Mr. MORTON, of Wek , field, addrastd the sr,eeting at tame length, and referred to a mestimg ..1 a portion of share holden holding a certain amount of stock, which win held in December, at which it was admitted by the directo.s that they Were in • very bad position, having not even money with which to pay the interest on the debentures. They had also stet• d a fearful incrust in the estimates. Mr. Morton slid that one thing which ought to be asked of dm direct urn was, why certain shares had been kept hack by the directors until now they were perfectly sakes, when. if add at the proper time, they wadi have realieed 350,0001. ? The tact was that only one reason could be :given, sad it was that these shares were kept beck, in order, had their affairs been prosperous, they might kayo been divided smonast the share hol 'ers and their friends. It. only plan for looking af sr their interests is theur 'seinen was by a committee of investigation. such es bad been productive of good results in the cm of the York, New cootie. and Berwick used other companies, where exposures bad been made, where bypocri‘y had been unmasked, and where week good is • variety of ways had been effected.

Dusux,. . _ The important county of Down his been invited to hold a meeting this day in the county town of l town patrick. to protest against free trade. Some of the northern pspers seem to be surprised at the audacity of the step; as the opin'ons of the population are well known to be more strongly wedded to com mercial freedom in that county than in any other part of 'retard ; but they also otnervethat the audacity is accompanied by a degree of cunning that may bring it through the diffimliy. Thus, between the apps st ance of the requisition on Saturday, and the meeting on Wednesday, there were but two whole days for any preparation on the part of the free traders; and the m . eting was appointed to take place in the County Court, where some two or three dozen per cons, judiciously introduced, might easily command the proceedings. There is a remarkable absence of the leading landed proprietors of the county from the requisation. Clare is expected to respond to the call of the Pro tectionists on Friday next. Lest evening there was a meeting of the score or two styling themselves the " Protestant Association " held at the Rotunda for the purpose of " adoptiog resolutions expressive of the Protestant feeling of Dublin on the vastly important question of protec tion to trade and agriculture." Their leader, the Rev. Treshans Gregg, was the Magnus Apollo on the occasion. DRAMA. OLYMPIC THEATRE. A five-act comedy, entitled " Fashion, or Life in New York," by Mrs. Mowatt, the actress, wee per formed at this theatre last evening, for the first time in this country. It was produced at New York four or five years .e", and has had great emcees. in all parts of the United States ; add the English public, by its reception last night, have confirmed the judg ment pronounced on it in its own country. It cer tainly deserves its mom, for it is en exceedingly clever work, conveying • lively but good-humoured satire on some foibles in American society which are exaggerations of earresponding follies in "the nld country "—aristocratic predilections, and en absurd love of foreign fashion., foreign manners, and foreign titles. This story is confused and ill-constructed, but this fault is redeemed by great excellencies. The dia logue is quite colloquial; very animated, and full of terse and happy expresaions. The serious portion contains lose striking situations, and the scene in which the old man tells the story of his unfortunate daughter, and acknowledges Gertrude as his grand child, is extremely pathetic. The cearacters are well grouped, but, taken singly, have very little novelty. The parvenu merchant, his wound-be fashionable wife and daughter, the pretended count and the villainous clerk, and the French soubrette, are mere common places of the stage. But Miss Prudence is en original and a very racy one; and Mrs. Parker, who acted this character, must surely be an American as well as the author, for • Britisher never could have assumed such en admirable drawl, sr used a rocking-chair with an expression that convulsed the house with laughter. The parte, generally, were well acted. The rough, bat high-hearted, old farmer was admi rably represented by Mr. Davenport. Mr. A. Wigan was excellent as the pretended Count : and ,Mr. Scharf's personation of the clerk, Snoluson, was re markably clever. Mrs. H. Marston wss very enter taining as Mrs. Tiffany, and Miss Fanny Vining gave much interest to the character of Gertrude. Nothing could be better than the manner in which the piece was put upon the stage. The ball-room scene, with the supper room seen beyond it, and a numerous com pany dancing and promenading, was one of the most elegant things we have ever seen in a theatre. The house was crowded. The play was received with the warmest applause daring the performance as well u its close. Tne author, in compliance with loud calls from every part of the house, appeared before the curtain, and was received with acclamations and • shower of bouquets. NAVAL.

