PROSPECTUS.
This Company is an extension of the Credit Fonder
(Limited) and of the Credit Mobilier (Limited) which were
established, the former for financial business in connection
with land, the latter for general financial operations.
The unexampled success achieved by those companies,
whose reports, just published, show the amount of net
profits,upon a paid-up capital amounting jointly to £lOO,OOO,
to be at the rate of upwards of 190 per cent. per annum, and
who have each declared a dividend and bonus of £2 per
share on £5 paid for less than six months' working, besides
carrying £lO,OOO to the reserve fund, and the enormous ac-
cession of business of both companies render it absolutely
essential to increase the capital, and thus enlarge the basis
of their operations.
With this view it has been determined to found the pre-
sent powerful institution, which will absorb the two com-
panies, and will take over the whole of their assets, includ-
ing their united reserve fund, amounting to £40,000, and
will also of course assume their engagements, and the
Directors believe that the increased means the issue of
new capital will place in their hands will enable them to
effect even greater results than have been already achieved.
The distribution of the shares will be made in the follow•
ing manner, by which it will be seen that a liberal propor-
tion has been appropriated for allotment amongst the gene-
ral public.
10,000 Shares will be issued to the shareholders of the
Credit Fancier (Limited) at par. in exchange for
the like number of shares now held by them.
30,000 Shares will (at their option) be allotted to the share-
holders of the Credit Foncier (Limited) (being at
at the rate of three new shares for each share
held in that Company), which will be issued as
follows, viz.: —Two of such shares at a premium
of £2 13s 4d per share, and for every two shares
so taken one additional share at par.
10,000 Shares will be issued to the shareholders of the
Credit Mobilier (Limited) at par, in exchange
for the like number of shares in that Company
now held by them.
30,000 Shares will he allotted (at their option) to the share-
holders of the Credit Mobilier (Limited) (being
at the rate of three new shares for each share held
in that Company), which will be issued as fol-
lows, viz. :—Two of such shares at a premium
of £2 13s 4d per share, and for every two shares
so taken ono additional share at par.
20,000 Shares will be issued to the public, at a premium of
£2 130 43 per share.

forthwith without deduction. Should a less number be
allotted than is applied for, the sum paid on account of
such application will, so far as it will extend, he applied in
payment of the sum due on allotment.
Copies of the Report of the Credit Foncior (Limited) and
Credit Mobilier (Limited), above referred to, with prospec-
tuses of this Company, may be had on application to the
bankers, solicitors, stockbrokers, or the secretary.

It will thus be seen that the average value (as represented
by the price of the shares) of the abovementioned four com-
panies is £3 4s. premium per share, after deducting (if any)
the reserve fund ; the price of issue of this Company's new
shares to the public is £2 13s. 4d. premium, from which,
after deducting the amount of this Company's reserve fund,
equal to £2 per share, leaves the share costing only 13s. 4d
premium, against £3 4s. premium, the average price of the
four companies before referred to, leaving a bonne to the
public of £2 10e. Bd. per share; but, taking the premium of
the last-mentioned company as the most analogous to this
Company, it having been amalgamated only two months,
it will be seen that their price of £3 10s. per share (which
is far below their intrinsic worth), added to the £2 premium
in this Company's reserve fund, gives £5 10s. per share, or
£2 16s. Bth bonus on the price of issue.
Tho above prices are quoted as they are given in the
Stock Exchange List, but it is generally admitted that they
by no means represent the full value of the different shares
quoted, the prices of which ought to, and will doubtless be,
much higher.

