ville Copper Company, and I held one-third of the shares ;
the capital was 500,003 dollars, but only 5,000 dollars
worth of stork were actually ham, and that had
bees used in developing the mine. I advanced
5,000 dollars in addition to the stock sold. The
day after an examination of the currency was proposed
by the cashier, I discovered there was • deficiency. Mr.
Blake had examined the spook and foiled it correct. This
we about eight or nine day" before I left. Mr. Blake
amt to me about 3 o'clock, and said he wanted to count
the geld, and afterwards to count the currency. I told
hist it wu an unheard-of thing for the cashier to
exorcize the cash aloe& sad that I thought he
had no authority to do so, and that, if it must be
des, it must be counted in the usual meaner,
M Me presence of the (president and the directors.
It was sot then counted ; presuming that the currency
would be counted the next as (which, however, was
not due), I determined to straighten up the money and
get it ready should the directors be disposed to count it.
Hood to my surprise that there was a deficiency in the
three packages that had been in the bank for some time
amounting in the whole to 197,000 dollars, and
the next morning when I came to the book it wen
my detorminatioo to mention it to the officials of
the bank, but I did not do so. because I
knew I was in the power of the bank, and that they might
take proceedings against rue which would not allow me the
means of defame or explanation. I appropriated any

Crow-examined by Mr. Rerslake—l wild my property to

potty to Jacob Bodeen, my brother in law, I had two
bedding plots of ground in New York, but I don't know
what tic become of them. I have beard that the bank has
attached them. I had speculated with Bodeen's maim in
pwchasing gold and stock for him. I was to

brag them into the other entrance of the bank;
that is through the cellar ; the bank's gold,
which was brought at the same time, was
brought in the usual way. My two begs of gold were put is
cupboard in the cellar. He brought the gold for me from
a broker in Wallotreet in exchange for the notes. I told the
sicesseger, as I always did in reference to my own affair.,

geld for me on former SOCUSOIia that had bees got in es-

(Wore Mr. Oomminioner Herr.)
/Venda itunetli, 21. oonfeatioaer, was indicted for
folonionely wounding Elisabeth Monetti, his wife, with
intent to murder her, sad is a esociad count he was charged
with an intuit to do her grievous bodily harm. The pri-
soner was also charged with unlawfully wounding himself
with intent to kill himself.

Mr. Pdand and Mr. ()fridge prosecuted; and Mr.Montagth
Williams defended the prisoner.
The prisoner was a foreigner, and at the time of the oes
current*. took place he was carry* on the haziness of •
oonfactioner, at 106, Hackney-road, where he resided with
hi wife, to whom he was married shortly before Christmas
bat It appeared that on the 9th of May the prisoner
and his wife had • alight quarrel, but nothing
much to speak of, and at night they were the aime as
usual, and went to bed about It o'clock. The prisoner.
wife was, awoke in the morning about 6 o'cilisk by some-
thing at her throat, and found herself covered is blood and
her throat cat. The prisoner was by her side, and he i
then an ice spoon in his bead. film went to the window
and called out, and got on to the cistern; and from there
mine into the gardee, and then into the house of •
neighbour, by whom she wee taken to the hospital.
Upon proceeding afterwards to the home the prisoner was
found upstairs with his throat cut very seriously. A razor
was found in ono of the rooms downstairs, sad there were
mike of blood on the door from that teem to the moos
upetairs, where the prisoner was found. The prisoner wee
taken to the hospital where he and his wife remained until
the 20th' al June. The wound in hie wife's throat was very
severe, the windpipe having been severed, and she was for
some time in extreme danger. The prisoner's wound was
also every severe one.
The prossoutrix was still in a very weak state, and ap-
peared to have entirely lost her voice, her evidence basin

pressed a doubt whether she would ever recover.
In answer to Mr. Montague Williams, the pr.:smuts:a
said the prisoner had always ' mated her with the greatest
kindness, sad be had carnoti te. been rather strange in his
manlier, and told the customers that they had come to rob
him, and on the day previous to the occurrence he west
into the garden and tore up the earth, and that the
prisoner' father died • lunatic.
When the prisoner was di charged from the hospital, on
the 20th of June, be was take, into custody, and when told
that he would be charged with cutting his wife's and his own
throat, he naked how he could be guilty when be was not in

THE POLICE COURTS.
(TIM DAY.)

