rHE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1858. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—(This Day.) (Before Mr. Creasy.) STABBING A FEMALE. Dennis Harrington, who was yesterday convicted of wounding a female, with intent to do grievous bodily harm, was this morning sentenced to 10 months' imprisonment. ROBBING HER MAJESTY• Thomas Sullivan, yesterday, pleaded guilty to stealing 791bs. of lead, the property of her Majesty. It appeared from the statement of the counsel for the prosecution, that the prisoner was in the employ of a Mr. Lock, who was engaged in effecting certain repairs on the roof of Bucking ham Palace, and Clarence House, St. James's, and thus was afforded an opportunity of unlawfully possessing him self of the property. Mr. Creasy sentenced him to six months' imprisonment. previous night, and after sitting there some time were asked by one of the waiters; whether they would take any refresh ment. At first they said they would take some stout, and on being asked, as usual, for the money in advance refused to give it. Theythen called for some coffee, and on its being brought and told it was 6d. a cup, they refused to have it. They were then told by the waiter that they must leave, when they became very violent, the prisoner Parker break ing several flower pots, and tearing the waiter's coat. Amand Fontaine, waiter at the cafe, confirmed the pre vious evidence, and produced his coat, which was torn com pletely in two. He also said the prisoners were asked to leave the room quietly, it being seen they had been drink ing. In his violence Parker broke several flower pots. Parker said they were asked 6d. a cup for coffee, and re fused to pay it. Mr. Beadon said if they went into the place they must pay what was asked. A witness named Pearce was called, but his evidence was not material to the prisoners. Roach was discharged, and Parker ordered to pay 125., the value of the pots, and 75., the damage to the waiter's coat. Immediately after Parker left the court, and while on the landing, one of the officers having requested him to take off his hat, which he had put on before he left the dock, he became very violent, and on Bendall, the assistant gaoler of the court, attempting to remove him, he gave him a severe blow in the face ; and on being brought back and placed before Mr. Beadon, the assault was proved by Bendall and Shillingford, one of the summoning officers of the Court, Mr. Beadon asked him what he had to say to assaulting the officer ? The prisoner said he did nothing of the kind. Mr. Deaden said he would teach him and others that they must not assault the officers of the Court in the perform ance of their duty, and committed him for a month. FOREIGN. MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Very little activity has been apparent during the last few days in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Market. Tea, however, has been rather firmer, and the advices by the Overland Mail has caused an advance of about id. per lb. For sugar there has been a very limited inquiry, and prices have slightly receded. In the refined market business has been on a very limited scale, and reduced rates are current. Coffee is in fair demand, more particularly the better qualities of Plantation Ceylon, which realise fully late quota tions. A verylimited inquiry has been experienced for fruit, and owing to the inferior quality of the late arrivals, prices have shown a downward ten- S dency. Saltpetre continues firm, and transactions Si to some extent have been entered into at full rates. For tallow there is rather more inquiry, especially s , for present delivery, and prices show a slight up- LO Do Ward movement. cock Edinburg and Glasgow.

There was a general meeting of the shareholders of the Namur and Liege Railway Company to-day (Major Parry in the chair), when the amended statutes were submitted to the proprietors for con firmation, in consequence of the disposal of the line to the Great Northern of France Company, the Mons and Menage having been made over to the Belgian Government, by which a fixed dividend is assured to the proprietors. The Market for English Securities continues very quiet; but the quotations, although not buoy ant, are still indicative of firmness. At present, however, speculation is exceedingly dull, as usual; just before the liquidation of the account ; and the • influx of gold, and the satisfactory payment of the commercial engagements due on the 4th, have had no apparent effect. Consols are about 981.-1 for transfer and the 12th inst., and 98,1 for the 18th November. The June Exchequer Bills are marked 255. to 28s. prem. ; East India Deben tures are rather firmer, viz., 991 ; ditto, second issue, are steady, at 991 1.

