Wednesday evening last, it appears, that the existing
law, in its terms, makes full provision for the poor of
Scotland ; and puts into the hands of those who have
the administration of that law the power of assessing

savages. The geographical and commercial import-
ance of the Soloo islands, always very great, has
become infinitely enhanced by the extension of our
mercantile establishments, and our intercourse with
China. Two years ago, a very able writer in the
Indian News, in a paper admirable for its various and
valuable statistics of the Indian Archipelago, wrote
thus prophetically :—" But the supineness of Great
Britain, with regard to the splendid Indian Archipe-
lago, is quite inexplicable. Even Singapore we
owe not to the Government, but to an individual,
for it was with great reluctance that Sir STAM-
FORD RAFFLES was permitted to create this
valuable entrepot; and at the present mo-
ment, when Manilla, from its propinquity to
China, promises —or rather, threatens —to be-
come one of the most important settlements in
the Eastern Seas, we have not even a Consul there
to look after our trade, and report to Government
at home !" Have we any Consul there now ? We
doubt it; though this question was suggested so far
back as April, 1843. We recollect that, at the close
of the last session, when Mr. GLADSTONE'S notable
Fame for admitting Manilla sugar under discrimi-
nating duties, to evade its free-labour production, was
being forced through the House of Commons in
spite of its often predicted (and its now often
proved) futility, the Premier attempted to
conciliate objectors by the announcement of
some magnificent plan for sending out sala-
ried agents to Manilla, among other foreign sta-
tions, qualified to test and report upon the qualities of
the sugars to be admitted into our home market. We
nfer, though we cannot speak positively, at this
moment, that we have no Consular agent at Manilla.
" Our Gallic neighbours " (continues this writer in
the same spirit of prescience) "are more on the alert,
although with not a tithe of the cause ; and we learn
from a private source that the French Consul is a per-
son of great talent and shrewdness. As for the Ameri-
cans they never sleep. Without a foot of land in the
Archipelago, and without manufactures for barter,
they are yet the busiest traders in these seas. An ac-
credited agent of Congress is perpetually roaming
among the islands, and a Yankee frigate is never far
distant where their flag requires protection." Three
words suffice to explain the facility and impunity
with which the Americans can thus break through
the Dutch prohibitory system, when we do not.
They are not hampered by the blunders of Lord
CASTLEREAGH s restitution-folly of 1814, nor the
disgraceful and self-imposed disabilities of the treaty
of 1824.

all parties liable to contribute under it to any extent
which may be necessary for that purpose. It is from
no indisposition to do justice to the merits of the Lord
Advocate's Bill that we propose very briefly to in-
quire—on the assumption that the existing law en-
ables, es the Learned Lord tells us, the authorities
charged with its administration to assess till parties
liable to any extent adequate to the making full pro-
vision for the support of the poor—how has that
power been exercised? With what satifactory results
to the poor ? From the statistics embodied in some
of the returns that have just been brought before
the House, we collect one or two remarkable results.
Of the counties of Ross, Cromartie, Inverness,
Caithness, Sutherland, and Argyle, the total popu-
lation, in 1841, was 340,928. The total amount
received by assessment, and contributions at church
and from private sources, was for that year 7,6821.
Of the total population, 8,463 were reported to be
legally entitled to relief as impotent or destitute poor,
and more than double that number were returned as
equitably entitled to demand similar poor relief.
Among the latter it was administered to 1,174,am0ng
I the former to 4,798. Thus the average of relief
administered to each of this number of poor persons

