SURREY SPECIAL. SESSIONS, AUGUST S.
I TOCksa, a bankrupt, was opposed by Mr. BARltew
under the Seth clause for_obtaining money under false
pretences. The Learned. Counsel stated, that for
some time previous to his bankruptcy, the prisonerliad
been carrying on a system of accommodation 'Notes
to a very great extent ; and that there were at present
notes unpaid to the amount of upwards of 4"2:3,0e1
Many of these notes had been drawn and accepted by
young men and boys under 21 years of age, therefore
at the time of negociating 'them, the prisoner must
have been aware he was committing.an act of fraud,
as the bills so accepted were in fact worth nothing ;
these facts he was instructed to say, he should be able
to prov.,: by letters in the prisoner's hand-writing.
Several biters addressed to Messrs. Winters .Gril-
let and Co. and others, were then produced, and.Mr:
Grillet was called to prove the hand-writing of the
prisoner.

_
Mr. NOLAN on the part of the prisoner' contended
tTiat these letters could not be received in evidence,
as they related to transactions in which the opposing
Creditor hid no share whatever, and that such had
been the decision of Mr. Seijcant Onslow an the first.
day of the Ses,ions. . .
The Learned CHAIRMAN (Mr. Kendrick) however,
was of opinion the (1,2 t lining creditor might go into
any evidence to establish the fraud,. whethei connec-
ted with his debt or not.

• . The letters were then fend. They related to a sys.
tem of hill transactions between the prisoner and se-
veral pertons in London and elsewhere ; and from
the letters it appeared clearly that they were accom-
modation bills: In one of the letters addressed to Mr.
Jones, Manchester, the prisoner desires hini to send
some stamps, Numbers 2,3,. 4, and 5, some signed
by himself, others he was to .accept, and leave the
istims of all blank ; he complains of the difficulty of
001 g money for them, and from thence infers the
necessity of establishing a bank of their own. In an-
'ether letter, addressed to Messrs. Winter and Co. lie
says, u I have inclosed you two bills, drawn by Ayers,
on Tucker and Co.—one for i6'200 at seventy days,
and the other for the same sum, at seventy-five days."
This Ayers, the Learned Counsel said, he could prove
was no other persou,than the prisoner's footman.—
The written instructions from the prisoner to his'clerk
were then read, in which he directs him to fill up the
blank signatures with various sums, and then let Ed,
ward write off the acceptances, he (the Clerk) first
doing it with a pencil. This Edward, •the Learned
Counsel said, was a child, who could not write his
name without its being first pencilled for him-
The CHAIRMAN eves of opinion, that this mode of.
filling up and negotiating bils was clearly obtaining.
'money under false pretences.
Mr. NOLAN said, if such were the opinion of the
Bench, he must submit, and consent to the prisoner's
being remanded, subject to the opinion of the Court
of King's Bench as to the admissibility of the letters
which had been read as evidence against him.
He was then remanded, subj.'ct to the opinion of
the Court of King's Bench, to be taken next term.
Objections were made to the discharge of.Mr.Whit-
nell and Mr. Waddington, on charges of being out
of custody on recent occasions, the nee having been
seen at Vauxlei!l, and the other at Croydon. No
eviderce was adduced however to substantiate the
char-e, and on the prisoners deposing on oath the con-
trary, they were ordered to be enlarged.
The enlargement of Joshua' Taylor was opposed
under the :34th and 35th clauses of the Act :—First,
for obtaining money under false pretences ; and se-
condly, for receiving money on account of his em-
ployer, and converting it to his own purposes.—The
prisoner was a Serjeant in the division of Marines
quartered at Woolwich, and was employed by Capt.
Barlow, The Deputy Pay-master of that corps, to re.
Iceive money from the house of Rutton and Co. for the
i purpose of paying the men ; and in the absence of
Mr. Barlow, from intructions given to the banker, he
was empowered to draw what money he thought pro-'
. per for paying the marines. This authority, however,
he abused, and drew £307 more than was necessary
for the intended purpose, which he appropriated to his
• own use. And on the circumstances being discovered,
he'passed his note of hand to Messrs. Rutton and Co.
‘ -
. foethat sum, which note he did not take up, and was
icopseqnently arrested.—The Court overruled the ob-
jection, on the ground of the prisoner having been
employed, not as the servant of Captain. Barlow, but
!in Many instances during the absence of Mr. Barlow
acted as actual Paymaster, being in the constant ha-
: tiiti of paying the Men. He was therefore discharged.
!4":' axon Joseph Paratiani, a foreie,n Nobleman, was
!ifb ci ied by Charles Thoroughgood, a Sheriff's Officer,
vdio had lent him upwards 'of 4EIOO whilst he had him
in custody, from a belief that lie was entitled to con-
siderable sums of money. It did not appear, however,
that the prisoner had stated any falsehood to the Of-
ficer, and he was discharged. .
1 Mr. BOWES, notwithstanding the length of his con-
finement, has, as. yet declined availing himself of the
: berlific of this Act.

SUSSEX ASSIZES.-I,I.WFq, AUGUST 7.

WOODHAMS V. KING.

