the respondent had no money, but because he
had known something of her habit. He believed
that the wife bad been wholly to blame ; and that his son

TEE BILL FORGERIES IN TEE (arr.
r.
At the Mansion-house this afternoon, Seig-
mund Striemer, Gustave Stoves, and George Kunake
were brought before Aldermen Allen and cannon, for
further examination on the charge of forging and utter-
ing numerous bills of exchange.
The City Solicitor conducted the prosecution.
Another case was now opened with respect to • bill of
exchange for 1161., purporting to be drawn by the Mer-
cantile Bank of Eydney. It appeared that • person named
Wilkie was consulted by Ur. Temples, • com-
mission agent and banker, residing at -1•Tothill, re-
lative to an accommodation bill, and Wilkie thereupon
communicated with the prisoner Striemer and obtained
the bill refereed to for so under 21. The bill was
handed to Templeman, and he eposited it in the United
Service Bank, which is now in liquidation.• and drew
upwards of 1001. against it. Wilkie stated that Temple-
man gave him a cheque for 21. to get the bill,
but the latter denied this, and said he did not
ua pay anything until after he bad deposited it with the
. The body. of the bill was proved to be in
Striezner's handwriting, and one of the endorsements in
that of Kunake, and the City Solicitor stated that there
was no such bank as the Mercantile Bank of Sydney.
The prisoners were again remanded.

SCENES IN AN IRISH POUCH COURT.

The justices of the petty sessional division of
Newry were occupied on Wednesday in the investig' ation
of charges preferred against various persons of having
been concerned in the recent election riots. One of the
defendants was John Lindsay, who was accused of firing
a gun at Samuel Tweedie. Lindsay's defence was that
he bad been lint &moulted by Tweedie, who also threw
a ginger-ale bottle at his wife. The following colloquy
occurred in the cross-examination by the famous Mr. John
Rea:

Mr. Rea (to Lindasy)—What did you say when you
were knocked down 1--1 raid nothing, but I thought.
And what did you think thought I would pay him
for it.

And how did you propose to pay him I.—lt has come
out how I proposed to pay him.
How did you intend to pay him, sir I.—Well, when he
left I admit that I had my gun charged with small shot.
I let him go up the street for some distance, and I then
fired, not thinking that I had hit him.
Where was the gun standing that evening:—ln the
hall. _ . _

'Where do you usually keep the gun ?—ln the kitchen,
so that she may be kept dry.
Hew tar was he of you then ?—IIe was about fifty
yards.
And you covered him at fifty yards off like a weasel or a
rat, and fired at him did.
And do you not believe that was a most bloodthirsty
act 'r
—I did not, after the provocation we got.
You aimed at him deliberately did. At first I
thought I hail mimed him, but fortunately I did not.
Did you intend to lut him t—Well, I would rather
have hit him than missed him.
And you did not cans whether you killed him or not t
Oh, I know I would not kill him, as I had only about
half a charge of No. 3 shot in the gun at the time.
In an earlier part of the inquiry Mr. Wafters, a bar-
rister, made an observation in reply to Mr. Eraldne, one
of the justices, which seems to have offended Mr. Rea.
_ _ _ . - •

Mr. Rea said he had heard manifingoressic efforts in his
time, but he never yet heard an as impertinent,
tone and all considered, as Mr. atter.' observation to
Mr. Erskine. Mr. Wetter, would not have attempted to
use theca had Mr. Erskine been a barrister or a practised
public s • -er.
The Meirman—Well, I have heard no impropriety
at all. . . .

Mr. Rea—These barristers ought to be made to behave
themselves. They conduct themselves in a manner that
attorneys would net be guilty of.
Mr. Watters—That annoys me no more than the idle
wind.
.. . ..

Mr. Rea—Of course not; but it gives you an oppor-
tunity of quutinic.'lltakespaare, which you know no more
about than you do of the common law of England.

A NEW APPLIe.ATIONO
CRA P
PA FORTUNETBELBR 8

At the Nottingham police-court on Thursday,
a middle-aged woman, named Eliza Scott, was
charged with having unlawfully used subtility,
means or devices, by causing Rebecca Moreland tocriltl
into a glass, with a view to the restoration of Re. that she
had lost, thereby imposing upon her, and defrauding her
of 9d. It appears that Moreland lost Ye. of her
and was induced by other girls in the same employmentga
as herself, (at a Mr. Millington's).to go to the prisoner for
the purpose of ascertaining from her where the
missing money was to be found. TheiSsoner -directed
her to look into a small glass globe, ho
candle at the time. She did as she was and saw—a
young woman. (Laughter.) She informed the sorceress
of what she saw, and prisoner said it was a light com-
plexioned, and tall young woman, who wore • hat, and
who always clasped her hands when she was pleased. By
that description the complainant thought that the per-
son in question was a young woman who worked
behind her at Mr. Millington s. The prisoner supple-
mented her description of the woman by saying, " MlA's
her, ray child, who ham got your money." A little further
conversation ensued, in the course of which the " know-
ing one" slyly hinted at a young man with white hair,
who was a "good deal about her," and gave her some
intelligence regarding the basket from which she
missed the money. For this information Moreland
paid 9d. Complainant told the beach that the
girls subscribed a penny each towards paying the
fortune-teller's charge, and one of them strongly recom-
mended her to visit Mrs. Scott, saying that elsead lost
some money, and on looking through the ball saw a girl
taking. it. (Laughter.) The Clerk : What's the name of
the girl you suspected ?—Complainant : Ann Parker.
The Mayor—You had no reason to suspect this woman
previously I.—Complainant: No, sir. The prisoner
said that she did not give complainant a
full description of the person who had got the money,
because she knew that Moreland would " betray"
her. She did not describe the woman's features, only toll-
ing her that she worked behind her and wore a hat. She
also told bar that the 'nosey appeared with her in the globe.
Soon was sent to prison for see weeks as a rogue and
vagabond.

An alarming accident occurred at Rotterdam on
the late arrival of the Queen of Holland. On the steam
yacht being brought alongside the quay in the evening, •
gangway waa passed from the shore to the side for her
Majesty to land. The burgomaster and three
other pera,ons were going on board to receive the
queen, when the vessel moved slightly ahead ; the
civic functionary saw the danger and leaped on the deck,
but the others, as well as the temporary bridge, were
precipitated into the water. Fortunately they were got
out safely, notwithstanding the darkness, although one of
the number received some slight contusions. Her Majesty
showed great concern at this incident, and ordered the
burgomaster to inform her by telegraph should the suf-
ferers stiffer any ill effects from their involuntary bath.

Chief effect has been produced upon the Bank's
accounts by the increase in the mercantile demand
for money, which has been followed by an addi-
tion of 531,209/. to the advances on pnvate 'eau-
ritics. The result is a diminution of 436,0441. in
the reserve. The decline in the coin and bullion
is 169,1891., which accords almost exactly with the
amount of gold withdrawn from the Bunk for
export during the week.