per week was 21d., exclusive of what additions the
individual may have realised, to this legalised pittance,
by " begging from door to door." Truly the terms
of the existing law may be, as the Lord Advocate
remarked, very extensive. But the practical susten-
tation provided under it must yield but an hornceopa-
tbic aliment for its unfortunate recipients.
To remedy such a state of things, however, will
prove a task of much more difficulty and trouble than
will be readily believed by the benevolent but impa-
tient philanthropist. We transfer to our columns a
letter addressed to the Lord Advocate, which carries
a signature that needs no prefatory commendation at
our hands. We may be apt to believe that the writer
permits his solicitude to be too readily excited by
exaggerated apprehensions; but we must concede the
praise of great good sense and moderation to the tone
and spirit in which his views are developed. We
quite concur in holding that it is far more essential
well to consider and digest the scheme and details of the
new measure in this session, with a view to carry it
out into law in the next, than, from the mere desire
to avoid delay, to precipitate a vote upon it before the
rising of the House of Commons. We find it difficult,
moreover, to dispute the force of the case cited to
show that the operation of the new law upon its pre-
sent scheme and detail, may prove ruinous in some
districts of Scotland; to the landlords and other classes,
if it be modelled too closely "upon the wide, strag-
gling, and uncertain basis of the present law." In the
parish which has supplied the illustration it has been
the practice of the Kirk Session to give aid to as great
a number of the poor requiring it as it was found
possible to afford. On the clear rental of that parish,
amounting to 2,7001. per annum, the charge for the
poor under the new law would be no less than
37 per cent. Now this is certainly a very startling
statement ; and, from peculiar circumstances connected
with the tenure of land in Scotland, we have no
doubt that the result would be as the writer anti-
cipates, that although, nominally, the greater pro-
portion may appear likely to be contributed by the
feuars and heritors, the burden must really be
borne by the landowner. Again, we have reason to
know, that the possessors of estates in the north-west
highlands and islands of Scotland have, in many
cases, within the last few years, through the extinc-
tion of the once lucrative manufacture of kelp, been
compelled to abandon, as he states, their lands, and
migrate to distant colonies. How are the present
possessors to contribute from their fearfully dimi-
nished rentals, .these increased contributions to the
support of the poor ? Both these points are well
worthy mature deliberation and inquiry before the
Legislature, ere its sanction be given to anew poor-law,
however unexceptionable in principle, or excellent in
many of its details. But there are other considera-
tions suggested, of which we cannot too strongly cor-
roborate the force and importance. One of these re-
gards a great general principle, namely, that the grant
of this sort of aid to the poor, in any given case, under
the existing law, shall not, of itself, as necessarily con-
stitute a right in the same party to receive it under
the new law. The laxity of the rule under which
this aid has hitherto been extended, would render it
equally dangerous and absurd to give it, under a new
system, anything like the same application. Even Scot-
tish Jurists of high eminence have held that the relief
in question is rather to be considered under the existing
law "as an aid than for maintenance." The next
point which we trust will be distinctly affirmed by
the decision of the Legislature, is that under the new
law power should be given to the parties entrusted
with its executive administration, to fit up temporarily
old houses, and other existing accommodations, for the
purposes of poor-houses, at least for a given and ade-
quate period, and so as to give to parishes and unions
ample opportunity for ascertaining the wants and re-
quirements of parishes and unions, before committing
themselves to the adoption of needlessly expensive
constructions, devised by the costly fancy of the
parish-union architects. All these will be found
topics well entitled to very serious investigation, and
we do hope that for once the people of Scotland may
not have occasion to reproach the Imperial Legisla-
ture with its habitual indifference to questions of
purely local interest and importance to that country.

For some weeks past the French journals, and more
especially those which usually affect to be well in •
formed upon the intentions of the French Govern
ment, have been putting out those minute but signi-
ficant paragraphs which may be called the "antennce"
of journalism—the feelers of that policy of which
they are the organs—and these feelers point to the
intended occupation of a part or the who'e of the group
of the Soloo islands, at one extremity of the Great
Indian Archipelago. Our attention was arrested by
the first " protrusion" of these feelers, and we thought
it would not be long ere the action was repeated. In
another ten days, cur expectation was realised. The
object had now assumed a more definite form.

