THE ALLEGED FRAUDS UPON INSURANCE

Jame, Arnott, Wm. Beripwick, and Charles
Thorne, the three MIS who were brought Wore the Lord
Mayor an hat Thursday week, having bun apprehended

with conspiring together to obtain, end thiamine,
b7CA odelont putenue, from the Royal Exchange foul-
ness, sad other 'nausea. and assurance ufflosa, large sums
of money with intent to defraud, were on Saturday again
placed at the bar.
Mr. Humphrey'', of the firm of Humphreys and Morgan,
rs
of Giltepur Membe, prosecuted ; and Mr. Sorjesat Atkia.
boo, Ina :noted by Mr. Moss, was umeael for the prisms/
Thorpe ; and Mr. Lew* ion., appeared for the other pri-
soners.
Mr. Superintendent Branford. of the M diviske of police,
was Fount to watch the cue on the part of the metropo-
litan police.
The °sly evidence that was adduced on the first °maks
was that ooatained in the infcematios upon which the war-
rants were granted, the case then hoeing be ra remanded
until Friday last, when upon the application el Mr.
Humphrey', in 0000010•000 01 the absence of Mr. Gifford.
who was retained for the proucutioa, but who was on that
day espied at the Central Criminal Court in the prosecu-
tion of the prisoner Polioni for the Saffroothill murder,
the case was further remanded until Saturday last.
When the prisoners were placed at the by on Saturday,
Mr. Humphreys said he was again placed in a very difficult
patinae, as Mr. Gifford, who had been instructed by him,
bad soot him word that it would he Impossible for him to
based that day, as he was engaged in a very Important case
at Westminster. Mr. Humphreys said he had only • very
short time before received the notice, and having given Mr.
Gifford his brief be himself was not sufficiently muter
of the OW top on with the proeecutioo without the
aid of the comma whom he had lostructed, and his appli-
°stirs, therefore, was that the mu might be again ad-
jeursed upon th seddities that was already before the
court.
Serialist Atkineoo, who appeared for Thome, said he
should certainly oppose such • course. His client had for
the last 25 years bonus the most excellent character se an
booed sad respectable mu, mad had suffered in health,
and was likely to suffer still more, while such • serious
thane was banging over him. He did not wish to interfere
with the 000vimienes of others, but he urtautly thought
their conveaience was not to be studied at the imputes of
his chant, to whom it wee all-important that he should
know as soon as possible the °barge that was to be brought
spinet him. lie had looked through the oviduct', end be
must acknowledge that be could not see the slightest reason
why him chest should be kept any looser la gaol. If the
witnuess we
present he woe sure a gentleman of Mr.
Humphreys' ability could pressed with the cue, even if he
wets sot quite master of the facts.
Mr. Lewis. tie the part of the other prisoner,said he
could add but little to the observations of Serjeant Atkin-
son, which he thought applied equally to his clients. He
did not we why they should be prejudiced by the absence
of Mr. Gifford, who no doubt was absent upon vary import-
ant busmen ; but still that business was not more import-
ant to Mr. Gifford than the present case wee to the pri.
posers, which deprived them of their liberty, and kept them
from their wive. and families, upon eeidecies which really
did not justify their detention. His chests as well as
Thorne had hitherto borers • most excelleat character.
They were brought before his lordship for the third time,
and the ooly evidence wu the Name information of a mon
who was in the tame service, and whom there had as yet
been no opportunity of cross-examining. The prisoners were
not charged with any fraud upon their employers, bat were
charged upon the lowest clue of misdeureassur, and were
justly entitled to be admitted to bail, and he trusted that if
no additional evidence were adduced the prisoners might be
diacharged, or at least be allowed to go on their own moor
Diatom.
The Lord Mayor said, in spite of what had been said by
Mr. Lewis, the charge mama the prisoners was a very
grave ooe, and upon a former umiak& he was of opinion
that the *Odeon* wee each as to justify a remand, and they
were remanded accordingly, sod he therefore thought he
was justified in agaio renuoiliog them upon the same evi-
dence. Still be thought Mr. Gifford ought to have been
porseset, and also that the Kimmins ought not to be re-
manded for any length of time, but should be brought up
spin at the earliest possible period, nod thought lloaday
would be quite long enough.
Mr. Humphreys said he wu quits willing that the cats
should be heard on Modal.and Ise pledged himself that if
Mr. Gifford could not then be preseut, he himself would be
prepared to go on with the ease.
The prisoners were then remanded until this day (Mon-
day), the Lord Mayor refusiog to admit either of them to
bad.
