CHARGE OF FRAUD AGAINST A STOCK-

BROKER.

Yesterday Mr. Frederick Everett, a stockbroker,
appeared before the Lord Mayor at the Justice-
room of the Mansion-house upon a summons,
which charged that he on the 16th of July, 1867,
unlawfully and knowingly, by certain false pre-
tences, caused and induced one Mr. Francis Perry
to accept a bill of exchange for £23Q ; on the 31st
of the same month another bill of exchange for
£2OO, and on the 10th of August, 1867, a third bill
of exchange for £136 17s. 6d., with intent to de-
fraud. The defendant was also charged with ob-
taining by false pretences from Mr. Perry two
checks for £7 and £6 14s. 3d., on the 4th Septem-
ber, 1867.

Alderman Sir Robert Carden and Mr. Alderman
Couston were also upon the bench.
Mr. George Lewis, jitn., solicitor, appeared to
prefer the comphint ; and Mr. Ihrdinge Giffard,
QC., inztructed by Messrs. Humphreys and Mor-
gan, solicitors, defended Mr. Everett.
The defendant pleaded "Not Guilty."

Mr. Lewis, addressing the Bench, s_►id he attended
to prosecute Mr. Everett on the charge which had
just been read, and certainly if the facts had been
stated to him correctly, a very gross fraud
had been committed by the dJeudant, wh) was
a member of the Stock Exchange and a stock-
broker. In the middle of last year the complainant,
Mr. Perry, was induced to enter into certain specu-
lations in stocks, and with that view applied to the
defendant, who arranged that before he could enter
into transactions for him, Mr. Perry should lodge
with him £lOO. Upon that the complainant handed
him a check for that amount, and again on the 3d
of June another check for £lOO, as a margin out of
which any loss that might arise on transactions he
entered into on his account should be borne. The
defendant began at once to speculate, and very
shortly afterwards handed to Mr. Perry an account,
stating that he had sustained a loss of £157, upon
which Mr. Perry gave him a check for that sum.
On the 4th and 6th September, 1867, two small
checks for £7 and £6 14s. odd were handed by Mr
Perry to the defendant, and in July and August of
that year three bills of exchange, amounting alto-
gether to £556 odd. From first to last, indeed,
Mr. Perry had handed to the defendant about
£l,OOO. Before those bills became due, Mr.
Perry had reason to believe that he had been
cheated by the defendant, that the accounts the
defendant had rendered to him as to the alleged
losses were in fact fictitious ; that the transactions
had never occurred at all, and that the stock therein
represented had never been purchased. At length
Mr. Perry applied to him to furnish him with the
name of the principal with whom he had had those
transactions, but he declined to give the informa-
tion. Mr. Perry was obliged to bring an action
against Mr. Everett with a view to interrogate him
in reference to the transactions in question, and in
the result a verdict was given for Mr. Perry, the
plaintiff, subject to a reference to an arbitrator as
to the amount of which he had been defrauded.
Mr. Everett, having been interrogated as to who
were his principals in the transactions, said he had
been dealing with a Mr. T. D., and on being asked
who "T. D." was, he replied that he was not a
member of the Stock Exchange, but a solicitor's
clerk. The fact was that "T. D." was a Thomas
Deboos, a clerk to a firm of solicitors in George-
street, Westminster. On the trial of the action
Thomas Deboos,who would have been an important
witness for Mr. Everett if the transactions in ques-
tion had been conducted in good faith, was not
forthcoming, and the defendant being cross-exa-
mined was unable to answer the question as to
where he had bought the stock he was alleged to
have sold to Mr. Perry on behalf of "r. D." He
was also asked if he had ever paid over to " T. I)."
Thomas Deboos one shilling of the money he ob-
tained from Mr. Perry, and he was obliged to say
he had not. The fact was, the whole thing was so
transparent that the jury eventually found a ver-
dict in favour of Mr. Perry. That being so, Mr.
Perry now appeared before the Lord Mayor to pre-
fer his complaint in the belief that such transactions
could not be carried on in the city of London with
impunity.

