IRELAND.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.—For the first time since
the commencement of the famine there are symptoms
of a revival of the Irish corn trade with England.
The banks in Dublin are now discounting bilis of
exchange drawn against consignments of wheat, oats,
end barley, to Liverpool and other English ports.
'This is a most encouraging and important fact,
coupled as it is with the tendency to advance in the
grain markets, notwithstanding all the alarming
predictions of such an influx from all parts of Europe
and from Americca as would completely overwhelm
the Irish farmer in his own market. Since the
great potato failure in 1846, our own produce had
been so far bele w our wants, that importations to
an enormous emteat have been constantly in
progress ; and, instead of exporting a large
surplus, the reaources of the country were ex-
hausted in paying for foreign food. Most fortunately
this drain is at an end—the corn trade is resuming
its former healthy course—gradually exports are in-
creasing, whilst food of all descriptions is abundant
and moderate in price in the local markets. I have
recently noticed. symptoms of improvement in our
prospects; but this revival of the corn trade is cer
tainly the most asitisfactory indication of a change for
the better that has yet occurred. The decided in-
crease in the income of the Great Southern and West-
ern Railway Company, enabling the directors to pay
a dividend (the first yet declared) of three per cent.
upon their vast capital, is another encouraging symp•
torn in the condition of the country.
Law APPOINTKENTE.—The sudden death of Chief
Justice Doherty, which occurred at Beaumaris on
Sunday last, has caused a vacancy in the chief seat
in the Court of Common Pleas. It is understood
that the Attorne y-General, Mr. Monahan, will ob •
tain this valuta ile post, and that the Solicitor-
General, Mr. natchell, will become first law officer
—a promotion ehich would cause a vacancy in the
representation o)! the borough of Windsor. There
is already much speculation about the appointment
of the new Solicitor-General, and the names of Mr.
Sergeant O'Briei ' Mr. Berwick, Q.C., Mr. J. D.
Fitzgerald, QC., Mr. Hughes, Q.C., Mr. Whiteside,
Q.C., and other members of the bar are mentioned ;
but there is little likelihood that any of the appoint-
ments will be n lade until the return of the Lord-
Lieutenant from the north. The office of advising
counsel to the Irish Government, vacant since the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Baldwin as one of the judges of the
Insolvent Debto;rs' Court, will probably remain so
until the return 'of his Excellency.
THE HARVEST.—There is not a single unfavour-
able report in the numerous accounts received this
morning, from an parts of the country. In regard to
the potato as welt as the cereal and other crops, there
is a general conou rrence as to the prospect of abun •
dance. The deticlency in wheat will be less than had
been apprehended —the potato crop, allowing for the
loss of a fourth, will yield a very large produce ; and
the oat crop is tlat t best fur several years past, with a
remunerating prig ;e to the grower.

CLOSE OF THI ROMAN CATHOLIC SYNOD.—The
proceeding's of tb a Synod at Thurles, which occupied
three weeks, closed yesterday by public ceremonials
in the cathedral. After the decrees of the Synod
had been signed and attested in due form at the altar,
by the prelates present, the procurators of absent
prelates, and the. .Abbot of Mount Melleray, the Pri-
mate, Most Rev, Dr. Cullen, briefly addressed the
assembled congr,T ation on the results of the Synod,
affording, as they did, " a new. and solemn proof and
attestation of the renovated youth and strengthened
fidelity of the Ce.,t,'lolic Church of Ireland," although
" it was but a few years since when religion was pro-
scribed, and the severest penal laws enacted against
its existence." A..ddres.sing the laity, the Primate
said, " You, bel&ved brethren, will be called upon,
when these enactm eats shall be published, to corre-
spond to the zeal acid fqvour of your prelates. You
will have to adopt: and to carry into effect the things
they have recomine nded and proposed. You are not
to forget that you are engaged in a great struggle,
and that it is nec....iary you should make every exer-
tion to preserve the faith of your fathers." The pro-
ceeding of the Synod finally closed by a procession
from the cathedral to the college.

