MARKETS.

New.. 9 10

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.—Opening Report.—
This market to-day was fairly attended by millers and dealers.
Wheat was rather in demand at Friday's prices, and no change
can be quoted in other articles, except Indian corn, which was
6d. per quarter dearer. Closing Report : There is no complaint
of the attendance at the Corn Exchange to-day. There was
enough white wheat in the market to-day, and it was a turn
dearer. Red wheat is entirely neglected. All other articles
semain quiet, at last Friday's currency, except Indian corn,
which, though only in retail sale, was 6d. per quarter dearer,
and it was maintained.
LEEDS CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.—At this market to-day
there was a moderate demand for fine old and new white and
mixed wheats at the full prices of last week. Red wheat and
all secondary qualities were difficult of sale and rather easier in
price. The market was largely supplied with malting barley.
Choice quality was scarcely so firm in price, and anything under
this description was fully ls. per qr. lower.
HULL CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.—At this market to-day
there was a moderate supply of English wheat, at is. advance.
Malting barley was unaltered. Grinding barley was 6d. dearer.
Oats, peas, and beans were unaltered.

NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.--There was a
moderate supply of wheat at this market to-day, for which
there was a firm demand, at Saturday's advance of ls. Flour
355. to 395. Other grain was unchanged.
DUBLIN CORN MARKET, TUESDAY.—Irish wheat was un-
altered. Malting barley was stationary. and grinding was in

HULL CATTLE MARKET, TIIESDAY.—The show of beasts at
this market to-day was slightly above the average, principally
lean. Calves were scarce and in demand, and firm, at £lB to
£2O per head. Trade was slow. There was a very large supply
of sheep, but business was restricted. Ewes sold at from 365.
to 48s. each ; lambs at from 28s. to 345. each. There was a
fair show of pigs, principally small ones, and trade was limited
at late rates.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, TUESDAY.—At this market
to-day there was the largest supply known for some time, some
300 animals being exhibited from Spain, and owing to the large
display trade was inactive. The prices realised for best heifers
were raised to Btd. per lb., but the general quotation was Sid.
There was a small show of sheep, but the supply was equal to
the demand. The quotations were :—Beef, first-class, B%d. ;
second-class, 74d. to ad. ; Spanish, 7d. to 7id. ; sheep, from
70. to 7di. ; calves, 7d. to 9d. per lb.

lower. Sales 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 were on speculation
and for export.

LEEDS TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—The woollen market this
morning may almost be called a gloomy one. A week ago th ere
was some spirit, and buyers would speculate a little, but this
morning there was nothing of the kind, and the
war news received since the last market day
has stopped all improvement, which for sonic days
had been going on in the clothing districts. Mills which had
begun to work full time are preparing to pull up again, unless
some sudden political change for the better soon takes place.
Besides disappointed hopes of peace, embarrassment arises
from the absence of remittances from France. French cus-
tomers' bills have come back already, and not only
do many feel the inconvenience, but it has produced
here and there symptoms of weakness. To day's sales have
been confined almost exclusively to some small parcels of shawl
Tweeds, and of thin twill goods in green. All sorts of material
are lower, and oil is creeping down. The iron and machine
manufacturers are slacker. Steel is especially dull. The local
building trade is remarkably quiet, from an exceptional cause.
An injunction is pending, which prohibits an extension of the
Corporation sewage system. New building works, therefore,
are postponed indefinitely.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—This market
gets worse and worse daily. The demand for both yarns and
goods fall off, and prices decline, thereby causing holders of
stocks to lose heavily. Since the announcement of the failure
of the peace negotiations between France and Germany, no one
seems inclined to enter into fresh contracts for forward
delivery, so that the only business in progress is
the ordinary daily transactions to supply contracts
on hand, or similar pressing wants. Producers now shew more
eagerness to sell, and are willing to make further concessions
to-day to effect sales, but with small results. The position cf
the spinners lately has not improved, but the contrary, for the
sluggish demand experienced for their yarns has compelled
them to make greater concessions to buyers than they
can obtain on cotton, which has very generally
fallen in value, especially good cotton, and on the

and Hitowisevheerp,

will now so decline in value as.to enable spinners to work their

CLEVELAND IRON TRADE REPORT, TUESDAY.—The weekly
meeting of this market was held at Middlesborough to-day.
There was a thin attendance, and business generally was dull.
Considerable anxiety was felt on account of the failure of the
peace negotiations. There was no perceptible change in prices

Ultimately the prospects' of the trade cannot fail to receive a
severe check. The manufactured iron trade continues about as
last week, both in production and rates. The coal trade is
better.
GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, TUESDAY.—This market
was very flat to-day. Business was done down to 51s. 40. cash,
and 518. Bid. one month.
CLYDE CRUSHED SUGAR MARKET, TUESDAY.—At this
market to-day a quarter less wvs done, but prices remained the
same.