He was supported by Mr. Lowrance, and opposed by Mr. HoHams for the assignees, who stated that the prin. opal grounds of opposition were that the bankrupt had gone on traduag when in a state of insolvency—that his expenditure bad been eacessive—awi that, on the eve of his bankruptcy, - - . . o his he had made payments, to tai amount of about 2301., to u. sorbet and brother. At a meeting of creditors shortly belt re his failure, which took place on the 9th of March last, he offend 2s. Bd. in the pound, and represented himself to have 2001. in hand, not a farthing of which had come into the pos session of the enigmas. His brother William, to whom an advance of 2001. had boar made, was is California; and it was not ,likely that any portion of that debt would be re covered. Four days before the bankruptcy he had made an affidavit, when putting in bail for his brother, that he was of a share in the Corn Exchange worth 9001., the r:r id bein g , that he only received the divieends on that share to pay over to another person. When his affairs were in vestigated by Means. Quitter, after the bankruptcy, he con cealed the tat of his being entitled to the reversion of some property, he being at the time in negotiation for the sale of it. He likewise concealed &oaths accountantathe debt due from his brother. It was farther urged against him that he had made sundry email payments in lull to his brother's enedirre shortly before his bankruptcy. In October 1648 he had induced Messrs. Leman, of Lidge, to consign to him • quantity of trot, worth near 1,0001 , on the express under ling/fog that he was not a operator in corn, but only sold Manansion. As soon as he received this flour it was with • Mr. Somers, who was in the habit of making advances, while he kept writing to Means. Leman, ad vising Ikea to hold, in the hope of the market rising. Housenelly, in February, he professed to have sold As liar, at the then market _ prices, rendering eaessinst which wee altogether fans. In 'angry be had sought to obtain another consignment of UN seeks of flour from Messrs. Leman, through • person minni Clark ; but in this he had been disappointed. Mane. Lenore were still creditors for the value of the Ent consign meat, near 1,0001., not a penny having been paid by the bankrupt. By the Factors' Acts, 6 Oto. IV., e. 94, and 0 & 6 Vie., eap. 36, pawed for the mansion of merchants who were in the habit of sonsigaing their goods to tenon for sake, thou bankrupt was guilty of misdemeanor, and had ren dered himself liable to transportation for 14 pan, in the event of his not disclosing his transactions before an India meat was preferred. Seek a mares es the bankrupt bad panned was calculated to strike at the root of all confidense is mercantile transactions. In • similar case at Liverpool, &taint Ludlow had Woad the bankrupt his certilimte altogether. This bankrupt bad also obtained another cargo from Mr. Themplay, which he had pledged for 1,4001. ; but on Mr. Themplay taking active proceedings be got paid in fall to the injury, no doubt, arm other radian. The balanceoneet, prepared by Mears. Pettis and Smith, accountants, of Bringlisllotreot, extended from the let of January, 1848, to the 19th of June last, and contained the following iteeas:—To creditors, 3,2221. ; ditto secured, 451.; 841. ; value of reversionary property, 3001. By good debts, 2091.; property in hands of annenees, 2701.; onsuriiies held by creditors, 601. ; 1,6331. ; expenses, trade and domestic, 1,0661. For the bankrupt it was urged that the representations made by hint as to his property in the affidavit made before the bankruptcy, ought to be put oat of oonsideration, r they had already bad tneir due weight in the case, and had not been the means of Wang Main. Zeman to give him credit. The bankrupt's books had been kept remarkably well ; every entry wee vonead, cue way or another. The alleged payments of hie brother's debts had only been made in cans where he had become security for his brother, ex• apt in respect to one item of 601. The advances to his mother and brother wen justifiable by the cireametances in which they stood towards him Mrs. Vine having jest before charged her estate to • considerable amount, whose present value was 3001., in favour of the banknipt. When he got into difficulties, be made repeated -Ben to his creditors, but without success ; Messrs. Lemare themselves had offend to