LAW AND POLICE.

DEFRAUDING THE PARISHIONERS.—John Macdonald, a
stalwart fellow, was brought up at the Westminster
Police-court, charged with attempting to obtain parish
relief by false pretences, having 6d. in his possession.
Heney Thomas Wells, superintendent of the casuals, at
St. Luke, Chelsea, said the prisoner came in with other
casuals, and was asked the usual questions as to his
name, place he had journied from, and where
he was going to. He was then asked twice
if he had any money, and on both occasions said
no ; witness then searched him, and at the end of a piece
of meat a sixpence was found embedded in the fat.
Prisoner said the sixpence was given him by a soldier to
get some bread and cheese ; he could not get two beds
with it, so took his boy to the workhouse, and thought there
was no harm in having a few pence to start with in the mor-
ning. Mr. Woolrych said he was liable to a term of three
months' imprisonment, but as it was hid first offence he
should order him to be kept to hard labour for 10 days;
and the boy could be kept in the workhouse in the
meantime.
EXTRAORDINARY DEFENCE.—Robert Macarthy, a long-
shore thief, was charged on remand, at the Thames Police-
court, before AI r. Paget, with stealing rope, which the
Thames Police discovered on board a barge in charge of
the prisoner, who had stolen it from some vessel in the
river. The prisoner secreted the rope under some rubbish,
where it was discovered. The prisoner read the following
defence :—" Most Worshipfull Hofficiating Magistrake,
Arbour Squarve, Stipney, September 25, 70, Hoffociating
Magistrate, Arbour Squarveree Police Court. Worshipp-
full Sir, I beg to lay before your Warshipp the circum-
stances belonging to this here case. lam employed, am
employed at ballast wark, and no mistake, for the last 8
years, and during that Hinterval I was not in the presence
of a Justice of the Piece. Sir, this has been peevisly testified
by worthy reprentativis. I beg to say that this event was a
consequent of the invincible flow of the tide, leaving the
scraps aboad of the barge' which by the aforesaid pressure
of the tidal wave, which by the foregoing pressure, fell
an honest victim to my hands without a claimant. Sir,
there is no ophonent, hence I confide it to the Worshipfull
trust reposed on you P. F. 0. L. R. McArthy." Mr.
Paget asked where this precious' effusion was composed
and written, to which the prisoner replied " two."
written in gaol by a chap that knows a thing or .
Mr. Paget was by no means convinced that the " tidal
wave ' threw the rope on to the barge, and convicted the
prisoner of unlawful possession, and sentenced him to two
months' imprisonment with hard labour.
CURIOUS MODE OF THIEVING.—One of those thieves
who destroy the carriages of our railways has just been
caught and severely punished. This man was named
Samuel Smith, aged 27, who pleaded guilty, at the Mid-
dlesex Sessions on Monday, to an indictment for stealing
141bs. of horsehair, the property of the Midland Railway
Company, and also to a second indictment for stealing 141bs.
of horsehair, the property of the Great Northern Railway
Company. The prisoner, who had been previously convicted,
had systematically cut open the squabs of the first-class car-
riages, and sold the hair which he abstracted to a marine-
store dealer in the Euston-road. He was watched and
caught with horsehair in his possession, and had been
seen selling another parcel at the shop mentioned. Mr.
Serjeant Cox sentenced him to be kept in penal servitude
for seven years.
A STRANGE CASE.—In Dublin on Saturday Mr. Justice

O'Brien presided~
in Chambers to receive i, return to a
writ of habeas corpus last week, for the restoration to the
custody of their parents of two little girls named
Yeates, who had been detained by their grandmother
and her husband. Mr. Yeates, at whose suit the
writ was. issued, is a Protestant, but his mother is
a Catholic, as is her second husband (Mr.
Yeates's step-father) Mr. Hanl In the early
part of last year the children had been allowed to come to
Dublin (their parents reside in London), on a visit to
their grandmother. Under various pretexts she refused
to let them return, and Mr. Yeates having learned that
they were being educated by her in the Roman Catholic
religion, came to Dublin with his wife to recover pos-
session of them. After various evasions, the children
being sent out of the house to avoid him, he at last
succeeded in seeing them ; but both the grandmother
and her husband positively refused to give them up,
the latter saying that he should never have them, and
that he (Hand) would spend £2OO and suffer
two years' imprisonment to frustrate him. The children
were now brought up in obedience to the order of the
Court. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Hand was represented,
nor did they appear in person. His lordship having
directed the children to be given into the custody of their
father, an affecting scene ensued. The youngest child
seemed to grieve bitterly at leaving her grandmother, and
screamed out, when she heard the order made, " I will go
next summer, pa." The elder wept in silence. They
were then removed to an adjacent apartment, whepce
the scrtams of the younger child were for a long time
audible.

