WELCOME TO THE REV. JOHN JUDGE. On Wednesday, immediately after the Quare terly meeting, the members and congregation of the English Wesleyan Church, to the number of about 150, were invited to a social tea to mell Mr Judge (the new pastor). Mrs Judge and family, and bid them a hearty welcome to Rhyl. The arrangements for the tea were carried out in excellent style by Mrs Williams, Gas Office, and Mrs T. Elliott, Paradise Street, and the tables were presided by over by Mrs J. Y. Strachan. Mrs Gunner, Miss Rice, Mrs Clews, Mrs T. C. Amos, Mrs S. J. Amos. &e. The tea was well served out, and the viands were of a superior quality. After tea a meeting was held under the pre- sidency of Mr G. F. Gunner, senior circuit steward, who. on behalf of the officers and members of the Church, extended a hearty welcome to the Rev. Mr and Mrs Judge. Mr Gunner referred to the financial position of the different funds connected with the Church, all of which he stated were in satisfactory condition. Messrs Lawrence, J. Y. Strachan, I Jos. Williams, and S. J. Amos. also joined in warmly welcoming Mr Judge and his wife and family to the circuit, and wished them every blessing and success in his work here. Mr Judge next addressed the meeting in e truly eloquent speech, thanking the officers for their words of welcome and encouragement, and asked for the prayers and confidence of the members. Messrs T. Elliott, J. Mudd, and T. C. Amos followed, and at the close Mr Maltby proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman, and to the ladies for their excellent ar- rangements for the tea The motion waa seconded by Mr Judge, and cordially cariied.- At the suggestion of Mr Judge, Mr S. J. Amos proposed, and the Chairman seconded, a resol- ution sympathising with the Rev. T.

