BULL BOROUGH SESSIONS. THE RECORDER'S CEIARGE-THE QUEEN'S VISIT. The Michaelmas sessions for this borough were opened on Friday last, before Samuel Warren, Esq„ Q.C., D.C.L., Recorder. The court was crowded witl) persons who evidently were there for the purpose of hearing the learned Recorder's charge. During its delivery there was the most profound silence observed ; indeed, when ever the least stir took place in the court there was at once a hushing for silence. The usual forms of the court having been gene through, The Learned Recorder proceeded to charge the Grand Jury. He said : Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,—ln commencing, as Ido this day, the third ye a r o f m y occu p a tion of this andseat before I proceed t o th e ser i ous an d painful dutie s whic h this day devolve on yourselves and me, I feel c ons trained by a sense of duty, as a loyal subject and as a servan t of the Queen, by whose direct authority I sit here to administer justice in her name—to advert to the event which so splen didly signalised the close of last week—the personal pre sence amongst us, for a considerable period, of the Queen of this mighty empire. She did not merely flash momentarily before you eyes, like a meteor, but lovingly deigned to accept your invitation to visit, and to rest, with you ; to see, with deliberation, this ancient portion of her dominions, and all that invests it with historical interest and importance : to look on its loyal inhabitants, and hear the welcome paeans of their intense and enthusiastic love and reverence. She came a ccompanied by her illustrious Consort, by the Prince of Wales, and others of the Royal children, attended by h e r greatest Minister of State, and by distinguished mem bers of her Court. What would you have had more ? And consider the time of this memorable visit, in gracious and most considerate performance of a long-standing promise, which the Queen had doubtless been told had last year induced her faithful subjects in this borough to incur, in their eager joy, no little expense, in order to afford her Majesty a reception of befitting splendour. Gentlemen, shortly after her Majesty had ascended the throne, in the commencement of the year 1840, occurred one of the grand est and most affecting incidents in the history of France and England. The French Jovernment requested England to give France the remains of their mighty hero, Napoleon, then reposing, i n l one l y state, at St. Helena. The Queen di rected her Ministers instantly to comply with the dignified and moving request ; and but a few short days ago, I myself beheld the tomb preparing for the reception of those re mains. I thought of the noble wish expressed by the Queen, through her Ministers, " that the act might be regarded as a proof of her Majesty's desire to efface the last trace of those national animosities which, during the Emperor's life, had driven the two countries to war ; and that if any vestiges of such animosity should unhappily still exist, they might be buried for ever in the tomb destined to receive the remains of Napoleon f' words, as a. living historian has j astly remarked, of dignified generosity, worthy of the chi valrous days of a great nation. Fourteen years have since passed ; and the cannon of the Invalides, while I gazed on that magnificent mausoleum, and on the coffin of Napoleon, were about to announce to France the tidings of a fearfully glorious victory by the Allied Armies of the two nations, each shedding their best blood, together, on the heights of Alma, in defence of the liberties of all Europe, and to re pel aggression on a gallant and unoffendine state. History does not record a more wonderful event than that alliance, nor exhibit a spectacle more sublime than the attitude and ac ei o p of these two mighty champions of civilisation ; each the radiating centre of profound statesmanship, and military and naval glory, seeking by the aid of their enormous powers and resources no object of ambition or aggrandisement, but becoming, under Pro vidence, joint arbiters of the destinies of Europe. Gen tlemen, my official position here conferred on me, as one of two or three, the distinction and privilege of being in immediate personal attendance on her Majesty; and here let me say in the names of us all, that the demeanour and converse of her Majesty and the Prince were charac terised by a stately affability, exquistely tempered with cordiality, and intended to be bestowed, through us, upon all the inhabitants of Hull. Amidst all the cheering emo tions excited by the acclamations of her enthusiastic sub jects, crowding every spot from which a glimpse might be caught of the sacred person of their sovereign, it may be that every now and then there flitted over her counte nance, and I think I saw it, a shade of deep anxiety, when possibly reflecting what might, at that mome n t, b e d o i ng, and being suffered by her valiant troops and those of France in the East, among whom, too, her own royal cousin was gallantly sharing the toils and mortal perils of every