Whether because no notice had been taken of the
former demonstration by the English journals, or in
the English Parliament, we cannot say, but the ob-
ject was more boldly defined to be the "seizure" of
the Soloo islands. And last week we encountered
some speculations in the same journals as to the par-

ties to whom this expedition and the direction of its
proceedings would probably be confided. There can
be little doubt that, in due time, on some one of those
fine mornings—nothing daunted by the failure of
their hope in grasping the Marquesas by a coup-de-
main, and establishing themselves in Otaheite under
false pretences—we shall hear of our neighbours
having domiciled themselves on some island of

the Soloo cluster (not on the whole, as some
of our Parisian brethren surmise, with more
of territorial appetite than geographical ac-
curacy.) But the importance of a position
there, coupled with the anxiety and vigilance they
have shown to avail themselves of the opportunity
afforded by our successes in China to establish com-
mercial relations with that empire, they have not, as in
the cases of the Marquesas and Otaheite, exaggerated.
It is much to be dreaded that the importance of their
intention is grievously underrated by this country, or
rather by that miserably incompetent branch of the
Government which so ruinously administers its

Colonial possessions. On former occasions we
have devoted some articles to show with what
suicidal folly a Tory Government—after we
had conquered Java, and in a brief posses.
sion of three years, given freedom to its people,
their industry, and its vast commerce, so that in re-
venue, as well as in natural products, it had become,
under our rule, the richest of all the eastern islands—
we restored, without compensation or guarantee of
any kind, Java to the Dutch. We have shown how
scandalously the Dutch have since, and, to this day,
evaded, and violated, the terms of the treaty of 1824,
after we had, with almost equal childishness, agreed
to their own construction of those terms. At least,
let us profit by the example we have had of Dutch
cupidity, and, since there seems no likelihood of our
regaining Java, negotiate, immediately, with the Go-
vernment of Holland, who have interests in that distant
region, and the native princes who exercise hereditary
dominion there, for a position in
an verwhelniiog the Soloo groups
also. This is a better, and every way more respectable
a course than seizing clandestinely, and backed by
force, on the lands of defenceless

sioner Plenipotentiary to the Court of ABDERRAHMAN

:o remind him of his engagements. According
to a letter from Oran, ABD-EL-KADER is in the

south at the head of ten thousand men, and the late

attack upon a party of French at Tenez is considered
only a part 'of the plan for a new rising against the
invaders.. Several columns of French troops are in conse-

quence moving towards the south of Algeria. The grants
just voted by the Chamber for improving the har-

hours of Toulon and Port Vendr-s, meet with the

general approbation of the French press, as the object

- -
of the Givernment in proposing these estimates is to

facilitate the communication between France and the

coast of Africa. Port Vendres especially is well
adapted for that purpose. The Presse thus points
out the advantages of this harbour :—At Port Ven-

dres it is intended to construct for the present a pier
at the entrance of the harbour and to deepen the outer

port. The expense is estimated at 2,500,0001., which
will complete the amount demanded by the Alinister of

Marine. Port Vendres is so well situated that the

genius of VAUBAN, nearly two centuries since,
foresaw the advantage to be derived from it. It
is close to the frontier of Spain, at the extremity

