SINGULAR C•st—Catberine Cafferky, a young
wenuse, was summoned before the magistrates at Be!mullet
the other day, by an " English 'optimism," named Billing-
toe, with whom she had hired as • servant. The ootm
pleat was that she had broke, her engagement by leaving
his service previous to the expiry of her term. The de.
fence was, according to the parish priest who appeared
as the guardian of the girl, that it was d►ogerous to her
virtue to continue in the employ, as four girls who had
preceded her in the situation bad been delivered of
illegitimate children while in the complainant's service.
The girl, however, stated that no attempt bad ever been
made on her, and Mr. Millington, who supported his own
case, declared that one of the persona referred to by the
priest had been found in the bed of his 16413, owing, he said.
to the want of other accommodation in the house. Thereon
the reverend guardian of the defendantareued that although
no attempt had hear made on bee, it was not after the girl
had fallen that be should warn her and remove her from this
danger, while be cooteoded that the statement of the ores.
plainant about one of the girls who had bees in his monies
clearly established that his boom was no place for virtuous
girls to be is. The magistrates, however, sentenced the
girl to a penalty of 3/. 10a., or in default two months' im.
prim' einem. She accepted the alterative, but the priest
has since lodged an appeal to the decision, and the girl re.
mains nut on bail, while five times the amount of the
penalty hem been subscribed tot bor.

CROYDON STEEPLECHASES.—WE
DNESDAY.
Although the lint day of this truly popular suburban
meeting met with a very huge amount at patronage, the at-
teadaDoe on the second day was far beyond the expectation
of the promoters. A dense nine of holiday seekers lined
the course, and many of the trees ia the hoe of country
taken by the "fields" were occupied by thaw eager ninny
the spectacle. The enclosure and stead met with ample
support, and the numerous fields which started for the dif-
ferent event. gave nee to considerable ,peculation. The
first everit, the Belling Handicap, brought eight to the
post; the favourite, however, suffered defeat, the winner
turning up in Little Dick, a most welcome surprise for the
fielders. Gorsehawk again gave evidence of his improving
form by defeating a large field in the Stand Plate. And the
of the day, the Metropolitan Handicap, for which 19
anted, was decided in favour of Spatcbcxk, after a good
ru between the three placed. The backers at length had •
turn in the rewinding ram, which was won by the favourite,

Aa in each of the [Greying racea, the start was absurdly
preceded by a failure, and am the competitors in reality on
each occasion started themselves, Mr. Martin Starling need
not have taken the unnecessary pains of endeavouring to
get them in • line. Morocco, Portland, Globule, and
Creole first showed in advance, but in the first few
hisedred yards The Rogue rushed to the frost, and led to
the stand, where Meanwood, who had been in muting, took
up the reusing, followed by The Rogue, 13allinasloe,
Creole, Portland, and La %lame, in pretty
close order, whilst at an interval al several lengths followed
Flyfisher, Globule, Sly Fox, Morocco, Acrobat, Beechnut,
Benedict, Dobbyn. Spatchcock, and Woodford, in whose
rear came Piggy Wiggy, Jerry, and Princess of Wales some
distance in the rear. After crossing the ploughed
Meanwood assumed a loos lead, and Creole took
place, The Rogue, Portland, and Dobbyo, close together,
next, with Flyfisher immediately in their rear. Some
dateline separated this lot ; Morocco, Spatchcock, Sly Fox
and Globule were nest in pursuit, a long way from the
leaders ; the lot being whipped in by Jerry and Princess of
Wales. Approaching the stand the second time Flyfisher
ran into third place, but rising the hill gave w, and- there
the Rogue went to the treat, idemiword, and Ballinartos
occupying second and third places, with Fly fisher, Portland,
Sly Fox, Morocco and Spatchcock in close company following,
whilst Jerry and Princess of Wales were tailed off
is the first two miles. Upon entering the ploughed land a
second time Morocco ran up to the leaders, but
after taking " • feeler" again dropped into the sixth or
seventh position, and descending the hill on the opposite
side of the course to that of the stand, Meanwood, at an
Improved pace, increased his lead, and Flyfisber took second
place. The pace now told upon Creole, Dobbyn, The
Rogue, Portland, and Morocco, who throughout had occu-
pied • prominent position, but who, half • mile from home,
were entirely out ol the nice, and Meanwood at this point
coming to grief, the lead was left with Flyfisher, next to
whom were Sly Fox and Spatchcock, nothing obis being
near the two. As they swept round the turn at
the bottom of the course Sly Fox and Spatchcock
gradually drew upon Flyfisher, whom the pair
caught at the last feces, which woe charged at the same
moment by the three. Safely alighted, the three com-
menced • resolute mos, and though Spottist:sic appeared to
have the worst of the struggle with Sly Fox a distance from
home, the latter, who is said to be in the same interest as
" the Cock," tired, and was beaten by a head. Two letmths
separated the second and third. Nothing else passed the
poet whilst the judge remitted in the box. The whole of
the French representatives, La Vidaine,coLly Wiggy, and
Benedict, fell, as did also Globule, Portland,
aodseveral
others, but we are happy to state that DODO o the jockeys
met with serious injuries, nor were any of the horses hurt.