private under his command—such, gentlemen, are the circumstances investing the late royal visit with a most special significance, and even of themselves entitling your sovereign to your profound gratitude. Gentlemen, I several times heard from the lips of her Majesty and the Prince expressions of high gratification at the affection - ate enthusiasm with which they were received. She then, indeed, "saw spontaneouslyexemplified," as Edmund Burke expressed it, " the cheap defence of nations, the unbought loyalty of the heart ; ' and her Majesty men tioned a fact which I myself then heard for the first time, that not a single special constable had been sworn in on the occasion of her visit ; the Prince adding with energy, that the people were their own special constables, and had kept the peace themselves. Let me also mention the astonishment with which the Queen and Prince ap peared to behold, so gaily and picturesquely developed, your great dock capabilities. In that astonishment the humble individual who addresses you shared largely ; and is satisfied that the scene has left a deep impression on the minds of your royal visitors. The last words which her Majesty uttered, in my hearing, were in admiration of the position of Hell, and the magnificent Humber. Gen tlemen, I know that the Queen and Prince were deeply affected by the overwhelming exhibition which met their eyes, before quitting their night's resting place, on Satur day night last. I, too, shall never forget that vast area of exulting fellow-subjects, which surrounded her, nor the thrilling peal which burst from upwards of twelve thou sand school children, of every denomination, singing the National Anthem, aided by as many enthusiastic adults ; but amidst all the array of intermingled banners, my eye caught one which possibly may also have attracted the watchful eye of her Majesty. It bore the words " Poor, but Loyal," and I found that it was borne by the Workhouse children ! lam not ashamed to say that my heart and my eyes overflowed. That banner, with its simple and moving inscription, hung before my mind's eye incessantly, even in the vivid presence of Majesty and Royalty ; and had I but been able to trust my feel ings, I should have ventured to tell her Majesty of that banner ; and I know' how she would have received the intelliegence : for she is the loved and loving Queen of all alike, young and old, high and low, rich and poor, wher ever on the face of the whole earth they may be ; wielding God's authority even over us all, aid herself ever paying the same implicit obedience to the law of the land, which is due from, and which she is legand to see paid by, every one of her subjects. I thought, as she moved along, and such joyous unanimity of a great feeling was manifested, oh that this may last, and in all its intensity, that all may always equally love her, as she loves all equally : that her radiant presence here maynot in its effects pass away like the dew or the cloud, but long continue to soften and melt away every element of discord, civil and religious, fusing all into one glowing sentiment of piety and loyalty. Gentlemen, her Majesty's presence has not kindled (forthat was needless) the spark of loyalty in the heart of every inhabitant of this borough, but fanned it into a perfect flame, which as it is now illuminating-all eastern Yorkshire, so I hope may warm and irradiate every heart, so long as it continues to beat. She whom you have so lately had among you appears, in her regal capacity, under two aspects with which we are at pre sent concerned. She is the fountain of justice ; not be it ob served, as the author, or original, but as the distributor of it, in pure and constant streams —not as of her free gift, but as the steward of the public, to dispense it to whom it is due, as their birthright ; not the spring, but reservoir, whence justice is conducted by a thousand channels to every indi- vidual, and one of these channels we here see in existence, this day. But, gentlemen, the other aspect of her Ma jesty's sacred office is, that she is the fountain of honour and privilege ; the true fountain, in the strictest sense the real and only source of honour in this vast empire. The law supposes that none can be so good a judge of the merits and services of those who serve her as the Sove reign who employs them ; and it has intrusted her with the sole power of conferring dignities and honours, in con fidence that she will bestow them upon none but such as deserve them ; and the last act of the Queen, in this her exalted capacity, and while still your majestic visitor, was the public and graceful exercise of this her prerogative, in conferring upon the amiable and accomplished chief magis trate who sits beside me, to the universal delight of his fellow townsmen, as her Majesty had taken care to ascer tain, the honour of knighthood. But, .crentlemen, amid all the spl en d our an d exc it emen t o f th a t clay, my own heart was sometimes suddenly saddened by reflecting how we should be engaged here, in one short week—on this very