rARGE OF PERJURY AGAINST SIR
JAMES FERGUSSON.

. .
ttun the 28th of Match Mr. David Wemyss Jobsen
mbrought to Westminiter Police-court on a warrant
,
aing him with sending a threatening letter to Sir
Perguttuh, M.P. for Ayrshire, and was com-
afd
, &fault of finding two sureties in £4O. Upon
501c4aie from prison, on Thursdays. he applied to Mr.
1)t':(11(1.for a warrant against Sir James Fergusson for
tat2,Yl and, being referred to Mr. Paynter as the ,
er 4
trate who heard the previous complaint, came
that gentleman on Saturday.
1°
Zi complained that he had not seen the report of the
entil his discharge from custody, as, from the rules
pllB gaol, be had beenexcluded from having any news- '
hler• He had been' permitted to write letters, but
kited that he had not been allowed the sight of a
st"Pktier.
t'arater thought that, if a representation were
14,,'e to the SecretarY of State, the matter would be
-ked into.
z -r• Jobson said he now produced a copy of the
of the 29th of March, and applied-for a warrant
"lest Sir James Fergusson, for perjury. He then
tEld
sk, the report through, commenting on various pas-
;'es at great length. His principal allegations of
s.lititY were, that Sir James had sworn that prisoner
utterly unknown to him, and had addressed a series
letters to him relating to transactions to which he was
4
Perfect stranger; that he had expressed astonishmenttb the charge made by Mr. Jobson of his (Sir James)
1ill2; spent part of- Jobson's patrimony to secure his
4 ~.
"'4l_Bll for Ayrshire, and that he knew nothing about
11°4'504 br his patrimony. He (Mr. Jobson) admitted
Cing sent the threatening letter upon which
lareerhad charged him, but urged that the threat
448 hypothetical, as it was not to be carried into effect
lilless Sir James interfered with him, and complained
ti 4
the misrepresentations made by Sir James not only
61
r the magistrate to form aft opinion that he was suffer-
ender some delusion, bat also the Secretary of
state, as a medical gentleman had visited him in
4.4
311 to examine whether he was suffering under
ZIY aberration of intellect, which he, the. doctor,
t"'ever, declared was not the ease. Applicant begged
BaY that on the subject of not procuring bail, some of
the letters he wrote to persons to bail him were inter-
elted, and others were not delivered till long after they
, 7481i1d have reached their -destination. He had some
taaportant letters which his landlord had seized, as he
°eght, through the instrumentality of Sir James,
ttreediately after his- incarceration, and they were most
material in support of= the complaint against his former
accuser.

Mr. Paynter called applicant's attention to the fact
that he had admitted having written the threatening
letter, and to the circumstance of his being found in pos-
4ession of a bowie-knife, and of his having remarked that
491 the law did not protect him, he must do as they
did in America--protect himself”—which were solid
reasons for his being held to bail. The worthy magis-
trate then pointed out to him that all false swear-
ing was not perjury in a legal sense, as to constitute
that offence, it must be material to the issue, and the
person must have not only falsely but wilfully have done
it. Raving heard applicant's statement, he did not
think that if he were in a condition to prove it--assum-
ing it, for the sake of argument, to be as Mr. Jobson
uad stated it—it would amount in law to perjury. Mr.
Jobson must produce his assignments of perjury in
'writing and be sworn to their accuracy, and if he (Mr.
Paynter) saw sufficient grounds, he would issue a sum-
-14045 against Sir James Fergusson.

RUNT'S GREAT PICTURE.—The London correspondent
of the Manchester Guardian says :—" I am glad to hear
that Mr. Hunt has concluded the sale of his remarkable
Picture, Christ found by his parents in the Temple,'
'which still attracts daily crowds at the German Gallery
ill Bond-street. The purchaser is, I believe, M. Gam-
tart, who is to publish the prints ; and I bear the price
agreed upon is £5,500, which, though the largest price
ever paid for a modern picture, is no inordinate return
for six years of almost uninterrupted work given to this
Illonutnent of finish and labour."

CIVILITY TO AN " UGLY CUSTOMER."—I was going
up from Liverpool to London in the Umpire, that won-
derful fast coach that astonished the world by making
the journey in 36 hours. I sat behind the coachman,
and was struck by the appearance of the man on the box
seat; who, though it was the depth of winter, and the
day one of cutting sleet and cold wind, wore no upper
coat, nor any protection against the weather. He was,
(as you may imagine) speedily wet through, and pre-
tented, in his dripping and soaked habiliments, as sorry
a spectacle as need be. In fact, if any man's external
could proclaim want and privation, his did. These
signs of poverty did not, however, screen him from
the application of "Won't you remember the coach-
luau, sir ?" He, with no small difficulty, for he was
nearly benumbed with cold, extricated a sixpence from
his pocket and tendered it. The burly driver flung it con-
temptuously back to him with insult, and sneeringly asked
him how be could dare to seat himself on the box, when
ho was travelling like a pauper. The traveller never
answered a word ; a slight flush once, indeed, showed
how the insult stung him ; but he never uttered a
"If I had you down here for five minutes,
I'd teach you as how you'd seat yourself on the box
again !" cried coachee, whose passion seemed only
aggravated by the other's submission. Scarcely were
the words spoken, when the dripping traveller began to
descend from the coach. He was soon on the ground,
and almost as he touched it the coachman rushed upon
him. It was a hand to hand conflict, which, however,
could not have lasted four minutes. The stranger not
only "stopped" every blow of the other, but followed
each " stop" by a well sent in one of his own, dealt
with a force that, judging from his size, seemed miracu-
lous. With closed eyes, a smashed jaw, and a disabled
wrist,-the coachman was carried away ; while the other,
as he drank off a glasse water, simply said, " If that
man wishes to know where to find me again, tell him to
ask for Tom Spring, Crane Alley, Borough Road."—
