Remdrkdbte Forgcry.-One Of the most
remarkable cases OF forgery ever committed
in this county, has just been brought to
light. A man named Frederick A. Miller,
jew, formerly living in Columbia, several
months ago came to this city and procured
a certified copy of deed of property
belonging to VIM. A Eckert, Jr, of Para
disc township, alleging that he wished to
purchase the property, and to know whether
it had a clear title. Immediately on his
return to Columbia with a copy of the
deed, he forged mortgage on the property
to the amount of $4,000, and with per-
son, who represented himself as VIM A
Eckert, Jr, owner of the property, he went
before +. ii. Ebur, Esq, and had the deed
legally acknowledged. The mortgage was
regularly drawn, and signed by j. W. Fish
| er and +. II. Ebur as witnesses. The mort
gage shortly after was recorded in the Re-
corder's office, the receipt in the entry book
signed Frederick A. Miller
The systematic manner in which Miller
proceeded i'll the business, having the aid
Of legal counsellors all through the trans
action, created no suspicion in the minds
Of those with whom he was dealing With
the mortgage thus legally acknowledged,
Miller went to Philadelphia and offered to
sell it to a jeweler, but some delay taking
place, the jeweler wrote to lawyer in this
city to ascertain the validity of the mort
gage, and whether there were any other
encumbrances on the property. The reply
to this was that the property was worth
$4,000 and that Miller's was the only in
cumbrancc resting on it. The jeweler ac-
cepted the mortgage and Miller got nearly
the full amount of it in jcwelry, (between
two and three thousand dollars worth, J
since which time nothing has been heard OF
| him.
The record shows that the mortgage was
given OH the 14th of June last, and the
property, two tracts of land, one of 170
acres and the other of 35, lying in Sails
bury township. Mr.. Eckert being made
aware Of the facts as above stated, denies
any knowledge of the transaction, never
having signed such mortage

There is something strange in the peril

SOMETHING FOR OUR LAWYERS.

The following paragraph relative to re-
cent rule adopted in England, deserves at
pntiOn on this side of the water -
The English lords of the bench decided
at estnilnster, about month ago, that il
vas principle of common law that coun-
ssllor, in questioning q witness, should ad.
dress him In ordinary tones aud in language
Of respect, such as is employed by one gen
deman IN conversation with another; that
such lawyer has no right to question the pri.
yate business or moral character of wit
ness, any farther than it is apparent they
absolutely affect his reliability or touch the
ease in hand aud that witness is not bound
IL answer questions put to him in an insult
ing or bull dogish manner. If forced to an
swer by the court he will have his remedy in
damages"
1t has been we'll and truly said, remarks
the Harrisburg Telegraph, there is no
greater outrage perpctrated under the forms
and by the sanction of law, than the man
ncr in which council are permitted by our
courts to abuse witnesses. \ witness up
on the stand, let him be who he will, and
as honest, frank, and truthful as man ever
was, seems to be regarded by general un-
derstanding as target, at which snappish,
Tenomous, and insolent counsel may direct
all the arrows Of abuse. The same kind
Of foul abuse out of court, would be re-
PEELED by blow or excite the use of raw
hide. Reputable and honorable men, too,
sitting as judges, will permit such conduct,
and if a witness has the moral courage to
assert his rights, will threaten him with
punishment for contempt"