The necessily for this call arises from the affairs of Macdonald, Monteith, Pattison, and Wallace having turned out much worse than anticipated, and from the large sums consumed in paying interest. The call is payable on the Ist of November. MURDER IN CORNWALL.—On Wednesday last a sailor, named William Price, was committed by the coroner of Falmouth (Mr. Pender) to take his trial for the wilful murder of Hero Ackerman, a German sailor, and five other sailors were committed for trial as accessories. A girl named Amelia Pearce was at a beer-shop called 'the Coach and Horses at Falmouth, on the 25th ult. The girl was in company of the deceased and a comrade, both belonging to the Hanoverian brig Leopold. Some dispute arose between the Germans and a sailor belonging to the Jane Lowden, from Quebec. The latter called five other sailors to his assistance, and the party attacked the Germans in the road, and the deceased was thrown, kicked, and stabbed, so that he died almost immediately. TILE HARTLEY BEQUEST.—NearIy ten years ago a gentleman named Hartley died, and bequeathed, by will, upwards of £lOO,OOO to the corporation of Southampton : to be expended in measures to promote the intellectual im provement of the inhabitants of that town. The will was disputed by distant and dubious relatives of the testator, and litigation has been going on up to the present time in the Court of Chancery. It has ended in a compromise, at the recommendation of the counsel engaged on both sides, and the litigants have withdrawn their claims for £22,500, thus leaving about £78,000 for the corporation • out of that sum, however, the law costs have to be deducted, amount ing to nearly £35,000, and the legacy duty, amounting to nearly £4,500, so that all that remains to carry out the dying wish of the testator is £39,780. Much indignation is felt in Southampton that after the reform of the Curt of Chan cery litigation can last so long there, and its expenses be so enormous. The cost of taxing, that is'reducing, the law chargers wadi nearly 41,000, • . LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS. itaihrays. i raid. Leasing Closing i Business Co.'s. Price. Done.

Fanny Hunt and Ellen M'Carthy, two girls under the age of 16, pleaded. guilty to an indictment, charging them with stealing 305., the property of a charitable institution in which they were residing. The learned judge sentenced them each to two months' imprisonment, with hard labour, at the expimtion of which they were to be sent for four years to a reformatory insti tution. EMBEZZLEMENT. Theodore Richards, a respectably-dressed man, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with embezzling cer tain small sums of money, the property of his employer, Mr. Rebow, a jeweller. A former conviction was proved against him. The prosecutor, in answer to questions from the learned judge, said he had no idea that the prisoner had been in prison previous to entering his employment. Mr. Creasy—Did you take him into your service without making proper inquiries about him? Prosecutor—No, my lord ; I had two recommendations from the country, and a verbal character from two respect able people. One was a person residing in King's-road, Bedford-row, and the other was, I think, the prisoner's brother. Mr. Creasy—Neither of them told you the prisoner had been formerly transported for seven years ? Prosecutor—No, my lord ; one of them told me he had been guilty of certain indiscretions some time ago, but said nothing about his ever having been to prison. Mr. Creasyl think it is your duty, Mr. Rebow, to pro ceed against the parties who gave you the false character. What is the total amount of property you believe the pri soner to have stolen ? Prosecutor—ln goods and money about £3O or MA. I shall use all means in my power to punish the parties who deceived me with respect to the prisoner's chafacter. If I had known his " indiscretion" had been seven years' transportation, I never should have taken him into my service. I thought it was some trifling circumstance, and after taking the advice of my friends, I determined to em ploy him, because I thought it would be the means of affording him a good opportunity of re-establishing his character. Mr. Creasy—Theodore Richards, you have been found guilty of robbing your employer, under aggravated circum stances. First you obtain the situation by means of a false character,' and afterwards you plunder :him of goods to the amount of £3O. As I find you have been previously convicted, the sentence of this Court is that you be kept in penal servitude for ten years. (Before Mr. Payne.) ROBBERY ON TILE NORTII-WESTERN RAILWAY. Jessie Oliver, an engineer, was indicted for stealing a quantity of brass fittings belonging to certain locomotives, the property of the company. James Henderson, a foreman in the locomotive depart ment, said—On the 30th of September he discovered the prisoner in the shed, near the Camden station, and sus pecting he was there for an illegal purpose, gave orders for the doors to be closed, in order to prevent his getting away. While he was dodging about, witness swore he heard Oliver throw certain heavy