GUILDHALL.
?MUSD DOWN INN EDITING OFFICE&

Henry Croft Calder, the keeper of a beersbop in Talbot•
court, called the Drapers' Arms was summoned before
Alderman Abbiss, by Mr. Alfred Laurence Paster, the
superintendent of the City Polies, for that on the UM and
26th of May last, being the occupier of each house, he did
unl►wfulty permit a room in his hones to be used for the
plummy of betting on certain bores races, whereby he bad
incipredtpetualty not exceeding 100 i.

Mr, Poised, ieetrseted by the Oity solicitor, prosecuted,
and Mr. T. Beard defended

Mr. Poland said—This cue, sir, in one in which the de-
fendant has let a room is hie house to parties who carry on
a betting busier. under the title of Shea and Madden, end
thatbusinees has bun amnia on in such a manner that it
was utterly impossible for the defendant to have been us-
enet* that such an illegal huskiess was carded 00, sa all
those parsons who went into the upper rooms for the pur-
pose of betting, eausearily pained through the bar, sad
must have been observed by him. He should call
W. Karridge, who said—l am a policeeonstable. On the
23rd of May I went in company with another constable to
the Drapers' Arise, we were both in plain clothes,
sad went into the Stet floor, where we saw the
names of Messrs. Shoe and Madden painted so the windows.
There were several persons there. The names of Wire and
Madden were also paantedton the door paste of the house,
' and they were described as ooromis•ion agents. The officer
' then gave evidence as to having seen money pus, bete
booked, and tickets given • also as to betting hits being
bung on the walls on three days a which he had visited
the house. _ _ _

Mr. Begird objected to any stridence being given as to the
eootects of any list or dm-unseat unless such list or deep-
mument should be produced ;he also objected to any evi-
dence being received as to what took place in the room in
the &beeves of the defendant.

The latter objection was overruled by the alderman, and
the °Meer finished that portion of his evidence.
Mr. Beard said—l hope that in this rue you will
not decide by the views sattertaieed by your colleague
on Friday last, u this case is entirely different, and
I do think that you will decide this ease irrespective
of those already disposed of. When the other eases were
decided, the evidence given should sot have been received,
and was only allowed in conaequence of the defendant not
beteg represented byeounsel until the evideoce had been given;
in feu Mr. Sleigh wee only instructed when the cos for the
prosecution had closed, and he could not then object to the
reception of the evidence with leaped to the (»Meats of
the lists or placards, which he undoubtedly would have
don, under other circumstances. In the present case I ask
you not to asinine what was io the house, as the cords
might have been for election purposes, and the books for
any other purpose but that on which a conviction is sought.
Mr. Beard tbea contended that the legitimate hulloes' of a
commission agent, even for receiving bets on horse-racina,
wee not illegal, and asked the court to discharge the
1111IIIMOUR.

lb.. .Warman Abbiss—l have no doubt in my own mind
that this hones hae been seed for betting purposes, and
that the defendant was not loosest that room was so used
I shall therefore floe him 101. and two guineas costs, and I
think it right to state that if the offense is again committed
by you I shell think it my duty to fins you in the fall
penalty of 1001. or six mouths' imprisonment, but, se far as
lam concorned, it is my opinion that the better course
would be to give the full term(/' imprisonment without the
option of a floe.
Moms. Wm. Shoe and Chas. Madden were then sum-
moned with illegally seeping a room for betting purposes.
and by the advice of Kr. Beard Shec pleaded guilty, and
was fined MI. and costs. Mr. Beard made an appeal on
behalf of Madden stating that be had 114•111 made a bet in
the placa, bat Mr. Alderman Abbiss also fined him in the
sum of 201. sod costs.
