treble coots to the parties aggrieved, where it was taken,

EQUIVABLII TEA Aoancr Comeawr.—Yesterday, Mr. Guittedery.
the Managing Director of the Equitable Tea Agency Company,
appeared' before the Loan, MA Tog, to ansyeer a complaint made by
Mr. Torriano, the Solicitor, upon the part of Mr. Bell, of Hudders-

The Loan Ma ron.—You haie been sent for, Mr. Goundery. to
answer the charge of having obtained, by false pretences, two bills
of exchange for the amount of 921. 2s. ; and you also are charged
with having appropriated money put into your hands to other pur-
poses than those for which it was delivered to you. The Luau
Macon then desired Mr. Bell to state his complaint.
Mr. Bell said, that he had first becume acquainted with Mr.
Goundery in the course of last summer, when in the employment
of a respectable tea-dealer. Afterwards Mr. Goundery and he had
some correspondence upon the subject of purciaa,ing tea, and be-
coming a Shareholder in the Company, having been led to do so in
consequence of the inducements held out to him of advantage de-
rivable from the premiums on the shares. On the 19th of Dee.
Mr. Bell transmitted 921. 2s. to Mr. Goundery, in two bills of ex•
change, both of which had been duly honoured in London, and
ordered four chests of tea to be sent in return. Mr. Goundery not
having sent the tea, several priming letters were written to him by
Mr. Bell, but no aatisfactory reply could be obtained until the first
of January, when an account was received by the Inver. By. this
account Mr. 8.11 was surprised to find himself debited in the sum
of 401. as a deposit on 10 shares in the Equitable Tea Agency Com-
pany. Mr. Bell transmitted the whole correspondence to London,
in order to obtain legal advice on the subject, and the papers being
placed in Mr. Torriane's bands, that gentleman, on the 16th 'inst.
wrote to Mr. Goundery, and also to the only Director whose resi-
dence he could discover, stating that unless Mr. Bell's demand was
instantly satisfied,such proc.edings would be adopted as might be
deemed most advisable.

Mr. Torriano proceeded upon a charge of the misdemeanor.
Mr. Bell then deposed to the purcluse of ten shares from Mr.
Goundery, on the representation that a company was in existence,
of which be was managing director. Ile would not, of course,
have purchased. had be been aware that no suck company existed.
He paid .ElO for the shares, and had never seen any thing of the
shares since. •

Mr. Torriano then called John Greatorez Marshall.

Mr. Marshall said, he had been a traveller fur several tea homes
until lately.—( Mr. Marshall's- name had appeared in the list of
Directors.)—He denied that he was a Directorter that be had ever
consented to become one, or to allow the use of his name as such.
It had been printed entirely without his consent. He was not ac-
quainted with any one Director, nor did he believe there vivre any
Directors, or that there was any thing like a Company at all. He
admitted that he had called at the office *nee or twice, spd saw
persons there, but be did nut know them. All be ever did in the
office was directing a few letters, containing tea lists, for Mr. Gown-
(bay, at his request. He never received any money for what he had
done, and never beard what quantities of tea bad been sold.
In answer to questions front Mr. Goundery, the witness said be
never attended any meeting, and never, to his knowledge, met any
body at the Counting-house.

The printer of the Shares stated, that no more than 1000 had
been printed.
The shares produced by Mr. Bell were numbered from 9,000
upwards.
Mr. Goundery said that there was a Company, that shares had
been issued and sold, and deposits paid upon them, and that in
consequence of Mr. Bell having written for some a number were
allotted to him.

Mr. Heil said he hail written in consequence of the circular,
which stated that a Company had been formed.
The !Ass Maven said that had not altered the case, and ordered
Mr. 6oundery to bud bail Cot the misdemeanour of having obtained
money upon the false pretence of the existence of a Company
which never had an existence.
