I even went further and tried by separatalthe words "nu respectable persons attenikd the meeting, from other words in the offensive pamage of the speech, to iodise him to make that admis sion. lloscver, the right hon. baronet said he would adhere to hi, laugusge iu its entirety. I then asked hire to refer in. , to a friend. (laughter.) He said I must write to him ou the subject, and I did. and if the house will allow me I well read the letter :—" My dear Sir Itubert,—As the explauation giveu by you to me regarding the words 111.1kat use of by you towardethe O'Donughue last eight iu the house is not satisfactory, and as the matter cannot possibly retnaia in its present position, I mum request you at once to refer toe to • (mud.' About 8 o'clock on Saturday evening I received • letter from the right hon. baronet, which is very short and sweet- -(hiughter)—stating that he had referred it to a frieol I naturally supposed that I would have been given the name. but no name was men tioned. That hitter, though written at half-past 4 o'clock, I del sot receive until late at night. Last night I got Another letter from the right hon. baronet stating what the house has already heard. that be referred me to the noble lord at the head of the government. (Laughter.) The house will allow me to say that there is no one, I believe, in the house who would so readily respond to any thing of the kind as the noble lord. (Laughter.) The letter was to the following effect :—"ln consequence of a conauutecation I received from Lord Palmerstou very early ou setuntty,iin Saturday morning 1 referred the letter you addressed to me to the noble viscount, and I have received • reply from the noble viscount desiring tne to refer you to hue." (Laughter.) I did myself . the honour of waiting upon bud Palmerston this merit ing early, and I stated to haul that Sur R. Peel had referred me to him; that I came for all explauation of the words made use of by the hoe. limpet ou Friday night in debate, red that I thought he would agree with me that such words ought not to be pissed over. The noble lord told me what the rules of the holm. were, suet 1 said, "Oh, my lord, if you take this up otheielly, it is no use my taking up your time any further. (Laughter.) Finding that the whole matter had been taken up officially, and that in fact it was reported to you, sir, before 1 deemed it necessary to wait upon the right hoe. baronet, I felt myself placed io • very painful peeitiou. I dal what I considered my duty towards my friend. (Hear, hear.) I had to vindicate his honour, and 1 went about it in the only way I endemism!. (Laughter.) The honour of my boa. friend the mintier for Tipperary was placed in my hands. It is now handed over to you, air, and the noble lord at the head of the Treasury, and I hope you will pm serve it. (Hear, bear.) The SPEA K ER—The hoc. and gallant member for Lime. rick, speaking ea behalf of the bon. member for Tipperary, has received full latitude. sad I must now point out to the house that it would not be proper for the house to follow to the extent be has goes. because one of the rules of the home is, if inceptiori be taken to any words spoken in de bate, it must be taken at once and upou the spot, and that no words tan come under discussion to which such excep tion has not bees taken, and which have sot been written down by the clerk at the table. The importance and value of that rule is illustrated in the present case. The hon. awl gallant gentleman has not produced the exact words used ou the occasion. It is therefor* my duty to inform the house that it is contrary to the rules of the house to proceed to discuss the words which passed on Friday evening. The time for dummied those words hastens by. Now, a breach of haa been brought under the uoticoof the house, and it is again my duty to call upuu the hon. member fur Tippe rary to express his regret for having committed that breach of privilege, which I must observe to him is an offence to wards the house, and to give an assurance to the house that the matter shall not proceed any further. (Hear, heard The O'DONOUHUE —Sir, I hope it is unnecessary for me he say that I regret deeply doing anything to violate is an why the privileges of this house. (Hem, hear.) I may say that 1 am almost the last person in the house to do anything to wound the seamy tdoilities of any hoe. member. (Hear, hear.) I hope, • 1 however, the house will accord to me for • moment that consideration which it invariably exceeds to those who have personal explanatioes to make. Having received this after noun an intimation from the noble lord at the head of the goverument that he deemed it his duty to mike this even , mg • statement in reference to myself, I have accordingly attended in my place, and as I took it for greatest that the ststemeut of the Goble lord would refer to what took place on Friday night. made a copy of the words used by the right hon. bare et the chief secretary to the Lonl-Lieu teuant of brined, which I considered personally offensive. In rising to offer a few words of enplauation, I am sure I do not el roceously estimate the character of this house, when I expect from the house all the more consideration from the fact that the right hon. geutleruan did all in his power to excite prejudice against me. Perhaps the house will permit me to