This Company is formed, not for the purpose of establish ing a new Marine Insurance Office in rivalry with offices already opened, but with the object of continuing the existing Maritime Insurance business so long conducted by Mr. Henry Case, under the firm of Price and Co., in Exchange-buildings, Liverpool. Mr. Case's services, as underwriter, have been secured upon terms satisfactory to the Directors, dependent in part upon the success of the Company, and without the payment of any "promotion money," either in cash or shares. It is anticipated that whilst the extensive connection al ready possessed by Messrs. Price and Co. will be retained and consolidated by the formation of a Company, the busi ness will, at the same time, be considerably increased in consequence of Marine Insurance Companies being now very generally preferred to private underwriters. The success which has attended the operations of Marine Insurance Companies in Liverpool, may be gathered from the present vatue of their Shares in the market, viz.:— Amount Present Equal paid. price. to The Thames and Mersey £2 £7 0 0 250 percent. pm. The British and Foreign 2 415 0 137 The Union 2 5 1 3 156 The Empire The Albion . The Mercantile ..... 1 1 15 0 75 The strictest economy will be exercised in working, and the preliminary expenses wiil consist solely of the actual neces sary disbursements and legal charges. Applications for Shares must be accompanied by a payment of £1 per share, which will be retained on account of the full payment of £2 per share on the number of shares which may be allotted to the applicant, and will be liable to forfeiture if payment of the remaining £1 per share be not made at the time to be stated in the notice of allotment. Forms of application for shares may be obtained from the brokers, and also at the temporary offices of the Company, 4 and 5, Brown's-buildings, Liverpool. In cases where no allotments are made, the deposit will be returned without deduction.

This action, which was commenced on Friday last, and which was brought to recover a balance of £414 alleged to be due to the plaintiff, after giving credit to the defendant for payments amounting to £275 for extra services rendered by him while the clerk of Messrs. Chappell, the defendant's attorney, in frequenting night houses, getting up evidence in the defendant's divorce case, and expenses incurred in so doing, was resumed this morning. Mr. Karslake, for the defendant, summed up the defendant's evidence, relying on the extreme impro bability of the defendant having entered into any special contract with the plaintiff to pay him for his services while he was the clerk of his attorney, whom he had to pay for the same services, and also on the improbability of such a contract being entered into by the plaintiff, who had been an attorney, without his making any written memorandum of it, or making any allusion to it before the action was brought: The contract rested entirely on the evi dence of the plaintiff himself, and was in no way corroborated. He contended it was plain from the letters produced that the £2OO, less discount, and the £lOO claimed to be payments to him on account by the plaintiff were, in fact, loans to him at his pressing request, made by the defendant, that the plaintiff's claim was wholly without foundation, and his services had already been paid for in Messrs. Chappell's bill of costs. Mr. Powell claimed to treat the transaction as one entirely of business, and proposed to rest his case on the evidence, and to ask the jury had the work been done, and had the expenses sought to be recovered been incurred under a special contract with the defendant. Not a single item of the charges sought to be recovered had been pointed out in Messrs. Chappell's bill, nor had they dared to pro duce that enormous bill to show such to be the case. He contended that there was abundant evidence to show that the special night work had been done with the knowledge of the defendant, and some of it at his special request. It was also proved that the plaintiff had spent from 15s. to £3 a night in his expenses. Yet the whole of the expenses allowed him by Messrs. Chappell did not exceed ss. a night. As to the special contract depending on the credit the jury gave to the plaintiff, its denial depended on the credit they gave to the defendant. If it was asked who was the plaintiff, he had been an attor ney, and Mr. Chappell had known him for 20 years when he engaged him in this matter as clerk. That was some voucher for his respectability. But who, he asked, was the defendant ? He was a young man who a few years ago might have been said to have probation. the world at his feet—the descendant of an ancien and respected family, with an historic name, and possessed of a princely estate, and what was he now as they had seen him in the witness-box ? If their judgment was to be formed on the existence of this special contract on the respectability of the plain tiff or the defendant, he confidently placed his client in contrast with the defendant. His friend Mr. Kerslake, when speaking of the plaintiff's claim, had spoken of the cloud of vultures ready to pounce on the defendant, circumstanced as he