COAST RAILWAY.

HALF-YEARLY MEETING (THIS DAY).
This afternoon the ordinary balf•yearly meeting of
this company was held at the Bridge-house, Hotel,
London•bridge,. Mr. Leo Schuster, Chairman of the
Board of Directors in the chair.

The report, and the statement of the accounts, which
have been already published, were taken as read.

The CHAIRMAN said that, looking to the report, he
found he was able to congratulate the meeting on the
satisfactory state of the company's affairs, and said the
first subject in the report was the capital amount. A.
very small sum remained at the disposal of the directors,
and it was hardly necessary that the shareholders should
be reminded of the fact that with an advancing business

the requirements for it must increase. A railway, like
every other business, when it increased its traffic, in.
volved heavy expenses. The directors saw that the
time was fast approaching when they would have
to ask the shareholders for their sanction to increase
the capital account, or, if not, the revenue must
be devoted to defray the expenses that ought
to come out of capital. The directors, in about
twelve months would submit the question to the share-
holders. With regard to the expenditure of the line, it
had increased in consequence of a rise in everything they
required, and, in fact, everything connected with rail-
ways had risen, except rates and fares ; and he could
not hold out any hope there would be any diminution
in this respect in favour of the company, but rather that
prices would enhance every article exchangeable for
gold. The Government dealt very unjustly with rail-
ways, and he instanced the fact of the railways being
rated to the poor, and highway rates, on the profits, and
n,-)t on the rent of their premises, as with tradesmen.
In alluding to the recent frauds on the Great Northern
Railway, the chairman said, he had the satisfaction in
informing them that the Directors, at the request of the
officials, had examined the stock accounts and found
everything correct, andhad introduced checks upon the
accounts which would prevent frauds for the future, and
every transfer was examined and signed by the
directors. After referring to the increased traffic on
the line, and also of the dividends paid, the chairman
referred to the new schemes before Parliament in con-
nection with this line, and concluded by moving the
reception and adoption of the report.
Mr. SCOTT (director) seconded the motion.

A SHAREHOLDER moved the omission of the paragraph
from the report authorising the leasing of 21t miles of
extension, at a rental of 6,48 A/. per annum, but no
shareholder seconded the amendment.

A conversation then ensued as to the branches being
remunerative, and

The CHAIRMAN said that they were.
The report was ultimately adopted, and a dividend at
,he rate of 6 per cent, on the year was agreed to.

A TRIP ACROSS THE ISTHMUS OE

PANAMA.

The following extract from a letter has been re-
ceived from an officer on board her Majesty's ship
—, North American station :
" Dec. 5, Navy Bay, Panama Railway Station.
" Since you heard from me last I have been
across the Isthmus of Panama, and a very pleasant
trip it is, although there is not much to interest
one in Panama itself, further than that it is the
remains of a fine old Spanish town. The railroad
is in itself one of the greatest triumphs of art
over nature that one can possibly imagine. The
actual distance across is about 33 miles, but
the line occupies about 46 miles, and runs
through land that appears to have been a
successful barrier between the two oceans—one
dense forest from first to last, inundated with con-
tinual swamps, which at first were thought to be
impossible to be got the better of. What will not
human invention and Yankee go-a-headism get
through. Tt,ey commenced on thisside, and worked
away inch by inch, driving pile upon pile, earth
upon earth, felling trees as they went, and dying
literally by thousands from the effects of the miasma
arising from the pestiferous forest. The first seven
miles is an entirely made road over swamps and
other bad foundations ; the amount of human
life expended you would hardly believe. They
engaged soree 2,000 Chinese emigrants, and in about
six weeks few remained ; but still on went the
work until it has succeeded. It was begun, I
think, in 1850, and has been running about twelve
months. Everything is roughly made, as you may
imagine, but it answers very well. As I told you,
by the kind permission of the company, we had the
trip gratis, and started at eight o'clock in the morn-
ing,—a large and select party of us, about 13 in
number,—and one of the company kindly accom-
panying us. The carriages are large and airy, with
no compartments, but cane-bottomed seats running
the whole length of the carriage, which opens at
both ends, and holds about sixty passengers, so
that you can walk from one end to the other if
so disposed. Well, off we went, in two first-class
carriages ; but the bustling, coo], and not over-easy
truck, soon made us feel at home. Just fancy
yourself rushing through such a country (hardly
meant for man, much less for railroad progress),
one coutinuous succession of verdure ; tree upon
tree, plant upon plant, and each densely inter-
mingled with each other, and where there may be
a gap it is instantly filled by creepers, which would
be highly prized in England. The effect of this
line alone has improved immensely the health and
appearance of the whole vicinity, for you can 'as! y
imagine a free current of air, like a funnel,including
rushing
through from eceau to ocean ; besides

