MOOLRAJ IN PRISON.

The following is an extract from the letter of an
artist in Calcutta, dated June 2 :

* * * " I have lately done what a
whole British force could not do for about six
months—l have taken Moolraj. In plain English, I
have had the honour of a further and double commis-
sion from the Governor-General to make for his
Lordship portraits of Moolraj and the prisoner
called the Bhaee, in the same style (say my in-
structions) as the portrait recently executed by
you, for his Lordship, of the Nepaulese Minister,
Jung Bahador.' Of course I shall not suppose
you ignorant as to who Moolraj is—the celebrated
defender of Mooltan ; but you may not be
so familiar with the Bhaee, or Gooroo. A Gooroo
is a priest, or spiritual adviser ; and this man, I may
briefly mention, was one of a peculiar influential cha-
racter amongst the Seikhs ; a circumstance conse-
quent in some measure on his supposed sanctity, but
tar more so on the fact of his being believed by many
of the Khalsa, or Seikhs, to be the actually resuscitated
body and spirit of the great original Bhaee, or Bii,
or Gooroo, who, if I mistake not, was killed in battle.
The present worthy has, at any rate, been sufficiently
influential to prove a source of great trouble to the
British Government; hence the pains bestowed on his
capture, and the care take n of his person when once
secured.

" Orders having been given that every facility
should be afforded me for carrying out the wishes
of Government,' I had, of course, freedom of access
to the Gooroo's cell at all times; bu*, go when I
would, the austere inmate was ever on the same spot,
and in the same attitude--seated on the ground in
one corner, with his face to the wall, he appeared
absorbed in prayer or in meditation, an occasional
very low murmur, as if he were chanting, and the
clank of his heavy chain as he chanced to move a
limb, being the only sounds that denoted the presence
of his life. Colonel . . . . declared that he had
hardly ever seen his face, as he regarded no one's
entrance, and continued in the same place and attitude
all day. A very different being was his companion
(commonly called his disciple) in confinement, namely,
Khurruck Singh, a fine, stout young fellow, who,
being unhappily found in the Gooroo's society (and,
perhaps, offering resistance) was arrested with him,
and alike condemned to banishment--a stout oppo-
nent, no doub•, with a blade in his hand, but
otherwise a peace'ul, good-humoured, contented
mortal. He alone knew Hindoostanee, but, either
influenced by the presence of his ghostly master,
or naturally taciturn, he spoke but little —tbe
GJoroo never! Yes, during some seven visits I
paid him, he opened his lips twice; one to ask (Kur-
ruck Singh interpreting) whether I was taking all
who had come down, and whether Moolrej also was
to be sent over the ka.a. panes,' (' black waters'—the
sea); and, on a sec,nd occasion, to complain by one
brief monos3llable c f pnin or weariness of standing.
Oaly fancy me, seated on a stool, my drawing-
board on my lap, a cell-floor for my studio,
a low embrasure fo,. a light—my sitter, beads in
hand, gloomy, silent, and in heavy chains
seated in front of me, with a sentry, bayonet in
hand, Ftanding over us. I succeeded in securing
both the likenesses and figures (being induced,
though not commissioned, to introduce Khurruck
Singh also) the day before their departure, leaving
the rest, and by far more laborious part, of the picture
to finish at my leisure. 11, on seeing the captain
of the vessel which took them to Singapore,
told him, 'IF you don't take care, your pas-
senger will drown himself when he gets down the
river near Gunga Segur, for that part of the Hooghly,
as a part of the Ganges, being holy, he as

liindoo will consider himself beatified to die in it.'
H—y's prognostication proved correct. At that
identical spot the Gooroo was discovered making the
attempt to get overboard ; for, despite a European
sergeant and ten European privates as a guard, he
had contrived to get two or three of the bars out of
his cabin window. Poor fellow ! I imagine he is by
this time sate in Singapore, where, I told his com-
panion, I should be happy if I were going for a time
too—the climate being so healthy.
" The Gooroo being disposed of I next waited with
Colonel on Moolraj, and was not a little sur-
prised to find in him the quiet mildness and humility
of a Calcutta Baboo!"fhe character of face (at
least in my picture) has given rise to such varieties
of opinion that I can only tell you, some think it is
very mild ; others, very melancholy ; others, that
there is much design in the expression ; and °theta,

much cruelty in the eye. He is about forty-five
years of age, I should say ; of middle height,