The first witness called was Mr. Francis Perry.
He said—l am a commission agent, at 172, Fen-
church-street, and know the defendant. He is, I
believe, a stockbroker. On the 31st of May, 1867,
I had a conversation with a Mr. Abetvold, in con-
sequence of which I handed to him a check on the
City Bank for £lOO, to be given to the defendant,
and again on the 3d of June another check for
£lOO. On the 30th of May I received from the de-
fendant, through Mr. Abetvold, a memorandum re-
lating to £5,000 Spanish Passive Stock, alleged to
have been bought on my account. It was not a
contract note, but merely a memorandum of the
transaction. From time to time I received from
the defendant down to the 12th of September the
bought and sold notes produced, and accounts
showing my alleged indebtedness to him on these
various transactions through Mr. Abetvold. The
first account, dated the 10th of July, 1867, showed
a loss of £65 ; the second, on the 15th of July, a
loss of £285 2s. 11d. ; the third, on the 31st of
July, a loss of £2OO 2s. 7d ; the fourth, on the 10th
of August, of £136 17s. 6d. ; the filth, on the 15th
of August, a gain of £ll3 Os. 6d. ; the sixth, on
the 29th of August, a loss of £l3 45. 2d; the
seventh, on the 13th of September, a gain of £57
16s. 3d. ; and the last, ou the Bth of October, a loss
of £2B Bs. 9d. On the 27th of June the accounts
showed a loss of £l5l 6s. 3d., and I sent the de-
fendant a check for that amount ou the Alliance
Bank. On the 4th and Gth of September I sent
him two checks fur £7 and £6 14s. 3d., the account
received on the 29th of August showing a loss for
those amounts. In consequence of the accounts
sent in to me I handed three bills of exchange to
Mr. Abetvold for the defendant, one on the 16th
of July for £230, another on the 31st of July for
£2OO, and a third ou the 10th of August for £136
17s. Gd., all payable at two months. I afterwards
consulted Messrs. Lawrence, Hardwick, and Co.,
solicitors, and gave them certain instructions, and
finding that every transaction into which I had
entered with the defendant was treated by him as
a loss against me, they wrote to the defendant for
the name of his principal. In one case only he
gave the name. The price of stock would some-
times vary from 2 to 4 per cent. in the day, but in
the defendant's transactions with me the account
was in the result closed against me at a great loss.
The Lord Mayor, interposing, said the witness
must expect to have his accounts sent in at the
lowest price of the day.

Sir Robert Carden—l should not expect so if I
were a principal.

Mr. Lewis—My contention is that the alleged
transaction never took place.

IVitness, continuing—l afterwards, on the advice
of my solicitors, brought an action against the de-
fendant, and under a judge's order obtained an
inspection of his books, which was conducted on
my behalf by Mr. Killingworth, an accountant.
The defendant was also interrogated as to the name
of his principal. His reply was that between May,
1867, and the commencement of the action he pur-
chased for or sold to, and sold for or purchased of
a person represented in his books by the initials
" T. D.," stocks or shares on behalf of the plaintiff
(Mr. Perry), at certain times which he mentioned.
He also replied that he had not received from or
paid to " T. D." during that period any sum of
money on behalf of the plaintiff, but that the trans-
actions with " T. D." had, with others of a similar
nature, not affecting the plaintiff, been settled with
T. D." in account current. Ile likewise said
that the person represented by the initials " T. D."
was Thomas James Deboos, of 23, Hanley-road,
Hornsey. I was afterwards informed that Deboos
was a lawyer's clerk. I tried to find him at the
address given, but could not. When the action
was being tried at Guildhall, in the given's Bench
before a special jury, I neard the defendant asked.
by the judge to point out any transaction in his
books relating to the purchase or sale of stock be-
tween me and Deboos. After an interval of ten
minutes be failed to identity any. I think be poiote,i
toone transaction, and only one. lle was asked when
he last g.aw ,lieboos, 4110 I Wulf. IN, said .the day before
the trial. Deboos was several tines called as a

witness, but did not answer. The defendant was
asked whether he had paid Deboos any money on
these accounts, and he said he had not. He was
asked if he had ever sent any contract notes to
Deboos in the transactions. He replied in the ne-
gative. I had previously searched his contract
books with Mr. Killingsworth, the accountant, and
could find no counterfoil of any such transactions
with him. I did not pay the three bills of ex-
change. I have paid the defendant £370 odd alto-
gether by check, and a composition on two of the
bills. The "T. D." account represents a loss of
over £5OO from the end of May until about the
beginning of September, including the first two
cheques for £lOO each.

