THE BRITISH COLUMBIA OVERLAND

TRANSIT COMPANY.

Mr. James Henson, the secretary to the British
Columbia Overland Transit Company, appeared
yesterday in discharge of his recognisances before
Alderman Finnis, at the Guildhall, to answer the
charge of obtaining a sum of £42 under false pre-
tences, with intent to cheat and defraud Wm. Hy.
Isaac Collingwood.
Mr. H. Harris, of Moorgate-streei-, conducted the
prosecution on behalf of the unfortunate emigrants.
Mr. Pearce, instructed by Mr. Ellis, appeared for
the defence.

Mr. F. H. Lewis attended for Col. Sleigh.
Mr. Whitehouse for the Hon. F. H. F. Berke-
ley, M.P.
Mr. Mardon for Mr. H. L. Hime, the agent in
Canada for this company, and
Mr. Collette (Prichard and Collette, the solicitors
for this company), fcr a director named H. Edge-
cumbe Nicholls, who it was stated did not deny his
responsibility.
In answer to a letter from the latter firm, ad-
dressed to one of the newspapers, denying having
appeared for the defence, our reporter begs to state
that Mr. Collette not only instructed Mr. Philbrick
throughout the inquiry on the last occasion, but
held consultations with the defendant, communi-
cated the results to counsel, suggested questions in
cross-examination, and at one time during the in-
quiry took his seat by the side of Mr. Phi[brick on
the bench, according to the usual practice with at-
torneys instructing counsel on important matters.
Mr. Lewis said Col. Sleigh's name had been men-
tioned on the last occasion as that of the gentleman
who had received the whole of the funds of the
company, and it was therefore due to him that he
should be allowed to give an explanation.
Alderman Finnis said Col. Sleigh was not before
the Court at present, and he therefore thought that
any explanation which might be necessary would
come better at the conclusion of the case.
Mr. Pearce said there was no doubt that an of-
fence had been committed, and, as the alderman
had very properly stated, it was his province to find
out and punish the offender. It was also the duty
of the defendant to assist that object, both for his
own sake and the ends of justice. The defendant
was merely a salaried clerk, and although he could
not call Col. Sleigh to prove his engagement as
such, he was in a position to prove that the defen-
dant was only a clerk, that he received a salary of
.D 2 per week in that capacity, and that his duties
were confined to the ordinary routine of an office
such as the one in question. He would prove that
the offices were taken by Col. Sleigh, and in his
name ; and although that person did not in any
way appear in the company's prospectus, he would
show that every farthing of the money received
from the gentlemen complaining was paid over to
Col. Sleigh, and that the whole scheme was, from
first to last, Col. Sleigh's own speculation. He
would even prove that, on the closing of the com-
pany's offices, an intimate friend of Col. Sleigh's
removed the books of the company; and, on the
same day a bank in the Haymarket, another of the
colonel's speculations, was shut up, and his private
residence at St. John's-wood deserted. He would
also trace the books into the possession of Colonel
Sleigh, and he submitted, if he proved these facts,
and showed that the only delinquent was Colonel
Sleigh, that there would be an end of the charge
against his client, who had filled a respectable posi-
tion in the employ of a railway company for 9 years
prior to his unfortunate connexion with Col. Sleigh.
Alderman Finnis said it was quite clear that Col.
Sleigh could not have carried out this fraud by him-
self. The defendant was in the office to answer in-
quiries, and must therefore have seen the letters
complaining of the fraudulent use of gentlemen's
names as directors, and consequently must have
been aware of the fraud that was being perpetrated.
Those letters were addressed to the secretary, who
appeared to have replied to them all by stating that
other gentlemen had been elected as directors in
their places, and/ it was therefore important that
Colonel Sleigh should be called, in order to relieve
the defendant from the criminal charge.
Mr. Pearce said every exertion had been made
by the defendant and others to find Colonel Sleigh.
Mr. Harris said the only intelligence he could
offer was that the colonel's bank in the Haymarket
stopped on the day following the hearing of this
case last week. _