rather thin- than otherwise; of fair complexion;
features holdly, squarely formed, denoting perhaps
physical firmness; whilst, on the other hand, a varia-
bleness of expression, added to a peculiarity in the tone
of voice, led me to conceive that I could trace some-
thing of that weakness which might, indeed, render
him the victim of circumstances' be has been repre-

sented and pronounced to be, but no murderer. In-
telligent, but not enlightened, and with all the ortho-
doxy of Seikh Hindooism in his learning, in his
philosophy, and his theology, it was of course no
easy ,matter to convince him of even the simplest
truth in our philosophy. I think it was after the se-
cond or third sitting, when be had become more sociable,
that, seating himself on the edge of the table, he

said, You have drawn many faces; did you ever
draw the face of God ?' Here was a question. No,'
I replied. We cannot draw that which we have
never seen ; God is a spirit, and not confined to one
place ; He is in all places." How do you know
that,' said he, 'if you never saw him ?' and so I found
myself plumped into an argument which it was easier
for an unlearned linguist to enter into than to
get out of. However, I managed, or at least
endeavoured to lead him off into an illustration
of the power and nature of spirit, by reference
to the modern science of mesmerism, in which the
superior power or nervous influence of the stronger
party seems to invade, enter into, overwhelm, or
assume dominant power over the mind and system of
the weaker. This he could perfectly understand; for
mesmerism, as you perhaps know, has been practised
in India by the nitives from time beyond date.
You mean,' said he, ' juat as wine overcomes the
senses of the drunkard.' Our next discussion was on
geography, in which I soon found that the Hindoo
tnind of Moolraj continues as dark, as it well can be,
arid wedded as strongly to old systems and notions as
the old shoe is nailed to the stable-door post. But it
is written in our Shastas, &c.,' was the invariable and
knock-down reply to all my practical illustrations,
with globe and map in hand.

THE MUSSEL TRADE.--During the last three
weeks, the boatmen of Lyrnpstone and Starcross have been
reaping a rich harvest, by supplying mussels for the London
market. From 20 to 30 tons are sent off every evening, a#4
for these the men are remunerated at the rate of ls.per
their
bushel, which make them a handsome return for,
labour. The mussels are retailed in London at one penny
per quart.

memory of the late Duke of Cambridge.

FALKIRK TRYST, SEPT. 9.
(From the Edinburgh Witness.)
It will, no doubt, be in the recollection of our read-
ers, particularly the agricultural portion of them, that
soon after the last market or last year a requisition
was got up at the instance of the more influential por-
tion of the north and south country stockholders and
dealers to the Commissioners of Supply for Stirling-
shire, wishing the markets to commence on the Tues•
d,,ys, in place of the Mondays. Their object in
doing so was cerLinly very praiseworthy. In
driving the different stocks of sheep along the road,
from the extreme northern counties, they got
much mixed, and they never think of shedding
them iintil they arrive at their journey's end,
wh!r 'ey ueuJly manage to do on the Satur-
day ''""it or Sunday forenoon, consequently the
S.,bbath is devoted to the exchanging, &c., of the
strayed animals; and we understand the scenes on
that day in the village in the neighbourhood of the
market seance are almost beyond description—more
like a cattle market than the quiet rural district it
usually is. About a fortnight ago a counter move
was made, and advertised by a few in'erested parties
bell • to Edinburgh and its neighbourhood, ex-
presimg a determination to hold the market on the
usual day, which had the effect of bringing out a
few buyers to-day ; but the first requisitionists
being determined to hold by their resolution, only
about half a dozen small lots appeared on the ground ;

