decent respectable people could eel go into an omnibus ace

the prisoner and robbed. This wee • eruel robbery. The

the prisoner, the court would not be doing their duty

The prisoners Louis Jourdein, Angelina Jourdein, and
Alexandre Bartle, who have been under remand for some
time upon the charge of conspiring together to commit ex.
tined,* frauds upon persoce citt distinetion in different parte
of the continent, were this morning brought before the
Lord Mayor for further examination.

cation. Mr. Templemsn and Mr. Batter Rigby appears&
for the defence.
It was expected that the 'Mohan of Zamora end the
Bishop of Hildersheim, who were emoog the parties who
have been defrauded, would have been in attendance today.
but letters have been received from both those gentlemen,
stating that it is impossible for them to be present at
so short a notice. The Bishop of Hildersheim sent an offi-
cial statement of the circumstances connected with the
application of the prisoners to blur, but this is, of mune.
not admirable in evidence is this country.
The additional evidence brought forward to-da• was
merely to. show that the two Jourderes had takes different
apartments at which a greet number of letters, addressed
to them, were received. There did sot appear to be very
much evidence to show that any imenexim existed between
Joardeias and the other prisoner, Berths, sod there appeal
to be some ground for supposing that to a meters extent
he had been carrying on the nefarious proceeding on his own
account.
The prisoeers were again remanded, and it is expected
that at the next examination some of the parties who have
sent their money to the prisoners will attend and give
evidence.

The magistrate—Why did you give the prisoner into cus-
