Price ls. lid. and 2s. 9d. per box.
This preparation is one of the benefits which the science of
modern chemistry has conferred upon mankind ; for, during
the first twenty years of the present century to speak of a
cure for the Gout was considered a romance; but now the
efficacy and safety of this medicine is so fully demonstrated,
by unsolicited testimonials from persons in every rank of life,
that public opinion proclaims this as one of the most im-
portant discoveries of the present age.
These Pills require no restraint of diet or confinement
during their use, and are certain to prevent the disease
attacking any vital part.
Sold by all medicine vendors. Observe " Thomas Prout,

other bills these wero given up and earluegitl:4'4l7.:*:4=of
bills that the prisoner had drawn on wancse:
count amounted to £11,913 10s. 4d. They;luid.been -
accepted by different firms, payable to his order,
the same as the others. He made use of them and
got them discounted. The £1 per week was not a
consideration for accepting bills to the amount of
£ll,OOO. His nominal salary was £1 per week, but
he used to get twice as much. He used to mako
prisoner allowances and find him almost all his
cl6a.s. There were no other bills drawn by the
• witness's accommodation than those he
= but those for other people's accommo-
cation were no business of his. The prisoner had
not put his name to upwards of £lOO,OOO of bills
for witness. All he had done was in the bill book,
and amounted to abont £15,000. He had intended
to send the prisoner out to Constantinople, and, in
anticipation of doing so, had induced him to sign
blank bills, as though there was a house at that
place. He requested the prisoner to sign them,
and he had discounted several of them here.
The bills were printed on blue paper at first,
but he afterwards changed the colour. One colour
did not represent one country and one another.
He contemplated setting the prisoner up in busi-
ness, either at Hull or Newcastle, or some other
place in England, but he had not decided which.
In November, 1858, he contemplated sending him
to Constantinople, and the two bills produced, one
for £l,OOO and one for £750, purported to be drawn
by a house there on his house in London. He never
told the prisoner to draw bills from Hull on his
account, and he was not aware he had done so. He
could swear he never endorsed bills drawn by the
prisoner and dated from Hull, nor had he accepted
them. The only person he knew by the name of
%Volf was the prisoner, He had never had any
bills drawn in the name of Wolf from Hull. He
might have had in his hands bills dated from Hull
in the name of Wolf, but not on his own account.
He had seen only one bill, and that was never used.
The prisoner was now under liabilities for witness
and his connections, at his request, to the amount
of about £lOO,OOO. There were very few bills
running now on witness's account, and they all re-
presented goods which were in the hands of parties
who had made him the advances.
Mr. Wontner then made a speech in defence of
his client, contending. that he was a partner, and
that it never could be supposed that he would take
upon himself liabilities to that enormous amount if
it were not that he was to share the profits if their
speculations were successful.

The prisoner, having been cautioned in the usual
way, said he should leave his case in the hands of
his solicitor. He was then committed for trial.
Mr. Sleigh said he wished to state that Messrs.
Barker took only 5 per cent. discount on these bills,
and the other gentlemen for whom he appeared
gave goods for all the bills they had taken from the
prosecutor.

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 violenfeffort, for at another time
he would have been utterly unable to rise from his
scat 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 hint 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 tha 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 D.gby, 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. He 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 face
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
from him. Witness turned William away. Stan-
ley had the cashbox under his arm. Afterwards
William was very busy among some boys who had
got into Mr. Dear's passage, and witness, after
turning them out, called the attention of the police
to him, and he was taken into custody.
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 Selwell used constantly to call on him.
The last time he called was the day before the out-
mraogrne.ingW. ynne took the chisel w Tuesday
_

Inspector M'Kenzie apprehended Wynne on
Wednesday at the House of Detention, where he
had called to see the Selwells. 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, corroborated. Wynne also
said "that he did not mean to hurt the old man,
only to stun him; but the chisel slipped out of his
hand." Witness said, " You must have struck him
more than once, as his face is marked." He re-
plied, " Oh, that was holding my hands over his
mouth to stop him from calling out." He stated
that he picked the chisel up about six months ago
on Tower-hill.
It was stated there was another charge against
Wynne for forgery, but it was out of the district.
Mr. Jardine—This is very much like the case in
Parliament-street. Wynne says he only meant to
stun Mr. Dear, but if he had done something more
he would have been ha
Wynne pleaded guilty, and said Samuel had
nothing to do with it " at the time."

DUBLIN A
STOCK .CCIIANGE, APRIL 25.—The
intelligence
received since the last official meeting of the
Stock Exchange in London having tended to extinguish
every hope of peace, Consols have given way there from
Xlf to Sli per cent. Here, however, the decline is not to
the same extent, Xlf to 1.8. per cent, being the extreme
reduction ; prices, however, are wonderfully firm under
the circumstances. In the market for all other securities
the transactions may be reported as altogether nominal,
the actual business done being of an exceedingly limited
character. A feeling of sympathy with the decline in the
Government funds has manifested itself, and almost all
securities quoted, as well as many in which there have not
been any dealings, are offered for sale.
