THE AMNESTY IN HUNGARY.

The Vienna Gazette publishes the following
autograph letter from the Emperor of Austria
relative to the amnesty :
Dear Chevalier de Somers,—My heart compels that on
the day on which I place on my head the crown of St.
Etienne a full pardon shall be awarded in my king-
doms and countries also which do not belong to the
crown of Hungary, to all who have been guilty of
an offence towards me or towards any member of my
imperial family; and that that memorable day may, as
far es possible, carry joy and consolation to those whom
misfortune bas struck, although by their own fault, and
may restore to liberty and to their families those who
have suffered the greatest part of their punishment,
and who have been discovered to be improved
and not dangerous to society. I think it well,
therefore, to remit all the punishment which has not yet
been suffered in the ease of those persons who up to the
day of my coronation es Bing of Hungary, and of the
countries under this crown, have been condemned for
offences against myself, or for offences against a mem-
ber of the imperial family, and to order that for
crimes of this kind if they were committed before the said
day, there shall be no judicial proceedings, so that
all the processes for deeds of this kind shall go for
nothing. I think it well also to remit completely in the
cane of 454 condemned prisoners named in the sub-
joined list the remainder of their terms of imprisonment,
to commute, in the case of four others, perpetual into
temporary imprisonment; finally to spare the lives of
eight persons condemned to death, and to leave to the dia-
-1 position of any supreme court the substitution for this
punishment of a suitable term of imprisonment. You
will take care that this act of grace may be executed on
the day of my coronation.

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.
• FLORENCE, Jrxr 10.
In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
Signor Torrigiani requested explanations from
Signor Rattazzi relative to certain accusa-
tions against the ministry contained in a pub-
lished letter dated the ith inst. from M. Brasseur,
the representative of M. Langrand Dnmonceau.
Signor Rattazzi, in reply, denied M. Bras-
setir's assertion, that the ministry had con-
sented to divide the articles of the Ecclesiastical
Property Bill, so as to deceive parliament and
sanction the retrocession of the property to the
clergy. Signor Rattazzi informed M. Brasseur that
the Italian government could in no way consult
Rome relative to the financial convention, apd he
I energetically repelled any idea of a preliminary un-
derstanding with the Papal government.

CLERKENWELL

IMAPYRATIt ASSAULT AND HIGHWAY ROBBERY.-COM-
MITTAL.

Ed word Konen tailor, and Ellen Cast Mon, a cosier.
monger, were charged with being concerned, with others
not in custody, in wilfullyassaultingMr. William Douglass,
at Farringdon.road, and stealing from his person a
watch, &c.

The complainant was passing along the Farringdon-road
at about It o'clock when he saw the prisoners and two
men in front of him. They surrounded him, and one
of the men committed a most violent tumult
on him, knocked him down and rendered him insensible.
The man that assaulted him was wearing a white coat.
titer the assault the man took off his coat and threw it to
the woman, and they all made off. The woman was taken
into custody with the coat in her possession, and was
brought to the court and remanded. From a description
given of the man police-constable Ranger, 199 G, appre-
hended the male prisoner outside the court, and when he
was told the charge he said that he knew nothing at all
about it. Ranger said that the male prisoner was the
companion of notorious theives and had been sentenced to
IM months imprisonment for felony. The woman had
been sentenced to three years' penal servitude.
The prisoners said that they were not the parties who
committed the robbery and that they would not suffer
wrongly as they should tell who did it.
Mr. Mansfield committed the prisoners to the Central
Criminal Court for trial.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

