The report of the Committee appointed to examine the
allegations contained in a petition of the South-Eastern
Railway Company, respecting the conduct of Mr. Hig-
nett, solicitor of the Board of Ordnance, and Captain
Boldero and Mr. Bonham, was presented to the House
of Commons last night. The Times of this morning
publishes several letters embodied in the report—
among others, one from Mr. Hignett, which was read
before the Railway Committee on the North Kent
line, and also gives the substance of the re-
port. " The Committee," it states, " has reported
on the facts
.against Captain Boldero and Mr. Bon-
ham, censuring the conduct of both. To use the
colloquial expression generally adopted last night, the
report " hits right and left " at all parties concerned,
and the South-Eastern Conipany, the petitioners for
this investigation, are themselves severely handled, and
their conduct strongly reprobated."

the vase had been injured. We believe it Is the intention of the
authorities of the Museum, in order to preserve the vase from
future attacks, to keep it in a separate apartment, accessible only

This was the next case called on, and was one of a rather com-
plicated nature in its details. The facts appeared by the evidence
to be shortly these. Two persons, named Corner and Mahon, were
applied to by the defendant to advance a loan of 4001. to a Mr.
Basket, a builder, upon a mortgage of some property he
had ; the deed was made out in an office, on the door of which was
defendant's name, but he represented himself as acting for Mr.
Warren, a solicitor ; 3601. of the money was advanced by Corner, and
the remaining 401. by Mahon, while the deed was alleged to have been
made out for 360/. ; defendant paid Corner 81. on two occasions, in

A witness named Bousfield was called to prove that he saw Cor-
ner get the deed from defendant, but Corner denied that such was
the fact. The counsel who cross-examined the witness asked him
a variety of questions from his brief, with a view to contradict him,
but he answered in the negative to every one of them.
