Mr. HART, in this ease, applied for an injunction to
restrain the defendant from making, using, selling, or
toisposing of a certain composition called a Cement.
used in decorating the outsides as well as interior of
bil.iings, statues, models, &r. The original invert-
belonged to a Mr. Peter Ham'slin, of the City-
road, who in 1917 Obtained a patent fir it. The
plaintiffs became entitled to a share of it at the time,
and su:rsequently bought the whole interest in it. Some
time after they discovered that the defendant, who re-
si 4eJ at Limehouse, was residint a composition similar
t : theirs, and on inquiry it was found out to have been
putted from them. This induced inquiry, but until
t1:1 14th of April last they were unphle to discover
*WV:lent to ground an application on. This having
been effected, they now came before his Lordship to
prevent the further dilapidation of their property.—
Affidavits were filed in support of the above statement,
and his Lordship accordingly granted the injunction.
At his Lordship's rising the Court was adjourned
until the 29th instant.

guilty of the same outrageous conduct ; and having
threatened to murder both the plaintiff and hin wife,
they were compelled to take refuge in a publir-house

oIIDDI,FSEX SESSIONS.

CoNIPt R 10' To rogruarti.-1,.. wo young men named
Coop, and Jia,/, of respectable appearance and ata- i 1
lion in life, were tried upon an indictment, charging :
them with Ilavititt• nii licitly conspired, by false pre- ,
tellers, to t..staito from Mr. Thomas Harrison, deeds I
and bill. of Exchange to the value of 6001. The for- 1
int r prisoner is an attorney, the latter is a scho.olmaster. I
The following it a brief outline of the facts stated in ,
et idence :—.-
Mr. Harrison, a respectable conveyancer, residing !
in the neighbourhood of Lincoln's Inn, having from uu- i
foreseen circumstances loecome embarrassed, applied to
a Mr. Jones. a Solicitor, to raise money npon an estate I
which he possessed in Crockfield, in floe county of Sussex.
This estate hail upon it certain incumbrances, but the
sum proposed to be raised upon the title deeds was sap-
poised of little comparative value. Mr. Harrison, bow-;
ever, iwing in immediate want of SM. offered the deeds
and bills of exchange as additional security, for the pay-
ment of the stint with interest, within a specified time. i
Mr. Jones declined acting neon the occasion, there being'.
considerable difficulty in raising mone upon the most
unexceptionable security at the time. owever, the ap- ,
plication of Mr. Harrison having the course of
business become known to Cooper, who was clerk to Mr. 1
Jones, that prisoner said be believed be could procure .
the cash. ,tfter this interposition of the clerk, Mr. ?
Jones had nothingleore to du with flee matter. Cooper,
in his conversation with Mr. Harrison, said he knew a
person who could advance the money. Two or three !
days after, however, he said his first application was in-
effectual, but that he bad a friend in liristol, upon whose
readiness to accept the securities he could place reliance.
He then went to Cuckfiehl to view the estate, and having i
expressed his satisfaction at the general appearance oft
things, preliminaries were arranged, and the 311th of
Septeusher, 1519, was appointed for a meeting at
Cooper's chambers, where the instruments were to he I
signed, and the whole business settled. On that day Mr.,
Harrison was, as might besupposell,punctnal. He hid not I
been long at the chambers, when May, whotn be then saw
1 for the first time, entered. Mr. Harrison had received so
, intimation that this was the person who was to advance 1
the gooney required, although he eapected to meet a man ,
of that description. .1s soon as the deeds were ready to
he executed, Cooper called May to witness them, lathe'
whole form having been gone through, the parties sepa-
rated, Mr. Harrison being in full expectation of receiv-
ing the motley immediately after. He found, however, I
that delays were caused, and, after several applications,
was at length told by Cooper, that the person who had
promised to advance the money refused to do so, in con-
sequence of a debt of 2991. due from Cooper to his.
Mr. Harrison soon ascertained, to his astonishment, that
May was the person who detained the securities, and
having had such reason to suspect a conspiracy to de-
fraud him,applied at now-street, and from thence to a
(Irand Jury. Mr. Harrison :sad entered into an. agree.-
meta with. Cooper. that if money could not be raised •
upon• the bills, goods should he got upon them, and
turned into money
,to answer the existing enter .
Proceedings at common law were resorted to, but
deeds and bills were still detained, and Mr. Harrison
was responeiblegor the amount for which they professed
to be securities, while tbe two prisoners could torn them
to their own aceesat, and dative considerable profit
from this very extraordinary bind of negotiation.
May declaced that he, upon going into Cooper's
chambers, was net aware of the business between 1.-'
aid Harrison, mid that be called is by the iv,—