WELSH JOTTINGS The owners of the Bettlsfield Colliery have con-1 ceded the colliers an advance of five p?r cent, in their wages. We hear that Hughes's gold mine, situate on tne side of Moel Fammau, has been Elold for £ 20,000 to a May-oliester syndicate. A labourer, named Job Jones, wa killed on Monday night at Ruabon Station while loading bricks in the railway truck at the wharf. It is rtatel that there is no foundation whatever for the rumour that the Hon. George Kenyon, M.P., will rot stand for Denbigh Boroughs at the next election. i i -d v a At the Holywell Sessions on Tuesday Ian, Robert Tattum, landlord of the Albion Vaults, Bagt.It, was fined £ 2 and costs for keeping his house open after eleven o'clock on Saturday night. At a meeting beld in Llargollen it was jleiided that the balance of S50 remaining after the settle- ment of accounts, in connection with the Queen's recent visit should be placed in the b tyik, to form the nucleus of a fund for a permanent memorial of the event. The Committee of the Wrexham Free Library have decided to open the oirculating liqrary on OOtober 25th. Mr Gladstone is to be aeked to per- form the opening ceremony. The" Cardiff Times,, calls the adrcss of ibe Bishop of St. Asaph at Rbyl the Gospel according to Nehemlah." And another writer cal's it the gcspel according toJNebuchadnerzar. Mr R. N. Hall, the secretary of the South Wales Liberal Federation, has &Fci rtqined that there are 140 farmers in Cardiganshire alone who have re- ceived notices of distiaiiit, and there is probably an equal number iL Pembrokeshire. The Church Banner says that an illustration of the !tcady way in which the Church in Wales is gain- ing ground in the affect on of the people, and draw- ing Nonconformists within her fold, was furnished by the Bishop of Llandaff's recent ordination. Among the priests ordained, the Rev. John Williams, curate of Beaufort, was foimerly a Dis- senter, one of the deacons, the Rev. John Williams, who was Gospeller, is an ex-Calviiiist:o Methcdist minister, and the Rev. T. Phillips is an ex-Congrega- tionalist. DEATH or A WELSH BARD.-Gweirydd Ap Rhys, a notable character fin the literary lifo of Wales, died en Wedncsday at Holyhead, at the advanced age of 84 yeara. The last public ceremony in which he took part was the proclamation at Bangor of the National Eisteddfod of 1896. THB BON. GEORGE KENYOH, M.P., states that the rumour to which currency was given last week in some of the newsparers to the effect that he would not offer himself for re-election for the Den bigh Boroughs at the dissolution of the present Parliament, has absolutely no foundation The otdination of twelve students to the Roman Catholic priesthood, took place last week at St Benno.s Theological College, Tremeirchion, near St. Asaph. The officiating prelate was the Right Rev Dr Knight, Bishop of Shrewsbury Pope Lto XIII. sent by the Rev. Francis O'Gorman, one of the newly-ordaineft priests, his epecial blessing to all the newly-ordained fathers. At Broughton (Hawarden) Petty Sessions, cn Tbureday, a collier named Morlee was rttaanded on a charge rf having, during the preceding night, in fompany with another poacher, assaulted one of Mr W. H. Gladstone's gamekeepers nan;ed Hurst. The Deputy Chief Constable of Fliutt-hire desci ibccl the encounter as a desperate one, and said that Hurst had been so seriously injured as to be unable to appear. Speaking at a Diocesan Conference at'Carlisle on Wednesday, the Bishop of Carlisle said there was a strong feeling that the Church of England received sooietLinsc short of justice at the hundts of Parlia. ment. The condition of things was rapidly becom- ing intolerable in Wales, and he hoped the Tithe Bill would be passed next session. It was not only a Church question, but a quefctionof property and of common honesty. A conspioous act of bravery has been performed by Mrs. living, wife of Captain Irving, Gad lye, Bagillt, North Wa\es. The Irish mail was entering the station at fifty miles an hour while an aged man slightly deaf, was crossing the meta's carrying a parcel. The official shouted, and certain death appeared to await the poor fellow, when, without a moment's hesitation, Mrs. Irving sprang dov* and seized the man, and pushed him oft the mis right in front of the train narrowly escaping witn her own life. The MH tieal Standard contends that one of the weak spots of the Eisteddfod is the development of the desire to regard are too much from the tourna- ment point of eight." The competitive spirit un- doubtedly calls for the exerife of noble patience and watchful skill" in another sense than that spoken of by the editor. Bis references to the aims of the Association of Welsh Musicians are appreciative and cheering. It is gratifiying to find fo earnest a critic justifiying Welsh compoEers and lingers in the larger musical use of their ancient language. On Wednesday last were buried the remains of one of the pioneers in the rise and progress of Llan dudno, viz., Mr Morgan Williams of the King's Arms Hotel. Ho came to Llandudno about half a century ago- A native cf Llanfyllin, he resided at one time at Holywell, where h3 carried on a tailor and draper's business. Finally settling at Llan- dudno, Mr Williams Jmanied the daughter of a respectable farmer, occupying a place called Fferm, on the slope to the south- east of the town. Like many other early settlers there Mr Morgan William's speculations seived him well, and he bccame the proprietor of the King's Arms Hotel, which he occupied to the laf-t. The deceased was ajgenial and and active man of business, and was eventully elect- ed a member c? the Llandudno Beard of Commis-1 cioners, guardian for Fglwyerhos, and churchwarden. How many other offices he held in his time it is now difficult to say. His father was a Baptist minister, and the deceased was of the same denomination, hut retained the old fashioned idea, that a man should at least go once a Sunday to chuioh. As hng as he was able he went very regularly to Eglwysrbos, near which cLurch bis remains lie interred.

Information was fiven to the police, and P.C. Taafe, of Rhyl, appening to be in Holywell, got wind of it, and proceeded to Abergele, where he found some of the stolen property in a place prisoner lodged at. He afterwardn met the' doctor,' and apprehended him. Prisoner pleaded not guilty, elected to be dealt with summarily, and ^"as sent for a month's imprisonment with hard labour. It will be remembered that prisoner ^as convicted for obtaining an umbrella by means of a trick from Mr Kent's establishment He then loudly protested against the decision °f the magistrates, and vowed his intention of repealing against it. "THE SULTAN is much alarmed by his in. creasing obesity, and he has just summoned Dr Schwennenger to Constantinople, from Berlin, for whose accommodation a palace on the Boaphorus, at Tlierapia, has been prepared, where he is to atiy for a. week. Dr. Schweninger's treatment has im- mensely benefited Prince Bismark; and the Czar was touch the better for it, but he soon gave it up, as I be is an inveterate gormandiser, and careful and very plain feeding were as impossible to him as the pre- scription of one tumbler of weak whisky and Apollinaris at each meul, instead of the magnum of champagne which he usually consumes." -Truth Sept. 12th, 1889.

