THEDRAL,

This was the petition of Mr. Trimmer, Mr. Jones, Mr.
C. Turner, Mr. P. Hardwick, Mr. Harper, and Mr. H.
A. S. Munro, the trustees of the late celebrated artist,
Mr. Turner, R.A. The object of the petitioners was to
obtain te residue of a sum of 1,2411., after payment of
costs, to enable them to carry out the deceased artis.'6
wish to have a monument erected in St. Paul's Cathe-
dral, where he desired to be buried " among hi 3 brothers

in art."

Mr. W. H. Terrell now stated that the trustees wished
to be quite unfettered in the mode by which they could
carry out Mr. Turner's wishes. It was not necessary to
• have any scheme, as that would diminish the fund, and
the case before the Court was not one of charity, but
merelz, one in which trustees were about to incur what
might be deemed funeral expenses. Mr. Hardwick,
Mr. Jones, Mr. Turner, and Mr. Munro were all con-
nected with the arts, and circumstances might arise in
the progress of the erection which might render it de
sirable that the executors should not be fettered with
any positive scheme. It was likely that tenders for
designs might be invited, and prizes awarded for the
best ; but all the petitioners asked was the sanction of
the C.,urt to enable them to be unfettered in their dis-
cretion.

The Vice-Chancellor wished to leave the trustees as
unfettered as possible, both as to the design and the
erection of the monument. At the same time, before
the money which was carried to the account of the
monument was paid out, he thought there ought to be
something t) show that there woe a scheme in progress,
at !out, if not completed, for erecting the monume;it,
and what was likely to be the•.expense. He must not
be understood, however, as wishing to exemee any
control over the executers as to the monument which
they meant to erect. On the contrary, he should decline
the office.
Mr. Terrell said the;whole amount would he expended
in that object, but the trustees were afraid that if in.
gullies were directed the fund would be diminished by
the costs expended in chambers.
The Vice-Chancellor thought the expenses at chambers
could not possibly be more than very trifling, possibly
101. or 201. It was not his wish to se.e plans or designs;
he should dec!ine the office of judging of them, if it were
proposed to him. But it was the duty of the Court to
traee the money into the hands of the trustees. It
might be desirable that the trustees should come before
him when their scheme was matured, and they would be
able to say what the cost would be. But he had no
wish to fetter their discretion. It might be better that
the petition should stand over, to enable the trustees to
consider this, and they need not doubt that he should
gladly give them ample authority re:ating to the designs
and the power of calling for tenders. He would himself
deal with the cage at chambers. He wished the trustees
to understand that it was not in the least his desire to
exercise any control over the artistical design,; but,
before the money was paid out, it was ri4lat the Court
should have some tangible evidence of what it was
wanted for.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
Oitting in Banco )
THE EARL OF LORAN V. SUITH.

Mr. Field applied for leave to plead two pleas in this
case, winch was an action for an alleged libel in the
Daily Nests on the noble plaintiff soon after the termi-
nation of the Chelsea inquiry. , The defendant proposed
to plead "Not GuE4y," and a special plea setting out
all the facts relating to the appeintment of the commis-
sioners, and in substance alleging that the article in
question warn a fairomment on the inquiry in question.
Mr. Lush appeared to =how cause in the first instance,
and rested his opposition to the second plea on the
ground that it was in effect a plea that the article was
only a fair comment on a public matter which was prov-
able under the general issue. All the matters set out id
the plea were irrelevant, and, moreover, incapable of
proot. The whole matter put in issue in the special
plea would arise under the general issue. It was not,
therefore, competent to the defendant to plead the special

plea.
Mr. Field, in reply, insisted on the propriety of allow-
ing the defendant to place the facts set out in the second
plea on the record.
Mr. Baron Alderson—You might as well put " Chevy
Chase" on the record.

The Court uttimately gave leave to the defendant to
plead the general ismue, and so much of the second plea
only as set forth the fact that tho alleged libel was only
a fair et/int/lent, in a public journal, on the public acts of
a public man.
Rule niA accordingly.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
THE NEW CHIEF JUSTICE.