read the words which I tonsidered offeu sive Alluding to the alleged prosperity of Ireland the right hon. gentleman sad, •Of the justice of that opinion no more remarkable proof can be adduced than that which took place the other Jay, when there was danger of rupture with America, and Ireland was tilled with American emis saries, who tried to raise a spirit of disloyalty. A meeting was held at the &Amide, at which • few manikin traitors sought to imitate the cabbagetardeu traitors of 1848; but I am glad to my that they met with no ree sponse , -that there was no one to !clime, and that there was not • single man of respectaliility who answered the appeal." I felt that that lingunge was personally effeusive to me, and I thought I could out let it peas. I felt that the right hon. baronet had come down to the house having 1•1(111 up his mind to disparage my social pesition. I do nut attach any important.. to assertions or IDSIOU4IIOIII made in the excitement of debate, or in the hest of ar. s mment. Great allowances are to be made for speakers un der such circumstances ; bath am quite prepared to do the right bon. baronet the kitties of saying that hi speeches bear the marks of careful preparation. His meaning ea Friday night was quite manifest, because his observation drew all the eyes of the hou,e upon me. (Hear, heard What wee Ito do! Could I submit to such an imputation, to such an affront, with out forfeiting my claim even to associate with honourable men, and without bringing diagram. on the memory of those whose honour I am bound to cherish, and without, I may my, entailing a legacy of shame tie those who came after ? What course was Ito take! I am perfectly aware teat the ancieet mode of arbitrament has fallen into dis• use, but I am likewise aware that those unseemly manners which rendered it almost necessary have also disappeared. (Hem, litsr.) What thee did I dos. I consulted my hon. and gallant friend the member fur Limerick, in whose hands I felt my honour was perfectly safe, and upon whore Jude !neut, material as it is by the experience acquired in the most honourable of professions, I could implicitly rely. I consulted with my hon. friend, sad he agreed with me that I was entitled out only to expect an explanation from the right hon. gentleman, but that I was bound to demand, and if possible to obtain, an explaustion. Well, sir, we did all that we could to obtain an explauatino. I ant sure the house will agree with me that there was nothing bullying in the tom we adopted. Well, we failed to obtain it ; and if Imu forced to come to the conclusion that the right has. baronet is taut in an eminent degree distinguished by thew qualities for which hi countrymen generally ste remarikedie the fault is certtiuly nut muse. 1 must say that whaterwor the right homourable gentleman may think flu to may with regent to my political imuduct or course of action, bare uotbing to say to it. He may talk as much as be planes about cabbage-garden heroes, and with Al the inure Imam from the fact that the inferences which the right ben. gentlemau wishes the public to draw are hosed on the asset &greet misrepresentation of facto. When I say that the right hon. baronet is perfectly at liberty to say whet he likes about my political conduct, I may explain it in this way, that I should coosider myself perfectly juitiliel, if I thought it worth while, ti say that the right bon. gentleman's conduct +bee he went to Derry and spoke as he did of the Archbishop of Dublin was moat dia criehteble—(lcouil cries of "Order")—but I do not feel my self justified in saying— - . The SPEAKER—I do not think this lean eismien on which it is competent for the hon. gentleman to enter into a general diseases, of this nature. The matter is con fined in much one ewer limit& (Hear, hear.) The O . II4INOGRUZ—Iiir, I bow to your decision, but before I sit down I wilt le way that I begin to be afraid that the mind of the right hem gentleman is out quite so hollow, and that there is mesh more of craftiness and cunning ill his disposition. (Lend cries of "No," and "Order.") Then, in combining I will only say that the right lion. gentleman is much mistaken if be supposes ho can force me here to withdraw from a position which I occupy elsewhere, or to renounce opinions which I conscientiously hold, mod which I erniscieuttomly believe are held by the great ma. jority of the Irish people. In conclusion, I hare to thank the house for the attention they have accorded to n.e, and I thank the right hon. gentleman for the opportunit he haa afforded me of exhibiting him in his real (Laughter, murmurs, and cries of "Oh," in the midst of which the hon. gentleman resumed his seat.) The Pilli.t K lilt— l trust the hon. gentleman is aware that the matter in question lies not between himself and the right hoe. baronet, but between himself sod the house — (hear, howl—and I hope that he will not ocuelude his speech without some reference to the position in which he ham placed himself with the house. The O'DoNI)OHIf E —I thought I had already apoingimed to the house for mounitting a breach of their privileges. (Cries of " Nri.") I think 1 may ad a that after what bail passel at would be almost uousameary for me, but of course I am ready to may, if it is mammary, that it shall go ,so further. . . _ Ttao matter thee dropped.

