one of whom is brother to the &erased, and the other
rosined Neiman, the ion of 4 cora-dealer at Us-
bridge, were nearly close together, and appeared
very oriels al armed. He immediately ran toward
the deceased ; he was met by the bender, who said
—..‘ Oh Gem! I have shot my bretlwr ; I never shall
sorrier him. I dare not go home; I will either cut
my throat or drown myself; I never shall be happy

conterits, of the gun had passed, through the right
thigh, entered the left, and cut the main artery asun-
der. The blood poured horn the wound as last a:

sand pounds, and had purchased many pictureilo
the defendant, who was a picture•dealer, in whin,
relying on his integrity, and veracity, he ad
placed the most entire contid,nce ; and whenevetihe
defendant produced a picture which he represeged
as coming (root foreign pars, and bring by a foriv
master, he had only tot ante las Own price andim-
mediately to-rec. ive it. But Mr. Gray J:ki not tor
chase pictures for his ()wit gratification ; he was is the
habit of exhibiting them is ccasionaily to his itieds,
who did not always display that extraordinary collo-
slains which might neurally be supposed to arse in
the minds of real judges of the Art, on seising dm
played before them t e first works of the first ton•
tens of the Flemish and Italian Schools, as Mr. Gray
had been told by the defendant his pictures, on ouch
lhe so liberally expended thousands, wt re. His
rfriends were unwilling to be so uncivil as to tell him
what they really thought of his rurchasea. At
however, on a fortunate day for hint, but an evil'ne
for tf e defendant, a gentleman welt to view Mr.
Gray's collection, who was not restrained by this
ntistaki n delicacy; and on hieing sheao one of the
newly a:quired tirasures of Mr. Gray, shared lota

the eyes of Mr. Gr.ty to the fraud, told him the plc.
tote in question had been his, and that he had sold
it for a pier, which, in shillings, would not equal
hi number the pounds which he (Mr. Gray) had
given for it. "This led to tut cher inquiry and further
discovery, when it appeared that a Holy F,mily,

and sold to the plaintiff for £172, he had, in feet,
bought for sILVi. Ss.; a candle-light piece for which
he gave £lO. POs Mr. Gray had paid £147; a land-

for forty guineas, wult the name of Vanbroorn upon
it ; and a landscape and figures, which cost Mr. Gray
405, defendant was so fortunate as to purchase
it for. 1150. • On discovering these circumstances,
the plaintiff had determined to recover back some of
the hundreds thus obtained from Min, and with that
view he bad brought the present action.
Alter the examination of two v Onesses for the
plaitaiff, it was agreed, on the sti;;geation of Lord
Eaoexnottouon, that a verdict should be taken for
