Mr. liussettatEs now contended, 'that Wehh's 'hiving ]

Through Mr. Harmer's advice, and a returning seat* 4
his own dieter, Webb, who had before objected to makfent
any farther disclosure, was weiweellling to accept the terms;
of mercy, but
Mr. Alderman Cox was off *pinion that the circum-
stances against each of this wore of a nature/ sufficiently
strong', and intlmateti his Intention to commit them both
for trial.
Mr. Isaacs asked what stolen property his Client was to

in the warrant of committal.

Toe, seeeiving. thiproperty stolen on the 19;h of July,
liiiing it to the •7ury to decide whether the circum-
stances under which he bad. been apprehended were not
sufficient evidence of his having feloniously reteived that
property from Webb. At all '''vents, he should not take
upon himself to release Webb I the facts of the case might
he subsnitted to the Court, and if the evidence against
the restiver should not be deemed sufficient to con-
vict upon, the Court would then decide whether or
not the, principal felon should be admitted a entities
against him. : • I

committed. '

prisoner; this is slaw of felony, and therefote it is not;
Itemiser, for you to be present."
Mr. Price.— " I sin aware 1 have no right to be present:
lu'a case of felony, but by courtesy it is generally allowed."'
Mr. LAING then prepared to enter into the case, when it,
appeared that an important witness td sustain the cliarim
against the prisoner was not present, but that it was eft-1
peat(' that he would be there in the course of the day,--1
The further examination wastberefore postponed till two
o'clock.
Ationg the business that occhpied the magistrate in the
interim, was an application by a Mrs. Taglionali, of
OtOoli•streeit,• Holborn, for a warrant against a person
fOr fraud. She stated float site bought an old gold watch
of him, for whlCh sop gaye him 31.; this not going well,
she afterwards exchaftged it for another watch, that which
site now produced, and which he bad sold to her, declar.
ing into be a silier-gilt watch. In addition to the other
watch she gave him in exchange ss. Since this trans-
action 'she had discovered that the watch was only petit-or;
and hal therefore applied for a warrant for the fraud.
The Magistrate refused the warrant ; observing that it
was a matter of bargain, and that she had better apply to
an attorney.
About this time %% Price re-entered the office, when
Mrs. Taglionali stated the case to him, and in consequence
Mr. Price advanced towards the magistrate, and voted
that he applied for a warrant against a Man who had de.
trended his client, who was then standing by him.
Mr. LAI no.--Who are you?
Mr. Pricy—My name is Price; I ate a sokitor, add
apply for a warrant for frauds
Mr. LA/No.—You apply: I want no such applications.
Ilon't hear you.
Mr. Price.—But, Sir, I apply to you professionally for
tC Warrant Tor a gross fraud. ,
Mr. LAING..-1 won't hear yon at all. uo you turns
am to be fooled into granting my warrants? I have in-
vestipted the case, and discharged it. I won't have any
thing to
ado with you.
Mr. Price.—Sir sitting magisterially as you do, I call
on yam to grant the swiriant, or to hear the party.
Mr.. Lono.-1 shan't hear you at all, nor shall I pro-
ceed on any such examination.
• Mr. Price.—Sir, the complainant is present, and can de-
tail the eircumstaaces, if you do not like to hear them
from me.
Mr. LAING (pointing to Mr. Price).—Torn that fellow
out. Turn that fellow est. You shall not be bete; nor
shall you appear io the next case.
Limbrick then took hold of Mr. Price's collar, and took
him out.
Mr. LAING then heard tbe case over again, and after
hearing it confirmed his former decision.
About 20 minutes after this bad occurred, Jonah Tillett
was again put to the bar, when Mr. Price re entered the
office and took his stand at the part of the office where the
witnesses while giving their testimony usually stand. On
observing him,
.Mr. LAING addressed Irina "Who are you? What do
von want ?, Do you come here to prefer a charge ?
This am is opn of felony, consequently you have no busi-
ness here,''. , ,
. Mr. Prier.:: 1' ain here quietly, and do not know but
that I have a; Much right to be here as any other person.
I attend professionally, but wish to take no part in the pro-
etesliogs.
Mr. LAING.—I don't care for that (rising with some
animation,) Turn that fellow out—turn that fellow out.
