IN THE SOUTH OF DEVONSHIRE.

The COLLATON KIRKHAM ESTATE, DIVIDED, INTO
LOTS, ALTOGETHER ELEVEN HUNDRED ; and SE-
. _ . _

YEN ACRES, ALL FREEHOLD; also the MANORIAL
RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES. The tenantry are unexception-
&ale, and the quality of the soil not to be surpassed throughout
Devon. There are 100 ACRES of WOODS and PLANTA-
TIONS, with the entire village, of ,COLLATON, Ihree Mtles
from Torquay.
B. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to offer
to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Seven Stars Hotel,
Totncss, Devonshire, on SATURDAY, September 3, at One o'clock
most punctually, and in Lots,
EACH FARM TO FORM A SEPARATE LOT,

A SINGULARLY ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD ESTATE,
which, it may he stated, stands alone
THROUGHOUT DEVON'S FAVOURED LAND AS AN

INVESTMENT WHEREIN DOUBT AND UNCER-
TA INTY ARE ENTIRELY REMOVED. "

And it is fortunately without the alloy of a mansion and its conse.
quent expense. It comprehends altogether about
ELEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVEN ACRES

Of MEADOW, PASTURE, ORCHARD, and WOOD LANDS,

DIVIDED INTO CONVENIENT FARMS,

which are most respectably occupied at rents capable of very consi.
derable increase; indeed, on the determination of the leases, at
LEAST 2,0001, A-YEAR, MAY BE CONTEMPLATED

FOR THE WHOL'2..

The property will be divided as follows :
Lot 1. The Manor of Collaton Kirkham, with a Farm of 447
Acres, a good farm.housc, and all requisite baildings, called Blagdon
Barton. The land includes some fine orcharding, and the soil is
so rich that the best bullocks at Smithfield may be traced fro m.
Paynton. The tenant is a first-rate Yeoman. Mr. Searle would
never condescend to ask for or receive any abatement. It is called
the Pet Farm of the property, and the estimated value is 600
guineas a-year.
Lot 2. Collaton Farm and Buildings, with 217 Acres of un.
commonly fine land. It is a capital Sheep Farm, with fine Wheat
Land, and good Orcharding.
Lot 3. Lower Yalberton Farm, and 304 Acres of rich land. A
Sheep and Corn Farm. Gabriel Jackson, the tenant, is a scientific
farmer, and a man of wealth.
Lot 4. Whitehill, a new and very compact farm-house and
buildings, with 132 Acres of good land. Mr. Elliott is the respect-
able tenant. .

Also, in six smaller Lots, the Royal Oak Inn, the Parker Arms
Besides this

THE COLLATON KIRKHAM ESTATE INCLUDES
THE WHOLE VILLAGE OF COLLATON.
Of the situation of this estate it would be difficult to speak in
adequate terms. Dartmouth and Totness arc close at hand, and
Exeter within a drive of two hours, and

THE METROPOLIS OF LONDON WITHIN EIGHT

HOURS' R,IDE.

THE TENANTRY ARE ALL FIRST.RATE MEN, AND
THERE IS NOT A SOLITARY ARREAR UPON
THE ESTATE.

The Markets everywhere are very favourable to the Farmers.
THE UNRIVALLED DART

Winds its rapid and circuitous course through
WOODLAND SCENERY OF SURPASSING BEAUTY,

and presents a constant accession of fresh delight.

THE PACKET STATION,

it is said, is finally fixed at Dartmouth: There is
A MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS
which will not be disregarded. The grazing portion of the land Is
unsurpassable. The produce from the meadow land
EXCEEDS TWO TONS PER ACRE,

while the corn lands produce from four to five quarters of wheat
and barley. It has beside 10 Acres of new orchard and 16 of woods
and plantations.
Thus terminates a very imperfect representation of a most de-
sirable investment,
WHICH IS DIVIDED INTO LOTS,
AND EACH FARM SOLD SEPARATELY.

