In the use of Sophia Mayen, the schoolmistress who wu
charged at Shia court on Friday last with neglecting a little
girl named Bailey, who had hese entrusted to her are, and
whereby her life bed been placed la imminent Miner, it
will be remembered that Mr. Daysten considered the cue
had kited, but ordered the prisoner to appear on Monday,
upon her entering into her own recognisanaes, to allow in-
quiries to be inane respecting the other children, who were
taken to Wandsworth to be cleansed.
Mr. Daymen did not sit on this occasion, but his colleen**,
Mr. Ingham, who was made acquainted with the cireum•
stenos, of the Cu. by Mr. Taylor, the chief clerk.
Mr. Ingham inquired if the woman Myers had sur-

quitted her wretched abode in Battersea on Saturday night,
ended* bad net been min eines. The child Bailey, who was
not expected to live on the hot occasion, died in the house
about 3 o'clock on Sunday morning.
Mr. Stringer, the relieving (facer of Battens., said the
two children (Finnan) had been claimed by their father,
who had seen the case in the newspopen, and they had been
taken home. He still had two more little girl, in the work-
house, betides the young woman, Coughlan. The little bay
who was attacked with typhus fever like the deceased was
removed to the Fever Hoepttal, and it was not expected he
would survive. Mr. Stringer said Mrs. Myen, before she
was diseharged on Friday, gave him the addressee of t►e
children's patents, bat he bad found that the addresses of
the two younger were fictitious, and he did not know when
to find their parents.
Mr. Ingham asked it the coroner had been communicated
with as to the death of the child.
Sergeant Buskin replied in the aMrsoative.
Mr. Ingham then said he had no doubt there would be a
coroner's Monist, and they had better wait until after that
Jogai:, before say other steps ware taken. His worship
also asked what sums were paid to the woman for boarding
thee. unfortunate children.

Mr. Stringer said he believed Mn. Myers was in the
habit of advertising to board, lodge, and instruct the
children for siateen guineas per annum.
Mr. /teems ezpressed come surprise at the smallness of
the amount, and said it was nothing MOHO or less than
pauper sharps.
Mr. Stringer said they could not be fed very well for that
sum. Each pauper in the workhouse net the pariah at the
rate of 41.13 d. par week.
Mr. Ingham, hating entered on the charge-sheet that Mn.
Myers did sot appear, the parties then retired.

THE FRAUDS ON THB GREAT NORTHERN
RAILWAY.

The question has been repeatedly asked bow it
was that Redpath Gould communicate with the bona fide
purchasers of the forged stock, so as to pay them at the
proper periods the amounts of dividends to which they were
entitled. To this very 'lateral, though somewhat perplex-
lug query, we ere now 'ambled to give a definite reply, The
mama M which this cllfficalt and delicate task was man-
sped was worthy of the genius and ability which Mr.
Ltopold Redpath brought to bear in his general transac-
tions. In a case, for instance, where he issued 2001. worth
of stock In a fictitious name, and sold it on the Stock Ex-
change to a bona fide purchaser, he afterwards increased
the amount by prefixing the figure "1," which made it
1,2001. As the registrar, he had of course, to den the
warrants for the dividends; but in the case of a fraudu-
lent transaction, instead of sending the party the dividend
warrant in the regular way, he would, at the proper
time, and for the proper &m ' ast seed a cheque, signed
"Leispold Redpath, Registrar." The addition of the word
" Registrar " appears, as we are informed, to have been
amply milkiest for the unamountable credulity of meny.who
knew they ought to have bad the regular dividend wal-
nuts, bet who, as they got the proper sums, at the proper
time, appear to have troubled their heads ao farther about
the affair.

to pat public compaaise on the poi owe with reopen to the
registratioa of stook. The direct•os of the Great Northern
Railway having found that, for upwards of two pan, they
bad been paying a dividend at the rate of 6,0001. per annum
on stock in suns of that which would appear to have been
issued, appointed competent parties to investigate the
annals ; and it is a singular feet that when these parties
were jut about to commence their labours, ens of them
exclaimed, "Before we begin alphabetically, let us just
look at Redpath's own account." This was done, and the
result is known. The erasures and alterations at once ex-
cited suspicion with regard to Redpath himself."
The espenses of the isquiries now pending will be very
enormous, se nmeesee are being summoned from all parts
of the country; it is actually asserted that all persons to

these pubes were well aware, many of them, that he
speculated largely in minis, shares, in Turkish Bonds, in
Ptomain stook, sad in various other eseuritisa. It is but
justice, however, to the direr
of the Great Northern to
state that those speculations wen in direct opposition to •
protein which they had emend from Redpath on appoint-
leg him to the ogles, upon the retirement of the lan regis-
trar, Mr. Clarke. Before making the appointment the
directors called Bodoni' into the room, and told his that, If
he were to be appointed to the office, it would only be upon
the distinct understanding that his Stock Recharge trans-
anion were to cease. Redpetles reply is said to have
been in these words:—" You may depend upon it, gentle-
an, that the enditions of my segagmeat shall be ob-
served ;" whereupon the appoiatneat ins confirmed. Bat,
in spite of his premise, Bedpan embarked largely in vari-

Oae of the swat remarkable features in his antecedents

was calculated to give him, he actually managed to get