The name of this place will, perhaps', be familiar
to many of our readers. It is frequently mentioned
in the proceedings of the Dock Committee, being the
source whence all supplies of granite blocks and paving
stones for the dock quays are derivo. Kilmahreck
is situate near Blackcraig, in Galloway, and has
of late years become a place of some importance.
The quarry was opened about twenty years ago; and
the clergyman of the parish gives the following in-
tere,ting description of the modes operandi :—" The
working of this quarry in 1834 cost nearly
15,0001., including rent and tonnage of vessels,
&c. It is wrought in three breasts, about thirty feet
high each, the one above and behind the other.
Tha operations are conducted with much skill and
regularity. At one time powder was very much em-
ployed in this work ; fifty, sixty, and as high as
seventy pounds were used in one blast. These ex-
plosions were felt and heard at a considerable dis-
tance, as the slight shocks of an earthquake. 'lre
use of powder, however, except in opening _up
corners, has been for same time entirely given up.
Blasting was found to shake and frequently to destroy
some of the finest blocks. Drills, wedges, crowbars,
sledge-hammers, and cranes, are now principally
used in quarrying even the largest masses; and it is
truly astonishing to see with what facility even noun
tains can be removed by handicraft. In the quarry the
rocks are stratified. The strata are perpendicular,
and vary in thickness from nine inches to five
feet. When a mass is to be separated wedges
are introduced between the strata, and are driven
down with sledge-hammers until a separation
is effected. A large crowbar, well manned, is then
applied, to throw down the mass to the bottom of the
quarry. This accomplished, the next thing jis to
cut up the stone into blocks as large as the materials
will admit of; and this part of the work is, perhaps,
the most interesting process of the whole.
The rude and unshapely mass may be five feet
thick, and ten or twelve feet long, and must be cut
into the form of a parallelogram, to fi with mathe-
matical precision its own appointed place in the dock..
Holes are bored four or five inches deep, with a drill
or jumper, and eight or nine inches apart, in the
line the stone is to be split. A block of fourteen
tons is soon cut to the size and shape re quired, by
the power of ' the plug and feather. When a
hole has been bored of the required depth, two
wedges are introduced into the hole, with the
thick end down, and by driving the one in the
centre, the combined power of three wedges is thus
obtained, and made to bear upon every hole, and thus
split the stone. A few holes charged with plug and
feather will be found sufficient to split a very large
stone. In splitting granite in this way the quarrymen
are careful to place the holes and vt edges parallel with
the reed or grain of the stone. This arrangement renders
the process comparatively easy ; and the skilful work-
men can shape their blocks and paving-stones with as
much comfort as if they were cutting wood in a saw-
mill. As a pro( fof the extraordinary power of the
plug arid feather,' it may be stated, upon the
authority of the prevent skilful overseer, thst
masses of 500 tons are sometimes lifted or
removed by their aid." There is a comparativdy
narrow ridge of granite rock running parallel
with the shore from Cree-town to the entrance
of Fleet Bay, and which is probably connected
with the great mass of the same formation of
which Cairnsmore forms the western side, though
divided on the surface by a stratum of graywacke.
The situation of the quarry has thus been well chosen ;
for the blocks, when cut and shapen, are transported
by a short railway to the shore below, and there

FATAL SURGICAL OPERATION.—A few days since
a workman named Mungo Campbell met with his death
under the following circumstances :—Deceased had upon his
neck a wart or protuberance of considerable size, the situa-
tion and appearance of which gave him much annoyance,
but in no way impaired his general health. It appears that
he had applied, from time to time, to several medical men,
with the view of having the growth removed, but they all
declined the responsibility of performing an operation, as
the protuberance lay immediately over, or contiguous to, the
carotid artery, and was the growth of seven years. Disap-
pointed in these applications, Campbell waited upon a young
Irish surgeon in Cowcaddens District, at the date we have
referred to, who at once undertook the operation. Camp-
bell accordingly submitted, the cutting process was per-
formed in the back shop of the young doctor, the protuber-
ance was removed; but the carotid artery being injured, the
men died in about twelve hours afterwards, having literally
bled to de ,th. The case was reported to the authorities, the
duct or has been apprehended, and is now undergoing an exa-
mination, with a view to being committed for trial.—North

BANK DEFALCATION IN GrAscow.—We regret to
learn that Mr. James Dewar, a teller in the Western Bank
here, has disappeared, and, on investigation, has been found
a defaulter to the extent of 2,200/. He left Glasgow about
three weeks ago, on the usual vacation, but not having re•
turned in due time, suspicion was excited, and it was dis-
covered that he had defrauded the bank to the 0,

FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBERI 13, 1850.

- POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Jervis, Parnel', and Film* acbve efficers of the
City poice, having received information relative to
robberies which have taken place in chambers let
cut in offices, apprehended Mary Ann Freeman,
Louisa Gleeson, and Jane Northern, upon suspicion
of having been concerned in the depredations which
- it seems have been of late extensively carried on in
• places of the kind.
The prisoners were yesterday placed before Alder-
' man Gibbs for final examination, the first charged
with having stolen the property, the two others with
having received it,
Tne court was crowded during the long in-
vestigation.
In the course of the first case Mrs. Ann Carter said
—I live at No. 8, Union-court, Old Broad-street.
Between twelve and two o'clock on Friday, the 23d
of .August, I lost a great quantity of clothes. The
house is let out in offices, so that the outer door is
opera and I left my room unlocked about twelve
o'clock, and in about two hours I returned and found
that the place was plundered of clothes and bed-linen.
I know nothing of the prisoners.
Telf, r (policeman 443) said that on Thursday last
the prisoner Freeman was given into his custody for
selling three duplicates of stolen property. She ac-
' knowledged at once that she had sold the tickets ; but
upon being asked where she got them she said "That's
my business."
A pawnbroker produced a gown, petticoat, and
waistcoat, which had been pledged on the 24th of
August at his shop, by a woman, in the name of
Smith, and afterwards a woman named Malony ap-
peared with the ticket, and paid for having it trans-
ferred into her name.
Jervis, the officer, said—l went with Parnell and
Finnis, in consequence of information which I re-
ceived, to No. 3, White Bear-court, Lambeth-street.
The door was opened by Gleeson. The prisoner Nor-
thern was sitting at a table, apparently instructing
children. She said her name was Norton. I asked
her if she knew of any duplicates of clothes being
bought in her name. She said, " Yes, there had been
two or three tickets sold to a person of the name of
Malony, by one Ann Freeman." I then proceeded to
search the house, and in a jar in a cupboard we found
a number of duplicates; in boxes, a flannel petticoat,
a visite, three nightcaps, a habitshirt, and a bandbox ;
and under the bed a shirt. The whole of the property
so found was identified by Mrs. Carter as her pro-
perty. We then went to No. 11, White Bear-court,
where the woman named Malony, of whom mention
had been made, lived, and we found there the dupli-
cate produced.
It was proved that Mrs. Malony purchased the
duplicate for the articles described from the prisoner
Freeman, of whom she knew nothing but the mere
complaint of distress, which induced her to buy it,
and that she was led by the same compassionate
humour to purchase two other duplicates from the
young woman.
Alderman Ginas most narrowly investigated the
case, which abounded with details, and asked the pri-
soners, afier having given them the usual caution,
whether they wished to make any observation upon
the evidence.
Gleeson and Northern said they knew nothing at
all about the business, and were totally ignorant of
either articles or duplicates.
Freeman said—l sold the duplicates to Mrs.
Malony, but these two people alongside of me know
nothing on earth about the goods. I lived with them
some time ago, and I can swear they are entirely in-
nocent. I am myself in the habit of dealing in
Petticoat-lane.
The next case related to the robbery of chambers
in Fenchurch-street, which had been visited in the
daytime, and stripped in the absence of the house-
keeper, whose room the thieves had left strong proof
of having visited. Some of the duplicates found in
the habitation of Gleeson and Northern related to
part of the stolen property.
In a third case, which referred to a robbery in a
house in a court in Milk-street, part of which is let
out in warehouses, which are open during the day,
some of the stolen property was also traced to a
pawnbroker's shop, the duplicates having been found
in the place inhabited by Gleeson and Northern.
Freeman had not been seen about any of the plun-
dered premises, but no doubt is entertained that she
is what is called the " pal" of some of the experienced
housebreakers of the metropolis, and is in the habit of
getting rid of the " swag" in Petticoat-lane and its
vicinity.
Alderman GIBBS committed the prisoners for trial,
and told Freeman that she would have an opportunity
of endeavouring to exculpate the other prisoners be-
fore a jury.
George James Pocock was charged by Mr. Pope,
of Basing -lane, stationer, with robbery.
The prisoner was, it appeared, in the employment
of the prosecutor, who, having from time to time
missed packets of coppers, acquainted Barnes the
officer with the fact, and acted upon his advice. The
consequence was, that very soon after the communi-
cation was made the prisoner was taken into custody,
and a halfpenny, part of a sa. packet containing cop-
pers marked by the effacer and the prosecutor, toge-
ther with a sovereign and other money, which no
doubt the prisoner had got in exchange for other
packets previously stolen, were found in his pos-
session.
A butcher, of whom the prisoner had purchased
some beef, produced a packet of coppers, containing
several marked penny pieces, for which he had given
the prisoner silver.
The prisoner was committed for trial.
GUILDHALL.
Edward Matthew Aladdin was again brought up
for further examination before Alderman Challis,
charged with fraudulently obtaining a large quantity
of silk and satin goods to the value of about 6001,
with intent to defraud Mr. Edward H. Davis, of
No. 5, Goldsmith-street, City, agent to Mr. Faessler
Petzi, silk-manufacturer, of Paris and Lyons.
Additional evidence was adduced relative to the
other charges against the prisoner. Three having
already been completed,
It was proposed that the case should be traversed
over the ensuing session to the next, and, no objec-
tion being offered by Mr. Gant, the solicitor for the
prosecution, the prisoner was remanded till next week
WESTMINSTER.
Robert Waller, the driver of a mail-cart, who had
In en three or four times remanded, chareed with
stealing 16 sovereigns from Mrs. Allen, of the Gros-
venor Arms, Lower Belgreve-place, was again
brought before the magistrate.
The particulars of the previous examination have
been already fully detailed in The Sun.
Mr. Childe, of the firm of Wire and Childe, soli-
citors to the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society,
attended, as before, for the prosecution.
Upon the accused being brought into court,
Mr. BURRELL inquired of Mr. Childe whether he
had any further evidence to adduce? Mr. Childe
replied, none but what he had mentioned on the pre-
vious examination, and which he submitted was suffi-
cient to raise a fair presumption that the prisoner con-
templated a felony at the time he proposed to get the
change.
Mr. Bummer. was of opinion that it raised a con-
trary presumption, and said he must discharge the
prisoner.
Mr. Childe observed, that after the expression of
the magistrate's opinion it would be indecorous in
him to attempt to press his view of the matter further,
but it was a matter of lamentation that the law was
so defective. He would, however, respectfully ask,
that as the grand jury would be sitting on Monday at
the Old Bailey, the magistrate would require the ac-
cused to find bail for his appearance at this court on
any convenient day about the middle of the week, in
order that an opportunity might be afforded of ascer-
taining whether they would not find a true bill against
the prisoner upon this charge.
Mr. BURRELL said he did not consider that he was
entitled to do that, but it was open for him to exhibit
an indictment against the prisoner, if he thought fit.
As the accused was leaving the dock Mr. BURRELL,
addressing him, observed—Although discharged, you
are still under the same moral obligation to pay back
this money.
The Prisoner—l assure your worship it would not
have happened if I had not been drunk.
With this remark he walked out of the court with-
out attempting to offer any terms to the unfortunate
widow for the repayment of the money with which—.
relying upon the responsibility of the post he held—
she had unhesitatingly entrusted him.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Henry Barber, a young man of respectable ap-
pearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Ilammill,
charged upon suspicion of having been concerned with
others not in custody in breaking into the premises of
Mr. John Smith, an extensive trimming manufac-
turer in Charlotte-street, Bethnal-green, and stealing
silks, jewellery, and other property, to the aggregate
amount of nearly 1,500/.
The prosecutor, who evidently laboured under
strong excitement, stated that between seven and eight
o'clock on the preceding evening he left home, having
previously carefully secured his premises, and re-
mained absent till about half-past ten o'clock, when
upon approaching his house he was stopped by an
opposite neighbour, who intimated his suspicion that
the premises had been broken into and plundered
by thieves. On reaching the house he found his
street-door wide open, together with the ware-
house door at the side of the passage, and, upon exa-
mining the place, he found everything in the greatest
disorder ; and that 4 cwt. of dyed silk, 2,000 bob-.
bins of unwrought silk, and about 800/. worth of
fringes had been carried away. He then proceeded
to the upper part of the house, and, on entering his
bed-room, in which a large chest was deposited con-
taining valuable jewellery and other articles, which
he bad purchased in the course of his business he
found that the lid had been forced open, the hinges
having been wrenched off, and-that it had been plan-

