In answer to another question put by Serjeant
Ballan-
tine, the wide., mid that the prisoner's daughter's hand-
writing resembled slightly her own, and she had men her
write ; but she did not think a letter (produced) was
written by her.
The grin-emir here declared that she would mad for her
daughter if her evidence was required.
Dlgby Seymour told her to be calm. and not inter-
fere ; be would take can of her interests.

ereas-examinataoa continued—l gave the prisoner a re-
ceipt ter 6001., dated the same day that the item is
in the account. It is the same now produced;
Inchirr do not think the whole of it was written by me.
I gave the prisoner a written authority to dispose of all the
raty belonging to me that was in her poeseesion, but
never rendered me any amount respecting it.
Mr. J.-mph Baynes, of Pekoe-chambers, St. James's-
street, the solicitor referred to in the ease, was then exa-
mined. He said that he was the landlord, as mortgagee,
of the house at which Madame Rachel resided in New
Bond-street. In Juno, 1886, the prisoner introduced Mrs.
Bomulaile to him, and said that she owed her some
mom's-, and she wished him to sell nut some stook that
was in the funds. This was dons. and the result
ea+ that the stock was sold for 9631. 2e. 11d. Wit.
nets twelve.] a crowed cheque from the broker in
the tint instance. and be paid it into his banker's.
Cn the same day, the 14 of June, ho gave the prisoner a
cheque for 550/. He then deducted discount that was due
to him from Madame Raohel, which was 1251. On the
24th of June, at Madame Rachel's request, he charged her
with another quarter's rent, and the balance went into
account with Madame Rachel fur future rent. The actual
operation was that witness received 2501. for a year's
rent.

The Commissioner—Do you mean to say that Mrs. Dor-
radaik did not get a farthing of this money?
Mr. Haynes—Yea my lord.
Examination continued—l heard that Madame Rachel
had accounted to Mrs. Itorradaile for 1701. of the money.
Merjeant Ballantine—That was part of the 1,0001. we
have heard of for "beautifying."
Mr. Haynes—l had nothing to do with that.
Tne witness went on to say that Mrs. Borradaile after-
wards called upon him and informed him that
the was pressed for debts, and she wished him to
sell her reversionary interest in some property
at Streatham. This was done, and the sum realised
by the sale was 1.3401. He afterwards paid a sum
of 1,4001. to Madame Rachel, Mrs. Borradaile having
provided the balance. I advanced 401. to the prisoner at
her request, a few days before I myself actually received
the 1.34 W. When she asked for this sum she told me that
Mrs. Borradaile owed her money, and that it would go in
the account. Mr. Haynes went on to say—l advanced her
201. more on the 30th of August, on the 31st I gave her
2011. At this time the 1,340/. had been paid into my
bankers to my credit. I gave the prisoner 2201. on the
Ist of September, and also cheques for other sums which
were taken out of the 1,3401. Moon after this time Mrs.
Borradaile was arrested for a debt of SU/. I hat the
order of Mrs. Borradaile to pay the prisoner the sum of
1,1001. When another quarters rent became due from
Madame Rachel, I deducted that also from the amount.
In December, Madame Rachel sent to me for 51., and I
gave her a cheque; and in January, 1867, I gave her
another cheque for 2721. 14s. ad., and the balance has
been subsequently arranged for between Madame Rachel
and myself. I gave her the balance in two sums. Mrs.
Borradaile certainly never bad a farthing of it.
Mr. Commissioner Kerr—Did you ever ask Mrs. Bor-
radailo anything about the 1,4001., and what it was for ?
Mr. Haynes—Yea, and she told me that it was for money
that had been advanced to Mrs. Borradaile, and I under-
stood that this money had been paid to Mrs. Borradailo's
cousin, Captain William Edwardes. Madame Rachel
told me the same thing, and she also said that she
bad receipts for all sums of money that she had
paid over to Captain William Edwardes and other
persons, at the request of Mrs. Borradaile. I under-
stood from Madame Rachel she acted as a sort of banker
for Mrs. Borradaile. Another portion of the Streatham
property was sold afterwards, and the amount of money
actually received, after a mortgage had been paid
off, was 1,3801. This sum I paid into my bankers,
and I paid various RUMS on account of debts
that were owing by Mrs. Borradaile to various tradesmen,
and upon some of which she was being sued, and the
money was paid to prevent her being sent to =lens;
One of these bills was for 1651. for velvet
mantles, and other articles supplied in May, 1868. The
RUM of 1001. was also paid to Mr. Pike, the jeweller,
for forfeiture of an agreement to purchase diamonds
of him to the amount of 1,2601. These diamonds had never
been delivered, but Mrs. Borradailo had given a promil-
EOry note for them.
Sec jeant Ballantine—Then the transaction was that the
diamonds were purchased but never delivered, and Mr.
Pike had 1001. for nothing ?