decent hotel, and, after a bath, we took a stroll.
I had been there before, but found it still the same
—dirty and Spanish. A dilapidated Spanish town
I• the dirtiest and most unseemly spot imaginable.
We visited all that was to be seen, and returned
determined to make the best of it, and leave by
the eight o'clock train in the morning. I was not
quite content with the rail, but with my friend
started two days alter on what is called a
hand-car ;it is worked by hand with two men—
something like a velocipede, and goes at about 10
miles an hour. Having secured the friendship of
the director, my friend and self had no difficulty in
getting anything in this way we wanted, and
off we started again ; but being late, we were
warned of the danger of being run over, but
not being blind we did not feel much alarm.
There is but one lino. We ran up seven miles
in this way in the little car, so we had plenty
of time to observe the beauty and extraordinary
features of the country. My chief object in this
excursion was to try and get some seeds and roots
for the terrace hothouse, but it being the wrong
time of year I have only succeeded in getting a
few roots. On our meeting the train we both

ALGERIAN RAILWAYS.—There has been of late some
idea of starting a company for establishing a central
railway in Algeira, to connect Oran with Constantine,
following the line of the Tell, with a length of 1,000
kilometres (G 25 mileH), and from which secondary lines
would braech off to the various ports of the Medi-
terranean.
THE NEW DOCKS AT MARSEILLES.—The French Go-
vernment engineers have just decided on the definitive
plans for the docks of Marseilles, conceded to M.Talebot,
and which are about to be established between the port
of La Joliette and Pert Napoleon. The engineers fix
at about 100,000 metres the additional space required
for the new docks, the service of the me:,sageries, and
the maritime ctation of the Mediterranean railway.

