have merely done what has been done in the scrip market from the first, namely taken advantage of their superior knowledge and experience to sell what others wero ready enough to buy. The conduct of these dis appointed speculators puts me in mind of the boy who, after having eaten his cake, wanted his money back ; so with them, they made a bad purchase and can't stand by it. lam no apologist for the Green Harp shareholders, but I maintain that in selling their shares at the highest figure they have only done what has been done in the Caledonian and other mines by those whose position gave them tho advantage.—l am, &c, Faib Play.

.; - To the Editor of the Evening Stab. YLft,— Much has been said about the alleged Green Harp swindle, and a deal of odium thrown upon the original shareholders for their part in the transaction ; but the real authors of it in my opinion are those persons who acted as brokers. It is well known that two or three sharebrokers lent their influence and name, and procured those of others, to float the scrip upon the public, aud it was by this means that the swindle was worked. Had the brokers acted in a legitimate and honest manner, and sold the Bcrip of the directors and others in their real name, suspicion would at once have been created in the minds of the public on finding, that it belonged to the very men who wero reputed not to be selling, and who were supposed to know the actual state of the mine, and thus the loss of thousands of pounds would have been averted, —I am, &c-, A Bbokeb.

To the Editor of the Evening Sb.at Sib, —It is currently reported that the pro prietors of the Evening. Stab have been threatened with an action at law for pub lishing tho leader of Saturday last in re the the Green Harp mine. But I imagine that the actors in the swindle which you so fearlessly exposed will prefer keeping their crime earned profits, at all events until such time as they are confiscated as the assets of convicted felons. Prosecute for defamation of character indeed! as if the provinoe of journalism were not to expose villainy and fraud ! The idea of being fastidious in adjec tives, or simply deprecating in moderate terms such acts as theirs. Why, all ordinary forms of expression seem miserably tame when speaking of this ruthless robbery; and I am not aware that a London burglar is addressed in well-weighed words of mild reproof when convicted of housebreaking —an act, by the way, which is positively noble as compared with the acts of tbe " Boys." To be sure wo (the victims) are in some measure to blame for our own folly. Knowing from almost universal testimony the donbtful character and shady reputation of the original proprietors of the mine (who were of course directors), we should never have invested until the infusion of now blojd|into the direotory gave some guarantee of honest dealing with the property. However, we did not then fully realize the depth of scoundrelism which, though practised by men hardly able to read or write, and quite devoid of intellect, has still for them resulted in an infamous .success. Although, for that matter, I do not agree with those who speak of this an a, clever swindle, as I take it that any half-dozen unscrupulous ignoramuses combining together and making up a joint-stock fund of lies could always do what they have done, especially if a share broker could be found with a character as black as his visage to give those falsehoods their full and complere effect. A gold watch and chain, I think, would not be too good a return for services so rendered. Per haps there is one redeeming feature in tbe case. It seems the " Boys" were conscientiously impartial in distribut ing their favours. If rumour says truly, more than one reverend father has been made the joyful possessor of the precious stock; while tho " bosom friends" who have been " put in to a good thing" can be counted by the dozen. Now, the quegtion is, what is to be done ? It is superfluous to reproach these ruffians with having pocketed so many thousands by a swindle, as that is a fact on which they hourly congratulate each other with self-complacent grins. The law allows many loopholes of escape, but it does seem strange of the chairman of di rectors, at a public meeting of shareholders, can with impunity make a statement which is deliberately untrue/or the purpose of selling his shares immediately afterwards. Much more remains to be said, but I fear trespassing on your space.. I trust, however, that in the public interest you will allow up the the course you have taken in successive leaders until every glaring act of fraud in this matter has been held up to execration and contempt.—l am, &c, Scbieiana.

A VERY AWKWARD SLIP.

AMUSING- DEFENCE OF A PBIBONER CHABGED WITH FELONY.

At the Gloucestershire quarter sessions on Thursday, James William Williamson, aged 65, shoemaker, was indicted for stealing a coat, the property of Mr. Bayley, tailor, of 321, High street, Cheltenham, on the 13th of January. Mr. Baker prosecuted, and prisoner defended himself, much to the amusement of the court. Mr. Bayley said that the man took the coat from a hook outside his shop, and that it was afterwards found upon him. The man now asked when the transaction took place—and if he was not in a debilitated condition at the time, adding," I believe your window is in juxtaposition with a toy shop, and forms a spacious convex front ? and putting other such questions. He asked another witness, a milliner, who saw him take the coat, if it was possible for him to lift it from the hook. She replied, " You managed to reach it." He then proceeded to address the jury in dramatic fashion, paying, " This case is, I believe, unparalleled, and I- am thoroughly confident that a similar one has not been encountered in this court. It is a most brutal imposition on an individual of my age. In order to account for my con dition I must go back three or four days prior to the affair, when I was forced to seek employment as a labourer in an agricultural! town, and, not being acquainted with machinery, I met with an accident and fractured my jaw, so that for three days I *ook nothing but a little gruel and other yds. My heart and nervous system were <StVn out of order in consequence of this injury. I then resolved to seek employment in the aristocratic town of Cheltenham, and walked 28 miles there. While walking along High street, after crossing opposite to prosecutor's shop, my foot slipped on the pavement, and, to prevent myself from going through the plate glasß front, I threw my hands up and caught hold of a coat, which fell on my head. Of course, as an honest man should do, 1 walked into the first door to make an apology and explain matters. But this happened to be the toy shop, and, while I was in there, in walks Old Bayley, and, like Bhylock, demands his pound of flesh. Now, gentlemen, is it credible that a guilty man in a state of trepidation would do such a thing after carrying his act into effect? Prosecutor stated that it did not require a jerk to pull the coat down. If England were a land of gibbets, as formerly, for 18s. more, I should have ■uffered death. In ten minutes I could have

been a mile away. And yet if I had stolen it, do you think I would walk into the lion's mouth? I have briefly given the unsophisti cated facts of the case, and let me impress upon yon that there was no intention of felony on my part, and that this has been corroborated by prosecutor himself.'' The jury, however, found him guilty; he was proved to have been convicted four times boibre; and the chairman sentenced him to two years' hard labour.— Weekly Budget.
