A writer in Notes dod ;mai,' advances a singular
subject :
" It is C 0111111,1117 believed that we English, Or at least
the Mercian part of us, were urea, fair-haired people, but
that for Anne reason the hair has become darker each
succeeding generation for a long time pa.st. I know not
whether this be no, nor am I able to suggest any means
of nettling the question. Assuming, however, that an
increasing darkness in the hair be proved, I have heard it
suggested that it may bare come alsint by our habit of
drinking tea. Tea taken in large quantities will, says a
scientific friend of mine, darken the complexion, and
therefore probably the hair. I should like to know
whether this he mere dreaming, or whether there be truth
i therein."

The +novae of the turf may be fairly ganged by the
fact that on the day pia Violl4 to the race for the City
and Suburban, some person who was anxious to send
Julius cmaar back in the betting, sent a teleratn to
the Clerk of the C..nrse ordering -him to scratch Julius

borough te.lioe, charged with swindling.
Mr. M''eston proaecutel and Mr. Howard defended.
The flint case taken was that of Mr. Frost, of the
King's Arms.
Mr. Weston, in opening the case, said the pri.smer

respectable farmer and cattle dealer, and he had hail

Harding. Mayo, and Ibike. On Friday, 2n.1 of
March, the prisoner was at Basingstoke, and left in
the evening, coming down to Dorchester by the three
o'clock mail in the morning. On the next afternoon,
time Satunlay-Mr. Duke happened to g:, into the
King's Arms, and the young man (the prisoner) pro-
bably bearing lii,, name, made enquiries, and Intros
duce.l himself to him. The came course was also
pursued in reference to Mr. Harding and that gentle-
num.in emanequence of knowing the prisoner's father
so well, ree..;niael him, and consopiently the prisoner
then acquired a feces *fedi, which he would not other-
wise have acquired. In the connst of the day he
informed Mr. Harding he had never !peen to Wey-
mouth and he would rather like to go. Accordingly
on the next day Mr. Harding went with him, and the
prisoner asked him to pay the expenses an lie had no
change. When they came back in the evening the
prisoner Kahl to Mr. Harding " I suppolse what I have
cost yon is about as., if you will let me have 17.5. twee
that will make it a pound. I never like to draw a
cheque for less than that." Mr. Harding accordingly
gave the ',Homer 1r.., ati.l in return he drew hint a
cheque on the Bristol branch of the London and
Sonth-Weatern Bank for Li. It was preeente.l, and
he (Mr. Weston) need hardly sac, didionoured. On
the following Monday Mr. Madill; aral the prisoner
were taking a walk round by the prison, and he then
enquired if that was the jail ; further on in the cour-e
of the walk he maw 'lonic cows, which Mr. liarffing told
him belonged to Mr. Mayo. Ile expres,eil his admica-
tion of them, and Kahl he always did like Devon cows,
and asked who Mr. Mayo was-was it that "Mr.
May:. my father bnys his lambs of, as if no I should
like to see him.- Further on the prisoner's attention
was attracted to'a .1 lt. woes -these also belonged
to Mr. May and when he arrived with Mr. Harding at ,
that gentleman's residence, he with only too AtlXilelli to
buy one ..f them. And Melee I in deal was stibeequently
nook the pria 'tier purchasing a horse for C7O. For
this lie gave Mr. Mayo a cheque, and noticing that me.
Mayo looked at it, he sai.l "Oh yen, perhaps you had
better kesp the hope until my cheque is honoured."
Mr. Mayo had not parted' with the horse. On the
Tuesday,- the lei...owe went to Mr. Flied and
called tor his 11.11, which amountesl to f. 2 (Is. 101. For
this he gave a elt...pto for 1:2 10e., awl a, his friends

men: helmi in hix p .saession was a tette! front the
Messrs. Ripley requesting him not to sen.l any more
cheques to them as the last two had been ilishriminteil,
and lie was bringing them into disgrace with their ,
bankers. There were also letters in which he mid his
wished to get away abroad before hie wherealmits
were known, also letters from Messrs. Ripley caution-
ing him as to giving ehesetes an.l other letters, telling
him to be careful how he wrote as the authorities at

