John Hurrows Bastard, described on the sheet as a
clergyman, living at the'llotel de Provence, in Leicester-
square, was placed before Mr. Jardine, charged pith
indececently assaulting a young man named Thomas
Green, in the pit of the Acklphi Theatre.
The complainant, who was the son of a gunmaker, of
No. 4, Leicester-square, stated that the prisoner accosted
him in a state of intoxication, and committed the inde-
cency- described, upon which he went out and vaned a
policeman, to whom he mentioned the circumstance and
gave him in charge, at the same time saying that if the
prisoner confessed his offence, he would not prosecute
him. The prisoner refused to do this, and was after-
wards taken into custody.
No defence was now offered by the prisoner, who was
committed for trial at the sessions, it being intimated
that bail would be taken if submitted and approved.
LAMBETH. _

Mr. Robinson, the superintendent of the P, or Cam-
berwell, division of police, waited on Mr. Elliott to take
his Worship's advice upon the best means of bringing to
justice some person or persons at present, and for some
time past, carrying on a successful and wholesale system
of swindling by means of lending in some instances, and
promising to lend in others, bills of exchange of various
amounts.
Mr. Robinson stated, that for some weeks past various
complaints had reached him from persons who had been
defrauded by a set of bill-swindlers residing in Villa-
street, Albany-road, in his district, and its immediate
neighbourhood, and who appeared to carry on a suc-
cessful, as well as an extensive, system of fraud. The
first application made to him was by a most respectable
tradesman in Greenock, who had unfortunately been
drawn into a correspondence and transaction with
the swindlers, and who had been duped to an al-
most incredible extent. It seemed that this trades-
man was in want of 200/.. and the sharpers, under the
assumed name of " J. 11. Taylor and C 0.," having
first received Post-office orders for 10/. commission, sent
two bills of exchange, the one for 121/. 155., and the
other for 831. 45.. to him. Both bills purported to be
drawn by J. 11. Keith, Brighton, and accepted by Tho-
mas Butcher, commission-agent, Camberwell New-road,
and made payable at the Commercial Bank of London.
These bills the tradesman at Greenock got discounted by
the Western Banking Company ; and some days before
they became due he received a letter from Messrs. J.
and H. Taylor, intimating that if he forwarded then the
205/. in cash they should punctually attend to and take
up the bills when due ; and he. conceiving that he was
dealing with men of honour, had the folly to forwa d to
the firm four notes for 501. each, and one for 5/. for that
purpose. By due course a receipt for the mom.)
came to hand, but a post or two after brought
another letter from Messrs. J. and U. Taylor, stating
that they were sorry, deeply sorry, that owing to a
grcss mietake made by one of their clerks, his money
had been taken for another person's bill, but
declaring that as soon as they were in funds they should
release his bills, which at that time remained protested
in the hands of the banker. The Western Banking
Company became urgent for the payment of the bills,
which had been returned to them, and the Greenock
tradesman was actually compelled to settle with the
firm. This, however, was not all; he came to London,
and, anxious to obtain some redress, or punish the
swindlers for the shameful manner in which they had
treated him, employed a Chancery-lane solicitor to see
him righted. This person, though he had done very
little more than make a few inquiries, and tell him he
had no legal redress, had the assurance to make out
a bill for 20/., and compel him to pay it.
So that, with the second imposition, and his
Coming to London twice, his connexion with the
swindlers cost him 300/., besides the extreme mortifi-
cation of being so grossly duped. The next com-
munication which he (Mr. Robinson) would mention
was one from a tradesman in Newry, in the north
of Ireland, with whem the same swindler, but under a
different name, of A. and C. Hill, were in correspon-.
donee. This Newry tradesman, with becoming prudence
and precaution, hadi written to him (Mr. Rubinson),
stating that he had received a circular from Messrs. A.
and C. Hill, Albany-road, London, and requesting to
know if the firm was respectable, and such as, in his
(Mr. Robinson's) opinion, he would be safe in doing