of the Gulf of Lyons, and at a period of maritime
war would afford our steam-boats a secure refuge.
Moreover, it is even more than Toulon the centre of
our communications with Algeria. The high lands
surrounding Port Vendres protect the ships in the
harbour against the effects of the north-west wind
which sometimes blows so violently in the Gulf of
Lyons. The distance from the port to Algiers is
twenty leagues shorter than from Toulon to that
point. Every consideration, therefore, combines to
recommend this part of the coast to the attention of
the Government, as it is possible to establish there at
a trifling expense another harbour of refuge."
It appears from a report made by the Committee
on the Paris fortifications that the total sum ex-
pended since their commencement in 1841 is
108,000,000 f., about 4,000,0001., and that thirty-two
millions voted in addition to that sum by the
Chamber remain in the hands of the Government.
The following is a brief outline of the report. It
may be necessary to state that the metre is equal to
rather more than thirty-nine inches, and that the
continuous wall extends to fully twenty-three miles :
" The whole of the continuous wall is laid down, and
amounts in length to 38,625 metres. The scarp has
been commenced to the extent of 38,141 metres, and of
this number 35,358 are completely finished. It will,
therefore, be seen that the masonry of the circle is
nearly eomplete. The fifteen advanced forts are all in
course of construction. All of them have their escarpes
finished and covered with their coping, with the single
exception of the fort of Aubervilliers, which was not
commenced till 1843, but which is also in a state of great
forwardness. The counterscarps in masonry have been
commenced in the forts of Romanville, Noisy, Rosen,'
Nogent, Charenton, Ivry, Issy, and Mount Valerien, to
the extent, in all, of 6,334 metres, of which 5,716 metres
are completed. All the casemates of the forts are made,
with the sole exception of that of Aubervilliers, which
will be executed at the commencement of the approach-
ing season. As regards the buildings with which
the forts will be provided, twenty-two powder
magazines have already been built and covered in,
and two more are ready to be roofed. The interior of
these magazines will not be completed till the last mo-
ment, in order that every precaution possible may be taken
against damp. Four ball-proof barracks at Charenton
and Mount Valerien are covered in. The one is already
occupied, and the other can be so at any time. Thirteen
other buildings, not proof, and intended as barracks for
soldiers andtofficers, have also been finished in the dif-
ferent forts. Of these five are already occupied by the
troops. Five other barracks have been commenced, and
are in a forward state. The military roads on the right
bank were completed last year, but on the left bank only
those have been made which lead to the forts of Ivry,
Bicetre, Montrouge, Vanves, and Issy. The road from
Mount Valerien to Suresnes is nearly finished, and will
be in use in the course of the approaching season. The
greatest number of workmen employed at any one time
during the year 1844 on the fortifications was 11,518, of
whom 5,076 were military."
Accounts from Lucerne of the 7th inst. state that
the Catholic cantons which aided in defeating the
volunteer corps, lay claim to a share of the ransom-
money, but Lucerne is not at all inclined to accede
to the proposition. Much interest is excited in Paris
respecting the fate of Dr. STEIGER. Strong repre-
sentations have been made in his favour. Delegates
have been sent for that purpose to the Lucerne
Government by several of , the other cantons, and the
representatives of the Foreign Powers have thrown
their influence into the balance on the side of mercy.
These means, it is thought, will be ultimately suc-
cessful, so far as that the ;life of Dr. STEIGER will be
saved. The Paris Globe says it is enabled to state
that his life will be spared, and we cordially hope
that the Government of Lucerne will not render itself
infamous by carrying the sentence into execution.
At TORTONI'S, on Sunday, the Three per Cents.
were done at 86f. 20c.