La Sunnambula was performed hero last night,
for the first and only time this season,with Mane. Adelina
Patti in one of her most charming impersonations—that
of Antina—and M. Petit, for the tint time, as Rodolphe.
Of all Bellini's operas La S.nnambala is that in which his
genius is most truthfully, and therefore most successfully,
developed. The genial grace of melody and unaffected
expression which he has given to the music of the pair of
village lovers, Amine and Elvin, are far more real and at
tistic than the stilted and crude efforts at the heroic and
the sublime, which, in his tragic operas (not even
excepting Norma), sometimes almost approach burlesque.
The simple pathos of a tale of village life was quite within
the scope of Belliat's genius, as his charming setting of the
Sonnaritbula has sufficiently proved—the music being •
natural and unaffected expression of a congenial subject.
Since its production, in 11131, with Madame Pasta in the
principal character, many great singers have identified
themselves with the part of Amine ; but none have more
perfectly combined the unaffected pathos and graceful
simplicity of the character with the highest refinements of
vocal art than MdUe. Adelina Patti. Her performance of
last night exhibited all that exquisite finish in acting and
singing which has rendered the part of Amine one of
her most attractive performances during past seasons. Her
air in the first act, "Come per me serene," and the fol-
lowing movement, "Seen it rien," were given with a
brilliant and flexible vocalisation and a tenderness of ex-
pression that are seldom united. Here, as in other por-
tions of the opera, her embellishments and ornaments
were as exquisite in taste as they were perfect in execu-
tion—a rapid and accurate shake, faultless chromatic
males, and elaborate passages reaching to E flat above the
lines—all these high executive powers, combined with
finished grace and charm of personal manner render McUle.
Patti's Amin a performance of exceptional excellence. In
the beautiful duet with Elvino, " Prendi Panel "—in the
passionate grief of the strata of the first finale ; in the un-
conscious, trance-like warbling of the sleep-walking
scene, and in the brilliant and joyous burst
of glad triumph of the final "Ah non ginnge,"
as in various other portions of the opera, Mille.
Patti called forth the warmest expressions of delight from
a crowded audience ; by whom, moreover, she was called
on to re-appear at the end of each act. M. Petit sang and
acted, as the Count, like the accomplished artist which
his various performances here have proved him to be ; his
principal effect having been made in the well-known cave-
tine, " Vi ravviso," in which his fine barytone voice and
florid execution were well displayed. Signor Fancelli,
who was a careful and efficient Elvino, gained great ap-
plause by his expressive delivery of the pathetic Mr,
" Tutto e @Melte." The remaining characters were filled
by Males. Ackerman and Anese, and Signori Polonini
end Rossi.

WESTMLNSTER.

A respectable-looking woman, about 30 years of age,
applied to Mr. Self, for redress under the following csr-
cumstances.
Applicant—l have been living u cook in the Bro.npton-
road, and I have to complain very much of the treatment
I received there. They have been opening my letters and
keeping them from me. They then ordered me out on
Saturday week without my wages, and turned me out into
the street with nothing but what I stand upright in.
Mr. Belle—What made them open your letters!
Applicant—l cannot asy, but they have opened and kept
other servants' letters as well.

Mr. Selle—How do you know they opened your letters!
Applicant—l found the letter two days after it had been
received under an ornament on my mistress's mantelpiece.
It was then open.
Mr. Selfe—They have no right to do this ; but I am not
aware that I have any power to help you.
Applicant—lt is very hard if youhave not. I went to the
postman who delivered the letter last week, and to the
postmaster, and both of them directed me to commence a
prosecution.
Mr. Selfe—lt is an offence for a letter-carrier to open •
letter, but not an offence for anybody else to do it. There
is no power to prosecute persons criminally out of the
Post.otfice.

Applicant—There were two stamps in the letter.
Mr. Selfe—lf you can prove that they took the stamps,
it may alter the case. How do you know the stamps were
sent?

Am, have seen the person who sent the letter
since, and I found one of the stamps upon the hearth-rug
at the time that I discovered the letter on the mantel-
piece.
Mr. Belle—They might have dropped out of the letter
unobserved.

Applicant—Can't you order them to pay me my wages!
Mr. Selie—l have no power to do so. Your remedy for
the wages must be in the county court.
Applicant—l think I have been very badly treated.
Mr. Sells—lt is certainly a most improper thing, but it
is not a subject for summons here. I will, however, send
one of the othoers of the court with you to see whether I
cal obtain you any redress.
Applicent—l am much obliged to your worship, for I
don't know what to do.

PARIS, APRIL V.
The Duke de Grammont returned to Vienna yes-

The Eknda,•d of this evening says :—" The
Minister of War has addressild a circular to the
different military commandants informing them
thatallofficers, non-commissioned officers, corporals,
and brigadiers, now absent on six months' fur-
lough must rejoin their regiments by the 30th
April, for the purpose of drilling the men of the
reserve on their way to the depots for that object,
as it is necessary that the cadres should be
complete."
The same journal states that the chief portion of
the Mexican expeditionary corps will be sent to
their homes on leave of absence.