Being cross-examined by Mr. Giffard, Q.C., wit-
ness said he had been a commission agent for 10 or
12 years. lie was an agent in this country for his
two brothers, one of whom was in Mexico and the
other in Australia, in buying and selling produce.
Ho had bought and sold stock on speculation. He
first began to buy and sell stock about 20 years ago,
but had sometimes abstained for an interval of five
years. He had been a defaulter in some of his
speculations, but he did not believe that the broker
had to pay on those occasions. In November last
entered into a composition (Ice l. About five years
ago he executed a similar deed when he had a
partner, or rather an absolute assignment of their
whole estate. He was unable to say whether
the creditors hal been paid or not ; his
impression was that they had not, but he had no
means of knowing. Three or four brokers on the
Stock Exchange were among the creditors on that
occasion. Now that he knew what he did know he
did not think that he was indebted to the brokers
at all. He believed to a certain extent the same
game was played as in this case. He meant that
stock purporting to be held for him did not exist.
He meant to insinuate that lie had been cheated.
The brokers in one case were Messrs. Capper, Es-
combe, and Lawson, who claimed about £BOO, and
in another, Mr. Montefiore, who claimed £4OO or
£5OO. Witness did not owe Mr. Galloway any-
thing. There was another deed of composition in
November last. His liabilities, not debts, were then
about £7,000, and he had paid the composition of
ls. in the pound to those creditors whose claims
were undisputed. He concurred in the purchase or
sale of stock by Mr. Everett through Mr. Abet-
vold. Mr. Abetvold was to give him the benefit
of his knowledge, advice, and experience, and
was to have for his remuneration one-fifth of
the profits on the transactions. In May, 1867,
he should say he was insolvent, as the result
has turned out, taking into account the price of
cotton and other produce. It was cotton afloat,
and its exact value could not then be estimated, as
the prices fluctuated enormously. He had condition-
ally compounded the debt of Mr. Meugens for about
£1,300. That was a cotton transaction, and when cot-
ton was falling. He thought it was in June, 1867.
It was a contingent arrangement with Mr. Men-
gens, and yet he thought he (witness) was then
solvent. Mr. Meugens was to take in lieu of that
debt £7O or £BO, and witness was to give him the
remainder when prices got better. In the transac-
tions with the defendant Witness was asked whe-
ther he would close the stock or continue it. In
some instances he elected to continue it, believing
the transactions to be bona fide. His present debt
to Mr. Meugens was £1,300 odd. About £13,000
or £14,000 was the amount of debt of witness and
his partner under the deed of assignment five years
ago. They paid as long as they could. The defen-
dant was liable to be called on to deliver his stock,
but this was a speculative transaction and not to be
taken up, as he knew.

Re-examißed by Mr. Lewis—The fact was that
the highest price of the day was put down against
him, and he was charged with that. He paid the
defendant before making any complaint, believing
the bana fides of the transaction. He first com-
plained about September, but was never satisfied
with any explanation he received. He was charged
commission, " contangoes," commission on continu-
ation, and then commission on the sale, and he paid
these partly in cash and partly in bills, believing
there had been such transactions. Five years ago,
when he had a partner, they were carrying on a
large business, and no charge of want of honour
was made against them. They had been in business
12 or 15 years, and had transactions with some of
the first houses in London. The second deed of
composition, in November last, was brought about
solely by defendant's proceedings on the three bills
in question.

James Killingsworth, accountant, 3G, Moor-
gate-street, said he had acted for Mr. Perry under
a Judge's order, in investigating an alleged account
of purchase and sale of stock between him and
"T. D." by the defendant. Among the books he
examined some coanterfoils of contracts made by
the defendant in his business. He could not find
any contract of stock purchased by "T. D." He
did not look for any because the defendant's solici-
tor and accountant said there were none. The de-
fendant at the trial said that there was no such
contract, it not being usual. He investigated an
account called the "'l'. D." account in the ledger,
made up from the jobbing books. There were many
transactions in that account, which did not refer to
Mr. Perry. He took from it an account between
Mr. Perry and the defendant, showing a total loss
to the former, if the account was a fiction, to the
amount of £522 odd. £89,620 was the nominal
value of the stock purchased, but the cash value was
about £34,000. The defendant at the trial said
Mr. Deboos was the trustee of his marriage, and
that he had seen him last on the previous Saturday.
He was asked if he had paid any cash to Deboos.
He said he had not, because his books showed that
none had passed. I here were three pages in the
ledger containing Deboos' account, and there was
not a single cash transaction or receipt. The ac-
count ended with a small balance due to " T. 1)." of
£l6, speaking from memory. In the jobbing book
of the 30th of May the last entry but one referred
to the £5,000 Spanish Passives. The last entry,
on the 31st of May, referred to the £l,OOO Tur-
kish stock, and the initials " T. D." were opposite
to it.