No wounds are so sore and so slow to heal as
'"-those which any military miscarriage inflicts on
the pride of a people. The English nation has cer-
tainly as little to complain of in this respect as any
of its neighbours. In spite of incompetence, fa-
vouritism, and a defective military system, it has
managed, by means of courage, perseverance, and
profuse expenditure, to fight, and, in the end, beat
its enemies in every part of the world. But per-
haps for this very reason the country is the more
restless under the consciousness of not having done
its best on any particular occasion. People do not
seem to forget the Crimean campaign. Neither
Neuchatel, nor Bushire, nor Canton, nor the in-
come tax, nor grievances present, nor reforms to
come, can abate the interest with which the pub-
lic receives any details concerning the glories and
disasters of the great expedition. We ourselves
should be willing to leave the whole affair to his-
tory. The duty of the journalist is to record the
occurrences of the day, to pronounce an opinion on
them, and to extract from them lessons for imme-
diate use. When other events supervene and
other phases in the nation's affairs arrive he may
well abandon the discussion of themes that be-
long to the past, even though there should re-
main a party still interested in refuting all he
has advanced. We should therefore be content
to leave unnoticed the endeavours of any
noisy clique to alter the public judgment about
'the war, were it not that many of the changes
which the breakdown of 1854 showed to
be necessary leave yet to be realised. The in-
quiry into the purchase system still remains an
inquiry, military education still exists only a vague
purpose, which the inattention of the public may
permit to dissolve, and there is no guarantee that
ra few years may notbring back the whole organisa-
tion of the army to what it was at Gallipoli and in
Bulgaria. We cannot, therefore, but be glad that
"on the eve of a session in which so much is to be
done the public should have so complete an expo-
sure of the injustice and bad faith of the military
authorities as given in Sir John M'Neill's answer
'to the address from Liverpool. Let any impartial
person consider the manner in which these two
gentlemen—Sir John M'Neill and Col. Tulloch—
have been treated, and he will have no difficulty in
forming an opinion on the merits of the men to
whom the military credit of the country was con-
fided, the working of the system they established,
and the notions of fairness and chivalrous dealing
which they contracted during their service. The
correspondence shall tell its own story. It is no
longer the irresponsible newspaper or the indepen-
dent member of Parliament that speaks, but the
Commissioners themselves, the men who were in-
trusted with an important, and, as it is proved, a
dangerous inquiry, who discharged it honestly,
and who now come forward and boldly charge the
Government with conduct to the last degree
cowardly and dishonest.
A few weeks since some of the chief persons
connected with the town of Liverpool, including in
their number men of all parties, the mayor, the
borough members, the chairmen of the principal
associations of the town, and three-fourths of the
magistracy, determined to express their approval
of the services of the Crimean Commissioners, and
their thanks for the manner in which those gentle-
men had exposed the gross mismanagement of the
war. It is needless to say that the treatment of
Colonel Tulloch in the presence and by the con-
nivance of the Chelsea Board, the attack on the
report by Mr. Peel, and the grudging acknow
lodgment of the Commissioners' service extorted
from the superior personages of the Administration,
concurred to produce from this independent com-
mercial community its expression of opinion. Sir
John M'Neill, in his reply to the Secretary, Mr.
Ewart, gives vent to the indignant feelings which
the sorry requital of his services has roused. "I
may be permitted to add," ho says, in allusion to
the address, " i hat its value is enhanced by its
being the only public document I possess which
contains an acknowledgment that any service wnat-
ever was rendered by the Commission." Tile pro-
ceedings of the Government, he says, in another
place, " appear to have produced a very general.
impression that the acknowledged fidelity of our
eport was not in accordance with their wishes, and
the feeling thus produced must affect the disposition
of the country to intrust to the Executive any
inquiries connected with the army which may
hereafter be called for." On the desire of the
War Department to " discredit the Commissioners
and neutralise their report," on the subsequent
conduct of the Government, as indicating a
similar disposition, and on the tardiness of Lord
Panmure, who, 12 months after the issue of the
report, gave a .:old approval of it in an incidental
speech at Arbroath, Sir J. e\l'Neill remarks in calm
but decided language, As to the Chelsea Board,
he pronounces au opinion fully in accordance with
the sentiments of all who watched the proceedings
of that unscrupulous tribunal. "Of the report of
the Board I need only say that I consider it a
suitable result of the proceedings which led to it,
and which are not ca.lculatei, I fear, to impress
the people of this country with profound admira-
tion of the taste, the feeling, or the spirit in which
they were carried on." In conclusion, the senior
Commissioner reiterates his charge of negligence
and incapacity. The resources of this country, of
the neighbouring Turkish provinces, large fleets of
transports, a number of ocean steamships, and un-
bounded supplies of money were at the command
of the British Commander and his subordinates.
N o part of the army was distant more than seven
miles from a secure harbour, and a considerable
part was encamped within a mile or two of the
port. " Yet the country is expected to believe
that it was impossible, by any exercise of talents,
energy, or foresight, to provide either sufficient
food or sufficient clothing for 2.0,000 or 30,000
men." Such is the deliberate reply of Sir John
M‘Neill to an address from the first commercial
community in the kingdom.
Colonel Tulloch is, by his military position, de-
barred from so bold an avowal of his sentiments :
but he does not hesitate to complain of the Cdelsea
Board, and to reiterate the truth of all to which
he set his hand. We may further remark that in
a work just published the colonel proves from sta-
tistical returns the excessive and preventible mor-
tality in the army. " Even that of Walcheren,"
he observes, " did not exceed a fourth part of the
"average here recorded." In short the two Com-
missioners seem at length to have determined that
the neglect and injustice with which they have
been treated shall not lemain without a protest.
They have seen, and the public have seen too, their
honesty questioned, their motives impugned, their
right to common courtesy denied by the insolent
and vindictive class which had j.nst lowered the
zeputation of England to a point dangerous not
only to the honour but to the safety of the State.
They have been subjected to the flippant attacks
of a subordinate of the Government and the un-
generous silence of the statesmen who sent them
on their thankless mission. The time has now
come when it is necessary for their own repu-
tation that they should protest against these inju-
ries. It is no secret that the worst military set
has received encouragement from the treatment of
the Commissioners, and that the conduct of the
Government has caused every officer engaged in
any pending inquiry to believe that he will best
consult his own interests by a report in accord-
ance with the preconceived notions of his eupe-
riots-- If Sir John M'Neill and Colonel Tulloch
succumb they are lost men. An organised
body, intent on misrepresentation, has consi-
derable advantages even over such great insti-
tutions as a free Parliament and a free press. We
already find with what boldness a certain class is
presuming on the forgetfulness of the public, and
endeavouring to build u the shattered reputation
of the chief officers i oCrimea.

