The accounts received from the various manu facturing districts are of a satisfactory character. The iron trade of South Staffordshire has not been active, but stocks in the hands of dealers are light, and there is every prospect of a speedy revival of business. In Birmingham the hardware trade has shown symptoms of improvement, and in most of the fancy trades of the district there has been more activity than for some time past. The woollen cloth trade at Leeds had exhibited increased activity, and large dealings have been entered into in both heavy and light fabrics. The demand for cloths suitable for China has been exceedingly active. Prices were firm, and owing to the upward tendency of the raw material there was every prospect of an advance in values. At Bradford wools of all descriptions were at full - values, and a fair amount of business has been done in piece goods. Most of the mills in the neighbourhood were working full time, and the operatives were well employed. - Worsted yarns were in increased demand, and at rather higher rates. Business at Manchester continued very active, and the advance noticed in our last report has been fully maintained. The demand for cloths suitable to the Indian and Chinese mar kets has been active, and a considerable amount of business has been done in goods suitable to the American markets. The hosiery business at Lei cester continues active. Stocks are generally very low, and the demand for home consumption shows a satisfactory increase. At Nottingham more acti vity has prevailed, the lace trade indicating an improvement. The hardware and cutlery trades at Wolverhampton and Sheffield continue mode rate, the demand being chiefly for the American and German markets. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, on Saturday, a moderate business was transacted, at previous rates. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed firmly, and prices tended upwards. Beyond an occasional change of 4- or 1 per cent. in the terms of accommodation, and a little increase or diminution in the demand, the general position of the Money Market is perfectly undisturbed. The periodical instalments on account of loans, and the monthly commercial payments, combine to stimulate the inquiry for discount whenever they have to be completed, but the effect is transi tory, and monetary affairs quickly settle down into their previously quiet condition. It is not supposed that the engagements having to be provided for during the remainder of the year, although numerous and extensive, requiring in the aggregate several millions sterling, will create the slightest degree of stringency, and indeed the balance of opinion is on the contrary, or rather in favour of continued easiness and abundance. Some go as far as to contemplate a reduction, owing to the rapid accumulation of specie, and the improbability of any sudden return of pressure that would necessitate the reversal of that measure if adopted. The impression, moreover, is strengthened by the fact that the position of the establishment is nearly, if not quite equal to, what it has been on former occasions, when the minimum has been adjusted at 21 per cent. The specie arrivals announced to-day comprise £20,250 by the Canada, and £17,500 by the City of Baltimore, both from the United States. There is still an absence of activity in Stock Ex change circles, and the business of the week has commenced with a very dull appearance. The settlement in the New Turkish scrip to-morrow, and the payment of the Indian Loan instalment, are chief objects of attention to-day. With regard to the latter, however, it is supposed that the nume rous subscriptions made in anticipation when the last payment was made, will render the present operation of comparatively little importance. The market for Public Securities opened with dull appearance, and prices were a shade flatter, but increased firmness is now visible, and the ten dency is upwards. There can be no doubt that the present position of monetary affairs, especially as regards the specie movement, will force values still higher, unless some unfavourable contingency should occur to create uneasiness. Consols have been 971 1 for money, and 971 for account. They are now 97 and 97t- 1 respectively. The New 21 per Cents. are 81 82 ; India Deben tures, 981 ; the June Exchequer Bills, 245. to 255. prem ; and the March ditto, 355. to 375. prem. ; India Stock is 216 to 2161. A fair amount of business has been recorded in the Foreign Market. Turkish Scrip dropped to 1 dis. to par ; the Old 6 per Cents. are 961 97 ; and the 4 per Cents., 1041 ; Venezuelan Bonds have risen to 401 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., Deferred, 29U ; Russian 4 per Cents., 1001; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 911 92 ; and Buenos Ayres, 78. Business in the Railway Share Market this morn ing has been moderately active, but prices have been flat, a decline of about 1 to 1 per cent. having taken place in most of the principal lines. Caledo nians, Eastern Counties, Great Northerns, Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, North British and North Eastern (Berwick), declined 55., Great Western and Midland, 10s., and North-Western and South-Eastern, 10s. to 15s. The Foreign and Colonial lines have been rather firmer. Paris and Lyons improved 10s. ; and Grand Trunk of Canada, ss. ; Great Western of Canada and East Indian have been at about previous values. Joint Stock Bank Shares have shown a further depression.' Bank of Australasia have receded 10s., London and Westminster, 55., Ottoman Bank, 10s., Union of Australia, 10s., and Union of London about 55. In the Miscellaneous Market the transactions have been unimportant, and prices are almost nominal. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. 3 per Cent. Consols Annv;ties New 21 per Cent.