These questions pee rise to a di,cnssion, or rather clis cosoi"na, et a diacursive character, but relating to topics of much interest, in which Mr. Henley, Mr. Bentmck, Sir M. Seymour, Sir F. Smith, Sir M. Pete, and air J. Pakington prcietpabd. Lord C. PAGET replied to the questions of which notice had been given, observing, with reference to the appoint ment of the Admiralty Committee, that the government were quite ready to agree to, though it was not for them to propose, its reappointment; and he deferred noticing the miniellaneous topics incidentally discussed until the house was ha committee. Mr. LINDSAY, refening to the statements by the go vernment last session of the strength of the French iron feet, upon the faith of which • large sum Lad been voted, complained that those statements had been exaggerated, supporting his argument by an account of the actual condi tion of the French iron fleet which he had just received, and which showed that we were greatly in advance of France. Seeing OS, and that we had more wooden ships than all the world put together, he did nut think there was a neces sity for so large an outlay as was proposed in the eitimates, especially in regard to wooden ships, and he proteste d against this large expenditure, Mr. BAXTER took the same view as Mr. Lindsay, con sidering that very strung and cogent reasons should be given for the large (Manatee proposed. The disturbing causes having ceased, why, be asked, should we not return to the ordinary average rata of expenditure in 1857 and 1868? He stated facts to show that there had been a delusion as to the strength of the French navy. The house then went iuto a committee of supply. Lord C. FACET moved the navy estimates ; and in the fret plisse referred to the questions !Maeda. to the strength of the Free& navy, and reiterated the assertions of last year as to the number of French iron-plated weasels afloat and reedy to go to sea. He stated that the estimate pm posed for the present year amounted to 11,714,3061,, being • decrease on that of last year of 846,2 EU. There was a reduction in the sum for the number of seamen, for stores, and steam machinery, and for the transport service. There was an increase in the vote for that valuable fore., the meal reserve ; and an increase in the vote for artificers. There was an apparent decrease of 9,001. W., but in fact that was oily 2,0001., as the number of boys was stated by itself, and not partly among the men, as heretofore. This would be ef fected without the loss of the beet men to these/Mee. The form afloat to be maintained was, 10 ships in the Mamma = 6 /1/ 14 4 in the Moliterreneso ; and in America, and other the numbers made the total 1411 vessels of all eludes. In many instances frigates could be substituted for linesf-battle ships. There were also coast guard ships and Work ships, which would bring the whole force up to 160 maids. The total number of men, coast guard, and boys te be maintained would be 54,200 afloat. Besides US. the Imes available for war, there were men end boys, 4,400 ; marines on shore, 9.800 ; coast guard M shore, 4,C ; riggers in dockyards, 700 ; able. bodied pensioners, 4,400; making 73,300 men. Then them was the royal naval reserve, whose noble and astrisble conduct recently showed how thoroughly they were be be depended on ; first-rate seamen as they were, who seer exceeded 10,0110, their cost per taco, including wow limes, Omen* ships end all, was cleat 131. a year. The b WON of the merchant service were joining this /wee. The coast volunteers were 8,030. There VA OS the whole 40,800 men In reserve, ready for swim to emergency. That, with the form in corn mission, made a force of 96,000 men, which gave at least a satisfactory condition of our force afloat and our lerViCet. Then as to boys—the nursery for the envy—there were 9,000, of which 6,500 were in the feet, 54.3 in the coast guard ships, and 2,500 in fattish* ships, costing about 451. per annum each. They filled up the casualties of the navy at the rate of about 2,500 par 1611111/1. Referring to the sanitary condition of the navy, be slated the average death rate was 16 per 1,000. Means wen Wag taken to improve the ventilation of ships of war, and the oomplmente of men could be reduced. There was an improvement in the quality of the food of the men, which had caused an increase in the victualling vote. Worts would be made to improve the education of the men. The number of desertions bad considerably decreased mil corporal punishment bad also decreased to • very low point. The noble lord gave • list of the steam vessels of the navy afloat and building, amounting to 580. Referring to the reduction of the armaments of ships, he stated that it was owing to the straining of long steam ships, and the alteration of the system of ordnanoe which implied few gum and heavy shut, that this esperiment was being tried. Referring to iroo.cased ships, he stated that the Warrior cost 354,8101. There were 15 iron ships build ing, of which 11 would be afloat this year, 12 Pent year, and in 1864 there would be 15 afloat. There was • totally novel class of