Marshal Foray has had an attack of cerebral
hemorrhage. His condition is critical, but all hope
of his recovery is not yet abandoned.
The Patric publishes private despatches from
Berlin, according to which the views of England,
Russia, and Austria on the subject of Luxemburg
have been communicated almost simultaneously to
the Prussian government, and that the attitude of
those powers has therefore entered upon a new
phase. The Patric adds that the despatches of
the three powers all represent the political situa-
tion in a light favourable to the maintenance of
peace.

The interval that followed "for promenade and refresh.
went" scattered the great audience all ever the interior,
and everyone made off to the north end, to see what could
be seen of the remains of the late disastrous fire. It was gra-
tifying to find, however, how skilfully the ravages of the
great destroyer had been concealed, if not repaired, by the
palace authorities. The tropical screen was down, and
nobody need know that behind it mouldered on one aide
the mina of Grenada, and those of Byzantium on the
other. The spectator who was not too curious, and
did not seek to poke his head through the screen, might
fancy that the mammoth tree still towered to the roof,
and that the gigantic deities, Ahon Himbel and his faith.
Jul spouse, still gazed on it with Egyptian placidity from the
opposite side. A magnificent bank of flowers stretched across
from side to side, and finished off the south end so hand.
comely, that it was difficult to believe that no large a
portion of it had recently been carried away. ht the
Nityptian Court • tremendous crowd surrounded the
Oxford and Cambridge boats, and veh•unently discussed
the pros and eons of the late rime ; and this and the re-
freshments pleasantly filled up the time until the hell
rang for the afternoon performances Them Mr. Nelson
Lee produced a fresh corps of prodigies, beginning with a
really extraordinary pair of French gytimasta, who com-
bined strength, grace, and hardihood in their numetous
feats on the trapeze. Of these performers it may be
said without exaggeration that they are the beet of their
kind since Leotard,and that if theyremain in England until
the great man returns, he will certainly have to look to
his laurels. If anything could subdue the nervousness
with which one looks at performances of this description,
it would he the extraordinary grace, certainty, and finish
with which the Gerardo go through all their difficult and
dangerous poses. Of Mr. Lloyd's new dramatic perform-
ance which followed we could speak in terms of unqualified
praise, if he had not with very questionable taste intro-
duced an allusion to the late lamentable events inJamaica,
obviously with the view of raising a cheer for Governor
]tyre. The attempt was, as it deserved to he, an entire
failure, the laborious joke being received with the most
ominous silence; and it was not until Mr. Lloyd gave up
politics and assumed his more appropriate olle of " Dick
Donkey" that the hilarity of the audience was restored.
]hoe thence to the end the performances went on with
unflagging spirit, the children—and a good many of the
grown people too—laughed immoderately at the fun of
"The Village Torment," and the very clever dancers who
performed it were honoured with successive rounds of
applause. The entertainments were varied by Mr. Levy's
brilliant solos on the cornet-a-piston, and the programme
wound up with Mr. Coward's always popular performance
on the grand organ.

ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF ANTWERP.
NEW YORK, APRIL 1:I, MORNING.

The Supreme Court yesterday heard the arguments
relative to the application for permission to tile the
Mississippi petition for an injunction to restrain
the President from executing the Reconstruction
Bill. The Attorney General Stanberry argued that the
official dignity of the President removed him beyond the
jurisdiction of the court. In such cases he could only be
reached through the people or their representatives. If the
court granted the injunction Attorney General Stanberry
said he would advise tho President not to obey the order;
f the case were then pressed the court would be com-
pelled to arrest the President for contempt, and a serious
collision between the executive and judicial branches
would ensue. The President had exhausted his rightful
opposition to the Reconstruction Bill by vetoing it. His
only duty now was to execute the law as enacted.

Mr. Robert J. Walker, on behalf of the petition,
argued that the President himself had declared the Re.
construction Bill to be unconstitutional, and that the
Supreme Court was crested to decide contested point,
in constitutional law ; the case was therefore within the
jurisdiction of the court. The official dignity of the
President could not justify his executing laws enacted in
violation of the constitution, or the consequences of the
subversion of the constitution which the President had
declared to be accomplished in the Reconstruction Bill
would be more disastrous than the consequences of the
President's refusal to obey the mandate of the Supreme
Court issued in performance of its sworn duty to protect
the constitution.

