T.TIREATENING TO MURDER LORD

ROTHSCHILD.

On Tuesday-, at the London Mansion House, before
the Lord Mayor, Isaac Jacob Maneburger, 38,
Clifton-street, Finsbury, described as a journalist,
was brought up on a charge of sending letters to L3rd
Rothschild, threatening .o murder him. Mr. George
Lewis prcsecuted, and said from the nature of the
proceedings it would seem that the accused was
scarcely of sound mind. Some time ago the accused
applied to Lord Rothschild for employment, and be
was informed that his services were not required. He
then addressed a great number of letters to the firm,
containing language which was perfectly unjustifiable,
of which, however, no notice was taken. He alio
made demands on the firm. On the 11th of January
he wrote a letter to Mr. Snell, the private secretary
to Lord Rothschild, in which he uttered threats that
unless hisclaim for .e 62,600 was met and sent to his
house, it would be at Lord Rothschild's risk. Another
letter was received by Lord Rlthschild, dated 18th
January. This was the subject of the charge. In
this letter the prisoner asked Lord Rothschild to go
to the Continent with him, and there to fight a duel,
which would end in the life or death of one of them.
He also threatened to stick a knife into him, and
made other threats in his letters, telling his lordship
he would send him to hell. In iuiries had been
made with regard to the prisoner, and no doubt he
was scarcely accountable for his acts. For the pri-
soner's own interest and protection he had been
brought to that Court. Lord Rothschild had but one
feeling in the matter, and it was one of sympathy fcr
the accused. His lordship loft the case entirely in
the hands of the Coart, to be dealt with as the Lord
Mayor might think best. Detective-Sergeant Outram
gave evidence of the prisoner's arrest on Monday
afternoon at 36, Clifton-street, Finsbury, where he
occupied one room. Mr. Richard George Seel!,
private secretary to Lord Rothschild, said he had fcr
months received letters from the prisoner. He had
seen the accused once or twice on the !natter. On the
11th of January he received the letter demanding
£64,000 of Lord Rothchild. On the 19th January
he received another letter, on the envelope of which
was written, " To be handed to hie lordship immedi-
ately." By the Prisoner: I never offered you com-
pensation on behalf of Lord Rtthschild. He never
mentioned the word compensation, but he (prisoner)
had mentioned it. Mr. George Lewis was examined.
He had seen the prisoner, and had acted kindly ta
him, trying to avoid these procexlings. He told bin
that Lord Rothschild was most anxious to do what be
could for him. The prisoner said be never intended
to do Lord Rothschild any harm. The accused we s
committed for trial for threatening to murder Lord
Rothschild.

IT is the esperience of every true worker who has
taken a summer vacation that the satisfaction of get-
ting back to work once more is more substantial and
lasting than the pleasure of a holiday, though less
intense.
