Harvey, and took him in. elttodyeat the New York
post-office, just as he was receiving a letter from
England, addressed Richard Harvey, post-Office,
New York, to be left -until called for. With the
assistance of the sheriff of New York Huggett ob-
tained from the prisoner £377, £l5O of which was
halves of the Bank of England notes. Upon being
asked abOut his books, he said he left them with a
Mr. White, an accountant of. Whitecross-street.

Huggett not having the power to bring the pri-
soner home then returned, and upon inquiry no
such person as White an accountant could be found.
The prisoner was not again heard of until Septem-
ber, when he was taken into custody in London, he
having returned to this country under as opinion
that after giving up the money in New York, and
having obtained from a Mr. Edwards, a counsellor
of New York, a release from his creditors, he would
be free.

Mr. Giffard at some length argued that the pro-
secution had failed to prove that the notice for the
bankrupt to surrender had been sufficiently served
upon him to meet the provisions of the law under
which the indictment was framed.
His Lordship decided that it was enough for the
prosecution to show, as they had, that the notice of
bankruptcy had been posted upon-the prisoner's
shop and the summons left there.
Mr. Giffard having briefly addressed the jury,
they returned a verdict otguilty.
Mr. Giffard, in mitigation of punishinent, urged
that the prisoner had given up the money in New
York, and returned to this country under the im-
pression that he would be free.
His Lordship said the Court had nothing to do
with that, no doubt they made any promise to get
the money back.
The prisoner said that be gave up every farthing
and came home to surrender, not knowing how far
he was wrong.
His Lordship, in passing sentence, said that there
could be no doubt but that the prisoner knew he
was acting wrong, and did not give back the money
from any decent feeling, but to obtain good terms
from his creditors. He saw nothing to cause him
to take a favourable view of prisoner's conduct.
The prisoner would not be punished for the sake of
the creditors but as an example to deter others.
He was then sentenced to six years' penal servi-
tude.

Lewis Zucker, 35, jeweller, was indicted for mak-
ing false entries in his books, and unlawfully giving
false evidence before a commissioner of bankruptcy..
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Poland prosecuted, and Mr.
Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. Giffard, and Mr. F. H.
Lewis defended. _ _

The facts of this case, although occupying the
Court some time, lay in a very narrow compass.
The prisoner had been since 1855 in a small way of
business as a jeweller, in Oxford-street, In April
of the present year he suddenly appeared to be
doing a very extensive trade, his credit with those
who supplied him amounting in that anc the two
following months to nearly as much as in the three
preceding years. In July last he stated that while
id his shop some one had come in and stolen his
cash-box, and that it contained a large sum, he
having, in addition to the amount he usually kept
in it, taken £l3O out of the Union Bank. He
called a meeting of his creditors, and offered a com-
position of 10s. in the pound, which was refused,
and the prisoner was made a bankrupt. When
before the Commissioner he was examined about
the transaction of the robbery, in which he per-
sisted, and produced his book, which contained
entries of sale, day by day, dating from 1855, but
there were no. names of the parties to whom goods
had been sold. He swore most positively that the
entries had been made from day to day, and that
the book had beenin his possession from 1855 down
to July, when the robbery took place. Some of
the entries bearing evidence of erasures and altera-
tions,the book was more closely examined, When it
was found that the paper of which the book was
made had itself only come from the manufac-
turers last year, and was sold in August, 1857, by
Messrs. Shaw and Sons, of Fetter-lane, a circum-
stance which was 'proved beyond all doubt.
The jury found the prisoner guilty.
The Court sentenced him to six years' penal
servitude.