Sir A. Cockburn was this morning made a sergeant,
preliminary to his taking his seat as Cuief Justice of this
court. His lordship made his appearance at the bar
shortly before half-past 12, dressed in lull sergeant's cos-
tume, and the judges assumed their black caps. Titers
were also upon the bench Lord Campbell, Mr. Justice
Coleridge, and Mr. Justice Crompton. The process of
counting was gone through in th's usual form, the gen-
tlemen taking part in it .being Sir Alexander, Mr. Ser-
geant Manning (the Queen's ancient sergeant), and Mr.
Sergeant Channel', and the senior waster, Mr. Caucellor.
After the counting bad been gone through, " Brother
Cockburn" was asked if he bad anything to move, an d
he having bowed to the bench in answer, soon after re-
tired from the bar. The court was much crowded by
barristers and others desirous of witnessing the cere-
mony.

COURT OF B kNKRUPTCY.

THI GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY FRAUDS-REDPATH IN

BANKRUPTCY.

A petition for adjudication in bankruptcy has been
presented again,t Leopold Redpath by Messrs. Law-
rence, Plews, and Boyer, and Mr. Woodgate, on behalf
of Messrs. Field and Co., stock and share brokers.
This being the second bankruptcy, of course, if an ad-
j edication takes place, the matter will be allotted to Mr.
Conarnissi ner Goulburn, before whom it was before
heard. Mr. Pennell is the official assignee. The ac
counts under tee former bankruptcy commenced in Jan.
1835, and end in 1340 The debts under that petition.
were 4,740/. ; assets estimated at 9131. ; profits, 8471. ;
lessee, 2,115/. ; expenditure, a 5.53/. The bankrupt did
not seem to be possessed of that essential ingredient,
capital. The parties whom Redpath then patronised
were very numerous, including his watchmaker, oil-
broker, the advertisement agent, four tailors, a. chart-
seller, the newspaper-agent, two wine merchants, an
attorney, engraver, General Screw. Steate Navigation
Company fur passage-money, a merchant, a printer, the
pianoforte maker, the confectioner, a Custom-house
agent, a French merchant, a second oil merchant, the
carpenter, a milliner, a surgeon, a butterenerchant,
the sugar broker, a lighterman, a biscuit baker, two
fruit merchants, a cutler, a plumber, one. uphol
sterer, a mercer, a nurseryman, the jeweller,
three drapers, and two bouksellers. The property given
up was the household furniture at Blackheath, and in
eluded pictures, plate, and jewellery, at that place. The
bankrupt had made liberal donations, even before this
failure, to St. Ann's School, to the Society of B uee, and
the Merchant Seamen's Orphan Asylum, which he was
compelled to return in accounting for his "estate and
effects." Ho had paid 2251. for apparel. The bankrupt
did not even seem to Pave paid for his wedding-cake.
Mr. Wayte being returned as a creditor for 821., and
there is an accompanying item of 201. for the expenses on
the "happy occasion." The bankrupt, in his travelling
expenses, took credit for a sums p eid for a trip to Scot-
laud and back, and his "coach litre" between his rei idenco
and the City is put down at 901. In the losses there is a
sum of BSS/. on furniture at the Blackheath mansion on•
the realisation by the assignees under the bankruptcy,
Then there is the rent of.country house, garden expense,
repairs, stationery, advertisements, &e., which togethe
make a pretty good total—the proti s partly consisted ‘.l
6311., the salary received by the bankrupt, as a clerk,
from Messrs. Willcox and Anderson. The expenses of
maintenance include wines and spirits, and two servants.
The minor details show au equally lavish expenditure on
the part of the bankrupt.

THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY
FRA UDS.