THE HEALTH or LONDON.—It amen from the
return issued by authority of the Etegistrar.Geseral that, in
the last two weeks the mortality of London has been re-
markably high ; the deaths, which were 1,742 in the week
that ended 19th November, were 1,677 in that which aided
last Saturday (26th November). In the second week of the
present mouth, before the mortality rose, the mean tem.
pereture of the air had faille, as low sa 37.3 deg. ; in the
last two weeks it was 45.5 deg. and 42.1 deg. The average
number of deaths for the forty-seventh week of ten years,
1654.63, is, with a correction for increase of population,
1.518 ; the present return, therefore, discovers an excess of
159 above the calculated number. The most fatal disease
in the list was, as in the previous week, bronchitis, which
was recorded in 2.ffi oases, the corrected avenge being 197 ;
while pneumonia was returned in 161 cases, against an average
of 124. The deaths from ptithtris (coesumption) were 178.
which is just equal to the average; those from heart
disesae were 85, the average being 63. Sir nonagenarians
died in the weak, the oldest of whom was aged 96 years-
Of 53 fatal uses of inmates, 6 occurred in Hensingtou Town
sub.diacrict, 7 in that of Christ Church, Nan Whops. There
were 90 of acarlatias Bof which were in the Pancras dis-
trict, 4 in the City-road sub-district, 9 in the Greenwich dis-
trict, in which there were also 11 deaths from typhus. In
the Pancras district 150 deaths were registered in the week ;
the corrected average is 105. In Shoreditch there were 90
against 72 : in Newington 68 against 43 •, in Lambeth 92
against 81. A man unknown, aged about 85 year., was
found dead on a dunghill in Sadwell, from "exposure and
destitutioe." (loquest.) Last week the births of 1,&34
boys and 940 boys, in all 1,944 children, were registered in
Loudon. In the ten correeponding weeks of the years
1854.63 the average number (corrected) was 1,920.

BANKRUPTCY ACCOUNTS.—The following new
order in bankruptcy has just been Issued :—Whereas, de-
faults have from time to time been made by several of the
official assignees of the Court of Bankruptcy, and serious
loess have thereby been occasioned to creditors uoder bank-
rupts' states, and it is desirable that such occurrences
should be prevented for the future. And whereas, from
recent investigations directed by me into CA accounts of
the official assignees and meesengers of the Court of Bunk-
raptcy for the country districts very great irregulerities have
been discovered, and it is expedient and will be satisfactory
to me that the books and accounts of every official assignee
and meseengere of the court in the London district should un-
dergo •similar investigation. Now by virtue of the Bask-
ruptcy Act, ICU, and of every authority vested in me, I do
he,eby, with the consent and coucturenne of the Com-
missioners of the Court of Bankruptcy in Loudon, give
power and authority to William Scrope Ayrton, Esq., one
of the commissions,, of the Court of Bankruptcy, for the
Leeds district, and Robert Palmer Harding, of Bank-build-
ings, Lothbury, in the City of London, accountant, to in-
vestigate and immure* the books and accounts of the official
assignees and messengers of the Court of Bankruptcy in
London, and also the bills of fees of the messenger, and to
report to me thereon with power to them to examine such
persons, and to call for the production of such books,
papers, and legs as they may thick fit. A
Ido further order, that the said William *rope Ayrtoo
and Robert Palmer Harding do also report to use whether
any, and if any, what general et stems appear to them to be
best calculated to ensure uniformity and accuracy in the
keeping of the books and accounts of the respective officers
aforesaid, and do make such other further suggestions as
may occur to them.—(Signed) WRSTBURY, Chancellor.

were gives, from the experieoce of gentlemen present, is en-
gineering, manufacturing, and chemical pursuits, of the in-

CHARGE AGAINST A GENTLEMAN OP OBTAIN
ING JEWELLERY BY FALSE PRETENCES.