Mr. Hurled t.aid that lila No.
Mr. Comnriaaioner Kerr—The promiviery note state«
that the iretrument was given for " value received.-
There had been no value received. . . .

Mr. Haynes then went on to say that the balance of the
amount referred to, 700!., was subsequently handed over
to the prisoner. A quarter's rent comprised a portion of
the amount that was paid to the prisoner.
At this stage of the case the court adjourned for the pur-
pose of taking some refreshment.
After a short delay, the trial was resam&l.
Mr. Haynes, on cross-examination, in answer to Mr.
Digby Seymour, stated that he had distributed no money
without the written order of Mrs. Borradaile. She told
him she owed Madame Rachel 800!. and another person
200/. She did not inform him of the nature of the debt
of 1,000/.
The cross-examination of this witness continued some
little time, and he was still in the witness-boa when our
report left.

(Before Mr. Justice Keating.)
CSASOE OF BTABVVO A MILD TO DEATH.
William Brooks, 28, bootmaker, and Caroline Brook!,
big wife, aged 29, who stood remanded from last session,
were indicted for feloniously killing and slaying their
child Barbara Brooke.
Mr. Taylor conducted the prosecution, end Mr. Collins
appeared for the defence.
The circumstances of the case were of a very peculiar
character, the offence imputed to the prisoners being that
they caused the death of their child by negligence. It ap-
peared that the prisoners, with five children, the
eldest of whom was seven years of age and
the youngest twelve months, occupied a room at
13, Charlotte-street, Horton, paying 4s. 6d. a week
rent. The male prisoner was • bootnsaker, but was
earning very little wages—about 12e. a week. The evi-
dence disclosed the fact that the prisoners were in the
habit of going out in the evening and leaving the
children locked in the room until a late hour in a very
dirty state, and without uny food, and the three younger
children were entirely destitute of clothing. On July 2'2 the
prisoners were out all night and next morning the atten-
tion of some of the neighbours was called to the state of
the children, and as they were in • greatly emaciated con-
dition the polio, were called in, and the children were sent
to the workhouse, where the youngest, Barbara, died
four days afterwards. On a post rtam exami-
nation being made it was dieoovered that the
child bad been suffering trom inflammation of the lungs,
and that death had been accelerated by the want ofgurozer
nourishment and care. The prisoners were accordingly
given into custody, and the prosecution was in-
stituted by the parish of St. Mary, Shoreditch.
It appeared that on one occasion, on the 7th July,
the prisoners. were out all day on an excursion from
Bin the morning until 10 or 11 at night. The landlady
and • neighbour went into the room and found the
children lying in a state of filth, and there wee no food in
the room but a cruet of bread. Some food was given to
them and they ate it up very ravenously, but the youngest
named to le, dying, and gave very little signs of life.
[The trial was proceeding when our report left. ]

FHAUDO us TUN CLIARITABLE.--OuNTICTION OF TWO

Ain SesitA and James Whes, two labourers, who gave
false addressee, were charged with obtaining money by
false pretences from several tradesmen in Upper-street,
Islington.
It appeared from the evidence that Matthew Fade,
street-keeper to the pariah of Islington, saw the pri-
soners going into several shops, and suspecting that all
was not right, when they loft he went in and aicer-
taieed that they had presented a petition asking for money
for the widow and children of • man who they
stated had driven a parish water cart, and who had been
killed by the horse having run away and caused him to full
under the wheels of the cart, which went over him.
Knowing that the story was untrue, the street keeper ob-
tained assistance and convoyed the prisoners to the police-
station, and whilst he was gone to fetch one of the parties
from whom the prisoners bad obtained money the prisoners
tore the petition into several pieces. Nothing was known
of the antecedents of the prisoners.
The prisoners said they were guilty, but they wore
compelled to do it to get a little money to take home to
their wives and families. They had bee Copping and

complainant, • lady-like ya weetiVill thet
on Saturday lag at mid-day AO wee near 11.01111111, Ili
and not knowing her wity to the Caledottiaa *Woo
of the North London Railway she asked the prisoner, who.
was most respectably dren4 if be could direct her. He
mid that ha would, and that as he wee rang there to pay
some men who were employed thereby kit be would air
her. AS they were going along the prisoner said
her bag appeared to be hea3,ow:d
_prollored to
carry it for her, and sits his to, do
so. He took bar through several sleek and, gat
what appeared to be a doorway, told to watt • mo-
nad, se he was only going to speak toneo of Lb tea.lnstead of being a Ism" at was a court, and the primmer
ran away with her bag. She gave information to the
police, and she did not see either the prisoner or
_her pro.
piety until he was in custody.
In answer to Mr. Ricketts, the witness stated that she
was certain thetgssier was the man that took her bag.
Nearly all her • bad been recovered.
ue Pol-orestable avid Lewis, 19 Y Reserve, said he
saw the prisoner carrying a bag and walking the side
of the complainant on Saturday. He afterwards received
iaformation of the robbery, and last night saw the pri•
neer and told him be " wanted " ban for stealing a
leather bag. He was very indignant, said he war a re-
spectable man, and be (witness) had better be careful
what be was about ; but he afterwards gave bim such in-
formation as led to the recovery of the bag and most of
its contents.