a duly constituted tribunal,-
that the judgment had been confirmed by the Go I
vernment which employed them, and that they had.
acknowledged by their silence the justice of the de-
cision. But now we trust the matter will be again
discussed in a larger and more equitable court.
When Parliament meets some member can scarcely
fail to notice the charge brought against the autho-
rities by a man in the high position of Sir J.
M'Neill. Either the Chelsea Board is right, and
the Government may fairly state their disapproba-
tion of the Commissioners' Report, or the Commis-
sioners have been most scandalously wronged, and
the Government is bound to do them justice.
But this is not a mere personal matter. The in-1
terests of the nation demand that men employed 1
on a public service shall not be exposed to injury
from the of any class or profession. If Sir
J. M'Neill and Colonel Tulloch be not righted there
is an end of all good to be expected from any future I
inquiry in which men dependent on the Govern-
ment may be engaged.

ately after our report had been presented to Parliament,
to bring officially to the notice of the Secretary of State for
War the zealous and efficient co-operation for which I was
indebted to my junior colleague, Colonel Tnlloch, and to
solicit a reward /or him. When I consented to proceed to
the Crimea at the head of a commission I conceived that
my duty to the country was in perfect accordance with the
intentions and wishes of the Government. Lord Palmerston
had urged the substitution of a commission in the Crimea
for the committee of the House of Commons demanded by
Mr. Roebuck, and had thus, as it appeared to me, pledged
the Government to an unflinching inquiry. My duty, as
I understood it, was to conduct that inquiry without fear
or favour, and to report the result faithfully, without con-
sidering whom it might inculpate or whom exculpate. The
welfare of the British army, the honour of her Majerty 's
arms, the interests of the nation, in more than one
quarter of the globe, and the success of the war waged to
defend the freedom of Europe, were all at stake i❑ the
Crimea, and I did not consider it possible that at such a
moment any one could give way to mere personal conside-
rations.

`Colonel Talloch, who had subsequently been appointed
to accompany me, and who had already rendered valuable
services to the army and the country, cordially concurred
in those views of our duty, and I took early and frequent
occasions to announce them on our arrival in the camp.
" Having carried out those views with undeviating and
often painful fidelity, and having, in measured and mode-
rate terms, temperately stated the results in our reports,
accompanied by the evidence, oral and documentary, on
which they were founded, I conceived that we had done
our duty both to the Government and to the country. It
then became the business of the Government to protect
the public interests involved in the assertion and main-
' tenancc of every truth contained in our report that could
be made available for the advantage of the army or the
nation, and I declined to interfere with the execution of the
trust which had devolved upon her Majesty's Ministers
and for which they alone were responsible.
" What objects, with reference to us and to our renort,
may have,been contemplated by her Majesty's Ministers in
the course which they thought it proper to pursue I do not
pretend to know or to understand ; but whatever their in-
tentions may have been their proceedings appear to have
produced a very general impression that the acknowledged
fidelity of our report was nut in accordance with their
wishes ; and the feeling thus produced must affect the dis-
position of the country to entrust to the executive any in-
quiries connected with the army that may hereafter be
called for. This is a result which, with reference to con-
stitutional consideration, they, as Ministers of the Crown,
cannot be supposed to desire.
" While the proceedings of the Government, acting
through the War Department, were regarded as indications
of a desire to discredit the commissioners and neutralise
their report, the language of the Prime Minister in the
House of Commons evinced his disposition to do them
justice. In the debate on the 29th Feb. upon Mr. lice-
buck's

mentin this matter, and after Mr. Peel, the

More recently, at a dinner at Arbroath, on the 30th of
December, Lord Panmute stated, for the first time in pub-
lic, that the Government approved our report, which had
then been in his hands nearly 12 months, and
lianaent and the public almost' as long. The terldineepar-f

