lIONEy - MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In pursuance of a resolution by the committee, the Stock Exchange markets have been shut to day, the whole of the establishment having been given up to the workmen to complete the repairs Which are now going on. The Money Market to-day appears to have lost none of the activity and firmness noticed since the commencement of the week. The inquiry for a Saturday is brisk, and 4 per cent. is the general charge for three months' bills. There was a slight upward movement in the rates of exchange yesterday afternoon oa St. Petersburg and Hamburg. Since Monday last the imports of specie have anounted to £131,600, and the exports to 1174,700. YESTERDAY. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. Bank 3 per C ent. Reduced Annuities Per Cent.

Had he done so he would, indeed, have been a great artiste—we are almost tempted to say a wonder — hot, like those who have gone before him, he i trust, f or the present, be content with the t apression his abilities hav e made ; and, although he has not succeeded in taking t h e town by storm hY the intensity of his acting, he has created in the b linds of many a very favourable op i nion as to his k eritb as a tragedian.

It appears that the prisoner had been in the employ of Mr. Ravenshear, as porter, for soome months, and in con sequence of Mr. Ravenshear having missed money for about a month past, he communicated with Sergeant Cole, 23 C, and by his instructions marked a quantity of copper money and placed it in the till. The prisoner, who sleeps in the parlour adjoining the shop, was, on Mr. Ravenshear retiring to bed, locked as usual in the parlour, Mr. Ravenshear taking the key upstairs with him. The next morning, on Mr. Ravenshear coming down, he missed about half the money he had marked from the till, and called in Sergeant Cole, who, on asking the pc i- Boner what he hag got in his pocket, turned out some money, saying it was all he had, but on the sergeant search. ing him he found more, which, as well as chat prisoner had handed over, was part of the marked money. The prisoner then admitted taking the money, but begged not to be locked up. A most remarkable feature of the casowas that the sergeant was unable to ascertain by what means the prisoner was enabled to unlock the door and relock it, no key being found in his possession or about the place. Mr. Knox said it was a kind of robbery which showed that it was not the prisoner's first offence, and as masters must be protected, he should commit the prisoner for three months' hard labour.

Two youths, named Michael Morrison and Michael Clarke, aged respectively 17 and 16, were yesterday committed by the coroner of the county of Mayo to stand their trial at the next assizes for the murder of Lawrence Connell, an acting-con stable of the constabulary force. The fatal outrage was committed on the 27th of July, but the unfor tunate man lingered until last Sunday evening. From his dying depositions and the evidence of witnesses it appeared that as he was proceeding through the streets of Castlebar to his lodgings, at one o'clock in the morning, he was accosted by the two prisoners, who addressed some insolent remark to him. Not being on duty he took no notice of them and walked on, but they followed him, per sisting in their endeavours to pick a quarrel with him. At last, at a lonely part of the street, both sprang upon him, threw him down and kicked him violently. They then ran off, and he went to a house that he had left a short time previously, but while he was knocking at the door they returned, and Morrison stabbed him in the neck with a large clasp knife. Clarke at the same moment knocked him down, and then Morrison knelt on his chest and stabbed him three or four times, while Clarke kicked him about the ribs and stomach. He tried to draw his sword, but was unable to do so. Having satisfied their vengeance they went away, and he was soon afterwards conveyed to the infirmary ; where, after five weeks of intense suffering, he died, as above stated, on the 30th ult. The knife with which the murderous deed was committed was found within a few paces of the spot, and the prisoners were arrested next morning. The jury found Mor rison guilty of wilful murder, and Clarke of aiding and abetting. The prisoners appear to have been instigated solely by indiscrimivating hatred towards all officers of justice, as it does not appear that they had any cause for personal enmity towards their victim. They had spent the previous day (Sunday) at one of those scenes of superstition, riot, and dis sipation called " patterns," and had taken some drink, but were not intoxicated. MARKETS—This Day.