THE LORD LIEMPENANT AT GARRON TOWER.

The arrival of hie Excellency at Garron Tower, on
a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of London-
derry, being expect( d at about seven o'clock on Satur-
day evening, crowd a of gaily-dressed persons poured
down several hours; previous to the appointed time,
from every farm-leo use and hamlet, to the new coast
road along which tae cortege was expected to pass.
The pretty marine- willege of Cara Lough, lately built
by the Marchioness of Londonderry, and which has
risen, as if by magic, it the centre of the lovely bay
from which it derives its name, first attracted the
notice of the multitude, who ha toned to the scene
oF festivities fromi every direction—in carriages,
cars, and vehicles 'of every description, down to the
old Irish country aide cart, grotesque in its ap-
pearance, but defer to every Irishman from the
association which it recals. The most remarkable
objects on the ch•cuitous road which leads up to
the tower from the sea are an immense rock of
limestone called the Irish Clough• a-Stocken—
in appearance soave what like a man's head and
neck, and looked upon by the country people with
superstitious reverence—and an enormous cut fur the
road, fully 50 deep, through the solid rock. The
scene which presented itself on our arrival at the
Tower was most animated, the approach to the grand
entrance, the inner court, and battery, being tenanted
to crowding by an immense number of gaily dressed
ladies, and by a concourse of the Marchioness of Lon-
donderry's tenantry, and of strangers, many of whom
had come a considerable distance, while the Marquis
and Marchioness of Londonderry, surrounded by a
distinguished circler, moved about through the crowd,
displaying the utmost kindness and satiability to all.
A large body of coast guards, under the command of
Captain Rolland, was drawn up along the coast as a
guard of honour for the reception of his Excellency.
The cannon, five nine-pounders, were under the direc-
tion of Captain Bernard, and banners and flags floated

trence to the mansion, and met him with a most cor-
dial greeting, and the cheering and waving of hand-
kerchies was again and again renewed. After
returning the cordial salutation of his noble hosts
his Excellency repeatedly bowed his thanks end
acknowledgments to the assembled multitude, and
retired slowly into the house. A constant succession
of rockets of every hue was discharged for about half
an hour, and much fun was occasioned by the wonder
expressed by many country people, who, probably,
h id never seen such a thing before. Every prep tra-
Lion had been made made fur an entertainment suit-

nificent bucks for the reception of his Excellency. I

At half-past eight o'clock a sumptuous banquet was
furnished in the dining-hall, in which every rarest
delicacy of the season, and wines of the most recherche
vintAges were combined. The table was ornamented
with a splendid di-play of plate, and over the buffet
hung a rumber of mas,ive gold shields and orna-
ments. We undentand that after dinner the Marquis
of Londonderry proposed his Excellency's health,
with a cordial welcome to the first Lord-Lieutenant
who had ever dined on the summit of Garron Cliff.
Tiae following distinguished party had the honour to
meet his Excellency at dinner :—Lord and Lady
Listowell, and Lady Auvusta Hare, Lady Anne

Alexander, Mr. Scott, of Wellsborough ; Mr. Hig-
ginson, Governor of the Mauritius; Mr. Robert
Cassidy, Captain Holland, and Mr. Lyons. We un-
derstand that the festivities are to be continued during
his Excellency's stay at Garron Tower, and that nu,
menus invitations have been issued to a large number
of nobility and gentry for a grand ball on Tuesday.
Yesterday (Monday) his Excellency proceeded by
special train to Shane's Castle, accompanied by the
Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, Lord

LA MODE FOR SEPTEMBER.
(From Le Foilq Journal du Grand Monde.)
The Paris fashions of the day run entirely upon
those toilettes destined to be worn in the country, or
at the watering places ; yet so much elegance is
maintained in them, that, in our description, we shall
but be resuming the information of the choicest pro-
ductions of the season.

