MAHON V. GRAHAM.

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 Mahan, were
applied to by the defendant to advance a loan of 4001. to a Mr.
Basket, a builder, upon a mortgage of some property be
had ; the deed wasmade out in an office, on the door of which was
defendant's name, but• he represented himself as acting for Mr.
Warren; a solicitor; 8601. of the money-Wasadvanced by Corner, and
theeemainhig•4ol. by Mandtr, while the'deed Was alleged to havebeen
,made out for 3601.; defendant paid Corner 8/..0r1 two -occasions, in
lieu of 101., being the amount"of the money advanced to Basket,
who died In 1848, but Corner said he never got the deed.
A Witness named Bousfield was called to prove that he saw COI,
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..

The Court was occupied the greater part of the day with the cast.

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
Bolder() 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 Company, the petitioners for
this investigation, are themselves severely handled, and
their conduct strongly reprobated."
THE BRITISH MUSEUM _Mr, J. Doubleday has
at length completed his labours upon the Portland vase. Mr.
Doubleday has accomplished his undertaking In so masterly a man-
ner, that it would defy even the most critical to discover where
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
by tickets.
PRICE OF BREAD—'lhe price of the four-pound
loaf in Edinburgh was raised a halfpenny on Monday last. It is
