Shottstr—He was aeatteul elerk.

Shotter—To the best of miy belief, he is on his way to

Mr. Nobler submitted that Mr. Shatter had acted all
through the tranention as clerk to Mr. Thompson, and
that Mr. Thompson had been misled by the correspondence
with Mr. Baines which plainly showed that the agency ex-
isted. No doubt Mr. Thompson would appear in a few
days and satisfactorily account for the perplexity of the
transactions. In the meantime it was to be hoped that the
young gentleman who stood on his defence would not be
detained. . _

The Lord Mayor said he was compelled to form an opi-
nion upon the subject much to the defendant's prejudice.
It appeared to him to be quite impossible that the pecuniary
tramactions described could have taken place and the de-
f. 'Want be in ignorance that the money had been received
from Muse poor men without any intention upon the part
of Thompson and Co. to carry out the objects for which
they were resrmsible, and which it was cruel to delay.
Mr. Wilder said it was Mr. Thompson's determination to
come forward in a few days.
The Lord Mayor-1 shall hold Mr. Shotter to bail, him-
self in 801. and two panties in 401. 'sob, to appear here on