An ample pro gramme was provided ; all tastes, in fact, were suited, from those who loved wrestling and boisterous sports in the grounds to those of the large majority that thronged the centre transept to listen to Clara Novalo's rich, clear notes. The day, fortunately, was a very fine one, so that on this occasion at least no hindrance took place from the weather, and the out-door sports, such as they were, came off well. Messrs. Denistoun, who suspended in November last, in consequence of the American failures, with liabili ties of £2,143,000, and who subsequently arranged to pay in full by six instalments terminating on the 30th of June, 1860, of which they have already anticipated, have given notice that they will be prepared on Tuesday next to dis charge that which would fall due on the 30th of June, 1859. There will consequently remain to be met only two instalments of 4s. each, Of the liabilities in connection with their Australian house only one instalment of ss. in the pound remained unpaid, MA this Messrs, Doniatounaro now prepared to discharge.

Barley and other produce have realised very full currencies. In the United States the markets generally have shown leis firm ness. About average supplies of home-grown produce were re ceived up to our market last week. From abroad the imports were very moderate, viz... -6,120 qrs. of wheat, 9,834 barley, 28,931 oats; oats, 2,132 beans, 500 peas, 5 tares 4 linseed, 636 rapeseed, 4 mustard seed, 50 sundry seeds, and 134 sacks and 2,106 brie. of flour. Fresh up, to-day, from Essex and Kent, coastwise and by land carriage, only a moderate supply of wheat came to hand.. Notwithstanding that, the show of samples, both red and white was rather limited for the time of year, millers purchased cautiously, and the demands for all kinds ruled very inactive, at a decline in the quotations realised on this day se'nnight of from Is. to 2s. per quarter, and at which some difficulty was experienced in effecting sales. We were well supplied with nearly all kinds of foreign wheat. Even the finest samples met a very dull inquiry, and the quotations were almost nominal. Inferior samples wore offering at fully ls. per quarter less money. Floating cargoes of grain, off Falmouth, ware a dull inquiry. _ . _ English barley, the show of which was limited, sold at full prices ; but foreign !qualities were dull, at barely late rates. There was a moderate business doing in malt, at last week's currency. _ _ There was a moderate inquiry for most kinds of oats, at last week's quotations. _ Beans sold to a moderate extent, at late currencies. Maple and grey peas supported former terms ; but White parcels were rather cheaper. _ . For flour, the demaud ruled heavy, and prices were a shade lower than last week. BRITISH MINES.