" Sir, —I wish, through the medium of your paper, to address
to the special donors to this Fund the earnest thanks of our
Society for their generous and much needed help, which has fur-
nished means for aiding thousands of grievously wounded men
and alleviating their terrible sufferings.
" The Society, thanks to the abundant resources placed at its

ambulances per week, costing from 60,000 f. to 200,000 f. each,
each ambulance accompanied by a staff of surgeons and infir-

is established, to receive the wounded on their first arrival.
"These are some of the services which our Society has been
able to render, besides many others too numerous to detail,

LONDON WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 28, 1870.

THE rulers of Europe have not forgotten the lesson
of 1848. Then the Revolution was too much for
them, and their subjects took the bits into their own
mouths. In 1870 it is far otherwise. Kings place
themselves at the head of the revolutionists, and con-
trol the operations which they are not able to prevent.
It is two years ago this very week since the last of
the Bourbons fell, and though Spain is still without
a sovereign, her de facto King, Marshal PRIM, has no
intention of allowing a Republic to be proclaimed
there. Similarly VICTOR EMMANUEL has taken
possession of Rome, while GARIBALDI is under sur-
veillance at Caprera, and MAZZINI is under lock and
key at Gaeta. In Pruisia Jr. JACOBY, the -eminent
Republican, has been cast into . prison for
venturing to question the wisdom or. the justice of
annexing French territory; public meetings are
entirely prohibited at Konigsberg, and the Saxon

IHE SUS, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEIVIMIR 28, 18i

authorities have forbidden all gatherings of the
Democratic Socialists in Saxony. The able Berlin
correspondent of the strongly German, Daily News has
sounded a note of alarm. King WILLIAM.
he says, "is having his surfeit of victory
and glory, and there are those who begin
to believe that it would have been best for the
people of Germany not to have had so much success.
They are showing signs of losing their better j udg-
ment and their sense of right and justice under it,
and of assuming the very nile which France has
played so long, and which they themselves have so
strongly and justly denounced." The arrest of Dr. •
JACOBY is deplored by the same writer, who, though
he loves Germany much, loves liberty more.
It is impossible to shut our eyes to at least the
possibility of the danger here described. The idea
that. Germany can "whip all creation" is not surpris•-
ing under the circumstances. • When the present
KING of PRUSSIA entered Paris among the victoi s
of 55 years ago, he was but one out of many. Prussia
had fought well, but she was only one out of several
Powers that had so fought. Moroever, the memory of
the awful overthrow of Jena and of the years of suffer-
ing that -had followed was still too green for the
Prussians to he exalted above measure. True they
were lording it in Paris in 1815 ; but it was not ten
years since NAPOLEON had marched over the bodies
of 20,000 Prussians into Berlin ; it was but two years
since the great national uprising had begun, and
Prussian liberty was reborn among the
flames of Russian Moscow. On the present occa-
sion there is no such humbling reminiscence.
Prussia, victorious over France in 1870, was victorious
over Denmark in 1864, was victorious over Austria
in 1866. When, therefore, the old companions of
1815, whom we are told King WILLIAM has sum-
moned to join him in his approaching entry into
Paris, arrive to swell his triumph, it is likely enough
that the insolence which WELLINGTON found so
bard to repress may exceed all bounds.