vessels about to be coo structed on Ceptem Coles' cupola plan; one was about to be built this year, carrying six of those iron cupolas sad 12 large Armstrong gum. She would have no masts. With regard to the Warrior, she encountered on her left voyage most terrific weather, but she arrived at Lisboa without any serious defects. As to her not steering, the fact was her helm was so constructed that she had not sufficient play. The noble lord then commented on each vote in detail, and concluded by moving the first vote of 76,00 seamen, boys, and marines far the fist aid coast guard. After • discussion which went considerably into details, Lord PA LMERSTON said— My boo. friend the member for Sunderland, and my hon. friend the member for Moutro se, have stated that they imagiaed I was very much deceived in the statement I made lest year as to the iron fleet the French government had built or were building. I think if there is any delusion on the subject it is on their part, not on mine. (Hear, hear.) And though I do not want to re peat every year the names of ships and places. I assure you that the twestycir iron ships I stated were completed, and others are either completed or in progress ; that there is no diminution in that particular, and that, so fax (Km it, if I am not very much mistaken, it is not • great tints wince the question of forming ten more was uoder con. sideratioo. _ . Sir J. ELPHLNSTONE said that the bottom of Ports mouth harbour was not a shifting one, and that there was no point in the Channel where docks could be made so cheaply and accessibly. All that was required was to apply steam power to remove the obstructions.

THE SPECIAL MEETING OF COMMANDERS OF VOLUNTEKRfi TO Till EDITOR OT TEIZ ZIPEZIIB. SIR —A report frastipieat7.l rin the Observer of yesterday, purportie; to give the proceedings at a special meeting of commanding officers of volunteers in the metro politan districts, on Friday last, which had been called by Lords Truro and Hanel/4h, for the of rescinding certain resolutions pained in A • MI, by a large majority, on the subject of the not and organisation of divisional field days. This report in so incorrect in the most important particulars that the Marquis of Donegal, the chairman of the meeting, has requested us to ask from you the insertion of the following oorrectioue The errors are—L It is stated that Lord Itanelagh moved Lord Colville into the chair, bat that an amendment was carried substituting Lord Do negal. The facie are that Lord Donegal was, in the first instance, moved into the chair by Lord Elam at the suggestion of Lard Colville, who had declined to take it. An amendment of Lord Itaraelagh's, to substitute Lord Colville for Lord was then moved and lost. 27.1:is stated that Lord Radstock's motion, for destroy ing all records of the commanding officers' meetings, was lost by 14 to 12. Tie actual numbers IMO 19 to 6. _ ila;;Tatediluiianetieek on Lord Banehigh was made by Lord Eloho which was repelled by Lord Ranalash with greet indignation. The facts are that the discussion was conducted on all sides in the best temper and spirit, and that Lord Eloho, speaking after, and not before, Lord ltanelagh, closed the debate. We have now corrected miss statements ; it only remains for us to supply an omission, viz., that the resolutions which the meeting was specially called to rescind were con firmed by a rrajunty a 20 to 6.—We are, &c. Feb. 24. JOSIAH WILKLNSON, Ilion. THOS. HLrOIIES, f Secs. LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY. The directors' report, leaned in anticipation of the half-yearly meeting, on Thursday next, states that the statement of revenue foe the six months eliding the Slit of December last shows • decided improvement as compared with that of the previous half-year, the increase in the traffic receipts amounting to 27,3001., and that in the working expenses to only 7,9001. This result is the more satisfactory, inasmuch as the line was not opened to Dover town until the clod of July, nor to the harbour until the lit November last, nor have the company, as yet, been in a position to commence the continental traffic. When the goods traffic becomes developed and the arrangements are complete for commencing the continental traffic, a my large increase in the receipts may be antics . paged. The trains are now running with great :Entrity, the difficulties from • deficiency of stock having been surmounted. Two of the new steamers have been completed. The reunite of several trials have proved the veiled' to be very superior, both in speed and accommodation, to any that have as yet been constructed of the sales length and draught. Of the three additional vessels in progress, two have been launched, and are being fitted with their engines and machinery. The company bars also secured for the con. veyance of their peesenger and goods traffic the use of the fleet of the contractors for the mails between Dover and I.,nlais. The directors have further to report that the works on the metrupolitan extensions are proceeding with unabated vigour, and it is expectsd that the lion will be completed