he had not proved by other testimony than
his own that after he was shipwrecked in

and brought to Melbourne. Indeed, there
has been, up to this time, a failure to fill
up the gap in the plaintiffs history, by tes-

cognltlon at Melbourne, in 1866, by Boyle.

The house on Russian Hill had been the
abode of Young girl belonging to their

intense devotion. and she used to watch for
his coming with anxious fOndness His real

discovery, poisoned the young girl as twas
thought, though none could prove it. and
nothing positive was known beyond her dis
appearance on that night, the nineteenth Of
October, two years before.
The American merchant abandoned the
house and furniture, just as it stood, giving
an agent charge to let il for an almost nom