business with. His reply was to the effect that he did
not think it advisable for him to have any dealings with
the parties referred to, and he at the same time re-
quested that he might be furnished with such facts as
might enable him (Mr. Robinson) to adopt measures to
prevent such characters from defrauding the unwary.
In reply to this communication he received a letter
thanking him for his kindness, and enclosing a litho-
graphic circular, of which the following is a copy:—
" Sir,—As a general reply to your favour, we beg
leave to inform you we are willing to remit to you the
amount you request in bills of exchange. Our commis-
sion of 5 per cent., which includes all expenses, is upon
the amount wanted, and not after the rate of so much
per cent. per annum (say 51. for every 1000; but the
dates and amounts of course to your own convenience.
Should you require the bills to he renewed, when due,
for three, six, or nine months longer, our commission
then would be only 2i per cent. (say 21. 10s. for every
1000, that is when ti.e bills are in amount from 50/. and
upwards (for smaller sums we charge the full commis-
sion of 5 per cent.), and the same charge every time
you require the renewal; therefore this assistance may
be continued for any length of time you choose to go to
the expense, or as long as it suits your purpose.
" We wish to be as explicit as possible in the first in-
stance, that no mistake may occur afterwards. The
commission must, in all cases, be remitted before we can
attend to our friends, the profit upon bill business being
so smal: that frequently the transactions are not worth
attending to. As we never take any credit ourselves for
expenses, stamp, &c., we trust our correspondents will
not require it of us. We-entirely confine ourselves (for the
present at least) to procuring bills of exchange for respect-
able parties, in amounts and dates as may be requested.
It would take up so much of our time to attend to dis-
counting, from the number of bills that go through our
hands daily, that we invariably decline it even for
bankers' acceptances. In sending the commission on
the amount you require please to forward us a copy of
the undertaking, signed by yourself. At the same time,
whenever our best services aro useful, we shall at all'
times be happy to render them, and we trust to your
strict punctuality on all occasions in providing payments
in due time fur any bills we remit. In a business we
transact together it will be our study to give every sa-
tisfaction. • We shall be happy of your correspondence,
hick will at all times meet immiediate and must con-
fidential attention by, , •
" Sir, 'yoursn'ioa're'Spectfully,
"A. and C. HILL."

" Albany-road, Londem, March 31.
" A satistactory,retereno.will .be expected, and a
friend of ours will make inquiry in the most delicate
and sate manlier, without the object transpiring.
" P.S. We always advise our correspondents to keep
their transactions confidential, and pvy away the bills
if they had received them in the usual way of business,
or from an agent, or ai assistance by Iriends. Bills to
the amount of 5001. and upwards, wiien required, will
have a drawer, and be endorsed by one or two ot,er re
spectabk: factors, brokers or tradezinen, in the usuai
,nere.lecil,3 ruevod, as It they had been already
negotiated by one party to another before you hatr
them; and we can also change them in peat varlet.)
from time to time as circumstances may arise to requ'ile
it. Saleable goods at a fair market price will be taken
for our commission, when bills to the amount of 500 i.
are requested. We have by us at this moment several
most respectable bills, in amounts from 501. to 5501. at
z,hree, four, and six months' date, accepted by merchants,
and endorsed by several parties as above stated. The
'carriage must be paid upon all goods and parcels, anti
the same at all times advised per letter just before
sending.

Yj-u can have bills to the amount of 2001. in various
dates and amounts. Our commission will be 101., or a
larger sum it you wish it on the same terms.
" Yours truly, " A. and C. H."
Mr. Robinson further proceeded to say, that in conse-
quence of the above and other communications which
nad reached him on the same subject, he had caused a
diligent inquiry into the matter, and had found out a
house in Villa-street, Albany-road, Camberwell, to
whie'l a number of letters were directed through the
Post-office to Taylor and Co., Anderson and Co., Hill
and Co., Mackey and Co., and D. D. and Co., and were
taken in there. The door was always answered by a
woman, who, when asked for either of the above names,
replied that they resided there, but were from home at
the time; and to a person calling 50 times a-day she
gave the same answer, so that he could not get at the
tact whether there was a man resident in the house or
not. He (Ms. Robinson) had also ascertained that lat-
terly the letters addressed to this house were taken to 3,
Wilmot-place, Old Kent-road.
Mr. ELLIOTT—Have inquiries been made about
Keith, the drawer, and Butcher, the acceptor of the two
bills that had been forwarded to Greenock?