and opened from the Victoria station to the Elephant and Castle in June next. The directors re gret that, owing to the delays interposed by the oorpo- ratiou of the City of Loudon, it has not been possible to commence the bridge across the Thames at Bbackfriara The design of the proposed bridge was long since sanc tioned by the Admiralty and the Thames Consmoaney Commissioners, and the approval of the corporation is eddy wanting to enable the contractors to commence the works , immediately. Early last year the design was submitted to ' the corporation, and they were requested to express their views upon it as soon as possible ; but from that time to the present, although repeated applications have been made to them, nc satisfactory answer has been re. ceivel. By means of an independent company the directors are promoting an extension of their metropolitan line from Herne-hill, by Denmark-hill, Peckham, Peckham-rye, and Forest-hill, to • station opposite the main entrance of the Crystal Palace, and on • level with the fluor of the building. The importance of affording another and • bet ter station for the Crystal Palace traffic which will flow over the company's lines both from their own districts and from the railways north of the Thames with which they will be connected, was fully admitted by the committee of the House of Commons which passed the company's Metro politan Extension Bill, and is, indeed, generally acknow ledged. The proposed line will also afford improved railway communication to a very po pulous district. There are several bills before parliament a ffecting the company's interests, to which the directors feel it their duty to give their most earnest attention. The principal area line promoted by the South-Eastern Company from Lewisham to Dartford end by Sevenoaks to Tonbridge, a line promoted by the Mid- Kent Company for the purchase of the Crays line, and a line promoted by the Brighton Company, forming • Junc tion with the company's line at Herue.hill, and wain by Peckham and Dulwich to a junction with the Crystal Palace line at the west end of the Crystal Palace tunnel. This latter line, if granted, will be especially injurious to the company's interests, and will considerably eggravate the dangers and difficulties which already exist at the Palace Station. On the other heed, the Sevenciaka a = laity are pprroommoting extensions of their line to Toubridge and Maidstone, watch the board recommend the share holders to support by every means in their power. SHOCKING AOCIDI2I7 ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY, —Os Saturday night • serious accident occurred cm the Midland Railway. It appears that • middle-aged man, named Charles Bird, an enpneman one of the ocalpita of Messrs. Coseham and Wetbered, at Pucklecburch, left Soundwell to walk on the line to his home at Pickle church. It is supposed that becoming weary he lay down and fell asleep, and that • train came up shortly afterwards and passed over his legs. The accident was not discovered at the time, and the poor fellow remained, in a frightfully mutilated state on the line till Sunday morning, when, on being discovered, be was conveyed to the Bristol Royal Infirmary. The medical officers of that institution ettee him without delay. They found that each of his legs had received • compound comminuted fracture—one of them, in fact, being almost entirely severed from the body—and his head and neck exhibited severely ooutused wounds. In the course of Sunday both legs were amputated, and the other ' injuries dressed, but it is sot expected that the pm fellow can survive. He has a wife and several small children. MEETING OF DURHAM PITMEN.—A very numer ously attended meeting of the pitmen course:fed with the collieries of the county of Durban, was held in the Town hall of the city of Durham on Saturday last, for the purpose of considering the propriety of petitioning parliament I. favour of the double-abaft system, he. Mr. Joseph Liddell moved a resolution in favour of petitioning parliament to appoint a number of sub-inspectors, in addition to the pre sent inspectors, from the class of intelligent practical pitmen, and to render it compulsory upon all cualowners under cer tain regulations to work their pits with double shafts. The motion was unanimously adopted. Messrs. George Mack- Imlay, Robert Walton, William Robeou, and Terence Casey afterwards spoke at considerable length In favour of the double-shaft system, and a petition embodying the views of the speakers was afterwards unanimously agreed to. Resolutions were also poised in favour of the establishment of • permanent fund of a national character for the relief of the widows and orphans of those who were killed by acci dents in coal mines.--Sliejleld Indepeedeta. tiounr Kmaaworox lifuesum.—During the week ending Feb. 22 the visitors have been as follows r—On Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday. _free days, apse from' JO a.m. to 10 p.m., 9,987 ; on W e dnesday, Thursday, red I Friday, students' days (admission to the pablic &L), open from 10 a.m. till 4 p.m. 1. 206; total, 11,193.

