claimed by Xeres. Fellows. and Parsons, octal agents in

that the property in the cods had never been parted with

fact becoming known that the ends in question bad been

After some further dcla7 tea of the jury made their
appearance, sad several minutes elapsed, and then the

exceeded the period that had been allotted him, and he
should fine him vg. _

Then ware still milt' eleven jurors in the box, and the
ease of mane could not prowled. The officers of the

The high-shertff, who appeared quite astonished at the

OXFORD ClRClllT.—Woaccurrus, loisaca 17.
(Before Mr. Justice Keating.)
Entry Cheshire (on bail) wits indleted for unlawfully
embezzling, whilst steward to a certain friendly society,
on the 3rd of August, at blugaley, the sum of 2741. Os. 641.,
the moneye of the said society.
The prosecution was eandeeted by Mr. Young, assisted
by Mr.
for the primmer.
The society which instituted this prosecution we.
originally established so far beak as the year 1803, ender
the name of the Burley Junior Friendly Society,
but in nonce et changes in the law.
relating to f dly societies the one in ques-
tion was dissolved, but formed again under the
original title is the year 1833, end the rules were Notified
by Mr. Tidd Pratt on the 13th of October, 1854. Them
ruled defined the duties of the high steward, and by them
it was ordered that the accumulated fonds were to be put
out at interest, but small sums were to he placed in a box
with three looks and keys, and left in the hands of such
person as the steward might think proper. The prisoner
was appointed high steward is July, -1883, and continued
in office until July, 1867, having been re-elected in July,
1886. He was the person through whose hands all the
society's moseys passed, and be was responsible for their
*Ai custody. In July, 1887, the prisoner, at the annual
feast of the scedety, congratulated the members upon the
prorogues etete of their Samosa, and at the meeting
of the committee offered himself for re-election.
A Mr. Hawkins, however, was chosen in his place and upon
the books being examined it was found that there was •
delieiency to the amount named, or thereabouts. This
Mete of created • feeling of dismay in the minds of
the members, and upon the prisoner being informed of the
discovery made as to his defalcations he at ones admitted
having appropriated the money for the purpose of his
burins's, and said the society must deal with him as they
sew fit. He however gave the society authority to realise
his effects =lion and to insure his life, with the
view of reim theta. Finding there was no pro-
spect of obtaining t • mono from the prisoner, the pre.
sent prosecution was ptooeeded with.
The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to eight
months' imprisonment.

TM &Wood el the ismejleems, with the Matrapa-•
Ulan or Unisroveand Railway, at tie ismer circle
system recommended in the repast of Lod
• oommfadon in 1864. Theprinciples then
laid down for the waving out of this dews went
that the lines and works &mid be specially calm-
hied for short internal traffics, and that the rails
should be so far below the surface level of existing
streets, that these should be no interference with
ordinary halo, and no permanent disfigurement
of public thoroughfares, or injury to existing
buildings. Of this inner circle the Metre-
politan Railway, with its extension east and
west, forms the northern half between
Kensington and Tower-hill, while the district
line, which we propose to describe, connect-
ing those two localities, forms the southern half.
The length of the entire circle thus described is
about 53 miles. Starting from Kensington, where
the junction is effected with the Metropolitan
Extension, the District Railway provides stations
at Gloucester-road, Cromwell-road, filoans.equare,
Victoria station, Broadway, Westminster, for St.
James's-park, Westminster-bridge, and the houses
of parliament ; Charing-cross ; Norfolk-street,
Strand ; Bridge-street, Blackfriars ; Cannowstreet,
King William-street, Mark-lane, and Trinity-
square, Tower-hill. As yet nothing has been done
of that'portion of the railway eastward of West-
minster-bridge, whonoe the line is to pass along the
Thames embankment, and by the new street from
Blackfriars to the Mansion-house, except the con-
struction of a small portion under the Chatham
and Dover Railway at Earl-street and in front of
the South Eastern terminus at Cannon-street.
The section to the westward, however, is in
a very forward state, and is expected to be
ready for traffic by June or July next.
The proposed station at Westminster will be situ-
ated at the back of Bridge-street, abutting upon
the Thames embankment. The houses in Bridge-
street will all be taken down, and it boa been pro-
posed to construct a line of buildings in their place
for use as chambers and offices, and with a frontage
worthy of the august edifice opposite. A company
was, we believe, started for the purpose of carrying
out this design, but nothing definite on the subject
has yet been settled. It is designed, with a view
to the accommodation of members of the house, to
form a subterranean passage beneath the road from
the station to the houses of parliament. None of
the work, however, has yet been undertaken at
this point, but a few feet further to the westward
great progress has been made. That portion of
the line extending by the side of Westminster
Abbey is now nearly completed. The contractors,
with a desire to limit the desecration of the vene-
rable building by the presence of steam cranes
and waggons to as short a time as possible,
have pushed on the work at this point as
rapidly as possible, and the general public walk-
ing past Broad Sanctuary and the newly formed
Parhament-square have very little idea that a rail-
way exists under their fret, complete in every
respect but wanting the permanent way. This;
finished portion of the tunnel extends only as far
as the Westminster Palace Hotel, whence for a
short distance the oontractors have been unable
hitherto to get possession of the necessary ground.',