dered of the greater portion of its contents, consisting
of nine watches, twenty gold wedding-rings, four
pairs of spectacles, four necklaces, and a large number
ofgold seals, keys, studs, brooches, and other orna-
ments. The prisoner was the son of his wife by a
former marriage, and resided in the house of his
grandfather, which was situated at the rear of his
(the prosecutor's) own premises, from the yard of
which it was only separated by a dwarf wall, and,
having reason to suspect that he had been implicated
in the commission of the robbery, he obtained the as-
sistance of a policeman, and gave him into custody.
Police constable Blake, H 30, stated that he ap-
prehended the prisoner under instructions from the
last witness, and, having lodged him in the station-
house, proceeded to search the house of his grand-
father, but without discovering any portion of the
stolen property.
Sergeant Teakle stated, that on receiving informa-
tion of the robbery he repaired to the house and care-
fully examined the doors and shutters, but could
discover no external marks of violence whatever, from
which he inferred that the burglars must have entered
at the street-door by means of skeleton keys ; and on
surveying the yard, in which a quantity of loose dust
was scattered at the foot of the party-wall, he ob-
served no appearance of footmarks or other signs to
indicate that an entrance had been effected in that
direction.
Air. lIAMMILL said, that not the slightest evidence
'had been adduced before him to justify the apprehen-
sion of the prisoner upon so serious a charge, or to
prove that he was in any way implicated in the robbery,
and he should therefore at once order him to be dis-
charged.
A gentleman, who stated that the prisoner had been
a considerable period in his employment, here stepped
forward, and, after intimating that he knew him to
be a young man of unimpeachable character and con-
duct, requested to know whether he had any means
of redress for having been subjected to so unjust and
injurious an accusation ?
Mr. HAMMILL replied, he could only say that the
young man lac that bar with the same unsullied cha-
racter he had hitherto borne ; with regard to the
application for redress, he must refer them to their
professional adviser.

