" Sir,—Understand me that I did not want to cheat
you out of 201. written for, but should the gentleman have
called on me, who is about to become the secretary to
this move, ask me who the clerk was, and I had men-
tioned your name, and then you to have failed in coming,
it would have made me look very foolish. If you come
to town on Wednesday I shall be most happy to see
you ; but you will not till 13th, as the new offices will
not be ready, and it will be a pity to waste the carridge
of coming up twice Do as you please. Send on
Monday, and then say when you will for certain be in
London. _ _

" Sir, I am yours obliged,

" To Mr. Jacobs." "BENJAMIN BROWN.
Mr. George Taylor, assistant-registrar of Joint-Stock
Companies, at the Office, Sergeant's Inn, Fleet-street,
produced an index of all the joint-stock and railway
companies registered, and found by it that no such com-
pany as the Prince of Wales' London and Oxford Railway
Company was registered.
Mr. HENRY told the witness it would be necessary to
produce the books of registration themselves on the trial,
as the Court would not be satisfied with the index alone ;
but would require to have the entries shown in order to
negative the prisoner's representation.
Mr. Taylor said that when the entry of registration
was made, the parties received from the registrar, under
his hand and seal, a regular certificate of the registra-
tion, so that if the prisoner had registered any parti-
cular railway, and that the fact was questioaed, he
could at once produce the certificate.
Mr. HENRY here called the prosecutor into the wit-
ness box, and asked him whether, independently of the
prisoner's offering him the place of clerk on a railway,
be should have parted with his money, if the pri-
soner had distinctly told him that such railway was
not registered.
The prosecutor replied that he certainly shoul I not
have done so but for the prisoner's assurance that they
were regularly registered, and that all was right.
Mr. Games—With your Worship's permission, I beg
to ask the witness a question which I have before
omitted.

Mr. HENRY —Certainly.
Mr. Games—Then I wish to ask the prosecutor whe-
ther anything particular took place on the occasion
of his paying the prisoner the 501., at 43, Moorgate-
street ? Prosecutor—Yes, the prisoner, while I was
telling the fifty sovereigns on the desk, requested I
would not make a noise.

Mr. Games—He seemed afraid that the other pro-
jectors of railroad schemes in the adjoining room would
hear the pleasing sound of the gold ? Prosecutor—He
seemed so.

Mr. Games—Did anything else happen about the room
door? Prosecutor—Yes; the prisoner took the key out
of the door, and shut the small bolt softly before I began
to pay him the money.
Mr. HENRY—And all this did not excite your sus-
picion? Prosecutor—No, sir, unfortunately it did not.
Mr. HENRY here said he should commit the prisoner
to take his trial for receiving the money under false
pretences. _ _ _

- While Mr. Games, the second clerk, was taking the
evidence in deposition form, it was found that the police-
man had allowed Mr. Taylor, from the Registry-office,
to go away, so that the prisoner will be again brought
up this day, to have the deposition of that gentleman
taken.
