A Slutinla despatch of Tuesday's date says "—The Turks yesterday sent a Hag of truce to the Russians, with a demand that they aliould be allowed to search for the body of Azir, Pasha. The seHrch was fruitless. It is now quite certain that, the battle at Esirdsche was a terrible and bloody affair. The loss on l)Otk bides wat! heavy, but tilt) Tuib luaiu- tained their position. There has been no larther fighting on this side; but telegrams received here say that Osman Pasha is attack. itig the Russians between Loftcha and Nicopolis. and that the tight is proceeding. A subsequent despatch from Shumla gives the following additional particulars Osman Pasha is winning. GO,OIJU Russians attacked him. The fighting was most obstinate and sanguinary. The Russians 'attempted to storm Plevna and Loftcha. They wore leaten back every time they came to the assault, and, it is added, with great slaughter. Osman maintained his ground all day. This morning the Russians renewed the attack. Up to mid-day the Turks were successful all aloug the line. The Russians lost at every point. .Simultaneous fighting is reported on the other side of the Biilkans. Suleiman and Faouf Pashas have bven, it is said, successful, TLe Russians, being routed, are burning the villages along their line of retreat, massacring the Turkish villagers.

ATKOCITIES. '('p|,ial correspondent cf the Standard \'1' ^"ssi»n head-quarters, writing from "tva on Monday, furnishes the following details:— You will net, perhaps, 1. Koeivcd the letters and telegrams ti I dtwribe at length the operations i). have resulted in forcing the Shipka S hut I have obtained permission to re- t f 'I/ L, field telegraph one terrible affair. j'("l^r attacks in front, right, and :r, the Turks fled on Friday morn- eight positions, which were almost I when we made a demon- ^UD °f a fresh attack from here. Going II: entered their camp, and three miles' across the mountains brought us to i wt positions hold by the Turks, where, upon the hillside in spots which were the moat conspicuous, lay a score of human neads. w oree horrors, nowever, lay hidden amongst the trees. Ascending again the next day, I found the bodies to which tho-w heads had belonged stretched out for burial, whilst the heads bad been gathered in a heap at the foot of a rude cross. It was a sight too ghastly to dwell upon. On opening the olack mouths of some of these heads we found that the tongues had been cut out, I sliwa leg and an arm protruding like mo(iolt; in white wax dabbled in blood. There were probably more underneath. Goin? on I found a great many Turkish def%a lying on the path, together with son:e Russian corpses. I have seen the human slaughter-house at Coomaesie and shuddered at African bar- barity, but we have savages as vile in Europe. The Russian dead had been left nntouchod, but the woulided, after being put to torture, had been beheaded. I know this bv the same ghastly experience in Asliantee. Each heai- less corpse had its lingers beut aud clutebingatit8 throat, as had our own poor wounded soldiers who were massacred at Amoaful, when their bodies were found. Among the mutilated was one still bearing a Red Cross brassard. He was a sollior. Raising gently the white cloth that had boon thrown over him, I was shown his riba and wigns, all gashed, and tho foulest possible Hiutilisation had been committod. Another cloth was raised, and I was shown a similar spectacle. Perhaps a score of headless mon lay there among others who had been killed in the fight and left untouched, hut I was too sick to count all. Certainly all have not been discovered, as we know by a fearful computation of the limbs. Had these deeds been committed by Bashi Bazouks no ono would have been surprised, but all the prisoners agreo that there were none but 14 t'ataiIionR of Redifs and Nizams in the pass. Their officers must have seen these heads and limbs lying on the bare turf at each glance from the doors of their tents. One more ob- servation. All these heads wore cut off clean, not hacked as with a sword or axe. A knife must have been used for this difficult opera. tion.

MOBILISATION OF AUSTRIAN TROOPS. The Vienna papers of Wednesday unani. mously announce that at Tuesday's Council of Ministers it was not decided to effect either a general or partial mobilisation. Count Andrassy, whose policy was entirely approved by his colleagues, was only em- powered to take measures for an eventual strengthening of the troops already echeloned along the southern frontier. The Cabinet discussed the question of the cost of mobilis. ing four divisions for reinforcing troops on the frontier, if required. THE FLEET AT BFSIKA BAY. I wlegram from Athens, dated Tuesday, 'late =,, is no foundation for the report that the British squadron at Besika Bay had been ordered to the Piriens. A Constantinople telegram states that H. M. S.