There is yet another danger in store. Any one
who has -read the history of Europe from 1800 to
1848 must have been struck by the lamentable
change which passed over the Continent after
Waterloo. There is nothing grander in history than
the rising of the Germans against NAPOLEON in
1813. Inspired by a common hatred of the
oppressor, incited by the splendid . strains of the
young poet-soldier KoUNER, they fought like
one people, and they looked up to their Kings as
true "shepherds of the people" for whom each
subject was ready to lay down his life.. Then
came the crowning triumph at Waterloo, and then—
the saddest page in history—the reaction of the
Holy Alliance. From 1815 to 1830 was a time of dense
darkness and bitter sorrow for all true Liberals on toe
Continent. The people were robbed of their liberties
by the Kings, notably the King of PRUSSIA and the
Emperor of AUSTRIA. The smaller German sove-
reigns, even if they had desired better things, were
overruled by the. Courts of Berlin and Vienna.
KoRNER dead on the field of battle, KoRNER dead
at 22, was to be envied by all the German youth,
for he had been taken away from the evil to come.
The French Revolution of 1830 somewhat improved
the position in Germany, but only in a slight degree,
and fierce was the uprising and terrible the blood-
shedding which took place in 1848. Of late years
Prussia has been the scene of.many an unarmed-con-
flict between Constitutionalists and Reactionists.
Before the war of 1864 there was a long and sever e
struggle between them, and it was ended only
by Ilismancx's resolve to distract the nation
from domestic politics by foreign wars. Since 1864
he has continued this policy with success. We have
now to -see what course he will take when peace is
restored. The German people have fought nobly ;
but we have yet to learn if they have been fighting
for themselves or for the - benefit of the Sovereign
who reasserted the divine Right of Kings at his
coronation, and for his able, but despotic and, most
unscrupulous Min'ster.

taking intervention of a friendly character, and
prompted by a high sense of duty, at the present
crisis, when two enemies are threatening to perpetrate
horrors the mere thought of which ought to make
Christianity and civilisation shudder) if not abstained
from, for some very strong reasons is calculated to
excite disgust for our selfishness or cowardice that may
be as fatal in time to our future interests as to our
past renown. In his letter, Sir Henry Bulwer dis-
tinctly points out that English mediation need
never be such as to forfeit her self-
respect if undertaken in a right spirit. Neither
is there any necessity that it should partake
in the least degree of hostile feelings, The Power,
moreover, that this Government would chiefly have to
deal with in the matter has conducted itself all
through the war, with a quiet dignity, that has been
as remarkable as its science in arms, and it is not
likely to turn on our humane, Christian, and appar-
ently righteous efforts for peace like a barbarian.
Sir Henry declares that his views are not dictated
by any isolated regard for France; they arise from a
regard for England, for Europe, for the world at
large. •

THE GERMANS AND THE EMPEROR.

It is satisfactory to find our esteemed friend the
North German Correspondent amongst those Prus-
sian papers which emphatically disavow the alleged
design of attempting to restore the Emperor
Napoleon. , That journal is very indignant that
such a scheme should be attributed by English
papers to German statesmen; and it supposes that
"the kind and respectful treatment accorded to the
captive of Wilhelmshohe by his Prussian Majesty" is
the sole foundation for the perfectly gratuitous sup-
position. It adds, "Should Louis Napoleon be
definitively deposed by the formal decision
of the French people, we can assure the
neutral press that Germany will not move
a finger in the cause of Bonapartism. Such u
course would be incompatible both with our feelings
and our interests. It is absurd to talk of legitimist
sympathies for a family whose present head has
described himself as a parvenu." All this denotes a
very proper frame of mind ; but it may
be just as well to remember that the "kind and
respectful treatment" has had no influence whatever
upon the conclusions drawn by English journalists.
Probably nobody in Europe, except a few Paris
Reds, would wish that the fallen potentate
should not receive the utmost consideration
in his hour of trial. It was the procla-
mation of "his Prussian Majesty" at Rheims,
of which the Correspondent seems entirely oblivious,
that made the remarkable impression complained of.
No doubt the proclamation meant nothing ; very
likely the King drew it up at a time when Count
Bismarck was not there to look after him ; but it
was formally published, and the attention it excited
was excusable.

THE FORTIFICATIONS OF PARIS.