Weston) thought if be produced evidence to that effect
It would be :sufficient to justify the Bench in sending
the prisoner for trial at the Sessions. .Mr. Weston

Mr. G. Frost, of the Ames Hotel, mid lie knew
the prisoner IT sight lie eame to his house on the morn-
ing of :lie 3ril of March, almit three in the morning, off
the mail train. The Sri was a Sato rilay -the market day.
Mr. Duke, of Wiselisford, and Mr. .1. Harding. were loth
at his house on that day. Ile said the ivisoner, with the
latter, during that time. The prisoner stayed at his hotel
until Tumilay the sixth ; but on the Monday he sans
I absent. On Twat my he asked for his bill, and the clerk
of the hotel made it out for him, and the prisoner then
gave in cheque for .t 2 lift, the amount of the bill hieing
4,1 On. 10.1., the difference by his sanction tieing given.
! Ile, on the following Thursday, paid it into Messrs.
I William's hank, and it was sul.equently returned with an
I endorsement intimating 'Ti,, etleets." He hail not seen
the prisoner until in custody last saturlay week.
Mr. Howard did not croasexamine this witness.
I Frederick John Lime, formerly a waiter at the Kings*
I Arms, Dorehesier, but. now residing at Bristol,
I remembered the prisoner being at the Kings' Arms on the
3rd Starch. Ile first saw I on the Saturday, and her
1 (the prisoner) remained there until the 11th of March, when
he called for his bill, and he (the witness) Melt it to him.
He did not give cash for it but a cheijne in the usual way
that gentlemen do,- asking him to take it out into the
bar awl get it cashed. Ile did this, and the change Ot 24.
was given him by Miss Lawes, which he handed to the
prisoner, who then left.
Neither did Mr. Howard put any questions to this
witness.
Mr. Herbert H. Hodge, the manacer of the London and
South Western branch hank, at Bristol, said some time in
January of thin year the prisoner opened an account at their
hank, when he placed Alt to his credit. Solisequently he
drew it out in three cheques £5 Ale and £l5 respectively.

cheque in favour of hitmelf for 1:10 was drawn on the 13th,
another in favour of Davis on the Nth ant Sr.), al., in
favour of himself iin the elth. That exhausted his credit.
The cheime.lseik prmlneeil was one issued from their lank
mil it was one whieh wai given to the prisoner, and for
it he paid, at the time he opened the account. The prisoner
had not the slightest reason to believe he would be
allowed to overdraw Ins account. The cheque given
to Mr. Frost had been sent to the bank and returned
as dishonoured. He hat written to the prisoner
two letters re.,uesting him to return Ida cheque-lmik as

said he supposed there would lei no objeetion if he over-

(witness) made no remark. On Mareh 13th the bank
received from the head office in London a credit of
xi I jot which was charged to the account if the
piisofier ac a che,,ue payable to Ripley. There had been
previously a correspondence trj in; to trace this amount,
as the defendant had alleged he hag r.. 1 in a cheque into
the Cheltenham liraneh of the Imam Ibr £lll.
Mr. }toward: And if this cheque for £1.5 had cones oil
it would have been sefficient to have paid all these cheques
except the Ime for £7O.
Witness That I can't say. `

cheque for I:15 was paid into this man's account at the

Mr. Howard : Ti simplify matters I would state that

taken place between the prisoner and the hank. At no
time had he ever had more than AM to his credit.
And assuming that he had 'Eisen a cheque for £7O could

At this juncture Mr. 11oward said he should ask for a

time, lie would state to the Bench, his reason for doing
so. It was this. It was not until that morning at half.

The world is full ,d people who, having but a limited

icroneled that there are men of genius in the world