TflR ANTO'NFT,TL WIT,T, CASTC I The lioman correspondent of the Tiiywswrit. ing under date July 25, says I have not heard a single doubt expressed as to the paternity of the Countess Lambertini, and the lice adopted by the defendants tacitly con. firms it. They stronuously oppoeo the production of any of the evidence the plaintiff has offered. They object to the depositions of the witnesses being heard and tested, and they have declared their intentiun of impugning as forgeries the documentary proofs tendered. These documents consist of some letters written by Anto. nietta Marconi to the Archpriost Ven- detta, .Ld particularly one dated April 1, 18.?7, ¿i:8ki:ihi:r;J ;te: :r't of a letter to the cardinal, she says that Giaoomo' does not send her money, although he kuows he has a daughter to support, and that the Loretina is a cause of gfeat expense. Write to him for- cibly,' she say. 'or I shall do something dis- agreeable.' If this letter were eliminated alto. gether, it would scarcely diminish the mass of evidence the plaintiff offers, but bv impugning it as a forgery the defendants can succeed in sus- pending all further consideration of the case until that question is settled. "Theextent of the scandal in Roms does not consist fo much in the fact of a cardinal in Antonelli's position having had one or more chil. dren as in the action, which has brought all the intimate details connected with the affair before the public. Antonelli was to all intents and pur- poses a layman, filling one of those oivil depart. ments of an ecclesIastical temporal Gover?ment, to qualify for which it was indispensably requisite to ?eume the ecclesiastical habit. Beyond that point, neither Antonelli nor others I could name were ecclesiastics they were not qualified to say mass, nor, in the most remote way. had their duties anything to do with the cure of souls. As regards the oaruinal's connexion with Au. tcnietta Marconi, it was a common ignoble amour; but whoever the mother of the Countess Lamber- tini may have been, it is evident the cardinal was passionately attached to her, and never, since the birth of the child, lost one of the few opportuni. ties his position permitted for showing a father's love. The house taken for Antonietta Marconi was No. 88, Via Quattro i'ontane, and regularly every afternoon she was required to place herself with tho child at the window, that the oardinal might see it as he drove past and smilingly salute it. When he went to take the air along the road out. side the Porta San Giovanni, Antoniotta was in formed, in order that she might meet him in his walk. Then the child came np to him, kissed his hand, am d he would pat her on the head and pass on alone. When Loreta was five years old she fell from the carriage through leaning out of the window when the door was insufficiently closed, and broke her leg, and that night the cardinal sent several times to inquire for her. He made ample provision for everything the child required, increasing it as she grew up. lie directed that she should receive the education of a lady, and that no expense should be spared. Immediately after her birth he oon- signedthe sum of 22,000 soudi—nearly 118,000f —tc Antonietta Marconi, to invest for her, and later a further sum of 70,000 soudi for the same purpose. Upon this affection of the cardinal for the child the Marconi remorselessly traded. If the plaintiff succeeds in establishing her case the will fails entirely, -and she enters upon full possession of the cardinal's property, esti- matea at 40 millions of lire. If, on any p l th. defendants on -uec-ed in eBtablihing the will, the plaintiff will at least be entitled to one third, unless it can be proved that she is a sacrilegious child—' una figlia sacrilega'—and to establish that point the question of the difference between priest and deacon will come on. In the mean- time, the defendants' lawyers make no preteno of disputing tbe question -t the plainilf's paternity. That fact they admit to be notorious, and do not attempt to deny it, but they oontend that she was the daughter of Antonietta Marconi, the fruit of an adulterous connexion, and, conse- quently, of sacrilegious birth, and only entitled to aliment. It is evident that both parties are determined to contest the case inoh by inoh, and a powerful array of forensio ability has been brought to bear."

I EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE BY A LADY. Misa Augusta Slade, niece and adopted daugh- ter of Admiral Slade, appeared at Marlborough- street police-court on 'I nesday, to prosecute two men, an Italian, named Paul Gorlero, and a Greek, named Theodorides, on a oharge of oon. spiring to demand from her a large sum of money. la iss Slade stated that there had been an engage- ment of marriage between her and Theodorides, but it was broken oft', and he told her he had burned her letters. Subsequently he said that the box containing them had been seized for debt by Oorlero, who wrote to her that the other de. fendant owed him .£695, a sum whioh he must have from somebody, or he would take his moa- sures-intimating that one of them would be to send copies of her letters to other people. The defendants were remanded,

THE IRISH OBSTRUCTIVES I IN PARLIAMENT. EXTRAORDINARY SITTING OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. A CONTEST OF PHYSICAL EN- DURANCE. THE OBSTRUCTIVES CHECK- I MATED. THE SOUTH AFRICA BILL I THROUGH COMMITTEE. THE IMMORTAL SEVEN. I At half. past five o'elook yesterday morning we wont to press with a third edition containing the re- port of the proceedings in Parliament np to that hour. The lino "10ft sitting" indicated the ex. traordinary lengths to which the obstructives were forcing their tactios in order to tkwart the passing of the South Africa Bill through committee. Strange to say, not a few of our contemporaries had closed their Parliamentary reports with the simple statement that further olausos were disposed of, and the House adjourned." How far that announcement was oorrect most people are now aware. I or a considerable period after mid, night Mr. O'Donnell continued to express what he called his" strong opinions on this Bill," ever safe to be supported by Mr. Parnell, with his feigned fear that her Majesty's Government were pursuing a course that would" seriously nffect the character of the House." Despite a succession of amendments and motions to report progress, Clause 26 was got through, when Mr. Courtney suggested that the House should sit until the 40th Clause was passed. The Chan. cellor of the Exchequer then rose, and, declaring that the time for compromise was passed, said he would decline to report progress until the Bill was throng committee. Up rose Mr. O'Connor Power in an instant, to protest iwainat the minority being ridden over by the iron :lifrie bêl!er: :reohU'i'tO a ecene ensued, during which, after much shaffling and interruption the objeotionable phrase was withdrawn. Matters, however, shortly assumed a still more violent Mpect, Mr. O'Donnell de- claring they were only paying back in the same coin the treatment the Irish nation had received from the Government." This was too much for the Home Rule leader, and Mr. Butt said that he should be false to his country if he did not protest against the state- mlllt of the hon. member. If the hon. member represented the Irish party, ho would retire from it as from a vulgar brawl, in which no man of telf-respect could take part with credit to himself or advantage to his country. It was ten minutes past four o'clock when Mr. Raikes, the usual chairman of committees, retired, and his place was taken, amidst loud cheers, by Mr. Childers, from the front ranks of the Opposition and later on other members were found who took up the duties as they were relin- quiBhed by the chairman who had gone before. In this way the trial went on until daybreak brought the welcome light of the Bnn; the gas lights were turned off and the House continued to listen to the lucubrations and harangues of Mr. Parnell and Mr. O'Donnell, bent only on proving them. selves more enduring than the House. The taotios which the Government put in force against the rbftrnctivea were, however, turned to account by these gentlemen themselves. Their small t,and might seem incapable of sub-division, but Jlr. Biggar was equal to the task, and he announced to his disgusted hearers when he returned at eight o'clook to resume the fray that he had sought opportunity to refresh him- self with sloop while the members for Meath and Dungarvan continued their task. About two hours later JIlr. O'Donnell showed signs of weakness, and appealed to the Government fo terma of capitulation but the appeal, whioh woul d have "n listened to at three in the morning, came too late, and was sternly rejected, Mr. Hardy taking occasion to give the hon. member a well-deserved dressing. The obstructive tactics then grew visibly feeblor, the llIcst exciting incident previous to the passing of the Bill being a passage at arms between Mr. Sullivan and Mr. B. Hope. The remaining clauses having been gone througtl without protracted discussion, at ten minutes past two o'olock, amid loud and continued cheers, the Bill was ordered to be reporteè on Thursday, the House having beea continuously engaged with it 21 hours. The immortal seven who have so dishonourably dis- tinRuished themaelToo by foroing this unprece- dented sitting on a House famous alike for &Vr?'tr and for common sense are Messrs, (Meath), Kirk (Louth), Nolan (Galway), and Power (Mayo). The Dublin correspondent of the Pall Mall faet:t2;hit:r ono o'clock p.m., yesterday, Fass