recommend the bankrupt to other madents, be maid make a better amassment with them This no whims iso This is mown/ lealignay; end parties making such an offer did not come hare to oppose with dna hands. Toey wanted him to have Wen guilty of one of the worst offences known to the Doolittle him, sod called for condign punishment upon him, and yet were ready to recommend him to their friends in his future dealings. By such condset they bed put thane lets out of court. Mr. Hollins cheated that he opposed not only for Messrs. Leman, hat kw the Hie Ilene, did n:= B. Mesirs. Leman could be said to have pat themselves out donut. This offer was made long alter the fraud had Wen oom=itted by the bankrupt; if their hands were not clean, they bad become soiled after wards. Mr. Lawrence: further contended that the other charges urged against the bankrupt had not Wen sustained In such a way as to preclude the bankrupt from receiving his certi ficate. His Honer said it bad been made clear to his satisfaction that the bankrupt had committed nearly every offence that could be committed by • trader. He had commented with out capital, or rather, according to his accounts, with a defi ciency of • shilling and a penny. (Ltughtar.) Being this sum worse than nothing, in the abort space of 13 months he had contracted debts to the amount of 3.2001., had Incurred losses of 1,6001., and hen himself expended more than 1,0001. in carrying on hie Ueda. It wai no excuse for this Nokias nese that he had been 'mean in corn. When be found he could no longer mo co, instead of omitsg to the court he hod parted with 20W. to his br Alter. It alight be said that was not • large sum ; but it was • large am to be male away with, looking at the wreck of his setae*. The menner in which he had made his brother a debtor was onjuatifioble, as was also the amount of his *sperm*. Atter calliog in his account. ants, it appeared he had omitted all mention of so important a thing as that he was entitled to a reversionary interest in 8001 and which had realised 30W. There had been a dis. unct intention to deceive his crediten M this and other re spects ; and from the manner in which cheques had been drawn there was every reason to believe that that intention had existed for some time previous to the bankruptcy. But the great objection was his conduct to his foreign cantors, who had consigned to him goods. When he found a bank rupt doing anything that was calculated to degrade the com mercial character of this country in the eye, al foreigners, he always regarded such conduct as • very grave offense. Though the evidence did not show the bankrupt's conduct to have amounted to a breach of the Factors' Act, yet the man ner in which he had disposed of Hears Lemare's goods was fraudulent on the part of a factor. He had improperly pledged their goods, and applied the proceeds to hie own use. The certificate mot therefore be suspended for two years. Mr. Lowrance asked for protection ; the bankrupt had already been in prison three Months. His Honour—No; I shall withhold the protection in this instance, as a mark of my opisiqn of the case. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. Bares' Mn. JCVIICM PAMIEDI A/4D MIL 31114r1C11 TALPOT'AD. 1U TO 81;1 BSTOSS THS BANSIMPTCY C01:11.T. Edward 2Vaiesee, a strialTiroier, was indicted for felo• slowly neglecting to surrender himself to be examined be fore the Bankruptcy Commissioner, after he had been duly adjudged to be a bankrupt. This case was of a precisely similar description to that which was disposed of at the last session, when the learned judges decided that the wit of parliament under which the cha►ge was preferred had been repealed by the last loankturcty act, that of the 11th and 12th Victoria. Mr. Bodkin, in the meantime, briefly addressed the court, calling the atten'ion of t►e learned judges to the precast t. rise of the statute, and submitting the additional point whether the 6th Geo. 1V , which recognised this particular offence, was not still in existence, although the 6th had been re pealed. Mr Justice Patteaon said they were of opinion that this did not make any difference in the question, and that the prevent indictment could not be supported. The jury accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty. UNLILMYULLT DISPOSING OP VALVABLE SLCURITISS The defendant was then arraigned upon anetber indict ment cherging him with