MANSION-HOUSE.--Mr. Richard Tredinnick,
late manager of the Carnewas Mine Company at
Gresham-house, Old Broad-street, appeared in an

sorer to a summons at the instance Of Mr. Arthur
R. Oliver, which charged him with having, in his
capacity of manager of the company, "unlawfully
made, circulated, and published a certain written
statement and account of and relating to the trans
actions of the said company, well knowing the
same to be false in certain material particulars con-
tained therein, with intent then and there to de-
ceive and defraud the said Arthur Robert Oliver."
The summons was taken out under the Fraudu-
lent Trustee Act, the 20th and 21st of Vie., cap.
54, sec. 8, which says, "If any director, manager,

to be false in any material particular, with intent
to deceive or defraud any member, shareholder, or
creditor of such bxly corporate or public company,
or with intent to induce any person to become a
shareholde/ or partner therein, or to intrust or ai-
vance any money or property to such b)dy corpo-
rate or public company, or to enter into any secu-
rity for the benefit thereof, he shell be guilty of a
misdemeanour."

Mr. Poland, the barrister, appeared in support
of the prosecution ; Mr. Humphreys, jun., for the
defendant. Mr. A. Turner attended to watch
the proceedings on behalf of the assignees to the
defendant's estate ; and Mr. Lewis for a similar
purpose on the part of several shareholders of the
Carnewas Company.
The defendant pleaded not guilty.
Mr. IJewis—l appear for several shareholders,
and, although lam no immediate party to the
summons, it is only fair that I should state to the
complainant that, in the event of any charge being
substantiated against the defendant, I shall ask
you to place the complainant at his side, as it wai
upon the statement of accounts as vouched by him,
as one of the auditors, that those shareholders were
induced to make certain payments. I attend on
the part of Mr. Vickers, Mr. Hayward, and other
shareholders.
Mr. A. R. Oliver, the prosecutor, said,—I am a
gentleman of independent means, residing at 1,
Canterbury-road, Croydon. I hold 400 shares in
the Carnewas Mine, and have been a shareholder
since June, 1856. I bought them on account of
the defendant's representations. I cannot now re
member the exact conversation that occurred be-
tween us. I purchased 500 shares at 7s. 6d. each.
I called upon him in consequence of a circular I
r:ce4ieved from him. He was the manager and
