Ina in the service of • baker, who also kept a nattering-
boas, for letters, and the prisoner was eogaged is the bri-
m:cc and was likewire employed to carry out the letters. He
had undoubtedly neglected to deliver some of those letters,
and the only excuse he off wed wee, that he was at work late

deliver the lettere.

man wen engaged es a letter camer.
Mr. Bodkio, who appeared for the proereation, said he

there wee any reason for @apposing that the prisoner was
actuated by any felonious intention, and that he bad merely
neglected his duty in delivering the letters to their des-
tination.

sent by the post might be productive of my great incon-
venience and miechie!, and was a very minas offence, which
ander ordinery circumaimicee WS,I always visited with severe
punishment. In the present cave, however, taking into con-
sideration the prisoner'. youth, and the came facts which
had brim urged on hie behalf, be thought It only nen:usury
to order bum to be farther imprisoned fir one month.

TM learned Commieslonsr, is passing sentence, said the
offence of which the pruown had very properly been con-
victed was not one to be lightly regarded. it was very bad
for the prisoner Goldstein so bring an action, and not only
himself commit perjury, but suborn others so do so ; but as
he bad no doubt that the prisoner Goldberg took an equal
part in the tresaartion, he should pass on each a sentence of
12 months' imprisonment.