But we recur to the conclusion of the paper we
have quoted for an incidental notice of the Soloo
Islands that is calculated to give a casual, but striking
notion of the admirable position of those islands, and
he relations of that of Manilla to them. " Let a
British Consul," he says, " be established at Manilla
to watch the progress of events which, under the new
relations of China with Europe, may, at no distant
day, render that settlement the most important
entrepot on the Eastern seas, and finally let the
Government take steps to acquire a knowledge of the
extent and present state of the general trade
of these valuable islands, the duties chargeable
at the several ports, and the impediments which exist
in the way of British commerce."—(How much, may
we parenthetically inquire, of this sort of information
is really in possession of the Foreign or Colonial office,
or the Board of Control, at this moment?)—" A
single commissioner, if well chosen, would supply all
that is wanted as regards trade, and at the same time
throw valuable light upon the natnral history and
state of society in the whole region ; although it
might be well that, in the first place, his attention
should be more especially directed to the principal
ports in Sumatra, Borneo, Celebes, and the Soloo
Archipelago.
Now we have no doubt that the necessity of an
intermediate station for her trade with China will be
at least as sensibly felt by France as her want of
such a station for her Levant trade. Will
she be less indifferent to national rights in
supplying this deficiency in the one case, than
she showed herself to be in the other?
If the credulity of English statesmanship be still as
plastic as it was in 1830, and again in 1834, French
duplicity may play over again, with equal success,
the game in which it so completely finessed the Ca-
binet of St. James's—touching, first, the conquest ;
and, secondly, the permanent occupation of Algiers.
On both occasions our Foreign Minister was wilfully
or preposterously blind to intentions that were univer-
sally seen through by the common sense of the Eng-
lish people. When the expedition of General (now
Marshal) BOURMONT, in 1830, to demand satisfaction
for so:ne insults to the French flag, terminated in the
deposition of the DET, and the overthrow and extinc-
tion of that Turco-African Government, it was
apparent to Englishmen in every part of the king-
dom—except the little precinct of Downing-street—
that a permanent establishment in the Mediterra-
nean was the real object of this French aggression.
A degree of natural uneasiness and distrust was
created in the public mind, and especially among the
commercial community. Remonstrances were ad-
dressed to the Government, and in Parliament on
several occasions the attention of Ministers was
that
shameless teitor,
duplicity" was being utterly
to which a
directed to the suspicious character of the transaction.
Four years rolled on, in the course of which our
Foreign department perpetually assuring all inquirers
" that there was no design on the part of the French
iger
ine territory,"
t to
bamboozled
retain
by A
French Minister unscrupulously resorts, whenever
there is a coup d'etat to be effected, the results of which
are likely to be of magnitude sufficient to warrant
to Frenchmen the experiment. At the end
of May, 1834, the declaration of the French Mi-
nistry (in the teeth of the solemn assurance which
had just before been given to ours, in the name of the
KING, to the contrary) confirmed the apprehensions
of the British public and the infatuation of the British
Ministry, The French Government coolly " pro-
nounced" for permanent occupation, and it was found
that the moment for preventive negotiation was
passed. That the French have since bungled and
mismanaged their conquest is only in the usual
course of their inaptness at colonial organisation ; but
it might have been imagined that such a lesson of poli-
tical perfidy would not have been soon forgotten.
To judge, however, by the little sensation hitherto
excited by the announced design they have of occupying
the Soloo Islands, we are afraid that we shall be little
better prepared to counteract this movement on the
Indian ocean, than we unfortunately were to neutral-
ize their movement in the Levant.
Our readers, who will, perhaps, from the considera-
tions above premised, concur with us in our estimate
of the positive value of Manilla, and its enormously
enhanced value in relation to the Soloo Islands, will
participate also in the apprehension with which we
regard the possible result of their occupation
of the Soloo territory, in an exchange with the
Spanish Government, under some pretext or other, for
Manilla. That would be, indeed, a change of pro-
prietorship by no means to be desired. But when
we recollect the paramount, absolute, and all-efficient
influence of the French Cabinet on the Court and
Councils of Spain, we must not close our eyes to
that contingency even. And who shall say that other
and higher considerations would deter the French
Cabinet from seizing so advantageous an opportunity
of Oriental aggrandisement, should it once present
itself? Let us hope the Soloo question will not
quite escape the present notice of her MAJESTY'S
Government.

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Common Jury.
STIFF V. PIERCE.

Mr. Martin and Mr. Saunders appeared for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Humphries and Mr. V. Lee for the defence.
This was an action brought to recover damages for injury
done to plaintiff by the negligent driving of defendant. On
the 11th June, 1844, defendant's servant was driving an
omnibus towards Paddington, and the plaintiff's servant was
driving a carriage from Vere-street to Bond-street, when the
pole of the omnibus struck the carriage, by which it sus-
tained injury to the extent of 191.
Witnesses having been called to prove the occurrence,
several others were produced to prove that the contact was
purely accidental, and could not have been avoided by the
omnibus driver.

