INDIAN CORN. (per 2201151.) .18s (Id -20 s Od  BARLEY  His grace the Duke of Hamilton is expected at Hamilton Palace on Saturday first. On Tuesday, Charles M`Cartney, an old man, 64 years of age, residing in Kirkhill Brae, in the parish of Neilston, committed suicide in an out-house near to his lodgings. The deceased had been drinking during the previous day. On Monday forenoon, about 11 o'clock, a child, aged 17 months, son of Patrick M'Cuskie, labourer, 80 Main Street Rutherglen, was run over by a gig in Rutherglen, in charge of John Young, dairyman, Thorn, pariah of Glasford, East Kilbride. Yesterday forenoon, as a ealenderer's cart was passing down Stockwell Street, and when opposite to Goosedubbs. it ran over a little boy, aged about seven years, killing him on the spot. We have not learned whether the man in charge of the machine was to blame.  Between 7 and 8 o'clock on Sunday evening, some boys observed _a woman throw herself into the Clyde at Langbank, parish of Erskine. They gave the alarm, but before she was got out of the water, life was extinct. Her name is supposed to be Mary Wylie or Davidson. At the Central Police Court, on Tuesday, John Scott, formerly a sheriff-officer, was charged with falsehood, fraud, and wilful imposition, inasmuch as he represented himself to Felix O'Rourke, 24, Bridgegate, as a sheriff-officer, and obtaining from him 3s 7d, for the purpose of summoning Frances Rush, 79, Main Street. He was sentenced to forty days' imprisonment. Meetings of the Great North of Scotland Railway Company, were held at Aberdeen on Tuesday—Mr Stewart of Oraigiebuokler presiding—when, in ao• oordance with the provisions of the reoent Acts of those companies, the forfeiture of shares on which there were unpaid =the authorising of pre. firma itotk, was  executed  Mr ADellefiln aFIEE —By whom did it purport to be ,xecuted ? Witness—By the company. The witness went on to state that the cheques for the £5OO and £4500 were received by him from his father to pay for Treadwell's land; that he had converted them to his own use; and that he had forged the endorsements of Treadwell's name upon them. After that I proposed to my father that the company to which he supposed he had let the Roupell Park estate should take the Kingston estate on building lease, but said they would require to be satisfied as to the goodness of the title, and that the deed must be submitted to counsel. Ile gave me the deeds, and I gave him an acknowledgment for them in his private book. (The acknowledgment written by the witness was here shown to him, and he identified it.) It was in the terms already stated. Upon giving that acknowledgment 1 took away the deeds. I never took them to the lawyers, but to Mr Powell, the law stationer, on the 16th July, 1855, and desired him to make copies of them, which he did. I then made them resemble the original title-deeds. Blanks had been left by my directions, and I added the signatures as well as I could imitate them, and also the attestations.  Mr Serjeant SHE& —What did you ultimately do with the copies? Witness—l burned them the night before I left England. .  Mr Serjeant SHEE —What did you do with the real deeds—the originals? Witness--I took them to Mr Whitaker, my attorney, with instructions for him to prepare a deed of conveyance and gift to me. He sent the draft enclosed in an envelope, addressed to my father, but which I did not show to him. I returned the draft to Mr Whitaker, and told him it was approved, and that he was to engross it. I gave Mr Foster, the well-known land ourinstructions to value the estate, and I got the ../nation from him. I alsogot the engrossed deed from Mr Whitaker, and having got it I arranged with Dove and Truman, agents of mine at that time, to call upon me. When they came, I signed the conveyance in their presence, and asked them to attest my signature. I Had turned the instrument round, and placed a piece of blotting-paper lightly over that portion of the attesta• tion w*li contained my father's name, leaving exposed only that portion of it which related to my own, and, M if to steady the deed, I retained my hand there while they attested that which they thought was my father's 4Latizel but which wee onl,y mine.
