ALLEGED FRAUDULENT BILL OF SALE. Mr. George Augustus Evett, • solicitor practising at Brighton, wee indicted at the Central Criminal Court, on Tuesday for misdemeanour in having conspired with tea persons, named Renton and Cox, to prepare and publish • fictitious bill of sale, with intent to defraud. This case involved the same facts as were given in this court last session, when Cox and Renton, the two prisoners included in the present indidnient, were tried upon the same charge and were convicted. The prosecutor was • barrister named Munster, living at Brighton, and it appeared that in 1882 he beought an action against Mr. Renton, who was the proprietor of a journal called the Brightornan, published at Brighton, for • series of libels upon him. This action was tried in London on June, 1882, before Mr. Justice Hawkins, and relented in a verdict by consent for 40s. and *nets. Their costs were ultimately taxed at g 492, bet when , the sheriff went to Railten's premises to levy a 1 bill of sale was produced under which it appeared that the whole of the property had rowed to Cox to secure a debt that had been incurred by Banton to Cox. The effect of this proceeding was that the sheriff retired, and Mr. Munster was unable to obtain any of his costs. An interpleader action , was subsequently tried, and Mr. Cox obtained a verdict, but • new trial was granted. and ultisestely the bill of sale waa declared fraudulent and void as against the trustees of Renton, who had been declared a bankrupt. It was subsequently ascertained that • deed of partnership had been executed between Esiltan and eaz al 1881, and part of the case for the promotion was that this partnership had been diesolved by • deed for the express purpose of enabling Renton to execute the fraudulent bill of vale to , Cox. The case against Mr. Brett was that he was a party to the concoction of the deed dissohtnig er partnership, and the execution of the subsequent bill ! of male that was alleged to be fraudulent and fictitious. —At the cline of the evidence, the Recorder said he was clearly of opinion that no case of fraudulent conspiracy had been made out against Mr. Evett, and the jury, therefore, by his lordship's directions, returned a verdict of not guilty.
