penalty of 1001,'. in this case. but I shall fine the defen-
dant in the Huai of 251.. which is the lowest I am em•
powered by the. act of Parliament to impose, and in de-
fault sentence him to be imprisoned for three months.
The defendant was then committed.

CLERKEN-WELL.—C'harles King, a gentlemanly-
looking man, who described himself as a coal agent, was
charged befi)re Mr. Tyrwhitt with obtaining various
sums of money under fraudulent pretences.
Mrs. Frances Wilcox said—l reside at 2G, Mary-
street, Hampstead•road. On the 23d of October
my husband wrote a letter to the Great Northern
Coal Company at King's-cross, desiring them to send
him a ton and a half of Silkstone coals. In a few

(lays after we received a reply by a letter, signed
" Herbert Clarke," stating that the particular coal
ordered could not be supplied until the 30th of November,
but that if " Walls-end Main " would do they could be
sent in a week. My husband agreed to the alteration,
but the day before we received the answer from the corn(
pany, the prisoner called and said, " I am come to solicit
orders for coal from the Great Northern Railway Com-

pany." I replied, "We hayed ordered some." - He at
once replied, " I am an agent to the company ; I can
send you Silkstones, for we have no Walls-end, but they
will be 28s. a ton, for coals have rose." I replied,
" Yes, I know they have, and, I am sorry you did not
call before now, for you might have had the order, but
if you are passing at any time again this way you may
have them in future." From what he said, I imagined
that I was to have the coals direct from the station at
King's-cross. On the 31st of October the ton and a-half
of coals was delivered at our house. I did not like the
appearance of the coals at the time, and I questioned
the carman twice, and he positively told me they were
" Walls-end." My suspicion was, however, excited, not
alone by the quality of the coal, but also because the re-
ceipt for the money was signed and dated from the
" Coal-office, Bidborough-street---Charles King, agent."
The waggoner's delivery ticket was made out in the same
way. The latter circumstance—recollecting that the
original letter was signed "Herbert Clarke "—induced
me to go to the railway station to let them know in
what way I had been treated, but before I went there I
went to the prisoner's office in Bidborough-street. He
was not at home, but as I was leaving I met him in the
Area, and, before I said anything to him he said, " Oh,
I suppose you come about the coals ; I will see Mr. ).. 11-
cox about them." I at once said, "Who gave you the
order to send them ? " He replied, " A little girl called
at my office and said I was to send them." I said, " I
never sent any one to order them of him."
The prisoner declined to ask the witness any gees-
LOP-9.

Henry Bowen, foreman to the receiving coal depart-
ment of the company, said—l went to Mr. W. Wilcox's
to examine the coal in the cellar. The coal now pro-
duced is not Wall's-end, but it is Barnsley inland coals.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—What is the difference between the
coals produced ?
Bowen—Why your Worship, Wall's-ends are " firsts,"
Barnsley and Silkstones are "seconds," because they are
" inlands."
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Can you tell me what are the selling
prices of these coals !
Bowen—l only am a judge of the quality ; I know
nothing of the value of them.
Mr. Williams, superintendent of the company's line of
railway, deposed that the prisoner was in no way con•
fleeted with the Great Northern Railway, and that Mr.
Herbert Clarke was the sole agent in the coal depart.
ment, and his offices are at the King's-cross station.
Prisoner—Are not coals about 223. a ton.
Mr. Williams—l do not know myself that that is the
price, but on the list just issued by Mr. Clarke it is as
stated.
Lackerby, 23 S, said—This morning, about 2 o'clock,
I arrested the prisoner at his lodgings, 23, Clarendon-
street, Somers-town. About a month since I received
information of the prisoner's proceedings, and I inspected
the coals at Mr. Wilcox's this morning. I went to the
house and brought this sample (produced and identified
by Bowen to be Barnsley coals) from the cellar. I have
been searching after him for the last month.
Mr. Humphreys—Your worship, I wish for a remand
in this case to produce other cases in which the prisoner
has obtained money by the same fraudulent practices,
Mr. 'ryrwhitt—l will remand him, and I am quite
pleased to see those vile impositions, not alone on the
poor, but on the public generally, justly exposed.
Prisoner—l hope your worship will allow me to go out
on bail, as I want to consult with Mr. Lewis, of Ely-
place, who I expected wovld have been here to-day.
Mr. Humphreys—l have no objection to your worship
admitting him to good bail for appearance, for he has
absconded already, and put the officer to a month's
trouble to find him.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—l have no objection to receiving two
respectable and solvent sureties in 1001. each, and the
prisoner himself in 2001.
Although it did not come out in evidence, the re-
porter ascertained that the manner of acting by sham
agents is, that when they catch a dupe for coals, they
agree for 28a per ton, beet, cash on delivery ; they then
proceed to the railway station, and, ordering the deli-
very of cheap coals at 19s per ton, pocket the difference ;
thus a few tons sold iu the day, say three tons, puts 27s
in their pockets without any trouble.

MATERIALS FOR, PAPER.

(Prom. the China Ai ail.)

