paid by some Of his coutrymen, and
the man departed. On Wednesday

books and other articles, found upon
him, showing that he had collected
large sums OF money, for the purpose of

Among the others was one purporting
to be from Bishop Lee, which was
thought to be "a forgery. AS soon an
,hese papers were found the Mayor sen,
word to the Bishop informing him Of
the fact, and asking it he had any
charge to prefer against the prisoner.
Nothing further was heard from the
Bishop until yesterday morning, when
his servant called on the Ma, or, bnt
did not state that the man was 10 be de.
tanned consequently at the usual hour
he was given hearing, and the only
charge being drunkenness he was fined
and allowed TO deparj.
Shortly after, tno Bishop thinking

writes
1t gives me great pleasure TO concur
ia the views Of Dr Sunderland and o,n-
ers, as given above. have 20 doubt
that the bearer should receive the cor
dial sympathy and aid to those to whom
God has given ability to help him.

1t is highly probable that if he had
not gone on the iruuk that caused
his arrest, he wouid have swiudled
many others. He was certainly an
adept in the business az ali the lrtters
found on him are believed to be gcnu-
inc. There cannot be any blame attach
I'D to the Mayor or Chict of Police sor
his NOT being detained, as they held him
as long'as possible on tle charge there
Was against him.
