two objects to be sought, one to give votes to the
artisan class, who by their skill and intelligence
had shown they were well worthy of it, and the
other was to check that prevalence of bribery which
had been caused by rich persons who went to
boroughs and sought by corruption to obtain a
seat in the House of Commons. But this
bill would not attain either of these objects for the
artisans would be so out-numbered that they would
have warmly any voice, and the poorer class of
persons would be open to bribery. He doubted
whether the next House of Commons elected under
this bill would be as good as those which had been
returned for the last 35 years. The redistribution
part of the scheme would require consideration.
He charged the leaders of the conservative party
with hypocrisy and dishonesty in pretending to be
alarmed at the proposal for a 71. franchise, while
they were secretly determining to go much further.
That course was said to be adroit, but he doubted
whether it would be viewed with respect either in
that house or the country. He could not vote for
the amendment, containing as it did a passage
that the measure would not conduce to the good
govermnent of the country, and he recommended
Earl Grey to withdraw it.

The Earl of DERBY briefly replied to some of the
points that had been raised.
Earl GREY declined to withdraw his amendment,
but said he would not call for a division upon it.
Be added that he did not approve of the whole of
the policy taken by the third party last year.
The amendment was then negatived, and the
second reading was agreed to, and
The Earl of DERBY said he proposed to go into
committee on the bill on Monday.
The house adjourned at a quarter past one
o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TursDav, JULY 23.
Ie the Horte of Cowxoss yesterday, on the
motion for going into committee of supply, Mr.
GeeGoar called attention to the cases of the
Tornado, the Victoria, and the Cyclone. His
reason, he said, for bringing the matter forward
was that the neutrality of England might be pre-
served. He read extracts from the papers for the
purpose of showing that the Tornado and Cyclone
were in fact vessels of war, and he contended that
the Admiralty had been remiss because before
those vessels left this country they could have
investigated the matter and set at rest all sus-
picions as to the character of the vcasels.
Sir R. PALMER expressed his general concur-
rence in the policy of Lord Stanley, but thought
that instead of dictating to Spain the manner in
which she should conduct her prize courts, he should
have waited until the Spanish authorities came to a
decision, and should then have objected if there had
been any irregularity.
The ATTORNEY-GENKRAL defended the course
which her Majesty's government had taken.
Mr. B. CO* HRANE said the Tornado never was
intended for the Chilian service. She was intended
originally for the Confederates, but when the Ameri-
can war closed she was employed only for trading
purposes. It was true that the Cyclone, which
was now in the Chilian service, was built in the
same yard, but that was no evidence against the
Tornado. He complained in strong terms of the
treatment of the crew.
Sir R. COLLIER thought that while the Spanish
government could not be blamed for the capture,
' there were good grounds of complaint of the treat-
ment of the crew, who he thought were entitled to
indemnification.
Mr. Bazrr submitted that the Spanish govern-
ment was justified in the seizure, and that there
could be no complaint of the manner in which the
case had been conducted by the Foreign-office.
Mr. WYLD urged the claims of the crew to in-
demnification.
Lord STANLEY said in the case of the Victoria
the government did make an emphatic and serious
representation to the Spanish government, in order
to obtain her release, but it was not true that they
resorted to menace. With regard to the Tornado
he was not prepared to go into the merits of the
case, as it was still under legal investiga-
tion, and would probably be the sub-
ject of diplomatic correspondence. The
reason why they did not prevent the Tornado
sailing was that they were advised they would not
be justified in doing so. With regard to the
legality of the original capture, he was bound to
say that there was no blame attaching to the Spa-
nish government. As to the treatment of the crew,
it was impossible to deny that, both at the moment
of capture and subsequently during the early
period of their detention, undue and unnecessary
hardship was inflicted on them ; and that had been
the subject of emphatic remonstrance on the part
of her Majesty's government, and they had ob-
tained the release of the whole of the crew, except
Mr. Macpherson, who was peculiarly situated.
The question of indemnity to the crew would
depend on the character which was finally
given to the vessel. He thought that substantial
justice would be met by a new trial. The Spanish
government admitted the illegality of the first
proceedings. Her Majesty's government would
watch the case, but it was for the owners to watch
it for themselves.
The subject then dropped.
The Industrial and Provident Societies Bill was
read a third time and passed.
The sitting was suspended at four o'clock.
The house re-assembled at six o'clock.
Lord STANLEY, in reply to a question from Mr.
LAYARP, stated that the versions which had been
received of the story respecting the firing on a
Turkish cruiser by the Arkadi, a Greek blockade
runner, were contradictory ; but it did appear that
on the Arkadi being chased by a Turkish cruiser,
she fired on the vessel that pursued her. That was,
no doubt, a violation of international law. He was
informed that two other blockade runners, the Owl
and the Cormorant, were now engaged, but his in-
formation was unreliable.
Sir H. Barce called attention to the mortality
and sickness among the officers and men of the
naval squadron for the suppression of the slave
trade on the west coast of Africa, and moved that
the maintenance of that squadron is no longer ex-
pedient.
Sir J. ate said the slave trade was now much
diminished, and the squadron had been reduced
(ruin 24 to 17 vessels. It was not desirable to
withdraw the squadron altogether.
After a short debate the motion was withdrawn,
and the house was then counted out at five minutes
to eight o'clock.