This morniig a mon aI sensible oeople, not excluding Home kniera,gthe ,t,,t indig- ;ic!isdi:ps:lutï;rarF;ea:inft night's vnlgar brawl in the House, at the injury felt to be done to Ireland by the Ultramontane section of Mr. Butt's following. Those who approve of it appear to be rather the fanatical than the Nationalist faotion. There is some talk of a Dublin meeting to give expression to Irish opinion regarding it; but National politicians here, whilst indifferent to the work of agitators, are inexousably timid in resisting them in any public manner. It is understood that there is a complete break-up of the Home Rule party, and a meeting of the council of the league in Dublin will immediately be held on the subject of Mr. Butt's position. A struggle will then ensue between the two divisions of his party, which some think may even place Mr. Butt in a minority. The Dublin Homing Mail declares it to be a striking instance of poetic justice that the artifice of obstruction has broken up the party which relied upon ¡it enrheuPMaie a! th:Che rele casion should be taken advantage of for a reform of the Irish representation by persons of position in society addressing {{ !ls::S\clI:ien task of gaining the real sympathy of the people. The Government, as against the Irish faction, has the fullest support of both Liberals and Conservatives in Ireland, The following is a continuation of our report from 5.30 am. of Wednesday Mr. PARNELL moved to report progress. A lively scene occurred on account of Mr. GRAY stating that he had been told in the lob- bies there was a conspiracy on foot to defeat the opposition to the Bill. ("Order, order.") He did not intend to withdraw the words. Ha had used them advisedly on hiB own responsibility. The CHAII?MAN called upon the Lou. member to withdraw th" expression. M r, GRAY said that he would do so in compu. ance with the advioe of his friends. The CHAIRMAN Does the hon. member with. draw unreservedly Mr. GRAY Certainly. '1 he motion to report progress was rejected by 144 to 5. Mr, Cbilders took the ohair in the placa of Mr. RaikeB at 4.10 a,m. Clause 2G was agreed to by 141 to 5. On Clause 27, Mr. O'DONNELL moved to omit the word not," so that a member of the legislative coun. cil might sit and vqte as a member of the legisla- tive assembly. Sir W. V. HARCOURT said this oonduot amounted to wilful obstruction. Mr. COURTNEY protested against the con. duct of the Government, and as all deliberation had ceased he should leave the House. (Cheers and laughter.) Captain NOLAN protested against the menaces of Sir W. V. Haroourt. He for one should resist the arrangement which the two front benches had entered into. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Faid tho Government had given notice to strike out the clanse, and would do so whatever amend- ments were moved. Mr. BIGGAR moved to report proeresa. Mr. O'DONNELL hoped the right hon. member for Oxford would not keep getting up in season and out of season to threaten them. The right hon. gentleman had spoken ofteuer than any other member. Mr. B. JENKINS said that this oondnct was unprecedented in the hiatorv of the House, and its object was to represent to the Irish people that the Irish members 'were being intimidated. He hoped the Government would deal with theie measures in a manner to vindicate the rights and priviJeges of the House. Mr. privilegPes ARNELL again justified his conduct, especially on the Pmons Bill. If the Govern- ment persisted in their course they must expect retaliation. Hitherto be, had returned good for evil. If other members had done &a he had done Yhis°fIiriv:8 done their duty, and it was not his fult if it was called obstruction. After some remarks from Mr. CALLAN and Mr. O'Connor POWER, the motion to report progress was negatived by 129 to 5. Mr. PARNELL then moved that the Chairman leave the ohair, which was rejected by 130 to 5. Mr. GRAY moved to report progress, which was supported at great length by Mr. Parneli and Mr. O'Donnell, and negatived by 118 to 5. Mr. W, H. SMITH took tho ohair at 10 minntes to seven, and put the former amendment of Mr. O'Donnell to the House, when it was doolared negatived..t.he ruling of the ohair. c, GRAY challenged the ruling of \he chair. Mr. SMITH said he could not do 80. Mr. PARNELL p-t-ted, and asked if it was his ruling. hiUSITH said it for the OOMM!tt" to decide if it would report progress to take the opinion of the Speaker. OPD PÑt:Ved to rOPOTt PvOgrOas, whioh was negatived by 108 to 4. A number of fresh members now arrived, and were greeted with oheem wMrcŸÑLTed that ths Chairman leave the chair, whioh was supported by Mr. Gra,. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQER appealed to tho members "ho op.t; Bill to allow it to pass this tp, pomi&Wt tbom an ample opportunity for any amendmen. on the to rt.PAFNFLL Raid if the Govenuaeat had not t ?pted thi< oaur?4 the Bill might have Wsed in another sitting. They could have relays too, for h: t:r for IIo1.vn)a wtr;o; trstifif, and would soon return with others like a giant refreshed. bir P. O'BRIEN protested against the oonduot of his Irish friends, who would be told by their pariah priest they wore acting like" Damned fools." (" Order, order.") it was a quota- tion, but if it was wrong he would readily with- draw it. The amendment was negatived by 122 to 4. Mr O'CONNOR POWER moved to report progress, which was supported by Mr. Biokjar, who stated that he had had a good sleep aud a good breakfast, and was quite ready to go on. ("Order.") Ho should pay no attention to suoh calls, eicert from the chair. Captain NOLAN supported the amendment. Sir C. liUbSELL sAid that Captain Nolan had been the wire-puller all along, and as an offioer he disclaimed for the army any participation in hie coiiduot. Mr. O'DONNELL than 6tud they could not now BFttto pcraontd qnestions after the manner of thur ancestors. Ho wished to know how long this conttst was to go on, for they were not likely to one in. Mr. CROSS said it was not a question for the Government but for the House to deoido. It was not a question of physical endurance, bat of wil- fal (),?truction. It was not a question of the u?e but of the abnee of the forms of the House, whioh would have to be decided by the oountry at large. The amendment was rejected by 98 to 3. From seven until ten o'clock this process of opposition was continued by Captain Nolan, Mr. O'Donnell, Mr. Biggar, Mr. Gray, and Mr. Kirk, who by turns moved alternate motions for report- h'g progTess,or that the Chairman leave the ohair, which were negatived by largo majorities. Clause 27 was agree 7 to by 77 to 3. On Clause 28, Mr. O'DONNELL moved an amendment, which Mr. LOWTHEB accepted, but stated that he should propose to withdraw the olanae. Mr. GBAY, however, moved to report progress, which, after a protest from Mr. E. Jenkins against the inconvenience of the proposition, was negatived by 89 to 3. Mr. 13IGGAR moved that the Chairman leave the chair. Captain NOLAN suggested a compromise, which Mr. Hardy refused to entertain. Mr. ANDERSON thought it desirable to do something, for the House, having tben exhausted its forbearance, would, if this opposition was per. sisted in, deal resolutely with the 'Iffenden. simtecl i?. V., HARCOURT warned the opponents of the Bill that the charaoter of their opposition was now made patent, and they would have to be dealt with in a very different way. Mr. PELL and Mr. C. Lewis also demanded that some definite action should be taken with such a case of obstruction. Mr, HUGESSEN said that the Liberal party would support the Government in any action, and he hoped it would be swift and strong. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ac. knowledged the support the Government had re- ceived from the majority of the House. He deprecated any passionate or vindiotive course, but some measure of a very stringent charaoter, he was afraid, must be taken, and he would again ask if the opponents of the Government would not avail themselves of the opportunity of recon- sidering their course. Be was reluotant even yet to believe that they would refuse to do so. Mr. O'DONN-ELL said this statement ohanged the circumstances of the case. As the question of physical endurance was given up he was willing to abandon the contBst. On clause 37, Mr O'DONNELL moved an amendment to the effect that the recommendation of money votes b? The Govern or. General to the House of Aseem. bly t:hO:dvï;rb::d:lo teafi:; responsible to Parliament. l'e1iti ::1ed by 137 to 2, blr. Uaikes, at ten minutes past twelve, re- entered the House, and, amidst h 'a, took the place of Sir B. Seiwin?Ibbetson in the chair. A quarter of an hour later, on the 39th Clause, bIr, GRAY made an earnest appeal to the Go- vernment to allow progress to be reported. Mr. PARNELL joined in the entreaty, observing that Mr. O'Donnell was exhausted, and sug- gesting that, in oaBe progress was reported, tlie Scotch business fixed for that day should be pro. ceeded with. Mr. HARDY said the House had already come to a resolution to carry the Bill through at that sitting. (Cheers.) If the hon. member for Dungar. van was exhausted, he had exhausted himself by wasting the time of the House. If, instead of wasting time by motions for adjournment, the hon. member had proceeded with his amendments, the Bill would long ago have gone through com- mittee. The hon. member did not choose to do so; and if he was exhausted, the House was not, and they intended to go on. (loud cheers. ) anf;eó'õÑ1iL having Sk:n o:f\lt1i detar. initiation to go on as the resolve of the Govern. ment, Mr. B. HOPE deolared that it was the deter, filiation sf the House and not of the Govern- ment, and he had never seen members on both sideB so resolved to assert the dignity and respect- ability of Parliament against the smallest and most cont.emptible-(Cries of "Order, order.") Mr. SULLIVAN rose, and with an excited man. ner and in a loud tone of voice moved that the words be taken down. The CHAIRMAN ruled that the words were out of order, and Mr. HO?E immediately withdrew them, and apologised to the Chairman for having used them, but in his experience he had never seen such strong prete. ?'I. to uuui-ttgvi, and ?ch a bold determination to die on the floor of the House, go amusingly and unexpectedly collapse on a mere intimation from the leader of the House, but at some un- certain time something might be done by some- body which might be unpleasant to some mem- berg not personally named.