EXAMINATION OF REDPATH AND KENT.—
CLERKENWELL—YESTERDAT.
A portion of the following appeared in our impression
of yesterday :
The further examination of the two prisoners, Redpath
and Kent, charged with fraud and forgery on the Great
Northern Railway, took place yesterday before Mr.
Tyrwhitt. The prisoner Redpath, it will be recollected,
was the registrar of shares and transferer of stock in the
company's employ, and the prisoner Kent was a clerk
in his office. Tire amount of which they have defrauded
the company is supposed to exceed 200,000 f.
The enormity of the offence, and the position of Red-
path, coupled with his mode and style of living in
Chester-place, has created great sensation throughout
the country as well as the metropolis. One o'clock was
the hour fixed for the hearing of the case, but for some
hours previously, and for a considerable period before
the opening of the Court, a large crowd of persons had
assembled around the Police-court, which increased as
the day advanced.
The usual hour for commencing the ordinary business
of the Court is half-past 10 o'clock, but, not.
withstanding there were thirty night charges to
be disposed of before this case e mild come on,
the magistrate did not take his seat on the bench till
past eleven o'clock. At this court all the officials appear
to have a peculiar way of conducting the business, con-
trary to that usually adopted at other police-courts; and
from the continual and aidible running commentaries of
the magistrate and clerk on each case that comes before
them much valuable time is lost ; and the sound of the
two voices, one striving to be heard above the
other, is anything but dignified or agreeable. No
arrangements had been made for the accommo-
dation of the representatives of the press, most of
whom had to discharge their onerous and arduous
duties as best they could, with their note-books, &c., on
their hands, knees, or hats, presenting a striking con-
trast to the admirable arrangements made for the accom-
modation of the representatives of the press at the Man-
sion-house during the examination of the gold robbers,
and at Lambeth Police-court during the examination of
Robson for the Crystal Palace frauds.
The court was densely crowded.
After a delay of about three-quarters of an hour from
the appointed time for the examination of the prisoners
they were placed in the dock. Kent walked first into
the dock, and assumed the brisk air and demeanour as
on the former occasion. Redpath followed, and looked
pale and haggard. He stood most of the time with his
hands behind his back.
Mr. Mowatt, the secretary to the company, and Mr.
Farquhar? of the Messrs. Johnson, Farquhar, and Such,
solicitors to the company, attended to watch the pro-

ceedings. •
Mr. Gifford, barrister, instructed by Mr. Humphreys,
attended for the company, to prosecute. Mr. Wontner
defended Leopold Redpath, and Mr. Hawkins, barrister,
inetructed by Mr.Dodd, of New Broad-street, defended
James Charles Comyus Kent,
Mr. Gifford said that, in addition to the evidence
already given, with reference to two items of fraud
against Redpatb, four other charges would be proved,
and it would be shown that he had transferred more
stock to himself than be ever possessed, and that he
had received dividends from them. Kent, it would be
shown, was cognisant of this fraudulent transfer. He
should show that in other transactions the prisoner
Kent acted in concert with Redpatb, and was aware
that in the transfer of shares from Stephen G. Allen to
George Sidney, by being the attesting witness, that the
signature of Mr. George Sidney was a forgery. It
would be shown that Mr. Sidney did not reside at the
address given, but that Redpath formerly lived there.
He called
Mr. Henry James Wood, whe deposed—l am a clerk
in the office of Messrs. Ford, Wood, and Co., of 9,
Warnford=court. In April, 1853, I completed a transfer
of UR A Consolidated Stock in the Great Northern
Railway from Henry Baker to Leopold Redpath. I
paid the money by check to Mr. Fawcett, the selling
broker to Mr. Baker, and I received the transfer dee,'.
It was numbered 8,518. I completed a similar transac-
tion on the same day of 2501. A stock, from William
Kitchen to Redpatb, numbered 8,519. I got a check
for 1181. 2s. 6.1. signed by my firm, which I handed to
Mr. Salter, Mr. Kitchen's broker.
Mr. Walter Fawcett—l am a stockbroker, of 22,
Threadneedle-street, in partnership with Messrs. Hill. I
recollect the clroolf.tion of the purchase of the consoli-
dated stock A 5001. I attested the transfer. Mr.
Henry Baker executed the transfer in my presenc'.
The attestation is in my handwriting. I received f 1361.
55., including the stamp, from Messrs. Field and Co.
on the completion of the purchase.
Mr. Hargrave Grylls—l am in the service of the Gre 0-,
Northern Railway as clerk. In April, 1853, I was em-
ployed at the London Terminus. I saw Redpath exe-
cute the transfers 8,518 Baker's, and 8,519 Kitchen's. I
attested both the transfers.
Mr. W. H. Clarke—l was formerly the registrar of
the Great Northern Railway stock. I left in April,
1854. I have the, register of stock before me, and on
looking at the register I find that a figure of
" 1 " has been added to the amount in each case, mak-
ing it 1,5001. instead of 5001., and 1,2501. instead of
2501., according to the transfer. If genuine they would
show that stock to that amount had been transferred
into Redpath's name. The whole of the figures making
the above amounts I believe to be in Redpath's hand-
writing. (The effect of this evidence was to prove
that the figure "1" had been added in each in-
stance surreptitiously by Redpatb.) There are
figures on page 553 of the registry in Kent's hand-
writing. There were also entries on the same page in
Redpath's handwriting. In page 558 there is a. con-
tinuation of Redpath's account, and entries of figures
there by Redpath aad Kent.
Cross-examined 133? Mr. Hawkins—The figures to
which I allude'are in the column bedded "A deferred."
It appears to me the greater part of the entries on page
553 are in Kent's handwriting.. The first four lines of
Redpath's account are in Kent's handwriting. The rest
is in Redpath's handwriting. On page 558, the con-
tinuation of Redpath's account, there are 11 lines
in' Kent's handwriting. The last entry in the account is
in Redpath's handwriting, which follows Kent's last
entries. Those preceding Kent's are in Redpath's and
another clerk's handwriting, whose name I don't now
recollect. The entries made by that clerk were made
subsequently to my leaving. I think that clerk's name
is Freeman. I believe it is a common practice for per-
sons having a quantity of stock beloniog to them
standing in other persons' names.
Mr. Hawkins—Has not a gentleman, whose name I
do not wish to mention, 100,0001. worth of stock in
this line standing in other persons' names ?
Witness—l don't exactly recollect.
Mr. Hawkins-I'll give you the name. Has not
Mr. Hutchinson that amount in other persons' names ?
Witness—Yes, I believe he had when I was in the
office.