WRACK OY AN ABYSSINIAN TRANSPORT. Lose
oe Burr Lrene.—At the latter end of January het Mr
W. D. H. Orme, engineer, R.N., residing at Plyinouth.
and Mr. G. B. Cornish, lint-elms aseistantungimer, at
Deempert, baring bees appointed to her Majesty', ship
Ostavia, 35 guns, now in the Red Sea, proceeded by a
mail packet to join that vessel. Letters have just been
received from each of these °Soars giving • deplorable
&epeeist of the dimeters which have befallen them. It
I &ppmr.s that they arrived at Aden on the ISth
February, and the mime evening were transferred to &
„ the name of which is not given, and set sail
transport
Octevia. About midnight the transport ran on a
reef of rocks during a heavy gale, and remained stuck
fast, the ties breaking over her. In this pitiful plight,
expecting every moment that the ship would break up, the
unhappy paseengers and crew, manyof whom appear to han
been officers on their way to join the Abyasinien expedi.
Jim, remained on board votil noon next day, when it being
evident that the ship could not longer stand the strain to
which she was subjected, Deem of them on board, including
Mr. Grose sad 11r. Corniah, resolved to trust themselves to
a boat, apparent) y the ouly boat left with the ship, hoping
to make land, although the tremendous breaker almost for.
bade the hope that they could he saved. After a
short but most dangerous trip the little party
neighed land, and were iminediata ly surrounded 14
a body of Arabs, armrd, it is said, with pistols,
who, under threats of instant death, corapell.-d the
seven unhappy men to strip themselves of the whole of
their clothing, and of all else they had aucceded in bring.
ing mhore, and then abandoned them to their fate in an
unknown yountry. The seven survivors believe that soon
after they left the transport she broke up, and that all
the remainder on board, 67 in number, perished. After
waiting some hours the wren set off to walk to Men, and
for two days and a night were without clothing, even their
boots having been taken, under the burning sun by day
and the cold by night. At length, however, on the Itch
of February they reached Aden, and were at one pro-
vided for on board H.M.S. Nymph. Thee were, of course,
very weak and exhausted, their limbs being gristly
swollen ; and at the date of the letters, the 21st February,
were extremely ill and hardly able to write. A steamer
was despatched to the scene of the wreck to eneeevour to
Mrs some of the valuables OD board, and hoping also to
pick up other survivors.— Wester, Morainic Nein.
FATAL ACCIDENT IN • BATH.—On Monday
morning • gloom was thrown over all circles in Sunderland,
on the intelligence becoming known throughout the town
that Mr. George Hardeastle, the well-known auctioneer,
had been found dead in a bath in High-street. It appears
that about 10 o'clock Mr. Hardoastle, as was his custom,
went to the Westund Baths, and asked Mr. Crass to pre-
pare him • warm bath, which he would take about
11 o'clock. Honalled at the time named, and about a
quarter of an boor afterwards Mr. Cress's attention was
called to a moan by • woman cleaning the passage, and on
going
in Mr. Hardeastle was found in • fit, with his
resting on the side of the bath. Mr.
Crass immediately called for help, and Mr.
Kinip, painter, who was standing in the (root office, went
to his Resistance and lifted the unfortunate gentleman out.
He was observed still to continue to breathe, and Dm.
Yeld and Laing were Immediately sent for, but their ker.
etc.., were of no avail. He died • few minutes after their
arrival. He never spoke, but moaned frequently. Death
is attributed to disease of the heart. Mr. Hardcastle was
• widower. He leaves a family to mourn his redden
death. He wee well known in the town, and highly
respected. For name time be sat in the town council,
where he did good service on several important occasions.
