CHARGE OF FALSE PRKTRNcEs-The case of
Marion Eastwood VS.. VIM. Treadway came
up for a hearing before Justice Walter at five
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, L. G. Hine, EIq.,
appe iring for the plaintiff, and J. E. Norris,
ESQ. for the defendant. Eastwood charged
the defendant with borrowing a certain sum of
money from him, for which he received an
order on his pay in one OF the departments, the
mother had money belonging to him. Eat
wood testified he had not r. ceIved the money,
and would not have loaned ii had he not
thought the defendant had money in his
mothers hande. The plaintiff now brings suit
tor Obtaining money under false pretsnces and
defence produced witne les to show that the
estate Of the defendants father had not be On
settled up, and argued that the acceptance OF
the order wa sufficient to refute the plea that
the plaintiff loaned the money on the mere as.
sertion that the defendant had money coming
from his fathers estate. After hearing the ar
gument on both sides, the Justice reserved his
decision until Thursday.