misdemeanour. his. Lakin and Mr. Iluddlestone prosecuted, and Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine appear.d for the defendant. Mr. Bodkin opened the vas He said the defendant wes charged with an offence under an set of parliament of the 7tb and Bth 0.0. IV. sic. 49, which enacted that if any merchant, banker, broker, or agent, to whom any chattel or valuable security 'lineal, be entrusted for • specific purpose, should afterwards, without authority, sell, transfer, negotiate, or pledge such security, he .11 Wel be deemed guilty of the crime of misdeme anour, and be subjected to certain penalties mentioned in the statute in question. The jury would eatha from his readi..g of the section what was the nature of the charge that was preferred against the prisoner, and it was unhecerea , y for him to murk upon the very serious character o. such an offence in a commercial country like this, where so large an amount of property was necessarily placed In the custody of merchant., bankers, and the ether descriptions of persons that were mentioned. The learned couns:l then went on to state, the: the specific charge that was at present made against the prisoner, was that having received an exchequer bill for 1,0001., which he undertook to keep in safe custody, he had disposed of that security, and applied the proceeds to his own use, and when the jury had heard the evidence ;he should lay before them he expected that they would entertain no doubt that the prisoner had coos mitted the offence imputed to him. In cases like the present there was necessarily considerable difficulty is treeing the i-strument that was alleged to have been improperly dis posed of, but he believed in this case he should be able to make out clearly that the prisoner hid unlawfully disposed of the valuable security which had been placed in his posse sion. The learned counsel concluded by stating that from what transpired before the magistrate, he believed the do fence that would be act up for the prisoner was that the act had been committed by a person named Baton, who was engaged as clerk to him, and that be himself was not teapot sible. Tuat person, he was hound to admit, had ahseonded, but it would be fur the jury tc say whethi r, under the cir cumstances that would tie laid before them, they could en any reasonable doubt that whatever might have been the share token by Beaton, the prisoner was au eitaslly guilty agent in the transaction. Mr. Thomas Spurgin deposed that he was formerly a publican, but had retired from business. He was introduced to the prisoner by a friend named Gillett, in order that he might invest some money for him, the prisoner being • stockbrok-'r in Warnford-court. He saw the prisoner on the 14th May in last year, and ashes; his advie• esto the best investment for his money, and he recommended exchequer bills. Witness told him be had about 1,8001. altogether ti invest, and at the same time pave the prisoner a 1,0001. note to purchase an exchequer bill, and he went out for that purpose, and when he returned he had a piece of paper in his hand, and he said he had purchased a bill for him, and witness asked him to take care of it till be gave him some more money to invest for him. On the 16th of May witness gave the prisoner 7001. more, and on the first occasion he gave the prisoner 251. in ad. dition to the 1,0001. He gave him all the money to invest in exchequer bills, and he told the prisoner to send him espies of the bills he should purchase, sad he re ceived two written communications, one from the prisoner on the 14th, and the other from his clerk. Oa the 19th May he spin saw the prisoner, and told him he had come to pay hem the balance of the three exchequer bills he had pur chased for hies, and he gave him 641. lls. Bd., at the same time inquiring if the bills were perfectly safe, and he replied that they were as safe as in the Bank of England, for they were in the lab box of the Stock Exchange. The letters referred to were put in and read. They were to the effect that certain bills of exchange had been pur chased by the prisoner with the !coney given him by the pro. muter. and that • balance of 641. 