Defendant's i 4 precisely the case, and as respect-
able a man as any un the Stock Exchange.
• Air. G. P. Williams, the complainant, stated, that he became ac-
quainted with the Stock-bra ker, by an introduction from the clerk
of the latter. Witness went to him, in March hot, to have busi-
ness transacted for him in the Funds. He had a wish to make an
operation in the Funds, far the April Account, what w•as called a
timr•b;rgaia, and he therefore employed the defendant. On the Bth
March, he gave to defendant soi. on the same day, 501. more; on
the 10th, lOW. on the 11th, 2131. on the 12th, 171. and on the 13th,
551. Part of this amount had been given to the defendant's clerk,
and the whole had been given as deposits on the speculation in
the Funds.

The Defendant.—l admit the receipt of all the sums without he-
sitation. The transaction was a perfectly correct one, as I can prove.
The Complainant's Solicitor— Where was the last transaction of
the 455 entered into?

Complainant—He dined with me that day, and we went to the
Theatre together, but to which I do not know, and we made the
bargain in the Saloon. It was a bargain of " put and call."
The complainant's attorney here produ:ed what he said was the
account of the bargain transactidns. He declared that it was no
account at all.. There were none of those particulars which a man
mast expect in a pecuniary transaction—no names of the persons
supposed to have been concerned were mentioned, neither was there
any thing-like correctness in the items. In fact, the transaction ap-
pears to be a most sqspicious one, and it is obligatory upon the de-
fendant to produce his proofs that he has dealt uprightly.
The Loan MAYOR, after having looked over the account, said, that
the transaction was altogether illegal, but it was a tbing.of constant
practice, and those who made time bargains, were fully aware of the
illegality of what they were about.
- The complainant's Solicitor said, that be would not press this
matter, were it not that the transaction was quite out of the way of
doing business.
The LORD MAYOR did not see how this case could be called an
obtaining of money under false representations.
Complainant's Solicitor—There is not a single price in the ac-
count corresponding with the days prices in Wetenhall's list.
Defendant's Solicitor—The complainant had full opportunity of
ascertaining whether the most honourable conduct had not been
adopted towards him. The names of the persons concerned in the
bargains were given to him, and he trfright have easily learned from
them all the particulars of the transaction.
.The Loan llliseoa—l must say, that this account is a most un-
satisfactory one, and it is the duty of a broker, where a aunt of
money is concerned, to be most particular in his accounts, whether
the bargains be time bargains or not.
Mr. Hobler—ln illegal transactions of this kind, the names of
the parties are not given by brokers, except the correctness of the
dealing is questioned.
Coaiplain int's Solicitor—The complainant is a mere boy, and
he has, in this sort of business, lost upwards of X9OO. One of these
bargains was made in the saloon of a Theatre. Is it not a most
scandalous transaction ? Besides, this d-fendant is not entitled to
act on the Stock Exchange.
The LORD MA YOR-AIAS he no friends to prevent him from en-
gaging in things of this description? It is melancholy to see al
young man destroying his property in such a manner.
The complainant's Solicitor said, that a threat had been made to
arrest his client after the account was closed.

The complainant—Yes, after slur account was closed, the defend-
ant came to me, and said, that lie would put a bailiff into the
house, if I did not pay the difference. There was a person with
him, who, he said, was the person concerned.
The defendant's Solicitor stated, that his client's character stood
too high to lie, affected by what might be said at random.
The LORD MAYOR. told the complainant, that the defendant
would furnish him with a detailed account of the several dealings,
and that he (complainant) might regulate his conduct with respect
to the case accordingly.
