Bow-Svaairr.—Mr. Cowen., the dssg 7
at this °See, assisted by Lord Moe xretrati,-
pied nearly two hones yesterday in the loveatigt _ _ _
the following case:—
Mr. Mason, proprietor of the Hell and Horn public-
house, at Rrompton, appearea upon summons to answer '
the complaint of a Mr. Davy. Mr. Davy is a tall Mtn
elderly personage, and apparently one of the most irri- •
table of the geatte irritable ; for though be had engaged*
Mr. Harmer to conduct his important complaint, yet he
would scarcely suffer the Learned Gentleman to say a
single ward.
It appeared that Mr. Davy occupies apartments onio-
site the Bell and Horn, at Hrompton; and one day
lately, was in full expectation of a brace of pheasants
from • friend in Devonshire. The day had needy ex-
pired, however, without their having made their ap-
pearance, and Mr. Davy, and Mrs. Davy too, began to
think they would not come that evening, when,)ust at
the moment they had made up their minds to wait with
Wiener till the morrow, a double rap came to the doer,
and the waiter of the Hell and Horn presented a neatly
packed game-besket, whirls, he said, had been left at
their house by one of the coaches; and he demanded'
only eight-peace for the carriage. Mrs. Davy tkowykt
this was uncommonly cheap, and instantly paying it,
she hastened with infinite glee to unpack the basket,
when, lo! and behold I instead of the pheasants, she
lionnd among the straw nothing bat a dead rat, staffed
evith• pebbles, and laid upon a few mouldy mutton
belles.—lint who can paint Mr. Davy, as he stood,
pierced with severe amazement ?—Nobiidy And %ere
We shall not attempt it, hut content ourselves with stat-
ing, that as soon as he came to his senses, be sent bark
the basket and its filthy contents, to the Bell sad Horn,
and deisamied his eight-peace. again. The' landlowl of
the Bell and Horn, -however, not only refused to, take
I. the cat and her aceotopasimente. but he declined
paying back the eight-pence, and moreover, he called
Air. Davy a fool ! though Mr. Davy assured him that he
was no,such thing; and so at last Mr. Davy detennieed
to bring him before a Magistrate fur obtaining stet,
pence under false pretences; that is to say. hg,.akoat
instead of pheasants.
The landlord. Mr. Mason, in his defense, denied all
knowledge of the said eat: the basket, he said, 'tidbits"
left at his house by one of the Fulham stages; tithing
which the said stages frequently did ; and he soot it
over to Mr. Davy, agreeable to its directly', in less the!"
ten minutes after, demanding only the money be Lai,
himself paid upon it. In support of this statement he