day ' • and as I looked a t suc h coun tl ess h a ppy and exulting thousands as greatly surprised your royal visi tors themselves, I thought with grief of one miserable section of the Queen's subj ec t s , shut out from the joyous and ennobling spectacle : seeing and hearing nothing of what was going on without; but either undergoing the de grading punishment of their crimes, or awaiting, under heavy suspicion of guilt, the assembling of this court to day ! For indeed we must now turn from so recent and richly emblazoned a page in the ancient records of the borough to the gloomy document before me—the calendar laden with the names of so many who are accused of hav ing forgotten their dray to both their Que en an d th e i r fellow subjects , violating those la ws w hi c h b o th Sovereign and subject are equally bound to obey. Gen tlemen, I am disheartened by this heavy calendar from s a ying much that I had intended, on recent and impend ing changes of an important character iu the criminal law since we last met. I mint therefore be brief. Since I last sat here three very interesting events have occurred in this borough. First, its Parliamen tary longer in abeyance, bat Hull has nn r epresentation w is no its two members in the Commons House of Parliament; and I cordially con gratulate you all on the exemplary mann er exciting contest was conducted. Ithas in which that not furnished, as a former one did, a single case for these sessions : and I he ar th at drunkenness an d v i o l en ce were nowher e to be 88 se. I warmly congratulate you on such ho p eful evidence of moral progress in this important and now so greatly distinguished borough. Secondly , the num ber of justice s of the peace has been increased by the names of four gentlemen of high respectability anil s tation here, one of them y our mayor. Thirdly , yo ur wishes have been complied with, and ' you . now possess essa stipendiary . ma g is magis trate, in who se learning, temper , impartiality, and inde pendence, many y ears knowledee, of him on circuit, I be lieve, warrant m e i n saying that " y Gentlemen, what effect this la s t a yon may safely confide. mately have upon yourselves asgr anti pp .j o u i r n y t m ul e e n nt it m is a n y o u t lftoir me to say • but I fear that atte mpts will again speedily be made in Parliament ' to dispens altogether, with your invalua7lie th a great extent, if not eryices. The hands of those wishing to inaugurate this s erious s ryreo in t novaticn have been certainly strengthened by a ve r y rec en t carefully expressed presentiment of a Middlesex former times," they say, " no doubt our forefa j t u a . wisely "En d and persons eo f m ro m m i t t t h e d e l instituted this tribunal, to stand between the aecurs t? protect innocent a court of justice; painful ordeal of a trial, who might have been from either the ignorance of the magistrate, or political causes, when party spirit ran high. But by the intel ligence of the magistrates of this day, and the power ful influence of the press, these causes are no longer in existence. The present utility of ourselves a s a grand jury is in respect of indictments, which, being pre. ferred entirely on exparte statements, we consider would be much better dealt with by the magistrates, on bring ing face to face before them the a ccuser and the accuse d . We, therefore, trust that the Legislature will relieve us from being summoned to attend to business i which may be considered a matter o f mere form—our s, hese topics being an desery nstitu- tion which has ou tlived its utility." T grave consideration un doubtedly; but speaking for myself personally, and reminding you of the solemn oath which the grand juryman ta k e s and which you have all just taken, I say, leave me the grand let me have the concurrent voices of twelve (at least) i j n n t r e y lligent sworn fellow-country men, that *he case alleged against me really requires me to THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1854, undergo the agony and peril of a public trial; and I am not satisfied to leave interests so momentous in the hands of a single magistrate, however able, honest, and experienced. Again, you must combine with the consideration of this topic that of the contemplated institution of a putlic pro secutor, and the projected great augmentation of the sum mary powers of a single magistrate. All these are topics of infinite moment; but I must pass on, with the expression of an anxious hope that the Le,,eislature will not suffer itself to be precipitated into rash and pernicious action. The treat ment of the criminal section of our population continues to excite the utmost anxiety among all thinking men. There really must be a reconsideration of what I shortly designate as the ticket-of-leave system, the serious evils of which are multiplying around us in all directions. The subject, however, is one of great difficulty, and re quires profound consideration by the Legislature. As to youthful criminals, a hearty but cautious effort has been made by the Legislature during the