In cross-examination the witness stated that there
were about 60 transactions, purchases and sales
together, in which Mr. Everett acted as broker
between Mr. Perry and "T. D." There were 180
transactions for Perry altogether. There were many
of "T. D.," having no reference to rerry ; they
related to matters before and after Perry's transac-
tions.

At this stage Mr. Lewis applied to have the hear-
ing adjourned, stating that so far the prosecution
had not been able to procure the attendance of Mr.
Deboos as a witness.

Mr. Giffard contended that assuming Deboos
and Abetvold could prove all that Mr. Lewis bad
alleged. there was no case calling on the defendant
for an answer, and that it was incumbent on the
prosecutor to show that he had use.' reason-
able diligence to procure the attendance of his wit-
nesses. Sometimes an application was made for
adjournment in matters of this kind with the view
to extort favourable terms, but he believed it was
the wish of Mr. Everett, who had been a member
of the Stock-Exchange for 20 years, that it should
be thoroughly investigated.
Mr. Lewis said let no one suppose that this mat-
ter was going to be compromised, and that the pro-
secution was not instituted until a verdict had been
found in the Court of Queen's Bauch by a special
jury that the stock transactions in question were
fictitious.

Mr. Giffard observed that the prosecution would
hear more of that on a future occasion.

The Lord Mayor adjourned the inquiry until
Monday next, taking, in the meantime, the defen-
da4s own recOguizauces in £sjo for his appear-
ance then.

The Rev. John Ryan, P.P., of New Inn, Cahir,
writes to the Freeman's Journal to state that Mr.
William Scully's form of " lease," requiring tenants
to pay all the poor rates, is " not a singular or
isolated case of illegal dealing about property en-
forced on their tenants by Irish landlords." "1
kuow," he adds, " and at the proper time and in
the proper place will make public, the name of a
landlord—one of the judges of her Majesty's courts
of law—on whose very large properties all the ten-
ants are bound by law to' pay all the poor rates. I
know the names of the agents who have eutorced
this iniquitous dealing, at which the -Irish lazd-
,lorda ..auct tii*„ press appear ,accw to. b$ scauta-
Lied."

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER SUMMER MEETING.

WEDNESDAY.

Though decidedly deficient in interest as com-
pared with former anniversaries—though certainly
not wanting in sensational incidents—the St. Leger
of 1868 lacked none of the peculiarly distinctive
features we have been accustomed to associate with
this the last of the trio of great weight-for-age
races of the year.
The enclosure was thronged to excess, and the
dense crowd of "excited Yorkshire" which lined
each side of the course, extending as far as the Red
llonse, proved conclusively that, notwithstanding
the unpleasant rumours which were in circulation
respecting certain of the competitors, and the un-
usually meagre character of the field, the great
north-country race ha I lest none of its traditional
attractions. The most commendable punctuality
was observed througho it the day, the trio of
opening events in the programme being disposed
of upwards of half an hour before the time
appointed for the decision of the great race of the
day. The telegraph showed a dozen runners out
of the nineteen coloured oa the card, the abs, ntees
being Lord PalmJrston, The Sawyer, Sunstroke,
Ritualist, Geant des Batailles, The Laird, and
Prince George. The betting had been very erratic
during the morning, Formosa and King Alfred
alternately occupying the premier position in the
quotations, but just before the start the pair
bt came equal favourites, 100 to 30 being accepted
about each. Viscount was quoted at sto 1, Paul
Jones 100 to 15, Typhceus 12 to 1, St. Ronan 20 to
1, Mercury 25 to 1, the others ranging between
66 and 100 to 1. Typhceus was the first to put
in an appearance on the course, followed by
The Spy, Viscount, King Alfred, Paul Jones,
and See-Saw ; next came St. Ronan, Mercury,
and the Viscountess cols ; then Virtue and
Orion, and Formosa last of all. The Oaks vic-
trix was brought to the post in the perfection
of blooming condition, and was unanimously
pronounced to have vastly improved and thickened
since she ran at Ascot, while the fine sweeping,
action she displayed in her preliminary canter con-
clusively refuted the canard, which had been so in-
dustriously put about during the morning, that she
was suffering from lameness. King Alfred, who
was ridden by Daley without spurs, also attracted
general attention, but though, like Formosa, he
was unimpeachable in point of condition, not a few
of the cognoscenti took exception to his high, fight-
ing action. Mercury, though run in a hood,
created a favourable impression, but Typhceus
looked big, and was palpably short of preparation.
After three false attempts a beautiful start was
effected, The Spy cutting out the work with a clear
lead, Orion, Typhoeus, and Viscount being in close
attendance, followed at some distance by Paul
Jones, Formosa, and Mercury, See-Saw, and King
Alfred bringing up the rear division. The race,
which will be found fully described below, was run
at a great pace, The Spy holding the lead up to
the last turn, where he gave way to Paul Jones
and Mercury, the former at this point showing well
in front. Nearing the half distance, however,
Cballoner, who had hitherto ridden with most ex-
emplary patience, brought up Formosa on the
outside, and the filly, answering gamely to the
call of her jockey, had both her opponents safe
a dozen strides from home, and cantered in an
easy winner by two lengths. Mercury finished a
bad third, The Spy fourth, See-Saw fifth, Typhceus
sixth, followed at long intervals by Virtue, King
Alfred, Orion, St. Ronan, the Viscountess colt, and
Viscount ; the " Malton crack" finishing absolutely
last. King Alfred and the Viscountess colt broke
down during the race. Annexed is a return of the
day's sport :