Particulars, with descriptive plans, to be had at the New London
Hotel, Exeter ; Royal Hotel, Plymouth ; Golden Lion, Ashburton ;
the best Hotels and Libraries at the cluster of watering.places In

This Company, established by Act of. Parliament, affords
the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in
the great success which has attended it, since its commence-
ment in 1834.
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Share-
holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 2/. per
Cent, per Annum, from the date of the policies to those par-
lies who had insured with Profits.
The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scale,
and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the
Insurance is for life.
The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence-
ment of the Company in March 1.834, to the 31st December
1840, is as follows:

where the Bcnus is held out as a main inducement, would cost
him 131. 7s. 4d., or, in other words, for the same annual pre.
mium he could at this Office assure very nearly 6001., whereby
he derives AN IMMEDIATE AND CERTAIN BONUS

" The Author is evidently a man of thorough knowledge
and much observation in his profession ; he writes with unaf-
fected case and agreeable fluency ; and he has most f3licitonsly
achieved the difficult task of treating on the almost sacred sub-
jects of his book with the minuteness and plainness necessary,
and yet with the delicacy so desirable."—Patriot, Dec. 23,1841.
" This little volume ought to be put into the hands of overy
young married female. It is what. it professes to be, a lllecli-
cal Guide to Mothers—not to be misunderstood, confidently to
be trusted. It may save many an anxious thought, and pre-
vent many a disastrous termination of a state full of interest,
and not without some danger."—Nonconformist, Dec. 29.
" We heartily wish a good sale to the ' Metii..:al Guide fur
Mothers ;' it would be a judicious present to young wives, for
they can in it read many things that could not well be told, and
it could save not only many a guinea to the doctor, but also
much useless danger and terror."—Sunday Times.

DREADFUL DEATH Tito:4 SWALLOWING VITRIOLIC
AClD.—Yesterday one of . the mechanics employed in
the moulding department of Woolwich Dockyard died
tin the Marine Hospital, in consequence of the extensive
internal injuries he received by swallowing a large quan-
tity of vitriolic acid. The deceased, it appears; was at
work in the workshops of • the moulding depart!! ent,
and, becoming thirsty, he took up a mug containing
that destructive liquid, conceiving it to be spring water,
and took a draught, which burnt his mouth and throat
in a dreadful manner. He Was conveyed to the hospital,
where every attention was paid, but after lingering for
nearly 40 hours he expired, having suffered the greatest
agonies. It appears the acid is an article frequently re-
quired in the work. The deceased, whose name w:.s
Edward Nicholson, was a young man only 25 years of
age, and had but recently been married.

EXCHEQUER BILLS FRAUD.
REPORT.
TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
(Continued from The Sun of Thursday)
In January, 1841, Mr. John Mollett, merchant
and agent for the house of Steiglitz, at St. Peters-
burgh, laid out 130001., the .moneys of that house,
by lending the same to Mr. Simonds, a broker in the
Russian trade, at 5f per cent. per annum for a fort-
night, secured by a deposit of thirteen instruments,
purporting to be Exchequer bills for 1,0001. each,
which loan was afterward.; from time to time conti-
nued at 5 .per cent., but in other respects on the same
terms.

