where the passengers alighted they should have been
at once examined and destroyed ; instead of which
the prisoners, by collusion, continued to pass off the
old tickets again and again, and share among them-
selves the produce of their sale.
Mr. Cattarns stated that, owing to the continued
absence of the principal delinquent (Jackson), the
money-taker at the London-pier, he was unable to
proceed with the case. If at the expiration of a second
remand he should be in the same position, the com-
pany would probably have to proceed by indictment.
The prisoners (by their attorneys) urged the utter
absence of evidence to justify their detention beyond
the statements of Callaghan, and eventually
Mr. thUDINE consented to liberate the Horlocks
and Jeffrey, on entering into their own recognizances
to appear in a fortnight, to answer any charge that
might then be preferred against them. His Worship
required Callaghan to provide two sureties in 201.
each, in addition to his personal recognizances, to ap-
pear at the same time.

LAMBETH.

Henry Harvey Saville, a young fellow who stood
remanded since Saturday last en a charge of obtain-
ing upwards of 201. from Mr. John Bright, a gentle-
man residing on Brixton-hill, who has been for some
years treasurer to the St. Anne School, and also a
guardian of the parish of Lambeth, under a threat of
charging him with the commission of an abominable
offence, was brought up for re-examination.
Mr. Henry S. Redpath, of the firm of Dean, Leeks,
and Redpath, solicitors, Mr. Humphreys, and Mr.
Clarkson, the barrister, appeared to prosecute; and
Mr. Roberts attended for the prisoner.
There were also present during the investigation
several members of the Lambeth board of guardians
and many gentlemen, ' the friends and acquaintances
of the prosecutor.
Mr. Clarkson stated the circumstances of the case
at considerable length, and in conclusion said it was
much to be regretted that the prosecutor had not, in
the first instance, done that which he had made up
his mind ultimately to do,namely, given the wretched
person at the bar into custody.
Mr. Bright, who is evidently a timid and nervous
person, was here sworn, and the evidence he had given
on Saturday last having been read over, he identified
a number of letters and documents as being in the
handwriting of the prisoner ; and part of these he had
received from him. One of the documents so put
in was a written acknowledgment in the prisoner's
own handwriting, and written in the presence of a
third person, in which he acknowledged that the
accusation of an abominable nature was perfectly
groundless, and expressed his sorrow for having
made it.
In his cross-examination by the prisoner's solicitor,
Mr. Bright said he could not say they bad been
walking in different directions, the prisoner and him-
self, when the former accosted him. The prisoner at
that time was dreesed genteely, and was very different
in appearance to the present. Was certain the pri-
soner spoke to him first, and asked him for some em-
ployment - and he asked him for his address ; but he
(Mr. Bright) did not give his. He was not ac-
quainted with any officer at St. George's Barracks,
nor did any gentleman come up to and speak to him
while the prisoner was in his company. Did not walk
down the Strand arm-in-arm with the prisoner, and
could not say that he desired the prisoner to go away,
though he knew he was following him. He (Mr.
Bright) called at a shop in St. Martin's-lane, and
the prisoner rTnained outside all the time he was
there, but not at his request. He did not propose a
trip to London-bridge by one of the steamboats, but
witness proceeded by one of the steamboats from Hun-
gerford to London-bridge, and he believed the pri-
soner was a passenger by the same boat. He had no
conversation with the prisoner during the trip, but
he would not swear whether he paid his fare by the
boat or not. The prisoner left the boat at the same
time that he did, and followed him up Gracechurch-
street. Did not request the prisoner to walk up
Gracechurch-street after him, as there were a number
of persons in that street who knew him. He (Mr.
Bright) went into a shop in that street, but before
going in he gave the prisoner half-a-crown to get his
dinner, as he said he had had nothing to eat. Did
not tell the prisoner when he gave him the half-
crown to make haste back; did not say such a thing
sufficiently loud to enable the shopkeeper to hear it;
nor did he say so at all. Whilst in the shop he ob-
served the prisoner outside with his head close to the
shop-windows. Did not then complain to the
shopkeeper of the prisoner's annoyance, nor request
him to turn him (the prisoner) away. On leaving
the shop he found the prisoner at the door, but he
did not propose a trip to Greenwich. Some conver-
sation took place, and the prisoner proposed to go to
Greenwich to see a friend of his, an officer in the
College, who, he said, would satisfy him (Mr. Bright)
about the representations he had made, and as to
their being perfectly correct. The prisoner also pro-
posed, that if he (Mr. Bright) advanced him a sum of
money on some jewels belonging to his mother, he
should place the duplicates in his hands as a security,
and these duplicates he said were in the hands of a
person at Greenwich. No arrangement was made
about the payment of interest, nor was there any-
thing said about his having anything Cr the loan of
the money. He (Mr. Bright) took a return-ticket
'at the Greenwich station, and believed the prisoner
took a return-ticket also, and it was his impression
that he paid for it out of the money he had given him
to get his dinner. Would not swear that he (Mr.
Bright) had not paid for both tickets, but his im-
pression was that he bad not. On reaching Green.
wich, the prisoner told him his friend, the officer at
the College, was dead, but said that if he accom-
panied him to a public-house he would give him
the pawnbrokers' duplicates for the jewels. He
went to a public-house with the prisoner, and treated
him to some stout, and then it was that he, for the
first time, discovered the sort of character the prisoner
was. Notwithstanding hie discovery, however, he
returned to town with the prisoner, and in the same
carriage. There were one or two other persons in
the carriage with them. That he would swear to.
On reaching the Lon: ea-bridge station he gave the
prisoner 55., and he went away. Did not recollect
the prisoner saying anything on going away, but he
gave him the money because he could not get rid of
him in any other way. Could not account for not
having given the prisoner into custody on his refining
to leave him. Did not tell the prisoner on their part-
ing that ha should never want for a friend, and when
he wanted money to write to him, nor anything to
that effect ; nor did he know how the prisoner pro-
cured bis address, except at the shop in Graeechurch-
street. Soon after he received a letter from the pri-
soner, addressed to his house at Brixton-hill, and
several others were sent in succession, but he burnt all
he had received up to the period at which the priso-
ner gave him the written acknowledgment that the
charge be had made was false and unfounded, and
promised never to annoy him for the future. He
(Mr. Bright) might have called as many as three or
four times at the prisoner's lodgings to ascertain his
character, but did not call as often as twenty times.
'He sent a friend of his to the prisoner, but did not
represent him as an attorney. That person gave the
prisoner 10s., and this sum he subsequently made
good to him. The same parson was present when
the prisoner gave the written acknowledgment that
the charge he made against him (Mr. Bright) was
unfounded, and gave the prisoner two sovereigns.
The prisoner on that occasion was asked to state the
nature of his accusation, and he said if they gave him
the money (V.) he would give a °document in
the nature of that which had been produced, and all
of which was in the prisoner's handwriting.
Mr. Clarkson was occupied for nearly three-quar-
ters of •an hour in reading over the letters sent by
the prisoner to the prosecutor since September last.
They were all to the same effect, namely, that if the
sum named, and which was requested for various
purposes, was sent to him it should be the very last
time he would trouble him; and clearly demonstrated
the recklessness with which this class of miscreants
pursue their dupes from the moment they get them
in their power.

Mr. EILIOTT observed that the case was one which
must go before a jury, and as the evidence, both oral
and documentary, would extend to a great length, he
should remand the prisoner until Wednesday next, to
give time to prepare it properly.
The prisoner was then remanded, the magistrate
refusing to take bail for him.