In the midland counties, too, food is scarce. Compared with Monday last the show of foreign stock in to-day's market wail only moderate, but its general quality was very inferior. From our own grazing districts about an average time of-year supply of beasts came to hand in middling condition. Althqugh there was no life in the trade a fair amount of business was transacted in moat breeds at full prices—the primest Scots having realised 4s 10d per 81bs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to about 1,800 short horns; from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds ; from Scotland, 35 Scots ; and from Ireland, 720 oxen, &c. We were again .but moderately supplied with English sheep. Prime Downs sold steadily at 4a 10d to 5s per 81bs, and the value of half-breds was well supported. Other breeds moved off slowly on former terms. About 1,200 Irish sheep were on show, and some of these realised 54s to 56s each. The show of calves was limited, and the veal trade ruled firm. In some instances prices were the turn higher—the top quotation being 40 10d per 81bs. For pigs—the supply of which was tolerably good—there was a steady inquiry, at full prices.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF FORGERY.-SINGULAR CASE. John Rayner, of 11, Swan-place, Newington, office boy, and Theophulus Cooper, of 11, Hampton-street, Walworth, advertising agent, were placed at the bar before Mr. Bea don, charged.with forging a cheque for 125 on the Western Bank of London, Hanover-square. Mr. H. W. Herbert, cashier of the Western Bank of London, said—l produce a cheque purporting to be drawn by F. J. Montgomery, in favour of the Military Spectator or bearer, dated the 10th of September, for £25. It was presented that day week by a lad named Samuel Barry Barnard, now present, but there being no one of the name the cheque was not cashed. It was one of the printed forms. The regiment to which Captain Montgomery be longed did not bank with the Western Bank of London. Samuel Henry Barnard, 4, John-street, Camber Well, in the employ of Mr. Wilmot, manager of the Military Spec tator, 11, Wellington-street, Strand, said—l received the cheque from Mr. Wilmot to present it at the bank, when payment was re:ased. I know the prisoner Rayner, who is employed at the office. He once showed me a blank cheque, torn from a book. Cross-examined by a solicitor—He said he had found the cheque with some letters in the editor's box. There was no writing on it. Mr. Cleveland Wilmot said—l reside in Camberwell, and am manager of the Military Spectator. The prisoner Cooper was formerly a clerk in the office, and discharged in February last. I received the cheque produced between five and six on Saturday afternoon week through the post. I found the envelope which had contained the cheque where letters were usually put. The envelope contained besides a printed order for the supply of the journal, three names for £25, entitling the persons to the paper so long as they lived, or the paper existed. The name of " Montgomery" was one of the names. I sent my lad to the bank, and he told me payment was refused. The solicitor on behalf of the prisoners addressed the magistrate at some length, contending the whole affair was nothing more than a ridiculous hoax, as the prisoners would not have derived the slightest benefit from what they had done—the only person who could possibly have benefited being Mr. Wilmot. There was no intention to defraud the bank, and his clients were very respectable. Mr. Wilmot recalled, said he believed now that it was done to hoax him. Mr. Beadon said it was a most outrageous act for the prisoners to have been guilty of, especially in a commercial country like this. Had the bank wished to have pressed the case, he should certainly have sent them fo- trial. He considered they had disgraced themselves for life.—Dis charged. THAMES. SCANDALOUS ANNOYANCE.—THE :DANGER OF PROSE CUTING OFFENDERS.—SUSaII MOITCII, a common prosti tute, and George Sapsworth, a boy about 14 years of age, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with creating a dis turbance and throwing stones in a street called St. Thomas road, Stepney. The prosecutor in this case is Mr. Billbrow, a builder, of 20, St. Thomas•road, who prosecuted five boys for robbing him a few weeks ago, and who were sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. Since then he has been most unjustly persecuted and continually annoyed by disorderly people who sympathise with crime and plunder. Yesterday afternoon the prisoners began throwing stones at his house and into his passage, and when he made his appearance they threw stones at him. The prisoner Morrell was running about the streets in a state of great excitement and - very drunk, urging the people to stone Mr.--Billbrow, and drag him out of his house. The woman, in her defence, said that the prosecutor set dogs at the boys and girls passing along the street, and that many were bitten.. People had applied to his Worship that morning for summonses against Billbrow. Mr. Solfe—l have granted one summons against the prosecutor for setting a dog at a boy. He is not, however, to be hunted down for prosecuting thieves. He did his duty in that respect and must be protected. Mr. Billbrow denied that he had set a dog at any one, and that he was annoyed and persecuted because he brought thieves to justice. Mr. SeHe—You are a very unfortunate man ; you are very often here. Mr. Billbrow—This is the cnly place I can come to for redress. I was never annoyed until I prosecuted five boys for robbery. A police constable, No. 475 K, stated that a mob of 200 persons were collected in and near the prosecutor's house shouting, hallooing, and using bad language. The woman Morrell, 'who was one of the most infamous and disorderly women in the district, was bawling loudly and running about the streets. Mr. Selfe—She has been here before ? Witness—She has, sir ; she has been committed to prison several times. Mr. Selfe—And the boy has been here before ? Sapsworth (crying)—Only for a few sweets. Mr. Selfe—Yes ; for stealing sweetmeats. Go about your.business, and don't get into trouble again. The woman is sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonment and hard labour. THIS DAJ'S SHIPPING.

