Madame Tessler, a French Lady, residiag at Mr. Verdict's, the
upholsterer's in ang-acre, accompanied by her landlord, applied
to Minsuuct., the sitting Magistrate, for his advice under the
following circumstances :—Madame Tessler, it appeared, bad on
Friday gone into a shop in Cranbourn-alley, and there purthased a
silk shawl, for Which she paid, as she supposed, a 51. note, receiving
a soveteign in change. On her return home, however, she dis-
covered that she had given a 101. note by mistake, and going back,
stated the fact to the shopman. He, after some li:tle demur,
Inquired if she could identify the note, which she described, adding,
that her name and address were written on the back of it, and oa
examining the till, a ten pound note so tuarked was found. Under
all the circumstances, however, she was induced to purchase a
second shawl also, for four pounds, and again received with it a
sovereign and a black silk handkerchief, which was thrown into
the bargain, we presume for luck." Mr. Verdier, her landlord,
however, en being shewn her bargain, entertained strong doubts as
to the value of the articles she bad bought so cheap, and on sub-
mitting them to the inspection of another of the trade, his suspil
dent were more than confirmed, the four pound shawls being
positively pronounced not worth thirty shillings a piece.
His Worship at first seemed to have some doubt whether he
could with propriety interfere, although he reprobated the dis-
honesty of the transaction. Eventually, however, a summons was
granted against the party.
!Ilse answer to this charge was, that the articles were fully worth
the money.
Mr. Mnrsnutr.-1, Then I cannot feel any compunction in direct-
ing that you return this Lady tier 4/. receiving in exchange the
property which you state to be so well worth that money.