The case occupied hut a very short time; and the jury
after a minute's consultation found a verdict for the plaintiff
—Damages, 191. 155., and costs.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff KENNEDY.)
GLADSTANE V. CLARK.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of 31. the
value of a number of tickets of admission to the Adelphi
Theatre, of which the plaintiff was formerly treasurer.
George Knell was called, and proved that in March, 1844,
the plaintiff took a benefit at the above theatre, and witness
took several packages of tickets to different persons, and one
to defendant, who was oil and colourman to the theatre. The
tickets were doge up in a paper, and 51. was marked outside.
The defendant said he thought it hard he should be " sad-
dled" with five pounds worth, but he did not mind taking
two or three pounds—two pounds worth were returned.
Cross-examined—Could not say whether when he took
the tickets he said they were from Mr. Gladstane or Mr.
Morgan Gladstane. Mr. Gladstane (Thomas) was lessee of
the theatre. Mr. Morgan Gladstane is his son. Defendant
served the colours to the theatre. Witness was in the habit of
ordering the goods; those orders were from Mr Gladstane.
Re-examined—Benefit tickets were numbered,and had the
signature or initials of the party who had the benefit. Those
produced bore the initials " M. R. G.," all the orders for oil
were signed "T. G." Believes that" M. R. G." is not on all
the tickets of the theatre. Benefit tickets do not always bear
the name of the party at full length.
Mr. Geo. Adam Bather—Was engaged at the kdelphi
Theatre in March last as check-taker, and had the manage-
ment of the free list. It is customary for the treasurer of a
theatre to have a benefit, but not for the lessee. The night in
question was what theatricals called a stock night,"
that was one of the nights of the season not usual
for benefits. There were advantages in it, for the party did
not have to pay so much for the theatre, as stock pieceswere
played, and they bad not to go to the whole expense of
the bills; on those nights the name of the party did not ap-
pear on the tickets. The tickets of the theatre did not,
generally bear a signature—they were now at most theatres
of brass or bone; but tickets taken at the box-office might
perhaps bear the signature of the box-keeper—they were dif-
ferent from the other.
Cross-examined—Benefit tickets bear a date, The ordinary
ticket.
By the UNDER •SUERIFF—" M. R. G." signifies the sig-
nature of Mr. Gladstane. as the party taking the benefit.
The treasurer did not sign or countersign ordinary tickets.
The cards bought at the theatre on that night would have
been different, but the money received for them, or at the
doors, would have been handed over to llr. Morgan Glad-
stane.

Edward Booth—Was money-taker on the night in ques-
tion. It was an open benefit for Mr. Morgan Gladstane
alone.

Mr. W. C. Gladstane, solicitor, produced the licence for
the Adelphi Theatre.
The UNDER SHERIFF said be did not consider it necessary
to put it in ; there was no issue on the subject.
Mr. BOOTUDY addressed the jury, and contended that the
tickets were received from Mr. Thomas Gladstane as a set-off
for part of his account, and that the custom was for parties
taking benefits to give the lessee a certain number of tickets,
instead of the whole of the price of the house in cash ; as the
lessee could send them round to the various trademen. He
considered that this was a family farce of " Raising the
wind," and the father and sons were clever performers,
either of them capable of sustaining the part of Jeremy
Didler. He had little fear but that he should have a verdict
in his favour. It appeared to him that it was an action prin-
cipally brought to put casts in the pockets of Mr. Gladstane,
the solicitor, or proceedings would have been taken in another
Court.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said the most important question
was, what took place between the defendant and Knell, the
witness. If he said he took the tickets from Mr. Gladstane,
Mr. Clarke, the defendant must have understood he had them
from Mr. Gladstane, the lessee; but the next witness had. ex-
plained that the tickets were very different; bat it
did not clearly appear that the defendant, although he he ,d had
something to do with the theatre, perfectly understood the
different rules of the theatre, and he might have st ipposed
that he was receiving them as suggested from the 1, Assee, as
Knell, the witness, was well known to defendant as. the ser-
vant to Mr. Thomas Gladstane.
The jury, without hesitatien, gave a verdict for the de-
fendant.

