THE TICHBURNE CASE AGAIN.
Reported Discovery of Arthur Or

CreEsWeII

Reported Discovery of Arthur Or
ION Under the Name OF George
CreEsweII.
London Standard, September Ill
Mr.. William Quartermaine East
writes to us from Travistock as fol-
lows:
Mr.. 0nslow, Lord Rives and my
self accepted the joint trusteeship
of a fund established three years
since to procure evidence from
Australia in this case. We readily
realized that the discovery of Ar
thur Orton was the only chance of
possibly benefiting the claimant,
and | am sure all the well-disposed
will be pleased to learn that after
many failings, incessant work, great
expense and continued disappoint-
.ment the undoubted Arthur Orton
has been discovered under the name
of George Cresswell, fully recog-
nized by several in Australia, and
his photograph sworn to by many
in England who knew him within
this last ten years. Although the
only sister who has at present seen
Cresswell cannot possibly swear to
him, she remarks: "There is a most
wonderful likeness to our family;
in fact, l at once picked him out
from several others, and GER
tainly, after a lapse of twen-
ty-five years, although l have
not sworn he is my brother, /
should positively decline swearing
he was not" Upon the arrival Of
Messrs. 0nslow, Haworth and my
self at Dartmoor, on Friday, the
photograph of Cresswell was shown
to the claimant, who at once de-
clared it solemnly as the same AL
fred Smith sworn to by him on the
sixteenth day Of his examination in
chief. OF course this is of no legal
value, nevertheless it is emlnently
satisfactory to his partisans. The
claimant looked in better health
than on any of the previous visits.
| will not intrude upon your space
with the many details connected
with this discovery, or dwell upon
the causes which resulted in his
conviction. Judges and juries must
decide by the evidence and the facts
as they find them, whether true,
untrue, perverted or distorted but
| will simply observe that the credit
in the main is due to the unwearied
efforts of Mr.. 0nslow, and to the
many kind friends who have from
time to time so literally subscribed,
aud thereby enabled us to trace
Alfred Smith, alias George Cress-

gnaC sum was IN equity and by
agreement divisible with the nom
mining party, it resulted that the
earnings, all around, were one dol
lar per day, which, allowing three
hundred working days to the year,
would be three hundred dollars per
annum for each, while the products
Of the mine were steadily piled up
in the government repositories.
But while the colonists were
Quietly and efficiently fulfilling their
mission, a little bill of dollar was
presented at Madrid, and as there
were no moneys not otherwise ap-
! propriated" at the command of the
treasury, the officials gave a bond
for the same, bearing interest at six
per cent, per annum, payable when
the gold above specified should be
disposed of. The government finally
fixed upon the year 1879 as a good
time to sell, rightly conjecturing
that by the demonetization of silver
and the prospective enormous re-
quirements Of the United States
for gold to effect their exchanges,
the demand would be unprecedent-
ed and the price high. By calcula-
ton they found that the fifty
miners had each day delivered 800
worth of metal which, estimating
300 working days to each year,
would be $4,000 per annum, re-
sulting for the 3S7 years in the
magnificent accumulation of S11,-
100000. "But your excellency for
gets" said Don Penseroso to the
treasurer-general, "that there is a
lien on the fund of one dollar, the
interest being added at the end of
each year at six per cent" The
magnifcos laughed heartily at the
suggestion and jokingly asked the
grand scribe to inform them-that
is, If the paltry sum was not too
insignificant to figure on - what
that little matter would amount to.
But they were much surprised and
annoyed when that functionary,
after careful calculation, reported
that the claim Of this bondholder
on the government would in 1873
amount to the incomprehensible
sum of $6,240,O00 (six million, two
hundred and forty thousand dol.
lars). The council at first accused
the sedate functionary of joking
but his solemn and respectable Wis
, age precluded that theory. Then {
suspicion of insanity took posses.
sion of the official mind, but cypher
ing confirmed the statement.
"Carrambap growled the presi
dent, "that 81 has earned 147, ,46S
times more than those fifty work
ingmen-or rather those hundred
workingmen, for it has taken ont
outside man all the time to supper
the one in the mine. Or in Other
words, it would require 13,746, ,80t
men at 81 per day each, from the
date of the bond, to pay principa
: and accrued interest at per cent
on 81 for 3o7 years."
The old philologists teach tina
usury means " something tina
J bites" 1t is a constructor tina
, crushes and then swallows.

However historians may differ on
other points, all concur in crediting
Ferdinand and Isabella with the
character of intelligent and efficient
soyereigns.
When under their auspices Column
bus discovered America in 1892,
economists would have deemed it
wise if they had set apart one of
the many gold mines which then
came into their possession, to be
worked forever in the interest of
the crown, its products to be APP
piled as a sinking fund towards the
reduction or the liquidation of the
national debt, until such debt should
be paid.
For convenience of illustration
we will imagine that such an edict
was passed, and as an administra-
tive measure, one hundred men
were detailed to work the mine
with the provision that all yacan-
cies occurring by death or other
wise should be Immediately filled.
On arrival at the mines the colonists
learned (if they did not know it
before) that gold would neither
shelter, feed nor clothe them, and
they wisely detailed one-half their
number to supply the personal
needs of the colony, while the other
half worked at mining. A few
years experience showed that the
average product was an ounce OF
gold every ten days for each miner,
which on a valuation of twenty
dollars was two dollars per day, AS