Wynne, Robert J< nc.°, farmer, Ty Isa, Gwaenyrgor, was charged by Ernest Albert Craft, Auctioneer, Mold, with having assaulted him whilst engaged in levying distraints for non-payment of tithes, at Gwaenysgor on the 16th ultimo. Mr Goodman Roberts, Mold, prosecuted, and Mr Alun LItn d defended. Mr Robert in his opening statement, said he appeared for the coirpiainaiit in that ttiargo of assault against Robert Jones. On the lGth ultimo, Mr Craft was ongaged in levying distraints for tithes at different places at Gwaenyigor, and to enter one of the farms ho had to get ovira g ito, and as be was going over the gate, ROLO: t Jones pulled him back, with the view of preventing his getting any further. He (Mr Roberts) would not enter into the question of the tithe agitation further than say that ts the defendant wa3 the tenant of another farm, he apprehended that any sympathy there might exist with a farmer who had distraints levicdoD his gcods would not extend to him- Mr Llovd This is a very ordinary summons. I have not sought, ror shall I, to introduce any out. bide matter, "and must object to Mr Roberts doing £ 0> -13 Mr Roberts: And I have nof, introduced any irrelevant matter. Whi n I do so, I hope the Benoh wid stop me. Mr Lloyd: I will stop you myself. Mr Robeits then s ;id he would confine himself simply to the summons. Ho might mention that Mr Craft was accompanied by only one police officer and it could not therefore be said that there Was a t-trong force to arouse the anger of the defendant. He would call the police officer to coiroborata Mr Craft's evidence. Mr Craft, the complainant, excmined by Mr Robert! mid he was an auctioneer, living at Mold He was employed levying distraints in the parish of Gwaenysgor, on the i.6;h ultimo, and vi-ited among other places, Hafod Earm, the tenant of which was a man named Robert Williams. He went there for the purpose of collecting tithes, and was uocom- panied by a police offiro",r and the driver of a convey- ance he rode in. Arriving at Hufoi Farm he attempted to enter the premises by getting over the gate, which was the only w;iy he pos-itj. could.

The Bench rulei tllat the qu'etion could n-t be I put, and witness continuing hi* ev de; oj id fit when pulled down he was leaning upon t <e gate; the pulice officer was not far off at the time. The gate opened into the ro-id. Mr Koberts: After you we:e pulled off the gate did anything further take place P Witness: Not in legmd to Robert Jones. Cross-examinfd by Mr Alun Ll,)y,i Hf W'i8 not hurt, and when pulled back he alighted on his feet. Mr Lloyd The only assault committed was the laying of hmdli upon your coat tail, and pul iug you down?- Wtll, he took hold of me by the waist. Had ho his arms around you entirely ?-Oh, dear no -The moment you dropped OM yuur feet he let you go r- Yes.-And f r tli.t u.ault you ask the Bench to punish the man ?—Yes.—Do you know a hoy named Robert Williams? I can't say T. do.— (Robert Williams approved).—Nowlook at this boy, did you fen him there that day ?—I cannot loay I did.—Was not this boy on the gate?—I cannot tdl yoa, Were you not when pulled away on this boy's arm ?-I am almost suie I was not.—Will youerar he was not leaning on the gate ?-I really cannot fay, there were about 20 people thero.—Having some regard for the truth you will not take your oath that this boy was not on the gate?—I will not. Re-examined: He did nothing to the buy, and did not remember him in any particular way. P.C. Adams depo&ed to being with complainant at Gwaeuybgor on the 16th ult., and to seeing Robert Jones pull him off the gate. There wer,) also a numb. r of young men and boya on the gate. Mr Craft did not interfere with anybody cn the gate with the exception that he was trying to get over to enter Hafod Farm. He did not remember seeing the boy Robert Williams there he might have been there, but be could not identify him as being p essnt. Robert Jones, when be pulled Mr Craft, did not do S:> 11 ith any degree of violence, but he was certainly excited. Mr Roberts: Had there been a previous alterca- tion between the parties ? Mr Lloyd objected to the question on the ground that it was eomething new, and did not transpire in Mr Craft's evidence. The Bench ruled the question in order, and witness in reply said there was an. altercation previously between Robeit Jones and Mr Craft on another farm nothing further took place on the farm in question. Mr Lloyd said he had no questions to ask, and Mr Robeits intimated that that was his came. Mr Alun Lloyd, fr,r the defence, said his friend in opening had referred to the faot that Mr Craft was collecting tithes. He (Mr Lloyd) would say no more about that, other than admit that a peiaon who was engaged in a lawful oocupation, such as Mr Craft presumably was, he was entitled to do his work without molestation from anybudy. He was an officer of the law, and as such was entitled to do his work without interruption of such a character as would prevent him doing that which was required and expected of him. They all knew that this question of tithes hid been an 1, was for some period an hritating influence among the faimers ot Wales— « The Chairman Please do not go into that, Mr Lloyd. Mr Lloyd said he merely alluded to it just in passing as having a relationship w;th the La-e, and to lotate that at. an officer of the law he was willing and anxious ti conce io to Mi Lr tft his remedy, proddin the assault wall of such a character th It it was intended to throw some discred.t upon th law, 01 upon the officer who was carrying out las proper functions.