last session to meet the wishes and requirements of the country and the age. This, also, is a subject remaining environed with practical diffi culties ; and I, for one, am watching the operation of the great experiment with the utmost solicitude : curious also to see how far the country's voluntary efforts will second those which the Legislature has been so urgently pressed by the country to make. _I wish from my heart God speed to this noble effort ! I am alluding now to statute 17th and 18th Vic., c. 85, passed on the 10th of August last, and entitled " An Act for the better care and refor mation of youthful offenders in Great Britain." Under its provisions, the managers of any voluntarily established institution for the better training of juvenile offenders may apply to the Home Secretary to order the institution to be inspected by! one of the inspectors of prisons ; and on a favourable report it may be declared by the Secretary of State to be a "Reformatory School" under the act. It is then enacted that any youth under sixteen years of age, convicted on either indictment or summary conviction, may be ordered by the court or justices, in addition to the sentence, which must not be less than 14 days' imprison ment, to be sent, at the expiration of it, to any " Reforma tory School" which may be willing to receive him ; to be detained there fornot more than five,nor less than two years. The parents of such offender shall be compelled, if able, to contribute to the maintenance of such offender a weekly sum not exceeding 55.; payment to be enforced bythe compulsory powers of the Poor-law Acts. The Treasury is made liable to pay the whole or such part of the maintenance as can not be recovered from the parents; and the act contains provisions rendering absconding or refractory offenders liable to three months' imprisonment, with or without hard labour, in any gaol or house of correction for the co unty or b orough. Such are the leading provisions of the Act which might have been set in force within this bo rough by either myself at these sessions, or by the stipen diary magistrate and justices in cases cognisable by them. But this cannot now be the case. The Act as regards this borough is, during these sessions, a dead letter ; for where is your volunt ar ily es t a bli s h e d Reformatory School? I cannot doubt, however; that this is owing solely to the very recent passing of the Act; and that no time will be loot in establishing one, and thus practi cally and nobly proving that the enightened inhabitants of Hull were and are in right earnest in this great cause. Their sentiments—those of a grand jury, formally pre sented to me in court—l myself conveyed, as I promised, to the Secretary of State, and several of the leading mem bers of both Houses of Parliament. Another bold step taken by the Legislature during the last session, in a vir tuatts and philanthropic spirit, was towards securing the sanctity of the Lord's-day, and thereby, also, diminishing opportunities and temptations for intemperance, that very hot-bed of crime. Who can doubt, that were there no in toxicating liquors in existence on earth, crimes would im mensely diminish, and the happiness and well-doing of our species proportionately increase ? But as times go, and with men as men are, and wemust be aware that in bending we do not break the bow, and impose a kind, and a degree, of re straint on reasonable enjoyment, which a free country will not, and indeed ought net, to tolerate. The recent act for restricting the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sunday has made, as I have said, a bold advance in the right direc tion ; and I wish that all mayors—all magistrates—would imitate the example of the Lord Provost of Edinburgh— and also of my excellent friend the Recorder of Birming ham, and with patient impartiality and vigilance watch the operation of that important act. God forbid, gentle men, that such a monstrous outrage on public moralityand feeling should be committed, as that the upper classes of society, blessed with every means of complete and luxurious enjoyment of life, should cruelly debar th e ir le s s f a v o u re d brethren of such fair and reasonable enjoyment, only, as their limited means and opportunities may afford ; that would be to make the rich man continue selfishly enjoying, amidst increased quietude anti enhanced soli tude, that Sunday which his chafed and irritated humbler neighbour would only feel disposed to curse. But, on the other hand, do not let us be frightened by phrases, stereotyped though empty,—such as, " the impossibility of making men sober, er religious, by Act of Parliament." Let us give a fair trial to an honest attempt of the Legislature, set in motion by so many wise and bene volent persons, remembering how inevitably it is calcu lated at first to provoke resistance and resentment. Let us also make large deductions in respect of clamour among those who are selfish and base enough to regard it as a question solely of pecuniary profit and loss. By and by, the neck gets accustomed