I THE CHARGE AGAINST MR. JAMES BROWN, OF NEWPORT. I VFUDICT OF GUIITL. mornu)?, before Mr. Baron HtTnd,?dttM?to.n the judge in the Crow? Coart at Mormou?, rf? Jftmea Broirn fra« Si*'j*? f n' ? ?M ?Stoted for a misdemeanour, that he, being a bankrupt, did by mm on of false pretences, with intent to defraud, iudaco one 5S.n Boltham to td?Mce and pay to the uee of the maid James Brown the sum of £ 160 upon a bill of sale on his household furniture, Mr. J. 0. Oriffits, Q C., and Mr. t-elfe (fa. structed b7 Mr. R. Graham) were counsel for the prohccution Mr. Powell, Q,C., Mr. Matthews, Q.C., and Mr Lawrence (instructed by Mr. David) were counsel for the defendant. Mr. GriffitB stated the case for the prosecution. He Baid this was a very important inquiry, both from the facta of the case, and also by reason of the oharacter and position of the defendant. The indiotment contained several counts. The first eet of counts charged the defendant with obtaining money by false pre- tences. The other counts were framed upon what was called the Debtors Act, by which it was tnade a misdemeanour if any person incurred any debt or liability and obtained credit by false pre. tencee, or by any other fraud. The defendant oc- cnpied the position of mayor at Newport on three different occasions; and at the time he oommitted this offence the defendant was a councillor of that borough. It appeared that the defendant had 'VHIICU" n!ry Trong opinion that some of the magistrates of the borough, and Mr. Fox, their clerk 'lad been guilty of certain &eta, and had 'rddth:ef:tf¡:lec:t:nBa1ý :fd.£f Defendant instructed Messrs. Clennell and Fraser to bring actions igainst several persons for the purpose of recovering penalties. The result was tat after one case bad Non heard it was decided that ati he defendant was not entitled to recover these penalties. On that determination the de- fendant in the action (Mr. William ET&ns) was en. titled to be paid the costs of that action. These htd b:ia;d:: nt::e°f¡e T. it was said the defendant was guilty of the crime alleged against him. Defendant reqnired miney, and then a good deal of correspondence ensued between the defendant and his solicitors relative to raising money. The result was that Messrs. Clennell and Eraser obtained for him a loan of X150 from Mr. Hcltham on a bill of sale which,defendant gave on his furniture. This took place towards the latter end of 1875. On the 24th of November, 1876, a petition for adjudication was presented, and defc?ndant WBS adjudicated a bankrupt on the S?,r December, 1876. Hia debts amounted to Al,91 Q 13a 8d and theie was not a farthing of aHets of any kind. It was then found that there was a prior bill of sale to that given by the defen- dant to Holtham, and tbat it had been given by the defendant to Mr. Louis Barnett, of Cardiff, on which thero was a balance of £ 78 owing. After some further remarks the learned counsel proceeded to oall the witnesses. Mr. R. TVeightw, clerk to the registrar of the Newport County Court, produced the file of pro- ceedings in this bankruptcy. Mr. R. Graham, solicitor, Newport, said he was the solicitor for the trustee under the de. fendant's bankruptcy, and he attended his first examination on the 22nd of January last. He called upon the plaintiff to produce certain letters from Messrs. Clennell and Fraser, and he said he had burnt them. Asked him as to the letter of the 20th of December, 1875, end other Letters fol- lowing The purport of these letters was that the defendant wished Clennell aud Fraser to raise money for him; that a bill of sale was men. tfrned that that course was approved by the defendant; and that the letter said hie furniture was quite unencumbered, After going through the contents cf these let'ers, witness said he produced a bill of sale to the defendant, and be faid it waa signed by him. It was dated 3rd of September, 1875, to secure 493, and was executed on behalf of Mr. L. Barnett, of Car- diff. Asked defendant if there was any balanoe due upon that biH of sale, and he said Yes." Produced the bill of sale of 30th of December, ?18o75, between James Brown and John Eust&oe Holtham for £ 150. It was signed by the defen. I Cross-examined Had given the questions and answers from memory. Did not employ a short. hand writer to take down the evidence, because he believed there was no estate. Had known the oeimdant a long time, but he never acted pro. fessionallyforhim. Deferi dant bad asked hi ul ques- tions eome times, but he was not acquainted with his affairs, Had always been friends with the defendant. In May, 387G, defendant spoke to him with reference to certain matters which he had since learnt had to do with Mr. Barnett. Was instructed by Messrs. Clennell and Fraser to take bankruptcy proceedings. l?i ew C391'S, West and Murphy. Had a conversation with Mr. Murphy on the defendant's affairs at the be- ginning of the year, and he SCld that it was a serious matter, as Eiffecting the defendant. Would pledge his oath that he did not say he wou l d I>o glad to withdraw from the prosecution on receipt ] of a amm of money. Said noth?;g about witt. drawing from the prosecution. Did not say his clients would take X150 and costs, or' recommend them to take that sum. Mr. Murphy asked him if he thought his clients would take RlOO, and he I said he wud not tell, but very likely he would see them, and would mention it if ae wiKhed, 1 here vv?; no prosecution at that time. Believed be did not '? was ordered to proceed instan- ter, and he could not have sai/be would allow till four p.m. the next