It was, he taid, quite tiue that the prosecutor was upou the g»"e iu quea'ioo, and it was also quite true that his client, Robert Jones, pulled him down, but it WI8 a Is.- quite true that his client, u.-ei no violenoe to comp aiuant, but that he alighted on his feet, alive and well, without the slightest injury, and eni ye the joke ae well «a anybody. But Robert Jouts took the complainant down to relieve a little boy on whoso arms Craft had placed the full weight of his stomach. Seeing this his client quietly pulled Craft down. He would like to ask them wbether in such a casi as that, Craft, simply because he was » tithe collector, was to enjoy lmrauui uu other person in the laud could. No tithe collector, or any other officer of the law, he said, would be allowed to plaoe his full weight, when performing bis lawful duty, on a little boy's elbow, aad the mo4 Robert Jones had done was to^ relieve this little boy from the pain caused by Vraft lea°1Dg upon h)sarm. He praised highly his condu t in doing so, and s ud he was proud of having the honour of defending such a client. Robert Williams, who said he was 13 years ot ftKe, deposed to being at Hafod Farm, and seeing Mr Craft there. He (witness) was sitting on tne ™te and had hold of the gate post by his arm. V^hen Mr Craft came over tr.e gate he placed h^s body on his arm, and hurt him. Seeing this Robt. Jones pulled Craft down, and after he alighted on Cross examined: He was on the gate before Mr I Craft arrived, there being also some other boys on it He did not cry out when Mr Craft touched him The pressure on his arm was for about a minute. He did not ask Robert Jones to pull Mr Craft down, and did cot tell his father he had been hmt. He asked Mr Craft to release him, but he took no notice of the request. He was no relation to Robert Jones, and that gentleajau had no iuterclit ia rrqteotivg him, Wituell eai4 ugtbaug I to t.h« roli"em"n «bout Mr Craft liurtitig him. It was his left arm tht was pressed upon. He was silting upr.ght on the gate, wita p llt of his arm on the i!ate. Mr C aft did n't removj his arm at HII.

William Robeits, f-ho?keep«r, Gw enysgor, deposed t) seeing the last witness on the g .te on the day in question. He also saw Craft going over the gate and lean on his arm. Upon t'rt Robert Joues took held of Mr Cra^t s coat, and pulled him down. He did so very gently, and that was aU that happened. Cross examined He did not hear Willi ims cry out, or say anything to Mr Craft. Witness was near Mr Craft, aud saw nothing happen to ju^ti- y him int Irforing He did not attempt t > stop Mr Crizft fiom hurting the boy. Robert Joms wa abjut two yard off. The boy had told him (witness) afterwards that he had been hurt by Mr Craft. Mr Lloyd: That is the case for the (le"enlint. My client as you know cannot give evidence Mr Goodman Roberts asked permission to call a witness to prove that the by was n it. on the Iptc, Mr Lloyd: I would certainly submit that the little boy himself is the best judge of that. The Chairman said it w is a little irregular to call a witness after the case had baen closed. After the magi-tr itei had deliberated together for some time they desired that Mr Craft *ho-jid be recalled, and in answer to the Chairman he sai I he could not say that he baw tho boy on the gate. end WitS not aware that he sat on anybody sarm. Asked if he thought thlt in trying t> get over the guti ho was likely to injure anyone, witness rep ied ti.at h tried to get over the gate where there was nobody sitting. He did not s'i on the gita at ad but jusr; lt-aue 1 over the top of it. Pressed agaiu a-* to whether he saw the boy, he easd it was ratlic difficult to s;iy. He never Baw him, or hend him i cry out, and heard nothing abi ut it until the eviJeDce that day. He wou>d not 6Wear that he had no.; touched the boy he might have touched him, for lio had no doubt touched a great many. After t-ome further disou?aion between the mngis trats, Mr George pointed out that the ue:eud*nt j was not summoned for assaulting an officer while m the execution of his duty. Mr Lloyd: Cenaimy not.

