Bunnows and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun tries, as the increasing Patronage of the highest families in the had is a sufficient guarantee. They beg to call particular attention to their pure Tonic Wines, as being so valuable to Invalids and persons of weak stomachs. A sample ease, containing three full-sized wine bottles, Will be forwarded to any address on receipt of P. 0.0. for Os. 6d., or a dozen for 245.

Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most essential to in valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from the homes of the weak and sickly. Its properties are duly acknowledged and appreciated by the leading men of the faculty, both at home and abroad. To prevent imposition each bottle is sealed with the name of the firm.

LIVINGSTON'S EXPLORATIONS IN THE INTERIOR OF Araks. —The indefatigable researches of Dr. Livingston hays suddenly made us accquainted with one of the happiest People in the world, of whose very existence little Was hitherto known in civilised Europe generally. — The province of Angola, Dr. Livingston writes in the "Jour nal of the Royal Geoeraphieal Society," possesses great fer tility and beauty, and its capabilities, both agriculturally and commercially, are of a very high order indeed, I do not fear contradiction in asserting it to be the richest in Western Africa The great scientific traveller, who spent 16 years among this favoured people, has had ample opportunity of Itudying their physical and moral condition, and his details are most curious, They appear indeed to enjoy an Elysian felieity, requiring neither physic nor the physician, for Dr. Livingston found their staff of life to be the Revalenta Ara- Mee Food, which keeps them perfectly free from disease, " con eamption, scrofula, cancer, dco., being scarcely heard of, and the small-pox and measles have not been known for twenty years.' In England also the Revalenta Arabica has produced a wonderful improvement in the health of the people, remov ing cough, consumption, asthma, debility, indigestion (dys pepsia). constipation, nervous, bilious, and liver complaints, and restoring the faculty of digestion, and nervous and mus elder energy to the most enfeebled, as proved by testimonials from the tinny thousand well known individuals, whose health has been restored by this useful and economical diet, after all other means of cure had been tried i n va i n f or many years, and all hopes of recovery abandoned. We extract a few expressions of gratitude from invalids thus cured.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the nrivate study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

Your attention is directed to the following Extracts from the Letter of G. P. Bidder, Esq., addressed to the Direc tors : "Amid the general prosperity of the Railway system, your Line, since your change of management and policy in 1856, has net only remained stationary,—it has absolutely RETRO GRADED." The following figures, as afforded by Mr. Bidder, show the condition of the Line under the raspectiTe manage ments: OF MR. WADDINGTON. 140. OF MR. LOVE. 1858.

"Had the trains and fares upon the Eastern Counties re mained in 1858 as they were in 1856, it might have been ex pected, in proportion to the increase then accruing, thaLin 1858, not less than 8,000,000 of passengers would have passed over the system, instead of the diminished number of 6,294.4C0.

' aid securing their own safety —some of the most timid proposing the abandonment of Cawnpore, the falling back on Futtegurh, and the conjunction of their force with that of the rebel Nawab there. Some suggested making a stand at Bithoor, while others, either more conrageous or desperate, advised the casting all "on a die," and fighting it out at Cawnpore. Yet, notwithstanding all felt that their hour had well nigh come, and that shortly a stern retribution would be exacted for the innocent blood already so wantonly shed, such was the fear of detection (by the many who had aided and abet ted their chief, through their recognition by the prisoners, particularly such of them as Mrs. Green way and other old residents of Cawnpore, that no fear of consequence could stay them from further imbruing their hands in the blood of women and children, deeming that thus they secured themselves from further detection—especially those who had, even at that early stage, resolved, should things continue to go against the rebel faction, they would change sides ; and, if the evidence recorded be true, many of those present at that council are now again in Government employ. Much valuable evidence yet remains nu taken. A careful investigation of all procurable would, we think, beyond doubt, impli cate many at present supposed to be free from the mutiny. Adla, by birth and profession a courtesan, born at Mugrassa, resided with the Nana from 1850 and from receiving 200 rs per month, and becoming a favourite, was, it is said, endowed with the jewels belonging to the widows of the late Peshwa, valued at 50,000r5. On the Nana's flight from Bithoor she was sent in a boat some distance up the river; but, returning to Cawnpore in August, 1857, was secreted in a house in the Butcher-khana, went thence to Misreepore, Zillah Humeerpore, and is now said to be at Mtigrassa, near Cawnpore, under the care of a man named Mundhoo, having pro mised, she states, to await one year at Cawnpore the return of the Nana to that station. The sister of Mundoo, named Kareena, resides with Oojagur Debey, of Dahaby Zillah, Cawnpore, and the jewels are said to be secreted in his house. The girl, called the Begum, who attended on the prisoners is one of four slave girls bought by the Peshwa, and named Hossanee Khanum. She, it is said, carried the order for the massacre of the prisoners to the sepoy guard placed over them ; and, on their re fusing to execute it, returned and fetched five men of the Nana's own guard, one of whom was her lover, Sirdar Khan. There is evidence also of the wife of the toll-keeper at Sheorajpore, who was spared at the intercession of the widows of Bajee Rao, and was delivered of a child at Bithoor, being alive on the 17th of July, two days subsequent to , the murder of the prisoners. On the N ana's flight, however, from Bithoor, on the afternoon of the 17th, he ordered her and the child to be killed. REPORT.