Mr. Price.—Which of your men are you going to order
to turn me out? Whichever of them does it, will do it at
his peril.
Wbili this last speech was making, Mr, Laura again de-
sired the officer te•turn Mr. Price out; and accordingly
Read, jr.. (who.wm the officer in attendance) advanced
and taking hold of Mr. Price, forcibly removed him frons
thi'office.
The-Magistrate then proceeded with the charge against
Tillett OffelOny. From the evidence it appeared that a
quantity of skins such as goldbeaters use was found in the
posseesion of the prisoner' and which the prosecutor Wend&
qJ as being his property. The prisoner in his defence stated,
that he had received them of a person who bad since disap.
rated, with orders to sell them for him. The master of
'the prisoner attended. and gave him a most excellent che-
wier; and caber circumstances also rendering the ac-
eonot given by the prisoner probable, he was discharged,
bin master undeitaking that he should appear whenever
Galled for. It is said Read, jun., and Limerick, the two of-
ficers who were employed in removing Mr. Price from the'
dffiiiiss,beve been both served with copies of writs, and that
thedefarsdpursned by the magistrate is to become the mat-
ter ofjaihtial inquiry.
Upton, it.L.—,Thomas Smith, a young man whose
Wee bespoke distresi.but whose air betokened his having
been in i different situation, was brought up in custody of
the constable of Kennington, charged by Mr. William
Edward George; ageotlemau of the Bank of England, with
baying, eatised arid at his house, at Porto Bello, on the
Wandsworth Road; on Saturday evening.
Mrs. °tinge, tbe wife of the complainant, stated, that's
about seven o'clock on Saturday evening, Mr. George being
then front home, the prisoner came over a wall which seas-.qratel a garden in front of their house, from the Wandsworth
Road, and demanded to see Mr. George. He was told
that Mr. George was not then at home, but he insisted the;
Mr. George si as in the house, and declared that he .vould
*it depart witloet seeing him, and he continued • in,'
the garden repeatiog 'these declarations, and saying bk,
Igeorge was a swiadier,nrul wanted to cheat him out of Isle,'
lotortey, until a crOWd of 50 persons bad assembled, when a'
mineable was sent for, and he was taken into custody.
Miss George depomd to the same effect.
The prisoner beinstealled on to account for his conduct
mid, be .had a terpdgood defence to offer. He proceeded
to state with gemitteenty, that some years ago Mr. George,
'who was• then a single man, paid his addresses to his
(prisoner's) Mother. and she, believing him to be a man of
'honour, received his. suit favourably, but he proved faith-
less, ,stud dederted her. and -married his present lady. His
(delestitutt's):mother during the lime of Mr. George's pro-
.feseerhattachnient, (placed such confidence in him that she
hamster! hies wish :160/. to be expended in fitting out the
defendant.foc:the East4n:lies. After Mr. ,George's deter-
tion of•bis mother An brought an :lesion against him to
recover tbe.snoneye with which she had intrusted him, and
which he bad-wet/applied to the purpose for which it was;
Goaded to hie op/Ct./sir. George, however, threatened her
sigh Idelicateslimiosares, from which cause, and the warrt.
of. evidence, the action was abandoned ; but his mother
desired him tit recover the money from Mr. George, if he:
SS ald,,as it was fur Ada use she gave it to Mr. George. and
lit wes.oot in bet. power to give him (defendant) any other
provision.. He bad in consequence, since endeavoured by
frequent solicitation to obtain payment from Mr. George,
but always without effect; and was at last induced by bias
distress to Os in the manner he bad done at Mr. George's
house on Saturday evening, supposing at the time that Mr.
George was at hem.
The Magistrate asked Mr. George whether the prisoner
had any reason for saying that lie owed him 150 f. ?
- Mr. (Marge 'declared that there: was not the slightest
grounds for she assertion, as he had expended more than
that sum on the prisoner's education, and fitting him out
for sea; and added, that the defendant had repeatedly
threatened to blow out his (Mr. George's) imams.
The Magistrate said it was impossibleaurli conduct could
be allowed: if he had eny claim of debt against Mr. George,
his remedy was by civil action ; but he must not be peruiit.