For dinner or dancing dresses, a robe of white or-
gandie, covered with small bouquets of field flowers,
embroidered in c Toured silks. These bouquets are
composed of daisies, corn flowers, wild poppies, and
some ears of corn : the latter are embroidered in
straw, which, mixed with the brilliant shades of silk,
produce a beautiful effect. The body is la Vierge,
the sleeves enlarge as they reach the elbow, forming
a kind of cup, or bell. The edges of the sleeves, as
well as the top of the body, are trimmed with a nar-
row ruche of narrow white gauze ribbon, which has
an open scolloped edge. A harvest wreath forms the
coiffure to this toilette.

A dress rather in the same class is of white organdie,
with a double skirt, open in front, in the tunique form,
a berthe descending very low behind, and heart
fashion in front, the points meeting under the band,
falling half-way over the pagode sleeve, thus giving
the appearance of a double sldeve. The elegance of
this toilette is enhanced by the beautiful wreath
embroidered at the bottom of each sleeve, composed
ileat:.heaves, in straw, mixed with bluebells, which
are painted in bright colours upon the muslin. The
brilliant and velvety appearance of these delicate
flowers, which are placed at irregular distances over
the ears of wheat, forms a great relief to the em-
broidery in strew, and produces an effect so natural,
thet one is tempted to try and gather some of the
fl wers, which appear to be thrown upon the robe by
chance. The stalks of th,.: sheaves are fastened with a
bow, and long ends of gauze ribbon, which is also
painted upon the robe. Smaller bouquets encircle the
bertha and sleeves, but the one on the front of the
body is of natural fliwers, fastened by a how of blue
ribbon, with long ends floating over the skirt. Bou-
quets in the same style are placed on either side of the
bandeaux.

A robe of pink grenadine is trimmed, on both sides
cf the skirt, with live demi- barbes of pink lace, which
is gathered so as to form a fan, fastened with a chou
of pink ribbon. They are placed so that the edge of
the lace falls over the chou of ribbon which fastens
the next barbe. The body is trimmed with a traverse
of narrow lace, forming a ladder across the front;
each traverse is placed over a narrow plaiting of
ribbon ; the end of each row is fastened with a very
small bow of ribbon, diminishing in sin towards the
paint of the body. The sleeve reaches the bend of the
arm, and is trimmed with a double pagode of pink
lace, which extends to the wrist, and is fastened up
in the front of the arm with a large bow of ribbon.
A wreath of fuchsias, mixed with red, pink, and white
roses, is placed round the rolled hair. A beautifully
simple inantille, of plain white tulle, edged with
ruches of tulle, is thrown gracefully over this elegant
toilette.

For toilette " at home," a redingote of pink and
green clime poult de soie, the body opened square over
the chest, and the skirt also open, the edges being
scolloped, enlarging as they reach the bottom of the
skirt, are trimmed with a double ruche of narrow
pink and green ribbon, with a fall of deep lace
beneath. The skirt is opened over an under-skirt of
muslin, which is trimmed with an echelle of lace, to
match that on the dress, separated by insertions of lace.
This kind of garniture fortnsa guimpe, terminated round
the throat with a full lace, held up by a narrow black
velvet, fastened with a large brilliant. The sleeves
are tight to the elbow, with a double ruche to match
the dress, the lace entirely covering the arm. A
fauchon of Alencon Lice .fixed on each side of the
head, over bows of pink ribbon, mixed with narrow
black velvet, all the ends of which fall over the neck.
Thislady,
elegant neglige should be worn by a young
married of dark, yet delicate complexion, to
whom it is most becoming.

