A STRANGE STORY.—LAMENTABLE FRUITS OF ILL-GOTTEN GAINS.

a t the City Police Court, Melbourne, very lately, a man.named, Williams /was brought up on remand, charged with the theft of a retorting tank lid ; and as no owner could be fonnd was again remanded, to give the police an opportunity of tracing the owner. On the same - day, b^ wife appeared in his ab sence to answer a charge of not having com plied with .the compulsory clauses ..of . the. Education Act. The.^woman was clean, well ordered to all' appearances,' and said she was poverty stricken ; the man, as he had been seen in the dock on his first appear ance, was a drunken, dissipated sot. Wil liams, in the year 1855, was employed by the late Mr Ballerstedt as a miner, at a wage of £1 per day, in the first claim that gentle man held on the Victoria Reef—the claim which was the foundation of his fortune. The were'twd other men also in his employ, named Roberts and Frost, on thesamd terms/ Through some means, never clearly ex-' rlatned. the three—Roberts, Frost, and Williams —become possessed of tbe know ledge that Mr Ballerstedt, instead of holding twelve miners' rights, the number of 12ft claims he had taken held positively only ten. Thereupon they jumped 24ft of the north end of his claim.' The case "was heard in the Law Courts, and verdicts given against Mr Ballerstedt. From that piece of ground in less than twelve months the usurpers netted, it is generally believed, over £30,000: but as, after their first crushing, they erected a small machine of their own, and kept their doings quiet, little was really known of the extent of .their.gains. With the peculiar madness of the time, the part ners rushed' into the wildest dissipation.- The first)Jhi°g i dppp,'wtfig, to get wives, and. they all . married, women _ who, if not in good positions monetarily, were in decent posjtipps. , At. each we'ddin^ there were congregations of persons of every sort and description, and the hill-side was ablaze with bonfires, and the valley of the happy family ran with rum and brandy. Time passed on, and Roberts got into another golden claim lower down the reef, out' of which he came with £20,000 at least to his credit. His story may soon be told. He took his wife to Melbourne, bought aome, property there; and killed her by his conduct in six raclnths. Bit by bit his possession went from him, and three years ago he was engaged as a shoeblack in Bourke street. Frost tp'pk Ms money home to Ireland; where he bought .a farm,, bnt did not settle on it for long, hifc\e*reer ending in a workhouse, where he is believed to have died unknown and uncarecf for. The third party in the act of dishonesty which may be believed robbed Mr. Baiier'stedt of neariy £80.000, as we have said, appeared at the City Police Court yesterday, a broken, hardened man. There was something piteous in the wife's appeal to the Bench—"l had a bright time for the first year of my married life; but it faded quickly, and my husband is a confirmed, hopeless,drunkard."