STANFORD S. HUTU Secretary,

Applications for shares may be made in the form annexed,
and must be aocompanied by the paymekt of .£1 per share.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBEL, 8, 1864.

with their client, Mr Marbury stated the circum-
stances under which he asked for a warrant of ex-
tradition against the accused. By the terms of the
treaty between the United States and Great Britain,
of Aug. 9, 1842, it is provided that persons fleeing
from juAicc from the one country nnd being found
in the other, charged with certain enumerated
crimes, may be demanded, and shall be delivered up
on the production of such proof as could justify the
commitment of the offender for trial in the place
where apprehended. Under this treaty, and the
laws passed for carrying it into effect, a requisition
was now asked that Franz Muller, the prisoner at
the bar, who is charged with having murdered
Thomas Briggs, in the county of Middlesex, London,
on the 9th July, 1864, be surrendered up for trial.
Counsel briefly recapitulated the circumstances of
the murder, which need not be here repeated, and
he proposed to read the depositions of the witnesses
taken in the case, in London, before Mr Henry, one
of the police magistrates, and which were authen-
ticated by the certificate of Mr Adams, United
States Minister to the Court of St. James.

Mr Shaffer—Are the persons who made those
depositions to be eross-examined here ?
Mr Marbury—No, sir.
Mr Schaffer understood the rule to be that in
criminal ;proceedings in cx•parte affidavits are ads
mated.

Mr Marbury cited the Act of Congress providing
that depositions, warrants, or other papers thereof
shall be received in extradition cases if properly
and legally authenticated, and making the certifi-
cate to the principal diplomatic or consular officer
of the United States resident in the country where
the offence was committed proof that the papers
are properly authenticated.
_ _

The Commissioner decided that the depositions
in the case certified by the American Minister were
competent evidence.
The depositions were then offered and received in

evidence.
Richard Tanner was examined by Mr Marbury,
and testified as follows :—I am Inspector of the De.
tective Force, Metropolitan Police, London, My
attention was first called to the case on the 10th of
July. I was directed by Sir Richard Mayne, Com-
missioner of Police, to undertake the inquiry. I
went to Bow, and put myself in communication
with the local police. I received there a hat from
Inspector Kerressey. I have since kept it under
lock and key. It is now in London, at the office in
the strong room. It is an ordinary black hat, bent
and broken. It has the name of T. H. Walker, 42,
Crawford-street, London, as the maker. It aps
peered to have stains of blood upon it. I ex-
hibited it to Mr Mathews, who is here present.
I was present at the taking of the depositions be-
fore the magistrate, Mr Henry, on the 19th of July.
I saw him swear the witnesses, and saw them sign
the depositions. Mr Henry certified them after
they were pat together. He is the chief magistrate,
and has been so to my knowledge 10 or 12 years.
I have been connected with the metropolitan police
foroe in London for 14 years. I rose from the ranks
to my present position—we all have to do that. I
have been in the habit of seeing preliminary depo-
sitions in cases of crime in England in which war.
rants are issued. The depositions in this case are
in the usual form. I received the depositions of the
19th July from the hands of Mr Henry, the magis-
trate—they are the orginal depositions. I got them
certified by Mr Adams, the American Minister. I
produced the hat before Mr Henry on the
19th of July, when these depositions were
taken. I produced it to the witness Ames. It
was in reference to it that Ames testified.

I showed it also to the cabman Matthews. I pro-
duce a pawnticket here. I got it from the witness
Haifa, on the 18th of July. It is the same ticket
to which Haffa refers on his deposition. There were
also produced on the examination a walking stick
and black bag, which had belonged to Mr. Briggs,
and the cardbox spoken of by Mr Death, the jewel-
ler. I examined the compartment of the railroad
car, and observed the cushions covered with blood.
I was present at the Coroner's inquest and saw
there the body of Mr. Briggs. The paper I now
produce is a proclamation offering £3OO reward for
the apprehension of the murderer. It was issued
by me on the 16th of July, in London. I got the
description of Mr. Briggs's watch from the watch-
maker at Hackney, who had cleaned it not long
before. I was referred to him by Mr. Briggs's son.
It is described as a large, old.fashioned, gold
lever watch, open face, with the number and
maker's name.
Counsel for the accused objected to hearsay evidence as
to the deficription of the watch. Objection sustained.
Cross-examined by Mr Shaffer— I was not acquainted
with Mr Briggs in his lifetime. I had never seen him,
but I saw the body at the inquest. Ido not know of my
own knowledge that it was the body of ;Mr Briggs. I
applied no test to determine whether the stains on the hat