Alderman Finnis said that perhaps was a fortu-
nate circumstance for many persons. At all events
if the evidence offered by Mr. Pearce was forth-
coming, he would direct proceedings to issue to
bring Colonel Sleigh before him.
Mr. Harris said he had some further evidence,
and called _ _

Richard Spyer, a clerk in the Joint-Stock Com-
panies Registration Office, who said he had
searched the registry, and ascertained that the
British Columbia Overland Transit Company had
never been registered either with or without the
word " 'or the word " company." It had
not been registered in any shape.
Wm. Gypson, a clerk in the Bank of London
(described as one of the bankers of the company),
said that no account had been opened' at that bank
in the name of the British Columbia Overland
Transit Company. Their bank was mentioned in
the prospectus, but the manager gave directions
not to receive their account. An amount was offered
in the company's name, but the party was referred
to Robarts, Lubbock, and Co.

Edmund Champion, clerk to Itobarts, Lubbock,
and Co., said there was an entry in their books of
the name of the British Columbia Overland Transit
Company, but without the word "limited." A EIMI
Of £2 was paid in by applicant for shares, but the
account was never opened. They had no resolution
of the company with regard to the account upon
which to act.

Alderman Finnis said he must have the name of
the person who was to draw the cheques.
Mr. Harris said he had been assured by Sir J.
Lubbock that nu arrangements had been made for
drawing cheques on the part of the British Co-
lumbia Overland Transit Company_

The witness here left the court to make inquiry
at the bank, and upon his return said a gentleman
called in the first instance to ask the firm if they
would take the account, at the same time showing
a list of directors. Mr. Ellis said he would take
the aceount on the strength of those names, and
the gentleman went away, but it was expected that
some of the directors would have called and signed
the signature-book, without which the account
could not be opened nor any money be drawn out.
No one called for that purpose, consequently the
account was never properly opened and the £2 had
never been drawn out.

Mr. James Hay ward said, in consequence of an
advertisement he saw in the papers with regard to
the British Columbia Overland Transit Company,
in April last, he wrote to the company and received
a letter from Colonel Sleigh in reply.
Alderman Finnis asked what business witness
was.__

Witness—He Was what was called " through
agent" for the company. He went out with the
passengers and had since returned. The following
was the letter he received from Colonel Sleigh :
British Columbia Overland Transit Company,
t‘ 6, Copthall-court, Throgmorton-street, E.C.
The manager will be happy to sea Mr. Hayward with
reference to his application of the 12th inst., if he calls at
the office between twelve and one to-morrow, Tuesday.
" May 19."

Mr. Harris remarked that Colonel Sleigh's name
was not to the letter, and asked witness if he went
to the office in consequence of that letter.
Mr. Pearce said he would not take any objection
to the course pursued by Mr. Harris, as he was
moat anxious, on behalf of his client and furtherance
of the ends of justice, to elicit the fullest investiga-
tion possible.
Alderman Finnic said that was the only proper