This was an action of trespass for sporting on the
plaintiff's land, after notice, and has arisen out of a
contest which has embroiled part of this county for
, a considerable time. The real plaintiff was Mr.
littrisch, who resides at Corsica-hall, and the &fen-
: dims farmers of respectability.
I :difir.iSerjeant SilEPHERD, for the plaintiff, described
. the-trespass as one the most aggravated, stating that
thefilefendants, in company with several others, rode
over the plaintiff's grounds, not merely with a view
of spotting, but with a design totally to extirpate the
gaTe.4 For this purpose they not only had grey-
hounds and lurchets, but also were accompanied by
no Jess than 12 or 14 beagles. How they could have
conducted themselves in a manner more destructive.
to the game, he was at a loss to know, unless they*
had hired half a dozen fellows with guns to shoot all
they would otherwise miss. The plaintiff, WOodham,
he said, was tenant to Mr. Harben, and that Gen-
. tleman being out on the 2fith of February last, saw
the whole of the cavalcade on his grounds. He re-
monstrated with them upon it, but was treated with
, most. gross and vulgar abuse, instead of redress. He
should shew that Mr. Harben merely desired to know
.`"tlieii-names, when he was called ‘‘ scoundrel, vil-
e lain," and the most opprobrious names that scurrili.

At the late York Assizes, a youth of the name of
Hainsworth, who had been deprived of his left hand
through the carelessness of the driver of a cart in
Leeds, obtained a verdict for 5001. damages against
Mr. Morkill, jun. of Halton, the owner of the cart,
for the injury he had sustained.

Tuesday se'nnight barley harvest was begun at
Hai dgate-burn, in the neighbourhor,d of Aberdeen.

:.
tt &hitt hiTett. He .trusted,hoWeter, the tary, by
their verdict, would put at end to this serf r 4 ii. tem.
perate conduct of the defendant and his Mends.
Henry Reeds, a servant to Harben, said, he served
notice on the defendant not io sport on the land.. of
the plaintiff, on the 19th of Febi nary last ; he wat
not surethat it wet addressed to the defendant by the
plaintiff. The rest of the notice, except the aduress,,
was in Mr. Harben's hair(' writing.
It was proved that a party was out sporting on the
'2Bth of February last, and that the defendaet was
on a piece of rape-wed belonging to the plaintiff,
whither he went after his brother, who was quarrell-
ing with Mr. Harben.
IVIr. MARRYATT, for the defendant, told the Jury,
that se tar from the defendant having committed an
aggravated -trespass, that this was one •:f the most .
unfounded actions ever brought into a Court of Jus-
tice.
..The real plaintiff was Mr. Harben, who, it
was true, had received some hard names from the
defendant ; but as the Jury probably knew him, they
could best tell whether he deserved them or not.—
The defendant, who was a very large farmer, had,
in company with his neighbours and friends, pile out
sporting on the '2Bth of February last ; they held
amongst them between 2 and 8000 acres of land, and
had no intention whatever of trespassing on any land
belonging to Mr. Harben ; in fact, they had never
gone into any of his land, when he . thought proper
to come no to them, and .attaCit them in a very on.
warrantable manner. This induced an altercation
with Mr. T,. King, notthe defendant, but his bri.ther,
and by degrees as they went on, they went tiff the.
bounds of the defendant's land into the land efls.he
plaintiff. When they got dicier the defendank,lL -
King, got off his horse and went into die field to
prevent any contention between his brother and. liar-
ben. The moment he got into the field, Harben ez,
claimed, 44 Ah, ha, old Dickey, I've got you at
last ; you have now committed a trespass, and yeti -•
shall p'iy for it."—He should alSo call witnessei, who
would prove that the defendant was the nephew of
the nominal plaintiff ; that they lived in the best pos- .
sible terms of friendship ; and that when Woodhams
was remonstrated with upon his conduct in warning
his nepheW-off his land, he declared he was totally
ignorant of its being dime. He said, at the restest
of Harben, he had signed some blank notieee; but,
so far from intending to warn the defendant off the
ground, he was perfectly welcome to sport and shoot
there as much as he liked.
Two witnesses, of the name of Hichins and Hard-
wicke, proved, that they were sporting on their own •
and the defendant's grounds, and that they had no
intention of tresp'assing on any person's; that they
were followed and annoyed by Harben, in conse.
quence of which an altercation took place,' in which .
angry language passed on both sides ; that Harben
fode past `them repeatedly, and looked in their faces;
one of them told him he would see no face worse
than his own, &c. At last Thomas King and Um-
ben went into a clover field belongingeo.the plaintifF,
and Richard King, the defendant, followed; upon
which Harben said, " What, Dickey, 1 have caught
yod in a trespass at last." The defendant's brother
also proved that the plaintiff declared that he never
meant to warn them off his land, and the notice had
been given by Harben without his knowledge. - - •
The Lotto Clime Barton held, that a' -notice..so •
glven was no notice at all, and observed, if they be-
bested the Defiindant's witnesses, although a trespass ; •
had been committed, yet the smallest damages would
satisfy the justice of the case. If .
Verdict for dr.: Plaintiff—Damages, Sixpence.