were stains of blood. Ido not know how many persons
occupied the compartment of the car in which Mr Brice
had a seat. From Bow to Hackney-wick is about three
miles. I know nothing of the appointment of Mr Henry,
the magistrate.
Walter Kerresaey, examined by Mr Marbury—l am in-
spector of K division of the Metropolitan Police, sta-
tioned at Bow. My attention was called to this case on
the morning of Sunday, July 10. I saw Mr Briggs both
before and after his death. I sent a constable to the Cam-
den-town station for the hat, and received it from him. I
have been connected with the Metropolitan police of Lon-
don over 14 years. 1 know Mr Henry, the chief magis-
trate, at Bow-street, about 12 years. 1 was present when
all these depositions were taken before him at Bow-street,
on the 22d of July, 1864. The witnesses were sworn by
Mr Henry, and signed them before him. This is Mr
Henry's certificate. I received these orisinal depositions
from his hands, and I brought them witi. me to this
country. There was a hat produced before Mr, Henry,
on the 22d July. It was the same that I got
from the constable. I gave it to Inspector Tanner. 1 re-
member the deposition of Mr Ames, one of the railway
guards. The hat was exhibited to him, and he testified to
its being the same that he found in the railway carriage. I
also showed the hat to Elizabeth Kepech, and it is the one
to which she refers in her deposition. I also produced a
gold chain—l produce it now, also the hook belonging to
the chain, and a small ring. I received the chain from Mr
John Death. The hook I saw taken off the deceased by
his son. The small ring I received from Mr Buchan, the
surgeon; it is the one which he testifies in his deposition.
The chain is the one to which the witness, Mr Thomas J.
Briggs, Mr Buchan, and Mr Robert Death referred to.
There was a new chain presented to Elizabeth liepsch on
her examination. It was produced by Young, the pawn-
broker's clerk. It was in reference to it that she and Haifa
and Robert Death testified. The card-box was also ex-
hibited on the 22d July.
Cross-examined by Mr Shaffer—The examination of the
witnesses on the 22d July occupied about seven hours. I
received the depositions from Mr Henry, and gave them to
the superintendent. I was not present when the American
Minister gave his certificate. The papers were returned to
me by the superintendent. lam not acquainted with the
signature of Mr Adams. Mr Marburg supposed that Mr
Adams's signature could be proved by Mr Shaffer himself
as ho had been Mr Shaffer's candidate for the Vice-Presi-
dency.
Mr Shaffer—Yes, but I never helped to hang a client of
mine if I could help it.
The Commissioner ruled that the certificate of the-United
States Minister, under the seal of the legation, should be
received in evidence.
Mr John Death, examined by 51r Marbury—l reside at
55, Cheapside, London. I am a silversmith and jeweller,
and have been in that business 32 years. The chain now
handed to me I purchased on the morning of the 11th of
July froth the prisoner (here Muller stood up to be identi-
fied). I was called into the shop by my brother, and this
chain was handed to me by him for me to value. I put it
in the scales to weigh it. The prisoner looked to ace me
do it. I told him I would give him £3 lOs for it. He
looked at another chain which was priced £3 15s, but de-
clined to pay the difference. I then showed him a chain at
£3 ss, which he agreed to take, I then asked him what he
would take for the ss, and he said a finger ring. I showed
him one at the price, having a cornelian stone and a head
engraved upon it. He fitted it on his finger, and kept it.
My brother handed me a paper box, on which was a label
having my name and address, into which I packed the chain
I had sold, and made a parcel of it and delivered it to the
prisoner. He then left the shop. I again saw that box on
the following Monday night. It was given to me by In-
spector Tanner. I identified the box as being the one that
I had packed the chain into. That is the same box which
I saw at the earegietrate'e dice at Bow-street on the

PRICE.--....4d.
STAMPED'....Sd.