Mr. MOHIAILTI was called to the chair. He observed
that the present meeting was, as he understood, convened
not so much for any action in reference to Prince Alfred's
absence on the Continent, as to compare opinions ou a
question in reference to which he could not but think
there was much misapprehension abroad. He had pur-
L posely abstained from committing himself on the subject
until taking that chair, as his own views possibly clashed
with those of several who had favoured calling the meet-
ing, but who were, ha believed, as desirous as himself for
the fair and candid investigation of a subject in which all
Englishmen must feel strongly interested. (Hear.) He
had now to state openly, and unequivocally, that he
wholly dissented from those who discovered any ground of
apprehension in a prince of the blood, however near the
throne, receiving part of his education on the Continent ;
on the contrary, it was a preparatory course fraught with
many obvious advantages ; Germany, for instance, was a
land where learning prevailed ; where science, the arts,
healthy philosophy, and a comprehensive literature flou-
rished. (Hear, hear.) What country could boast a longer
list of useful practical writers in astronomy, mathematics,
chemistry, and mechanics ? What country, save our own,
had nursed greater poets, and had made equal progress in
the fine arts, engraving, and the cultivation of music,
particularly the latter? (Cheers.) There also the elements
of political economy could be advantageously studied. In
olden times the best sovereigns sent their sons to receive
lessons in foreign lands; and those so advantaged had been
amongst the wisest of rulers. The education of a prince
confined to England would be wanting in some important
features. Granting that our universities and public schools
furnished a high classical and mathematical education,
which was undeniable, there was much, very much, which
a prince who was destined to hold relations with other
powers, could not learn at them, much less under the pri-
vate tutorage of a domestic teacher. We have book law
to an extent that perhaps no other country possessed; but
for the distinguished youngster, now at Geneva, some-
thing more was necessary. He must have opportunities of
studying men and manners in a wider sphere than the nar-
i•w circle of a Court, surrounded with frigid conventions.
hems. In Germany thought was free, conventionalism was
relaxed. The relation of the head of the State towards his
subjects, at least in those parts where the young prince
wilt sojourn, is paternal and familiar. What lessons of des-
potism could he learn in Switzerland, the stronghold of
liberty ? Weald he return impregnated by unconstitutional
principles from witnessing the hardy, unconquered patrio-
tism of a people who had bid defiance to a powerful and
grasping neighbour? From his excellent mother the Prince
had learnt everything in the way of preparatory tuition
about England. In her example he had seen and received
the unspeakable benefit of the maternal relations; the
social virtues would be advanced and matured in Germany,
for there they were studiously cultivated, and had shown
their fruits in her Majesty's training, as well as in that of
other British princesses and princes. The objections raised
by many to a semi-German education in the case of a prince
royal were, he humbly conceived, foundedi n gteandless
prejudice, unworthy of the present enlightened age, when
science, enlightened Christianity, oneness of interest, the
printing press, the telegraph, steam, a world's circumfer-
ence of railways, and, abeyant', sympathy of kind, draw-
ing together all, "people, nations, and languages," it was
founded entirely on misconception—a prejudice and mis-
conception which a little candid investigation would
speedily dissipate. (Cheers.)
Mr. THOMPSON admitted the accuracy of some of the
chairman's remarks, but wholly dissented from him in
others. The public schools and colleges of this country
furnished a higher standard of education, including politi-
cal economy, ecclesiastical polity, and every branch of
ethics. In what country were the chairs of philosophy
better filled ? (Hear.) A prince, of whom there was even
the-passibility that he would..eneceed to the throne of Eng-
land, should be early imbued with English notions; his
taste;, his studies, his local attainments, should be English.
Were it otherwise, and they were supplanted by foreign
preferences and associations, he would, when filling the
responsible office of Sovereign, lack the proper degree of
sympathy for the people over whom he would be placed,
and be disregardful of the institutions and constitutional
checks to absolute power established in this country. It
was jeopardising the future liberties of Great Britain for
very doubtful advantages. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. WAYLAND held, with the chairman, that a partial
education abroad, with opportunities of travel and obser-
vation, for a Prince Royal, was unobjectionable, if not
greatly advantageous—though, on attending the meeting,
he was almost prepared to advocate the opposite side of the
question. True it was that our ancestors were Germane,
and that the great bulk of the people of this country sprung
from that vigorous, intelligent, and invincible race, occu-
pying the north of Germany, called Saxons, or Sassens—a
word equivalent to the modern term of settlers; and one
significant of the character they have always supported by
their migratory habits ; though, in truth, the woi d Saxon,
or Sachsen, signified not merely settlers, but permanent
settlers, justified by the history from a remote period of
this wonderful race. We had iton the authority of Ptolemy
that in the 2d century they had established themselves in
the Cimbriae Peninsula, now Denmark, to which both En-
tropies and Ozosius supplied similar testimony. Thence
they spread through Westphalia as far as the Rhine and
the Netherlands. Wherever they settled, the face of the
country improved as by magic. Their indomitable perse-
verance, industry, and invention gave a new character to
existing institutions, and created new ones. They made in-
cursions into Gaul in the 4th century, where they carried
on a long and vigorous resistance to the advancing arms of
Rome. But their greatest achievement, looking at its ulti-
mate results, was their conquest and occupancy of the
southern part of this island, which took them about a cen-
tury and a quarter, and to which they gave the name of
England. Why did he refer to those remote historic inci-
dents relative to a continental race, but because that race
and ours were indentical ? only separated by geographical
boundaries and a slight diversity in the languages of the
two countries. (Cheers). In the fifth century that won-
derful people, from whose ancestors the present Rcyal
family and the English nation both sprung, entered ou a
succession of desperate conflicts with the Franks; long
did they stand their ground against

