who had been imposed upon by the prisoner, Campbell and
Stanley, sad who created a disturbance in the office, eon-
pistols, of the treatment they had met with. Witness had
frequently been seat on business to the offices kept by the
prisoner and his associates in Xingsgatestreet, Brownlow
street, and Oust Queesetreet, when he saw them, and

bore upon the direct charge except that • complaint was
made upon the subject at the Clerkenwell police court, which
the magistrate refused to entertain upon the ground that it
should be decided in • superior court.
Mr. Jardine said that it wee • case which required serious
consideration, and be should order the prisoners to be re-
manded.

Other witnemes offered to give evidence of the frauds that
had been practised upon them by the prisoners, but they
were informed that ample opportunity would be afforded
them for that purpose on a future day.
Mr. Jardine renuaded the prisoners that he had not ex-
pressed any opinion respecting the several charges brought
against them, it being his intention to hear every case before
he would deride upon the course he would pursue, and, after
relenting to accept of bail for their future appearance, the
prisoners were removed from the bar.
