According to the depositions the act was committed under the pressure of debt, and poverty, without, apparently, any serious intention of fraud. The sentence, therefore, would he light, namely six months' imprisonment withThard labour. This ease closed the criminal sittings. and the Court was formally adjourned until Monday morning at ten o'clock.

The " Post " last nigh;,, referring to the discussion yesterday on Sir Georgo Grey's motion fortiie production of proofs, says : — " What shall be thought of Ministers of the (row!) who are making violent and virulent speeches bristling with false charges against tiLoii political opponents, and should then " cook " the proof slips of the * Hansard' report thereof, in order that their words may appear in a toned-dor/n and modified form? Clearly, such an action would be characterised by all right-thinking persons as tricky, base, and dishonorable ; yet it is just this act which Sir George Grey accuses Mr Ormonu or. while Mr Sheohan brought forward strong corroborative evidence of the charge. Sir George Grey wanted to obtain proof slip:? of Mr Ormond's speeches corrected by that gentleman, in order to sheet home the charge ; but ultimately he withdrew the motion, and the matter hua been referred to the Reporting Debates Committee. The purpose of Sir George Grey has, however, been served by his merely calling attention to an act at once k> unwarrantable and objectionable. This tampering with reports, to serve purposes, should meet with universal reprobation." NAPIER, this day. SALE OF UNION SHARES.
