intents and purposes, a conspiracy, 9-tich the par-
ties would be liable to be indicted at the assizes.
There was nothing in the regulations of the company
to show that tickets were transferrable, and therefore
a transfer had no right to be made. This practice of
buying up excursion tickets had been carried on to
such a length, especially at the Brighton end
of the line, that the company were determined,
if possible, to put a stop to it. Mr. Faithfull then
called

[PRICE SD.

John Bish, inspector of police, in the company's
' service who dated that he had been a ticket-collec-
tor to the company about eight months, and that ha
was well acquainted with the different kinds of tickets
in use and issued by the company. The excursion
tickets were distinguished from the others by having
two colours, whilst a ticket by an ordinary train had
only one colour. On Sunday, the 10th August, in
consequence of instructions, he went to Brighton, and
saw Gregory at the Colonnade Inn, Queen's-road,
who beckoned to Stallard. Stallard then went to
Gregory, and after exchanging a few words with
each other, Gregory handed some money to Stallard,
who, in return, handed to Gregory a ticket. Witness
knew by the colours (red and green) that it was a
third-class excursion ticket. Gregory then went to
the station and appeared as if he was going by the
six o'clock train. Instead cf doing so, however, he
returned with a friend to the inn, where he remained
nearly an hour. Witness did not lose sight of him
the whole time, and consequently knew that he did
not purchase another ticket. lie followed him to the
station again, and saw in go to the booking-office,
nut down a third-class excursion ticket, with a
shilling, and heard him ask the clerk to exchange it
for a second-class excess ticket. The clerk did so, and
he then went to the platform and got into the car-
riage. Witness followed him, having previously
given some information to Mr. Wright, the ticket col-
lector. Before the train left for London Mr. Wright
collected Gregory's ticket, and witness, who was in
the same carriage, saw that it was a second-class ex-
cess ticket. He rode to London with Gregory ; and
in consequence of what witness told Mr. Smith,
ticket collector at London, the latter inquired of Mr.
Gregory his name and address. The reply was that
his name was Gregory,
C
and that, be resided at 28.amelford-street, Brighton.
In cross-examination by Mr. Lamb, the witness
said that when Stallard left Gregory, he did not know
where he went to. He could net tell how much
money passed; it was silver.
' George Wright, inspector of tickets at the Brighton
station, said he had known Gregory some time, and
that on the evening of the 10th of August he took
the second class excess ticket from him in a train
which went to London. The witness Bish was in
the carriage, and in consequence of what he was told
he had kept the ticket in his possession ever since.
By exchanging a third-class excursion ticket, and
paying Is., he could obtain that ticket, but in no other
wa Mr. Faithfull—That is the case.
Mr. Lamb then addressed the magistrates for the
defence. The case, he said, must fall to the ground,
notwithstanding the strong speech of his friend Mr.
Faithfull, who tried hard to make it appear that this
was a case of conspiracy to cheat the railway com-
pany. Why bad they not brought forward the
ticket alleged to have been sold by Stallard to Gre-
gory ? To establish a charge of conspiracy that
was a most essential link in the chain of evidence.
Again, there was no evidence of any contract or
agreement between Gregory and Stallard. Bish saw
them conversing together, and a ticket was handed
over ; but where was that ticket ? They could not
produce it, and if they had produced it, they must
have shown that there was a bargain between the
parties before they could establish a conspiracy.
Again, there was no proof that Gregory did not
come down from London himself in the morning. If
a contract were made on a Sunday it would not be
binding, for Sunday in law was a dies non. Stal-
lard did not even accompany Gregory to the station
to see whether Gregory obtained an exchange ticket.
Mr. Faithfull had not attempted to prove that the
tickets were not transferable, and how a charge of
conspiracy could lie against the defendant he could not
understand. The evidence might be inferential, but
there was nothing positive.
Mr. Carpenter said he had no doubt that a great
traffic was carried on in the sale of railway tickets,
which enabled persons to travel at greatly reduced
prices, and he did not wonder that the Brighton Rail-
way Company should have taken the matter up ; and
he believed that this system of traffic in tickets would
soon be effectually checked. He was by no means
prepared to say that if a case of this kind were clearly
made out to the satisfaction of the bench, that the in-
dividual who had done such an act would not be liable
to take his trial at the assizes ; but in the present case
there was no proof that the defendant Gregory had
not come from town on that day, and the evidence
with regard to the third, class ticket—that ticket not
being produced—was only inferential. The bench did
not think they could carry the case any further, but it
would be open for the company to indict the defen-
dants at the assizes if they chose.

to appear at the assizes
Mr. Carpenter—We cannot do that, as we do not
think the case sufficiently strong against him. The
:hird-class ticket ought to have been produced, and as
hat has not been done we dismiss the case.

Mr.Faithfall—The company are determined to put
a stop to this practice, and they will certainly indict
both defendants at the assizes.

The parties then left the court.

A RAFFLE FOR A NEGRO.

In my tour through the Southern States I have
met with many amusing incidents, but do not remem-
ber anything that created so great an excitement for
the time being as a " nego raffle" in the town of ---,
in the state of Mississippi. Mr. --, the owner of
the boy, having a note to pay that day, and not hawing
the wherewith to do it, was compelled to do what he
gladly would not have done. The boy to be rained
was a smart, intelligent lad, of about 18 years of age.
He went by the name of "Bill." There were 80
chances, with " three dice," at 10 dolls. per chance. I
was present when the affair came off; there remained
once chance, which I took and gave to Bill, upon the
condition that he would throw the dice himself, and
"shake like oxen." Bill rolled his eyes in an as-
tonished and astonishing manner, and after a hearty
wha !, wha ! wha! in which he displayed two fright-
ful rows of ivory, opening a mouth " like the break
of day from east to west, and with a low bow, said,
" try, masse." As may be supposed, the scene
became highly exciting. The raffle commenced. Bill
looked on unconcerned at anything but the idea of
leaving his old master. When the chances were all
raffled off but the last Bill took the box ; previous to.
his throwing, however, he was offered 100 dolls. for;
his chance, the highest throw yet made being 46.,
which stood " a tie " between two individuals ;
but Bill was no " Compromise man tit he I.(
j,"
fused the offer, saying, De whole hog or noffin
and made his first throw, which was thirteen, lois
second throw was sixteen; Bill stopped, scratened
his head, threw again, and up came eighteen. It was
declared off that " Bill was high and free," and such
a shout I never heard in my life. Bill hardly know
what to do with himself. Ina moment, however,, he
asked the whole party to drink, and no man in
'tis said, ever refused an invitation of the kind ex cept
one, and he died soon after ; so says tradition. Bill's
success induced him to try another speculation of the
" same sort," believing that he could do, as a free man,
as much as he had before done. He proposed No set
himself up again in a " raffle," and, as he had won
before, he thought it would be ne 'more than fair that
he should put the price at 600 dolls. this time. The
chances were soon taken, Bill reserving but one chance
to himself. He pocketed 500 dolls., and the sport
again commenced. Bill's original owner and himself
were the two highest again, and in throwing off' Bill
lost. It proved a very fortunate speculation for Bill
and his master both. The master had made 800 dolls.
clear, and Bill had cleared 500 dolls., and remained
with his kind master. They started for home together,
the master declaring that no money should induce
to
him to part with Bill again, unlesshe was willing
leave, but promised him, if he would be as faithful to
him as he had always been, until he was twenty-one
he should have his freedom. They were both well
one present /was satisfied that ha
had got his money's worth.—Louisville Journal.