JACK SHEPPARD IN DIFFICULTIES—John Sheppard was charged with robbing an aged Chelsea pensioner of sd. Patrick Pursell, the prosecutor, said that yesterday afternoon he went to the Chelsea pensioners' public-house near the College and called for a pint of ale, for which ho paid 3d., receiving change of a shilling. He deposited this with 2d. worth of halfpence in a handkerchief, which he tied up and placed in his cap, but he was a long while in doing this owing to his fingers all being crooked with rheumat ism. Suddenly the prisoner, who was sitting near him at the public • house, took a great fancy to the pattern of the handkerchief, and laid hold of it, as he said, to examine it, Prosecutor thought he wanted to take his money, and laid hold of the handkerchief, but the prisoner pulled it from him, and in so doing a sixpence fell on the ground. Pro secutor watched it rolling, and while he was recover ing it the prisoner took his halfpence from the handkerchief. Prosecutor asked him to restore them, but he refused, and said he had not got them, and a policeman was then called and prisoner given into custody. Prose cutor said his pension was very small, and fivepence was a large sum to him. Mr. Selfe asked whether the halfpence were found ? Prosecutor replied that they were not. There was a man present, " a chum" of the prisoner's, who might have had the halfpence passed to him. The accused denied the charge in Coto, and said it was not likely that he should rob a poor Chelsea pensioner. _ _ The constable who took the prisoner said that bath he and the prosecutor were sober. The man spoken of as pri soner's " chum" was now present. The man was examined, and said he knew nothing about any halfpence. - . Mr. Selfe asked if anything was known of the prisoner? The constable said no. Mr. Selfe said he should remand the prisoner upon his own recognisances to appear again. THAMES. THE FALSE FRIEND.—A CRUEL ROTHIERY.—George Robert Robson, a seaman, was brought before Mr. Part ridge charged with Stealing a bag filled with clothes, the property of Charles Frederick Allen, of No. 41, Coleman street, City. It appeared that the prisoner, a coarse lookieg fellow, about 30 years of age, with beard and moustache, who looked very much unlike what he represented himself to be, had been lodging in the house of the prosecutor's father in Coleman-street, and represented that he was going away in the ship John Davis. The prosecutor was anxious to go to sea, and the prisoner said he could get him a birth as steward in the same vessel, and they might as well go away together. The prosecutor, on the faith of the representations, provided himself with an outfit, consisting of two coats, two waistcoats, seven shirts, two flannel shirts, two pairs of trousers, six pairs of socks, two pairs of drawers, five neck-ties, a blanket rug, brushes, razor, and other articles. The whole of the prosecutor's " kit " was deposited in a largo canvas bag. A few days since the prosecutor bade farewell to his father and friends, and started from the City for the West India Dock, where the John Davis was said to be ready for sea. The prisoner took the prosecutor to the house of a man named Gilpin, Narrow-street, Ratcliffe, where Allen was advised to leave his bag of clothes while they went to the shipping office to sign articles of agree ment. On reaching the shipping office it was ascertained that the John Davis was not ready for sea, or at least it was so represented by the prisoner, who then took his friend to the Jolly Caulkers, a house of public entertainment on the Surrey side of the river, where they remained for three days, and all that time the prisoner lived at the ex pense of his friend. On Sunday afternoon last the prose cutor gave the prisoner some money to buy a mattress. The prisoner never returned with the money or the mattress, but on the same afternoon the prisoner called upon Gilpin and demanded the bag of clothes and a concertina which Allen left there on the previous Thursday, and said the bag and concertina belong to me. He also said Charley, meaning the prosecutor, has shipped and gone to sea. Gil pin delivered the clothes and concertina to the prisoner who was not seen again until yesterday afternoon when the pro secutor's father met the prisoner on Snow-hill and gave him into custody of a city police, named Edwin Rouse, No. 505, who said to him "No that can't, I have just come from Gravesend." The constable insisted on securing the prisoner, who said, " Well, I did take the bag of clothes and the concertina, and lost them all." Thomas Gilpin and Mary Ahearn proved the delivery of the bag and its contents to Robson, who turned out all the clothes and counted every article. Mr. Partridge thought the prosecutor had acted with con siderable imprudence. Allen—Well, sir, I am not a suspicious man, and I thought the prisoner was an honest man and would not rob me. I have lost everything. Mr. Partridge was sorry the prosecutor's confidence in the prisoner was so very sadly abused. Ho remanded the prisoner for a week, and directed Rouse to make inquiries about the prisoner, who was a disgrace to the blue jacket. --- Dreadful Tragedy near Coventry. Much excitement has been created in the vil lage of Filler gley, near Coventry, by a very shock ing tragedy which has just occurred there. Dur ing last week, rumours were in circulation res pecting the death of a young woman, named Jane Dalby, the wife of a labourer residing in the vil lage ; and certain information having reached the ears of the rural police officer, an inquest was opened on the body by Mr. Alfred Carter, coroner, on Wednesday week, at the Weaver's Arms, Fil longley. The husband of the deceased then gave evidence to the effect that on the previous Sa turday, on going home from work, at about half-past