11.. Bd. was due to Dim upon the Examination continued—On the 14th May the prisoner gave him • written aeknowledemest of the purchase of a 1,0001. exchequer bill to be de:leered on the following day ; and on the 16th May Mr. Boston, the prisoner's clerk, gave him a receipt, by the prisoner's direction, for the sum of 1,7251., which was to be aeeoeeted for on demand. When the prisoner told him that the bills were safe, he replied that he hoped they were. He never saw the prisoner spin until he saw him in Boulogne, and he did not at any time give the =sr authority to sell, treader, or pledge the exchequer Mr. Thomas Brown deposed that he was of the firm of Brown and Co., &Glen in exchequer bills. He was se eainated with the prisoner as a member of the Stock Ex change. On the 15th May his house sold a 1,0001. exche quer • to the prisoner. lie only knew this by a reference to the books. Mr. J. Brown, the son of the last witness, deposed that the entry in the books was his handwriting, and he was cer tain that an exchequer bill for the amount specified was sold either on the 14th or 15th May to the prisoner. The exchequer bill (prodaced) had the name of Nairne upon it, and he had no doubt it was the bill referred to in the entry ia the hook. Oa the 4th of June appeared by another entry ileaemaiiv4eir bills to the amount of 2,2001. had been pur ifier& et Reward Nairn., but he knew nothing of the par- Mohr. of the tranaaetion, or that the prisoner was per sona, concerned in it. The entry appeared to have bees =Mb from a note written by Mr. Becton, the prisoner's oink. Mr. Clarkson, who had taken several objections to the course of examination that was pursued, here objected that what was dose by the prisoner's clerk was not evidence 2'1'1114 the penmen Examination continued—The amount of 2,2001. was paid by a cheque on Roberta and Co. The cheque war produced, and the witness said he should fancy that the name of Nairne which appeared upon it was not the handwriting of the pri soner, and he believed it was that of his clerk Becton. Mr. F. W. Fry, clerk in the banking-hutet of Mews. Stone, Martin, and Co., deposed that the prisoner kept en acconst wile their house, and that the sum of 2,2001. was paid in to his account on the 6th of June last year. The witness then produced a number of cheques drawn by the prisoner subsequent to the sth of June. By Mr. Clarkaon—Witneu could not ray that the prisoner had not a balance of 6,0001. or 6,0001. in his favour on the 6th June. A per-on in his service was authorised to draw cheques. This persona name was Beeten, and the bank would have honoured his drafts the same u the prisoners. lie did not draw in hie own name, but by pro curation far the prisoner. Upon looking et the pass-book he should say, in round numbers, the balance in favour of the prisoner was about 7 0001. By Mr. Bodkin—The amount was relined very rapidly after the 6th of Jane. One cheque wee drawn for 10,0001. By Mr. Clarkson—Could not say whether it was thus re. duced by the cheques of Nte prisoner , or by those of Raton. Mr. Brown, see. was recalled and he stared that the three exchequer billiprodueed of the value of 1,0001.,6001., and 2001, were in the pomeadon of himself and partner on the 6th Jane, and they tonged a per** of the purchase for which Ms clam el MDR was OWL By Mr. Clarkson—Witness had no personal knowledge of the transaction, or of whom there bills were purchased, and all he knew was that the bills came Into their possession on the sth June, and this knowledge was only acquired from the fret of giving a cheque for the amount. By Mr. hid no doubt these bills were in the possession of the Atm. Mr. Justice Pam son—How eau the witness say that, when he admits that he never law the bills ? Mr. Bodkin said he thought he could prove the fact more ' chaffy by 'their testia.ony. Mr. W. Hanby, a gentleman engaged in the Audit-office of the Exchequer, produced an exchequer bill fur 1001, and numbered 6,568, whit', had been paid into the Eschecrier Bill office aed cancelled. He also prut.uced stunner bill for 6001, numbered 423. Mr. C. J. Brown, another partner in the firm of Brown and roved that the 1,0001. bill produced by the leas witness Co., itad passed through their house, and that he Aims- if made an entre of its being sent to the Etch; qu-r Bill office on the sth lane. The note written by Beaton, the clerk to the prisoner, w:s then pat in and read, and from this document it appeared that the 1,0501. exchequer bill formed part of the coaside ra tion fur the 2.2001 that was placed to the prisoner's account by Meters. Brown and Co. Mr. Bodkin having called two other