EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY.

SELDOM has a more singular case occupied the attention of acourt of ksj than the ckarga of conspiracy to defraud the North-Eastern Railway Company, which, after four days' hearing before Mr Justice Malhew at tha Durham Assize, terminated yesterday in, a verdict for the defendants. The alleged conspirators! are Dr. Abrath and Michael M'Mann, the first a medical man, enjoying a large practice in Sunderland, and well. known for many years in that town; the cecond a young Irishman of humble position ' described by the somewhat elastic title of "general dealer." This rather oddly assorted pair were alleged to have been brought together through a collision which occurred on the North- Eastern Company's line on the loth, of September, 1880. M'Mann was a third, class passenger on that occasion, and a few days afterwards having consulted Dr. Abrath professionally, he made a claim upon the company tor compensation, al« leging that he had suffered injuries of a very severe kind. Hia story was that the shock of the collision had thrown him from his seat on to the floor, where he came into violent contact with the shells of soma Brazil nuts. These, it was alleged, cv through his dress, and produced a couple o flesh wounds, which, however, were not held important, except as evidence of the force with which he was shot from his seat. He affirmed that he had sustained other injuries of a more obscure, less measureable, but much more scnoua kind, aad the medical officers of the rail way company were invited to recognise the symptoms of severe shock and injury to the spinal cord, producing partial but probably progressive paralysis. One at least of the medical men employed by the con-pans' seems to have accepted the story, but the other was sceptical as to the external wounds having been produced in the way stated. However, these wounds were not really material; and the two doctors were so far satisfied of the reality of the more serious injuries alleged to have becu sus tained that they would not take the respon sibility of advising the company to resist the claim. It was accordingly compromised by their paying £725 as dam ages and a farther sura of £300 as costs. Undue precipitation in parting with sums of this magnitude is an error of wlnch rail way companies are rarely accused by the most severe of critics. And in this case the North-Eastern Company appear to have re pented of their promptitude. It somehow came to their knowledge that the draft for £725 had been cashed by Dr. Abrath, who deposited £250 in the joint names of him* self and two other gentlemen of unque-v tionable respectability, and took there* mainder with him in notes. In an unlucky moment the officials of tha company con ceived the suspicion that Dr. Abrath had converted the £475 to hia own uses, and' their minds, once imbued with this idea, became eagerly receptive of corroborative information, which was abundantly Bap* plied. They were told that the two wounda supposed to hare been made by nutshells were really old scars of eleven years' stand ing, which Dr. Abrath had lanced and treated with irritating liquids for the purpose of deceiving the com pany's doctors. They further learned that the depression ascribed to shock and spinal injury was really nothing but the resuh of a regimen of dry I bread and weak tea, to which Dr. Abrath I confined his accomplice when a show of dis- Iress had to be made to their doctors. Thai company did not obtain all this important information for nothing; on the contrary, they must have spent a great deal of money in police investigations, which were doubt lets made with all the far-seeing sagacity that usuaUy marks the operations of " the force," and might have proved invaluable but for the ' circumstance that they \ were carried on among relatives and friends of M'Mann, who, until he heartlessly refused them a share of his damages, were ready to swear to the genuine character of hia claim. The sudden; conversion of these rogues to the ways ol honesty was aot, however, held to detract from the trustworthiness of their state ments j and the company formulated against Dr Abrath and his patient the grave charge of conspiracy to defraud. During the earlier stages of the trial every* thing went admirably for the company. Their witnesses came up to the scratch like men, and produced by their joint labours a complete catena of circumstan tial evidence. One swore that he was in the carriage with M'Mann when' tha : accident happened, and that his back never' touched the floor, on which there were no nutshells. Another accompanied M'Mann to Dr. Abrath'a, and noticed that- when he returned from the interview he "seemed, changed." The same witness averred that Dr. Abrath was constantly looking him up in public-houses to bid him " keep hia , heart np " and to inform him that he would "make Mr Railway sit op." Another j witness averred that the doctor said there was nothing |Jo go upon but the scars, and that he cut them open afresh each time the, [ company's doctor* were expected, dressing them with a lotion that made M'Mann bite the bedclothes with agony. In this way » : ,' r really formidable case was got up against the two defendants, a casa which would have seemed unanswer able but for a certain ' nuance' of doubt as to the entire trustworthiness oi the witnesses. The first said Be had noil been " in trouble " more than thirty times. The second admitted that he had once been cowicted of horse stealing. The next had been fined for deserting from the militia, and, like a fourth, ia now in the pay of the railway company. All had signed state- , mentß in the office of *'Mann's solicitor in support of the claim they now came to rebur, and determined on perjur«. . ing themselves when they found thai,.; > Dr. Abrath did not mean to let „• f them have M'Mann's money. In these cir« ... cumstancee, it is not very wonderful that the judge commented with some severity upon the character of the company's wit«, ~.„' nesses, or that the jury, after hearing cvi* dence for theldefence, returned a verdief ol ' "not guilty," after five minutes' consulta* tation, appending to it a strong expression* of their opinion that Dr. Abrath left tha court without a stain on bis character.-J <:' : (" Times," 27th January.) x i « > ■

Throwing himself in the way Of the sturdy beggar, the reverend " bobby " was at once appealed to for a loan of five shillings, and on tbe plea that he had not : that sum on him, got the rogue to accom> paay him "home."