seven in the evening, he found his wife seriously ill. She requested him to go for Mr. La Fargue, a surgeon, who had been attending her during the previous fortnight. She complained of great pain in her left side and in her back. Before going to the medical man he locked the door after him, leaving his wife in bed. When he came back, having calied on his wife's mother on the way, he found the doctor had just arrived, and was waiting to be admitted. He tried but could not unlock the door, the button which fastened the latch from within having slipped down or been placed down, so as to prevent the door being opened. The door was burst open, and they went up stairs and found the de ceased lying dead by the side of the bed. Police constable Pittaway produced two bottles—one con taining a small quant i ty o f l a udanum, which the husband said h e took for hi s co mplaint, and th e other a lotion, which he said he rubbed his side with. After thi s ev id ence ha d b ee n taken the in quest was adjourned till Thursday. On the fol lowing Sunday th e h us b and wen t to church, and after the servi ce to t h e house of his mother-in-law, where he swallowed a quantity of prussic acid, which caused almost instant death. A letter written by the deceased man was subse quently found, in which se stated that his wife had died from the effects of poison, which he had in duced her to take, and that he had promised to " join her at the Throne of Grace on that day week." A post tnortem examination will be made on the bodies.—Birmingham Daily Post. The name of Bohea, by which the tea grown in this province is known, is simply a corruption of the name Woo-he, and the various distinctions assigned by commerce to different kinds of tea are said to have chiefly originated with the Canton merchants, all the terms we are so familiar with, such as " Congo," Souchong," "Flowery Pekoe," " Hyson," and " Gunpowder," being quite un known to the native growers. " Imperial," or " Yu-tien," is the only exception, I believe ; and this, which is only served on occasions of great ceremony, consists of the young leaves of (not any rare sorts) the tea plant, and is the same tea as that mentioned by Du Halde, and called by hi m " Mao-tcha," formerly stated to have been kept entirely for the emperor. The departure of the Emperor Napoleon for Biarritz is fixed for September 10. The Charentais of Angoulome has the following Montijo. :—" The Empress and the Prince Imp er i a l arr i ve d h e re at a quarter past six on Mon day evening..

For these few days past Queen Bertha has been a little on the decline ; nine 50's were offered against her without bringing any of her admirers to the rescue. The feature of the day was the support given to Golden Pledge and Borealis, who were each rather freely supported at their respective quotations. Closing prices:— ST.

Count de Lagrange was the successful competitor of the day, winning the Favourite with Gentilhomme against Count de Demi doff' s Blanchette; the Foret Noire, with Reine Berthe against Duke de Caderousse's Volta ; the Thetzheim, with Villafranca against Arenjamin, also his own horse; and the Rastadt, with Semiramis against M. Vazier's Bright. The Continental, of 10,000 f., was won by M. Delamarre's Conquete, Count Henckel's Giles the First being second. The fields were numerous. CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.—Mr. Nelson Lee will henceforth assume the sole management of this theatre, with which he has been so long honourably connected, the continued illness of his previous coadjutor, Mr. Johnson, having rendered it necessary to dissolve a partnership which has lasted unbroken for 26 years. Mr. Nelson Lee, thus taking the managerial reins in his own hands, has renewed the lease for a lengthened period, and is now making extensive preparations for the winter season. The company will be strengthened by the acquisition of several great provincial favourites, amongst them a clever comedian, new to the metropolitan boards, and some im portant novelties will be brought forward to sustain the business until Christmas, when one of the fertile manager's pantomimes will be produced on a scale of unusual splen dour.—Era. THE CONDEMNED MURDERERS AT KIRKDALE.— I So far as at present appears there will be a quad ruple execution at Kirkdale on Saturday. From inquiries made at the gaol yesterday, it appears that Alvarez, the Spanish sailor (condemned for the murder of James Harrison, in Liverpool) cannot be brought to realise the terrible fact that his life has been forfeited, and he resolutely declares that he will not be hung. O'Brien, on the other hand, who murdered the keeper of a house of ill fame, in Freston-street, Liverpool, is preparing himself devoutly for the change which awaits him, and both men are diligently attended by clergymen from the Mount Vernon Catholic Institute. The other con demned men, Benjamin Thomas and John Hughes, are Protestants, and are ministered to by the Rev. Mr. Appleton, the gaol chaplain. Hughes (sentenced for the murder of his wife) appears truly repentant, a nd pre pared, so far as appearances indicate, to meet his fate. He still declares, however, that he had no previous in tention of maltreating the deceased. No reply has yet been received from the petition numerously signed on his behalf, and praying that his sentence may be commuted, which has been forwarded during the week to the Secretary of State. Thomas, who on his trial, and for come time after, was very violent, has moderated in his behaviour, but though he pays some at tention to what is said to him by the chaplain, he is by no means in a very desirable state of mind. Benyon, the girl condemned for the murder of her child, will not be exe cuted, though what form the commutation will take is not yet known, VEGETABLES.

