A QUEER SOLICITOR.—Joseph Constant Solomon, a
tall dirty-looking man, who described himself as a solici-
tor, of 56, Cranbourn-street, Leicester•square, was
brought before Mr. Beadon, on a warrant, charged with
using abusive and threatening language towards Mr.
Taylor Roberts, solicitor, 18, St. Martin's-court.
Mr. Roberts stated that on Wednesday, the 27th of
August last, he left his office with the intention of going
to the County Court, and when be arrived at the clr-
ner of the narrow part of Saint Martin's-court
he came in contaot with the defendant, who
struck him on the shoulder, and said, " Well,
Robert, I'd forgive you for beating me in that cause the
other day, but I'll be one with you yet." Witness
cautioned him as to what he was at out, and tried to pass
on. The prisoner persisted in following him, and re-
peatedly called out to hi nto go anid pay his debts. A
large crowd then collected, and it was with the gr atest
difficulty he got away from the prisoner, against whom
be took out a summons to answer for his conduct at this
court. Defendant, however, never attended to the
summons, and a warrant was granted, and on Saturday
night he was apprehended while in a beastly state of
intoxication. Defendant bad formerly been a
oertificated solicitor, but at preseitt he was not, and
from his habits had latterly become a disgrAce to the
profession to which he persisted he lint belonged.
Defendant most humbly apologised for his donduct
towards the complaisant, and promised if be way for-
given this once he would not repeat the offence.

Mr. Beadon fined the defendant 2ik and °Alto.

Mr. Roberts said he did not wish for so severe a sen-
tence, and would be satisfied with the prisoner entering
into his own reeogni%ance to keep the peace.

Mr. Beadon then ordered the defendant to pay 4,.,
the cost of the warrant.

Mr. Roberta tho monoY, and the defendant
gave him an I 0 U for the amount.

P.DVERTISEIIENT.]
To the Editor of the Sun.

SIR,--I pointed out last week the folly of the par,lt, in
Government securities. Speculators are now talking of
the probability of the Bank of England raising the rate
of discount, which it decidedly will not do, for these
reasons :
Money is plentiful at the present rate.
Trade is sound, without speewatio„.
The quarter's revenue will show a large increase.
The last of the loans has been fully paid up without
difficulty.
The public deposits., the private deposit, and tLe
reserve of notes, have all increased considerably.