witnesses intimated that this was the case in the prosecution. Mr. Clarkson said that there was a witness of the name of IngaU on the back of the bill, and as he cos.sider d his evidence was material on behalf of the prisoner, he hoped his learned friend would pet him in the box. Mr. Bodkin intimated that he should not call that person Mr. Justice Patteson observed that it was customary, when a witnesee name appeared on the hark of an indict ment, for the counsel for the prosecution, although he did not think it inivisable to examine him himself, to put him in the box, that hr might be examined by the prisoner's coun sel, if he thought proper. Mr. Bodkin said it was, he believed, always considered a matter of discretion, and it appeared to him, in this cue, not advisable to call the person refened to, and he should, therefore, decline to do so. Mr Justice Patteson said, as this was tee case, the coin would call the witness. Charles Henry Ingall was accordingly called, and upon Mr. Bodkin declining to put any questions to him, he was examined by Mr. Clarkson. He deposed that in May and June of lest year he was engaged 111 clerk to the prisoner, and B riots was a fellow clerk, and he used to draw cheques for the prisoner by procuration. He remembered seeing the cheque for 2,2001. iu the beginning of June, but he could not say whether it was shown to him by Beeton or not. He said he knew that Becton sold some Exchequer Bills that were in the strong box, and that Mr. bairns was not in Lon don when the sale took place. He wrote Mr. Dianne's name upon the beck of the cheque, and either gave it to Beaton or paid it into the banker's. Beeton went away the day before the flat of bankruptcy was issued against the prisoner, on the 16th August. By Mr. Bodkin—Mr. Nannies residence was at Richmond. Mr. Clarkson then addresses* the jury, and he commenced by observing that it was a very rcinful duty for him to do so in behalf of a gentleman who had for a great number of years borne the highest character for integrity in the com mercial world, and who now stood before them to answer a charge of this most serious character; end he could not help expressing an opinion that the ease bad been conducted against him in a most scandalous end infamous manner. They were not on the present classics squabbling in a county court about a paltry di ht of forty shillings. but the question was whether or not a gentleman who had hitherto borne an unsullied character had been gu ley of an offence whieh w'.uld subject him to the puni.h'oent of transporta tion ; and yet his learned friend, who, he was sure, had acted from the instructions that were forced upon him, atel not from his own judgment, had refused to call a ',acne who had been examined in behalf of the prosecution before the magistrate, and whose name now appeared on the back at the bill, because it appeared that Du evidence might be favourable to the prisoner. lie considered that the prisoner bed been most unfairly dealt with throughout the tion. When he became a banktupt all his papers were seized, and he was denied sense to eh ne, and he was thus prevented from showing what number of c.equi s had actually been drawn by Beeson, sirteujh the prosecutors were well aware that the prisoner's defence had always been that Beeton was the guilty party. Had the jury any doubt that thin person had at all events a guilty share in the matter, when they sew what his conduct had been? With regard to thi prisoner, it was not enough o ssy that his conduct was suspicious, or that it was very probable he had had some share in the transaction, but the prosecutors were b iund to estaolion his guilt by the el( suet testimony, and it they left VW doubt of the fact, the pri- loner was eati•led to the benefit of it. Breton was autho- rived to draw cheques. Ile had acceu to the strmg box, and it was for them to say whether it was not extremely probable that he had ti posed of the prverty without the ken wkdgt. or sanction of the prisoner ? They Mel heard that one cheque had been strewn for 10,0001., and for all they knew t , . the contrary, this very cheque might have been drawn by Belton, but the prosecutors prevented them from showing that fact by retaining all the chequ , e in their pofsesfion. Mr. Justice Patteson here interfered, and said that before the learned counsel proceeded any farther with his add res-, he should wi•h to ask