mode of conducting an inquiry of this kind for the
benefit of all parties.
Witness—He afterwards went to the office and
saw Colonel Sleigh ; he saw him several times, but
always alone. He also saw the defendant busily
engaged with three or four clerks in the other
office. His interviews with Colonel Sleigh resulted
in his receiving an appointment from the company
to accompany the expedition to British Columbia,
at a salary of £lO a month, and one dollar per day
for provisions on arrival at Montreal. That ap-
pointment was signed by defendant as secretary of
the company.
Mr. Pearce said the letter of appointment com-
menced with the words, "I am instructed." Wit-
ness received four receipts in blank for passage
money from Colonel Sleigh on the 29th of May, and
on the same day he received written instructions
from the defeudant as to the proposed route and his
conduct on the journey, in providing for the con-
veyance and comfort of the passengers, and conclud-
ing with a strict injunction to draw £5 extra from
a passenger who had paid for a second-class and re-
ceived by mistake a first-class berth, and not under
any circumstances to show his written instructions
to any of the passengers. Two passengers joined
the party at Quebec, and witness filled up two of the
blank receipts, and gave them for two sums of £26
each. Col. Sleigh told him he would draw out instruc-
tions in writing for him, and when he received them
he believed they were bona fide, and that he would II
be supplied with the means to carry them out.
When he arrived at Quebec he placed himself in
communication with Major Shrapnel, the barrack-
master. He telegraphed to him from Quebec.
Mr. Pearce submitted this could not have any
bearing upon the charge.
Alderman Finnis said he thought the court was
,bound to hear anything in connexion with witness's
instructions received from the defendant.
Witness—Major Shrapnel advised him to tele-
graph to Mr. Hime, the company's agent at St.
Paul's, stating the number of passengers and the
weight of provisions, and he did so, as well as from
Montreal and Detroit, until they got to St. Paul's,
where they met Mr. Hime, who introduced witness
to Messrs. Burbank and Co., the proprietors of the
North-Western Express and Minnesota Stage Com-
pany. Mr. Hime asked him how much money he
had, as he had made all the arrangements for the
purpose of paying the fare to Fort Garry. Witness
told him he had none, and said he hoped Mr. Hime
had plenty, but that gentleman said he had none,
although he had been expecting remittances for the
last six weeks. Witness then applied to Burbank and
Co. to take the passengers on to Fort Garry and Red
River, and offer ed them drafts on the company. (The
witness here produced a letter from Burbank and
Co., acknowledging that Mr_ Hime and Mr. Hayward
had done all in their power to for ward the passen-
gers by Burbank's expresses to Fort Garry, Red
itiver settlement, and had failed only for want of the
funds which were to have been remitted for that
purpose by the company. Burbank and Co. refused
to accept drafts either on Major Shrapnel or the
company.
Alderman Finnis said in Burbank's letter the
company was termed the " Transportation Com-
pany," a much more appropriate title under all the
circumstances.
Witness said if he had received sufficient funds he
could have taken the passengers on, but he would
not attempt to take them across the Rocky Moun-
tains without a proper supply of provisions and
conveyance. Major Shrapnel advised him to draw
on him at 60 days' sight, but he told him no one
would take the drafts. Witness then came back to
England to see where the hitch was, and found the
office in Copthall-court closed. He then tried to
see Colonel Sleigh, at the West-end Bank, and
there get his address. He found the bank closed.
That was on the day after the first hearing of this
case.

Mr. Lewis said he had no locus standi he was
aware, but it was not evidence that the witness
was deposing to.
Alderman Finnis said that Colonel Sleigh was
not here, and if Mr. Pearce did not object he would
not hear any objection from any other quarter.
Mr. Harris here produced the cheque paid by
Mr. Collingwood for his passage, and said he had
traced it to Colonel Sleigh's Haymarket Bank, in-
stead of the company's offices.
Alderman Finnis said that was important, as it
would tend to show in what manner the money re-
ceived from these unfortunate passengers was dis-
posed of.
Witness cross-examined—He saw Mr. Henson
and Mr. Walker (both present) at the company's
offices, but he always asked to see the manager.
He considered Colonel Sleigh as such. He treated
with no one else.

Re-examined—He received only £lO as board
money from Colonel Sleigh. He had not received
any of his salary. There was about £25 due to him
for money out of pocket, independent of wages.
When he returned he went to St. John's-wood, and
found Colonel Sleigh's house and furniture had been
sold off.

Mr. W. S. Simonds, a clerk in the office of the
Times newspaper, produced an advertisement of
the prospectus of the British Columbia Overland
Transit Company, which appeared on the sth
of April last, and the original of a letter signed
by the defendant, which appeared in the limes
of the 23d of May last, to the following effect, as
far as it refers to the present inquiry :

" Sir,—l have just read with considerable surprise, and
I may add with indignation, a letter under the sobliquet of
Canada West,' containing a tissue of errors so manifest
that I claim your invariable desire to show fair play by the
early insertion of the following statement relating to this
route, and the operations of the company referred to. . .
As to the time occupied by such a journey Canada West'
proves at the very outset that his calculations are based
upon thorough ignorance. . . . His other calculations
are equally erroneous. As to going through the passes'
with waggons, no one ever suggested such an idea. Our
passengers will go on pack horses, through the Rocky Moun •
tains into British Columbia. . In conclusion, we are
only doing by co-operative agency that which hundreds of
persons have done by individual enterprise, viz., we have
organised a passenger traffic along a route well understood,
and which presents no difficulties except those conjured up
in the minds of such disinterested individuals as CANADA
WEST.—I am, sir, your obedient servant,
" JAMES HENSON, Secretary,
"British Columbia Overland. Transit Co.'s Offices,
6, Copthall-court, Throgmorton-street, E.C."