was, and with such an unfortunate notoriety, and that his friends advised him to resist to the utmost such demands as this. Who were his friends ? Were they Mr. Bugg, his attorney? or Mr. Chappell, his late attorney ? Talk of vultures, the plaintiff in his demand was a sparrow hawk compared with the attorneys in whose hands he was. He strenuously insisted that there was reliable evidence of the contract, that the work had been done, and the expenses incurred, and that the plaintiff was entitled to his verdict. His Lordship, in summing up, told the jury there was no question that the plaintiff had received a sum of £275, and whether that sum was treated as a payment or as a set off, the question for the jury was, was it enough reasonably to satisfy the plain tiff's demand, assuming him to have done extra work for the defendant P If they thought it enough, they would find for the defendant. The jury retired, and, on their return, found that the sum the plaintiff had received was sufficient. There was a verdict for the defendant. His Lordship expressed his disapproval of the manner in which the action had been commenced, by causing the defendant's arrest, as a kind of ex tortion which ought not to have been attempted. WELCH V. PASKE. This was an action for a breach of promise of marriage. The defendant pleaded that he did not promise, and that the supposed promise had been obtained from him by fraud when he was drunk. Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Palmer appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., Mr. Joy ce, and Mr. Campbell Foster for the defendant. It appeared from the opening statement of the learned counsel for the plaintiff that the plaintiff was a young person, about 30 years of age, living with her aunt at Croydon, who kept a baker's and confectioner's shop, and that the defendant had been an officer in the army in the East India Company's service. In the year 1861 the plaintiff, while at tending in her aunt's shop, was frequently seen by the defendant, who after asking permission to walk out with her eventually wrote to her making her a promise to marry her, and on the 6th of May, 1861 —" I promise you faithfully you shall be my wife." After this promise the plaintiff had frequently visited him at his lodgings, and once during an illness had taken him some delicacies from the shop. On the Bth of the same month of May the defendant had written to Mr. Dennis, a grocer in Dorking, and a friend of the plaintiff, telling him how much he admired Miss Welch, and asking him to procure a licence for him to marry her and also a wedding ring. Miss Welch had lent the defendant £6 or £7, and shortly after he chose to pay attention to a Miss Slatter, the daughter of a linendraper in Dorking, whom, to the great distress of the plaintiff, he had paraded up and down before her aunt's shop, and had afterwards married Miss Slatter, which had been a heavy blow to the plaintiff. The defendant, he should show, was well off, and niter the death of an aged relative he would come into possession of £2.700 a year. Mrs. Harriet Jones, the aunt of the plaintiff, proved that her niece was about 30 years of age, and sometimes served in her shop, which was a confectioner's. The defendant in March, 1861, was living in Dorking, under the care of a medical man, and in April he came to her shop for almond cakes and French rolls, and asked if Miss Welch was her daughter, and if she might be allowed to take a walk with him some evening. She replied, " No, not with my consent." He asked, " When did she walk out ?" and she told him "sometimes in the afternoon." He afterwards told her that he had proposed to Miss Welch and she had accepted him, and witness told him, " She was old enough to do as she liked." He used to come two or three times a day. He had written a letter to her niece once in her house expressing his " disappointment at not having been able to escort her. Such is life" — and signed "yours ever." Mr. Robinson pointed out that there were six dashes under "ever." Mr. Justice Byles—Do you 'mean this is for ever and something beyond ? (Laughter.) The defendant bad afterwards written the letter containing the promise—" Aly dearest promise you faithfully you shall be my wife. —Yours ever —." This letter her niece had shown to her to satisfy her that the defendant's intentions were honourable. About June the defendant ceased pay ing his visits and married Miss Slatter, the draper's daughter, who was " pretty well as to respectability —middling." (Laughter.) The first time her niece saw the defendant walking past the shop with Mies Slatter she nearly fainted, and was very ill in the autumn in consequence of his neglect.

Fredericia, like Duppel, is strongly fortified, and possesses all the natural advantages which we have already rosieed s pertaining to the latter. With a strong force posted at Fredericia, no invading army c ell ist enter Jutland without incurring considerable risk of fiading its retreat to the South cut off, whilst at the same time the occupation of both Fredericia and Duppel would enable the Danes to attack both in front and relit any army which wus so rash as to enter the northern section of Schleswig.