Arthur Bootle Wilbraham, holding the commie-
Bios of ensign in the Coldstraera Guards, was &unnamed to
the Illszlhorough-etreet polloweewrt before Mr. Tyrehitt on

two obaeal-7o; for bails. obtatned jewellery of the value
of 3,1007. from Mr. Harry Imonuel, rweller, of 13.0d-
d/tot, and jewellery of the value of 1,1004 from Mr. Han-
cock, jeweller, of Bond-street, by fable and fraudulent
Wowcem

Mr. Gifford was for the prosecution ; Mr. Metcalfe for
the defendant; and Mr. Sleigh, instructed by Mr. E. Law.
ream of Waterloo-place, watched the case on behalf of Mr.
Robert Morris.

I Mr. Giffard said the history of the case was this. On the
4th of February of this year Mr. Harry Emanuel received a
note from the defendant requesting that dismoed bracelets,
earrings, &t., to the 'Minot about 2,0001., might be sent to
him for inspection at the officers' guard room at the Hone
Guards. One of Mr. Emanuel's assistants, named Streeter,
was sent with jewellery corresponding in quality and amount
to that ordered by the defendant. The defendant made a
statement to Streeter daring that interview, which was that
he was engaged to be married to a rich heiress, that the
articles of jewellery were for her, and that he was
going down by the three o'clock train the next day
for the purpose of presenting the jewellery to her.
The defendant obtained goods to the extent of 3,1501., end
in considering the question of fraud it was material to see
what it was the defendant intended to do with the jewels—
give them to his asserted bride, or apply them to the relief
of his own necessities by raising money upon them. When
the defendant obtained the jewels, on the same day or
within a very short time after they left Mr. Emanuel's pos-
session, the defendant executed an agreement with Mr.
Morris, making the bill of parcels of Mr. Emanuel the sche-
dule of the agreement for money advanced to him on the
goods. This fact alone spoke more emphatically as to the
character of the transaction than anything he could possibly
say. Since the original transaction the defendant had been
made a bankrupt, and this would perhaps help to convince
the court that when the defendant obteioed the jewels he
had not the means of paying for them, nor intended to pay
for them, but that he from the first, in case he got them,
purposed to apply them to his necesaities.
Mr. Edwin William Streeter, manager to Mr. Emanuel,
then gave evidence, stating that he waited upon the defend-
ant, and supplied him with the jewellery, which he stated
was fora lady he wee about to be married to.
By Mr. Metcalfe—lf we did not think the transaction quits
°offset we should not let a young gentleman have goods
unless he was going to be married. Mr. Emanuel said,
" I would rather not serve you if you are not going to be
married." A bill was drawn for the amount, and three
mouths after the defendant renewed the bill. I was pre-
, sent when the defendant renewed it, a day or two before it
came to maturity. There bee been more than one re-
newel. On the first renewal two bills were given, one for
1,500/., and the other for 1.6504 The defendant said his
ifather was going to pay the 1,500/. bill as a present to the
young lady. The first bill was for 3,100/., and before it
became due the defendant called to have it put into two.
The defendant did not say that he had told his father that
he owed 1,500/. for jewellery, and that was the risme why
he wanted the bill foe 1,5001. to show his father. He bad no
recollection of it. He mid his father would come and take up
the bill for 1,5004 Mr. Emanuel went to the defendant's
father. I have not seen the bills given on renewal. (Some
bills were produced). I believe those are the bills. The
amount is Mermaid 601. for interest, but defendant
had also bought an emerald ring in the meantime,
the ring was bought for the wedding also. It is usual to
give three rings in the upper circles in cum of motrimoey,
—a ruby, emerald, and a diamond. I believe the defendant
gave one bill for the whole for 3,5001. I did not tell the
defendant, hut 1 believed he had been having bills out. De-
fendant asked me if I could tell him where he could borrow
some money. 1 cannot say when that was, as he used to
come in occasionally. It did not concern me. I said,
" Don't go to money lender, ; an insurance office is the best
thing." I will not swear that I did not mention the name
of Davis. Messrs. Lawrence, Plows, sod Bayer are the
'elicitors for the Prosecution. I know Mr. Davis, of Clif-
fordetreet. I doe't know that be is an attorney. I don't
know that he is a money-lender. I should not know you
were a counsel if you called, without you said so. I will
swear I told the defendant to go to en insurance office, but
I have DO recollection of sending him to Mr. Davis. I have
not sent young men to Mr. Davis to borrow money. To the
beet of my recollection I sent the defendant to an insur.
ance.offioe. I have never taken goods round to persons,
volunteering to let them have them. I never take them
until they are sent for. I bays not left goods,
with servantsto ahow their mistreats without
being meet for. I took an assortment of goods,
cremating of jewellery, to the defendant, and I sold him
3,0001. worth. If he thought proper to give the lady 2.0041.
more than his note stated that was nothing to ma. We
had done a little business before with him. We knew his
family, and we knew that his father lived in Brook-street.
Mr. Harry Emanuel was then examined, and he stated
that he certainly should not have parted with his goods had
not defendant stated that he was going to marry a rich
heiress.

