THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1852.

SHERIDAN and the steel of an ERSKINE are engaged, the
sparks emitted must necessarily be many and brilliant.

From the encounter of two such women's wits and tongues
we may expect a rare treat—keen, polished, and deadly.
THACKERAY'S long expected " Esmond " has made
its appearance in the conceited typo and style of Queen
ANNE. Novel readers in general, and THACKERAY'S
admirers in particular, looked forward to its coming as a
rare event. It has come, and they are all disappointed.
If the book were written by any less noted person, it

would be passed over as an ordinary production ; as it is,
it may be praised and puffed by the newspapers, but it will
never be popular, nor does it deserve to be so. It is a
poor, diluted re-production of " Vanity Fair " upon an
antiquated stage, and lacks vitality and originality. Like
" Single-speech HAMILTON," the author I fear will go
down to posterity as Vanity Fair THACKERAY--him of
the single readable romance.

COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS.

Commercial affairs generally maintain their im-
proving tone ; and Money is abundant. There is a
slight decrease in the stock of Bullion, attended by
a considerable increase in the circulation of Notes ;
and the only fear which seems to be entertained in
Commercial circles is, as to the probable effect, in
turning the Exchanges against us, of the recent
large investments in foreign Stocks, Mines, Rail-
ways, &c.