KICKING A WIFE TO DEATH. At the Thanes Poliee-coort, onWedneaday James re Bearer 87, was brought up, on a warrant, charged with falling his wife, Ellen Seares, by kicking her. Mr*. Scares died on Tuesday night, having in the afternoon made a deposition, in which she stated that her husband severely beat her with the buckle- end of a belt, and afterwards dealt her a heavy blow in the eye with his fist. The'force of the blow felled her to the ground,and while there her husband kicked her two or three times on the body. She had led that life during the last three years, and in seven months her husband had given her seven black eyes. Mr. Saunders remanded the prisoner for the Treasury to take up the prosecution.

PENAL SERVITUDE FOR BURGLARS. Frederick Bush, 23, dealer, and Frederick Clarke, 47, baker, were indicted at the London County Sessions on Tuesday for breaking and entering the warehouse of Mr. S. Hart, and stealing therein two dresses and other articles, value S20. Both prisoners were found guilty.—Warder Humphreys stated Bush had undergone terms of 14, seven, and five years' penal servitude, and was still under police super- vision. Clarke had also been previously sentenced to 10 years' penal servitude. Mr. Warry sentenced them each to 10 years' penal servitude. The conduct of the police officers engaged in the case was highlv eommended, and his lordship ordered them each to receive 10s., in addition to their expenses.

EXPLORING A SUBTERRANEAN RIVER. A subterranean river has, says the Paris correspon- dent of the Daily Nelos, just been discovered in the district of Miers, in the Department of Lot. Miers is in the heart of a wild mountainous country, in the deepest recesses of which caves and grottoes are found, some of which appear to have been the abodes of our troglodyte ancestors. The other day two explorers-M. Martell and M. Gaupillat-discovered the river at the bottom of a gouffre or abyss known as the Pit of Paderac. Returning thither with a folding boat made of sailcloth they worked their way down stream for a couple of miles through a succession of wonderful grottoes sparkling with stalactites. They found seven lakes on their way, and had to shoot 37 cascades or rapida. The two explorers intend to start on a fresh expedition to as- certain, if possible, the outlet of this unknown river. They conjecture that it joins one of the heads of th* Doraogne, six miles from the abyss.

SERIOUS COACHING ACCIDENT. As the coach running from the railway station at1 Bideford to Clovelly and Bude was passing round a corner at Bideford, on Monday, it was overturned in consequence of an axle breaking. There were 20 passengers on the top of the vehicle, and a scene of great excitement ensued. Mrs. E. Lorenz Meyer, wife of a partner in the firm of Beckin, Meyer, and Co., of Singapore, was taken from under the coach in an insensible condition and conveyed to the hospital near by. Mr. Black- well, of Leicester, who had his kneecap cut open and sustained other injuries, was also taken there. Mr. Thomas, of Kensington, who was with his wife, fell heavily on his back, was picked up insensible, and carried to an hotel. Mr. Dunoan, of Bideford, also had his leg hurt. Later in the day Mrs. Meyer was able to leave the hospital, and join her husband at his hotel. Mr. Blackwell, after a short detention at the hospital, was also able to go to an hotel. Mr. Thomas's condition, however, is not reassuring. The passengers not seriously injured were subsequently sent on to Clovelly in another contay- ance.

SENT TO A LIVING TOMB. An unlucky blow has befallen a poor popular Parisian "whimster" and practical joker. He has 5one mad, and has had to be sent to the Clermont Lsylum. Sapeck's real name was Bataille, and for many years he was the joy and the delight of the students in the Latin Quarter. Sometimes he used to perambulate the locality clad as an eccentric Englishman with a Baedeker in his hand and followed by a crowd of students, some of whom were "in the know," while others heartily chaffed the travelling Anglais, who insisted on tapping and inspecting every stone of the ancient Roman baths in which the Cluny Museum is situated. On other occasions the joker dressed himself as a Mussulman, a Chinese, or an Hungarian,as his fancy dictated. Concierges were Sapeck's abomination, and he sometimes got them out of bed and compelled them to hunt for imaginary cats and dogs who were keeping a houseful of people awake, the cries of these animals proceeding from the throat of the humorist. The Latin Quarter fumitte also founded a newspaper called the Anti-Concierge, which ap- peared on rent-days, and in which Pipelet," as French doorkeepers are called, was satirised by pen and pencil. Like most of the latter-day Bohemians, Sapeck had for some years forsworn sack, like Jack Falstaff, and was aiming at a serious settlement in life. Having taken his degree of Doctor of Laws, he became the general secretary of a prefect, and was doing his duty conscientiously in the regions of red-tape when his reason suddenly tottered oa its throne and sent poor Sapeck to a living tomb.