Mr. Robinson—Yes, your Worship ; the former could
not be found in Brighton, nor was there such a person
as the latter in the whole of the Camberwell New-road.

Mr. ELLIOTT—Then your impression is,. that those
names are merely fictitious, and that the bills without
the endorsement of the person at Greenock were not
worth a farthing

Mr. Robinssirt—Decidedly, sir, that is my opinion.
The names are merely given, and no particular address
is attached to them beyond Brighton and the Camber-
well New-road. This system of fraud has been carried
to a considerable extent, and I felt it to be my duty to
take your Worship's. advice as to the:best means of check-
ing and preventing it.
Mr. ELLIOTT —No doubt the parties, if you could find
out who they are, might be indicted for a conspiracy,
and in the Greenock case they would be liable for a
prosecution for obtaining money under false pretences.
I think, with the assistance of the Post-office authorities,
who must, from delivering their letters and cashing their
Post-office orders, know a great deal about them, you
may be enabled to find out who are the real agents to
this system of fraud.

Mr: Robinson—Unfortunately, the Post office ordt:rs,
were cashed,long before the police heard anything of the
ease, and therefore we have no oppoi tunity to get at the
parties in the way your Worship suggest 3. If, however,
dl persons attempted to be imposed on actei with the
,awe prudence as the Newry tradesman, the extensive
rands at present pram's, d would be soon put a stop to.
Mr. ELLIOTT—WeII, I must say, Mr. Robinson, tha:
your countryman at Gre,nock did nut act with the
usual caution of a Scotchman; and I cannot help saying
also, that it looks very like, a change in the usual orde,
of things to find an Irishman acting with becoming
:)rudence and foresight, and a Scotchatan with a thorough
-cent of discretion and caution .—(Laughter.) I hope
you will not lose sight of the matter, but toil ,w up your
inquiries; and I have no doubt that the putl:cily which
she disclosures you have made must obtain, will have
the good effect of placing the public upon their guard,
and induce those individuals who may be drawn into a
correspondence with such a class as bill-lenders, bill.
discounters, and professed money lenders, to adopt the
proper caution of the Newry tradesman.
Mr. Robinson assured his Worship he would not lose
sight of the parties, but, on the contrary, should, b)
himself and his officers, use every exertion to bring them
to justice. Here the matter dropped.

EXTENSION OF THE FRANCHISE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

much has been said of late respecting the
extension of the franchise in this country, and as this
question is at the bottom of the whole Chartist agitation,
I beg to suggest the following mode of meeting the difli
culty, and of tilling up the gap which undoubtedly exists
in our representative system.
It has been stated in Parliament and elsewhere that
the present number of persons entrusted with the
franchise in England and Scotland is about 1,000,000,
and that there are about 5,000,000 adult inalf.q who are
not possessed of votes. Without examining the accuracy
of this calculation, we will assume it to be correct. They
question, then, for us to consider is, how are these
5,000,000 men to be represented in Parliament? Some
persons are of opinion that the present qualification
should be considerably lowered; others that household
suffrage should be the order of the day; and others,
again, that we should have universal suffrage. Without
adopting any of these plans (for I am one of those who
think that if property is to be a qualification at all, it
cannot well be lower than at present), I would suggest the
following expedient:—That the whole of the adult males
in this country not having votes, be annually divided
into hundreds, and that each hundred men elect one
man from their number, who shall be placed on the
register for the year, and considered as much entitled to a
vote as those who are already placed there for property
qualifications. Votes of this description would, of course,
be subject to annual revision the same as the rest.
Should this plan be adopted it would introduce a new
element into the Constitution, which, without over-
whelming those already possessed of property qualifica-
tions, would do away with the anomaly at present ex-
isting in our representative system. Supposing the
adult male population (not possessed of votes) to be
5,000,000, we should then have 50,000 new votes, or an
addition of one-twentieth to every constituency, whether
of counties or boroughs.
Sir, I will not go into minutite on this occasion, but I
earnestly request the attention of her Majesty's Govern•
ment, and of your very extensive circle of readers, to
this proposition.
I am an ardent admirer of our constitution, and a
friend to good order and progressive reform, and should
rejoice that the Noble Lord at the head of the Govern-
ment and his able colleagues should have the honour of
doing away with the reproach which is at present cast
on our representative system, for were the plan which I
have suggested (which is capable of any amount of ex•
tension) ever to become the law of the land, no man,
however humble, coula rise up and say, " I am not
represented in the Commons House of Parliament."
I remain, Sir, yours,