The following memorandum upon the events con nected with the Cawnpore mutiny and massacre has been prepared by Lieutenant-Colonel Williams, Military Secretary to Government in the North- W‘stern Provinces : Forty-two depositions from persons of all classes and creeds—Christians, Mahomedans, and Hindoos —have been recorded, and valuable evidence ob tained from respectable and influential residents in the city. These depositions, together with the native journal of a city resident, have been translated and relate the first attempts made by the Nana to tamper with the troops, his ready success, the earliest meeting held by the conspirators, and their proceedings ou and subsequent to their mutiny, from the Ist of June to the advance of the British force in July. The evidence shows the Nana's brother, Bala Sahib, to have taken as (if not more) active and prominent a part as even the Nana himself. There are no trace of any conspiracy prior to the arrival of the Nana at Cawnporeou the 22d of May, 1857, with the two:guns and 300 harsetend foot, for the avowed purpose of aiding in the maintenance of order. But about that time it would seem that two Sowars—the one named Eahem Khan, of Bishenpore, near Bithoor, the other Muddut Alee, of Banda, and in the service of the Nana—wereem ployed by Bala Sahib to corrupt the fidelity of the tr,tops. The 2d Cavalry, already ripe for mutiny, neeJed but little persuasion, Soabadar Tecka Singh, Havildar•MPior Gopal Singh, and Sowers Shumsh-ood-deen-Khan, Sheik Boolakie, Sirdar Beg, and Rai Singh, are said to have taken the lead among them ; and at dusk on the evening of the Ist of June met the Nana and Bala Sahib at Manjhee ghat, where they had a consultation is a boat that lasted two hours. Upon this fact being brought to the notice of the magistrate, the Nana plausibly accounted for it by stating it to have been held for the adoption of measures that should keep the troops firm aad loyal; whereas on the succeed ing day Sowar Shumsh-ood-deen Khan, with two or three others of the 2d Cavalry, while drink ing in the house of a prostitute named Aze zun, informed her that in a few days the Peshwa's rule would be proclaimed and the Nana paramount at Cawnpore, when they would fill her houses, not with rupees merely, but with gold mohurs. The depositions of those attached to the 53d and 56th Native Infantry give a clear account o f th e out break on the 4th of June and the events in the in trenchments. After the mutiny of the 2d Cavalry and Ist Native Infantry, on the morning of the sth of June, a Sowar of the former and a native officer of the latter corps were sent to the Nana to offer him the alternative of a kingdom, if he joined their (the rebel) party, or death if he cast in his lot with the British. His decision was promptly accorded, the ready reply being, " What have I to do with the British? lam with you" He then, laying his hand on the heads of the mutineers, swore to be their chief, and to lead them to Delhi ; after which they wore dismissed with orders to carry the Go vernment treasure to Kullianpore. A consultation was then held by the Nana, Bala Sahib, and Azee moolah. The latter pointed out the folly of proceed ing to Delhi, where their individual power and in fluence would necessarily cease, and recommended the Nana's recalling the mutineers, taking posses sion of Cawnpore, and extending is authority as far as he could to the eastward, adding that he was thoroughly acquainted with the resources of the British, that the nutnbar of Europeans in India was scarcely one-fourth that of the native army, and that, the latter having mutinied, the former were powerless. This being agreed to, as the soundest policy, was accordingly carried out; the mutineers were ordered back, and the siege of the iritrench ments commenced. The evidence of some of the be leagured parties, chiefly belonging to the 53d and 56th Regiments, with that of the city people, give a vivid picture of the state of affairs during that ever memorable period. The muti• neers, it would appear, were more intent on plunder and murder than on fair and open fight, while in the city and elsewhere a reign of terror was esta blished. The Nana was assisted by neighbouring Zemindars and the insurgent populace. Finding it, after repeated attempts, impossible to take the in trenchments by fair fighting, a full couneil was held, and recourse to treachery resolved upon, though some of the mutineers present are said to have de precated the adoption of foul means. Whether this