LAMBETH.
In consequence of a previous application, made to
Mr. Norton by the parties, Lieutenant Frederick
Rice Stack, an officer on full pay in her Majesty's
service, accompanied by Mr. Redpath, of the firm of
Dean, Lo,ks, and Redpath, solicitors to the City of
London Trades' Protection Society, attended at this
court to meet a complaint that had been made against
him on a former day of stealing a bill of exchange for
1501., of which he was alleged to be the acceptor, upon
its being presented to him for payment. The parties
complaining were also in attendance, and were about
to enter upon the charge, when Mr. Redpath offered to
place the bill, which he did not deny his client, Lieu-
tenant Stack, had detained, in the hands of the secretary
to the Law Society, or any other respectable gentleman,
to abide the result of any civil proceedings (criminal
proceedings under the circumstances being altogether
out of the question) which the o:her party might
think proper to adopt.
This proposition was, however, refused by a person
who represented himself" to be an attorney, and who
insisted
_upon the charge being entered upon.
Mr. NoaToN, however, refused to enter on the
investigation, unless the charge was made in a proper
form.

Lieutenant Stack was then given into the custody
of a constable then in court, who removed him to
the police station-house in Kennington-lane, and in a
few minutes he was brought back on the following
charge, as entered in the police-sheet—viz., " Lieu
tenant Frederick R. Stack, of No. 6, St. John's-ter-
race, Stockwell Park road, with stealing a bill of
exchange for 1501., the property of James Jesse
Palmer, in the parish of Lambeth, on the 29th day
of August last."
Mr. itedpath complained that the person who put
himself forward as the prosecutor in this case was
merely an attorney's clerk—a man of straw, and con-
tended that the principals, who were decribed to be
Mr. Jones, an attarney, and Mr. David Hart, who
was described to be a merchant, should be brought
forward, so that Lieutenant Stack might have some
redress for the injuries dune to him, and not shelter
themselves from legal consequences by merely putting
forward a person in the station of Palnser, who was
only clerk to Jones.
Mr. NORTON admitted that Mr. Jones, or Mr.
Hart, whom he understood to be the holder of the
bill, should have attended, but, if the witness Palmer
admitted that he acted on the authority of his master,
Mr. Jones, in giving Lieutenant Stack into custody,
his master, Mr. Jones, was legally liable for the act.
Palmer, in reply to a question from the magistrate,
acknowledged that he acted on the authority of Mr.
Jones, and was then allowed to give his evidence.—
He deposed, that about two o'clock on Thursday, the
29th of last month, Mr. David Hart, a merchant, re-
siding in Onslow-terrace, Brompton, called at the
office of his employer, Mr. Alexander Jones, solicitor,
of No. 9, Quality-court, Chancery lane, and left a
bill of exchange for 1501., and which was due on that
day, to be presented for payment. On the same after-
noon he (witness) went to the house where it was
made payab;e, No. 6, St. John's-terrace, Stockwell
Park-road, and asked the servant who opened the
door to see Lieutenant Stack. He then saw the
defendant, and told him he had brought a bill
for payment, and handed him the usual memo-
randum, with the names of the drawer, acceptor,
and the amount. On looking at it Mr. Stack
sail, " Oh, this bill is drawn by Mr. Edward Jones,
is it, and accepted by Lieutenant Stack ?" and he
replied "Yes." He then asked who Mr. Edward
Hart (a person whose name was on the back of the
bill) was, and he replied that he was a merchant and
a client of Mr. Jones, his master. He next asked
who the holder of the bill was, and he (witness) told
him it was Mr. David Hart. lie next asked to see
the bill itself, and he (witness), holding it with both
hands, held it before him. On looking at it, Mr.
Stack s dd, " Well, that does look like my signature ;
indeed, it is my signature ;" and again asked to see
the bill. He (witness), however, still continued to
,hold it in both hands; upon which the defendant
caught it by the centre, and snatched it from him,
and, folding it up, said that 50 such persons as wit-
ness could not take it frZ)m him. H, then told Mr.
Stack that he presented the bill in the capacity of
clerk, and it he did not bring it or the money back
he sould foie his situation. Lie was told by the de-
fendant that he could not have it ; that he had been
waiting all day fcr it ; and that if two men came
with him he would not have h al it ; and that it. any
one attempted to take it from him he would run
him through the body with his sword, which was up-
stairs. He then asked him to give him an acknow-
ledgment that he had taken and detained the bill, but
he refused to do so, and ultimately accompanied
him (witness) to the house of his solicitor ; and
having consulted that' gentleman, said he should call
on Mr. Jones on the following morning and make it
right for him. On the following morning he (witness)
told Mr. Jones all that happened, and Mr. Jones told
him to come to this court for advice, and to give
Lieutenant Stack into custody on a charge of stealing
the bill. He accordingly attended at this court, and
had been also at the residence of Mr. Stack with an
officer, with the intention of giving him into custody,
but could not find him.