Mr. Elliott—Do you recollect what led to hie saying

it was, and then he said that if she said anything about
him he would kill her. I then said, " Slit) won't lay it

repeated that if she did, he would kill her. Mrs. Monroe
and a little girl were present at this conversation ; but I
can't say whether they heard it or not. I recollect seeing
a pair of tronsers--fustian or moleskin—in the front room
upstairs. I saw a small spot of blood on them, on the
right leg, at tie bottom. I said nothing to anybody
about it when I saw it. I did not speak to Bacon about
it. I have seen the trousers to-day, and there is uo spot
at all now where I saw the blood, and it looks to me as
if it had been taken out. Bacon never told nee bow the
blood came there except as I have mentioned. I recol-
lect he mentioned that he had a sore finger from cutting
it. I think ho said it was done carving his dinner. I
don't recollect his giving any other account of it.
Mr. Elliott—Do you recollect his saying anything
else about his wife ?

Witness—Yes, I think he said that if she retuned
home to him he should take her abroad.

Mr. Atter, of Stamford, Bacon's attorney, here en-
tered the court, and his presence seemed to inspire his
client with much confidence. Bacon, who appeared up
to this point, i❑ a drooping and dejected state, seemed
to pluck up a a good deal, and as soon as Mr. Atter
took his seat alongside Mr. Woodward, he (Bacon)
commenced writing a note, which he forwarded to him
and received one in reply.
Mrs. Matilda Lawrence, of No. 11, George-street,
Camberwell, was next called, and deposed that, on the
morning of Monday, the sth instant, she sent her
daughter, a child of eight years of age, on an errand,
and in about five minutes she returned with the watch
produced wrapped up in a piece of paper, and said she
had picked it up on the step of the door No. 4, George-
street.
Mr. Elliott—What sort of paper was it ?