LORD RUSSELL'S Contribution to the science of in-
ternational law will scarcely help to elucidate that very
difficult subject, or to increase his lordship's political
reputation. The Sociologists at Newcastle have been
struck, as other persons have been struck, with the
extreme and truly British inconsistency of sending
alms for the relief of the wounded, and arms for the
infliction of fresh wounds, in the disastrous Continental
war. But to Lord RUSSELL, a quondam Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, there does not seem to be
any inconsistency—or, at all events, any which
Government should seek to rectify. Putting the
question " Is it desirable to prohibit the exportation
of contraband of war ?" which has been diseus6ed
in the International Law Section of the Social
Science Congress, Lord RUSSELL answers . with a
decided negative. In fitct, so far from laying
upon the Government fresh .burdens, he would re-
lieve it of some of those which it already has to bear.
His experience of the trouble:Which he had to endure
in stopping the Birkenhead rams, and in not
stopping the Alabama, induces him to think
that the weight of obligation is quite
enough for any Foreign Secretary to bear.
He therefore draws the line at ships and moll.
These he would prohibit, but he would suffer anyone
to send gunpowder and arms, without which both
ships and men are useless. With regard to the 'par-
ticular instance now prominent, he contends that the
Germans have nothing to complain of; for if rifles
are being sent to iiavze, coal is being sent to Ham-
burg. This comparison is astonishing, coming as i t does
from a veteran statesman. Coal is in itself an article
of peaceful commerce, just as much as wheat is; and
a neutral is no more bound to see that the ultimate
destination of the one is not warlike than he is bound
to ascertain this with respect to the other..
Coal may. be - used on board ironclads, and
wheat may be used in provisioning fortresses,
but they are not necessarily
.destined foi
these purposes, and, of course, the anus probandi that
they are so destined does not rest either with the
seller or the buyer, but only with the party which
objects to the bargain. On the other hand, muni-
tions and arms are essentially warlike, are useless
unless devoted to purposes of war, and, therefore,
the inevitable assumption, with respect to the arms
now being exported to France from Birmingham, is that
they are destined for continuing the war now raging.
The principle which makes it illegal for a neutral to
send ships and recruits to a belligerent would, if
logically carried out, apply more forcibly still to
munitions and arms. Ships may be used for com-
merce, recruits may be used for agriculture, but
cannon-balls and rifles can be used only for
fighting. It is to be hoped that Earl RussELL's ideas
belong exclusively to a school of statesmen all but
passed away. Although Lord GRANviLLE has not seen
his way to alter the present unsatisfactory law in the.
midst of war, we are loath to believe that he is
satisfied with it, or has any doubt as to the desirability
of altering it.

A correspondent of the Times refers to Mr.
Lendy's assertion that a cannon ball passes through
the rubble and buries itself without causing concus-
sion, and replies that fi shell performs the same
operation if it does not explode, but if it does, .what
becomes of the frail rubble wall ? He says that the
walls round Paris are not less than forty-five feet
high ; if they are knocked down the earthwork will
soon follow. He has seen the walls of numerous
fortresses in Europe, but the masonry in the
Paris fortifications is, he considers, among the worst
specimens of its class. The mason-work forts of
Sebastopol successfully resisted the heavy guns of
the English and French fleets, the same at
Sweaborg and Cronstadt in the north (.f
Russia ; but the results would have been very
different had the walls of these fortresses been mere
rubble work. If rubble walls can offer no effectual
resistance, he asks why we should go the expense of
erecting such costly shams. Far better, like Todleben
at Sebastopol, rely entirely cn substantial earthworks
which can be repaired even under the enemy's guns.
Mr. Lendy says that " the walls of a tbrtresS merely
cause a few shot more or less to be fired by the
besieping enemy." If so, the writer adds, perhaps
some military authority can infbrm us why we have
been compelled to spend so many millions of money
on these useless fortress walls in England during the
past ten years.

ELEMENTARY EDUCATION.

A correspondence has been published between the
Worcester Board of Education and the Education
Department at Whitehall on a matter which is of
considerable interest to provincial schools. The
honorary secretary of the Worcester Board writes to
Mr. Forster to ask for a definition of sufficiency. No
official intimation of the Whitehall standard has yet
been made, and the local authorities feel perplexed
as to what proportion of the means of education to
the population would be held to constitute, in the
words of the new Act, " a sufficiency of existing
schools." They are also anxious to learn the exact
meaning of the " efficient and suitable provision "
spoken of in Clause 5. They have no means of
judging whether trained uncertificated teachers, or
teachers of private schools, or dames, will be held to
constitute such provision. Mr. Bryant, replying on
behalf of Mr. Forster, seems to find it difficult to
translate the convenient generalities of official docu-
ments into plain practical directions. No definite
rule, he says, can as yet be laid down with regard to
the proportion of a population for which school ac-
commodation should be required, but he thinks that
the rule followed in building grants of reckoning one-
sixth of the population will be generally safe to follow.
With regard to the " efficient and - suitable provi-
sion " part of the question, the Education Depart-
ment must be guided by the local returns and the
inspector's report. It will be held to be made when
there is efficient elementary school accommodation
within a. reasonable distance of the home of every
child requiring elementary education, which is avail-
able for a fee within the means of his parent, without
compulsory religious instruction to which his parent
objects. There is nothing in the bill, • adds Mr.
Bryant, to prevent a school from being recognised as
efficient and suitable because the teacher is no.
certificated.

