lit wee their weal fora The UMW we sever paid the
Mope were Wow to recover the inetrument.
Mr. Merriman, who appeared for the ileimilank asked far
the production of a letter width Mr. Blake bad seat in the
lire* Miriam* to the eompleinants. and Mr. Moore said they
did not keep letters otter the distract was completed. as
they had 10,000 Laws • year.
le reply to the magidente, Mr. Home said he valued the
pianoforte, for the purpose of having the cam heard Wore
to wonhip, at fourteen guineas.
Mr. lieiraa contended that the oomPlaineat could not
reduce the value of the instrument for the purpme of ob-
tainiog • heartsg in a criminal court.
Mr. foghorn overraied the objection, and said there was
nothing to prevent the complainant from gelling his piano
for what he could get
Bob& Whit...church, Mesa% Moon's porter, gave evidence
of the delivery, and said Mies Blake signed the paper (the
contract produced). lb did not read it to her. He should
have delivered the piano if the paper had been sigoebc=
the houensaid or any other person in the house on
of 11r. Blake.

The defence was that a eorreapoedeees took place for the
purchase of the piano, sad that Yam Blake and her govern=
went to the warehouse and selected it, nothing being said
at the time about hiring. When the piano was delivered,
Miss Blake, who was then 17 years of age, was asked by

that be had delivered it. She signed the paper, not knowing
what the eoateite-were.

tended for the magistrate to hear detaiaieg mesa, is which
the property was in disputa.
An application was made for mate, Mathis worship refused
to pant any, and said the defendant bad the piano.

THE GREAT CASE OF FRAUD IN THE CITY.

At the Mansion-Louse, yesterday, Emile Verner,
a foreigner, wee plead at the bar before Mr. Alderman
Hale, who sat for the Lord Mayor, charged with conspiring
with Lbemaa and Flatow two persons already in custody
and under remand, to defraud Munn. Le Grand, Tame,
and Co., of 11, Rue Berger, Paris, of a large amount of
goods, by MOM of forged aooeptaness.
Mr. Lewis, jun.. prosecuted, and Mr. Wontoer, jun., &p-
-irVlot. the prisoner. Mr. Wavell, the manager of the
ersal Mercantile Association, of 73, Chespeide, by
whom the fraud was discovered, was also present to watch
the proceedings.

Mr. Lewis detailed the facts upon which he grounded the
charge against the prisoner, and
Mr. Nicholas Taw*Armco wan again called, and said—ln
May, 1863, the printer was introduced to the Ann by •
house oonnected with the London trade, and was highly re-
commended. He was consequently engaged to become their
agent in London. and he was to try and obtain order'. He
was to have • salary of 2001. a-year, and • commission of 11.
per cut. on all goods he sold, and all expenses of his office
were to be paid. Until they engaged the prisoner they bad
no effioe at 117, Cheapside ; that was the prisoner's aim,
where be was to carry on business. He was told to take
samples of different goods and to try and get orders from
Ant class firms, and was especially instruc•ol before
transmitting the orden to make every poszitole
inquiry respecting the buyers. sad satisfy himself
thoroughly as to their respectability and responsibility ;
and before he left Paris for Leaden written instructions were
given to him to the mane effect. Between the months of
May and December the prisoner did very little business. In De-
umber the Fencesr went to Paris, and told him business had
begun to brighter', and that be had come with two buyers
belonging to very respectable houses in London. He askcd
the prisoner to introduce him to the buyers, bat be excused
himself from doing so, by saying that they were so busy.
The prisoner did not at that time tell him who they were,
and he did not learn their name* until February, when he
same to London. and then the prisoner told him that Mr.
Lheman and Mr. Arend were is Paris with him. When
the prisoner was in Paris, the prisoner said, in order
to increase the business it was otoosastry to said
• large stock of goods to London, as the sea-
son was commencing, and be wanted goods for the
spring. The prisoner then had directious to go to Lyons,
and marchers the goods he required, and he purchased in
Paris, Lyons, and Switzerland goods amounting to nearly
30,0001. They did not give the prisoner any limit, but
when they feared the quantity of goods he had purchased,
they told him he had enough. The whole of the goods were
sent to London, to the prisoner's office. They consisted of
silks, cottons, plush, sad leather. The goods were bought
on very advantageous terms, and the whole of them had
since been paid for. On the 6th February some circumatuces
came to his knowledge about some leather which had been
offered to a firm in Canorm-etrestat a very low pries, sod which,
from the marks and description of the goods, be knew to be
those purchased by the prisoner and sent to the office in
London. In consequence of that Mr. Le Grand wrote to
the prisoner informing him of the fact, sod stating that he
maid not but think the goods had been bought so get mosey
immediately on them, and recommended him to exercise
extreme vigilance, and take can sod get good references as
to the responsibility of his buyers, and to ensure with the
Arm to whom the leather had been offered not to pay for
it mail Messrs. Le Grand had been paid their money. At
the same time • letter was received from the prisoner, in-
forming them that he bad sold all the goods. In °Dose-
queen of that, sad the einnmstanee of the leather, he
mine to Leedom, arriving on the 7th of February. The wit-
ness then west into an explanation of the transactions
Verner had had with the other privation and the large
amount of goods, upwards of 7,0004 in value, he had sup-
plied to Lhemast, even after he had been told not to trust
him any MGM
The portion of the evidence taken no the previous oar
mono having ban read over, Mr. Lewis said that was as far
as he proposed to take Use case that day, and asked that the
prisoner might be ',mantled and brought up with the other
two snoopers. Lheman sad Flasow.
The prisoner was reminded accordingly, Mr. Alderman
Hale refusing Mr. Wools's's application to admit him to

UNIVERSITY REFORM. —An important meeting of
members of the minorities and others interested in the
gumbo° of University Reform was held oa Friday after-
nom, at the Freemaeone Tavern ; Mr. Bouverie, M.P., in
the chair. The Home of Commons was well represented,
sad lees,. Neste, Girschen, Chichester Fortesene, and
Bright spoke. Professors Gold win Smith, Jowett, and
Rogers repressated Oxford ; and Professor Fawcett spoke
for Cambridge. Besides other distinguished member
of both universities, Messrs. Miall and other re-
presentetim dissenters were present. The meeting
was clearly in favour of the abolition of testa, and
of placing dissenters on a thorough equality with church.
men. For the present, Professor Fawcett thought the
Cambridge test a simple assertion of church membership,
pmferible to subscriptioa to the articles, Professor Jesuit,
on the other band, maintainiog that old tottery were more
easily worn than new. He added that he was not one of
those who wished to lore disasters to the universities in
the hope that they 'maid become churchmen, but looked
for great mutual benefits to church and dimmest from their
free admisaion. The composition and tone of the meeting
was all that good liberals could wish.—Spectator.
THE REMOVAL or GLASGOW UNIT ERSTTY.
We understand that the lands of Gilmorehill and West
Bank were purchased on Wednesday by the authorities of
the Uetversety of Glasgow, for the sum of 65,0001., with the
view of tranderring the epilogs buildings to that magnificent
site at an early date. We believe that the university gets
immediate possession of the lands. Thus extend to nearly
fifty acres, and after amply accommodating the college
hailduip, • large surplus of ground will remain, which, it
is earnestly hoped, will be acquired by the corporatiou, and
thrown into the West-end Park. wh would thus be node
one of the finest things of the kind in the kingdom.

which, in opposition to legal prescriptions and the real prin-