to the soft collar of social order ; and while the dissolute drunkard is hiccuping curses against the friends of temperance—his own beat friends—oh, that the Legislature could catch a sight of the vast array of wives, of mothers, of sisters, faces, pale with suffering and fear of a return to old times of domestic tyranny and debauchery who, in anguished silence, are inwardly praying for the success of that move ment, which is already beginning to make their home a little heaven ! Who would tremblingly whisper in the ear of the Legislature—think of us and of our children—of those who dare not speak for ourselves— and be wisely and mercifully firm of purpose ; having set your hand to the plough, oh ! look not back. I can truly say, that the result of my own inquiries elsewhere than here, especially in London, has been decisively favour able to the new law ; the operation of which I shall con tinue, as doubtless will' all really interested in the public welfare, to watch with anxiety and hope.. I havebeen given to understand, also, that in this borough, since the passing of the act, the charges for drunkenness have diminished by about two-thirds ! and that the beneficial effects of the act are beginning to be perceived by even those whose interests might have been imagined to render them highly hostile to it. This is, indeed, most honourable to them, and encouraging to the public. So groat have been the changes and improvements made by an act of the last session (stat. 17 and 18 Vic., c. 125), in the admi nistration of civil justice in England, and which will pro bably come into operation during the sitting of the Venire Court here, that one of tie most celebrated members of the House of L ords (Lord Brougham) lately declared to a fi iend of mine that it alone was richly worthy of the exclusive la bours of a session. Gentlemen, I lament to see so heavy a ca lendar, nearly 60 eases, while all classes are enjoying so m uc h prosperity. The learnedßecorder then proceeded to say that, with respect to the cases in the calendar, though there were many of a very serious nature, yet there was only one which called for special remark from him. This was the case of the man charged with procuring a girl, under 21 years of age, for immoral purposes. In this case the Grand Jury would have to see first that the girl was under 21 years of age 2 • and then that, by false pretences and representations, and by fraudulent means, she had been led into evil. If a prima facie base of this kind were made out, then it would be their duty to find a bill. The Recorder then dismissed the jury to their duties. —Hull Advertiser. (From the Hull Advertiser.) We pretend s not to feel much regret at finding it im possible this week to do more than call the particular attention of the public to the eloquent, glowing, and soul-stirring charge of the Recorder of Hull to the grand jury of this borough at the opening of our quarterly ses sions yesterday. The learned Recorder, Mr. Warren, as our local readers well know, was in personal at tendance upon the Qneen during her Majesty's stay in Hull ; and, as was to be expected, the lofty theme is dwelt upon in the opening of his charge in language with which it would not be very safe for newspaper writers to court a comparison. How different are the utterances of a mouth touched with a live coat from the Celestial altar from those which serve the purposes of common speech may be discovered in a moment by comparing the Recorder's glowing descrip tion of the Queen's presence in Hull with most of those previously published I Now it may surprise hundreds to be told that in the inspired utterances of such gifted men as the Recorder is to be sought aid found that real matter of factness of which business men profess to be such great admirers. A. true poet, for example, not only feels and apprehends more fully and correctly than a clever man not gifted with a poetic temperament, but he sees infinitely more in any great object presented to him than is observable by persons of more limited intellect. When it comes to ordinary questions of fact usually addressed to grand juries, such as their utility in the administration of justice— the ticket-of-leave system--reformatory schools and the working of the new Beer Bill, the learned Recorder is as much at home as the dullest of us. Tn him, as in all men of high intellect, the most exalted order of mental excellence is not in the least in compatible with a thorough acquaintance with all the details of the very commonest of common things. Never theless we regard it as most expedient to take future oc casions for severally examining the questionS. As re gards the Beer Bill, we most cordially concur in the thanks which, with meritorious discrimination, the learned Recorder bestows upon the Lord Provost of Edinburgh for the pains which he has taken to make the United Kingdom aware of the practical operation of the new law in Scotland. Were all other Chief Magis trates in England and Scotland to follow his excellent example an immense amount of goad would be done to the country. When in Scotland we had some conversa tion with him on the subject of his letters to the Times, and were eye and ear witnesses of the efficacy of his la bours in the promotion of National Temperance. A great; deal everywhere depends upon the zeal and activity and devotedness of the Magistrates. But these are mat ters which shall have our attention when the excitement produced by the Royal visit has partially subsided, and when there are no such public teachers as the learned Recorder ia the way to claim the ears of all intelligent listeners. VIGILANCE OF OUR THIEVES.