•
Yesterday a botcher, named Aresenssos, who was on flatorday
charged, before Alderman VIIIIMILZIO, wish, hiving possessed him-
self improperly of a horse and itol. note, by giving in exchange for
them an unsound horse. was brought up.for a second elm:sista:too.
The accuser was a Gentleman named Le Phone, and from his
statement, and the statement of other persons, it appeared that the
bargain was not to conclude until a trial had been taken for one
week. Before the end of the week it was found that the defend
ant's horse was greatly diseased, but neither the horse of the eons•
•
plainant nor his money was fonbcoming. ,
Mr. Hobler..jun. urged the committal of the defendant, and, in-
stanced the ease of Major Semple, who was convicted for having
sold a horse which be bad hired, even though the time within.
which he was to return it had not expired ; from which be argued
that the defendant, having converted to his own use and refused to,
return the horse given him in exchange by Mr. Le Piastre. before
the expiration of the week allowed Mr. Le Plaster fur trial of the
defendant's horse, and within which he was at liberty to annul or
confirm the bargain, was a fraudident. conversion.
Sir Jose Peerage paid, it appeared to him that the matter of
complaint wise bread' of contract, for which the party must seek
his remedy by civil action..-. The defendant was then discharged.
Doctor Cowie M.dnse, Surgeon-General in the Colombian service,
appeared to answer the complaint of Mrs. Illsont, the widow of
Colonel Blom, of the same service.--Mr. Wooller appeared to
support the charge, and Mr. Nobler, jun. acted for the defence.
Mrs. Klima stated, that her husband bad gout, out to join the
Colombians in their struggle for freedom in let% and that lw died
to the command of a regiment in the scribe of Colombia. The
Government, in acknowledgment of the Colonel's distinguished
services, tnadeher a gift, at his decease, of hoods to the amount of
5,0001. In the betinning of last year, Doctor. Mayne returned to
this country from Columbia, and called of her. and introduced him.
self as a friend of hs r husband, for whose memory be professed to
entertain the very highest respect. la the course of one of his
visits, he made inquiry respecting the bonds she had received from
the Colombian .Government. She told him that she had been un-
der the necessity of disposing of a part of the property for the sup.
port of her tamely, and that she intended to dispOse of the remain-
der, amounting to 3,5001. Dr. Blayoe .urged her not * sell the
bonds, as they would certainly rise in value, and ,offered her any
pecuniary assistance she might st..ni in nerd of, and also to take the
bonds into safe kettpipg. She &wormed him that the bond. were
in the posseasion of Mr. Palmer, of Gray's Inn, to whom she was
indebted in the sum of 106/. without discharging which she mid
not think of asking for them. Dr. Blayoe gave her the motley to
pay Mr. Palmer, who returned the, hoods, which thus got.into the
hands of the Doctor. The Dicier had since occasionally advanced
to her small sums of money. Susie time ago she applied to Dr.
Mayne for the bonds, and was informed by him that they were in
the possession of Mr. Watts, of Cushion-coo*. She applied to Mr.
Watts, who iuformrd her that he had no more thau 1,3001. of the
bonds, on which he had advauct:d 2201. Dr. Mayne had since
acknowledged.tha; the 1,0001, was mortgaged to Mr. Bennie.
Mrs. Eissim's son was examined in corroboration of part of his
mother's evidence. lie stated that be had banded the hoods to
Dr. Mayne's brother for him, and the Doctor had afterwards ad-
nutted that he hid received them..
Dir. Wooller, on this evidence, urged that Dr. Mayne had no
right to mortgage or dispose ,of the bonds without Mrs. lilsom's
consent, and that his doing so was a conversion for which he ought
to be made responsible.
Mr. Hobler, jun. on the part of the defendant, stated that be
had advanced and become responsible for sums amounting to up-
wards of 3001. for Mrs. Elsom, on the security of the bonds, and
if those sums were repaid him, the bonds should be immediately
restored.

_
Sir J. Ptaatuo appeared unwilling to decide without affording
the parties an opportutsit7 of coming to an amicable arrangement,
and adjourned the case fur a week.