INDIA. By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re ceived files of papers from Bombay to the 9th of August. We take the following from the Bombay Gazette of the 9th of August : The English mail of the 3d of July arrived in Bombay on the morning of the 23d idem. The total time occupied in transit from London was 19 days and 11 hours, the quickest passage ever made from London to Bombay. Our latest London telegrams are under date 15th July. The Governor-General has recovered his health. His Ex cellency and Lady Elgin are staying at Chinee, in Thibet, Lord Daihousie's favourite place of residence. On return to Simla, his Excellency will proc"od to Lahore, and thence to Peshawar, where it is expected he will have an interview with the Ameer of Cabool or his envoy. Th e return march from Peshawar will occupy the interval to January, when the Council of India will re-assemble, and the Punjab Ex hibition open, both at Lahore. The Governor of Bombay is at Poona, where the Legis lative Councitis now holding its meetings. His Excellency held a conference of Executive Engineers at Poona on the 31st of July for the consideration of numerous public works in different parts of the Presidency, to be entered in the Budget. The Governor of Madras is laid up with an attack of fever at Oosoor. The Government of Bombay has appointed a Commis sion, consisting of Mr. Hart, Revenue Commissioner, Southern Division; Mr. Ellis, Revenue Commissioner, Northern Division; and Colonel Pottinger, Commissary - General, to report upon the changes which have taken place during the last 40 years in the prices of principal arti cles of provision, and the wages of labour, both skilled and unskilled, and also in house rents, at the principal towns of the Presidency. The information is required by Govern ment with the view of raising the salaries of certain classes of Government servants. The Act for the re-incorporation and re-constitution of the Bank of Bombay, passed by the Bombay Legislative Council on the 24th March last, received the assent of the Governor-General on the 4th July. A camp of exercise, it is said, will assemble at Lahore early in the ensuing cold weather, and an army of observa tion at Peshawur. It is more than probable that these forces will have something to do. Disturbances seem almost unavoidable in Cabool. " There are three parties in Affghanistan. The first con sists of Shere Ali Khan, the new Ameer, and his brother Mahomed Sherif Khan. The second is composed of the two sons of the famous Akbar Khan—Futteh Mahomed Khan and Jullaloodeen Khan. The third is led by Mahomed Azim Khan, Mahomed Asian Khan, mad Mahomed Osman Khan. To these must be added the Persians as a fourth element in the comingstruggle. The Shah of Persia has an army of 45,000 men in the vicinity of Meshed ; but he has made no attempt yet to re gain Herat. Mahomed Azim Khan, son of the late Ameer Dost Mahomed, who has hitherto ruled the Ameer's provinces of Koorrum and Khost, the former of which adjoins the British territory of Upper Meerunzye, from which it is only sepa rated by the Koorrum river, had by last accounts taken his departure towards Cabool with all his followers, leaving a very slender garrison in the fort of Khost. It remains to be seen how this may affect our frontier politics. The King of Bokhara has taken Kokan, and written to the officers commanding the Russian troops in Agha Mus jed, Burkarak, and Huzrat Sooltan, to vacate those forts, as they belonged to Kokan. The Russians have vacated the fort of Agha Musjed for the present. " It is confidently stated that Poona is to be one of the residencies of the Governor General of India. Orders are said to have been received to begin the erection of a Go vernment House for his Excellency's accommodation. " The British India Steam Navigation Company com mence their new contract mail service between Bombay and Calcutta on Sept. 15 next, and will continue it monthly. The steamer will call at Mangalore, Cannanore, Calicut or Beypoor, Cochin and Tuticorin, and also at Rutnagherry, Vingorla, Goa, Sudashewghur and Colombo. On the eastern coast they will call at Bimlipatam, Coconada, Madras and Tuticorin, and, with permission, at False Point, Poonie, Ganjam, Masulipatam, Pondicherry, and Negapatam. The Resident at Baroda has detected a conspiracy against the Guicowar, headed by his highness's brother, who has been placed in arrest. Sir Hope Grant has recommended the introduction of the Zouave uniform for the Madras native army, and the pro position is now under the consideration of the Government of India. The famous Baiza Bai, grandmother of the present Ma harajah of Gwalior, is dead. Her immense wealth will fall to the Maharajah. Sir C. Trevelyan has under consideration the abolition of the Land Revenue Branch of the office of the Deputy Auditor and Accountant-General of Bengal, and the compilation in future of the revenue accounts by the Board of