of coloured taffetas, are
trimmedy pretty
withlacds il s
lace flounces, in the same shade as the
dress. The lace most generally used is the Cambria,
which is at the same time simple, elegant, and cheap—
it is infinitely cheaper and prettier than the woollen
lace, and is now made in all colours.
The more the summer advances, the more the lin-
gerie becomes a requisite in the toilette. Never have
lace shawls, mantilles, pardessus, and cannezous in all
kind 3, been more numerous than at present; and, we
might say, never has there been a more elegant or
gaaceful display of these accessories.
We must new mention the cannezous of organdie,
with a triple pagode sleeve ; these sleeves are em-
broidered and trimmed with lace; the first descends
to the wrist, the last reaches the elbow. Tney are
fastened up, in the front of the arm, with a bow of
coloured ribbon. The cannezous terminates with
basquines, is very open on the chest, and meets at the
waist under a bow. Tulle embroidered in satin-
stitch, made in the same form, has a very pretty
effect.

The de shabille3 for the country are made of nan-
keen or grey jean, trimmed with a number of narrow
white braids ; these braids are placed sometimes in
straight lines of ten or twelve rows, or form Turkish
designs, or wreaths of flowers, round the bottom of
the skirt and the little casaque which accompanies it.
The de3habilles in foulard are sometimes trimmed
with silk braids. Tnose in figured jaconets are
trimmed with one deep scolloped frill, or four or five
narrower ones. The trimming on the sleeves com-
mences at the elbow.

The most elegant parasols are of white moire
some are trimmed with deep Turkish fringe, others
with point n'Alencon : the sticks are of carved ivory,
rosewood incrusted with stones, or a branch of coral.
We have seen two parasols made of Brussels lace,
lined Nvi th pink taffetas : the lace falls over the edge
of the parasol, and forms its trimming. The sticks
were of tortoiseshell, with incrustations of pearls,
amethysts, and turquoise. They are about the size
of the marquises—that is to say, very small, and only
designed for carriages.
Children's costumes are very pretty. The small
pardessus of batiste, with a triple row of English em-
broidery, are beautiful. They are worn over the
plaid taffetas dresses, Italian blue taffetas, or pink
and white glace, with tucks to the waist, short
enough to show the richly embroidered trousers. The
batiste and muslin dresses are almost all embroidered
en tablier, and widening encceur on the body. With
white dresses a broad blue or pink sash is worn, tied
behind and plaited round the waist. A round straw
hat, with a coronet of small daisies, bluebells, and
rosebuds : long strings to match the sash.

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
it h
referred to,
back,wloatshoonpc,e)fhe
undertookt the operation. Camp-
bell accordingly submitted, the cutting process was per-
formed young doctor, the protuber-
ance was removed ; but the carotid artery being injured, the
man died in about twelve hours afterwards, having literally
bled to death. The case was reported to the authorities, the
doctor has been apprehended, and is now undergoing an exa-
mination, with a view to being committed for trial.—.Nortk

BANK DEFALCATION IN GLASGOW.—We regret to
learn thrA Mr. James Dewar, a teller in the Western Bank
hero, has disappeared, and, nn investigation, has been found
a defaulter to the extent of 2,2001. He left Glasgow about
three weeks ago, on the asual vacation, but not having re •
turned in due time, suspci:.n was excited, and it was dis-
covered that he had defrauded the bank to the above-
mentioned extent. Intimation was immediately made to his
sureties, upon whom the loss will principally fall, and who
are eAeavouring to trace the fugitive.—Daily Mail.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MA IV lON- HO US

Jarvis, Parnell, af:d offic?..rs of the
City police, having received information relative to
robberies which have taken place in chambers let
out 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 re,:eived it,
Toe 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-strect.
Between twelve and two o'clock on Friday, the 231
of August, I lost a great quantity of clothes. The
house is let out in offices, so that the outer door is
open, 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 thf, prisoners.
Teller (policeman 453) 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 bad 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.