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—WOOLWICEI, MAY 3.
—The Enterprise, Captain Sir James Clarke Ross, was
removed from under the sheers at the basin at Woolwich
Dockyard to-day, to moorings alongside the Hebe re-
ceiving-ship, in the middle of the River, where :;ha will
take in the remainder of her stores, and remain there
until ready to proceed on the Arctic searching expedi-
tion. A number of friends of Captain Sir James Ross
visited Woolwich Dock-yard to-day, for the purpose of
going on board the Enterprise, to witness the prepara-
tions of the vessels fitting out under the superintendence
of the Gallant Officer. Two steam launches have been
built by Mr. Thompson, of Rotherhithe, the builder of
the Banshee, Holyhead mail steam-packet, and they
have been fitted with screw propellers and engines, by
Mr. Beale, engineer, East Greenwich. The Lords of
the Admiralty have ordered a trial of the launches
to
take place to-morrow (Thursday), opposite Somerset
House, and the launches will leave Mr. Beak's at half
past eleven o'clock for that Purpose. The Charon
steatn•vessel left Woolwich today with the riggers lent
to this yard from Chatham, to expedite the finishing of
the rigging of the vessels for the Arctic expedition, and
the advanced steamers fitted at this port. The Speed-
well left this afternoon for Rye.

IRELAND.
THE LIMERICK CATASTROPHE.
DUBLIN, MAY 2. lt would now appear that the_
O'Brien, Meagher, and Mitchell catastrophe was
pro-
moted by a -ev. Old Irelander. The Tipperary Vin-
dicator, which contains a lengthened report of the p!o-
--ceedings at the soiree on Saturday, gives the following
key to the mystery of its origin:—
" It may be necessary to observe that this extreme
opposition, animosity, and violence on the part of the
Limerick mob towards the demagoguesl began only to
show itself within the last few days. The Roy. 9r.
O'Brien, one of the most active and energetic leaders', 01.
the Repealers here, objected to the introduction of ;AG
Mitchell's name on the list of toasts, in consequence °f a.
libellous attack on the memory of the
of
O'Connell which appeared n the United Irishman
letter
of the
i a
previous Saturday. Dr. OBrien not only wrote,
in one of the local newspapers in reference to t be libel,
but be circulated the letter in thousands of ban dbills
he
throughout the city. A letter in reply, written by t
secretaries of the Sarstield Club, appeared in ithe Re-
porter."
It is not unlikely that in addition to venerati on or
" the memory of the illustrious O'Connell," two ethe,,
and stronger motives influenced this worthy divit le to
his rev. colleagues, viz., the tact of two ot the dell?a;
gogues being Protestants, and the damage wbicef
the Old Ireland leaders (especially th,Nie heir
the clerical order) rightly foresee to t ~,,
lucrative trade of chronic agitation from th e more
active, and apparently more sincere, movement of
.L„
Young Irelanders. The speeches made On St Ftori.:ft
evening before the dispersion appear to have Ix te0.170,
in treason, as the report in the Tipperary Vi• fdic" 1.,
is in several places interrupted by asterisks, ob yious.,
indicating the omission ofassages of extramelioril
virulence. From the speech of Mr. Mitchell, stA Pi:,"o
