holders in these banks, and howdy allowed it in the
case of the new Bank of Bombay, because it ap-
peared impossible to establish the bank without
that assistance ; but he had directed that a com-
mission should be appointed on the whole subject,
and when that oommiasion reported the govern-
ment would consider whether they could continue
their connection with the presidency banks.
Mr. GOSCHIN observed that the failure of the old
Bank of Bombay showed the mischief of govern-
ment inspection, and the evil of the government
undertaking in any way the superintendence of
commercial operations.
After a few observations from Mr. KINNAIIRD the
subject dropped, and the motion for going into
supply was withdrawn.
; The Documentary Evidence Bill was read a
third time and passed.
On the third reading of the Artisans' and La-
bourers' Dwellings Bill,
Mr. AYRTON moved the recommittal of the bill,
in order that he might in committee move an
amendment in the schedule which would have the
effect of striking out the words exempting the City
of London from the operations of the bill.
SirJ. FEROUSSON opposed the motion, saying the
bill had been sufficiently discussed.
After a short conversation, the amendment was
negatived, and the bill was read a third time and
passed.
The house adjourned at half-past 12 o'clock.

together to deal Ave dock warrants, each for the delivery
of a pipe of wise. Maude was also auger' with s
the warrants, and Mayer with feloniously reeeivingWooaleilloi
them, knowing it to have been stolen.
Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Stratto:slondacted the giroeun-
tion and Mr. Montagu Won behalf of
Meade. The other prisoner was not appearedcd
It may be remembered that the circumstances of this
ease were of a very, peculiar character. It appeared that
the prosecutor, Mr. Belford, who was not regularly en-
gaged In business, bought Ave pipes of wine, and the
wartlike were delivered to him on the 16th October last.
On that afternoon be saw Maude in a turning ont of Can-
nos-street and the latter told him that he was a partner in
the firm of Garment, Neon., and Co., 16, Water-lane, and
said he would boy the wine and give • bill for the amount,
as he could not pay cub. Prosecutor said that was of no
use to him, as he wanted cash, and prisoner replied, " I
have friends in Hatton-garden who will discount it for
you," alluding to the other prisoner Mayer, who was at
that time carrying on businees se Liddell and Co., at 86,
Hatton-garden. Prosecutor said then, " I have no ob-
jection if it will be an accommodation to you." Next
day Maude showed him a letter, signed " Liddell and
Co."
' stating that they were ready to discount hie
(Maude's) bill at five per emit., and Maude tore off the
heading of this letter and gave it to the prosecutor, but
kept the other part to himself. An arrangement was then
made that prosecutor should go to Hatton-gerden and
get the money, Maude tolling him that Liddell and Co.
were fret-class people. Next morning ttli prosecutor met
Meade at the corner of Hatton-garden, and the
latter told him that be had just been at
Liddell's, who was not in, but that he would
be back in an hour, and suggested that they
should go to the 801 l public-house. They went there,
and Maude asked him if he had got a receipt, to which
prosecutor replied in the negative. In half an hour Maude
went away, and after an absence of twenty minutes he re-
turned, saying, " h is all right; Liddell is in now," and
he produced • receipt stamp, and asked for a receipt,
which the prosecutor refused to give to him until he had
seen Liddell. The prosecutor then went to Liddell's for
the purpose of getting the money, leaving the warrants
lying upon the table, but be was not in. Prosecutor how-
ever, met him in the passage as be was about to leave,
and Liddell told him to come book mgain in an hour.
Prosecutor replied that Maude told him he (Liddell) would
give him the cash immediately, and asked him if he had
seen Maude. Liddell did not reply to the question, but
asked, " Where is Mande?" And prosecutor told
him he was in she Bull. They then went round
to the Bull ibut Maude and the warrants
were gone. Liddell laughed, and prosecutor said, "I
thought I left him here when I came round to you." Lid-
dell said, " Where is he, then?" and added, " I would not
discount his bill for 5/. ; he has got no account at the
bank." Prosecutor thereupon went and stopped the war-
rants, and next morning called on Meyer, who told him
that things were not so bad as they were yesterday, and
that he did not know but that he might discount the bill
Later in the day Meyer said he would " do " the bill, and
offered 1501. for it. The amount of the bill, it may be
stated, was 1751. The prosecutor objected to Meyer's
offer, and at last it was arranged that it should be dis-
counted for 121. 10s., and Meyer mid that to show he was
in earnest be would give him a cheque for 101., and that if
he called at eleven o'clock next morning he would give
him the balance. The prosecutor accordingly called next
morning, and Meyer took back the cheque he bad given
him on the previous day, giving him 101. in money. He
also wrote out a cheque for the remainder, and at his
request the prorroutor gave him • receipt. Meyer then
then went out without giving him the cheque and told
him he would be back in a few minutes, but he
did not return, and eventually the clerk shut up the office.
Next day the prosecutor returned and asked for his receipt
back. Meyer said, " I have nothing belonging to you. I
saw the rightful owner yesterday, and gave it to him." The
prosecutor remarked that it was a swindle, and Meyer
politely replied that he " might go to the devil and hang
himself," and threatened to have him (prosecutor) locked
up. It subsequently appeared that Meyer sold one of the
warrants while the transactions narrated above were
taking Owe, and that at the time he had only a few shil-
lings at his banker's.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both
prisoners.
On Wednesday the prisoner Meyer was also convicted
of having unlawfully obtained a large quantity of goods
through • young man named Samuel Hart, whom he sup-
plied with fictitious references, and whom he appeared to
have used as • tool in obtaining about 9001. worth of
i
goods, consisting of clothing, furniture, and jewellery,
from merchants n London, Birmingham, Coventry, and
other towns in different parts of the country.
Mr. Metcalfe said the earliest period known of Meyer's
antecedents was 1862, when he appeared to have acted as
clerk to a watehmaher in Soho. He subsequently went
into business with a person named Lee, end failed; was
next manager to Messrs. Gibson and Co., St. Paul's-church-
yard, who likewise became bankrupt; and afterwards he
took • hotel, which was burnt down. A charge was then
made against him for conspiring with other persons to de-
fraud the insurance company in oonnection with the burn-
ing of the hotel, and the case was removed to the Queen's
Bench, but when, after considerable delay, it came on for
trial the prosecutor was abroad, and the prisoners were
acquitted.
The Common Serjeent sentenced Mande to eighteen
months' imprisonment, and Meyer to five years' penal
servitude.