day. Did not believe a word was said as to telegraphing. Saw Mr. West one day and asked him to step into his office. Said to Lim tJha.i!iD. tùo wtle1oct. of Mi• 1)a.v"u oomo EIfort ought to be mado to settle the matter. Ur. West said he would see some of Mr. Brown's friends, and let him know what thy said. Did not Bay Brown was in an awkward position, and ididi:d iMfghth:ea:i(r;i might be taken, but he could not tell what pro. cecdings. Saw Mr, West afterwards, and he said be did not think the defendant's friends would do anything. Was certain he did not say the friends thought it was an attempt to get a higher figure. Mr. G, WI' Jones came to him abont the defend: ant's affairs, and he said it was a serioas matter. Did not say to Mr. Jones that if the affair was not speedily settled the defendant would be in the police-court in a week. Did not say that if the debt and costs were paid tho affair might be settled. He told Mr. Jones he would have nothing to do with a settlement, as the summons had been issued. Mr. Jones asked him to send Mr. Fraser to the Queen's Hotel half an hour before the hearing at the police-court, and he did mention it to Mr. Fraser. Did not know that Mr. Brown indignantly refused tc settle the matter. The trustee in bankruptcy has had the goods realised for the estate, lees the rent. Be-examincd Had always been on good terms with Me. Brown. Mr, James Fraser, of the firm of Clennell and Fraser, solicitors, London, said they acted for the defendant in actions for penalties brought by him. In one a special case was argued before the court, and judgment given against the de- fendant. Conducted the correspondence with the defendant commencing the 20th of December, 1875. Paid the money borrowed by Mr. Brown to Mopars. Hunt and Son, solicitors, who acted for h. Fox. It amounted to .£161 5» 3d. That money was obtained from Mr. Holtham on the t ill of Halo. Advised his client that there W" a tuffieicntly good security. Cross-examined: An authority was given by Mr. Hcltham to take the necessary steps to pro. tect his interests in the event of a judgment against defendant by any other oreditor. They knew that defendant wanted to pay costs, and had spoken to Mr. Holtham, who gave them general instructions to do what they thought best. Mentioned a bill of sale to defendant for tie first time on the 24th of December. The moLey had then beea obtained from Mr. Hol- tham, and waa then in the bank. Did not part with Boltham's money until the bill of sale was executed. On the 30th defendant telegraphed that it had been executed, and then witness paid part of the money to Messrs. Hunt. He-examined Before the 20th of December he knew defendant would require to raise money, and he had mentioned a bill of sale npon his own furniture. Had no knowledge that the furniture was enenmbered until the bankruptoy proceed- ings. Mr. John Eustace Holtham, solicitor at Stone, Staffordshire, said negotiations took place be- tween Mr. Fraser and himself as to an advance to the defendant, and he agreed to advance X150 on suoh security a8 Messrs. ClenneU and Fraser thought sufficient. Instructed his broker to sell out eome stock, and the cheque was made pay- able to Mesera. Clennell and Fraser. Mr. Alfred Hant, of the firm of Hunt and Son, proved that he received the money in respect of costs re Fox. Mr. L. Barnett, of Cardiff, pawnbroker and money lender, said he advanced a sum of money to the defendant on a bill of sale, and there was due upon it JE78 on the 30th of December, 1875. Ho proved for that amount in the bankruptcy. Cross-examined: The time for payment was ex- tended afterwards. Did not authorise his solici- tor to part with the bill of sale to Mr. Graham. Agreed with defendant, in December, 1875, to wait for the balance till February, 1876. Mr. B. Behrings, olerk to Mr. Barnett in De- cember, 1875. conducted the loan on a bill of sale to the defendant in 1875. It was sealed at the time it was signed by the defendant. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Powell submitted that there was no case. This money was said to havel been obtained by false pretences, defend& t h represented on i;!3Ôthre:£:,diš7,fi: waa free and unencumbered in any way, and that there was no jndgment out against him. The question waR whether the money was obtained by defen- dant by that false pretenoo. He took: it that it was clear that it was not so obtained. Mr. Matthews followed on the same side, and contended that the false pretence did not reach 'I C1t>nnell and Fraser until the day after they determined to pay away part of the money. His Lordship said he had not the slightest doubt that this was a question for the jury, and he would not withdraw the case. Mr. Powell asked Mr. Fruer further questions, and he said he had a conversation with Mr. G. W. Jones. It was not suggested that the prma-. cution WDlad be withdrawn if the money was pai 'x Hti:;h1rb:e e;st: got the money before the proaeontion W" in- stituted. stirGrift!ths gummed up the evidenoa vW briefly. brpo_ll then addressed the it ry on ?mUV of the defendant. He said the deferdant r.«ftued to buy off this proaeontion, for he would uot tarnish big reputation by IUoh a course. The prmectl- ? tion h" been instituted for the purrpow of g*Vc!g money due on a debt. Be impqn'ed *he oosd of Mr. Graham in this matter, O;ad said he ob- tained poneasion of Mr. Bame. bID of age in a questionable matter. This .1m not B"Wtt,o prosecution, for he made no Q"pkint agaiut the 4?fe dant with regard to t),o son. psymmi of the d, bt due to him. It may im that h?