articles away, which, being picked up, proved to be a part of the brass fittings belonging to some engines in the shed. On being taken into custody, he said he might as well be in prison as walking about starving. He had a wife and children at home in want of bread. Several other witnesses were examined, who spoke to the finding of certain tools in the shed, by which the fittings could be taken off. _ _ _ -- Me prisoner received a good character for honesty. After a short consultation the jury found him guilty, but strongly recommended him to mercy. Mr. Payne said, giving full effect to the recommendation of the jury, he should only sentence the prisoner to three months' imprisonment with hard lahour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—!This Day). BOW-STREET. DESERTING A WIFE AND FAMlLY.—Francis Healey, a man about 40 years :of age, was . this morning placed before Mr. Jardine, charged with deserting his wife and family six years ago. Ruthven, the relieving officer of the Strand Union, said the wife and family of the prisoner had beeen supported by the union for the last six weeks, in consequence of prisoner deserting them, and the way in which he had been discovered was'somewhat curious. It appeared that relative of the prisoner's was one day reading the newspaper, and there ho saw a case in which he Healey was concerned, but on that occasion he used a fictitious name. From the information _ _ . this person gave, the parish authorities thought it their duty to institute a most rigid inquiry, into the whole facts of the case. The prisoner was iden tified as being the man -by the wife's relative at the House of Correction, where it was ascertained he had a term of three months imprisonment to undergo. This sen tence expired this morning, and accordingly the officers awaited his discharge to take him into custody to answer the charge of desertion. They had been looking for the prisoner for the last three years. The wife, a poor, miserable looking woman, with two children, said she worked at the "slop work" for some time after the prisoner left her, and did all that was possible to support her children, but she had been compelled to apply to the parish for relief, in consequence of the work, which was badly paid for, falling off. After the pri soner had been away for some time, she discovered he was living with a prostitute at the other side of the water, and that he had been mainly supported in idleness by this woman. He was a tailor by trade, and if he chose to work he could earn a good living. Prisoner--I was compelled to leave my wife because she drank gin. The Wife—Such a statement is totally untrue. You left me to go to live with another woman in the Blackfriar' s road. After I found out where you were living I applied to you for assistance, but, in order to avoid doing anything towards my support, you left the place, and I have not set eyes on you until to-day. It is six years ago since you left me and your children. Mr. Jardine—What have you to say to the charge ? Prisoner—l left my wife and went to Dublin, because she was in the habit of getting drunk. It is true lam a tailor by trade, but in consequence of my eyesight failing I have not been able to earn any great sum of money, but I am willing to give my wife half of the money I get for the future. Mr. Jardine—l can pay no attention to the promises of a man who runs away from his wife for six years, and leaves her all that time to the mercy and care of others. It is not - so much a case of husband and wife as it is a parochial one. Many, very many, poor people were com pelled to contribute to the poor rate, and it was too bad that money so raised should be expended in keeping the wives and families of every lazy fellow who choose to desert them. The act of Parliament leaves me no discretion, and in accordance with its provisions I shall commit you to prison for three months with hard labour. The prisoner then left the dock, and was conveyed back to the same prison he only left this morning. A FLAT BETWEEN Two SHARPS.—Jane Wilson, a nymph of the pave, was charged with being concerned in robbing a verdant-looking young gentleman, who said he lived a short distance from town, of his watch. The complainant stated that last evening he was accosted by the prisoner and her friend in the Strand, and asked if he was " good natured "—(laughter)—because if he was he would " stand some gin." He told the women he did not drink gin; but after some persuasion he said he would " stand a quartem." They then went into a public-house and had the gin, after which they invited him home to pass the night with them ; but as he had but little money he refused. They kept him in conver sation until they arrived at a narrow court near Temple-bar, when one made a snatch at his gold breast-pin, and the other made off with his watch. He succeeded in detaining the prisoner till the police arrived, but nothing but a few pence were found on her. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said the com plainant met them last evening, and after " standing some gin," strolled along the Strand with herself and friend, when he began to make some very indecent proposals. She certainly asked him to accompany her and her friend home, and as he had no money he promised to make her a present of his breast-pin and all the money he had, which amounted to tenpence. (Laughter.) He stood talking for some time at the end of Shire-lane, and then said one of them had taken his watch and gold pin. Her friend ran away, but the gentleman held her until a constable arrived, when she was taken to the station-house and charged with the robbery. All the property she had that ever belonged to the prisoner was the tenpence he gave her. Mr. Jardine said, if respectable r elple will talk to such persons as the prisoner in the streets, they must put up with the consequences. There was no evidence that the prisoner was the party who had robbed the complainant, and under those circumstances he should order her to be discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET CREATING A DISTURBANCE AT THE CAFE CHANTANT. —ASSAULT ON THE GAOLER OF THE COURT.—Robert Roach, of 10, Gloucester-street, Queen-square, carpenter, and William Parker, of 21, Portland-street, Soho, brick layer, were charged under the following circumstances : Prosper Langrand, manager of the Cafe Chantant, Idgcotor-turare, §aid the prisoners came to the cafe on the THAMES. A NUISANCE IN BROMLEY.—A gentleman, whose name did not transpire, came before Mr. Selfe this morn ing, and stated that in 1843 he erected five substantial brick-built residences and offices in Bromley, near the St. Leonards-road, and let them to very respectable tenants. There was no factory or =ismer near the place whea the prem'ses were erected, but soon afterwerie saw-mills were constructed near his property, and a steam engine, with machinery, erected. The oscillation of the engine was a great nuisance, and the furnace attached had no smoke-consuming apparatus. The consequence was that the property had become greatly depreciated, and he was in danger of losing all his tenants. _ _ Mr. Selfe said that if the property of the applicant was injured by the erection of the saw-mills and engine there was a legal remedy, and with regard to the smoke nuisance recourse must be had to the proper authorities, who would put the law in motion. Inspector Beare, of the K division, said that Mr. Varty, the proprietor of the saw-mills in question, had beenrecently fined £5 fornot using a smoke-consuming apparatus, and the place was now under the observation of the police. The applicant wished the magistrate to give him advice on the subject. Mr. Selfe must decline to be the unpaid adviser of people who could afford to pay a solicitor. _ _ _ The applicant said he had already consulted three solici tors, and among them Messrs. Baker, of Crosby-square, who had entered into negotiations with Mr. Varty to induce him to purchase the property, but without effect, and he was, as a last resource, advised to apply to the magistrate. Mr. Selfe—l wish you had not been advised to do that. You must consult your solicitor again, and speak to the po lice about the smoke nuisance. CAUTION TO FATHERS OF ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN.- Frederick Thomas Elgood, an accountant, of St. Dun stan's-hill, Lower Thames-street, and formerly connected with the firm of Anthony Gibbs and Son, the eminent pro vision merchants, was brought up on a warrant charged with refusing to obey an order of affiliation made upon him for the support of a bastard child. Ellen Daly, a young woman, produced the magistrate's order for the payment by the defendant of 2s. 6d. per week for the support of his bastard child. There was now eight weeks in arrear. Mr. Selfe—He owes M ? Complainant—Yes, sir, he owes me £l. Howland, an officer of the court, 89 H, said he had held the warrant since the 14th of last month. He had been 10 or 12 times to the defendant's residence and offices, but he continually evaded capture, although people were set to watch his dwelling all night. Taplin, another officer of the court, No. 234 K, said that he captured the prisoner on Friday night, and supposing him to be a gentleman, took his word to attond the court on Saturday, but he never came. The defendant said he gave himself up to Howland this morning, and the reason he did not attend on Saturday was that he was trying to raise the money to pay the demand, but was unable to do so. Mr. Selfe—Where do you live ? The defendant—At No. 5, New-terrace, at the back of Le London Hospital. _ _ _ Mr. Selfe—Have you any goods upon which a levy can be made for the amount ? Defendant—No, I have not, sir. Mr. SeHe—Then you are committed to prison for three weeks. The defendant—Will you take part of the money, and the rest a month hence ? Mr. Selfe—No, you must go to prison. The prisoner made an appeal to his wife, a respectable woman, to save him from incarceration ; but she said she had not seen the colour of his money for some time, and would not advance him a farthing. He was then locked up. THE DEAL BOATMEN A meeting of very considerable public interes took place at Deal last week. For some time past the boatmen of the coast, so well known for the daring heroism with which they encounter