These instruments had been received by Mr. Si-
monds from Mr. De Berckerh, the former acting as
bi-olcer for the latter in this transaction, and receiving
a difference.of interest at the rate of .half per cent.
per annum by way of commission ; and the fact that
the money Was borrowed for Mr. De Berckem was
communicated to Mr. Mollett at the time, and Mr.
Mollett ultimately adopted Mr. De Berckem as the
party responsible to him for repayment. Previous to
this transaction Mr. Monett had frequent dealings
with Mr. Simonds, and was personally acquainted
with Mr. De Berckem, but had had no dealings with
the latter. Mr. Simonds also was personally ac-
quainted- with Mr. De Berckem; but there had been
no previous dealings between them. -
In April and May 1841, Mr, Mollett obtained
advances of money in. his own name -from Messrs,
Currie and Co., bankers, amounting altogether to the
sum of 13,0001.; and the_ advances were at 44- and 5
per cent., subject to a reeal on one day's notice by
either party, and were secured by a deposit in his
own name, of the same bills which had been received
through Mr. Simonds from Mr. De Berckem. Of
these advances, 9,0001. was in the June following paid
off, Mr. Mollett at the same time obtaining a new ad-
vance from Mr. Henry Currie on his separate account
of 6,0001. at 5 :per cent., subject to recal as above
stated; and for his security leaving in deposit with
the firm six of the instruments above mentioned—so
that ten bills then remained on depOsit with Messrs.
Currie and Co. on the joint and several account.
On the 7th. June, 1941 (the period for the June
exchanges of Exchequer bills being then arrived),
Mr. Mollett retired two of the ten bills, and replaced
them by Nos. 8,445 and 8,446 (part of those now in
question), and afterwards, on the 24th June following,
retired the other eight and replaced them •by Nos.
7,057-7,064 (the -remainder of those now in ques-
tion); the numbers thus delivered in lieu 'of the for-
mer ones having been received for the purpose by Mr.
Mollett for Mr. Simonds, and by Mr. Simonds from
Mr. De Berekem. The 24th of 'June, on which the •
last substitution took place, was after the period al-
lowed for the exchange of June bills at the Paymas-
ter's office ; and it appears that, before that period had
elapsed, an inquiry had been made by Messrs. Currie
and Co. of Mr. Mollett whether they should them-
' selves send up the bills, and upon this inquiry being
transmitted to Mr. De Berckem through Mr.-Simonds
the proposal had been declined by Mr. De Berckem ;
in consequence of which, Mr. Simonds had informed
Mr. Mollett that it was not necessary to send- the
bills up, who had returned an answer to the same
effact to Messrs. Currie and Co. But upon the exa-
mination of the several parties (to which we refer),
we are satisfied that these circumstances excited no
suspicion at the time, in the minds of Messrs. Currie
and C 0.., or of Mr. Mollett, or of Mr. Simonds.
On the 24th October, 1841, Messrs. Currie and Co.
• applied to Mr. Mollett for repayMent, when he re-
quested them to sell the bills in their hands. Mr.
Adam Hilton, their broker, accordingly sold by their
direction five of the bills (Nos. 7,058-7,062) to Mr.
Isaac Hensley, of the Stock Exchange, and five of
them (Nos. 7,057, 7,063; 7,064, 8,445, 8,446), to
William Scott and Son, of the Stock Exchange; all
parties being at the time aware that rumours had
begun to prevail that there were Exchequer bills impro-
perly in circulation, but the purchasers relying on the
respectability of Messrs. Currie and Co., as a sufficient
guarantee of the bills in question. The bills pur-
chased by Mr. Hensley remained in his hands until
the public discovery of the fraud, when the same
being found not to coincide with the counterfoils, he
claimed and received back from Messrs. Currie and
Co., the amount of the purchase money, 5,8601. 17s. 6d.
The bills purchased by W. Scott and Son, were re-
sold by them to other parties, four of them to James
Cape!, as broker to Messrs -Coutts and Co., and the
other to Messrs. Thomas and Co. ; and these also being
found not to coincide with the counterfoils, were re-
turned by the purchasers in succession, upon Messrs.
Currie and Co., who have consequently, refunded to
W. Scott and Son the amount of the purchase money,
5,1041. 6s. 3d.
Under these circumstances Messrs. Currie and
Co., and Mr. Henry Currie become respectively
claimants on the whole of the bills in question.

CASE IV.
No. 8,283. (1 Bill.)

