roust, cousin to Prince Demidoff, and brother-in-law to
the Duke of Hamilton, and who was °Deviated lad sedan
of obtaining mosey by false pretences from Thomas Caw*
Pierre Guillon, and William Rawlins, was brought up for
judgrneut. The case created • dial of interest.
Inspector Thompeoe, of the detective department of Soot-
land-yard, who has charge of the case, stated that sins the
prisoner bed beencondoted he had Went° Plymouth. where
he saw three parses to whom he showed a photograph of
the prisoner, sad they at tote identified him as the meal
by whom they had been defrauded, and they had made
declarations which he then produced. The first was from
a Mr. Jas. C. Hansom, a tailor, who stated that the pri-
sms: bad obtained from him goods to the amount of
241. 135., stating that he was a Russian count and had an
income of 2,0001, a year. The second declaration was from
Mr. Samuel Pease, keeper of the Royal Hotel, Plymouth, '
who said that the twister lodged at his house in the meath
of March, 1864, where he me up e bill for board and lode-
instulearepresented that he was Coast Eugene Mitkiewics,
, related to many high families, and he stated to
tae manager of the hotel that be danced with the Princes of
Wales two nights after her wedding. The third declaration
was from Mr.. 7. S. Banes, of George-street, Plymouth, howler,
who stated that the prisoner went to him and repseetted
that be was the Runlet Count Eugene Mitklewtcz, sod
that he was a person of high position, and on the strength
of this representation obtained • qquantity of hosiery. In
each of these case he had absaoaded, leaving the debts
unpaid.
Further communications received from America were
put in.
An dicer in the late Confederate army of America said
some months ego he was staying at the Greed Hotel in
Paris, where he met a gentlemen named Morton, who was
known to him, and Mr. Morton informed him that the poi-
soner had robbed him d 10,000 franca. The matter was rut
into the hands of the polio', but the prisoner decamped, and
they could not catch him.
Mr. Thomas Blanchard, soperintendeut of police at Barn-
staple, said he knew the prisoner in June, 1863, when the
prisoner west to a jeweller's shop sod sired for two
gold watches to be shown to a lady who was in • marriage
outside. When he got the watches he bolted with them.
He (witches) held a warrant for his apprehension on this
charge, but on the prisoner's friends, who were of the
highest respectability ia Devonshire, coming forward and
paying the money no further proceedings were Shen apioat
A New York paper was put in, with a large wood en-
Patin of "Eugene Milkiewies, the Diamond Coant."
The Asdatent-Judge said that the prisoner had been
convicted of three distinct offecess, and the court felt
called upon to make a public example of him. He bad
obtained his living in a most disgraceful way by defrauding
these pupas, and it was in the power of the court to pas a
sentence of five years' peed servitude upon each of the
three iedictineete open which he bed been sedated. His
career of fraud 1/1111 now closed for a considerable time, and
the seeteoce of the court upon him was that he be kept in
peed servitude for five years.
The " count" vpeared to be very chap-fallea at his NO.