be true or not, one fact is clear—none gave warning of the base impending treachery, involving, though it did, the murder of helpless women and innocent children ; but all joined unflinchingly in its perpe tration. The evidence regarding the massacre at the Suttie Chowra ghat, on the morning of the 27th of June, 1857, is clear and conclusive. The guns and rebel troops, held in ambush, were withdrawn from their places of concealment when the deputed officers went to examine the boats at the ghat. Nine or ten thousand spectators assembled from the city and neighbouring villages to witness the departure of that gallant little garrison from the entrenchments, among whom were many respectable city people, such as bankers, &c.; some, doubtless, came to view the truly novel sight of their late rulers led forth as captives by those they had but a short time pre viously commanded. Some few may have been ac tuated by a better and kinder motive—to pay their parting respects to those they had known in hap pier days; for the more respectable portion of the native communiy, though prepared for treachery, were not aware the British would be attacked at the ghat before they embarked, but imagined it would be lower down the river. Even before that doomed little band had reached the fatal spot the real intentions of the mutineers wore revealed by some, unable to maintain their malignant ardour until the stated time and spot were reached. The depositions gave a painful account of the murder of Colonel Ewart, who commanded the let Native Infantry, by some four se p oys o f his corps, who cut him down with bitter taunts. Ilis poor wife also met with a similar fate almost immediately after wards. Of the fearful scenes that ensued at the ghat the evidence of the Manjees who supplied the boats with that of many who were spectators, gives a clear account. The most active in carrying out the arrangements and urging on the slaughter was Teekum, a sowsr of the 2d Cavalry, who, having been made a meal der by the Nana, was doubtless anxious thus to exhibit his zeal and devotion in the cause of his benefactor. On a carpet spread on the chubootra of the temple, near the ghat, were seated Bala Sahib, Azeemoollah, Brigadier Jowala Pershad, and Tantia Topee, a captain of the Nana's guard. The first shots were fired from the Oude bank of the river, where the mutinous 17th Native Infantry were posted with some guns, three more being stationed with a large force on the right bank. On the boats being set on fire by the former party many of their occupants leapt into the water on the offside, and, notwith standing the murderous fire poured upon them, some $4 or 85 women and children effected their escape from present death, only, alas! to meet a worse fate hereafter. The wives of drummers, and children from three to ten years old, passed un scathed, not only through the siege, bat even this terrible massacre also. A man of great influence in the city, and a Go vernment official, has related a circumstance that is strange if true—viz., that while the massacre was being carried on at the ghat a trooper of the 2d Cavalry reported to the Nana, then at Savada house, that his enemies, their wires, and children, were exterminated. Some one present remarked, " Yes, it is true, for an infant a month old was seen floating down the stream." On hearing which the Nana replied, that " for the destruction of women and children there was no necessity," and directed the sowar to return with an order to stay their slaughter. Reliable evidence, as far as it was procurable, re garding the massacre of the helpless captives in the slaughter-house has been recorded, from which the following facts have been gleaned :—That the mutinous troops refused to carry out the order for their destruction, though one random volley by some was, it would seem, fired; that the real perpetrators of the diabolical deed were chiefly men of the Nana's own guard ; and that the cause of their destruc tion was fear of betrayal ; that, on the steady and continued advance of the British, and after the second action, in which Bala. Sahib was severely wounded on the right shoulder, a hurried council was held ; that fear and consternation filled the rebel camp, and dismay the I saris of all; that this meeting was attended by many who, by some loans of money and aid in various other ways aceorded to the Nana, had implicated themselves in the revolt; that many and various were the projects sug gested for checking the advance of the British, SCREW.