Mr. Hawkins—ls it not recognised by the directors ?
Witness—Yes, I believe so. I don't know how they
could help it.
Mr. Gifford—Certainly not. How could they ?
Cross-examined by Mr. Wor.tner—The entries were
made in the register, when I was in the company's em-
ploy, by a clerk under' my directions. It was nay duty
to see the entries were properly made. I almost daily
overlooked the entries. The transfers, when they came
to my office to be registered, were under my control,
and I frequently looked at them.
By Mr. Tyrwhitt—When the transfers of shares are
brought to the office the numbers are entered on the re-
gistry by a clerk • from the actual transfers, and not
from any second-hand information. The transfers are
then pasted into a book kept in ',,he register's office, and
was a part of my duties.
By Mr. Gifford—ln April, 1853, Redpnth was the
registering clerk. As a general rule the clerks all
register, more or less. As Redpath was a superior
clerk he did the bulk of the registering business. Red-
path, Kent, and Cawkill made entries as clerks under
me. Referring to the figures 1,2501. and 1,5001., in
my judgment the figure "1," in both inßtanc,s, was
written at a different time from the other figures 2501.
and 5001. Referring to transfer number 8,431 in Rd-
path's stock, I find the account stands 1,1251. roe
first figure " 1." adding 1,0001., appears to have been
written at a different time from the other figures. The
whole of the entry is, however, in Redpath's hand-
writing. On looking to transfer 3N'o. 8451, I find the ac-
countr 1,212/. 103. The first "1" has the appearance of
been written after the others. The whole of the

Witness—l really do not see more than two
I think there is but one. (Witness again minutely eiro:
amined the page, and said he could see but one erasure.
After examining it with Mr: Wontner, he said that
possibly what Mr. Wontner pointed out were erasures;
but he would not swear that they were.)
By Mr. Tyrwhitt—There's one—if not another.
Witness--2 Yes. He would not swear to more. The
light was bad, and tho candle was not much assistance.
Mr. Henry Atterbary, clerk in the Great Northern

Railway Company's employ—l have calculated the
amount of consolidated A stock standing in Leopold
Redpath's name up to the sth February, 1854, when
the books closed for the December dividends in
1853. There wero 7,5001. standing in his name,
and out of his name to his debit 1,875/. The ,
balance would be i,625/., the nmount on which he would
be entitled to receive dividend. I produce the dividend
warrant of that date to the prisoner, representing 1,625/.
consolidated A stock. In page 558, and transfer No.
11,668, I find a transfer from him of 1,0001. If that
1,000/. entry had originally been 5.0001. it would have
made the dividend, as paid, right. The transfer was dated
12th Feb., 1354, after the books for the transfer had
been closed. The transfer was from the prisoner for
5,000/. Consolidated A. stock. In page 553, and refer-
ring to No. 8,431 transfer, I find the amount of stock
transferred into the prisoner's name, 1,1251. The trans-
fer to which that number refers si ates the amount to be
1251.,—a difference of 1,0001. The transfer No. 8,451 in
the register•book represents 1,212/. 10s 0 i., and the
original transfer to which that entry refers 2121. 10s. Od.,
again making a difference of 1,0001. In page 553 of the
register, and transfer 9,455, I find the amount entered
1,2501. The transfer itself represents only 250/., making
again a difference of 1,000/. In the same page is en-
tered transfer 9,456, for 1,212/. 10s. 01, whilst the origi-
nal transfer represents only 212/. 10a. Od., making
another difference of 1,000/. The gain to the prisoner
on the transactions to which I have referred was 10,000/.
stock more standing in his name in the register than the
original transfers represented. The dividend-warrant
for the December, 1853, dividends produced is signed by
the prisoner Redpath, which was a rt oeipt for the money.

Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—l entered the com-
pany's service in 1851, and I am still in the service, in
the audit department. I belonged to that department in
1854. The books did not then come under my notice.
There is a regular staff in the audit department, who
supervise the accounts.
Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—Since the payment
of the last March dividends I have been engaged in the
transfer-office.

By Mr. Gifford—The signature of the prisoner Kent
is affixed to the dividend-warrant. It was necessary at
that time to have an attesting witness to the document.
Any clerk or indifferent person might have done it. I
never attested one. The warrant represents the dividend
to be paid, if 5,0001. remained in the place of 1,0001.
Mr. Thos. Williams—l am inspector of the Great
Northern Railway line. I searched the prisoner Kent
on his apprehension, and found some letters upon him.
(The further examination of the prisoner was not pur
sued, Mr. Gifford being informed by Mr. Mould, the
chief clerk, that the evidence had been already taken,
and would be used against both prisoners.)
Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—He searched Kent
at his residence, and found on him a telegraphic message,
which I now produce.
By Mr. Gifford—l afterwards found in Kent's drawer
in the office a letter addressed to him by Redpath.

The evidence of Williams on Kent's first examination
was then read.

By Mr. Hawkins—When Kent said he would not tell
me where Redpath was to be found, I believe I had read
the telegraphic message which I found on Kent, and
which had been sent to him by Redpath. I did not call
Kent's attention to the fact that the telegraphic message
mentioned " Hotel, Windsor." Kent said he had not
sent an answer to Redpath's message for reasons of his
own. I made no memorandum at the time of the con•
versation. I gave my evidence on the following day.
Kant aas in custody before I found the letters, and I did
not see him again until before the magistrate.
Sergeant Mason, of the Metropolitan Police Force,
No. 25, S division—l found at Redpath's residence, in
Chester place, on Wednesday, the 12th, a letter, signed
" Charles Kent," which I produce.
The letter was then read by Mr. Mould, the chivf
clerk, and was as follows
:
"My dear Sir,—l enclose you three letters. Nothing
has been wanting. You may depend on my keeping every-
thing straight [this word was underscored], and I will not
leave the office. lam very much obliged for your card. I
am much in want of 30& Had I not better sell some of my
stock.—Yours very truly, " CHAS. KENT."

Mr. Atterbury was called, and proved that the letter
was in Kent's handwriting.
By Mr. Hawkins—l believe the clerks frequently re-
ceived assistance from Redpath. He was very kind to
them.

Mr. Gifford said that this was the whole of the evi-
dence he should adduce at present in support of the case,
and asked for a remand of a few days. Un another occa-
sion he should prove the regular execution of the tram-
fere and other matters to complete the case. He now
proposed to proceed with the forgery of the name of
Sidney. He re-called
Mr. Atterbury--I produce a transfer of B stock of
the Great Northern Railway Company for 1,0871. 10. e,
No. 16,774. It purports to be from Stephen George
Hammond, Barge-yard, Bucklersbury, gentleman, to
George Sidney, No. 20, Edward-street, Hampstead-
road, gentleman. It was dated 10th February,
1855, and purprted to be signed by Stephen
George Hammond and George Sidney. The attesting
witness to Sidney's signature is Chas. Bent,
King's-
cross (the prisoner). I believe the signatures, Hammond
and Sidney, to be in Redpath's handwriting. That of
Kent's to be in his own hand writing.
Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—The body of the
transfer is in Freeman's handwriting, a clerk in the
registration department. I know a person named Ham-
mond used to come to the office occasionally, but I do
not know him personally. He used to call before I was
removed to the transfer office. The person I allude to
is a young man.
Mr. Robert Mayman—l reside at No. 20, Hampstead.
r )ad, and I have done so for 13 years. At no time
during that period has a person named Sidney lived
t ere. Redpath lived there about eight or nine years
ago. I think he was out of employment when he first
resided there.

