sediment has fallen to the bottom. Pour of

A HARD CASE.

Not many days ago, there appeared in most
OF the morning papers notice .! the break
ing open Of the contingencies u Nathan
llilles, in the Twenty third ward, aud de.
lection Of man in the commission Of the act.
The individual thus apprehcnded was taken
before magistrate and committed for trial.
Subsequently circumstances were developed
which show to what trials innocence may be
subjected. and also reflect upon the uncer-
tatnty Of the law. THIS man was placed in
the untricd department of the Moyamensing
prison, but being of an industrious turn, he
obtained permission to 20 to work in the con-
Wet department-his trade being that Of
carpenter. A sister of the man, residing at
Trenton, hearing of the case, came 10 this
city and obtained an interview with her broth
cr, as well as the prison agent Mr.. Mullen.
The prisoner then tnld his whole story. lie
had been working at his trade in Trenton,
when through circumstances, he was arrested,
tried, and convicted upon the charge OF for
gerry. lie laid in prison for about year,
when the real forger turned up and confessed
the crime. The innocent sufferer was then
set at liberty. in the middle of minter, hay-
ing on but thin suit Of summer clothes, lie
endeayorcd 10 obtain work, but in vain, as he
had no tools. He then set out for this city,
where he thought to meet with better luck,
and walked here, although suffering much
from the cold. Here he spent several days,
searching in vain for employment, and sub.
sisting upon the bread OF charity. lie then
resolved 10 go back 10 Trenton, and, on very
cold night, started TO walk.
On arriving near the residence Of Mr..
Hiles. in the t@eniy-taird ward. he was al
most frozen, and seeing the little clubhouse,
IN his desperation, he erleasored to get into
i for shelter. Iii this he was detected BY
the police, and Imprisoned as befure started.
q On Saturday, through The agency OF Will