—On Friday last Mr. Thomas Froggett, of the parish of Little Hereford, at tended Hereford fair, had transacted his business, and was waiting at the booking : office at the railway station in the afternoon of that day, when 21.5/., consisting of bank notes, gold, and a cheque for 801., were .extracted from his breeches pocket. From what we have heard, we gather that Mr. Froggett, in taking some silver from his pocket to pay his own fare and that of some friend to Woofferton station, unfortunately displayed the bag containing this large amount, when it was doubtless seen by the thief, for in less than five minutes afterwards Mr. Froggett discovered he had been robbed.— Worcester Chronicle. effeoted a no th er cure o f bad legs, after 14 years' dura.- 14 [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway ' s Ointment and Pills tion.—Mrs. Geatley, of Dartford, was afflicted for years with bad legs, and she was repeatedly told that it Was impossible she could ever be cured. Eighteen month s ago she became so much worse that her friends were obliged to carry her up and down stairs. At Guy Hospital they refused to receive her, except as an inn -door patient, as it was feared amputation would be necessary. She then resolved to try Holloway's Oint inept and Plll 3, and in the course of nine weeks these remedies alon e e ff ected a sound and perfect cure.—Sold E by t a a al b vendors ishm en t f2m44eh Strand,c i n antddoantPorno,fessor m ollowa e y n 'e . and 8 0 , a id lane, New York.

Waiters and chambermaids rushed jostling about, and yet bell-calls were net an swered quickly enough. Breakfasts were speedily dis• cussed, and parties gathered in haste at the subscription room, but as there was no time for the transaction of business there, off they hurried to the heath, and all was bustle and excitement. Truly it was a great day for sport, 12 of the 13 races appointed for decision being run. Altogether 95 horses went to the post, and several of the contests excited a very lively interest by their se verity and closeness. We regret to state that, after a few days' suffering from quinsy, Mr. J. isepti Rogers, the well-known trainer, expired at his residence, Newmarket, on Thursday night. He was an excellent father, a good master, and a zealous promoter of the prosperity of the town. His loss will be much felt.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—Janf',7 'Fining and romas Martin, two well-dressed young men, were brought be fore Alderman Hunter under the following eircum7 stances : John Storey, city detective officer, 414, said—From information I received by the electric telegraph yester day afternoon, respecting a forged bill drawn upon the Northumberland and Durham Bank at Newcastle-on- Tyne, I apprehended the prisoners without a warrant at 3, Turner-street, Commercial-road. They are described in the communication I received as " Laing and Vin ing." I believe they are connected in some way with the charge referred to, and, if detained, I have no doubt that I shall shortly have a warrant for their apprehension on a charge of felony. They both told me that they came from Newcastle•on-Tyne on Sunday last, accom panied by a woman. I have received information that the bill has been negotiated, and that part of the money was to have been obtained this day at Messrs. Glyn and Co., the bankers, by a person named Joseph Laing. I believe " Joseph Laing" to be the prisoner Vining. Mr. Spairey, Superintendent of the City Police, said that, upon searching Vining, a gold watch was found on him, and that he (the superintendent) had reason to be lieve, from information that . had reached him from the police at Newcastle-on-Tyne, that the prisoners had been concerned in burglaries there. The prisoners were remanded. GUILDHALL.—John Worth, a respectably-attired young man, who described himself as a warehouseman, living at 111, Brook-street, Kennington, was charged with a most brutal and cowardly assault on Mrs. Char lotte Preece. _ He said the plaintiff first accosted hint, and wanted him to go home with her, and appealed to Mrs. Preece whether that was not the case, but she indignantly de• nied it. He then went on to state that the plaintiff had endeavoured to take liberties with him, and he, being in liquor, had struck her. The plaintiff denied the whole of this statement. Sir G. Carroll said, he should fine him 20s. for the assault, or 21 days' imprisonment. The fine was paid. LAMBETH.