the perils of the storm, have, from causes beyond their own control, been suffering severe privations. The peculiar character of the mariners, who, while notorious for their straightforwardness and prin ciple, are also remarkable for their reserved bearing not alone to strangers, but even to many of their neighbours, occasioned great doubt in the minds of many how far they were approachable even by those most anxious for their welfare. Not daunted, however, by this prevalent feeling, some gentlemen residing in the vicinity of Deal, who had informed themselves as to the real condition of the boatmen, determined to approach them with the influence of sympathy and kindness. An enter tainment was accordingly arranged for Saturday, to which upwards of 200 of the boatmen were in vited. It was served in a room appropriately decorated, and consisted of tea, with cold viands, and fruit contributed from the gardens of the neighbouring gentry. Mr. Henry Kingscote, of Eaton-place, presided, supported by Lord Marcus Hill, Sir Edmund Filmer, Mr. A. Sandeman (late of New South Wales), the Mayor of Deal, the rector of the parish, and other gentlemen. Each of these in turn addressed the meeting ; but the interest turned mainly upon the response of the mariners to this appeal to the higher and better characteristics of humanity. The invitation had been accepted possibly by many from feelings of curiosity, but after the first expression of surprise had passed, the boatmen appeared to cast aside their habitual restraint, and to receive with perfect good-will and confidence the expressions, which emanated from the speakers, of anxiety for the im provement of their social position. Two of the oldest boatmen addressed the assembly on the part of their fellows, expressing their grate ful sense of the spirit which had prompted the entertainment, and their desire to avail themselves of the opportunity of making their own exertions additionally available for the benefit of themselves and families. On the following day, as a mark of gratitude and respect, and as some acknowledgment of the entertainment, the boats of Deal were decorated by the mariners with all the flags that could be mustered in the town and neigh bourhood. A committee has since been formed for the purpose of taking measures for the permanent relief of the distress which circumstances have occasioned in Deal, and it is hoped that when the facts are made fully known much public sympathy will be excited on behalf of the Deal boatmen.

Gant, one of the surgeons and patho logical anatomist to this hospital, delivered the in troduction to his lectures " On the Application of Pathological Anatomy to Surgical Diagnosis and Operations," in the theatre of the hospital, yester day, to a numerous audience. After a few preliminary remarks, Mr. GANT proceeded to observe that the great end or object of medicine is the cure of disease. To accomplish this object it is necessary to acquire a preliminary knowledge of many branches of science ; but the medical importance of each department of such knowledge should be esti mated by its more or less direct applicability to the art of curing disease. Anatomy may invite by its matchless demonstrations of constructive skill and perfect mechanism—by the endless gradations of structure which the animal kingdom presents, and by the sublime laws of comparative anatomy. Can these dry bones live ? Yes, and physiology may captivate by the history of living beings—by the history of ourselves before birth, through infancy, childhood, adolescence, decripitude, and death. The beauties of botany and the marvels of chemistry may each engage our attention ; and pathology, the science most akin to therapeutics, may claim our special study ; but we are not anatomists or physiologists, or botanists or chemists ; no, nor pathologists alone. We are somewhat of all these professions, and something more—we seek to remove disease. We are physi cians and surgeons, or general practitioners, as the case may be. This object obviously implies the previous detection and discrimination of disease, or the art of diagnosis, which thus lies at the root of practical medicine. It has been said of the practice of medicine without this perceptive power, that nature is fighting with a disease. A blind man armed with a club, that is the physician, comes to settle the difference. He first tries to make peace. When he cannot accomplish this, h 9 lifts his club and strikes at random. If he s t r ike s th e di sease , he kills the disease. If he strikes nature, he kills na ture. The fundamental importance of a correct diagnosis being settled, Mr. Gant proceeded to compare the var'o-ts methods of detecting and dis ingumiling ditimes, and showed that the know ledge of pathological anatomy applied daring life was the surest and safest guide to thig" end. This position was illustrated more especially by a re view of certain diseases of the joints, and by a ge neral survey of medicine and surgery. This method of applying pathological anatomy during life is a new feature in the history of medicine. In con clusion, the lecturer dealt with much warmth and energy on the