nation resulted in all of the four parties
Quirk, Cannon Snap, and Burk, being held
to bail for their appearance at the City Court
this morning, 10 answer the several charges
preferred against them.
We have been requested by the friends OF the
parties, to ask the public to suspend their OPT
Mons upon this subject for few days, when
they allege it will be shown that the judge
did not get more than he deserved.
Responsibility A case of considerable inte-
rest was tried before the Appeal Court, before
Judge Purviance, yesterday. 1t was an appeal
from the decision of c. G., Egcrton, SEN, Esq
given against Ross Winans, Esq, on bill ofDr.
+. w. Theobold, for professional services rem
dered third party. A workman named kenne-
dy, was injured some time in April last, in MIR.
Winans' establishment, by the falling of some
heavy machinery upon him. DR.. Theobold
was sent for and dressed the injuries received,
and the man was removed to his home. Pre-
vious to his removal, however, Mr. Winans re-
quested that every proper attention might be
paid the man, leaving the impression that he
would be responsible for the expense The man
got well Of the injuries, but was attacked with
the bilious in August and died. DR.. Theobold
then sent bill to Mr.. w. of $50 for services
rendered, which he declined paying, but sub
seQuently, in an interview with DIR. r., offered
$50, which was refused DR.. T., when he sent
the bill of $50 to Mr. W., sent word that if he
would pay the amount cash. he would receive
it, although but half fee, of what the law
would allow for his services, and that if he was
compelled to 90 to law for it, he should de-
mand the whole amount of 500. Mr.. W. re-
/ fused to pay it, and DR.. Il. accordingly warrant
ed him for the sum before Justice Egerton,
who gave Judgment for the whole amount
MIR. w. appealed, and the case was heard yes
terday. George r. Richardson and Benz c.
Freshman, Esqrs., appeared for the Doctor
and J. II. b. Lalrobe, Esq, for Mr.. w. After
hearing the evidence and the arguments of the
counsel the Judge confirmed the dec sion Of
the Justice, on the ground, that, in making use
Of the language requesting every care to be ia
ken of the in lred man, and thereby leaving an
impression on the mind of the Doctor and 9TH
,rs, that he would be responsible for the en-
pense, made him equally as much, as if he had
said SO in express words.
The Escaped Burglars. No arrest of either
llaag or Thomas, who escaped from Jail, on
Thursday morning, has as yet been made. A
person answering the description of one of the
parties, was seen gong out the York Road, and
pursuit was made, but we have no knowledge
ofwhat success. The Attorney General stated ;,
previous to the adjournment Of the City Court
yesterday that he intended going into an ex-
animation of the facts in regard to the escape
Of these prisoners, this morning; deoming it due
not only to the State, but to The deputy war
den Ronch himself, that some investig alton
should be had. With the present facts before
the public strong suspicion may rest upon MIR.
Roach, Of connyanCe at their escape, which it
is due to his character should be cleared UP, if
possible. That there was gross neglect in the
deputy warden, and unwarranted diso5edience
OF orders none will doubt. 1t was most un-
fortunate affair, and we know that no one feels
it more keenly than Mr.. Sellers, whose care
and attention to his duties, have been such as
to elicit the Warmest enComiums of all parties,
but whose reputation can not be impaired in
the slightest degree, nor can that OF the other
deputy wardens, by this unforeseen circumstance.
We trust that the tugtives may yet be retaken.
a .Nilc Method Of Stumbling. We have been
made acquainted with new mode of swindling
by obtaining goods under false pretences, which,
as it was perpetrated by lad, is more than
usually criminal. 1t appears that the perpe-
traitor, youth, aged about twelve years, called
upon u manufacturer of ink, and stated that his
mother was poor widow, without the means
Of procuring a livelihood, and requested that a
quantity of nk and o. her articles should be Civ
Ell him to sell on commission, pledging his word
that he would promptly pay for them as soon
as sold. The gentleman, won by his ingenu-
Gus manner, and actuated by desire to alev-
ate his distress, gave him a small stock of
goods, and promised to render him still further
assistance This took place some time ago,
and the boy has not since been seen. Enqui-
ries, however, have been made, and the fact
asceftained that he was an unworthy object,

of publishing such instances of crimnaity in
youth, but think it due the public, as a warn
! ing that their charities may not be vainly be-
slowed.