He had gone on when he was koowlingly insolvent, and bad largely increased his debt to Mr. Tubb, the malteter. The dividend would not be above le. in the pound. The bankrupt bed been • ready instrument in the hands of his brothers•in-law for defraud ing Mr. Tubb. The certificate must be suspended for six mouths, with protection from arrest—a =oath belegallowed the bankrupt for the purpose of appealing. THE POLICE COURT& BOW-STREIiT. Jahn Tapplia was brought up on remand, charged with stealing 31 scrip shares of the Melbourne and Hobsoa's Bsy Railway Company, sad 8 certificates representing 15 sharta of the National Bank of Australasia, and two sets of studs, the property of Mr. Nuttlebury, of Melbourne, solicitor to those companies, frees Morley s Hotel. Kr. LIMB (Lewis and Lewis, Ely-place) attended for the prisoner. In addition to the former evidence. Mr. Tredinnick, stock and share broker, of Lombard street, stated that on the 13th February the pi:sooer called on him with a proposition fora loan of '3501. on ten shares of the Melbourne and Hobson's Bay Railway. Witness in formed the prisoner that he could not enter into such a transaction, except with • customer; but if the prisoner would purchase some shares of him, he would then consider the proposal. It would also be necessary that be should see the arta- Suttee, and take time to make inquiries to satiety him that they were genuine. The prisoner called again the same afternoon with the certificates. It was agreed that the pri soner should purchase railway shares to the value of 1504, and should deposit the 10 certificates of shares, which were worth 4001., as security for the 1501. and for 250/. cash, which witness was to Advance. The 10 certificates of shares which the prisoner was to deposit (and which were the same produced by the officer Wallia) were in the name of " W. J. Nuttlebury," and the prisoner represented that this was his name. The first step in the transaction was the transfer of the 150/. worth of shares from witness to defendant, and in giving the necessa7 signature for that purpose, the prisoner signed his name "J. W. Nuttlebury." The reversal of tho initials excited witness's suspicious, and Be made inquiries, from which he ascertained that the certificates had beso stolen. The next time the prisoner called witness detained him and sent for the officer. A pawnbroker attended and produced a set of studs, pledged by the prisoner. They were identified by Mr. Nuttlebury as one of the two vete stolen from his port manteau. In reference to the statement made by the prisoner to the officer, that he had won the shares at a billiard room from a person whom he then supposed to be Mr. Nuttlebury, Mr. Nuttlebury stated that he never in his life maw the prisoner until the latter wan in custody on this charge, and that he had not on any occasion entered a billiard room since he came to London. . . . The prisoner was committed for trial. A well-dressed dashing-looking young man, who said his name was Arthur Courtney, was brought up in custody of Police-constable Ackriil, F 48, charged with stealing a hone and dog-cart from Mr. John Frederic Cole, of Richmond, livery stable keeper. Mr. Cole deposed—On Friday lut the prisoner hired • bone and dog-cart from me, for which he was to pay me 31.3 a. up to Saturday night, and 11. Is. per day afterwards. From information I received I came to town yesterday, and found my horse and trap in the possession of Mr. Cooper, now present, Mr. Thomas Cooper, of Montague-mews, cab proprietor, deposed —On Saturday I went to Aldridge's Repository, in St. Martin's-lane, to buy a hone. The prisoner asked me if 1 would buy a dogcart and horse which be had for sale at the Holborn Repository? I said I only wanted the horse, not the dog-cart, and I would wait and see if I could suit myself at Aldridge's. When the sale was over there, I went with the prisoner, thinking the horse might suit me, and perhaps !might sell the dogost. Ultimately I bought the horse and dog-cart for 11/., and paid the clerk, who handed the money to the pr • soner, and I took the hone and trap away. Afterwards the officer came to me about it, and I was quite surprised. Of course I thought it was all right, buying the hone and trap publicly at an auctioneer's. Ackrill, F 48—On Saturday I was sent for by one of the clerks at the Holborn Repository, who told me the pri. sourer had deposited a bone and trap there that morning, and had just sold it for 111., whereas it was worth 231., or thereabouts. He therefore thought the prisuer could not have come by it honestly. I asked the prisoner if it was his own? He said, " Yes. I have had the hone and harness three years, and the trap nine mouths; I swapped a four-wheel for it. ! brought the horse and trap from Brighton last night." I went to make some inquiries, and then returned and took him in charge. I than said to him, " Do you still say you brought the horse and trap from Brighton? What if I say you brought it from Richmond " He said, " I did bring it from Richmond. I am very sorry." In defame the prisoner said—l was in a fix for money and I hired it to dispose of it. I expected money from my father, which would enable me to get it again and return it at the expiration of the time. He was committed for trial on this charge, but ordered to he brought up again on some others of • similar nature.