intellectual and moral aspects of the medical profession, and on its political, social, and domestic relations. The health of nations (he said is the chief source of national wealth. If the hand be feeble, or the mind subdued by disease, we may perchance hold our own, but can scarcely hope to stand in the front rank of the great battle of life. But for mental and physical vigour combined, the very hospital in which we are assembled would long since have been subverted, when its invincible founder went forth with a trowel in one hand and a spear in the other. And as with an indivi dual, so with a nation. The question of progress is very much one of health, and the history of nations is but a chapter in the physiology and pathology of man. Need I say more for the poli tical influence of medicine ? And yet, so regardless has the state hitherto been of her own interests, that only within the last three days in the history of England have we been recognised and protected. I may take this opportunity of recording the fact that much of the reform we now enjoy is due to the untiring exertions of my colleague, Dr. O'Connor. Meanwhile it has been our privilege to see and to relieve more of the sufferings and sorrows of the human race than fall to the lot of any other order of men to witness or remove. In almost the language of Seneca, we invite all, we command all, we recognise neither wealth nor patronage, but accept the man and the slave, the cottager and his lord, the sovereign and the exile. Let us hold fast to our distinctive privilege of detect ing and relieving disease. To this end the resources of pathological anatomy will prove sure and faith ful guides. They will give you confidence, for they will confirm your judgment, they will give you composure and a steady hand ; they will make you happy, for they will make you safe. The lecturer was listened to with marked atten tion, and concluded kis discourse amidst rounds of applause. THIS D.4l'S SHIPPING.

We (Illustrated News) have succeeded in deter ing the name of the proprietor of the best portrait of no less a personage than Oliver Cromwell. Archdeacon Berners had it not ; you have not got it, my Lord Duke of Devon shire ; you have it not, Mr. Norman Wilkinson;• you have it not, Richard Monckton Milnes, Esq., M.P. for Ponte fract. Who, then, has it? We reply, her Majesty. The head of Cromwell (do not talk to us of the Sidney Sussex head or the British Museum head) is the fully finished head, but unfinished body miniature of grand Oliver, done by Cooper, given by poltroon Richard Crom well to his sister, Lady Falconbridge, and by Falconbridge herself to her nearrelation, Sir Thomas Frank land, by whom it was lent to Bernard Lens for the inimit able copy which Lens made for Robert Harley, Earl of Or ford and Mortimer—Harley's smallest title to distinction. This her Majesty has ; the Duke of Portland possesses Lens's copy, dated 1723. A BOY SHOT BY ANOTHER, AT KILBURN. Yesterday information was , forwarded to the Coroner's office of the death of a youth, named George Loch, who died in St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, from severe injuries sus tained by his being shot accidentally by a companion, named Henry Stimpson. The deceased, aged only 14 years, went out with Stimpson to shoot larks at Kilburn, and while so amusing themselves in an enclosure called Kilbirn Park, the gun Stimpson was carrying suddenly went off, t the contents lodging in his companion's thi g h, causing in juries which resulted in death.

JOHNSON WENT TO PRISON.—After Mr. Johnson was locked-up in all at the Mansion house, on Saturday afternoon, whe n he had been sen tenced to a month's hard labour by the Lord Mayor, he bore his reverse of fortune for some time with great calmness and equanimity, the only thing that at all dis turbed him being a doubt as to how he would be provided with his meals, during his term of imprisonment and o akum-picking. After sitting quietly enough for some little time he inquired of one of the officers who went near his cell, whither he would be allowed to provide himself. Being told " No, he would have to submit to ordinary prison fare," he observed quietly, " Oh, very well, it's all the same," and then relapsed into silence. Subsequently he got up a little scene of gaiety, whistling-and singing, his fn - o - cale 11!:i3 Putty Polly Hopkins," and the more appropriate one to his position, waiting as ho was for the prison van, of "Wait for the Waggon," and when the prison van arrived to convey him to Holloway he quitted his cell with a brisk and jaunty air, and stepped blithely into the vehicle, which he quitted in the same manner upon arriving at Holloway. Since he has been there he has dis played a remarkable aptitude for accommodating himself to circumstances, not seeming to care at all for his altered position. There can be no doubt that, his " fit" in the justice-room in the Mansion-house was simulated, as it is now known that ho can exhibit such symptoms when he pleases, and that it has often pleased him to do so. It may be mentioned that Johnson is 73 years old, although in appearance he deo net exceed 65. BANK RETURAW.