ANOTHER SHOCKING OUTRAGE ON A
WOMAN.

At the termination of the business of the Wor-
ship-street police-court yesterday, Sergeant Richard Ken-
wood made an application to Mr. Ellison, the sitting
magistrate, to take the depositions of • dying woman,
who had been beaten almost to death by • boy. Mr.
Ellison at ones signified his intention to proceed to the
bedside of the poor woman, and accordingly his worship,
the chief clerk, and Mr. Wood, chief usher, with our re-
porter, proceeded to a house No. 11, Artillery-passage,
Old Artillery-ground, Norton Folgate, and on arriving
there proceeded to a bedroom on the wooed
floor, where, extended on • bed, held down by two
constables lay a most frightful sight—the mangled
remains of a woman of about 45 years of age, her eyes
closed and swollen, her nose half hanging down, out
away by repeated blows ; her hair, face, hands,
covered with fast congealing blood, and on the back
portion of the right side of the skull • deep indentation
exposing the brain. Mr. Ellison, after consulting with the
doctor in attendance, asked the poor creature if she
could tell him, " Who did this but no reply was re-
salved, and during • period of half an hour, while the
party remained there, only broken words and ejacula-
' tiona of " Why isn't it done ?" " Will you leave me
alone'" &v. were heard, and to several questions
put by his worship to her nothing could be
gleaned respecting the horrid outrage ; and the
party left. The following particulars were nicer-
tained from Inspector Broad by our reporter :—The house
in question is kept by a man named Gunsmith, and with
his wife, the injured woman (by name Emma Grossmith),
and a small family, they carried on the trade of • coffee
and eating-house, employing an assistant named Arthur
Mackey, a boy of nineteen. Yesterday morning Mr. Gun-
smith, as usual, went out about 9 o'clock for the pur-
pose of marketing for the dinner hour, leaving the boy
named and his wife employed in the shop, which
was opened about the usual hour of coffee-
houses. During his absence some quarrel is supposed
to have arisen between them, and that the boy had caught
up whatever had been near, and dealt his mistress • blow
on the head, and afterwards beat her about the bead and
face till he left her for dead. A neighbour living next
door, • woman, hearing a noise, came into the shop, and
met the boy and in the back-house, used by the people to
do their cooking, she found the injured woman lying all
in • heap behind the door ; she 'soused the boy of
bating done the deed, which he denied, and made
his way out of the shop, the last that was seen of bier
being that he was running up Bishopegate-street to-
wards City. The police being called in, as exami-
nation of the bask-house was made, and • hearyilrolling-
pin, covered with blood and matted with thick hair, was
found. An iron meat lifter, with • hook at one end
and • handle at the other, the whole about four
feet long, was also found, which had evidently been
used in the murderous attack. The walls were bespattered
with blood to the height of nine or ten feet, and
the place presented the amenrance of • slaughter-noose:
A waistcoat, afwar& identified as belonging to
Arthur Mackey, was found on the floor, covered
with blood, and torn up the side as if the
woman had seized the boy and torn it from him.
The description of Arthur Mackey is as follows : Age,
l 9 ; height, sft. 51n. ; complexion, Tay fair ; pale face ;
long thin Roman nose, high on the bridge; very fair hair, '
raw-boned, droned in a abort dark pilot mat, with pockets
on the outside, no vent, dark plaid trousers, lace-up boots,
with plain toe-cap ; flowered cotton shirt, and a black soft
felt list, with a crease through the centre, such as is usually
known as • " Fenian hat."