—John Henry Lynne, a traveller to Sir Robert Burnett and Co., the rectifiers in Vauxhall, who was brought up in custody from Bristol by Adam Saun ders, one of the warrant officers, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of embezzling upwards of 1,5001., the moneys of his employers. Mr. Grant, solicitor to the firm, attended for the pro• secution ; and Mr. Logic, the barrister, instructed by Mr. Drew, appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Grant having briefly stated the nature of the charge, called Mr. G. R. Burnett, one of the partners of Sir Robert, who deposed that the prisoner had been in the employment of the firm as a traveller and collector for about 10 years, and, as such, it was his duty to collect orders for the house through the west of England. It was also his duty to receive moneys on account of the firm from all parties he did business with, and to account for the same every ten days or a f.Ttnight, by sending what was called a " pay-list," and further, to send the money received by him, and to balance the account every three months. The account, or pay-list, put in was that furnished by the prisoner, and purported to contain the items, or entries, of all transactions for the house from the 19th of August last to the 14th of September. In that account there was no entry for 871. 10s. 9d. received by the prisoner from Messrs. Swan and Saunders, of Exe ter on the 25th of August. On the sth of October the prisoner came to town, as was his custom every three months, to settle his accounts, and on the 13th he came to him (Mr. Burnett), and asked him to advance him 150/ , and also a check for 1001., on account of his salary, saying he had not money enough to pay up his balance ; but he refused to do so. According to the pri soner's own aeknowledgment, be had received during his journey 4,6141. Os., and had only paid in 3,9421. 6s. 7d., sr) that this would leave a balance of 6711. 198. 5(1. unaccounted for, but out of this the prisoner was entitled to about 2001. for expenses. The sum of 871. 10s. 9d. did not form any part of this account, and, in fact, it had never been accounted for at all by the prisoner. In con- sequence of the state of the prisoner's accounts, and the deficiency in his balance, he (Mr. Burnett) caused cir culars to be forwarded to all the customers of the house in the west of England, and by this means ascer tained that on the 25th of last 'August the prisoner received the cheque 871. 10s. 9d. before mentioned, and on the back of that cheque was a receipt stamp, over which is written the prisoner's name, in his own handwriting. In his cross-examination, Mr. Burnett admitted that the firm held as a security poli cies of assurance on the prisoner's life, but these, he said, were for advances made to him before on account of the illness of his wife and family. There were also securities from a guarantee society, the officers of which he understood were now in possession of the prisoner's furniture and effects. In reply to Mr. Elliott, the witness said, that, if even he complied with the prisoner's request, there would still be a balance of 2211. 19s. sd. left on the quarter's account, but he was sorry, he said, to add that the prisoner's deficiencies altogether amounted to 1,5001. Mr. Passet Burnett, a relative, and clerk to the firm, said that on the sth inst. the prisoner came to him in the counting-house and read over the items in his quar terly or three months' account, and he (witness) checked over each entry in the books as they were called. The entries in the books were those - that bad been taken from the different accounts or pay-lists forwarded every 10 days or a fortnight by the prisoner. The item of 87/. 109. 91 did not appear in the books, nor was it called over by the prisoner. The prisoner called over the name of Swan and Saunders, of Exeter, as having returned eonlo oftekey but he did not say anything of having received a check for 871. 10s. 9d. on the 25th of August from that firm. Mr. Grant here said, that he was not at present pre pared to carry the case further, and had therefore to re quest his worship to remand the prisoner to a future day, when be should be prepared with the necessary witness to support the charges of embezzlement against him. Mr. Logie observed that, under the circumstances, he did not feel justified in resisting a remand for further inquiry, but he had to apply to his worship to admit his client to bail, a course he understood Mr. Grant had no objection to on the part of the prosecution. Mr. Elliott observed that, as the amount of defalca tion was so enormous, he did not think he should be jus tified in accepting bail in a less sum than two sureties of 7001. each, and the prisoner himself in double that sum. Mr. Logie doubted much whether his client could pro cure bail to so large an.amount, particularly as he was so far removed from his respectable friends, who resided in the west of England, and principally at Bristol. The prisoner was remanded for a week. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. CUSTOM-HOUSE, OCT. 27.