Such being the present state of affairs, we must continue to watch their progress with the same curiosity as heretofore. Each succeeding day serves only to give birth to new complications. The little Duchy of Laucnburg, which together with Holstein, sent a joint represen tation to the Diet, and which, in the universal hub bub, was generally overlooked, has now been taken under the special protection of the Confederation. Lauenburg, with a loyalty and gallantry which stand in bright relief when compared with the con duct of both Holstein and. Schleswig, refused to de sert its Sovereign, the King of Denmark, in his hour of trial, and could neither be cajoled or bullied into making popular demonstrations in favour of the Duke of Augustenburg. The Diet have now re solved on undertaking the administration of the Duchy, waiving for the present the consideration oa the" title of the two claimants to its sovereignty. At Berlin the semi-official organs of the Government have hastened to disavow the interpretation putupon its intentions by Lord Palmerston in the course of the debate on the Address. Nothing, say they, can be farther from Prussia's intention than to recognise the integrity of Denmark. The announcement cer tainly does not take us by surprise, though it affords a singular illustration of the anxiety which the Prussian nation evince lest they should for a mo ment be supposed capable of acting with good faith. Events are rapidly hastening onward, and the cur tain has just risen on one of probably the most ter rible dramas which have been played out in Europe during the past half century. HERALD.—The old story that when the defend ant had no case the plaintiff's attorney was to be abused, is receiving some kind of illustration in the progress of the Townley case. Sir Georg Grey, being put on his defence for letting Townley escape his proper doom, turns round and lays the blame— not exactly on the lawyer, but on the law itself. When we inquire out of doors " Who took Townley from beneath the gallows," men will point to the Home Office ; but when we consult a Ministerial oracle we are told " It was Mr. Leech, cr Mr. Leech and a bad law that wants mending." If we could persuade the working men of Lambeth that the blame was simply to be shared between a shrewd attorney and a blundering or mischievous act of Parliament, it would be all very well; but the fact is, that the unsophisticated logic of the working classes is not to be eosily persuaded out of its appre ciation of palpable facts. These people know very well that Townley was as sane as Wright, and no less guilty; but they see that the most frantic efforts failed to rescue the latter, while the former was saved from the gallows by a faulty certificate under a permissive act of Parliament. In the case of Wright, we have a tragedy, while in regard to Townley, whose own crime was tragic enough, we have a comedy of errors, followed up by a farce in which Parliament is expected to take its part and keep its countenance. Sir George, having hung a bricklayer and spared a gentleman, comes down to the House of Commoos to set matters right b aending the law. In orden to dislodge the Home Secretary from behind his stai.;_aing-horse it is not necessary to show that he wilfu.'UY favoured the life of Townley because in that case t:.te criminal was a gentleman, or that he left Wright :In the hands of the execu murderer was a brick tioner beceuse the Lambeth . he first place, that v has sufficed to layer: We need only say, in . 4. the conduct of the Home Secrete:. make things present this ugly appetarance- Among the ruder class of men, such an appearatece of things is taken for the reality, and hence the law is brought into disrepute where it is most important that it should be respected. Having, therefore, referred to this deplorable fact, we need only show, in the second place, that if the Home Secre tary had simply been as shrewd as Mr. Leech, ho need not have allowed that gentleman to make him a species of catspaw for pulling the respectable Mr. Townley out of his mortal predicament. In short, we need not undertake to prove that Sir George was intentionally partial in his administration of jus tice. It becomes a statesman not only to mean well but also to do well. The Home Secretary has simply blundered;_ but then the blunder happens to be serious. The Home-office pleads that the law is defective, and to give that plea a semblance of reality Sir George comes down to the house with a measure which is professedly designed to make the law as good as it ought to be. Of course we have no objection to see the law amended, but no alteration in the law will settle the question as to whether or not Sir George " made a mess of it" in dealing:with the affair of Townley. There was an extraordinary want of caution displayed by the Home-office throughout the entire proceedings in the Townley case that it is only a fair inference on the part of the multitude that Sir George was a willing captive in the toils of the prisoner's lawyer. " I could'nt help it," says Sir George. " You didn't try," re spond the populace. And the question does not end here. The Home Secretary has not only to settle accounts with the working men of England, but he has given affront to the country magistracy. Some how or other—and we do not undertake to explain all the mysteries of the Home-office—Sir G. Grey and our municipal institutions do not mix up well together. Whitehall is hostile to the Mansion house, and the fountain of honour is intercepte d from flowing through the precincts ;of the