Mr. Robert Morris, Can too Chambers, Regentetreet—l
know the defendant I saw him on the sth of Feieusry at
mz then offioe in &minille-street. I nave him a cheque for
1,1001.. the defendant owing me 1.3001. at the time. This
made the whole debt 3.0001. I took • memorandum and
security of jewels. I made a list of articles iu the whet.
(Agreement here put in and read. It was to the effect
that he (the defendant), in coosideratiou of a cheque of
1,7001. and his two bills for 6301. each, agreed to secure the
amount, 3,0001., by the deposit of jewels, and in default of
payment Mr. Morris was authorised and empowered to sell
the jewels and convert the amount to the repayment of the
3,00041 The whole of the jewels in the racket were stated
to be worth about 2,2001.
Mr. Metcalfe—For which a charge of 4,0001. wee made.

Mr. Mania—The 2,200/. was the value in the trade. I
offered them to Mr. Attesborough, as I am no judge of these
things.
Mr. Gifford—That is my case.
Mr. Metcalfe, for the dehisce, denied that a misrepresen-
tation of existing facts had taken place.
Mr. Tyre/hitt—The case stands on this foundation. Did
he or did he sot state anything which in another court
would be held to be a preexisting fact? All the convic-
tions which I can put my finger upon contain what is a
clear falsehood as to fact. Bat as to this assertion about
the heiress, how can I asy it is not so with the evidence be-
fore me! The fact is, the parties thought only about pay-
ment, U the father would sot pay some one else wouM—
they did not care who. . . . . . . .

--Sir.ii;iialT;LTiii feared the defendant going into the
Bankruptcy Court, and they wrote to put on the screw
somewhere.

Mr. Tyr whitt—l entertain strong doubts on the matter,
but thie is not the court for the solution of those doubts.
If the bankruptcy had not intervened these proceedings
would never have been beard of. Bills having bees given
for the amount due to the complainant, that very much
alters the complexion of the cue so far as the moral aspect
is concerned. It is certain that the complainant, who was
content to take bills, looked to the civil remedy se the
means of getting his money. I must send the cue before •
jury certainly.
The defendant was committed on bail in two noretim of
3004 each.

The mood charge, of obtaining goods from Mr. Babcock,
was adjourned till bast week.

THE LATE EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF • WELSH
MAGNTRATE. A special meeting of the Denbigh town
council has been held to take into coesideration the conduct
of Alderman Weep Griffith. of Gate, at a recent public
meeting in the Town-hall, when be was reported to have
made use of disgraceful language. The tows-clerk read
letter from Mr. Griffith, which contained the following
•—" I feel it my duty to express my peat regret
tPl!rtar was led, under what I consider great provocation,
and in the hest of excited temper, to give expression to
words which I will not attempt to justify or excuse. lam
also reported to have expressed language of disrespect and
disloyalty towards the Queen. 1 moat truly declare that
I have not the slightest recollection of uttering
the words imputed to me, and my firm convic-
tion is that I did not utter them. If, however,
words as reported did fall from my lips in a
moment of uncontrollable mental excitement, they most
certainly did not proceed from nor express the feelings of
my heart. Whatever my (Anita may be, the want of loyalty
to her Majesty is not one of them. I have always acted as
a loyal subject, and OD public occasions I bays expressed my
attachment to the throne and devotion to the laws and
' institutions of my country. If disrespectful words to her
Majesty escaped my lips, I can only express .my deep regret
and grief at having been momentarily guilty (dutch conduct.
With regard to expressions that were applied to persons, I
have already said that they were unjustifiable, and every
additional moment's redaction deepens my regret that I was
led, under the great provocation already alluded to. to give
utterance to such language. To the gentlemen who have
felt aggrieved by my language and conduct I can may ex-
press my unfeigned sorrow that I should have said or done
anything that has given pain or aneoyacce to friends and
neighbours, sad to such I beg Wolfer my apology."