These were two actions, the one by huAhand and

Several witnesses were examined on the part of
the plaintiffs, and• as both actions arose out of the
same transaction, it was agreed that they should be
brought on together. The case was in substance this :
The plaintiff and his wife were hawkers, in the habit
of attending fairy: about the country. The defendants,

in the Royal.; Navy, were the sons of a respectable
C:erommitlaesi Magistrate, residing at St. Alban:s.

they bad a booth for ;he sale of toys and the usual

William Hughes, servant of the late French Ambassa-
dor, of Portland-place, of his watch. Hughes, it ap-
peared, went into the Marquis of lira:thy public-house,
Charles-street, Covent-garden, to treat a hackney-coach-
man who bad arisen hint from the city. lie continued
there for a short time, and on c ttttt ing out of the dour
a person struck him violently, and snatched his watch,
and immediately after Hughes was surrounded by
eight or nine persons, who laid hold of him, and de-
tained Mau from pursuing the man who took his watch.
Hughes at length suiceeded in disengaging himself
from them, and pursued the man who had snatched his
watch, who, finding that Hughes was gaining ground
upon him, threw the watch into a hackney coach,
which was standing in the street. Hughes still pur-
sued the wan, and cave rip with him ; a %cage en-
sued, during which two other men came up and atruck
Hughes violently on the arm, which obliged hint to
let go his hold of the wan, who immediately made off.
Hughes went afterwards with Bethell, a beadle, back
to the Marquis of tiranley? and there pointed cut to
lkthell the wan, John Taylor, as being the person
who had robbed hint of his watch.
The prisoner, Stevens, was apprehended about a
week ago, on suspicion of being concerned in the
robbery.
Geo. Watson, waiter at the Marquis of liranby, stated
that he saw Taylor, the man who is committed, leaning
his head on the table in the tap-races before Sir. Hughes
went out. He went out after Mr. Hughes to get the
"Duey for.the reckoning, and returned in about two
Minutes, and then Taylor was in the same situation as
when he went out.
Frederick Cole, of Nu. 13, Vottglity-mews, Bedford-
square, hackney-coachman, stated that he saw the pri-
soner, Stevens, sculling with Hughes on the night of
the robbery, near a coach that was standing in the
street ; ho also stated, that hr saw Taylor in the tap-
room previous to his seeing the scuffle ; and on his re-
turning to the house after the senate was over, Taylor
still remained in the saute poition.
Mrs. Wheedou, the landlady of the Marquis of
liranby, Charles-street, stated that Taylor remained in
the house all the time.
P. Hughes still persisted that Taylor was the man
who threw away the watch, and who was rescued front
him by the two men,
The Magistrate remarked that it was a case which
he thought should be derided by a Jury, and therefore
committed the prisoner Stevens fur trial.
Francis Parse, driver of the hackney chariot 157,
appeared on summons, to answer the following charge:

A very violent wind prevailed during the greater

young wan, named Peatland, attempted to put a period
to his existence at his lodgings, No. 6, in the Mint,
Southwark. Ile had but recently arrived from the
country fur the purpose of getting a situation, but his
success not being equal to his expectations, and all his
clothes and money being gone fur his support, he
formed the determination of destroying himself. At-
rordingly he bought a small quantity of laudanum at
ditkrent shops, for the purpose, as he said, of mixing
with a gargle for a suie throat, and when he had accu-
mulated a large quantity, he swallowed the 'Lute of
it, thinking the effect a ould be inure certain and speedy,
