Henry Jubbins stood"indicted Mr striding -A
twenty pound Bank note, the property of 'a gen-
tleman named Cole.
The principal witness in this case was a servant
of Mr. Cole, named William Watlien, who stated,
that the Prisoner was occasionally employed to as-
sist is his master's stable, and that in the month
of July last, his master having occasion to leaVe
town in a hurry, he employed the Prisoner to
carry a check on the house of Robarls and Cu. to
the Royal Exchange Assurance Office, and desiml
him to return as, soon as possible with a receipt.
The Prisoner, however, instead of complying with
these instructions, went to the house of Hammers_
ley the banker, in Pall Mall, to get it exchanged,
he was there informed of its being drawn on Ro.
harts and Co. whither he went, obtained the
change, and absconded. He was apprehended in
a few days after at a short distance from London.
Mr. Justice Bence, who tried the cause, hero
interrupted the proceedings, and on consulting
with Isis brother 3mlges, said the prosecution mutt
atop there, the indictment being erroneously laid.
Had tire Prisoner being indibted for embezzlement,
le said, it might have had the desired effect ; but
as the MSc now stolid, the Prisoner most be ac.
quitted, inarnisch as. it did not appear that the
twenty pounds, with stealing which the Prisoner

stoadchwrged, had ever hem in the possession of
the Prosecutor.. His cancel therefore, was not
--latificient to constittqa a-felony at eoinason law.

BOLLOCIL 0. Boris WelfrieillaY last,
at North Shields, a bullock' broke loose from
some hoteliers, and ran through the street in a
furious manner, bet his progress was at length
stopped by hls.takiwg down the Ifole-in.the-Walt
quay, which was seemly wide enough to allow
him aloes, passage. To the astonishment of the
spolators, when be same to the doer of the Hole-
in-tba.Will, which was opened by a sadden twist
of his body, lie entered the house, and walked
majestically op steles into the kitchen, *here
the sees of optwar and confusion that en-
sued is indescribable ; the •bellock was heard
bellowing, the women screaming, and the for-
vitiate breaking in pieces, lo the midst of
which eeretusion, the floor yielded to the pon.
dermas weight of the animal, who, however, dis.
engaged himself by *desperate plunge, and break-
ing down a partition, entered the grand chamber
of the lady Abbess, where he also laid some vs-
luable fern/tore ander his feet, and then thrust
hislead through the windoiv, whence he loudij:
bellowed defiance to hie pursuers. He was at last
secured, and is, perhaps, the first male visitor
that ens got out of that stew without having his;
pockets lightened.