Mr. Beadon—No doubt there must be a sufficient

be what is called a betting-house. It does not follow
that in this house it should be necessary to show that
betting t )olt place on a particular day—it does not mat-
ter whe•her the party transacts betting business on that
day, provided it can be shown from other circumstances
that it is right to infer the house as a betting-house. I
differ with Mr. Lewis with respect to what he said
about persons going into the house and looking at the
betting boards. Mr. Lewis did not think that afforded
any proof of the house being a betting-house, But when
person? go into a shop, whether it is a tailor's, haber-
dasher se or shoemaker' they do so because they see the
special articles displayed - this distinguishes the business
of the shop. And what is it that the police see when they
enter the house in Jermyn-street—they see boards die-
played, on which are written, " Odds laid on the double
and treble events”—odds for first, second, and third
horse in Handicap Races, Chester Cup Race, fluidic,
Race, and other races, with the dates when the race is
to be run. All these particulars are written on a board,
and Ineg in a conspicuous place in the shop. But that

the
party in the house on the Oundle Stsks stands uncontra-
dieted and confirmed by circurn-tauces. Everything con-
firm the belief that this place is used as a betting-house;
and I can come to no other conclusiou than that the
place is kept open as a temptation to the public to come
in and bet upon races. This part of the case does not
touch Reeve, but it affects Bass, who was seen in the
place several times ostensibly conducting the business.
He was seen writing and delivering tickets, and though
the witness did not see what the writing was on the face
of the documents, he states they resembled the betttin,
ticket that he received when he made a het. After the,
can I say that Bass was not there for the purpose of
conducting the business of the place. ? Common sense is
in favour of this view, and the act of Parliament is not
strained in taking that view. I think the defendant Bass
was in the place conducting the business of the betting-
house, and that he is liable to the penalty set forth in
the act. With regard to the conviction, it would in
different where the party was proved to participate in
the profits, or where he was only a servant. In the
first case I should put on the full penalty of 1001.
After Mr. Lewis had spoken in mitigation of penalty,
Mr. Beadon dra v a distinction between the
actual owner or manager of abetting-house and a party
who may be under his control as a servant. I shall in-
flict a fine of 251. or two neonths'irnprisonment on Bass.
Mr. Lewis—We shall appeal.
Mr. Beadon—You will have every facility aff.rded
for doing so. The other defendant will be discharged.
The next case was against W
V. Ray, of No. 12, Little
Newport-street.

OF A SON.

Witness—A piece of paper which appeased to ma to
be part of a posting-bill ; but I took no p4rtieular notice
of it, but threw it away. I kept the watch until the
Saturday following, when I pawned it at the bhop of
Mr. Wharton, in the Walworth•road. I redeemed it
afterwards, and hatded it to Mr. Davis, now present.
An intelligent little girl, the-child of the last witness,
corroborated her mother's statement as to finding the
watch.

In this case the defendant was found on the premiSes
and admitted living there. This was confirmed yester-
day by the landlord.
Mr. Beadon went over the evidence given on the pre-
vious examination, and said, when betting cards where
found about the place, and betting books discovered, it
was impossible to find stronger evidence of the place
being used as a betting-house.

with i/aming the same amount of fine as in the previous
case.
Mr. Beadon said that he must make a distinction in
this case. The defendant not only kept a betting-house,

Mr. Richard Davis, an ex•oflicer of police, deposed
that, on the 20th inst., he received the watch produced
from Mrs. Lawrence, and that on the same evening he
saw the prisoner Bacon at the shop of Mr. Peuson, iron-
monger, Walworth-rcad. lie there asked to describe the
watch he had lost, and for the restoration of which he
had offered'a reward of 5/. ; and he said that it had been
made by his brother, and that its number was the same
as that mentioned in the bill. lie then showed the
watch to Bacon, and on looking at it be said that he
did not believe it was his, but subsequently thought it
was. 'Witness at that time gave up the watch to Ser-
geant Broad. Davis, in reply to a question from the
magistrate, said he knew the neighbourhood well, and the
distance from the house in Four•acre-street, from which
Bacon alleged the watch had been taken, to that in
George•street, where it was found, was about a quarter
of a mile—fully that.