Mr. Pearce admitted that the signature to the
letter produced was in defendant's handwriting.
The body of the letter'was written by a clerk named
Walker, a son of one of tne directors.
Mr. Martin, chief clerk, inquired if there were
any receipts for money paid after 23d May.
Mr. Harris said there were. There was one fur
£42, paid by John Martin on the 26th ; one for £42,
paid by Thompson on the 27th ; one for £42, paid
by Goddard on the 26th ; several on the 23d May,
and one on the 29th for £42, paid by Benjamin
Moore. That was about the last payment made, ex-
cept the money paid by two of the passengers to
Hayward, at Quebec. He was not prepared with
any further evidence at present. If the defendant
had acted bona fide, it was for the directors to come
forward and relieve him from his responsibility.
Mr. Pearce said the specific charge against the
defendant was for obtaining money under false pre-
tences, and consequently anything in the shape of
letters in the Times, or remarks in the money article
of that journal, could not be received as evidence of
a false pretence said to have been already commit-
ted. He had addressed the court at the opening of
the examination, and was now prepared to call his
witnesses.

Alderman Finnis said since this case had been
opened another name had been brought under the
notice of the Court, and he therefore thought he
should now ask Mr. Harris what course he proposed
adopting. It was clear that several others were
mixed up in these matters, and as it was equally
clear that a gross fraud had been committed, he
thought it Lis duty to suggest an adjournment at
the present stage, in order to afford an opportunity
of getting hold of Col. Sleigh.
Mr. Harris said perhaps Mr. Lewis would under-
take to produce Col. Sleigh. (Derisive laughter.)
Mr. Lewis said he was prepared to show by many
ways that neither Mr. Henson nor Col. Sleigh were
responsible, in a criminal sense, in this matter. The
civil liability of Col. Sleigh he was ready to admit ;
but no indictment for false pretences would lie
against them upon a contract partly carried out.

Alaerman Finnis took a contrary view. He said
there was evidence of the false pretence in the ad-
vertisement of the names of gentlemen as directors
without their consent. The parties who had been
defrauded were, many of them, now many thousands
of miles away from their homes without the means
of returning, and it was therefore his duty as a ma-
gistrate to give those persons all the assistance in his
power_ It would, however, simplify the matter if
Mr. Lewis would produce his client, Col. Sleigh.
Mr. Pearce said notwithstanding what Mr. Lewis
had stated he would prove all he had alleged, and
that the whole of the money paid by the passengers
was handed over to Col. Sleigh, and that not one
farthing went into Henson's pocket.
Mr. Harris said there were half a dozen
that if
of the
passengers present who would tell the
Court
in connec-
they had heard the name of Col Sleigh
gh
would have
pion with this company they never
Sleighi t
w was
had
not
parted with a penny.
Mr. Pearc® said if the so-called
obtained such an unenviable
been to be be wondered at that he
s hou ld
name. It washave
known where
notoriety,
Col.
ous of concealing
his
he
Col. Sleigh was, but was for the present beyond
W d Bank, he
West-end an,
the jurisdiction of the English law. With regard
to the cheque produced on the
would prove that that bank was Col. Sleigh's specu-
lation, and the endorsement in his own handwriting.
Alderman Finnicsaid it appeared that some of
the directors of the British Columbia Overland
Transit Company were also directors of the West-