SERIOUS CHARGE OF CONSPIRING TO
DEFRAUD AN EMIGRANT.
Mark Marks, who keeps a bullion-office in Castle-
street, and Wm. Fairburn, representine himself as a pas-
senger agent, were charged by Richard Garner, with con-
spiring to defraud him of a sum of £9l. The circumstances
of the case were briefly detailed by Mr. Dodd, solicitor,
who appeared for the prosecution, as follows :—The pro-
secutor, Garner, came up to Liverpool on Wednesday
morning last, from Leicestershire, with his female servant, ,
for the purpose of emigrating to America, and was accom-
panied by his son. John Garner. They arrived in Liver-
pool early in the morning, and went to the house of
Fairburn, the second prisoner, who represented himself
as an emigration agent. In the course of arranging for a
passage, Fairburn found that Garner, senior, had a con-
siderable sum of money in his possession, and advised
him to go to Mr. Marks, to have the money changed into
a draft. Witness's son went with Fairburn to Marks's,
taking with him £l5O in notes and gold ; but, on account
of Garner, senior, having more money on his person,
they went hack in a car to Fairburn's, where Marks
received more money, and gave a draft for 81170. Sub-
sequently, Garner requiring some ready cash, £35 was
returned by Marks, who gave a fresh draft for 81050.
Prosecutor, on communicating the transaction to some
parties on board, discovered that he had been defrauded
of £9l odd. In consequence he returned ashore and pro-
ceeded home ; and on returning with his son on Friday
last, the prisoners were given into custody.
John Garner was the first witness called, and he stated
that he was the son of Richard Garner, of Burbage,
Leicestershire, farmer. On Wednesday morning last he
arrived in Liverpool with his father, and went to
Fairburn's house in Galton-street. After having some
tea, his father and Fairburn entered into conversation
about America, and Fairburn recommended him to get
his money changed into a draft, as people often became
sea-sick on board, and did not know what they were
doing. Before going to sleep Fairburn said he was agent
to a ship which was going out on that day. After
having had a little rest, he went out with Fairburn, at his
recommendation, to buy some additional provisions. On
returning to the house, Fairburn said they must be quick,
as the vessel would sail soonerthan he had expected. They
then went down to Marks, the father giving witness three
bags containing 75 sovereigns in gold, and another bag
with £75 in Bank of England notes. Fairburn said they
must be as quick as possible in getting this money changed
into a draft. Had previously taken two places for the
second cabin, in the ship Constitution. Paid £lO to
Fairburn for the places and got a ticket. After getting
the bags they ran and walked as sharply as they could to
Marks's. Fairburn said they must be quick lest the vessel
should sail. Saw Marks, who came in a minute after they
got there, at about nine o'clock in the morning. Carried
the money himself to Marks' shop. Fairburn seemed to
know Marks, and said to him "we want a draft drawn
directly." Witness put the whole of the money on the
table, retaining the £lO he had paid at the shipping-office.
The rest of the money Marks took, and counting the gold
said there were £65 in sovereigns. Afterwards rave in
the £75 in notes, which were also counted. Had told
Fairburn on the way down to Marks's shop
that his father had more money on his person.
Fairburn, after the money was counted in
Marks's shop, said they must be as quick as they could, and
get the whole into the draft; and the three took a cab
and went to Fairburn's house as quick as they could. On
arriving his father had five Bank of England notes in his
hand, out of which Marks took them. Witness never
had them in his own hands, and did not know their amount.
Marks after this began to write a draft, Fairburn hurrying
him, and Marks saying " Don't hurry me ; I should like
to do it right." The draft was given to witness, who
identified it. After receiving it he gave it to his father.
We then hurried down to the ship as fast as we could,
Fairburn, my father and I. The ship was then in the
river at anchor. When we got there we got the luggage
up as fast as we could. His father examined the berths,
and said he would not go in such a place as that, but
would go in the first cabin, let theprice be what it would.
At last they agreed to pay £36 for the first cabin. Wit-
ness's father then paid £l2 10s. more, and he paid £l5
more. The additional £8 10s. Fairburn said he would
pay, and witness might give it him when he came on
shore. Fairburn said the £lO paid in the first instance
must be lost. Witness and Fairburn then came on
shore, his father giving witness the draft to he altered, as
they were then short of money. Went to Marks's, who
was not in at first : when he came in witness told him
he wished to have the draft altered, as he wanted
I £25 because his father would go in the first cabin.
Marks then gave him a £2O bank note and fifteen sove-
reigns. Marks also gave him the altered draft, and they
hurried down to the boat. On their way in the boat to
the ship Fairburn urged witness to give him the draft,
saying that they would not then allow any one but himself
to go on board the ship. Witness refused to give it up,
and got on board the ship without opposition from any
one on board. His father was dissatisfied about the £lO,
and complained to Fairburn. On returning ashore,
went to see if they could get the £lO back, having received
a note from a son of one of the owners of the ship, (Mr.
Morrell,) who was on board, to a Mr. Shaw. Called at
his office, but did not see him, but saw a clerk, who told
him that he might come again at six o'clock at night, but
that he was afraid the money would be lost. He did not
call again, as Fairburn said it was of no use, and hurried
him off home the same day. Saw his father next night at
Nuneaton, near home. In consequence of what passed
returned with him to Liverpool on Friday. They gave
information to the police.
Cross-examined by Mr. Aspinall.—His father is a married
t.—. 1....0z where sae
is. The servant woman, who was going to America with
him, had lived with him for many years as dairy girl, and
was going with him, with the consent of his brothers and
sisters. Did not tell Mr. Fairburn that his father had left
his wife at home drunk. When he went to take a passage
said it was for his father and Betsey. He had given small
sums to some of his children, and left £lO on the table of
the house. Had not signed over his property to any one
he knew of.
The witness was afterwards cross-examined by Mr.
Snowball, with a view to shake his credit, and to show
that the prosecutor was running away to defraud his cre-
ditors. Nothing very material was elicited.
Re-examined by Mr. Donn.—His father had sufficient
property to pay all that he might owe. His leaving for
America was well known all over the neighbourhood.
Richard Garner.—Was a farmer in Leicestershire, but
is now out of business. Witness detailed the circum-
stances of his arrival in Liverpool and introduction to the
prisoners, bearing out his son's previous statement.
Upon the subject of the money which he gave to Marks
at his house. he said there were five notes—one of £lOO,
another of £5O, two of £2O, and one £lO, in all £2OO.
When Marks had got the money, he, Fairburn, and his
son, went away directly to the pier-head, and came back
to say that the vessel was about to sail. He immediately
went on board. The witness spoke as to the cirum-
stances of changing the amount of the draft. When he
got the second draft he was not satisfied with it, and
thought it was £lOO short. The Captain and others ad-
vised him to come on shore, and the former came with
him and directed him to go home for his son. They re-
turned on Friday, and gave information on Saturday to
the police.
Cross-examined by Mr. ASPINALL.—Got the £2OO out
of the young woman's bosom. Told Captain Britton
that he had given Marks £2OO. Counted the money
when he gave it to Mr. Marks ; but had scarcely time to
get an answer, he was in such a hurry. Took the young
woman back with him when he went back to Leicester-
shire. His wife was quite agreeable for him to go away
with the young woman. The money was sewn up in her
bosom about a week ago. His wife had quite confidence
enough in her servant to allow her to go with him ; and
he thought Mr. Aspinall must be a very bad man to sup-
pose that a man could not go from home with his ser-
vant without lying with her. Had got the money from a
bank, and had kept it in his pocket-book, separate from
his other money. Was not drunk the day before he
came to Liverpool. Would not answer the question
whether he went to bed with the girl at Fairburn's.
Re-examined.—Can swear that the notes which he gave
to Marks were the five notes which he entrusted to the
young woman, and were of £2OO value.
Henry Murphy, a detective officer, went on Saturday
afternoon with Inspector Kehoe in search of the prisoners ;
found Fairburn in Ford's public-house, Back Castle-
street. Kehoe asked him if he had received any com-
mission for those two farmer looking men he had brought
to get money changed at Marks's. Fairburn said he had
not got any yet, but be expected some. Kehoe then left,
and witness took Fairburn to the police-office. On the
way he said " what is the matter ?" He answered that
the two men had been at the office, and complained that
they had been cheated out of their money. Prisoner
said, " then why don't you find Marks. He gave them a
draft on Barned's hank. I was only acting on commission,
and this would only amount to about 24 per cent." Wit-
ness left him at the office, and went in search of Marks,
whom lie found at his shop in Oldhall-street, a little after
six o'clock. Told him Mr. Clough wished to see him.
On the way he asked what he wanted, and I told him it
was about some money he had been changing for two
farmers that Mr. Fairburn had brought him, by giving
them a draft on a house at New York. He said that Mr.
Fairburn had brought them, and that he had given them
a draft. Witness said they were afraid it was not a
genuine one ; asked if he had paid Fairburn any com-
mission, to which he replied no, and stated that he was
not going to pay him any, but subsequently said he
would consider whether witness was to take that as an
answer. Took him to the police-office. When the case
was being investigated before Mr. Clough, he said there
was an error in the calculation of the money. On being
asked how much he gave no answer, but subsequently
stated that it was £45 wrong. He took him to Bride-
well, and on searching him found the first bill for 1170
dollars. He had previously stated that he had burnt it.
Examined by Mr. Dodd.—Prisoner Marks never told
him what money he had received from the prosecutor.
Cross-examined.—Thought it was part of his duty to
examine prisoners whom he apprehended.
Mr. James Milner, clerk with Messrs. Brown, Shipley,
and Co.: Had they been asked on the 4th of November
last to give a draft for £305 it would have been for
1.51477 55c. The difference in sterling between this
amount and the bill of 1025 dollars was £B4 14s. 7d.
Kehoe, detective officer, deposed to accompanying
Murphy, and being present when Fairburn was found in
Back Castle-street. His evidence in no way varied from
that of Murphy. Was present in the office when it was
stated that the money paid to Marks was £340. Marks
said he did not deny the amount, but £35 had been after-
wards obtained hack. Marks stated to Mr. Clough that
he had destroyed the first draft
This witness's evidence closed the case.
Cross examined by Mr. Snowball.—Did not hear Marks
say that there was one item of £5O wrong. He admitted
the money to be £340, less the £35 paid back.
Marks asked the witnesses Garner a few questions as to
the money, by Mr. Clough's permission; and the replies
that he got from both father and son were, that he got 65
sous., £75 in notes, £lOO note, £5O note, two £2O notes,
and one £lO. Heard him say something to Fairburn
about the £2OO.
Mr. Clough was called, and detailed the conversation
as given by Kehoe, adding that Marks said there was an
error in the addition, but whether he referred to the sums
he had taken down, or to some other addition, he did not
know ; nothing was said about a £5O note.
Fir, ASFINALL addressed the bench in faycur of ;:h9