LAO - IN SHERIFFS' COURT THE TIPPLING ACT. In reference to a case bearing this head, reported in this journal on Friday, a morning paper having passed some severe strictures upon the judge for his decision, our re porter has been requested to point out that his honour had no alternative, but was bound by the act to strike out the items prohibited, as represented in our report. Now the writer of the article has displayed a lamentable ignorance of the law; for the Act 24 Geo. 2nd, chap. 40, sec. 12, dis tinctly and imperatively lays down that " that no person shall sue or recover a debt due for spirituous liquors sup plied in less quantities than 20s. at one time." Nay, the act even goes further, and says that "a bill of exchange given for spirits, or a portion of which relates to spirits supplied in less quantities than 205., shall be void, or such portions deducted." Our reporter has been requested to state this as the condemnatory article is calculated to lead publicans and others astray. CRIMINAL CO URT--( THIS DA L) 1 1 H11- 1) EDI T I ON.

Carden), Aldermen Gabriel, Lawrence, and Salomons, and the Sheriffs. The calender contains the names of about 160 persons, and the offences with which they are charged are of the ordinary description. During the swearing of tho grand jury a gentleman of the Hebrew religion rose and took up the Bible, next to him stood a gentleman of the Protestant faith, and upon the chief usher repeating the words of the oath he, at its conclusion, altered the termination only in the usual man ner by saying " So help you Jehovah," upon which the Jewish gentleman kissed the book. The Lord Mayor—l think that a very improper way to administer the oath, it is disrespectful to both parties. The oath ought to be repeated separately. The Usher—lt is the way it has always been done, my lord. The Lord Mayor—That does not alter the matter. I think the whole of the words ought to be repeated, and not merely the last sentence, " So help you Jehovah." Alderman Salomons—The oath as it stands needs no alteration. It is equally binding one way as the other. The Lord Mayor, addressing the juror—Do you consider the usual form of the oath as binding as the alteration just made P The juror—Yes, certainly, my lord. The Lord Mayor—Then, for the future, I see no reason why the form of the oath should be altered. The remainder of the jurors having been sworn, The Recorder then addressed the grand jury. He said, that although a great many cases appeared in the calendar, they were not calculated to call for any special remark on his part, or to occasion any great trouble to them in the discharge of their duty. It was, however, a very serious circumstance to find that above one-fourth of the persons mentioned were charged with uttering counterfeit coin, and he noticed this circumstance in order that public attention might be drawn to the fact. It was a curious thing that persons to whom the counterfeit coin was tendered never tested the spurious money in the presence of the customer, but immediately after the person had left the shop and got into the street the coin was tested and discovered to be bad, and great difficulty was after wards occasioned in securing the offender. If, when there was a doubt about the genuinenesss of any money it was submitted to a test in the ,'presence of the party great loss amongst the poorer shopkeepers, who were generally those upon whom the fraud was perpetrated, would be prevented, and this course would, he felt assured, put down, or to a certain extent greatly mitigate, the evil which had now arrived at so great a height. The only case to which he need call attention was one of manslaughter. Henry Lamb stood charged with that offence, and the grand jury would have to ascertain whether death had been caused by his negligence. It appeared that the prisoner was a pointsman on a railway, and it was his duty to see that the points were properly arranged, so that two different sets of engines might pass on their re spective journeys in safety. On the occasion of the acci dent it appeared that the points were open instead of locked, and the consequence was that the train ran on a wrong line of rails, and the carriages came into collision with some luggage vans, and the death of the engine-driver of the train was thereby occasioned. The only duty that devolved upon the grand jury was to ascertain whether the death of the man was occasioned by the collision, and whether that collision was caused through