There has been an absence of any important feature in
the Stock Market to-day. In all classes of securities the
business doing has been extremely moderate. Nevertheless
the tendency taken altogether has not been unfavourable.
The quietness is undoubtedly due to the poverty of infor-
mation contained in the news from the seat of war. For
home securities the demand has been inactive. Consols have
been flat and lower, at 91Z to 92 for delivery ;
and the account. Reduced and New Three per Cents.,
901, 91 ; Exchequer Bills, 45., Bs. prem.; India Five
per Cents., 110, nol, and India Bonds, 15s. to 20s. prem.
Colonial Government Securities have been quiet, and
without change. After the official close the tone of the
markets became much better. Turkish stocks were pur-
chased, and consols recovered, the fall being quoted at
92 to 92* for delivery, and the account.
English railway stocks have been dealt in very quietly,
and prices have been without change of importance.
North-Western stock at 1271, 1271, is better, and Great
Western at 69Z, 701. Metropolitan is quoted 65, 65k;
Caledonian, 741, 75 ; Brighton, 401, 41 ; South-Eastern,
721, 73 ; Great Northern A, 132, 133 ; Great Eastern,
37k, 371 ; Midland, 1251, 126 ; and North Eastern, 143
to 1431.
There has been very little inquiry for Indian Railway
Stocks. Bombay, Baroda, and Central India, 1051, ;
East Indian, 110, ; and Scinde, 1021, 1031. In Cana-
dian Shares the transactions have been restricted. Great
Western, 15. Foreign Shares have been purchased
cautiously. Great Luxembourg, 12i ; Lemberg Czerno-
witz, 161; Recife and San Francisco, 16. Lombards have
been better, at 141, 4.
Although business in Foreign Bonds has been limited,
the market has been steady, and the tendency has been
I favourable. Egyptian (1868) have risen 1, ditto Govern-
ment Railway Debentures, 1 ; Italian (1865), 1 ; Russian
(1850), 1; Spanish, 4 ; ditto 1869, i Turkish Five per
Cents., 1; ditto 1869,11 per cent. ; Italian (1861), 53 to
53i ; Turkish Five per Cents., 42 to 421; ditto 1869, 53
to 54k. American Securities have been steady. The 5-20
1882 Bonds have been* per cent. better ; ditto 1887,
and 10-40 ; but Atlantic and Great Western Con-
solidated Mortgage Bonds are 1 lower.
Transactions in Bank Shares have been on a limited
scale. Consolidated, 41 ; Imperial Ottoman, 111 to ;
London and County, 48 ; Oriental. 434 ; and Union of
London, 371. _ _ .

In Telegraph Shares the business doing has not been
extensive. Anglo-Mediterranean, 14 ; British Indian
Extension, 6a to ; British Indian Submarine, 7i to ;
Falmouths, 10} ; and Great Northern, 11k. Telegraph
Construction have been better, at 25i to 26k.
In Miscellaneous Securities sales have been unim-
portant. Credit Foncier of England 2 3-16 ; Hudson's
Bay, si ; Ocean Marine, 181

accommodation, and three months' paper has been nego-
tiated at 2a to 2,1, per cent.
At a meeting held yesterday of Messrs. Elliot, Kerr and
Co., of Abchurch-lane, merchants, it was stated that the

The following has been received from the Eclipse Gold
Mining Company (limited) :
Report for August, 1870.
(Received 27th September, 1870.)
Captain Barratt reports :—Since my last statement of pro-
gress I beg to say we have opened on the lode in the out-
crop south of the cross-course. The end is now in about
3 fms. 3 feet. The lode is eight feet wide, of a very pro-
mising nature, composed of the same kind of quartz as
that in the north mine, only being near the surface it is
not so auriferous. At intervals it shews good
samples, but not sufficient gold to be treated in the milt.
I anticipate this champion lode will in a few feet more
driving come into good- pay ore. The main shaft I have
suspended for the present, as well as the north bottom
end, and the men are cutting down main shaft to put in
double track for the more speedy discharge of the
quartz ore. A whim will also be prepared and
fixed on main shaft. The slow system of
taking the ore out of the mine by mule by
single tracks as formerly, is too slow for our present
requirements. This track, I hope, will be finished in a
month, when the sinking of main shaft, driving tunnels,
and stoping ore will be resumed and carried on without
intermission. The engineer with staff is busily engaged
fixing the cylinder bed and other preliminary work,
against the engine and stamps arrive. The boiler and
some of its fittings will be here in a week, and boiler
makers from San Francisco will soon be here to put it
together. Probably the engine and other machinery from
England has ere this arrived at San Francisco ; that will
also be despatched here without delay, and on its arrival
will immediately be erected• All the different points of
operation are being pushed on with all possible despatch,
and with due care to economy.