One of the most discreditable exploits of the secret, irresponsible diplomacy of England was brought to the notice of the House of Commons by Mr. Stansfeld on Tuesday evening. The interpella tion made on that occasion refers to a subject which we ourselves treated on in a leading article some three works ago. Mr. GlitAtlis will again bring the matter before the house this evening.. The facts of the case are shortlp these. Towards the end of De cember a public association was formed at Turin under the name of " La Nazione Armata," having for its object the voluntary arming and military or ganisation of the population (f Sardinia, for the purpose of being the better prepared for certain political emergencies which are present to the mind of everybody. It was a movement similar, in some respects, to our own volunteer movement. Two members of the Piedmontese Parliament, Signor Brofferio and Signor Sineo, placed themselves at the head of it. General Garibaldi, with the assent of the King, accepted its presidency. About the same time a royal decree, appointing Garibaldi In spector-in-Chief of the National Guard of the king dom, was determined upon, and on the point of being signed by the Sardinian Monarch. In short, the whole thing was a step in advance for the fur therance of those ideas of national independence and Italian unity which the best patriots of the peninsula have so much at heart, and with which the people of this country so fully sympathise. Now, what did the representative of England at the Court of Turin, Sir J. Hudson, do under the.,.e circumstances a Assuming, for the nonce, the role of a Lord-Protector of Sardinia, he took the matter nto his mighty " consideration," and " arrived at :he conclusion" that a society such as the " Nazione Armata" was " quite inconsistent with a monarchy," and must therefore immediately be dissolved''. This " conelusion" Sir J. Hudson handed over to the King and his Government, adding, it appears, some threats and significant hints that the" good offices" of England would be withdrawn if such measures as the establishment of the "Nazione Armata" under Garibaldi's presidentship, and his appoint ment as Inspector-in-Chief of the National Guard, were persisted in. At this menace, the Sardinian Monarch became alarmed. Ho forthwith entreated the gallant general to give up the honour conferred upon him by the patriotic association alluded to. Garibaldi. on his part, knowing the immense im portance to the welfare of his country of a society such as the "Nazione Armata," hesitated to relin quish it before trying whether in reality an Eng lish ambassador could have played so far into the hands of the reactionary interest. He consequently wrote to Sir James Hudson, asking him if he had advised the King to dissolve the association. The British Envoy " promptly and frankly" answered " Yes !" Thereupon the " Nazione Armata" was dissolved, and Garibaldi had once more to retire from the stage of his exploits into obscurity. But now comes the best part of the transaction. Mr. Stansfeld—worthily representing, as he does, the sympathy of the people of England with the Italian cause—addresses an inquiry to Ministers, to learn whether so disgraceful an interference in the affairs of Sardinia had been perpetrated at the order, or received the sanction of her Majesty's Government. To this demand Lord John Russell answers in the following off-hand style :—" We have given no instructions to our Envoy on this subject. His transactions with King Victor Em manuel and the Government at Turin have been of an entirely private nature. It was in a private ca pacity Sir James Hudson addressed his remon strance to the Sardinian Monarch on this political affair. The result of his exertions, however, meets with oar hearty approbation. I, Lord J. Russell, have chosen to write a private letter to Sir James Hudson to tell him that we entirely approve of the proceedings he has thought proper to take in an entirely personal manner." This is a new and admirable exposition of the duties of a responsible Government on Parliamen tary principles. We recommend to the Czar of All the Russias and to the King of Dahomey this speech of our Foreign Secretary ; they may take a hint therefrom how to dub in future the doings of their own despotic rule by the more convenient title of constitutional government—a name hitherto generally given to the mode of administration pre vailing in these isles. So we are bidden to reconcile ourselves to having the government of England conducted on " private" principles ! An English Envoy, in his " private" capacity, sets the King of Sardinia to rights in his own kingdom on the ap proved meaning of monarchy and its duties ! And an English Minister of Foreign Affairs highly ap proves of the proceeding, and takes care to express such apFroval in a " private" billet doux to the trusty Envoy. Of course, matters being arranged after this amiable fashion, the Parliamentary Know-Nothings have no business to trouble themselves in the affair. They may stare at their leisure at the amaz ing strength of such an athletic gentleman as Sir James, who, quite apart from his strong official character, can, in private encounter, double up a crowned live King in his own country. Indeed, it would puzzle our readers to remember a similar performance. Only fancy Count Persigny telling Queen Victoria a bit of his mind something after this fashion :—" Now, Madam, I would have you to know that I can't approve of this volunteering busi ness you are making all this fuss about. It don't agree at all with my idea of what a monarchy ought to be, and I must insist upon its being immediately suppressed." And then fancy Louis Napoleon, oc hearing of this performance on the part of his En voy, writing a note to "his dear Fialin," telling him how much he approved of the useful lesson he had read to Ma-lam about the management of her own affairs, and how he was pleased to observe that his good friend had " arranged the little matter so well in his private character," and not troubled himself by doing so in any official form. Bat to return to the King of Piedmont. He has, in our opinion, given an evidence of signal weak ness—a weakness, we regret to say, shared even by Garibaldi—in thus giving way to the menace of the British Ambassador, administered in such uncalled for advice. But this does not, in our eyes, diminish in the least the grave responsibility Sir Jas. Hudson and his superiors have assumed by dictating to Piedmont on matters in no way concerning them selves. What business had an English Minister to enlighten a Sardinian Monarch on his own pirate notion of the meaning of the word " monarchy ?" What right had he to declare that a particular poli tical association must be dissolved as " inconsistent with monarchical principles ?" Is not King Victor Emmanuel competent to judge on a subject so mill mediately concerning himself, without being fa voured with the "private" opinions of an English knight ; which private and authorised opinions the latter can only hope to obtain attention for, by back ing them with the power he derives as being the public representative of this country ? Is England, at the caprice of certain gentlemen who are lucky enough to get diplomatic posts at foreign Courts, to play the part of the sbire and gaoler of the petty States of the Continent, forcing them back to the illiberal principle whenever any measures Of liberty they may contemplate, happen not to accord with the peculiar notions of the aforesaid gentlemen in their " private" capacities ? These are sad reflections to be obliged to make. It augurs badly for the preservation, and still worse for the extension, of our own freedom, if an irre sponsible English diplomacy is thus to go about doing the dirty work of despots abroad. It is high time Parliament should look to the root of our dip lomatic system when the fruits it bears are of so rotten and poisonous a nature. As it is, English Envoys and English Ministers, laying aside, for the sake of deception, their diplomatic liveries and as suming the dress of English gentlemen, make themselves guilty abroad of deeds of so disgraceful a character, that we think the severest penalties our laws permit for the punishment of such acts ought to be fully awarded to the offenders. If the British Legislature, in fact, does not vindicate its injured prerogative in this matter, it will itselfhave laid the foundation of a despotic regime, which may one day grow to a structure overshadowing its own liberties.—lfferning dvertiser. WIDENING OF HIGH HOLBORN.—The Metro politan Board of Works have determined to widen this im portant thoroughfare by the removal of the block of build ings opposite Gray's Inn-lane, and forming the northern side of that narrow passage known as the Middle-row ; this will give an increase of at least 20 feet in Width to the car riage -road, and about 10 feet to the foot pavement. Several representations respecting the confined and narrow entraice to Chancery-lane from Holborn, having been made to the Board, it is stated to be their intention to widen the same, futur f which may bo accomplish ed at a very trifling expense.

