took a sheet of paper out of his pocket and said, "That is,
the -ize of it. I want yon to do me hAve,en 110 and 125
on it." IL asked the prisoner whether he wanted them
at the bottom of p tr:raits, and he sat 1, "Yes." Alter
agreeing upon the,priee, and that a itnes was to print
them himself, prisoner left a letter to be copied as a spe-
cimen. He called for it the next day, and said it was
very well done, and that be musteend it offby post, and
would let witness have an answer in about two days. On
the following Monday he called again, and produced
about 100 printed forms in blank, purporting to be
" vales," or government compensation bonds fcr the li-
beration of slaves in the republic of Peru Witness said,
" What are these things V to which he replied that they
were passports to South America, and witness then sail,
" Oh, I perfectly understand," and agreed to do the fan
similes. Prisoner then handed witness the 100 sheets.
He then produced four differentsignatures of thosenaines
(which wit,iess now produced), and explained to witness
how he wanted them done. He called on the f •Ilowing
day and said, " I shall want, instead of 125 names, at
least 1,500 names. Whtat would theprice be ?" On some
sheets there were to be two names and on some 5 names.
He told him it would be about 181., and he said, "Very
well, I will pay you that sum." Witness asked him
for his address, and he *al I he lived in the country.
Witness then asked him for , his name, but he would
not give it. He said to prisoner, " Will you give sue
a reference, sir ? ' and he said, " Oh, I shall
leave you a deposit.. How much will you require ?
Witness sail 51. or 61., but he said he would give him
only 41, and that was agree I to. He gave the 41.,
and then said, "Now you know all the particulars ;
when am Ito call again ?" He tAd him to call in the
morrow, hetween one and two o'clock. In the interval
thus afforded witness endeavoured t, find out the Peru-
vian a übassador or consul, but failed in doing so. He
then went to the Prussian ambassador, and was told
there was no Peruvian consul ; and on the Wednesday
evening he communicated with the detective officer Fun
nel. He explained everything to him, and then acted
according to his instructions. The witness proceeded to
detail the particulars of further interview's which he had
with the prisoner, who on various occasions brought ad-
ditional papers -of which he wished to obtain impres-
sions. Whenever prisoner left witness's shop he formed
excuses for returning, to see if there was any person in
it, but he never had anything to say beyond what wit-
ness had already stated. Prisoner
,catne cif-Friday and
remarked that the work was nearly' all done. He then
said, "Now I know, Mr. Deutsch, you are an honest
•Inan--have you no one whom you could place confidence
in to fill that up (pointing to certain blanks in the papers)?
Tdon't mind paying about 41. or 51. for it." Witness re-
" Well, I will do my best to find some one who
will do it." . Prisoner ,said, " I could do it myself, but
'my handwriting is too bad. That is my handwriting,"
he added,-,gliing him an envelope with the name of The-
hen written on it. Witness wrote his own name oil tie
envelope, and remarked that his handwriting was worse
than that. The prisoner then said he *wild have taken
some of -them with him if they had been filled up, and
witness "promised to give him an answer whether he
could-get them done by the next day. He told prison-r
to call about one o'clock on Saturday, and saw nothing
more of him, as he was taken into custody on Friday
night. WitnessAelivered all the papers and signatures
to the offiCer Funnel.
The prisoner said he should like to have legal advice
and the assistande. of an interpreter, as, although he
understood English, he did not understand it sufficiently
to conduct his defence.

Sir Ge )r.,* Carroll acc,riingly remanded him, and
gave orders that an interpreter should be sent to him
When tsken into custody the prisoner had on him
41. 4s. 10d. in money, ten 51. Bank of England notes, a
gold watch, and other: articles. It is expected that this
detection-has prevented an extensive aid organised sys-
tem of fraud on the I Peruvian Government, for those
bonds could be filled up for 20,000 or 30.000 dollars
each, and were negotiable in the interior of Poll.

LAMBETH.—Robert Hawkins, a constable belonging
to the P division of police, •ca 4 brought before the ma-
gistrate, by order of Six Richard Mayne, on a charge of
assaulting Mrs. Catherine Brooker, a married female.
The complainant' said she resided at .No. 29, Pitt-
street, Old -Kent-market. Her husband's business re-
quired him to go out very early in the morning, and the
defendant was in the habit of calling hitn. On Saturday
her husband got up at' about half past 4, and as he ex-
pected to return in a-short timP' and did not wish to
disturb her when he came back, be left the str-et-door
ajar. Shirtly after she was alarmed by finding defendant
in his uniform by her bedside, and oa asking tlim what
he wanted there, be sai4--"lt's all right, my dear, don't
make a noise ;" and, at the sane time, put his 4 hand on
her person. She-instantly jumped out of bed, and desired
hill to go about his butiti;ga-ask, pushed him from toe
bed-room into the passage. The defendant—attemptA
t, push his way in again; but she told him that if he did
not instantly go about his business, she should go to the
station-house, and repot: him there 2 • and be then left.
Oa the return of her husband she made him acquainted
with the defendant's conduct, and that led to the present
inquiry and charge.
Ar. Lund, defendant's superintendent, and Mr.
Worrell, his inspector, gave him an excellent character,
and both declared that be was the very last person in
the force who, they thought, would be guilty of impro-
priety of conduct.

Mr. Elliott observed that there could not be the
slightest doubt of the defendant's intention and gross
misconduct, and, to justify his baseness, he had resorted
to the mean subterfuge of assailing the., character of her
be had .so slomefully insulted. The sentence of the
Court-was that he pay a penalty of 31., and in default of
payment be ebm.mitted for one month's imprisonment.

TEINMgS —Mr. G.I F. Young, and Mr. Charles
Magnay, of the firm of Young, San, and Magnay, ship-
builder,,,Litnehou4e, attended the court. _ .

Mr. Young said that 'on Wednesday it was his pain-
ful duty to prosecute 13 shipwrights, against whom war-
rants had been granted for violating contracts entered
into by them at Southampton to enter into the service of
the firm. Two cases were gone into, and Mr. Selfe
being of opinion the men had knowingly and wilfully
broken the contracts entered into, after hearing solicitors
on the,r behalf, sentenced them to thretimonths' impri-
sonment and hard labour ; but on an urgent appeal from
the men, and on a promise that they would' fulfil their
contracts and go to work, and with the consent of him-
self and firm, who did not wish ti send working men to a
gaol, the magistrate consented to remit the punishment,
and the two men Were:discharged. The rest of the
ship wrights brnight up on warrants also made a promise
to observe the c'ntrans they had entered into, and go
to work, and they were all discharged. Seven of the 13
men had gone
.to work, and were then at work in the
yard ; but the other six, in violation of their solemn
promise, and disregarding the lenity shown them, had
n"t gone to work. It was therefore his duty to apply
for warants for the apprehension of the six men. He
went on to complain of the intimidation practised by the
Union t► prevent Workmen from the'outports entering
into the service of this firm.
Mr. Yardley said they were entitled to the protection
of the law. The warrants which were asked fur shuuld
he issued.