A reward of 1,0001. has been offered in England to
any person who will dis3over a substitute for rags, in
the manufacture of paper. If by the word "substitute"
is meant ore that is suitable for making paper quite
equal to that made from rags, it is probable no
such reward will ever be paid, and that the adver-
tisers have adopted an ingenious method of obtaining
information at litt!e e,et. The paper the reader now
holds in his hand is manufactured from shavings
of the bamboo plant in China. The quality is fair,
though not equal to the best English t,rinting paper ;
vet who can way how much it might 'oe improved by
Europeal skill :,nd the use of machinery ? We have
only Chinese authority for stating, that this paper is
manufactured from bamboo, as foreigners are not ad-
mi..ted to the provinces where it is made ; but the re-
port seems to receive confirmation from the fact, that
three years ago all the bamboos most common in the
Canton provinces shed their seed and died, and the con-
sequence was a rise of nearly 50 per cent, in the price
of paper. if bamboo shavings can be turned to such
ac.iount, the supply of raw material is inexhaustible,
thousands of acres being kept in the West Indies for
firewood alone.

(From the Delhi Gazelle.)
Now that hemp is looking up in the English market,
we suppose some adventurous trader will turn his eyes
on the hundreds of acres spontaneously produced in the
mountains of Kumaon, where it is the chief of the weeds,
and but little checked in its superabundance. It is ieot,
however, se tall or vigorous in it.i stems as the same
plants in Kashmir, where it sometimes forms almost
impenetrable jungles ; but the latter country is too re-
mote to render so coarse a product of any profit to the
merchant, and it therefore remains with this district to
furnish the product.

SPORTING INTELLTGE YCE.

TATTEItSALL'S-T URS,DAY.

Owing to the Steeldechase Meeting at Harrow the
room was vel'y thinly attended. Only the following bets

were laid

Firebrand fell at the second flight of hurdles after pass-
ing the Stand. In the bottom, at the far turn, Mas-
saroni and The Hawk slipped up, and came heavily to
the ground. Both riders were much injured. Pharold
bolttd on the wrong side of the post, and was no longer
seen in the race.

On returning to scale, an objection was made against
The Hero, on the ground that he had gone the •wrong
side of the flags on turning into the straight the second
time round. After hearing evidence, however, the
stewards decided that The Hero was entitled to the
stakes. It was afterwards bought in for 70 guineas.
Grand Annual Steeplechase of 5 cove. each, with 50
added. About four miles. 14 subs.

Betting—Even on Janus, 2 to 1 agst Nom de Guerre,
5 to 1 agst any other.
Nom de Guerra led up the hill Janus and Taffy, close
together, being second and third ; Sandhurst some
lengths behind On quitting the wood Taffy was seen
in front, with Sandhurst second, Janus third, and Nom
de Guerre last, but when near the foot of the hill Nom
de Guerre went up to Taffy, and soon afteiwhrds took
the lead. Sandhurst refused at the fence behind the
Farm, and Nom de Guerre went on the wrong side of
the next post, followed by Sandhurst. Nom de Guerre
retraced his way, and on returning into sight after leav-
ing the Plantation, he again showed in front, and was
first over the Brook. Soon afterwards, however, Janus
passed him, and won easily by two lengths, the second
beating the third four lengths. Sandhurst was far
astern.
Selling Steeplechase of 5 soya each, with 25 added, for

Betting-2 to lon Blue Stockings ;4to 1 agst any

Won by three lengths—bad third. Potter and Snow-
drift fell at the Brook going out ; both were quickly re-
mounte 1, but Potter was not persevered with. Snow-
drift was pulled up at the Brook on returning to the
winning field.
`The winner was sold for GO guineas.
The weather was clear and healthy, and the show of
general company somewhat numerous.
The character of the sport is sufficiently indicated by
the above details.

CHINESE PIRATES.—Mr. Henry Gibbs, captain of the
brig Grecian Queen, of London, writes his owners, from
Hong Kong, dated Sept. 27 last, giving an account of
having had some sharp fighting with piratical vessels
when on his passage up to Whampoa Roads to load.
His ship being tolerably well armed with heavy carro-
nades and small arms, he succeeded in beating them off,
killing 15 of the pirates and wounding several others.
An English schooner was in company at the tithe, which
he took in tow for the night. The owner, Mr. Wad-
man, who was on board at the time was seriously
wounded in the side.
A GOOD SOLDlEH.—Patrick Maguire (or M‘Grath,
a private in the 33d Regiment (now in the Crimea), who
is recorded to have been captured by three Russia's,
and to have shot one a musket he snatched front
one of his captors, and to have dashed out the brains of
another with the butt-end of it, and thus made his
escape--an act of bravery for which he received from
Lord Raglan a reward of 5/.---lhas forwarded the sum to
his parents, who live in Little Ireland, Manchester.
When at Manchester Maguire, who worked at a
foundry, enjoyed the distinction of being well known to
the police, who often had him in custody for assaults
and disorderly conduct. In 1851 he was ordered to
pay a fins of 21., or be imprisoned six weeks for an
assault on a police officer. His then employers gave him
a good character for honesty and attention to his work,'
and the money was paid, his mother observing that ho
was "too much a broth of a boy" to go to prison for so
long a period. He shortly afterwards enlisted, and it
seems that his fighting propensities lave been turned to
good account in tho service of his Queen and country.