Tr. paazo doubt ihe OototattV* frieadawerewiahfnl to aave his reputation; but they dare not do it without consulting the defendant. The defend- ant would not have the owe oompromiaed, and belee the a" came here. He further contended that the moBey was not obtained by virtue of the alleged ?''? P?enoe in tbe tetter of the %3L0tt h of December. The agreement to ad- vanoe the money on the 21st, and not the date of the bill of sale, was the real point in this part of the case. His Lordship commenced hia Mmmin? up by retth'f:rye1lb out of t j eir oon. 'ideration the obeervations made by the levned counsel as to Mr. Graham's conduot. A great deal that had been powerfully urged had notbing to do with this case. No doubt the defendant had been a respectable man, and so far as it went they might take that into aomant; but tbey must not be carried away by any distinctions in dealing with a came in a criminal court. The English of the charge was that the defendant obtained X150 b)' lie. Tho queetion WM, bad the defendant '•lno^the money by false prctece or fraud?

If a man made a false representation ior the purpose of obtaining money, then it was no answer to say that he in. tended to repay the money at some future time. The jury consulted two or three minutes, and then returned a verdiot of guilty. Mr. Powell Mked his lordship if he wonld grant him & on the point that there was no !:ti: false pretence in this matter, and that the mere non-answering a letter was not a false pro- ttnoe in law. His Lordship said the representation consisted in sending up that bill of sale. He should not reserve any point of law. He would not pass sentence till to-morrow (Thursday) morning. Sentence deferred.

I THE CRISIS IN THE SOUTH WALES COAL TRADE. I MASS MEETING AT PLYMOUTH. RESOLUTION TO RESUME WOBK. (k RON OVK KZBTHYK OOBBBSPOlTSBirT.) MEBTHYB, WSDITBSDAT. This morning there was a suspension of opera. tioce at Plymoath and Abomant Collieries, owing to the masters not having granted the men the amount of money mithheld from them by the re- duction of the 10 per oent. eBfM?ed dnriug the iMt two months. Some of the men "ted th4t the deficit in wage which hadtempcrarily taken place to be recouped, and with tnis view a mass meeting was held near the Jrijmouth Works in theafternoon, under the presi- deney of one of the emplcj^s. The proceedings were most orderly. Mr. lzav-id Morgan, Moun- taiu Ash, one of the colliers' representatives on the oonciliation board, was expected to attend, but waa preverttd by illness. A lettter was reai from him, however, in whieh be remarked that if the men were determined to get the two months' money back by force of law they would "t fuhr h:ieàø to;;iw{r:okth; i would they weaken them. His advico, therefore to them was to resume work on the morrow, an A f leet a deputation from amongst themselveswho should wait with him n the S;eesro. Lewis, and endeavour to realise their desires b"f roe of arcr? ment. A longoonveisation followed the reading of thecommunicatioin, and the majorityof the ispftl-ers endorsed Mr. Morgan's opinions. Two or three argned that the acceptance of the 10 per oent. reduction by the men during the two months would be f&W to any legal claim preferred by he :i& a?mi on ilie P:a that the men accepted the reduction in ignorance of facts. and under broad misconceptions. Even- tuaUy it was propwed that. de nutation be sent to the Messrs. Lewis with Mr. Morgan, and that the matter in dispute be deferred to the conciliation board for settlement, should the efforts of tho deputation prove null.

The cash-boi was found in the prisoner's bedroom, with a few ahg- lings in it, after the prisoner had left.

A SHAM FRIENDLY SOCIETY EKAUD. At the Bristol assizes, on Wednesday, before Mr. Justice Lindley, Thomas Bromfield wan brought up on 18 different indictments, charging him with obtaining money by false pretences, and forgery. He pleaded guilty, and, acoordiog to the statement of Mr. Collins, Q.C., who ap. peared to prosecute, the prisoner had been carry- ing en his nefarious practices for years. He had represented himself as the agent of some society which had no existence, had in* duced a larg8 number of poor people to become members, aed had collected their subscriptions weekly. These weekly oontri. butions varied from one penny to tenpenoe per week, according as the members insured for death pay only, or for sick pay or annuities. In passing sentence his Lordship said he could not imagine a worse case, nor a more cruel ease. Aooordmg to the evidence given before the magistrates the prisoner had been guilty of systematic robbery on the largest scale of the poorest people, and he would be doing wrong if he did not punish him to the fullest extent which the law permitted. He would be sentenced to five years' penal servi- tude. The prisoner looked 4m t on hearing the sentence.