THE BENCH AND THE BABY. At the Tunbridge (Kent) Benoh on Monday. Mr. G. fl. Warner, solicitor, made a somewhat peculiar application. He said that in June last an illegiti- mate child was left by a servant girl with his client, a respectable married woman named Barton, having ohildren of her own. The amount for the keep of the infant was paid up to August last, when the mother emigrated to America. Under these cir- cumstances Mrs. Barton applied to the relieving officer to remove the baby to the workhouse. The offioer, he regretted to say, acting under the instruc- tions of the guardians, refused to admit the child to the workhouse. This decision he submitted was both illegal and morally improper.—Mr. Collins, the re- lieving officer, said he had consulted the board of guardians, and they had refused to admit the child to the workhouse.—Mr. Warner said that his only course was to advise his client to leave the infant in the court, and then it would find its way into the union.—The chairman (Viscount Hardinge): What, is the child to be left in this oourt ?—Mr. Warner: If you will not make an order to admit it to the union it will be left in the custody of the justices. (Laughter.)-Colonel Germon, one of the magis- trates, said, If the child is to be left here, what is to become of it ?"—Mr. Waner That is for the bench to decide. (Laughter.) I shall advise the woman to place the child on the table of the court, and then the police will take it to the relieving officer, and we shall hear no more about it. Turning to Mrs. Barton, the learned gentleman said, Put the child on the table, leave it, and walk out of court." This the woman appealed to did, and retired from the court, leaving the feeding-bottle with the hapless infant.—Mr. Warner: The child is now desti- tute and neglected, and your worships can order its removal to the union. The relieving officer took up the infant and conveyed it to the workhouse.

FORGERY BY A CLERK. At the Guildhall Police-court Oswald Riddle Miles. 20, late of East Dulwich, has been brought up on remand charged with forging and uttering two I cheques of 9812 109. and B140 respectively, belong- ing to his employers, Messrs. Woodall and Co., stockbrokers.—Mr. C. O. Humphreys prosecuted, and in opening the oase stated that the prisoner was formerly employed in the prosecutors' office as clerk. In July last he absconded, and the books of the firm were investigated. This resulted in the discovery that the prisoner had forged the two cheques. It was the oractice of the prosecutors' firm to leave out signed blank cheques for the clerks to fill in for customers 1 sending in their accounts, so that no customer should suffer any delay by the principals of the firm being absent from the office. that cheque was drawn in favour of a Mr. Gorome, but the counterfoil was made to appear as if it had been made payable to Messrs. M'Annelly. The prisoner called on Mr. Gomme, and represented that he had to transact some business for his mother, but, owing to a rule of the Stock Exchange, that no olerk should transact any business relating to stocks, and he being a clerk, he thought Mr. Gomme would not mind him using his name. Mr. Gomme, believing all to be straight- forward, agreed to let the aooused use his name for the purpose of the so-called business transactions. Miles then asked him to change the cheque for £ 140. It was a crossed cheque on the City Bank, and Mr. Gomme complained to him about it; but subse* quently got it cashed and paid the prisoner seven £ 20 Bank of England notes. The aay before he ab- sconded Miles forged another cheque in favour of himself for ES12 10s. The counterfoil was made out to Mr. Watson for £ 112s. 6d. That cheque he changed at the London and South Western Bank, through his own account. It was afterwards dis covered that he had gone to America, where he wal arrested. On the voyajre home prisoner handed 1,362 dollars to the officer.-Mr. Frederick Woodall, senior partner of the prosecuting firm, gave evidence bearing out the opening statement. During the re- mand he had received a letter from the accused, io which he stated that he was very sorry for what he I 1. naa aone. tie asxea mercy and promised, n ne COUlO, to repay the firm all he bad had.—After some further evidence, the prisoner, who reserved his defence, was committed for trial.