ROAD TRACTION ENGINES.

A very important invention haslately been brought
into public notice which, even in these days, when
battles and sieges are engrossing our attention, de-
serves especial remark. It has long been an object
with mechanicians to bring steam traction engines
into use on ordinary roads, and numerous efforts have
been made to increase the-adhesion of the wheels to
the road, so as to get over the difficulties pre-
sented by the frequent inclines to be en-
countered on our highroads. .The use of indiarubber
tyres, made in continuous rings, has proved
to be the _ most efficacious method, as they
increase the tractive power and save the engines
from jolting by elasticity. The india-rubber tyres
have been tried. with uniform success in the north
and in the colonies, and the parliamentary report
was exclusively in their favour. They have now
been put to a fresh trial., and a small steam traction-
engine fitted with them has been tested at the En-
gineer establishment at Chatham. Its capacity is
equal to drawing the heaviest siege guns, the 7-inch
72 cwt. shell-gun, which is about five tons, up an
incline of one in twelve, to working a saw for cutting
15-inch timber, and to driving machinery. It
will at once be seen what a valuable as-
sist ant such an engine would prove in time
of war, and it is therefore satisfactory to
know that the experiment proved perfectly
successful, the engine turning corners, and describing
curves with the greatest ease, running down steep
descents and passing over rough uneven ground, full
of bricks and pieces of sharp and rugged iron without
a dent on the indiarubber. This is now put on in

WORKING MEN'S DEPUTATION TO MR.
GLADSTONE ON THE WAR.

A deputation consisting of members of the Representa-
tion of Labour Association, the Land and Labour League
and the Working Men's International Society, waited
yesterday on Mr. Gladstone at his official residence
in Downing - street, to submit various resolutions
expressive of the opinions of 'the working classes in re-
gard to the present war. The speakers were Mr. Latham,
Secretary to the Representation of Labour League ; Mr.
George Potter, Mr. Howe, Mr. Lloyd Jones, Mr. Mur-
ray, and others. Mr. Gladstone, after listening atten-
tively to the resolutions submitted, and to the observa-
tions of the speakers, said, the points put before him
resolved themselves chiefly into three, which he
would notice in the reverse order to that
in which they had appeared to him. The third related to
the system of international arbitration, the second to me-
diation for the purpose of bringing about a close of hostili-
ties, and the first was a request for a recognition of the
French Government. In respect to the third, he did not
believe there was the slightest difference of opinion
between the statements of the deputation and those of
her Majesty's Government, and when they had had an
opportunity of urging the carrying out of this principle,
they had done so; he endeavoured to urge
it most strongly, immediately there was a probability of
war breaking out. The failure of those endeavours, and
the proposals in connection with them, were on record,
and therefore he need not further refer to them. As
regarded the second point,which expressed a desire that the
English Government should exercise its influence to bring
about a cessation of hostilities between France and Germay,
the deputation could not possibly desire that cessation
more than did her Majesty's Government, and no one
could be more earnest in the desire that an opportunity
should be found when the Government could exercise
their influence for that purpoCe. At the same time he
must say that nothing could be more unjust than to
charge the Government with lukewarmness with respect
to endeavouring to avert or to shorten this war. He did
not think that there was any step possible that was not
' taken. Having observed that every opportunity would
still be watched, with a view of mediation, the right hon.
gentleman said reference had been made to the existence
in Germany of a strong democratic element which was
opposed to the annexation to Germany of French terri-
tory. If such was the case, that element would make
itself heard. But where two great nations were en-
gaged in conflict, they would naturally claim for
themselves the right to be considered the proper judges of
their affairs. He trusted, at the same time, that great
weight would be given to the opinions of the neighbour-
ing Powers, and he felt quite satisfied that when the
neutral Powers were listened to, the weight of England's
opinion would not be inferior to that of any other State.
And now with regard to the alleged opinion of the
working classes that the Government had been
less ready to recognise the present Government
of France than it had the empire. Now the relations
between France and England still existed for every
practical purpose, although it was true there had been
no official recognition. (A member : But where is this
moraPforce of such a recognition ?) He was far from say-
ing that the recognition by England of the French Go-
vernment was unimportant, because a combination of the
opinions of men must have a great effect, and
tended to strengthen a cause on which they were
brought to bear. (Hear, hear.) He was almost ashamed
to say that there had been no dynastic influence used to
prevent the recognition of the French Government, be-
cause if such a thing had been allowed we should have
held ourselves up to the contempt of all nations.
(Applause.) It was our interest and duty to acknow-
ledge whatever form of Government France might
choose ; but the present parties in power had
disclaimed their right to be recognized as the
French G overnment after the existing state of things
should cease. Until, therefore, the French people had
declared what form of government they would adopt
England could not be beforehand, and acknowledge it. The
French people by their votes declared their adoption of
the Empire, and four days afterwards that form of govern-
ment was recognized by the British Government. But if
they steped in before the judgment of the people they were
running the risk of making themselves guilty of that
intervention which was contrary to the policy they had
determined to carry out. The right hon. gentleman then
concluded by observing in answer to a question put
by Mr, L. Jones, that as soon as the French people had
chosen a Government for themselves the British Govern-
ment would at once asknowledge it. As to the dismem-
berment of the French territory, anythingthe Government
had to say on that point should be said first of all to the
parties concerned. Having heard what they had said it
should receive every consideration.—After thanking the
right hon. gentleman, the deputation withdrew.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY BY A DERBYSHIRE
INNKEEPER.