The Senate adopted a resolution asking the President to
furnish copies of any opinions given him by the Attorney-

CRYSTAL PALACE.

The weather was not so fine yesterili“ at Syden-
ham as it had been on the previous Good FridLy, when it
attracted nearly fifty thousand people to the Crystal
Palace. It was, however, bright enough in the morning,
and the holiday people, who are not apt to stand upon
trines when their rare day's pleasure is to be achieved,
thronged both railways, and poured into tie, palace and
the palace gardens with their usual well ordered alacrity.
That need potent of necrou.ancers, Br. Nelson Lee. dace
outdone himself this year in providing novelty and variety
for his Easter audiences. Where he gets those never-ex•
haunted relays of contortionists and pneligies of various
kinds, of whom nobody has ever heard before, but who
become fatuous from the moment they have made their
bows under his auspices, is what nobody can tell but him-
self, and he is not at all likely to divulge the awful
secret. They are there, and they achieve 1.-Insoles, and
the public roust be content. making .are the: there will
be another fresh lot next year, all poured out of the s,me
" inexhaustible bottle." Mr. Lee began yesterday with
his " Parisian Mimes," who set the fun well going, and
culminated in a side-splitting comic gala dr lit Then
there were the stilt vaulters, who made wonderful
practice with their long supernumerary wooden legs. and
introduced emote really graceful novelties in their appa-
rently hasardourr performances. After that came the
" llibernian eccentricity," who sang a characteristic song,
and 'lanced something between an Irish jig and a planta-
tion " break down," and the morning's entertainment
finished with a yew version of the •• tiporta of Atlas" by
the Brothers Eiserelia. The vulgar idea is, and has been
up to this present Easter, that Atlas's sport was to carry
the world on his shoulders, but the brothers Risorelis
have changed all that: they poise it on their toes, and
dance and dandle it about as ordinary jugglers do an
orange. This performance, which was quite sew, and
which bad the advantage of being distinctly visible front
the very back of the orchestra, wan much and deservedly
applauded.

The MAYOR having briefly opened the proceedings,
. _

The Rev. Mr. Oiand. moved the drat resolution, as
follows:—" That this meeting, reviewing the progress of
events, is more than ever convinced that the only true and
permanent basis of a just and equal represent►tion is re-
gistered residential manhood suffrage protected by the bal-
lot." The rev. gentleman, in the course of his observations,
mid they were determined to insist on universal manhood
suffrage, both for the boroughs and the counties, and they
would not desist from their agitation until they had
roused the whole country to insist upon this concession to
the rights and privileges of every Englishman.
Mr. G. NerrALL seconded the resolution, which was sup-
ported by Mr. W. Wiuoitr, who strongly denounced the
intrigues of Mr. Disraeli, and the treacherous conduct of
political nonentities like Mr. Roebuck, Lord Grosvenor,
1 and Mr. Doulton and their friends.

Mr. Beatza spoke to the resolution, congratulating the
people of Birmingham on the result of the day's proceed-
ings, which eclipsed their now historical efforts in 1812.
They were true to their traditions, and they would in
1867 insist upon the great work of 1832 being completed
by a real measure of democratic reform, and not another
sham aristocratic dodge, which could never settle the ques-
tion. The bill was full of the most gross and the most
unjust inequalities. It could never satisfy the demands
of the people, who had now risen in their might, and were
determined that an aristocratic monopoly of political
power should exist no longer.
The resolution was carried amidst loud cheers.
Mr. J. 8. Warmer moved the second resolution—" That

REFORM DEMONSTRATION AT PLYMOUTH

AND DEVONPORT.

A reform demonstration which, both in point of
numbers and in earnestness, may be considered to be a great
success was held yesterday at Plymouth and Devonport.
The following resolution was carried :—" Remised, that
the Reform Bill of the present government Is unsatisfac•
tory as asett:ement of the franchise, andlthat this meeting
is of opinion that no measure which does not include
the principles of the Reform League—manhood suffrage
protected by the ballot—is deserving of the favourable
consideration of the nation."

PARLIAMENT AND ITS LEADERS.

