Mr. Harper, from the *Moe of Mr. Frogged, of Argyll.
street, appeared for the prosecution.
The prosecutor deposed to having frequently missed
property during the last two months, and identified a pair
of boots produced.
Robert Carter, a polios-oonstable in plain clothes in the
R division—l went to Mr. Kelsey's bows and saw the
prisoner, who at first denied any knowledge of Purvis
and idteddon ; but when the boots prodtmed were shown
to him he said They are my mother's property. I
will tell the truth. I have stolen about twelve pairs
sines Christmas. Purvis need to come of • morning
with a bag, and Sheldon would come and pay for them."

past, confined n Newpite, having been appointed to com-
mence on Monday next, active praperations are being made
for the occasion. The Lord Chief Justice of England has
announced his intention of presiding. Another of the
judges may possibly assist. As we stated a few days ego,
the case for the Crown will be conducted in person both by
the Attorney and Solicitor-General, and by Mr.
Giffard, Q.C., Mr. Poland, end Mr. Archibald.
The prisoners, or some of them, had evidently
looked to some assistance from the Sheriffs' Fund
in preparing their defence, on the grounds of their
povsirty and are accordingly disappointed that they have
teesired none, the sheriffs, or rather the committee for
the fund, having decided in effect that the fund
iriliargapplicable to each • purpose. About 300 per-
sons in all have been summoned to attend the court
on Monday morning to answer Si jurymen should their
names be called, sad, in default, each of them will be
liable to a oonsiderable fine. Thomason for so tumidly large
• number is that each of the six pinnace in tits murderess'
may, if he thinks fit, challenge 20 men in stiessecion as
they come to the book to be 'wean, sad before they are
sworn, and in the event of this right being emnised to
the full, or to any considerable extent, much delay might
otherwise occur in the completion of the panel. The two

Some attention has been directed to the circum-
stances, as mentioned onlVedneeday, under which
certain persons who tendered, on the Ist inst., for
government bills on India to the amount, it is said,
of about 130,0001., and then refused to fulfil their
engagements, have been suffered with impunity to
adopt a course so opposed to all honour and mer-
cantile practice. Fie other means of punish-
ment, it seems a pity that exposure of the names of
the defaulters should be withheld.

With reference to the Caledonian Railway divi-
dend of 11. fie. per cent., it is stated that the Lord
Ordinary, on application made to him yesterday,
has not withheld permission for its payment on the

i•:on, however, does not settle the questions at
;mine, for the cue of Mr. Glen is still coming be-
fore the full court in the course of next month.