Revenue. The attempt to increase the growth of cotton in the My sore territory Ly the free distribution of seed, and the offer of priz,s for its cultivation, has proved a failure, there being no competitors for the rewards. The laudable endeavours of the Government have therefore ended in disappointment. The excessive and continuous rain has ruined the pro spects of the cotton crops in the Agra districts. The grain crop, which in some places has been sown three times over, is all but destroyed. The rain has been very propitious in Berar, and three fourths of the Khurreef crop this season consists of cotton. The grain crops in the district will not suffice even for local consumption. Cholera was raging at latest dates in Lucknow, Allaha bad, Benares, and other places in the North-west. It is now a matter of doubt generally whether the man captured at Ajmere is the Nana Sahib of Bhitoor. The latest news regarding hiw, however, is that a squadron of the Inniskilling Dragoons from Mhow, and two companies of the 28th Europeans from Nusseerabad, are to escort the Prisoner to Agra; Captain Carrell, of the Ajmere Police, going in political charge. Severe shocks of earthquake have been experienced at Shrinaghur, in Cashmere. The iron ship Dowthorjee was wrecked three miles south of Booree on the 13th of July. All hands saved. Cargo, consisting of railway machinery, lost. The fall of rain in Bombay for the week ending 26th of July was 9.82 inches ; for the week ending Ist of August, 1.97 inches; total fall to Ist of August, 58'31 inches. The health of the town and island of Bombay has some what improved, but the mortality is still far above the average of past 10 years. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Times of India of 9th August.) Money continues easy. The Bank's rates are unchanged. . - Exchange is slightly more in favour of sellers. We quote Bank -bills at 2s 7-16 d, Credits at 2s 9-led, and Docu ments at 2s 11-16 d to 2s Old. The business transacted has not been large. Government Paper—The market has been dull. We quote Fours, 99ir ; Fives, 109 r; and Five-and- a -Half, 118 r. Imports—Early in the fortnight there was rather more activity apparent in the native gray goods bazaar, and several purchases were made by Indore buyers in anticipa tion of the opening of the season. The demand was not sufficiently extensive to be felt by importers, and latter:y has almost entirely died away. Again, the only business now doing being for the Deccan, 7 and 8/Ib. 40 in. shirtings and 32in. Madapollams have consequently slightly given way; while other descriptions, of which supplies continue to arrive on an exceedingly small scale, maintain their former values. There has been nothing like any pressure to sell on the part of holders; and although the latest ac counts from America are, perhaps, more significant than any previously received, confidence does not seem to have been shaken, although importers are quite ready to meat the market when they can get fair rates. The state of the Manchester market would seem to show that, for some time to come at least, shipments are likely to be on a more moderate scale than recently. In commenting on the statement of stock of cotton goods in Calcutta lately made up, and comparing it with the clearances and imports dur ing the six months ending the 30th of June, the Bengal Chamber of Commerce arrives at the conclusion that con sumption, or as it is more correctly expressed, " the power of purchasing," has not been so much affected as many were inclined to suppose it would. No such statement of stock is compiled here, and under present circumstances to do so would be very difficult ; but when the unprecedented pro sperity of this presidency is taken into account it may cer tainly be argued that consumption hero has not hitherto been, nor is likely in future to be, on a smaller scale rela tively than in the districts which draw their sup7lies from Calcutta. HUNTING FOR DIAMONDS.—A day or two ago, a traveller laid down a parcel of diamonds in a trades man's shop, in one of the western towns of Cornwall. A lady, with four parcels, was at the moment; leaving for the north of England. In the haste, the parcel of diamonds was given to her as her own, and she set off for Plymouth. As soon as the error was discovered, a telegram was sent on to the station master, where the train was then stopping, and a reply paid for. The request was to inquire fore a lady of a certain name in a second class carriage. The answer did not come in one hour, when another telegram was sent, but no reply was furnished. Again, after two hours, a third telegram was sent ; and, after waiting five hours and a half, an answer was made to the first telegram. In consequence of this prompt attention of the station master, two gentle men had to go to Plymouth in search of the case of dia monds, worth from £9OO to £1,000. Western Morning News. THE MALTON TREASURE TROVE.