The Sham Duke of St. Alban-.

On Tuesday Captain Philip De La Zouch Dash-
wood Arthy was brought up on remand at Truro,
charged with having obtained £4 16s. from Mr.
Samuel Wade, proprietor of the Royal Hotel, Truro.
Mr. Marrack appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Marshall for the defence.

Mrs. Mary Ann Wade said she was the wife of
Mr. Wade, proprietor of the Royal Hotel. In the
month of December last the prisoner arrived at her
hotel under the name of Captain Dashwood. She
could not remember the date of his arrival, but it
was in the early part of December, about the 7th.
He continued to reside there until the 3d of January,
when he left. Previous to leaving he said he in-
tended to proceed to Falmouth. He maid he was
going thither to attend a ball. He hired a carriage
and pair of horses to take him to the ball. During
his stay he said he expected to receive some money
in January. had a conversation with him respect-
ing the bill: He applied to have money advanced
to him, as he required cash for his own purposes.
She advanced him the sum of £4 16s. on the faith
of the cheque produced. He had previously shown
her a letter purporting to be written by Mr. Ho-
combe, solicitor, Bedford-row, London, stating that
he should receive £225 odd to his credit on the sth
of January, on account of dividends, and that if he
wished
pleasure
Wdrag prior to that date he should feel
much in honouring his cheque. She should
not have advanced the money if she had not seen
the letter, and received
prisoner's assurance of pay-
ment. Prisoner left during the afternoon of the 3d
January for Falmouth, but did not return. Did
not see him again until yesterday. His bill was
£4O 12s. 9d. He gave her a cheque for £5O, and
she replied that less than the balance would serve
for his short visit to Falmouth, and he was content
to take £4 16s.

Sand. Wade, jun., said he was son of the proprietor
of the hotel, and assisted his father. He took
the cheque produced from his mother to the bankers.
It came back marked " Not acquainted with the
drawer," from London, and also marked " No ac-
count stated ;or what account drawn ?" Never re-
ceived the money for the cheque.
The cheque was worded as follows :---" To Jas.
B. Hocombe, Esq., solicitor, 13, Bedford-row, Lon-
don. Truro, Jan. 3,1866.—Pay Mr. Samuel Wade,
on order, £5O for value received. P. De La Zouch
Dashwood. Payable at Coutts's Bank, 59, Strand."
The cheque was paid into Messrs. Williams and
Co.'s bank, Truro.

The prisoner's counsel urged that, as his client was
suffering from illness, the case should be completed
at once, or with a very short remand. The magis-
trate ordered the further hearing to take place on
Friday.

The court, which was crowded by nearly a thou-
sand persons, was then cleared with difficulty by the
police.