Claimant.—David Neves Henriques, Esq.
Series of Holders.—D. N. Henriques, Harry Tom-
kins, F. T. De Berckem, William Mariner, E. Ra-
pall o.
D. N. Henriques, Esq., formerly a merchant in
Jamaica, but of late resident in England, wishing to
invest 1,0001. for a temporary purpose in the purchase
of an Exchequer-bill, communicated this on the 21st
of April, 1841, to Mr. Harry Tomkins (referred to
in Case I.), whom he had been in the habit of em-
ploying as his stockbroker. Mr. Tomkins in-
formed him that the premium was then 15s. per
cent., and this being higher than suited the
object of Mr. Henriques, he declined making the
purchase. Mr. Tomkins then stated that he thought
Mr. Henriques could accomplish all he desired, by
lending out the money on an Exchequer bill for a
month, with power to call it in at the expiration of
that period at one day's notice, and said that he would
himself take the loan on those terms, paying interest
at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum. To this sugges-
tion Mr. Henriques acceded, and, in pursuance of it,
handed over to him on the same day the sum of 1,000/.,
receiving from him on the other hand a deposit of the
bill in question, which remained in the hands of Mr.
Henriques until the public discovery of the fraud.
This bill had been originally deposited with Mr.
Tomkins by Mr. De Berckem, in the course of the
transactions between those parties described in Case 1,
and is comprised in the accounts of these transactions,
set forth at pp. 292 and 356. It was afterwards de-
posited by Mr. Tomkins with Messrs. Stone, Martin,
and Co., bankers, being one of a considerable number
of instruments purporting to be Exchequer bills, on
which he from time to time procured loans from them
in his own name, but on behalf of Mr. De Berckem
(an account of which loans will be found in the evi-
dence of Mr. Dobson, p. 76), and it was redeemed from
that bank by Mr. Tomkins, for the purpose of the de-
posit with Mr. Henriques above-mentioned.
CASE V.
No. 7 l 02. (1 Bill.)

Claimant.—Mr. Thomas Boys.
Series of Holders.—Thomas Boys, William Dob-
son, Harry Tomkins, F. T. De Berckem, William
Mariner, E. Rapallo.
Mr. Thomas Boys, clerk in the house of Messrs.
Baring, Brothers, and Co., having 1,0001. disengaged,
applied to William Dobson, chief cashier in the house
of Messrs. Stone, Alartin, and Co., for his advice as to
its employment for a short period. Mr. Dobson said,
that he had recently lent the same amount on the
security of an Exchequer bill, and that he had no
doubt he could procure a borrower of Mr. Boys's money
on similar security, at the interest of 4 per cent. per
annum. Mr. Boys acceded to this proposal, and in
pursuance of it he soon afterwards, viz. 14th October,
1841, handed over to Mr. Dobson the 1,0001., and re
ceived from him the bill in question 03 a security for
the repayment of that sum, with interest at four per
cent., the money to he repaid at one day's notice by
either of the parties. The bill remained in Mr.
Boys's hands until the public discovery of the forgeries.
The name of the borrower was not stated by Mr.
Dobson, but he had in fact made the loan to Mr.
Tomkins (referred to in Case 1.), with whom he was
well acquainted ; and Mr. Tomkins had borrowed the
money in his own name, but on account of Mr. de
Berckem, obtaining a deposit of the bill from the
latter, in the course of those transactions with him
that are stated in Case .I.—(See the accounts set forth
at pp. 292 and 356.)