19th. 'the prisoner was in my shop about 10 minutes
(4,—Have you any doubt as to the prisoner's identity?
A.—Not the least. Q,—When did you next see him? A.—
Yesterday morning, on board the Victoria ; I was requested
to go into the cabin where the prisoner stood among a
number of others—eight or nine—all of them strangers to
me ; after looking at them all I told Inspector Tanner that
the second was the man. Q.—Do you fvel any doubt
whatever about his identity? A.—No, not the least what-
ever.
Cross-examined by Mr Blankman-1 do a pretty large
business. I had never sem this man before he produced
the chain. There was no special mark about him by
which to identify him, except his height and the general
appearance of the man. lam not able to say whether he
had whiskers or net, but he had no moustache or beard. I
should say he was under the middle height, I should not
call him a thickset man, but rather slight.
Mr Blankmau called attentirn to the testimony of Mr
Lee, who spoke as to the persons in the same car with de-
ceased. One of them he described as tall and thin, the
other as a thickset man.

Cross-examination continued—At the time I purchased
the chain I had not read of the murder. Soon afterwards
my attention was called to it, and I was struck with the
fact that the chain I had purchased lacked the hook, and I
immediately wrote to Inspector Kerressey informing him
of the circumstance. The description given in the prods-
mation is made up from that which I and my brother gave
of the man from whom I had bought the chain. I never
saw the same pattern of chain before—it has a certain
peculiarity by which once seen I would recollect it again.
A chain somewhat like it is called the Clyde chain; this is
a swivel seal ; the description of this seal given in the
proclamation does not properly describe the chain.
Jonathan Mathews, examined by Mr Marbury—l am a
cabman, living in London. I know Franz Muller, the pri-
soner, perfectly well. I have known him about two years.
He has been in the habit of visiting me frequently, as often
as twice or thrice a month. He has been working as a
tailor. I bought a hat for him. He had come to dine with
me one Sunday, and he saw with me a hat which he liked.
He tried whether it would fit him, and found it was a little
tight for him. I said if I get you one made a little easier
than that, will it fit you? He said, "Very nicely." I did
so according to his wishes, and had it home the Saturday
following. It was made by a man named Walker, in Craw-
ford-street. lie wore it up to within three weeks of my last
seeing him. 1 have since seen that hat. I saw it at the
Detective Office, Scotland-yard, London. Itlescribed it to
the inspector before ho showed it to me. I had remarked
it three weeks before, and told Muller it was getting shabby
He said he would wear it a while longer. The jeweller's
card-box I saw at my house on Tuesday morning. He had
given it to my little girl to play with, I thought nothing
of it till I saw the handbill. It had the name and address
of Mr Death, the jeweller, in it. I had never got anything
from Mr Death.

Cross-examined by Mr Shaffer—This hat was exactly
like mine, except that this was easier. I should not think
there were any similar hats in the store, as I get my hats
made to order, and this was made to order. It was some
two or three weeks before Christmas. Q. Did you have
your head measured for this hat ?—A. No ; they do not
measure heads, they measure hats. (Laughter) I always
found the accused to be a very steady, industrious, honest
man, regular in his habits, and I should not have hesitated,
on oath, to give him a good character.
George Clark, examined by ➢lr Marbury—l am sergeant
of the London detective force. I boarded the Victoria the
other day in company with a New York officer, John
Tiemann. Told the prisoner that he was charged with the
murder of Mr Briggs in London: I followed by saying,
"on the North London Railway, on the 9th, between Bow
and Hackney-wick." He said "I was not there; I never
was on the line ;" the officers searched him and took a key
from his waistcoat pocket—this is the key. The prisoner
said it was the key of his box. I afterwards fetched the
box into the cabin, where the prisoner was standing. He
told me it was his. I unlocked it, and among other things
found a gold watch and a hat. This is the watch and
hat.

Mr Marbury called attention to the fact that the watch
produced was an old-fashioned watch, made at Hackney ;
and that the evidence in the case showed that the watch of

the deceased was an old-fashioned one, and that he lived at
Hackney.
Jonathan Mathews was recalled by Mr Shaffer, and the

hat found upon tho prisoner, supposed to have belonged to
the murdered man, was then tried upon him and found an

easy fit.
John C. Tiemann, examined by Mr Marbury—Am con-
nected with the detective force in this city. I made the
arrest of the prisoner, having been deputed by the United
States Marshal. I took out of the prisoner's pocket the key
of his box, and was present when the box was searched.
Cross-examined—The prisoner said ho had had the hat
about a year, and the watch for two years.
This closed the case on the part of the British Go-
vernment, and the further hearing was adjlarned till Sa-
turday morning at 11 o'clock.