It is remarked by the Daily News that the present par-
liament, elected under the auspices of • politician who
substituted generalship for statesmanship, is far more in
sympathy with Mr. Disraeli than with his scrupulous and
sensitive opponent. It was the liberal party in the country
rather than the liberal majority in parliament which called
Mr. Gladstone to the front. But with such a house Mr.
Gladstone could not be expected to succeed. Not possessed
of any earnest conviction, it was unable to respond to an
earnest policy. Primarily opposed to refonn, and now pro-
ceeding with it simply because of the danger of postponing
it for such a parliament, Mr. Disraeli, and not Mr. Glad-
stone, is the fit leader. Mr. Disraeli never shows his
great ability to more advantage than in admitting • prin-
ciple, but providing against all its consequences. His Re-
form Bill exhibits all this cleverness, and just hits the
mood of the house.

MCKIM

THE ONE Agee V. TH2 Owl Laios.—As in Music and the
Drama. things " sensational " appear beet to accord with the
popular taste, so Mr. Morris, the spirited proprietor of the
Middlesex County Ground, at Islington, seemed to think with
regard to cricket. and in order to gratify the appetite of the
many thousand holiday keepers on Raster Monday, who seem
determined to go somewhere and see something, he last week
annotinced a match which has always proved highly attractive,
viz., between the One Arms and One Legs. Originally this match
was played by the Pensioners of Oreenwich Hospital, but the
two elevens engaged yesterday, although minus an extremity,
were for the most part young and active men, and many
of them appeared anything but • cripples." The day being fine
there was an early and full attendance, more than ROOD persons
being present at o'clock. The "One Legs" haring won the
, took first innings, and to Birelunore, whe went in first
wicket down, and put together 44 by some plucky play, they
' owed their respectable position at the close of the innings,
which amounted to WA The "One Arms" defended their wickets
creditably, Redfern proving a " sticker," being returr ed u " not
out" V, at the time for drawing the stumps. Aldridge 's was
an acceptable contribution, and the total, with nine wickets
down, was IV.

The cricket season of 1867 wee Inaugurated yesterday on the
Trent Bridge Ground, Nottingham, the weather—notwithstand-
ing most adverse appearances—proving very favourable. The
large quantity of rain which had previously tallest rendered the
ground extremely deed, and the 86 obtained by the Colts may
consequently be taken as representing many more than one
hundred runs. There was an excellent display of betting,
Walter Price. of Inddington, the highest scorer, obtaining his
runs 'l9) well. The test to which the Colts were subjected
was most severe, as Woolton and J. C. Shaw never
bowled better, and the eleven were " all there " in
the field; Ifiddulph also keeping wicket admirably.
The "bit" of the Innings was one by J. Butler, off
J. C. Shaw. for five—a good, clean, low hit. The
twenty-two showed admirable bowling, that of Otcroft and
F. H. Farrands ,who with Summers will come from Nottingham
to play in the Colt's match this year at Lord's , being as good as
need be desired. Several chances were missed in the field, but
on the whole the fielding may fairly be described SI close and
good. Alfred Shaw batted wonderfully well. The following to
the score of the first days play : County Eleven, first innings
86; the Eleven, first innings, 65.

TOTAL DESTRUCTION OP THE ALBERT MILLS,
LIMEHOUSE.

GREAT LOSS OF PROPERTY.—(THIS DAY.)
The extensive waterside premises, known as the
Albert Steam-mills, situate in Iturdett-street, Limehouse,
were totally destroyed by fire this morning. These mills,
which were two storeys high, and belonged to Messrs.
Taletne and Co., emery and glass paper manufacturers,
had a considerable frontage, were fitted up with costly
steam machinery, and contained • large quantity of goods
and rough stock. The flames illuminated the whole district.
and could not be entirely extinguished until the mills and
machinery were totally destroyed, the only things saved
being the books and vouchers, which were deposited in a
fire-proof safe. As to the origin of the fire, nothing that
can be depended upon can be learns at present. When the
mill was closed last night it appeared perfectly safe and
free from fire. It is stated that the mill and its contents
were partially insured.

EVORA! DEMONSTRATION AT LEICESTER.