prisoner Fairburn, against whom he contende,l that there
was not a particle of evidence. He had done no more
than his legitimate business as a passenger agent ; and
as to his recommending the prosecutors to take their
money in the shape of a draft, it was good advice. 1t
had not been proved that he was aware of the amount of
money paid, or of the value of the drafts received.
Mr. SNOWBALE addressed the bench in defence of
Marks, and argued at considerable length that no conspi-
racy had been proved, or was possible, from the manner
in which the whole matter had occurred. .

•Mr. MANSFIELD thought there was evidence sufficient
to send the case to a jury. Ha would, however, accept
bail.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-YESTERDAY.

IN RE AVERY AND STREET.—These bankrupts, who
formerly carried on business at Birkenhead, came before
Mr. Commissioner Perry for their certificate. They were
supported by Mr. Woodburn, and opposed by Mr. Evans,
on behalf of a creditor named Stevens, and by Mr. Hull,
on behalf of Messrs. Crowe and Williams, builders and
timber merchants, of Birkenhead. The principal ground
of objection to them was, that they had contracted debts,
knowing at the time that they had no means of paying
them. After the examination of the bankrupts on the
subject. the Learned Commissioner said he did not think
a sufficient case had been made out to justify a suspension
of the certificate ; but, under all the circumstances, it
must be of the second class only.