the prisoner's negligence. It appeared that there was a white mark upon certain of the engines, to indicate to which line of rails the trains were to be transferred, and this mark, it was said, could be seen by the pointsman 400 yards off; but as there was some difference about the state of the weather, which, it wls said, rendered the mark very indistinct, the jury could return a true bill if they thought there was sufficient evidence, and thereby give the prisoner an opportunity of showing that the death of the man was not owing to his neglect. There was one charge of murder, but it appeared that the depositions had not been returnedi- and therefore it called for no remark. If any unforeseen difficulty should arise to any gentleman on the jury the presiding judge would give them every assistance. The grand jury then retired to their room. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. A waterman, named Cole, aged 28, was indicted for high way robbery. Mr. Best appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner was undefended. Richard Bannam said on the 13th of July he met the pri soner and some other parties, at the Admiral Kepple pub lic-house, and having entered into conversation with the parties, he (witness) took out his porte-monnaie, contain ing a sovereign and some silver, to pay for some beer. After the liquor had been drunk he left the house, but was followed by the prisoner and four other persons. When he got to Battersea-park the whole of the party surrounded him, and Cole seized him in front, while a man named Brown and two women meettred him behind. They tore the whole of the front part of his dress open, and turned his pockets inside out, but did not succeed in getting posses sion of the purse, as he (witness) held it in his hand. On this being discovered the attempt to gain possession of it was redoubled ; but on assistance arriving, Brown and the women were secured, but the prisoner escaped. Brown had been already convicted, but the prisoner had not been dis covered until a few days ago. Henry Ward, one of the keepers of Battersea-park, said that on the 13th of July last he recollected going to the as sistance of the prosecutor. He saw Brown and Cole trying to overpower another man, who was lying on his back. He went up to render assistance, and succeeded in taking Brown to the station, but Cole escaped. The prosecutor had been drinking, but he knew well what he was doing. The prisoner asked the witness if ho was sure he was the person he saw in Battersea Park on the evening of the rob bery, and he said he was certain be was the same party. Sergeant Huddy, of the Metropolitan police, said he took the prisoner into custody on the 31st of August last at Sheerness. He was working in the Dockyard. On being told that he was charged with having committed a highway robbery, he said, " It's all right, I have been drawn into it by bad company. lam sorry for it." In answer to the charge the prisoner put in a written defence, in which he stated he never intended to rob the prosecutor—that the whole of the thing was a lark which the prosecutor well knew. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the learned Recorder sentenced him to two years' imprisonment with hard labour. WAREHOUSE ROBBERY.—Thomas Jones, a respectably dressed man, was indicted with stealing a bale of goods, the property of Messrs. Tweedale, of Wood Street, Cheap side. Mr. Cooper appeared for the prosecutor, and Mr. Met calf defended the prisoner. Thomas Huddle (City police) said a few days ago he saw the prisoner carrying a bale of goods. He asked where he had got it from. He said from Wood Street, and that a man had given him the parcel to carry. Not being satis fied with the account given, he took the prisoner to the station, and there, on being opened, it was found to con • tain the articles mentioned in the indictment. William Leonard, porter to Messrs. Tweedsle, of Wood street, said the bale of goods was safe in their yard on the 10th inst. It had been received but a short time before it was stolen. It was marked was the name of the firm. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment, with hard labour. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) WATCH ROBBERY. Francis Duffy, a sharp-looking lad, about 16 years of age was indicted for stealing a watch from Robert Smith, a labouring man• The prosecutor said on the 11th of Augat last, he having some clothes to sell went into the City to do so. Not having succeeded in disposing of them, he entered a public house in Houndsditch, when the prisoner and some other men entered and began to talk about skittle-playing. It was arranged to play some games, and the prosecutor was asked to go and " see fair." He did so. After being in the skittle ground a short time he lost his bundle of clothes. Ho began to make a noise about his loss, when some one gave him some beer, and immediately afterwards he became quite stupefied. After remaining a short time longer in the beershop he quitted the place with the ;intention of going home, but after getting a short distance he suddenly felt some body put his hand round him from behind, and snatch away hie watch. He looked round, and saw the prisoner muting away. He was certain he was the boy, as he had r.a good opportunity of becoming ac quainted with him v.chen they were in the skittle-ground. A constable named Watkins said that from the descrip tion given to him by the prosecutor he took the prisoner into custody. On searching him at the station, a thimble rig apparatus was found in his pocket. The prisoner, in his defence, strongly denied the charge, and said the man had madc; a mistake. Tho jury returned a yen diet of , guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to six re , onths' imprisonment, with hard abour. DEEP SEA TELEGRAPH. The last failure of the Atlantic Telegraph has naturally given rise to a variety of controversies as to the cause of the break down in the undertaking. Several confident opinions have been broached upon the subject as well by nautical as scientific men, but it yet remains to be ascertained where the real fault lies. Mr. William Rowett of Leadenhall street, a gentleman of considerable nautical experi ence, has all along predicted that an iron cal* would be found inapplicable to deep sea telegraphs, and he now insists that some portion of the Atlan tic cable has been destroyed by its own weight, or by the action of the sea. He suggests a number of objections to the use of a metal covering in laying down deep sea telegraphs ; the most potent of theta all is that when it gets overstrained the tension extends to the electric wire, and he believes that to some such mishap must be attributed the recent stoppage in the electric currents between Valentia and Newfoundland. The cable he would apply to the purpose should be composed of hemp, and he has invented a cable made of that material which he contends is free from the objections that an iron cable is open to. In the first place a hemp cable could be payed out with the utmost ease, and would not be liable to accident from straining ; because the hemp would give with the strain, while the strain would be confined to the cable itself, and would not extend to the electric wire which it con tained. Moreover, when the strain or pressure ceased, a hemp cable would compress or contract itself, whereas when once an iron cable is twisted, or bent, or expanded, it never returns to its former condition. Besides iron is far more liable to cor rupting influences than hemp, while submerged ; indeed experience proves that sea water preserves roping where it corrodes or destroys metal, and that circumstance affords another strong reason for pre ' ferring hemp to iron in laying down deep sea tele graphs. On Saturday a number of scientific and naval gentlemen met at Mr. Rowett's offices, to in spect a specimen of this hemp cable, and hear ita advantages explained. The sample produced weighs about half a ton to the mile, and in paying out the strain upon it would be at the rate of 251115. to tho mile ; but Mr. Rowett explained that both the weight and the specific gravity could be increased to any extent—another advantage which hemp has over iron. It could be so made as to require a day or a week to sink it, and eminent scientific authori ties are of opinion that the Atlantic telegraph can only succeed with the aid of a cable so light and flexible that it will require some considerable time to elapse before it finds its level. An objection was raised that a hemp cable would be liable to perish from the influence of the water ; but Mr. Rowlett anticipates that eventually, by submitting his cable to a mineral preparation that enters into chemical combination with the fibres of the hemp and renders it permanently impervious to the actions of animalcules or other perishable influences. It has, moreover, the strong recommendation of economy. It could be laid down for £B6 per mile, and foul