charged with having in their possession, offering and
uttering, 1,312 Urged flee rouble notes, four twenty-tire
rouble notes, abd one hundred rouble n0t..., representing
the current notes of the empire of R 114111& for the payment
of money, and duo conspiring to offer and utter the same,
and other bottle.

Mr. Campbell Sleigh, whose son attended on the first
examination, instructed by Meatus. Venniug, Naylor, and
Robins, solicitors, conducted the prosecution for the
It truism government.
The following legal gentlemen appeared for the defence,
Mr. Finlv, barrister, far iliolowyzeuk ; Mr. Metcalfe,
barrister, far Humus ; M.r.,George Lewis, fires Lewis and
Lewis, and Mr. Charles Soong, for Cohen ; and Mr.
Wontner jue., for Harris.
Thientiripinsition of the principal witness, Zohel Boskl,
a Hu Jeer, who was sent over to. this country to dis-
cover the ntansfaoterele of and dealers in Runners rouble
notes, was proceeded with, and lasted Ave hours. Many
letters! which had passed between him and the principal
delinquent, Frankel, a clothier and dealer in Liverpool.
were pd in, and it was proved that frequeut meetings had
taken plane in Liverpool and other places on the subject of
forged Russian notes, and finally a meeting took place in
London, at the lodgings of Boski, Flowiton-street. Mile-
end-road, where, according to an arrangement with In-
spector Thomson, of the detective police, the prisoners
were surprised, and a bundle of forged notes, which
Frankel had brought from Liverpool, was found upon him.
Inspector Thomson also took front Frankel a 50/. Bank
of England note, which be had given to Boski to pay for
the false notes. Frankolle papers, which Inspectur Thom-
son seized, involved the prisoner to a groat extent in deal-
ings with Ramona, Harris, and Cohen. All the efforts of the
detective police of this country to discover the en-
gravers sad printers of the forged rouble notes,
by which the Russian government and people
so greatly suffered, have hitherto proved unavailing.
Boski entered into some lengthened details as to his inter•
views with Humans, Cohen, Frankel, and Harris, relating
to the purchase and circulation of false rouble notes, and
identified two false notes for ten roubles each, which were
sent to him by Humans on the 16th of last month. The
case against Solon) zeisk was then gone into. After it had
proceeded for some time Mr. Sleigh asked for an adjourn•
ment. He had been on his legs fire hours, and had not
gone through half his brief. Mr. Finley submitted that
there was no cue against Lis client, Solowyzeisk, and Mr.
Sleigh had admitted that he could not strengthen it as
smut that prisoner. He was discharged by the magis-
trate, who remanded the others. On the application of
Mr. George Lewis bail was accepted for Cohen, himself in
5001., and two sureties of 250 f. each. Bail for the others
was refused.