Jarvis, the officer, said—l went with Parnell and
Finnis, in consequence of information which I re-
ceived, to No. 8, White Bear-court, Lambeth-street.
The door was opened by Gleeson. 'Thu 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 visie, three nightcaps, a haLitshirt, and a bandbox ;
and under the bed a shirt. The whole of the property
o found wa3 identified by Mrs. Carter as Ler pro-
perty. We then went to No. 11, White Bear-court,
where the woman named Alalony, of whom mention
had been made, lived, and we found there the dupli-
cate produced. _

It was proved that Mrs. Malony purchased the
dupl:cate 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 GIBBi most narrowly investigated the
case, which abounded with details, and asked the pri-
soners, after 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 ware totally ignorant of
eith9r articles or duplicates.
Freeman said—l sold the duplicates to Mrs.
Malony, but the-e two people alongside of roe know
nothing on earth about the goods. I lived with them
some time ago, and I can swear they are entirely in-
hoetiit. I am myself in the habit of dealing in
Petticoat-lane.

The next case related to the robbery of chambers
in Feechurch-street, which had been visited in the
daytime, and stripped in the absence of the house-
keeper, whose room the thieves hod left strong proof
of having visited. Sxne 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 GIBB 3 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 ss. packet containing cop-
pers marked by the officer 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 Macklin was again brought up
for further examination before Alderman Challis,
charged with fraudulently obtaining a large quantity
d 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

dered of the greater portion of its contents, eon,•i4-ing
of nine witAies, twf,ity
pairs of siwct?teles, four ii€cklaoe,, and.Eery - tium'oJr
of gold se%li, keys, stud 4, brooches, and othz.-r orna-
men's. The prisoner was the son of his 4N 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, aod,
having reason to suspect that he had been implicated
in the commission of the robbery, he obtained the as-
sistlnce of a policeman, and gave him into cuitody.
Police. eons' able- Blake, H 30, stated that ha ap-
prehended the prisoner under instructions from the
last wituecs, end, having lodged him in the station-
house, proceeded to search the house of his grand-
fatlpir, 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
surveyieg 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.
Mr. Hamm'. 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 left 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, 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 accep`or, 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 other party might
think proper to adopt.

Thi; proposition was, however, refused by a person
who represented himself to he an attorney, and who
insisted upon the charge being entered upon.
Mr. NORTON, 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 It 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 palish of Lambeth, on the 29th day
of August last."
_ _

Mr.-11Apath 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 attorney, and Mr. David Hart, who
was described to be a merchant, should be brought
forward, so that Lieutenant Stack might have some
redress for tho injuries done to him, and not shelter
themselves from legal consequences by merely putting
forward a person in the station of Palmer, 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. Junes, 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, Qaality-court, Chancery-lane, and left a
bill of exchange for 150/., 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 payable, 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 bim 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
said, " 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. He next asked to see

the bill itself, and he (witness), holding it with both
hands, held it berore him. On looking at it, Mr.
Stack said, " Well, that does look like my signature ;
indeed, it is my signature ;" and again asked to see
the bill. He (witne.!s), 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 from him. He 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 lose his situation. He was told by the de-
fendant that he could not have it; that he had been
waiting all day for it ; and that if two men came
with him he would not have had it; and that ir 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 accompan►ed
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 Air. 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 was
bona fide you might give the person who had df-prived
you of it into custody. I now wi,h to ask you
whether you were aware at that time that Lieutenant
Stack was in the court, or in the vicinity of it; fi r
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. NOR-TON—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 (L'en-
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, who was represented as a merchant and the
bona file 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. R-dpath—Ani yet you have not mentioned
one word about that to the Magistrate. What 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. NORTON—Then you should have said so be-
7ore. 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—
Ye:?, he slid that he had answered an advertisement
in the United Service Gazette, which offered to lend
money to military gentlemen upon personal security,
and th•stt in c,am-quencea gentleman called upon him.
This person asked him if he was in want of motley,
and he told him he was, that he had a work in the
press which he was very anxious to get out, :Ind they
agreed upo! 1501, for which he was to pay 30 per
cent. The dlendant also said that the gentleman
OD had so called said he must have a warrant of