business of stockbrokers and money dealers,• Oil

the difficulties in which they . have been involveir as
holders of the nine bills now-in question, and as ntgo-
ciators in manner hereafter mentioned of thers
comprised in the schedule to the Act of Parli,
As to the first set of bills the -facts are the.
IL -a W
Messrs. nd m. 'lichens and Harr'
been in the habit, for several years prior t
1841, viz., from .1835 downwards; of lending

sums of mone): to Mr. E. 14. Morgan (mentio-na

had

Case I.) on the deposit partly ofExchequer
partly of stock ; and upon all these occasions, as well
as on those 'occurring from May to October, 1841, as
hereinafter mentioned, the money was borrowed by
him in his own name, but on behalf of the firm of
Messrs. %Vm. and James Morgan, to whom he ac-
cordingly handed it over, and from whom he received
on every occasion such securities as were given in
deposit upon the several loans.
Between 13th May and 14th October (both inclu-
sive) Messrs. It. and W. Hichens and Harrison made
advances to E. L. Morgan to the aggregate amount
of 59,500/., at such dates, and for such periodi, and
at such rates of interest as set forth in the account
p. 246 ; and received from him by way of security
from time to time, deposits of sixty instruments, as
there also set forth, purporting to be Exche-
quer bills (viz. fifty-nine for 1,000/. each, and one
purporting to be an Exchequer bill for 500/.) twelve of
which were afterwards taken away, and twelve others '
substituted by Mr. E. L. Morgan at the June ex
change of 1841. Of the sixty bills thus left with
them in deposit (after allowing for the substitutions),
ten were redeemed by Mr. E. L. Morgan, forty-three
were negociated by Messrs. R. and W. Hitehens and
llarrison to other parties, one (being the bill for
500/. which was ascertained to be good) was sold on
the discovery of the fraud, and the other six (being
the first set of bills now in question) remained at that
period in their own hands.

As to the second set of bills the facts are as follows :

On the 21st of October, 1841, and before the dis-
covery of the fraud, Messrs. R.. and W. liitchens and
I larrison advanced to Mr. J. Wray Scott (with whom
they had some previous dealings of the same kind)
3,0001. at the interest of five per cent. until the 26th
of October following ; and received from him a de-
posit of three instruments purporting to be Exch-equer
bills, being the second set of bills now in question,
which remained in their hands at the time of the'spub-
lie discovery of the fraud.
Mr. Scott (who was a stockbroker, and member of
the Stock Exchange) received these bills on the same
21st of October from F. T. De Berckem, for whom he
had been in the habit since November, 1839, of pro-
curing money on loan, secured by deposits of Ex-
chequer bills (or instruments purporting to be such),
the nature of the dealings between these partieS (which
was according to the usual course of business) .being
as follows, that Mr. Scott borrowed the money in his
own name (without mention of Mr. De Berckem),
depositing for that purpose the bills which he had
previously received from Mr. De Berckem ; while, on
the other hand, he charged Mr. de Berckem as on a
loan from himself, Mr. Scott, secured by a deposit of
the same bills, but with a difference of interest in his
own favour at the rate of half per cent. per annum.
It was in the course of these transactions that Mr.
Scott received from Mr. De Berckem the second set
of bills now in question. (See Scott's Account A,
p. 154 ; Scott's Account, Table 11., p. 359 ; F. T. De
Berckem's Account, Table 1., p. 358.)
In respect of this second set of bills, Messrs. and
W. Ilitchens and Harrison have received from Mr.
Scott reimbursement to the extent of 600/.
CASE VII.

No. 7,073. (1 Bill.)
Claimant—Henry Maynard, Esq.
Series of Holders—Henry Maynard, William and
James Morgan, E. Rapallo.
Mr. Maynard, who is in mercantile business, having
1,0001. which he wished to lay out at interest, applied
on the subject to Mr. J. W. Cook (mentioned in Case
I.), with whom he had been personally acquainted
for twenty-four or twenty-five, years, and whom he
had before employed to lend out money for him on se-
curity. Ile placed the above-mentioned sum in Mr.
Cook's hands on the 14th of September, 184.1, with a
request to obtain for him five per cent. interest, on
such security as Mr. Cook might think fit, with power
to the lender to recal the loan at three days' notice.
Mr. Cook accepted this commission, and on the
same 14th September, and before the public discovery
of the fraud, placed the money with his employers,
Messrs. William and James Morgan, .1)- way of loan
to them from Mr. Maynard upon the terms above-
mentioned, and about the 28th October following
(being after the public discovery of the fraud), made
an entry in his books, by consent of his employers,
appropriating the bill in question to Mr. Maynard's
account, as a security for such loan ; and delivered it
over shortly afterwards to Mr. Maynard upon the
application of the latter to ascertain what had been
done with his money; Mr. Cook at the same time ex-
pressing to Mr. Maynard an apprehension that the
bill in question was one of those on which there was
considerable doubt. The bill at the time of such ap-
propriation had been lying in the hands of Mr. Cook
since the 21,4 of October then last (when the fraud
was still undiscovered), among other similar bills de-
posited by Rapallo with Messrs. W. and J. Morgan,
for the purpose of raising money upon them, and
which Mr. Cook, as their clerk, had in his possession
accordingly,