stration of last year. Mr. Whalley, M.P., and several of
the prominent members of the executive were present.
Mr. Bealee, who presided, referred in strong terms to the
Royal Parks Bill. He said that unless the bill was altered
in cnm'v.ttee the league would declare openly the most
determined hostility to it. They would not, as far as they
were concerned, allow the right of public meeting to be
placed under the foot of the government, or be 'seri-
ficed to the fastidious judgments and whims of Rotten-
row. If there was to be • war of classes, which they had
anxiously endeavoured to avoid, let it come. To the park
they should go more determinedly than ever. Mr. Nisl•
ley. after giving Mr. Beales and the league the credit of
having been the chief instruments in passing the Reform
Hill, denounced the introduction of the Royal Parks
Bill as an audacious attempt to deprive the people of one
of their most constitutional rights.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN ALDERNOATE-STREET.
Last night, shortly after 12 o'clock, a fatal accident oc-
curred in Alderagate-street. It appears that a young
woman, named Lanny Middleton, of the class termed un-
fortunate, being, it is supposed, • little the worse for
liquor, leaned or rolled against two wooden gates, part of
a hoarding in front of a building in the course of erection
or repair. The place at night is usually under the pro-
tection of a watchman, but it seems he had left his post,
and had omitted to fasten the gates re:erred to. The re-
sult was that they Hew open, and the unfortunate girl fell
through into a hole some fifteen feet in depth on the other
side. When taken up she was quite dead, and was found
to have sustained a frightful wound in the head, and her
neck we, thought to have been broken. She was reanovel
to the deadhoooe in Little Britain.

(Before Vice-Cbancellor Stuart.)

INTIRNATIONAL CONTRACT .0011PANT-ER

PARTE THE OFFICIAL LIQUIDATOR OF OVEBEND, GURNEY,
AND CO. (LIMITED.)
In this case an application was made to the court for an
order giving the official liquidator of Messrs. Overend
and Gurney's beak leave to prove against the assets of the
International Contract Company for a claim in respect of
eight bills of exchange for a sum of 17,3001. The case
was a representative one, and involved similar claims to
the amount of 115,0001. The proof was resisted, on the
grounds that the bills, though accepted by the International
Contract Company, were not within the soope and objects of
that company, and were not " accepted at a meeting of
the board " of directors of the company, as by the articles
of its association they should have been. The objects of
the International Contract Company were, among other
things, to negotiate the raising of capital, and to raise
capital for other companies? and generally to transact the
business of capitalists, builders, and contractors. It was
not denied that the bills were formally correct.
Mr. Greene, Q.C., and Mr. Lindley appeared for the
official liquidator of Mesas. Overend and Gurney's bank,
who were honk fide holders of the bills for value ; Mr.
Bacon, Q.C., and Mr. J. N. Higgins was for the Inter-
national Contrast Company.
The Vice-Chancellor thought the acceptance of the bills
was not beyond the scope and powers of the company. It
was true that a clause of its articles directed bills to be
accepted at a board meeting, bet there was another claws
in them which extended the powers of the directors and
included the drawing of bills and notes by them as they
might think expedient; the claim must, therefore, be
allowed, and the costa of the application must be paid out
of the estate of the International Contract Company.

THE EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENTS BY A
STOCKBROKER'S CLERK.

