Liability Of Book Keepers.

( A case of some interest to mer.
lchaEts was decided 10 Philadelphia,
recently, by Judge Ladlow. Th7
ttdectNOn turns upoh the liability OF
book keepers and confidential clerks.
! The case was that Of Edwin r.
lBiles, who wastried and convicted OF
forgery, and tho decision was render.
ed on motionNof arrest Of Judgment.
Biies was bOok-kseper TO the firm. ol
Haskins, HeiskeAe& Co, aud by era
sures ndffalssAdding up of the col
umns in the Journal, d4frauded the
firm outsuf large amount of money.
Upon the trial, it was shown these
erasures we're made in the journal,
and this vas assigned as reason of
its not being forgery under the law,
and was ably argued upon the motion
in arrest of Jugmeut. The Court
held: The entry made in this jour
nal was calculated to deceive the
mos! experienced merchant, the era
sure aud consequent alteration Of
the figure 6 to 5, would have the
effect of ailsyDg and not exciting
suspicion; it vas sn evidence prima
facle Of the accuracy of the clerk,
who having east up the column of
figures, discovers aud coTrects mis-
take. What Individual would under
these circumstances, and having con-
filence in all ordinary (ana not, as
in this case, eonGdenliaD book
keeper, stop to recalculate the entire
entry: The crime thus committed
was not only a serious one, but was
so ingeniously consummated as to
entrap and deceive the nost saga
cious.
Some objection was made ppon the
argument of this cause to the form
of the indictment, because it is there
in alleged that the amount of the
bills receivable had been received by
the frm of Haskins, Heiskell, &
Co; but 10 point of law this was the
fact, for the defendant was the legal
agent Of the firm, and it was not
until the firm had thus received
the funds that the defendant abstrac-
ted them by means of this forgery.
Upon careful consideration Of
the whole case. the Court are of the
unanimous opinion that the offence
charged is a forgery, and the motion
in arrest Of Judgment must be over
ruled. -

g Tor the seats oil these p0nder0us
heaux. To accord With this fantas.
tical taste: the ladies invented large
, hoop fartbingales. Two lovers could
5 surely never have taken one another
by the hand aside. In the preceding
) reign Of Mary, the fashion ran on
square toes; insomuch that a proc
lamation was issued that no person
should wear shoes above six inches
square at the toes! Then succeeded
picket pointed shoes.
i The nation was again, in the reign
of Elizabeth, put under the royal au-
thority. "In that time (says honest
John S,owe) be was held the greatest
gallant that had the deepest ruff and
longest rapier, the offence to The eye
of the one, and hurt unto the life Of
the subject that came by the other.
This caused her Majesty to make
proclamation against them both, and
to place selected grave citizens at
every gate, to cut rufls, and break
the rapier points of all passengers
that exceeded a yard in depth of
their rulfers.
A shameful extravaganza 10 dress
has been a most venerable folly. In
the reign of Richard II. the dress
was sumptuous beyond belief. Sir
John Arundel had a change Of no
less than fifty-two new suits of cloth
Of gold tissue. Brantome records Of
Elizabeth, Queen Of Philip II. Of
Spain, that she never wore gown
twice.
A book Of the reign Of Henry

rious Henry. / shall only observe,
that they wore then long. pointed
shoes, to such an immoderate length,
that they could not walk till they
were fastened to their knees with
chains. Luxury improving on this
ridiculous mode, these chains the
English besux of the fourteentb
century had made Of gold and silver;
but the grotesque fashion did not
finish here, for the tops of their shoes
we're carved 10 the manner of a.
church window. The ladies of that
period were not less fantastical. !

in the reign Of Henry VIII. is al!u.

man holding piece Of cloth hanging

by Andrew Borde, facetious wit of
those days. The print bears the fol.

AT lower period, about the reign
OF Elizabeth, We are presented with a
curious picture Of a man of fashion.
make this extract from Puttenham'si
very scarce work on "The Art of
Poesje," p. 250: ..May it not seem
enough for a courtier to know how to
wear a feather and set his, cappe
aaaunt; his chain en- echape;a a straight
buckskin, la Mglcse; a loose, a Ia
1ruquesqne; the cap, a Ia Spamo!a;

face With as many ,countenances,
whereof it seems there be many that

show himself most fine, i will not say
most foolish or ridiculous" = So that
a beau of those times wore, in the
same dress, a mixture of all the fash
ions in the world.