PUBLIC MORALITY-

A. PICTURE OF THE TORIES DRAWN BY
ONE OF THEIR- OWN PARTY.

It is with no little reluctance that we notice in this
part of our paper a subject so entirely disgusting as
the trial of one Nicholas Suisse, valet to the late Mar-
quis of Hertford, on the suspicion of having stolen
coupons to the amount of 100,000 francs. But there
are peculiarities about the result of the case which
ought not to be passed over in silence, though they
oblige us to recapitulate some of the most humiliating
parts of the evidence which was yesterday laid before
the public.
This man, Nicholas Suisse, being put on his trial,
was defended by Mr. Thesiger, who brought witnesses
to show both the :probability and the tact that the
money had been given to Suisse by the Marquis—
witnesses who, in the words of the 'Learned Counsel,
" had known the prisoner for many years, • and
would give him the highest character for honesty
and integrity." One of these witnesses, a woman of
the name of the name of Borel, or Bourelle, who had
been mistress—or rather a mistress of the Marlluis's
—for seven or eight years, "since the age of 16,"
deposed, with another woman of the name Of Dubois,
who " was travelling with" the Marquis of Hertford
and Mademoiselle Borel, to having heard the Mar-
quis; mention that he had given Suisse about 100,000
francs in coupons. And • a .fellow-servant, named
Foote, of course to account for this profusion, gave
the following evidence :
" I was in the habit of attending about the person of
the Marquis during the last four years. The prisoner
was his chief attendant, and acted as his steward ; in
fact, he was the house steward. . . The
Marquis was very much attached to him, more particu-
larly during the last few years of his life. The Marquis
was in the habit of having females at his residence, and
he was also in the habit of travelling on the Continent
with theta. The prisoner had the management of all those
delicate affairs. No other person was employed •about
such affairs. The Marquis was not able to go about
without assistance during the last years of his life.
. . . Some of the females above alluded to were
in the habit of visiting the Marquis at Dorchester-house
up to the time of his death. A female, called llenriette,
was in the house at the time of the Marquis's death.
There was a back entrance to the house, through which
the ladies entered at night and left in the morning."
This picture of the last days of the Marquis of
Hertford is not a pleasing one. Nor is the capacity
in which Nicholas Suisse acts one which even the
world ordinarily looks upon with a very favouring
eye. Certain other more disgusting perhaps, though
less disgraceful, offices, rendered necessary by his
master's absolute infirmity, are mentioned as giving
an additional claim upon his generosity. It is fair to
add also, that he appears to have incurred some risk
in landing the Marquis at Ramsgate some time pre-
vious. Such is the sum total of the merits of Ni-
cholas Suisse.
_ _ _

And now let us hear the judgment authoritatively
delivered from the bench by the Lord Chief Baron
upon these services. " The prisoner," said Lord
Abinger, in directing his acquittal, " there could be
no doubt, had been an invahroble serrant to his master,
and it was his duty to provide liberally for him under
the circumstances." " Very important and raluableser-
vices had been performed since November 1839,
and it was only right to infer that for such -ser-
vices his master would reward