hfr. Ricketts said that this was plainly* case of being
suddenly led into temptation, for the prieoner was a man
well to do, and was boni tide going to the North London
Railway, when he was spoken to by the complainant.
His being short of money, and thinking the bag con-
tained valuables. led him in a moment to forfeit a cha-
racter ho bad held for years. The police knew him as a
respectable man, and under hie advice he should plead
guilty and throw hinuelf on the mercy of the court, and
at the same time he hoped that the magistrate would take
into consideration the fact that the prisoner had done all
in his power to make reparation by having the stolen
things returned.
Mr. Cooke raid if anything had been known against
the character of the prisoner be should have seat him for
trial. It was a cruel robbery, and the prisoner must have
intended to rob complainant as soon as she spoke
to him. Taking into consideration what had
been urged in the prisoner's favour he wield
not do less than pass upon the prisoner the severed mew-
trnce be had in his power to do, vim. that he be im-
prisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correc-
tion for six calendar months.

The prisoner, who seemod to feel hie position scutoly,
wee thew removed In custody.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
FORKION DOWILANIO. _

Two fereigners,(s;/;?-ii/;•td and Alfred Dories,
were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with feloniously enter-
ing the premises of M. Emile Agard, a French chemist.
of No. 47, Gerrard-street, Sobo, and stealing a quantity of
Prore,ll.
The privirutor said, through Mr. Albert, the inter-
preter, that on the previous night, about 9 o'clock,
lie went out, locking the door of his shop
before going, and another door loading to the
I assage was also locked. He returned in about
half-an-hour and when he tried to open the street door
with his key ho found something at the bottom of the
door which prevented him doing so, and at the same time
he heard the noise of breaking of glass. Suspicious that
there were thieves in the house he called " Police!"
genie persons can,. and he authorised them to break open
the door, and they did so, and he then wont in with
a police constable, who called his attention to
the door which he had been unable to open, and he then
paw that it had been bolted by some portion on the inside.
The scales and weights were gone from the counter, the
clock was removed from the place where it had been hang-
ing over the door—a pair of steps standing there. There
was on the counter a hat not belonging to him (pro-
secutor). On going into the parlour ho found two
bags filled with his property. (The bags wore Pro'
duced in court, and contained a miscellaneous collection
of property.) He then saw that the window of the back
parlour looking into the yard was open, he having left it
shut. A few minutes afterwards the prisoners were
brought back to the place, and at that time several con-
stables were present. In getting of the window of
the parlour some glass was broken, and there was blood
near the place. lie had seen Rolland at a café, but had
never spoken to him.
Police-constable James Adams, 136 C, said that the
prosecutor, who was standing at his door, said that he
believed there were thieves in the place, and that he could
not get in. He sent for another constable, and, with the
prosecutor's authority, the door was forced open. He
found the property produced in the two bags packed up
ready for removal. The back parlour window was open.
He afterwards found Reiland at a public house, and
the landlord stopped the other prisoner.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt,
The constable said the public-hone adjoined the hack
of the prosecutor's house, and that Rolland had his hands
cut.

James Clements. of No. 5. Tower-street, harness-maker,
proved going after one of the prisoners, and bringing him
. _

Police-constable Weeks, 60 C R, said on searching Rei-
land be found upon him 1101110 skeleton keys and a pair of
razors.

Mr. Agard identified the razors as his property.
Mr. Albert informed Mr. Tyrwhitt that these had been
seven burglaries committed by foreigners during the past
fortnight.
Inspector Harrhon said there had been several robberies
of a similar kind to the present lately, and there was every
reason to believe the prisoners wore concerned in them.
Weeks said that Reiland bad no hat on, and on his
asking him if the hat on the counter belonged to him, he
replied " Oui. oui." He afterwards found a key in the
lock on the inside of the door, and on showing it to the
prisoner ho said, " Yes, it's mine ; you found it in the
passage door." Reiland, in getting out of the window,
hurt his foot, and cut his hand. On searching the
prisoners' lodgings, he found there several files, saw.. and
keys.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoners.

