THE RUSSIAN BANK FRAUDS.

...
Vincent Jankowski,_._ 38, a Pole, was charged with un-
lawfully conspiring with Phineas Koche, feloniously and
without having lawful authority, to engrave upon certain
metal plates parts of divers undertakings for the payment
of money to wit, 25 roubles of the empire of Russia. The
prisoner was further charged with having in his possession
46 forged notes of the Imperial Bank of Russia for 25
roubles each.

The evidence produced was to the effect that the pri-
soner was supposed to be connected with the persons who
were tried and convicted of the same offence some short

time ago. He, however, said he had come into possession
of the notes in an honest manner during the Polish rebel-
lion, and the circumstance that led to his apprehension was
his endeavouring to sell the notes for a price much below
the value they represented.
The prisoner was found not guilty.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Lush.)
THE CASE OF THE EARL OF SHAFTESBURY'S STEWARD.'
_1

Upon his lordship taking his seat in this Court, Mr.
Cole made application, upon the part of Earl Shaftesbury,
that the charge preferred by the noble earl against his
steward, Mr. Waters, for embezzlement, might stand over
until the November sessions, as there was certain pro-
ceedings now pending which rendered it advisable the
case should be postponed.
Mr. F. H. Lewis, for the defendant Waters, did not
oppose the application, as the proceedings in Chancery as
far as they had now gone were in Waters' favour, but
trusted that he would be let out on his bail.
_ _ _

His lordship said he did not see any necessity for alter-
ing the bail, and directed that the case should stand over
until November, and that the bail of £4,000 should re-
main, the defendant himself in £2,C00, and two sureties
in £2,000.
Joseph Ward, a bargeman, was indicted for feloniously
shooting a lad named Joseph Lefley, with intent to do him
grievous bodily harm.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner on the
evening in question was quarrelling with some persons
when the boy made some observation from the canal bridge
at Lock-road, Paddington, and the prisoner being highly

incensed at the conduct of the boy went and armed
by which he has lost his sight.
The learned Judge, in summing up the case, said the
question for the jury was whether the prisoner intention-
ally fired the gun with intent to injure the boy or merely
frighten him.
The jury found the prisoner guilty.
The learned Judge said it was much to be regretted that
a person of good character should so let his passion get
the better of his judgment, and then inflict the grievous
injury he had inflicted upon the poor boy. He thought it
was a very savage act, and for which provocation was no
excuse. He should not be doing his duty in sentencing
the prisoner to a less punishment than seven years' penal
servitude.