end Bank, which Mr. Harris had denominated a
swindle, and he likewise observed that Messrs.
Prichard and Collette were the tiolicitors to both
undertakings. The whole question at present before
the Court was, whether the defendant Henson had
lent himself to this fraud. It was not a question
of one £42, but of 31 £42, and where the money
had gone to. The evidence certainly was that the
defendant had been in league with Colonel Sleigh,
to the extent of aiding and assisting him in obtain-
ing the money from these parties. The secretary
was put forward as James Henson, Esq., to make a.
show, and it now transpired that the secretary was
a clerk at £2 per week. If the defendant was
merely the dupe of Colo:lel Sleigh, he could give
very valuable information with regard to the pro-
ceedings of this company, and so assist the unfor-
tunate persons who had been defrauded, and clear
himself from the criminal charge.
Mr. Martin said the charge might assume the
form of that of conspiracy to defraud.
Alderman Finnis said that was precisely his view
of the case, for which reason he suggested a remand.
In the meantime he should like to know how many
of these parties were out in Canada, and what state
they were in.
Mr. Harris said about twenty of them had been
dispersed, and others were not able to get away.
Same who had money heli;ed to keep ethers, and
some who went out as gen!.lemen have gone to
work in the lead mines as labovrers.
Alderman Finnis said, under stole circumstances,
the attention of Government should be drawn to
those parties and the hardships they were` enduring.
Mr. Collingwood said he had app
lie to the
Colonial Office, and been told it was no business of
theirs.
Alderman Finnis said, then, as a magistrate, he
would make it his duty to communicate with the
Secretary of State on the subject, in order that
something might be done to meet the necessit'es of
the parties and mitigate their distress, as t heir
position in such a country would be one of itx-
tremity when the winter closed in.
Mr. Harris said these unfortunate people were
camped out in a wild district, and that appeared to
have been part of the scheme, for they were carried
safely through the civilised and inhabited portion
of the route, and abandoned as soon as they entered
upon the wild part of the country.
Alderman Finnis said as soon as Mr. Harris could
ascertain the exact state of the parties left behind,
a proper representation of the facts should be for-
warded to the Secretary of State.
The case was then adjourned, and the defendant
admitted to bail in his own recognisances in £lOO,
as before.

PLATINUM AT THE EXHIBITION.—Then there
were two big vessels of platinum ; the one an alembic
(what an old alchemist's word 1), and the other a boiler for
rectifying sulphuric acid, and worth £465 without the tubes.
Platinum is essentially the chemist's metal, and the moat
useful that he has. Fire does not melt it, unless at the
moat outrageous and almost unattainable ferocity; air and
water do not touch it ; it can be heated to a white heat and
and still retain its polish ; and the only acid that dissolves
it, is the nitro-muriatic. What the analytical world did
when it was not so, no one now can understand. Plati-
num is rarely found in masses, °1:17.y in grains or spangles.
for the most part not so large as linseed, sometimes as
large as hempseed, and sometimes, but very rarely, as
big as peas. But there have been tremendous giants
—just one or two—to show what platinum can do if it
likes. The largest bit seen hitherto is in this very Eastern,
Annexe of ours. It is an irregular mass about a footlong and
from five to six inches deep, weighing 3,200 oz., or 200 lbs..
Up to the advent of this metallic son of Anak, the prize
piece was one of 21 lbs. weight, brought from the Ural
Mountains, and now in the famous Demidoff cabinet; then
there was another, over 11 lbs., also found in the Ural
Mountains in the year 1827; and one in the Royal Museum
at Madrid, larger than a turkey's egg, and brought from
the gold mine of Condoto, at Choco, in Peru ; and another
from the same place, weighing more than two oz. avord'
poise, which Humboldt presented to the cabinet of Berlin.
All these were mighty in their day, when compared to the
linseed and hempseed of ordinary growths; but what are
they now in the presence of a leviathan weighing 200 lbs.?
Platinum—a minor silver, from " plata," which means sil-
ver, according to the Spaniards—is found principally in the
company of gold, and when first brought to Europe in 1748
was called white gold, in recognition of the many noble
properties, which seem to make it akin to the royal metal.
For it is so malleable that it can be beaten into leaves thin
enough to be blown about and floated anywhere by the
breath—just like gold leaf; and it is so ductile (I am ob-
liged to use these hard words, but I don't like them) that Dr.
Wollaston made a wire of it no larger in diameter than
the 2,000 th part of an inch ; while its tenacity is proved by
the fact that a wire, 1-18th of an inch in diameter, can sup-
port a weight of 3611b5. So, after all, it has a right to be
called white gold, and of royal standing in the metallio
world.—Dickens's "All the Year Round."