A town's meeting was held in the Temperance-
hall, Leicester, under the presidency of the Mayor, Mr.
T. W. Hodges, to give the inhabitants an opportunity of
expressing their distrust of the government reform bill.
Previou. to the time of meeting, bands of music paraded
the micros and a procession was formed in the market
place headed by the leading reformers of the town, when
the great roam of the people proceeded to the place of
meeting. The hall was soon crowded to overflowing. The
members for the borough, Mr. P. A. Taylor and Mt. J. D.
Harris. on entering were received with enthusiasm. Mr.
Alderman Toiler moved, "That in the opinion of this
meeting the government reform bill is unsatisfactory and
deceptive in its provisions, and entirely unworthy the 1/43-
port of the reformers of this country," which was seoosded
by Mr. W. Charlesworth, supported by the Rev. W. Woods,
and carried unanimously. Mr. Aldertnan Whetstone
having proposed a vote of thanks to the borough
members for their noses against personal ratepaying as a
bailie of the franchise, seconded by Mr. Samuel Baines and
supported by Mr. Alderman Viocars and Mr. G. I:. Lellllloll,
it was (=railed unanimously. Mr. P. A. Taylor, on
rising to respond, was received with great cheering. Mr.
Taylor proceeded to review the position of reform, and to
state the part he had taken in the recent movements of
the liberal party. To understand how far the present
house was prepared to I's:meetly deal with reform they
must remember that there was nothing received in the
house with such contempt as every refer-
ence to the rights of man. They would find
that hued, game, and class were represented, but man was
entirely ignored. They knew something of the animal
known as the PC householder. It was said that a human
being had graduated from the gorilla, and it might be
that a man might yet oome from the 101. householder.
(Laughter.) He explained Ohe part he had taken in eon.
aerie@ with the ter-room party, and said he was entirely
against drawing a hard line, which prevented all progress
on the part of those below sash line. He had read a letter
in which Mr. Gladstone's resignrtion of the leadership
min conveyed, from which he inferred that Mr. Gladstone
had thrown the whole case upon the country. He
thought the only mirtake Mr. Gladstone had ovule this
session was to name a figure which was less liberal
than household suffrage. In the present aspect of the
question he would say," Down with the bill, out with the
government—Gladstone and household suffrage." (Im-
mense cheering.) Mr. J. D. Harris also addressed the
meeting, enforcing the necessity of union in the liberal
party, and giving his adhesion to household suffrage. The
hon. member was loudly cheered. A resolution of confi•
dente in Mr. Gladstone was unanimously adopted on the
motion of Mr. Paget, seconded by Mr. James Thompson,
and supported by Mr. 8. Payne. The meeting terminated
in s vote of thanks to the mayor.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Serjeant Dowling.)
THE RETURNED tONVItT OUTWITTED.

Charhs Hooper, 32, engineer, was ladieted for stealing
a purse and the sum of Cif. in gold and silver money, the
pr of James Harper Gibbons.

was a curioua case. The prisoner went to the pro-
secutor, who is a photognipher, carrying on business at 3,
lligh-street, Kensington, and represented that he had an
order for some card portraits and wished to be shown
some. He said his name was George Fleming, and that
they were for Old Malden Rectory, Kingston. He was
shown some and be ordered a dozen. Prosecutor said to
to him he would not offer him money for getting him the
order, but would take his portrait for him. He
commenced taking it, and almost immediately the prisoner
as if recollecting himself, suddenly jumped up, and said
he would return in a quarter of an hour. He did not re-
turn. Prosecutor having occasion to go to his desk missed
his purse which contained above 5/. in gold and silver
Loney. No one but the prisoner had been in the
room from the time when he saw it safe till
he missed it. Prosecutor sent the portraits he selected
ti the place he said they were for, and found that
to ouch things had been ordered. The prisoner was left
alone in the room where the desk was for about five
i.duutes. After the prosecutor missed his purse
he thought of the prisoner, and just deeming it pos-
sible that the lik might be on the glass,
even although the prisoner had eat imch a short
time, he " developed it, and to his astonish-
ment found that lie had succeeded in taking an
excellent portrait. He at once printed it off, and sent a
COPY round to every wilier-station, together with a full
description of the thief, and an account of the way in
which the robbery had been committed. This happened
on the 12th of June. On the sth of July, Polioe-sergeaut

stealing a purse from a house in Kensington. Pri-
a..ber 'aid there was not M. in the purse, although
I binaway had not mentioned any amount. He also said
1 officer was mistaken, and when he was shown his own
~.ness he add he knew nothing about it. Dunaway said
aohtvly could mistake him by that likeness, and be replied,
not often that people who take likenesses have U.
in their purse." To which Dunaway rejoined, that he
had not said anything to him about photographic people.