City. Not content with snubbing the Lord Mayor, Sir George has got himself into a wrangle with the Derbyshire magistrates, and bids fair to come to a misunderstanding with local authorities gene rally, excepting, perhaps, the Metropolitan Board of Works, who serve as a very (good foil against the civic corporation. However, Sir George es going to amend the law in relatiou to lunatic criminals, and t'ts doing so be seems to think that he is making matters decidedly leaset. It is to be hoped that:Parliament will not be thus readily diverted fr om dealing with a grave question. The eccentr _cities of the Home- Office call for serious considCrationf e specially when they go to such a length as to weaken the confi dence of the public in the impart: al administration of the law. It is daily felt with haerea sin g for h c t e that the criminal law of England is be.'LIF to a very great extent, under the cont rc ) . l , t, the. ice le is bre o u . g , Home Office. A great constitutional priL 1 the , pious thus placed in danger. Such being state of affairs it is mere tr iflin g to suppose tha.t the simple modification of a statute which has bs'en been made to bear a great deal more blame that belongs to it will settle the real question at issue. It is for Parliament to ask whether the action of the which hhe shall possibility of achieving law is to be made partial a n d unsatisfactory by thems idiosyncracies of a Minister who see t a peculiar pleasure in going out of o experience give his av a w st ay am to ou d n o t stupid e without thing t h hout i an y good. So far as the case h s o o f m a e nn st o u y P a b e fore Parliament it cannot 0 as gone at present said that Sir George Grey has at all improved his • position, although he adopted the strategic movem ent o f a dd ress ing the house before the papers were in the hands of the members—a manoeuvre which Lord Henry Lennox in vain endeavoured did well in to prevent. Mr. M a cdonogh urging that the House should make itself thoroughly acquainted with the existing state of the law, and took the common-sense and only correct view of the case in urging that the existing statute did not d re uce the Home Secretary to a mere automaton, and that therefore, Sir George Grey's first line of defence was altogether untenable. In his other comments on the case Mr. Macdonogh has only echoed the general sentiments of the coun try ; and we venture to say that Sir George Grey never made a greater mistake than when he ex pressed his belief that the course which he had taken was in accordance with public feeling. On this, as on other points, the Home Secretary needs to be enlightened, and we trust Parliament will dispel a little of the mist which has gathered around the official eyes, dant was hying with Dr. Curtis, and had also lunatic brother living in Dorking. The defendant at first used to go to her shop to buy almond cakes twice a day. The first time she saw him he had two pennyworth of almond cakes, and he asked to be allowed to go into the back sitting room to eat them. He had two almond cakes for a penny, so he tto eight almond cakes a day—(laughter)—and sometimes he had two French rolls twice a day. She did not know whether her niece took him port wine when she visited him, or whether the £7 the defendant owed her niece was for port wine. She had brought an action against him to recover that sum. She could not tell when nor where this action was commenced. Francis Head Dennis, grocer, of Dorking, proved having received the letter from the defendant asking him to procure a licence and wedding ring for the defendant on the Bth of May. He did not get them. Mr. Velly, of Chelmsford, the attorney to the trustees under the late Mr. Haylefoot's will, was called to prove the defendant's means and expecta tions wider that will, but this evidence was objected to and rejected. The defendant had changed his name to Haylefoot. It was attempted to put in the Royal licence obtained to change his name, which recited his expectations under Mr. Haylefoot's will, but this was also objected to as a copy and rejected, his Lordship saying, if necessary, he would adjourn the case to give time to obtain the requisite evidence. Mr. Debenham, an attorney, who had served the defendant with a copy of the writ in the action, was called to prove a conversation in which the defen dant said, " They think because I am entitled to a large property they will get something handsome, but they will be disappointed. Mr. Puke was in a great passion, because he had served him with the writ, and said, " His wife was a lady, and in the position of such." (Laughter.) He did not know that this action was a speculation of Mr. Young, the attorney for the plaintiff. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Chambers then summed up, and Mr. Hawkins was proceeding to address the jury, and said this action " was a warning to all gentle men who had a passion for almond cakes"—(a lough)—when the junior counsel, who for some time had been endeavouring to effect an arrangement, at last did so, and Mr. Joyce announced that it had been agreed be between the parties that there should be a verdict for the plaintiff for £2OO damages, the judgment not to be enforced until three months after the death of Mr. Haylefoot, the tenant for life of the property to which the defendant is entitled. Verdict accordingly. Mr. Justice Byles said the plea of fraud ought not to have been pleaded, and had his strong disap- SECOND COURT. :Before Mr, Justice Keating and Common Juries, SHEPHERD V. GARRETT. The whole of Saturday was occupied with the trial of this cause, involving bill transactions of so complicated a nature that even the learned Judge at first expressed his inability to understand the evidence of some of the witnesses. The trial was adjourned at the rising of the Court, and resumed this morning. Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., and Mr. J. Best were for the plaintiff; and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., Mr. Joseph Brown, and Mr. Clover for the defendant. The action was brought by the plaintiff, as en dorsee of a promissory note for £l,OOO, made by the defendant in favour of a Mr. Parker. The main plea was that Parker represented to the defendant that a Mr. Gladstone was under a liability to him Parker, to pay £l,OOO in respect of certain lands of Mr. Gladstone which the defendant and others had agreed to purchase for a railway, and that if the defendant would pay Gladstone £6,000 in part pay ment of the purchase-money of such lands Mr. Gladstone's solicitor, a Mr. Sandilands, would pay the said sum of £l,OOO to Parker, and thereby Par ker induced the defendant to make the note declared on to secure the payment of £l,OOO to the plaintiff, that Mr. Gladstone was not in effect under any lia bility to Parker to pay £l,OOO for lands or other wise, and that there was no consideration for the endorsement or for the payment of the note. The question for the jury was whether the plea was made out to their satisfaction, and the evidence dis closed a state of facts of the most complicated na ture, interesting, however, to no one but the parties concerned in the transactions described. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, POST.—Although the retreat of the Danes from ,he Danewirke has caused but little surprise here, it has excited great consternation and no little commo tion in Copenhagen. Looking on the map at the long line of defences which the Danish army was expected to hold, and having regard to the vast dis proportion existing between the invading and the resisting force, it was almost with a sense of grati fication that we heard that the Danes had to all appearances retired from the unequal strife. In Copenhagen, however, the result is differently viewed. For years the Danish people have been led to believe that the famous fortifications on which .... so much time, and labour, and money have been ex. _ . - - - --- pended, were impregnable, and the intelligence that they have fallen ere the cannon with which they were mounted had delivered a single volley has come upon them with all the weight of a crushing and unexpected blow. The city is in the greatest com motion. Its population are frantically demanding to be led forthwith against the invaders. The Rigs dag in vain demand explanations from the Prime Minister and the Minister of War of the circum- stances which were held to justify the evacuation of the Danewirke, and, in their first burst of indig nation, order the immediate dismissal of their long tried Commander-in-Chief. Unused to their new King, the people in their despair almost fancy that they have been betrayed, forgetful that it is not in the nature of things for a Sovereign to possess an inducement for deserting his people. When it was suggested to the last of the Polish kings, Stanislaus Poniatowski, that he had sold his country to Russia, he replied by the question, " What bribe would you think of of f ering to a king for his crown ?" The vague rumours which have found their way into the French press, that a revolution has taken place in Copenhagen, that the King of Sweden has been proclaimed, and that King Chris tian has taken his departure for England, are without foundation; but the fact that such rumours could for a moment be entertained affords strong evidence of the serious effect produced upon the Danish population by their recent reverses. To them the easy victory of the German forces ap pears utterly inexplicable, and they feel just as we would feel ourselves if, in the event of invasion, a hostile army managed to get to the rear of Ports mouth and so necessitated its evacuation ere a shot was fired. But although the Danes have been obliged to abandon the Danewirke, it would be a great error to suppose that the war in Schleswig is at an end, and that Austria and Prussia may congratulate themselves on having secured possession of that Duchy. This is far from being the case. The Danes have certainly been obliged to leave the entrance to Schleswig free, and to abandon what appeared to us an untenable position ; but they have now retired ' on a line of defences which may with truth be con sidered unassailable. From the telegrams which w e published yest erda y and this mor ning it will be seen that, after evacuating the Danewirke, Danish army retreated by way of Flensburg to Dap einfiddei sa d tie P nl o y B it ion( ) somewhatt a the eastern opposite the island Dup pel, a very stronglyiitmfosmrtat cor°ef3lAasttlisooenfnB' to th eli a l t we P shw o i r eig t h s I ' mouth does to the Isle of the same relation s a Wight. e From this position the Danish a i rmy can threaten n a d s Due f a-ad z: the between German the forces, northern es s ib le is about midway Duchy, can render p i ) t i t southern frontiers of the northernor t portion.hem , except Ind a e t . great oonden ri t s i k y , to o f o t c h c e u— s — trong defences raised around impossible Duppel, the Danish forces will derive an additional protection from their fleet, which will be , enabled from the adjacent fiords to command with its guns the approaches to the Danish position.