Mr. NORTON—I recollect your coming here on
Friday week, and I then told you that if the bill was
bond fide you might give the person who had deprived
you of it into custody. I now wish to ask you
whether you were aware at that time that Lieutenant
Stack was in the court, or in the vicinity of it; for
you could not have been gone more than a minute
or so when that gentleman also made application to
me on the same subject ? Witness—l was not aware
of the fact, your Worship, or I should have given him
into custody at the time.
Mr. NORTON—Then how was it that you became
acquainted with the fact that Lieutenant Stack was
here to-day ? _ _

Mr. Redpath here explained, that in consequence
of the proceedings which Mr. Jones had thought
proper to institute against his respectable client (Lieu-
tenant Stack), a correspondence took place between
him, Mr. Redpath, and Mr. Jones on the subject, and
he had also served the parties with a notice of the in-
tention of Lieutenant Stack to voluntarily appear
before his Worship on that day to meet any charge
that might be preferred against him, and in accord-
ance with that notice he was now in attendance. He
(Mr. Redpath) could not be surprised that, under the
circumstances, Mr. Jones or his client, Mr. David
Hart, will was represented as a merchant and the
bowl fide holder of the bill, were not present.
Cross-examined.—Mr. Redpath to Palmer—Pray
have you told the whole of what passed between you
and Lieutenant Stack ? Palmer—l believe I have.
Mr. Redpath—We shall see that. Now, did this
gentleman, the defendant, tell you that the bill had
been ob.ained from him by fraud ? Palmer—He did.
Mr. Redpath—And yet you have not mentioned
one word about that to the Magistrate. lVhat do you
mean, then, by saying you told his Worship all that
passed ? Now, did not Mr. Stack tell you that he
never got a sixpence for the bill ? Palmer—Yes,
he did.

Mr. NonTax—Then you should have said so be-
fore. You have been sworn to tell the whole truth.

Mr. Redpath—Now, tell us the whole of what
passed between yourself and Lieutenant Stack. Did
he say anything about Captain Wilson ? Palmer—
Yes he said that he had answered an Advertisement
in die United Service Gazette, which offered to lend
money to military gentlemen upon personal security,
and that in consequence a gentleman called upon him.
This person asked him if he was in want of money,
and he told him he was, that he had a work in the
press which he was very anxious to get out, and they
agreed upon 150/, for which he was to pay 30 per
cent. The defendant also said that the gentleman
ivhD had so called said he must have a warrant of,
