bills as Henry Hughes,
when he was as well or better known by the nanie of
Thomas Hughes, and on the fact that bath Hughes and
Hay, at the time of the sundry purchases, had long
been persons not only incapable of fulfilling their con-
tracts, but in very indigent circumstances, inasmuch as
one of them was without any property whatever, and
the other was obliged to apply or at least did apply
to the parish for the burial. of his deceased child. Not.
withstanding which the one contracted debts to a very-
considerable amount, and the other guaranteed the pup
ment of the various sums alluded to in the evidence.
The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of Gritty against
the prisoners Ilughes, Hay, Collier, and Charlotte Watts, but
strongly recommended the latter prisoner to the merciful considera-
tion of the Court.

The prisoner Watts fainted on hearing the verdict pronounced.
The Racoons& severally addressed the prisoners on the enormity
of their offence, and sentenced Hughes to two years' imprisonment
and bard labour in the House of Correction; Hay to the same
punishment. Collier to a similar punishment for 18 months, and
Charlotte Watts to the same punishment for two months.
A witness, Rowley, was ordered to be committed to Newgate
for contempt of Court. ; . •
At four o'clock ice Court adjourned, the trial baying occupied
nineteen hours.
The New Court was taken up all the morning with the trial of
a person named Leslie, who stood indicted for perjury. The case
possessed no particular feature of interest, and the Jury after being
absent half an hour, returned a verdict of Guilty.
