Mr. Henry Holman Smith, clerk in the issue
department of the Bank of England, said he gave
gold for the two £3OO notes in question, on the
afternoon of the 15th inst., to a person very much
like the prisoner, but to whose identity he could
not swear. The bank-book showed that on the
same afternoon the' £l,OOO note was changed for
five £lOO notes, all dated the sth June, 1858, Nos.

him to Vine-street station house. He was searched,
and £lB 152. in money was found on him.

police, said on the 17th of April he searched the
bedroom at 26, Alfred-street, Tottenham-court.road,
and found a -pocket book concealed under -the carpet

prisoner he had that day received from Barker and
Co., and they were the proceeds of two bills of ex-
change for .£l,OOO each, drawn by the prisoner on
Stephen Reggio, and made payable to, the order of
the drawer and endorsed by him to witness. On
the 26th.of-March the prisoner drew two bills for
£256 14s. and £470 respectively; but those bills
were cancelled, not because they could not be
discounted, but because the person who held them
had other transactions with him, and on his giving

BOW-STREET.—Stanley Charles Selwell and
Wm. Samuel Selwell, whose examination at this
court on Tuesday, the 19th inst., was reported in
The Sun of Wednesday (this day week), and Jas.
Wynne, who had been apprehended subsequently,
were brought up on remand before Mr. Jardine,
charged with having committed a murderous as-
sault on Mr. Dear, picture dealer, 49, Essex-street,
Strand, and stolen a cashbox containing £1 ss. 6d.
Mr. Dear was now in attendance, having insisted
on being brought to the court against the advice of
his medical attendant, Mr. Digby, of Fleet-street.
He was carried into the court in a chair, being in
so infirm a state that he could not.without assistance,
stand up, or even alter his position in the chair. He
trembled violently, and appeared so extremely
feeble and helpless as to excite the commiseration
of the spectators. He, however, gave his evidence
in a clear, firm tone of voice, and seemed to under-
stand perfectly well all that took place around him.
Mr. Dear repeated the statement which he had
made to Mr. Emmerson on the day of the occur-
! rence, and identified Wynne as the boy introduced
by Stanley Selwell as a candidate for employment
in his place. After telling Wynne that he would
not suit, he (Mr. Dear) said he might call again the
next day if he liked. At that moment Stanley
rushed to the cupboard, forced it open, took out the
cashbox, and made off with it. At the same moment
Wynne struck him a violent blow with some instru-
ment. He saw the instrument in Wynne's hand ;
it was something black. Wynne struck him a second
time in the face, but not with the instrument, which
he had dropped over and behind witness's head.
The next thing he recollected was finding himself
on the floor in the shop, some distance from the
sofa in the parlour, in which he was sitting when
the outrage was committed. He must have moved
himself by a very violent effort, for at another time
he would have been utterly unable to rise from his
seat without aid. Previous to the introduction of
Wynne, Stanley Selwell had been cutting some
deal backboards for pictures into ovals, under the
direction of witness, who was sitting in the shop.
Stanley was very inattentive, looking out of win-
dow apparently in search of some person who was
whistling in the street. Witness cautioned him to
attend to what he was doing, or he would either
cut himself or split the boards, and he did split
one of them. At this period William Selwell passed
down the street, but witness could not say whether
it was he who was whistling. Witness told Stan-
ley that " only dogs come to a whistle." After this
Stanley made an excuse to go out, and during his
absence the servant girl helped witness into the
parlour and placed him on the sofa, where he was
sitting when Wynne and Stanley came in.
Anne Turner, the servant, stated that, hearing
her master cry out " Murder," she entered the par-
lour and found him bleeding, and Wynne standing
near him. She then gave an alarm, which led to
the apprehension of Stanley and William Selwell,
but Wynne got away. She afterwards found be-
hind the sofa, where her master was sitting, a steel
chisel, now produced. [lt was a mason's Chisel,
such as is used to cut inscriptions on stone, consist-
ing entirely of steel, about seven inches long, and
of considerable thickness.]
Mr. Edward Digby, surgeon, of Fleet-street, said
the wound was a lacerated wound, jagged, and in the
shape of a " T." It was such a wound as the chisel

would produce. It was a serious wound, and Mr.
Dear had been in considerable danger from it.
Even now,he did not think the congestion was
entirely cured. Ile had strongly opposed Mr.
Dear's coming to the court to be examined, but
Mr. Dear insisted, and said he should be better
when the excitement was over. Mr. Dear's lace
was also bruised.

Mr. Collar, an ironmonger in Wych-street, stated
that when Stanley was in custody of the
young man Scudmore, William Selwell was edging
up to him, and apparently trying to get something him. Witness turned William away: --Stan-
ley had the cashbox under his: arm.. Afterwards
William was very busy among.eddie)eYs "Allowly'd
got into Mr,-Dear's passage, and witness, after
turning:them out,. Called the attenti4l4"Of the police
to him, and he was taken into custotly.
Mary Anne Homan, the wife of a dairyman in
Middle Serle's-place, Temple-bar, deposed . that
Wynne lodged with her, and had for some time had
in.his possession-a chisel similar to that produced.
William Selviell used constantly-to call on him.
The last time he called was the day before the out-
rage. Wynne took the chisel -Wapiti' on Tuesday
morning.
Inspector M'Kenzie. apprehended Wynne on
Wednesday at the House of Detention, where he
had called to see the Selwelle. He said he "only
gave the old man one blow of the chisel." He
also inquired why the police had taken "Samivel,"
Who was ,not there -at -the time, though, he .added,
" he gave some advice about- it.'"
Sergeant King, F 6, eorroboratecl.—Wynne also
said " that he did not mean to hurt. the old man,
only. to stun him; but the chisel slipped out

Acting Manager—Mr. Wm. Smith.

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.
ENTLEMEN,—On the announcement of Mr.
Wigram's resignation of the representation of the
University of Cambridge being made public, I was invited by
a numerous requisition of influential Sternberg of the Senate
to offer myself for the vacant seat. Reg,arding this invitation
• - 118 a re-Cognition that my public life hitherto has been such as
*0 earn the confidence of the requisitionists, I did not hesitate
• to place myself in their hands as candidate for a distinction
- which may reasonably be considered as a due acknowledgment
of past services.
After a careful canvass of the Electors, and acting by the
advice of my Committees, I proposed to my opponent, Mr.
Selwyn, that we should submit our promise-books to the
arbitration of Mr. Walpole, in order to spare the University
the inconvenience of a prolonged contest. Mr. Selwyn con-
'tenting, the reference took place, and Mr. Walpole has advised
ate not to proceed to-the roil, although the numbers and he
character of the promises which I have received are such as
to make me glad that I entered upon this contest, rather than
secured any other less distinguished seat.
I therefore bow to this recommendation, and I retire into
privacy. If, however, the day shall come when Cambridge
needs a representative who will honestly, sedulously, and in-
dependently watch over the interests of religion and learning
AS connected with the University, as the chief occupaton of his
public life, and the highest object of his personal ambition, I
am ready at the call. With the expression of the warmest
.their
to those Members of the Senate who have reposed
confidence in me, and with a full expectation that I may
hureafter conciliate still greater support,
I am Gentlemen,
With great respect,
Your faithful and obedient servant,