At the Mansion-house police court yesterday,
William John Hunt, late of Hawksburst-lodge, Lower
Sydenham, clerk, was brought up before Alderman Sir B.
W. Carden, for further examination on the charge of em-
hauling end stealing large sums, the monies of Messrs.
Seymour and Elwyn, of ThrogniOrton-street, stockbrokers,
his masters and employers.
Mr. Bosley again attended as counsel to conduct the pro-
secution; and Mr. Sleigh appeared, as at the previous
examination, on behalf of the prisoner.
Mr. Bailey said he proposed now to oomplete that part
of the case opened at the last examination, relative to the
stealing a cheque for 9021. 10a., purporting to be drawn by
him in favour of Messrs. De Zoete and Co. It would be
remembered that it had bean shown that the prisoner, on
the 3rd April, 1865, drew a cheque for that amount, and
obtained to it the signature of one of the Arm, and that
upon that day no such sum was due by them to
Messrs. De Zoete. He tbould now show that no such
cheque ever passed through the hands of De Zoete and
Co., but that another cheque for 430/. 12s. 6d. was re-
ceived by them on the 4th April, and was passed in the
reVeway through their books.
Henry C. Bunning, cash clerk at Messrs. De Zoete,
was then called, and proved that on reference to the Isiah-
book he could state positively that on the 3rd April, 1865,
there was no such sum as 9091. 10s. owing to his firm by
the prosecutors, and that no cheque for that amount bad
ever been received by them. On the 4th April (on the
following day) there was a sum of 4301. 12s. 6d due, and
for that the prosecutors' cheque had been received and
been paid by witness into the bankers to the credit of his
employers' account.
Mr. Begley said that completed the case of stealing the
cheque for 9021. 10s., and he should close the ease of
steeling a sum of 1001. under these circumstances. On the
Ist September, 1865, a person named Hindley entrusted to
the brother of Mr. Elwyn, one of the prosecutors, the sum
of 246'. 13s, 2d. for the purpose of an investment,
that sum consisting of a cheque for 1461. 12s. 6d. and 1001.
in cash. This sum was paid over by Mr. Elwyn either to
his brother or the prisoner at the office of Seymour and
Elwyn. The cheque had been paid in, but the mall had
i not s •ny way been accounted for in the book/ of the
prosecutors' Arm. . _

• Mr. Henry V. S. Elwyn was examined, and proved that
he was brother of Mr. Elwyn, of the firm of Seymour and
Elwyn, and that he had held a sum of money for • person
named HimUey, with a view to an investment in the
funds. On the lat September, 1865, the amount in his
hands was 146/. 19s. ; and for this, he gave a cheque
on his own bankers, and that cheque, together with 1001, in
cash, he received from Hindley. The total amount he paid
over at Seymour and El 's office either to his brother
or to the prisoner, and the cheque was returned to him
from his bankers' as having been paid.
Mr. William Alfred Stone, one of the firm of accountants
who had been engaged by the prosecutors to examine and
report upon the state of their books in reference to the
prisoner's defalcations, was next called and examined by
Mr. Bosley. He proved that thebooks of the prosecutors
had been placed in his hands in the month of August last
Tear. They commenced fmm January, 1864, and ended
to June, 1866. The examination of the books occupied
two of his clerks incessantly between six sad seven
months under his superintendence, he himself having
devoted four months to their investigation. The accounts
in the books involved transactions of great magnitude.
The cash book and ledgers for April, 1865, contained no
account of,the 9021. 10s. cheques in favour of De Zoete and
Co., but the eh us for 43M. 12s. 6d. had been duly en-
tered, and could be traced. On the 6th April, 1865, there
was an entry of 101. 10s. as paid by cheque to the prisoner,
whereas it had since been ascertained by the number and
counterfoil of the cheque that it had been drawn by
the prisoner for 2001. The witness further proved
the embezzlement by the prisoner on the Ist Sep-
tember, 1865, of Mt., as shown by an entry
by him in his cash book of the payment
into the bank of 1,9521. 16s. 7d., wheress the sum
actually paid in by the prisoner, as shown by the bankers'
pass book, was 1,7521. 16s. 7d., being a deficiency of 2001.
On the 11th January, 1866, the cash book contained an
entry by the prisoner of • payment into the bank of
6181. 151., but there had been no actual payment, and it
was not in any way accounted for. In the same way the
cheque received by the prisoner from Mr. Payne for 1301.
was not accounted for in any way. Though the examina-
tion of the books was commenced in August last, it was
not until be made his report that he had arrived at the
gross amount of the prisoner's deficits or defalcations, bat
in September last he was aware that they amounted to
considerably more than 2,0001.
In his cross-examination by Mr. Sleigh, the witness
stated that the books be examined were such as were
generally kept in a stockbroker's office. In the ledger for
1864-5 he found a debtor and creditor account between
the prisoner and the prosecutor. This account commenced
on the 15th January, 1864, and went on to the end of De-
cember, 1865, and it disclosed transactions between them
to the extent of from 8,0001. to 10,0001. in the aggregate.
The learned counsel proceeded by his questions to analyse
the various items comprising the account, but nothing
material was elicited.

In his re-examination by Mr. Besley, it was elicited
from the witness that the total deficits amounted to
14,2931. 15s. 9d., including all the cases which had been
examined into before the presiding alderman.
Mr. Braley applied for a summons to Mr. Grimm, a
stockbroker, to attend to give evidence, and to produce a
cheque of the proceeds of which the prisoner had availed
himself, and be must ask for a further adjournment for
Mr. Graves' attendance, as with his evidence he should
close the case at present. If those engaged for the prose-
cution should consider it necessary to prefer further
charges, due notice of the particulars should be given to
those engaged for the defence.
The applications were granted, and the prisoner was
further remanded until this day (Wednesday).
Mr. Sleigh expressed a hope that the depositions would
be furnished without delay, to enable him to apply to a
judge at chambers to admit the prisoner to bail.