—It will be remembered that a few months ago a deposit of silver coins of Edward I. and 111. was found in an old horn, at Malton. A claim to them was put in on the part of the Crown as treasure trove, and the coins were forwarded to the Treasury, with a view to deposit them in the British Museum. A plan for their local distribution was also suggested by the previous owner, or bolder, and it is at length ordered by the Lords of the Treasury that the coins be returned to Melton, with permission on the part of her Majesty for the holder to dis pose of them as he sees proper. A portion is des tined for the Yorkshire Museum; the rest for pri vate collections. The Great Campden House Case. (From the Law limes of to•day.) The great Insurance case has ended in a verdict for the plaintiff. At the close of the examination of Mr. Woolley, it was manifest that such must be the issue. He told a plain story, not improbable in itself, and he was wholly unshaken on cross-exami nation. Unless the case of the insurance offices was very much stronger upon their briefs than it came ont on the evidence, it is difficult to imagine how their legal advisers could have recommended such a defence upon such slender materials. They should have known that nothing short of the clearest proof would have sufficed to secure a verdict, where the defence rested upon a charge so serious. The jury would not have been justified in finding for the offices upon any case less than that upon which they wovld have convicted plaintiff' of arson and attempt to murder, had he been on his trial for those crimes. In fact, save for the consequences, he was in the same plight as if he had stood in the dock ; his cha racter was equally at stake. A verdict against hail would have been virtually a conviction for arson. Some of the newspapers have been loud in reproaches of the companies for resisting the Claim- It was certainly must unwise to do so, unless they had been armed with very much stronger proof of the asserted crime. But we must except to the dangerous doctrine put forward by the limes, that policies of insurance should be excepted from the law of fraud, and that the offices should pay them under any circumstances, save in the case of arson in fire policies and of murder or suicide in life policies. Baron Bramwell refuted the first fallacy in his clear and able summing up of the case, in which not merely did he recognise the right of insurance offices to resist fraud —or that which they believe to be fraud—bat he pointed out the danger to the community if they were not to do so. " Consider," he said, " the consequences that must ensue if the companies were to say, ' We will pay claims which we believe have originated in fraud rather than discredit ourselves with the pub lie; Gentleman, if they were to take that course it would speedily come to this, that no man would be safe in his bed for fear lest bis neighbour, certain of impunity, might set fire to his house in order to defraud an insurance company. It would be a down right iniquity if offices were to pay claims which they believe have arisen out of crime. It would render it necessary that the matter should be taken out of their hands and intrusted to some office on the part of the public. It is an undoubted fact that life and fire insurances have been converted into a means and motive of crime." The principle so broadly asserted by the .Times goes to this—that if by any amount of fraud, by false statements, by concealment of facts, by perso nation, or any of the many other tricks by which insurance offices are daily imposed upon, and which no vigilance on their parts can possibly detect by anticipation, nor until the event happens that reveals the fraud, a rogue succeeds in obtaining a policy, he is to enjoy the fruits of his crime and triumph in his wickedness. This would be indeed to offer a premium for fraud, and to propagate crime by that surest of all promoters of it, the example of successful knavery. It is the duty of companies no less than of individuals to resist fraud whenever they have just reason to believe that a fraud has been committed. A fire insurance office is bound to do so for the reason pointed out by Baron Bram well, that, if it were not to resist it, every man's life and property would be in jeopardy from his neighbour, whom poverty and impunity might tempt to save himself from ruin by robbing the in surance office. A life insurance office is equally bound to resist a fraud, because the losses caused by the fraud must fall upon the honest insurers, and if the offices did not resist, frauds would certainly multiply until the innocent policy-holders were de prived of all their gains. The resistance to Mr. Woolley's claim was a grave mistake, but it affords no argument for the doctrine that has been founded upon it by the Times and some other journals, that insurances offices should submit to any frauds save those accomplished by arson, murder, or suicide.
