caused the arrear to accumulate. in this postun
affairs, Mr. and Mrs. Duffey went into a commit
of ways and means, in which a resolution was pass
that Mr. Wilde's blanket should be mortgaged,
the purpose of procuring a supply for the service,
the ensuing week. Mrs Duffey undertook to ca,
the resolution into effect ; but, with all possible
gard to conscience, borrowed upon the hlsiiket
, the small sum of one shilling, with a view to a to,
easy redemption. The transaction coming to
ears of Mr. Wilde, he felt dissatisfied with the am
sure which had been adopted, particularly as his
Ilion had not been asked ; but, instead of doing
he would have done, had he been a Member of f
position, trying to get the peccant fivanciets out,
had them put in. .
The Prisoners were Acquitted ; Mr. Duffey, of
° ground that he had not been the actual taker of
blanket; and Mrs. Duffey, because she was bell
to have acted under the iulluence of her lord
master.

Another examination into charges of fraud

bited against Hemmerson, with several aliases,
his wife, took place yesterday.
It appeared that Highams, a sort of dealer, a
soner In the *rich, had given Hemmerson 141,
pledges amounting to 691. and which intrinsi
were _worth double the sum. Solomons, a Jew,
received these pledges of Highams, and he paid
751. ; but as Solomons observed, not in virtue of
property, which was merely placrkin his posses
for safety. Mr. Solomons agreed to give up
I property' on receiving 751. of the tradespeop,
whom it belonged, which was done. Mr. Col
houn has used every means to get' baCk the tral
people's woperty, and he has accomplished
I a great measure. The female was remanded
1 week. .

Pirouette, the Dandy, and a colt of Sir F.
mu's, died, in consequence of a solotiott of

.said to have the effect of neutralising arsenic.

a child recovered by the same remedy, who 1
cidentally swallowed arsenic. A repetition

expedient of introducing small fishes into the
troughs ; but the fact of vinegar's being an

imp
not to be mentioned, especially as ibis not gt
