was no doubt, he added, that a fates statement had been
made to the insurance adieu and that • claim had bean
made for • large quantity of jute, worth 5,000/., which
was altogether false. "Oar readers will thus perceive;
says the Advertiser, " that, though acquitted by the jury,
the primers have been condemned by the judge."
The Telegraph says :—" If the companies had chosen he
bring • civil action in order to diminish the amount claimed
from them, they might have been justified in go dna( ;
but in resorting to criminal process they placed themselves
altogether in the wrong. They may have been actuated by
• high sense of public duty ; but they would have gained
more credit for fair dealing if their Lateran had net
happened to coincide with the course they took la
disputing payment. It implies so meat of charity
to assert that the machinery of the aimisal law
was put into action in order to avoid the liquida-
tion of a civil contract. Baron Martin was bold enough to
remark that aldermen and civic magistrates enakl not he
expected to understend exactly what cosetitutel as ewes
at law ; but at lout they might be expected to know that
debts ought act to be recovered by the aid of the Cattail
Criminal Court. The Meseta. Barry may possibly obtain
redress from the hormone computes for the union la-
sinuations to which they have been exposed ; but for what
they have suffered from the paltry tyraney of bulled= en •
the civic tench they have no asses of receiving say nose

The Star thinks it not improbable that leer care was takes
in making up the statements for the claim against immune,
companies than would have been bestowed bad the intends
of • private party been involved. "A feeling unquestionably
does exist that when premiums have been paid for in-
surance against Sr. the claim preheated should at least
Dot be under the actual lose. In the ore in question
this tendency seems not only to have existed, but
there was evidently gross narcissuses is the mode is
which the statements were made up. The duty was
performed in the most perfunctory manner by a clerk,
and not checked by any of the partnere. Although it •
may have happened that a clerk performing such • duty hi
an extensive stage a/ nasekenees tnnoneetir nen to blue
den, we cannot avoid the ronvionou that most of the
blunders would have been obviated bad ordinary are been
bestowed. The jury, under the direction of Mr. Baron
Martin, have declared that there was ao fraud, and we feel
satisfied that no fraudulent intention entered the mind et
the assistant who made the inventory of damage. Biddies*
is a dame of carelessness which, is the eye of the law, very
nearly approaches to bud, and we would therefore MOM
mend all the parties concerned to take from this case •
lemon of caution."

City of Lapin to • very moth extent, and he was sure he