weather would not impede its progreil. It has been offered to the Atlantic Telegraph Com pany ; but, unfortunately, supposing they approved of it, they can only answer, "We have spent all our money." THE DEFALCATIONS OF AN INCOME TAX COLLECTOR. On Saturday , an application was made to the magistrates at Richmond, Surrey, sitting in Petty Sessions, in the interest of Mr. Henry Burbridgo, lately a collector of income tax for the parish of Richmond, who has been confined in Horsemonger lane Gaol the greater part of a year awaiting his trial on a charge of obtaining various sums of money in the shape of property tax, with intent to cheat and defraud. The prisoner, it appears, was arrested early in December at the instance of the Board of Inland Revenue on an affidavit of Mr. J. C. Sells, the Surveyor of Taxes for the Kingston District, which includes Richmond, in respect of defalcations amounting, as alleged, to £713 6s. The prisoner was collector of income tax for Rich mond for the years 1856 and 1857, and had received large sums for the following year without being appointed the collector, and which parties had to pay over again. The £713 Os. which he is charged with appropriating to his own use, includes £438 Bs. 5d., admitted by himself to be the amount of his defalcations for 1856-7, and £356 which he is alleged to have received in 1857-8, under the pretence of being the collector, when he was net so in fact, making together £794 Bs. 5d., from which he claimed to deduct £Bl odd, stated by him to have been paid to the credit of assessed taxes for 1856-7 for persons who after wards became defaulters to that amount. It seemed that the Commissioners of Inland Revenue in the first instance treated the prisoner simply as a debtor, and on that view of the case his furniture was sold in part satisfaction of the claim against him by the Crown. Subsequently a different con struction was put upon his conduct, and he is now awaiting his trial on the criminal charge. He ac tually ceased to be the collector in March, 1857, but,,the collectors being annually appointed towards the end of December, he continued collecting until the 10th of that month, expecting, as a matter of course, to be re-appointed. He admitted having received the £356, in respect of 1857-8, irregularly, in that he was not actually sworn in as the col lector; but contended that the commissioners having allowed him to continue collecting, and afterwards sold his goods in part payment of his deficiencies, the offence of collecting in that year was condoned. The contention of the prisoner also was, with re spect to his remaining defalcations, after excluding the £356, that he had been originally treated as a debtor by the Crown. This is a short summary of the facts as elicited at previous hearings before the magistrates, which ended in the prisoner being committed for trial, and at the Petty Sessions at Richmond on Saturday, held before Mr. Penrhyn (chairman), Sir T. Reeve, Mr. W. Gilpin, and Mr. H. C. Lacy, his professional adviser, Mr. all, com plained that the copy of the deposition en bs fore the magistrates, which had been supplied to the prisoner at his request to assist him in per et ing for his defence was imperfect in several portant respects, and especially that it did not- - ew tain facts favourable to the prisoner, elicited on the cross-examination of Mr. Sells, on whose affidavit the prisoner was arrested on the 16th of December. He contended, in fact, that the depositions had been falsified. He also complained that the Soli citor to the office of Inland Revenue persisted in refusing to furnish papers which he had received notice to produce on the prisoner's trial, and which were calculated to place the matter in a light favourable to the prisoner. Mr. Smith, the elerlF to the magistrates, emphatically denied the impu tation that he had falsified any part of the deposi tions. A great part of the statements given in evidence were irrelevant, and these he said he had excluded on that ground from the depositions. The bench told Mr. Hall that whatever omissions might have been made in the depositions taken on the preliminary hearings would not prejuduce Mr. Burbridge on his trial, inasmuch as he could produce what evidence he pleased in his defence ; and Sir Thomas Reeve, one of the magistrates, added that Mr. Jacobs, of the Inland Revenue office, had repeatedly stated that Mr. Hall had asked him to produce papers on the prisoner's trial which had, in fact, no existence.