We have intelligence from Madrid to the sth inst.
In the discussion on the budget of receipts, which
commenced that day in the Chamber of Deputies, a
proposition was brought forward by Senor AGuAvo,
for raising an annual revenue of 150,000,000 reals
(1,500,0001.), by an income-tax and tolls at the gates
of the principal towns in Spain• The motion, which
led to some discussion, was adjourned. According to
accounts from Barcelona great preparations were in
progress for the reception of the Court.
The Three per Cents. closed at 344 for cash, and
34i at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 25 11-16 at
60 days ; the Provisional Debt at 8i and the Debt
without interest at 84 at 60 drys•

There is no intelligence in the Paris papers of
much interest. The last accounts from Africa are
considered unsatisfactory. AIID-EL-KADER, as We
stated yesterday, is making preparations for another
outbreak, and as the French Government seemed in-
clined to believe that the Emperor of Alonocco had

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT
(Before the RECORDER.)
CONSPIRACY.—BasiI Cochrane Willis and Lionel Piaper
Goldsmid, surrendered to take their trial on a charge of hay.
ing conspired for the purpose of defrauding Edmund Herne of
two bills, of the respective value of 600/. and 5001.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the proaecu-

tion, Mr. Bodkin with Mr. Charnock for the defence.
The case, which has already been frequently before the
public in the reports of the Marlborough-street Police• court,
may again be very briefly stated. It appeared that the pro-
secutor held, on March 2Gth last, the two promissory notes
referred to, and on that day one of the defendants, Willis, with
whom he had been previously acquainted, called upon him,
and in the course of conversation gave the prosecutor to un-
derstand that he had a friend who was desirous of investing
some money in safe bill transactions, and that if he (prose-
cutor) would entrust him with these notes, he would get them
discounted. The prosecutor having no suspicion of his friend's
integrity, at once gave up the notes to his custody, on an
understanding that he should see him next day with the
money, he allowing the defendant 301. as commission for his
trouble in conducting the negotiation. 'Willis did come next
day, but without the money. He said, however, he should pay
it over the moment he received it from his friend. No con-
sideration had ever been received for the notes, and the pro-
secutor had not been able to ascertain what had become of
them.

Dr. Ryan proved that, on the 2i.7th of March, the defendant
Goldsmid called upon him at his house in Cavendish-square,
and in the course of conversation relative to the letting of a
house, the defendant said that a friend of his, named
Parker' had lately been swindled out of some
bills by persons of the names of Bartlett and
Herne, and that he had employed a friend. named Willis,
to go to the latter person and get possession of the bills, by
representing that he could get them discounf-ed. This he
stated Wills had been successful in accomplishing, and he
(Goldsmid) had at that very time the bills in his possession.
Mr. BODKIN contended that no case of conspiracy had been

made out against Willis, and that Goldsmid only stood im-
plicated on his own admission to Dr. Ryan, as not a tittle of
evidence had been adduced against him.
The objection was, after considerable argument on either
side overruled by the Recorder, and
Mr. BODKIN then addressed the jury. He detailed the
history of the transaction from the very beginning, repre-
senting the defendants as friends of a Mr. Milton, who was
anxious to recover these bills by stratagem from the hands
of certain persons who had in the first instance duped him.
They (the bills) had then passed from the hands of those
persona to Herne, and the present charge arose out of the
ruse necessary for the recovery of the bill.
Witnesses were then called for the defence, and examined
by Mr. CIIARNOCK.
(The trial was going on when our report left.)