They left the Paddock in capital time, and after taking
their preliminary canter they joined the starter, who, after
three failures, lowered his flag at 3.18, the lot leaving the
post in close company ; but immediately after making the
turn See-Saw, with Virtue on his right, was seen in ad-
vance of Typhoeus, Orion, and The Spy, but as they
neared the foot of the hill The Spy ran through his
horses and assumed the lead, Orion going on second, with
Typhoeus, Viscount, and St. Ronan nearly abreast, next;
in whose rear were seen the colours of Formosa, Paul
Jones, Mercury, Virtue, and Viscountess colt; See Saw
having dropped into the rear with King Alfred. These
positions were zetained over the hill, but on reappearing
in sight The Spy had increased his lead to half a dozen
lengths, Orion still lying second, slightly in advance of Vis-
count, Typhoeus, and St. Ronan, who were two lengths in
front of Mercury, Paul Jones, See Saw, and Formosa, to
the rifle butts, where the leader was seen gradually
coming back to his horses, but before they reached the
Red House Orion was beaten and dropped away, followed
in a few strides further by Viscount and Typhoeus, leav-
ing the Mahon horse in front, waited upon by St. Ronan,
Mercury, Paul Jones, and See-Saw. Formosa, who had
boon gradually improving her position, was now seen
approaching the leaders as they came round the bend.
Hero The Spy was headed by Paul Jones in the centre
and Mercury next the rails, the former with a slight ad-
vantage ; the favourite, ridden with great patience by
Chalouer, biding her time until half way iu the distance,
when, having disposed of 11r. Bowes's colt, she carne up
wide on the right, aiad, having both her opponents safe a
dozen strides from home, won in a canter by a couple of
lengths; Mercury finished a bad thii'd: The Spy was a
bad fourth, See-Saw fifth, Typhoeus sixth,Virtue seventh,
King Alfred eighth, and Orion next, widely separated.
The last three, pulling up on the post, were St. Ronan,
Viscountess colt, and Viscount, in the order we have
named them. The Viscountess cult and King Alfred
pulled up lame. Time, as taken by Benson's chronograph,

THE Hop PLANTATIONS.-ROCHESTER, Sept. 8.
—The great heat of tho last few days has had the effect of
rapidly changing the colour of those hops in the plantations
where picking has not yet commenced, and they have ac-
cordingly been much deteriorated, the reports from some of
the districts in Mid-Kent stating that mould and lice
are both on the increase. Hop-picking is now general
throughout Kent, and already several of the largest planta-
tions have been cleared out. By the end of the present
week picking will be almost entirely completed. The
yield will, in all probability, average about 6 cwt. per acre.
The hops from the Kentish gardens are hardly as good in
quality as those of last and previous years, the majority
of the samples already brought to market being bruised
and broken. The hop trade remains inactive with prices
much the same as before. Few choice samples have
been yet sent to market, and for these high prices are
obtainable.

A conference of Plenipotentidries of the North
German and South German States will shortly be held at
Berlin to discuss the proposal for a general postal treaty
with Italy. A treaty of friendship and commerce between
Belgium and Siam was signed on the 29th ult. at the
Belgian Legation, by the respective Ministers Plenipo-
tentiary, Baron du Jardin and Sir John Bowring.