Hr said "No thing ;" and 1 searched him, without finding any thing, but just then two City officers came up, and when I told them what I knew about him they took him to the station. lie is one of the cleverest thieves we have on the Surrey side of the water, and I have no doubt he had a compauion waiting not far off at the time. Monger, City detective—l searched him at the station, my lord, and found on him only a small knife of a peculiar make, such as they use to force panes of glass ; hut a gentleman who has a ware house close by thinks that an attempt has been made to obtain an entrance. The pair cf iron hooks produced were also found near the spot; they are such as thieves and housebreakers use to lower themselves over walls or anything of that kind. Mr. Goodman (chief clerk)---But nothing of the kind was actually found in his possession ? Monger—No. The Lord Mayor—Then I am afraid we must discharge him. Clarke, 108 M—As I knew he had been tried for murder and housebreaking, and was besides a no. _ torious thief, I thought I was acting quite right in what I did, my lord. _ _ _ The Lord Niayor—So you were. You were per fectly justified in your conduct, and I hope you will always keep as vigilant an eye when you Ome into the City upon any such character that you may see here. As for this man, although I must discharge him now—if he deserves the character you give him, and I have no doubt of your accu racy, the sooner he is brought to justice the better. Prisoner—May I speak, my lord ? Mr. Goodman—What do you want to speak for when you are discharged ? Prisoner—Why that officer (pointing to Clarke) has a little enmity against me. Clarke—He would not say that on the other side of the water, my lord, where his character is so well known. The Lord Mayor—He may think himself very lucky to get away now, and I advise him to be very careful of his conduct for the future. The pisroner was then discharged. GUILDHALL.—Mr. George Tallantyre Gibbs, a shipowner, of Newcattle, at present staying at the York Hotel, New Bridge.street, Blackfriars, was summoned before Alderman Lawrence under the Merchant Shipping Act, for the sum of £8 12s. Bd., claimed by Capt. Somerville, of the ship Conrad, as wages due. A clerk from Mr. Buchanan's office appeared for the complainant, and stated that Capt. Somerville was engaged by Mr. Gibbs on the Bth of December last, as master of the Conrad, to go to Cadiz. The vessel left Cardiff on the 10th of January, and on the 14th she was lost in 9.0 W. long, and 49 N. lat., but all hands were saved. The captain therefore claimei for wages, at the rate of £7 per month, £8 12s Bd. ; but on applying to Mr. Gibbs for pay ment, he was refused, and an accusation made at the same time that he had scuttled the ship. In addition to the claim for wages the captain had ex pended between £2 and £3 towards the support of the crew, but that of course could not be recovered in this court. Capt. Somerville having given evidence to that effect, Mr. Gibbs said he had understood that four of the crew had made affidavit that the captain scut tled the ship, and that was the reason he refused payment of the wages. If, however, the captain would produce the protest and swear that he had not been the means of losing the ship he would pay the whole claim. Mr. Buchanan's clerk said the protest should be produced, but as Mr. Gibbs had thought proper to make such an accusation, he ought to prove it, in stead of calling upon the captain to disprove it. Alderman Lawrence said the better course would be to adjourn the summons for a week, and if in the meantime Mr. Gibbs did not proceed against the captain, then he would have to pay the amount claimed. BOW-STREET.—John and Sarah Siplis (hus band and wife), who keep a marine-store shop in St. Giles's, were charged with receiving stolen goods. - The wife of a tobacconist in Long-acre deposed that she was sitting in the parlour behind the shop, when a strange man entered, took up a lib. weight from the counter, and ran off with it. She went to the door, and seeing the witness Cleaver passing, asked him to follow the man, which he did. Daniel Cleaver, a mulatto, who described himself as a porter, deposed that he followed the man by the request of the; witness, and saw him enter the shop of the prisoners in Little White Lion-street, Seven-dials. Looking through the window he saw the man offer the weight for sale to the female prisoner, who purchased it in the presence of her husband. The man went away, and witness gave information to the police. Mr. Abrams, who appeared for the Defence Se eiety, cross-examined Clearer, and elicited that he had been seven' times in custody, but only once for felony. Had six months' imprisonment for that. Once had three months for an assault. It was striking a constable (with great reluctance). It was done in rescuing a thief. Did not know the man who sold the weight. Did not try to detain him. Did not feel called upon to do so, not being a constable. Sergeant Felton said he went to the prisoners' shop iu consequence of information received from the last witness, and demanded the weight they had just bought. The female prisoner strenuously denied having bought a weight,until he threatened to search the place. Sho then produced it from the tire-place in the parlour behind the shop. It was so hot that he could not hold it. He then. took her into custody. Sergt. Holmes went in private el )thes, in conse quence of information received, to the male prisoner's stepfather, and asked for some lead which Siplis had left there. The old man at once gave it up. Witness said, "What made him leave it with you?" The old man replied, " His wife is in charge for re ceiving a weight, and he wanted the lead out of the way in case the police should search the place." Witness then took Siplis in custody. On hearing what his stepfather had said, he denied it, but when witness said ho must apprehend the old man if he persisted, the prisoner acknowledged it. Mr. Abrams contended that the mulatto's evi dence was not worthy of belief. Without it, there was nothing against the husband, other hand, there was nothing to show that the wife had not acted under his coercion. while, on the The magistrate thought dere was a ease for a jury, and committed both prisoners for trial.