FIRST arszmanT cezmunoir FOR INDRZZLEMENT.
Charlcs Effrard RedO, aged 17 years,was brought before
Mr. Paget charged with beletuously embezzling one
sovereign, which he had received for and on account of
Nis master, Mr. David Waite, grocer and chcesernonger,
of No. 1, Spring Garden-place, Stepney.
On the bth inst. the prosecutor entrusted his boy with a
parcel of goods to deliver to Mr. Frederick Wicker'', a
customer of his, at No. 70, Broad-street, Rat lift. The
prise of the goods was Ile. I Id. and the prisoner re-
ceived Bs. Id. of his muter with the parcel to enable him
to give change for u sovereigu, in accordance with a pre-
concerted arrangement with Mr. Wickera. The prisoner

with the money. He we. not heard of until yesterday
when be was arrested by Henry Roper, • police-constable
No. 428 K, to whom he said he we guilty, and that he
was tempted to change the sovereign.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, and said he bad no excuse
to make.

Paget said the legislature had recently given power
to the magistrates to deal summarily with PUMA of em-
bezzlement when a plea of guilty was made by the party
charged. Me should exercise the power the lemsMture
bad conferred upon him by sentencing the prisoner to six
months' imprisonment and bard labour.

TIMER VAN DRIVERS COMMITTED FOR MAE-
IFLAVOII77I.—Laat evening Dr. William Hardwieke, the
deputy-coroner for Central Kidd/mem, held an inquest at
University College Hospital in reference to the death of
Mrs. Nary West, aged 40, who was knocked dawn by one
van and run over by two others, whereby she lost her life.
John Hemimp stated that about II o'clock oa the night
of the 14th July he seat his daughter for an errand across
College-street, Camden-town, and as soon as she started
one of Collard and Collard's vans, immediately followed
by two others, came on at a reckless pace. He ran across,
thinking his child was run over, but saw the woman
lying prostrate in the road. He loudly shouted to the
drivers to stop, end ran after them, but they
took no notice. He, however, saw the name of
the 0W1143111 on the tarpauling of the vehicles.
John Williwns said he saw the three vans on the night
in (motion standing at the door of the Crown
public-Louse in the ht. Pancras-road. He proceeded as
far as Pratt-rtreet, College-sheet, when the same vans
came along at a rapid pace. He saw the back of the last
van tilt, and thinking some goods had fallen from it he
went to see whether it was so ur not. The deceased was
lying in the road unable to move. Witness noticed that
not more than five seconds elapsed before each van fol-
lowed the one before it. The police were immediately on
the spot and the deceased was taken to the hospital. It
was found on post-mortem examination that she had sus-
tained a fracture of the right femur or thigh bone. No
union had been effected and the cause of death was ex-
halation from the fracture. The three drivers of the vans
volunteered statements. The driver of the first said he
was sure he did not drive over the woman, and the other
two said they knew nothing about the occurrence. The
coroner then referred to the evidence, and the jury con-
pelted upon the verdict with closed doors. After a long
deliberation a verdict of numslaughter was separately
delivered against William Tuna, Francis Lawson, and
Devotee: Allington. The coroner signed his warrauts of
committal, but said he would accept bail.

stocks are steady, viz., Metropolitan, at 107 to 1 ;
London and North Western, at 1121 to 1131; and
Great Western, at 491 to 30.
With reference to a telegram from New York,
dated the Bth inst., which reported shipments of
specie for Europe on that day to the extent of

added ih the telegram, and that the amount of
the day's allipmenta was really 50,0001.
The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon

more in favour of this country as regards bills on

DISTREASINO SVICII,E OF A SURGEON.—Yestor-
day morning, Mr. T. W. Ranrome, of the firm of Ran-
some and Latham, surgeons, at Harlaston, committed
suicide under very distreesing circumstances at his
residence in Church-street. in that town. Early in the
morning, it seems, he visited some of his patients, and,
while out, procured an ounce of prussic acid at the shop
of Mr. Butler. chemist. On his return home he took
his seat in the dining mom, where Mrs. Ransoms left
him, while, with her servant, Sarah Jones, she went to at-
tend to certain domestic duties in another part of the
berme. A very short time later, or about a quarter to 10
leek, both Mrs. &insular and her servant were alarmed
bi hearing Mr. Ransomo groaning, and on returning to
tie dining room they were horrißed to find him evidently
in • dying state. With great promptitude, however, Mr.
Cartridge, aurgeon, was sent for, and he immediately at-
tended, but could do nothing to save the sufferer, who
died before 10 o'clock. An ounce bottle, nearly empty,
but which had contained prussic acid, and which bore
a fresh label, with the words "hydrocyanic *MU
thereon, was found by his side. The deceased.
who was about 54 years of age, leaves on children.
It is raid that for some time beforehis death he had mani-
fested symptoms of unsound mind. He was much re-
spected. and gnat sympathy for his widow is *sprees/A.-
