who gave evidence against his accomplices in this ex-
traordinary robbery, has been sent back to his old quar-
ters at Portland prison, and no intimation has as yet
been given on the part of the Government of any inten-
tion to commute his original sentence of transportation
for life, and he has to perform the same labour as the
other convicts who are under a similar sentecce. No
proceedings whatever have been taken with a view to
settle the point relative to the Turkish bonds.
THE PROPOSED SUNDAY OPENING OF THE SHEEP-
SHANKS GALLERY.—The Athenceum publishes the sub-
stance of the deed of gift alluded to by Lord Stanley of
Alderley in the recent debate. The following is the
clause relating to Sunday :—"The said pictures and
drawings shall be used (as the primary object) for refe-
rence and instruction in the schools of art now or here.
after placed under the superintendence of the said depart.
ment, and, subject thereto, shall be exhibited to the
public at such times as shall not interfere with the ar-
rangements of the said schools, and under such regula-
tions as the ex officio trustee shall prescribe ; and so soon
as arrangements can be properly made by him for that
purpose, the public, and especially the working classes,
shall have the advantage of seeing the collection on
Sunday afternoons; it being, however, understood that
the exhibition of the collection on Sundays is not to be
considered as one of the conditions of my gift."
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HOLDERS OF CHEQUES.—In
the Westminster County Court yesterday an action was
brought by Mr. Cousins, potato salesman, of Bow-street,
against Mr. Edwards, greengrocer, of Drury-lane, for
the sum of 101. 165., the amount of a dishonoured cheque,
on the Royal British Bank. It appeared that a crossed
cheque was given by the defendant to the plaintiff on
the 29th of August, which he did not pay into his
bankers, but kept in his pocket till the morning of the
3d September. He then called on the defendant and
asked him to exchange the crossed cheque for a plain
one of the same amount, which was done. On taking
it directly to the Strand branch of the Royal British
Bank the establishment was closed, and the cheque was
dishonoured. The judge of the County Court expressed
a decided opinion that the plaintiff was aware when he
applied for the second cheque that the bank was expected
to stop payment, and judgment was given for the de-
fendant,