By Mr. Tyrwhitt—l never knew of any letters timing
there when Redpath lived there in the name of Sidney.
Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—Edward•street is
a-small street. Redpath lived there between one and
two years. He lodged with me.
By Mr. Tyrwhitt—There has been no other No. 20
in the street besides mine during the time I have lived
there. lam not aware that the numbers have been in
any way changed during that period.
Mr. Gifford said that was all the evidence he proposed
then to call.

Mr. Atterbury recalled, and examined by Mr. Haw-
kins—lt is the practice of the office to have every sig-
nature to a tran=fer attested. Transfers have been regis•
tered without it, but it is an irregularity ; the registrar
ought not to register a trensfer without it. Mr. Free-
man is still in the company's employ.
Mr. Gifford asked that the prisoners should be re-
manded till this day week.
Mr. Hawkins applied for bail for Kent.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said on a former occasion Kent was
offered bail, but the amount was considered too large—•
two sureties of 4001. each. The charge of felony by
forgery now altered his position, and it was a question
for further consideration.

Mr. Gifford objected to the prisoner being admitted to
bail. I was of the greatest importance to Redpath that
Kekit should not be forthcoming at a future period.
This was but one, of a series of charges to be brought
against

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was not more unwilling to
admit Kent to bail now than on a former occasion ;
but in a case of this; magnitude, and in London, be
thought it would he better for an application to be made
to a Judge in enambers to fix the amount of bail. Under
that impression he refused the application for bail.

The depositions were then readover, and the prisoners
were formally remanded till this day week.
Mr. Wontner said there was a very anomalous state of
proceedings connected with Redpath's case, which con
sisted in the police, under the direction of Superintendent
Loxton, having taken possession of Redpath's residence
in Chester-place, notwithstanding his servants were
there, and were capable of taking care of the property.
Superintendent Loxton, in taking possession of the pre-
mises, bad taken possession also of Redpath's clothes
,and his private papers. He (S.lr. Wontner) had applied
to Ur. Humpi...reys, the solicitor for the prosecution, on
the subject of the clothes, and that gentleman had
diree ed thrbt they shonld be given up, but the police
refused, except under the direction of the magistrate.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could have no objection to its
bein; done.

Superintendent Loxton—Do I' understand that I am
to give 3 up all the clothes in Redpath's two houses.
Mr. Tyrwhitt— The mrgistrate did not authorise this
proc,:eding on which you now ask what is to he dune. I
have. no objection, but I have nothing to do with it.
Mr. Wontner said that Superintendent Loxton had a
niu-ober of letters addressed to Redpath's residence for
him, and he (lir. Wontner) asked that they might be
given up to the prisoner.

Mr. Tyrwbitt said he should have no objection to
sanction any proceedingi the prosecutor might think
proper to alopt, and Superintendent Lorton must be
guided by them.
Mr. Humphreys said the railway authorities autho-
rised Super►ntendent Loxton to take possession of the
premises, and now he refused to go out or allow the
railway authorities to enter.
Mr. Superintendent Loxton said that he could not
give up possession wi',:hout authority.
Mr. Humpbreys 8 aid that Superintendent Lorton was
placed in the premises in order that the railway autho-
rities might have r.n opportunity of inspecting Redpath's
property. The a'.ixiety of the police ought to be to pro-
mote justice, and not to impede it.
Mr. Superintendent Loxton said he wished to promote
rtstice.

Mr. Hurnphrie,ys—Then why not give up possession of
the premises tc, the railway authorities ?
Mr. Superintendent Luton handed in several letters
he had retail ed, addressed to the prisoner Redpath, at
his rezidence,. Chester-place, and asked what he should
do with then'?

Mr. Wontner suggested that they should be handed
in to the magistrate, for him to read them, but if they
were of a private nature they might be handed to Red-

path.
The letters were banded in and read by the magistrate.
One had reference to an attachment on Redpath's pro-
perty, and another to a charitable application. The
nature of the others did not transpire.
The letters were handed over to the prisoner.
It was then arranged that the police should give
the railway authorities every facility with reference
to the prisoner's property at Chester-place.
The priioners were then removed from the bar, and
upon entering tLe gasiler's room Redpath said, with a
degree of caufidence, and addressing Kent, "There is
nothing against you, my boy. It was all bona fide stock
that you transferred," Temporary refreshment being
Previded, they were in the Caunle of• the evening con-
veYea to the llousaci Detention in the prison van.