This Bank is established in order to meet a want which has long been experienced in Mexica—the want of those assured Banking facilities which have done so much to stimulate the industry and develop the resources of other countries. he field before such an Institution, which Mexico and the South American States pTesent, is most inviting. Its re sources in silver are boundless, while the climate of this wonderful country is such that almost every production of the soil can be cultigated to an extent which can scarcely be imagined. With the hoped-for success which is to be anticipated from the policy of the new Government, Mexico has a great future before her. Money there commands at all times a high re munerative price, ranging from 10 to 18 per cent., and, as the field will be almost free, the Bank will be able to select those securities which are ample and undoubted, on which to make its several advances. It will also constitute a favourable feature of the Mexican Bank that, as a strong London Institution, which has already secured to itself promise of the support of influential Mexi can and South American houses, it will command the confi dence of local depositors, who are at the present tine in the hands of private money-dealers, but who, so soon as such a Banking Institution is established in their midst, will lose no time in transferring considerable deposits to such esta blishment, as offering a security, ample and sufficient, which the private money-dealers there do not afford. The Mexican Bank will commence its operations in Mexico, and the magnitude of the field there may be estimated by the subjoined statistics:— Imports i f silver into Great Britain from Mexico and South America (except Brazil), for toe eleven months ending November 30, 1863 ........ £5,678,913 Imports of gold ditto ditto 3,493,914 'the exports from this country, consisting of Manchester goods and other ~r itish manufactures, are very considerable; and this trade will no doubt be extensively augmented as the empire becomes consolidated and the confidence of merchants in the stability of the Government is secured. The Directors of the Mexican Bank will also establish a Branch in Valparaiso, the great commercial sea port of Chili, and where the want of the facilities which such an institu tion could afford is much experienced by English and Ameri can, as well as the native mercantile firms, carrying on the great trade of that important territory. Arrangements are in contemplation for the incorporation of an existing successful Banking Institution with the Mexi can Bank. No promotion money will begiven in the establishment of the Mexican Bank, preliminary expenses to be confined to necessary disbursements. The remuneration of the Directors left to the Share holders.

The number of hands employed on it will consequently be increased. Lord Cla rence Paget, M.P., First Secretary to the Admiralty Board, accompanied by Mr. Reed, Chief Constructor of the Navy, yesterday visited Woolwich dockyard, and spent a consider able time in the inspection of the Pallas.

The Tribune was expected to sail again from Honolulu about the 15th Oct. for Valparaiso and Panama. The Death of the Actuary of the Camden Town Savin gs Bank, Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankester, coroner for Centra l . Middlesex, held an inquest at the Elephant and Castle, King's-road, Camden Town, on the body of Mr. Phillip Nuthall King, aged 49, late actuary to the Camden Town Savings Bank. It appears that in consequence of the deceased's recent habits the suspicions of the committee conducting the Cam den Town Savings Bank had been aroused, and on Tuesday evening last they held a meeting, when they di sco vered that the actuary had been guilty of fo rgery an d em b e zzlement to the amount of about £ BOO . So satisfied were they of the fact, that they at once resolved to give deceased into custody. On Cook, a detective constable, going to his house in Ilamilton-street he found both the deceased and his wife intoxication, the latter lying on the sofa. i deceased dwith what he was charged, and took him to Platt - street station - house, wh ere his manner Ie in tolda state the of was so strange that Mr. Webb, assistant to Dr. Sutherin, the divisional surgeon, was sent for, a n d, as d escr ib e d i n hi s e vidence, he found him uproariously drunk, but discovered he had got paralysis o f the right side, Th e po li ce , by hi s directions, ma de him up a Led in front of the fire, and gave him some hot coffee. He sew him again at five the next morning, when, althoug h sensible, he appeared very ill, and, instead of being taken before the magistrate, was sent to the infirmary, where ho died on Thursday. The widow of the deceased, who behaved very strangely while before the coroner, and kept flourishing her hands (which were covered with massive rings) about, attributed his death to what she called " the illegal conduct of the police in taking her husband into custody. ,, Mr. Saul, the infirmary surgeon, said when deceased was brought there he was in a comatose state, suffering from apoplectic symptoms. Every possible re m edy was ap plied, but he died the following day, Death had, in his opinion, resulted from apoplexy induced by excessive drink ing. Ho being taken into custody might have had some effect in accelerating it. Mr. Edward Ingpen, a director of the savings bank, said in answer to a question, that the committee were induced to give deceased into custody, .as they had a clear case of for gery and embezzlement against him to about £BOO. It was wished to be stated that the depositors would not suffer a penny loss, as the bond for deceased would be paid, and the committee make up the balance.