the witness legal another ques:i,n Of two._ bard' wasaeoordinely recalled, and in answer !o questions put by his lordship, he said that tht. prisoner was at Boulogne when Sat of bankruptcy issued against bin, but he said he only knew this from what Barton told him. The priaoher t'id not come to the office f..r a month before the bankruptcy, but he saw Mtn a wet k before at his house at Riehrcond. By Mr. Bodkin—Witcesev.w t h e prisoner at B ,lo g os. Mr. Bodkin men wished the witness to be asked where he had last seen Beaton, but the learned Judge said that as the ones!ion did not arise out of any of those which he bad himself put, he did not think it ought to be ask -d. Mr. Clarkson, in continuing his address, complained of the conduct of Mr. Bodkin in endeavourin; to strew out a verdict by getting evidence from a witness whom he had be fore rejected as unworthy of belief. Mr. Bodkin said he was surprised that his learned friend should apply such observations to him. They were both an. gentlemanly and uncalled for. Mr. Justice Putteson said he eArtaisly considered they wera uncalled for, and it would have been better if they had not been made. _ _ . . Mr. Clarkson wit he could not help expressing his opinion that the prosecution had been most scandalously and unfairly conducted. . Mr. Bodkin said he was in the bands of the court, and he would put it to them whether this was properlangusge to be made use of. He could only say, in reply to what was stated by Mr. Clarkson, that he considered the cut had been con ducted in a Just proper manner, and if be bad to pros-cute in a similar case the next day,he should do it in precisely the same way. Mr. Clarkson then concluded his address, by repeating some of his previous assertions tending to show that Beeton was actually the guilty p►rty, and that he was alone respon sible, end he argued that as there was no clear evidence that she prisoner was eggnizant of hia proceedings or had suc tioned them in any m , that he was entitled to an ac quittal upon the present charge. Mr. Justice ratteson then summed un, and having re [erred to the statute, and explained to the jury the precis. nature of the charge Niftiest the prisoner, he said that in order to support the indictment the jury must be satisfied that the prisoner was a broker or an agent, and that the property in question had been placed in his possession for • specific purpose, and that he had without authority after wards converted the instrument to his own use. The learned Judge then went through the evidence and said that the material questions for the jury to decide were, whether the exchequer bill in question had been disposed of by the pri soner, or with his sanction. If they believed it had, the cue win made out against him, but if they entertained any doubt upon the subject it would be their duty to acquit him. The jury, after deliberating for a short time in the box, retired, and after being absent a quarter of an hour they returned into court, and gave a verdict of Guilty. Mr. Clarkson requested the court to inquire whether the jury were of opinion that the prisoner had authorised the act of disposing of the property in the brat instance, or whs. titer he merely conearred in it afterwards, as in one view it might afford a point for consideration in the Court of AL PP A Mr. Justice Patteson having put the question to the jury, they replied that they were of opinion that the prisoner both sanctioned the act in the first instance and concurred in it afterwards. Mr. Huddlestone said there were two other indictments against the prisoner of a similar character, one of them having reference to the other exchequer bills that had been mentioned and the second was the case of a clergyman who had placed 1,9001. in the prisoner's bands to invest in Ruesian bonds, the whole of which sum he had appropriated to his own use. He wished to know whether the court considered it necessary to proceed with these indictments ? The learned judges having conferred together, sail they considered it would be more satisfactory that another indict ment should be tried before judgment was pronounced.

The learned judge, having perused the depositions, said he would not take the lad's plea of guilty. Ile had a strong belief that he was prosecuted for the mere purpose of the pawnbroker being compelled to deliver up the watch without payment of the sum advanced upon it.