A daring case of highway robbery was investigated on
Monday at Derby. On the evening of the 14th of Sep-
tember (the St. Leger day) Mr. Henry Dean, living at
Burnaston, near Derby, was returning from the latter

town to his home, when he called at a public-house kept
by John Brassinton, in the village of Mickleover. At this
time he had in his possession a cheque value £6OO, a sove-
reign, two half-sovereigns, and some eighteen shilling in
silver. After taking some ale he entered into conversation
about a pigeon match, during which Brassington (the
publican) was present. It was proposed that a match
should be shot for money, but Dean would not agree to
this, and express-ed his intention of going home. Dean,
before leaving the house, no doubt foolishly pulled out
his pocket-book, which induced Brassington to follow
him into the road. Here the prosecutor is un-
able to state what took place, but he appears
to have taken the direction of his home. A short time
after, while walking along, he perceived something white.
on the roadside, and this turned out be a man. No sooner
did he notice this than another man rushed up, threw him
down, and took away his money. After the men had got
away, he turned back in the direction of Brassington's,
and when near the house overtook Brassington.
He told him he had been robbed, and afterwards went on
to Derby to give information to the police. He saw
Brassington the next day at his house, and again told him
that he had been robbed, To John Webster, who was
in the house when Dean came in, Brassington is stated to
have suggested that they should take Dean's money, as
he had seen some in his possession, and when
Webster replied that it would be best let alone,
Brassington said they could give him some gin,
make him drunk, and then take the money. When Dean
left the house no one remained but himself (Webster) and
Brassington, who induced him to go in a lane with a view
to rob Dean, and said, "As you are very fresh, I'll do
the job." As soon as Dean came up Brassington Rushed
him down and took something from his pocket. B.rstaangton
and himself then went away in different directions, but,
returned to the house, where Braseington gave him 145..
Istating that he had taken 28s. from Dean. On the next
day Brassington told him he had taken a cheque for six
hundred pounds, which he advised 'him to destroy.
Detective Davis, of the county constabulary, appre-
hended Brassington, who repudiated all knowledge
of the robbery, and denied that he had been in the lane at
all that night. On the other hand, several witnesses swore
to seeing both himself and Webster in the vicinity of. the
robbery, and on the evidence Brassington was then com-
mitted for trial at the next Derbyshire assizes, bail being
refused. A few weeks ago Brassington was fined £5O for
a breach of the Excise, laws. -
