Mr. BINGHAM i the r)-15 your mas:t r awaits
that the horses are bad? Defendant—lle is, Sir.
Mr. I3ixottAm--4heredoes he live ?--At Peterbo-
rough, Northamptonshire:
Mr. BiticuArsr—He is the person that ought to be
punished, but unfortunately the law will not reach him.
(To the .defendant)—lf your master ever again wishes
you to work horses in such a dreadful state as those you
are complained of working, come to rue, and I will pro-
tect you, and fine your employer. Suck cruel neglect is
not to be tolerated. You are now discharged, but let..
me beg of you, and all men so circumstanced, to act upon
my advice: You will certainly find it to our advantage.
The overseers of Clerkenwell brought before the Bench
a well-looking female, with a beautiful bf.tre in her arms,
to complain under the following circttheqances
•poor creature was married about six years ago to an in
dividual at present one of the company at Covent garden
Theatre. His habits, however, are very irregular, and
instead of contributing to the comforts of his wife and.
children, he expends the whole of his income from their
presence, and they have, in consequence, been compelled.
to apply to the parish for relief.
Mr. Stevens, one - of the overseers, asked her if he
treated her well 7—She replied, " Oh, he never scolds me,
we never have any words:
Mr. Hellis, another overseer—Does beat you 7---
" Never," she observed. "He treats me very kindly,ont.
he gives me not a farthing in money, and no food whatever.
Mr. Hellis—Does he make any accusation against
you?—" Not any," was her answer. "I never say any-
thing to him further than to inquire if he knows how we
live. All I ask him for is a sufficiency to pay the rent.
I will endeavour to support my children, night and day
I will labour for them."

The worthy Magistrate signed a warrant for, the appre-
hension of the defendant, who, if he does not come to
terms, must take some exercise on the treadmill.
LAMBETH-STREET.
110118 E-STEALING.—On Saturday, John Johnson, alias'
Adam Mumford, was finally examined before the Hon.'
G. C. Norton, on a charge of stealing a mare, • of the,
value of 151., the property of Mr. Samuel Beckwith, a
farmer and farrier at Heddesdon, Hertfordshire. From,
the evidence it appeared, that, on the 29th of November
last, the mare in question vas stole from Hoddeidort-
Marsh ; and-the prisonersbeing seen loit gyring abovt the
neighbourhood the day before,. suspicion rested on him,
and the prisoner was given' into custody on the 9th of
last month by a horse-dealer who was acquainted with
him, in consequence of an advertisement he had seen in
a country paper of the robbery of the mare, and affixing
a reward for his (the prisoner's) apprehension. It
was subsequently • ascertained that the prisoner had-
chopped the stolen mare with a green-grocer ifr
Lambeth-walk, named Large, and agreed to take 31. 65.
in exchange between her and another. On Mr. Large ques-
tioning him closely as to how he really became possessed
of the mare, the prisoner sprang upon the back of his
(witness's) mare, -and. galloped otf as fast as her legs:;
could carry him, leaving behind him the animal belong-'I
ing to the prosecutor, and alsol the 31. 65., which he waej
to have had for the exchange. Large stated, that on dis-
covering that the mare in his possession was stolen, and"
was owned, he went in search of the one he had ex-
changed for her, and found the animal in the premises of.
a knacker in Cow cross, but not 4 that knackers', 110:
added, where the machine for chopping up suasago wear:
was on. A witness to whom the prisoner had acknow-
ledged having stolen a mare from a farmer in Herts, andt,
also said he was about making 41. by the " job," but the.
parties were too quick for him, but added that his bro'
ther, who kept a beer-shop in Church-lane,Whitechapely
had settled the matter, was examined as to the.facts.
The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the rob-
bery, was fully committed to Newgate for trial.

THE EXCHEQUER BILL FRAUD
It is understood that the final and revised statement of
E. B. Smith to the Treasury is to the following effect
" That he was introducei so long back as 1820 to
Rapallo, Solari, and one or two of their associates,
That soon after, becoming entangled in accommodation
bills, he was tempted to ' borrow' an Exchequer bill of
1,0001., in order to raise money to meet his acceptances.
" That a speculation was entered into by Rapallo and
his friends, which, if successful, was to have extricated
all parties from their difficulties. But it proved most
unfortunate, and only plunged them into increased per
plexity and trouble.
"That apparently it lay_ in his power at any time W
secrete and misapply almost any number of bills, wanting
only the signature, and by a simple forgery to turn theta
into good and valid Exchequer bills.
" That no person of rank or public character whatever
was in any way mixed up in the transaction; the /Artite
being himself, Solari, Rapallo, and another individual
whose office was in Basinghall street; at which place awl
used to meet and concert their plans.
" He believes the total amount fabricated to be abort
340,0001., but is doubtful whether a sum of 40,0001. is or
is not included in this total.
" He still maintains that this whole amount has bee"'
wasted, from time to time, in gambling transactions °ll
the Stock Exchange."
Smith, in his defence before the Criminal Court, most
unequivocally declared himself, though guilty, to have
been the tempted party; to have been induced by others
to commit frauds and forgeries, from which they, rather
than he, derived advantage. In the written statetoens
above referred to he appears to persevere in' this rePor
sentation. Now, if there be any truth is this stor
every one will ask, how it comes to pass that he, an
only, is brought to justice, while all his coadjutors--t
„
men who, according to his statement, drew him into Pr'
whole series of crimes—are left entirely scatheless ?
The loose and negligent mode of transacting bon'
ness in the Exchequer Bill-otlice, as here exhibited, Is
too obvious to need remark. Not for a few months, or
a year or two only, but for along series of years, has the
facility continued to exist, by which a clerk in the offie'Y
could fabricate and issue hills to the tune of 300,0001, °f
400,0001., at his own discretion, and without detection.
It is a curious question—how many millions of E-!:
chequer bills in all hare been fabricated and put let;
circulation ? We say, how many millions? For it 1,
clear that the existing amount of 340,0001., or 380,0001.,
no more exhibits the whole extent of the fabricatieh
than the 16,292,000/. of Bank of England notes, which
were in circulation between Nov. 13 and Dec. 11 /I
represented the whole amount of bank notes made se_
circulated during the last ten years. It is clear that ;
perpetual system of issuing, redeeming, cancelling, en
replacing must have been in operation for the last dote'
or twenty years, and it is a moderate supposition to cola'
elude the total amount to have been from five to ten 10:
lions! But, if this be so, what sort of a figure does on'
Exchequer Bill-office cut ?

~,HRISTMAS GAIETY.—Tne gaiety, that reig'
supreme at this jocund period of the year, when frien,„
and lovers congregate at the social board, or whirl 1"
the, giddy mazes of the dance, renders a strict attentir
to the toilet more desirable than at other periods. It lt„i;
thee, at this gay time that the virtues and singula%
happy properties of Rowland's Kalydor and Ito ban
Macassar Oil shine pre-eminent in their rtywers, and ti;
white and swap-like neck, no less than the rich luxiihri; •
ant tress, form happy trophies of their inestiffia,
powers. As appropriate presents, therefore, to the 17'
dies, they claim peculiar attention.