REMARKABLE CONFESSION OF A SELF
ALLEGED ACCOMPLICE.
George Augustus King, about sft. 9in. or 10in. in height,
with straight red whiskers, wiry frame, and of shabby-
genteel appearance, calling himself a publisher, living at
Bow, was brought befure Mr Ellison, at the Worship-street
Police-court, by Mr Inspector Honey, of the K division,
oharged upon his own confession with being concerned in
the above alleged murder.
Mr Abbott attended for the prosecution, which was in-
stituted by Mr G. Buckley, landlord of the Ranelagh Arms
Tavern, Old Ford, who stated—Last night, about eleven
o'clock, I was in the be.r talking to my customers and ex-
pressing the extreme gratification I felt at the capture of
Muller, with the extra evidence against him, when the pri-
soner, who was present in front of the bar, suddenly re-
marked, " I could wager a fortune if I had it that there
were &we men congregated' in it. A gentleman who was
present turned round and said, " You ought not to say such
things if you don't know them for facts." Prisoner turned
towards him and replied, " 1 don't care ; now Muller is
caught I'm sure to be apprehended. Muller is coming
across the Channel in irons. but I can walk out of these
doors at liberty." Another person remarked, "I am zeally
astonished at your saying this; if a constable was within
hearing he would apprehend you." I then called prisoner
into the taproom.
Mr Safford (clerk)—Was he sober ?
Witness—No, he was not quite sober.
Prisoner—No, you gave me so many glasses of brandy
and water—about 30—you made me drunk.
Mr Ellison—lt will be better, probably, not to make
any statement at present, You can cross-examine the
witness presently. (The prisoner here apologised, and was
proceeding to speak again to the witness, when stopped
with some diffieulty by Bendall, the gaoler.)
Evidence resumed—He took my hand, burst into tears,
and sobbed out, "I wish to have 501 b. weight taken off my
shoulders." I asked, "What is the matter with you?"
lie then said: Muller and I were hard up, we wanted
money, and money we would have ; it (the murder) was
contemplated three days before it took place. We went to
Fenchurch-street, waited there until. Mr Briggs arrived,
and took two first-class tiokets to Hackney Wick. We did
not commence our operations until we had just left Bow
station, I then struck him twice. Muller struck him three
times. Muller opened the door and laid hold of his body.
I lifted him up and threw him out. I got out at Hackney-
wick station and ran to the Itlitford Castle, went into the
parlour, and heard the fireman of the engine halloa out that
eonae person was run over on the line. I went to assist,
helped to carry the man into the public-house, and bathed
his templei." Witness from this point continued to the
effect that being strongly impressed, from the prisoner's
statement and manner, that his representations were truth-
ful, he thought it prudent to acquaint those outside the
room with what hael occurred, which he did, and after-
wards, leaving the dour open, returned to the prisoner, who
repeated a portion of the statement, which those outside
heard, among them were two police-constables who had in
the meantime been sent for. The prisoner was given into
custody.
Mr Ellison—Prisoner, do you wish to ask any questions
of this witness ?
Prisoner—l thank you, sir; I will—one. (Addressing
witness :) Before you took me into the taproom did't you
give me several glasses of brandy and water ?
Witness—No, I don't know that you had one,
Prisoner—Was I sober ?
Witness—No ; I have said you were not quite sober.
Prisoner—Was I not thoroughly drunk ?
Witness—No, you were not, because you were sitting on
the top rail of a chair with your feet on the seat, which,
if much intoxicated, you could not have done.
Prisoner—You made me drunk.
Witness—Most certainly not, for at the bar I believe you
only had a glass of ale,

the time of the asserted murder.
Mr Safford—la the Mitford Castle near the spot where

Mr Safford—It is scarcely evidence, you not being pre-
sent at the time; but for the sake of information say if the
body was carried into that house.
