JOSEPH ADY.—Yesterday Joseph Ady war charged at
Office with obtaining a sovereign from Mr. Blamire, a solicitor,
lin Norfolk-street, Strand, under false pretences. Killion Ridorev
was also charged with being an accessary to the fraud. There was
also, as will be seen below, a second charge of defrauding Mr. Do
betty, M.P. the Solicitor-General of Ireland, of the like sum.
Mr. Blamire stated that a few days ago he received a letter from
Joseph Salkeld, Esq. of Home Hill, near Carlisle, his intimate
friend and relation, in which that gentleman informed him that he
had received a letter signed " Joseph Ady, 21, Hound:ditch,-
stating that he was in possession of information of vast conseque., e
to him, relating to property to which he was entitled, and that the
fullest particulars of such information would be given on the sum of
20s. being paid by Post-office order or otherwise. Mr. Salkeld en.
closed a copy of the letter, and requested witness to make the eau.
sary inquiries. Witness accordingly wrote to Ady, and informed
him that the sum required would be paid on its being satisfactorily
proved that the information offered would be of value to Mr. Sal.
keld. In consequence of this letter the defendant Ridgway, al.o
represented himself to be the servant of Mr. Ady, mud upon
witness yesterday morning at ten o'clock, and said he was pre.
pared to give the necessary information on payment of the twent%
shillings. Witness said he would give the money, but it must ht
upon the condition that it should be immediately returned if the in
formation proved to be of no value to Mr. Salkeld. This Ridgsas
undertook should be done, and received a sovereign, at the a.m,.
time handing over three pieces of pa signed Joseph Ady, static,.
that Mr. Hi, Jos. Salkeld, of Home per
Cumberland, was entitled.
as nearest relative of Barclay, Salkeld and Co. of Liverpool,
merchants, and Chu. Salkeld and Geo. Salkeld, of Manchester,
manufacturers, to i large sum of money, arising out of the an.
claimed dividends of bankrupts' estate. 11'itness immediatels
knew that Mr. Joseph Salkeld never had any relations hearing the
Christian names of Barclay, Charles or George, and he told Rids.
way that Mr. Ady was a complete swindler, and that he must in.
scantly return the money. Ridgway refused, and absolutely laughed
in his face, and witness called a police constable, and gave Lim into
custody.
Richard Marl, a police constable, 'f 102, letter F." stated tin:
be took Ridgway into custodi, and found upon him two sovereigns.
which he now produced. Witness asked where he got the mho
sovereign, and he said he had received it from a gentleman, t.
whom he had been on a similar errand, at No. 9, Suffolk.plac:
Pall-mall, East.
The constable, by the desire of Sir Annan° BISWIE, went of'
to Houndsditch to desire the attendance of Mr. Joseph Ady, witt
whom he appeared just before the closing of the Office.
The. evidence having been repeated in Ady's presence, he stated.
in answer to the charge, that the information he had furnished sr.
correct.

Mr. Blamire—That I deny on my oath.
Ady—Weil, at all events, such was the information I received.
Sir R. Btaxm—And pray how did you receive your informs.
tion ?—Ady : Through my agents.
Sir R. BillNlE—Who are your agents ?
Ady—..(smiling)—Nay, nay, that won't do ; that's a secret.
An officer being sent down to No. 9, Suffolk-place, to inqu:r:
from whom the second sovereign was obtained, stated, on his return,
that Mr. Doh, M.P. the Solicitor-General for Ireland, was the
person defraud; but that he had gone down to the House ()-
Commons, and could not attend until another day.
Sir R. BIIINIE—The Solicitor-General for Ireland !
come, Mr. Ady aims at high game, however.
Ady—There was no fraud, Sir Richard, in that case. Toe
cannot suppose I would attempt to take in an Irish Solicitor.
General.

Sir R. Maxis—Why, I don't know that. Ido not pretend
certainly to be so shrewd and acute as the teamed Solicitor. General
for Ireland ; but you once attempted It upon me, and I thought I
should have been one of the last to be selected as a person to prac.
Use a fraud upon. In future, Mr. Ady, I hope you will not trouble
me with your letters.
Ady—No, Sir Richard, I shall not. I have emoted your name
from my book. (A laugh.) You were the wrong sort of customer
for me.

After wane farther conversation, both defendants, .tdy cr,d
Ridgway, were ordered to enter into recognizances to apppear on a
future day, which they did, and were liberated for the present.

NEW STAMP Durtes.—Never was so powerful and
complete an union of sentiment or action organized upon
any subject of public interest; the universal voice of Ire-
land is uplifted against the unwise and ruinous project ;
and in the four Provinces not a single dissentient to tit,
national feeling. The country has spoken out fearles.,!y
against a tax, whose operation will stamp a virtual inter-
dict upon the diffusion of knowledge, while it offers a
premium to the growth of ignorance and crime. Tat
men of the most opposite political creeds, and in every
grade of society they are to be had, we shall find them
all determinedly coalesce to resist this wicked and des-
potic measure of taxation, though, it is singular, wide
as the Poles asunder upon every other subject of political
economy or national concern. And the reason is obvious
—the question is not an isolated one, or partial in its
sphere of operation ; it affects every human being in
Ireland : there is attached, then, to it a community et
feeling and an identity of interest beyond any other; fur
generations yet unborn may be destined to curse its ma-
lignant influence. Since that tax of detestable memory.
which entailed years of mortal disease and plague upon
Ireland, that infamous tax upon the light of Heaven, we
know of none so deservedly unpopular as this. There is
not one redeeming quality to save it front that indignant
condemnation we trust it will meet. We believe the
Irish Members are resolved to do their duty this once—
their constituents expect it—and the eyes of the country
are fixed upon them. We hail, as au auspicious omen.
the meeting in London, last Monday, persuaded that the
majority of our Representatives will subscribe to the re-
solutions there adopted. Discretion is the better part of
valour, and we can't imagine that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer will be bold enough to hazard his character as
a sage statesman, in futile opposition to the voice of Ire-
land. Should he persist in this odious assimilation
scheme, the failure must be as signal as it is merited,
and the attempt will attach eternal disgrace to the Atirut-
nistration.—Linterick Chronicle.
