count.
The Attorney General, the Hon. Mr Bramston, said, that with the consent of the Court, he was willing to accept the plea. The prisoner had pleaded guilty to the third count which he could not possibly got out of. But under the peculiar circun stances of the case, he was willing to withdraw the 1st and 2nd counts. The prisoner being mad with drink at the time, It was a difficult queation of fact and law to decide his intent when be fired the shots Now that he had pleaded guilty to the 3rd oouut, the Attorney General thought this would meet the justice of the case.

Atologram of the 20th, from Now York, speaking of this, says that the officers of the P. M. S.

They will place an opposition line on the New York, Panama and San Francisco route, with a steamer every ten days, and with the re- quisite branch lines on the Central American coasts, in sotive competition with the P. M. S. S. Co. On the part of the Pacific Mail Co. a vigorous effort will be made to complete the Costa Rica Railroad, which has been so many years building, in order to be quite even with the Paname Railroad in the contest. The Pacific Mail proposes to get control of and complete the Costa Rica road and send its passengers and freight over that line instead of the Isthmus route. To this end it is understood that a corps of engineers has been sent to Costa Rica to complete surveys to deter- mine the exact position of the road and its plan, and push to completion the eastern division. The English stockholders, aick, disgusted and thoroughly worn ont, are now ready to sell out the original contract to the American Company, which will complete the great work. Mr Sidney Dillon, of the Union Pacific and Pacific Mail, is regarded as a prominent mover in this new scheme, and he is expected to take personal control of it.
Mr Handley on behalf of the prisoner denied that he had received any money in excess, and called the other two firemen tu saystantiste his statement. The learned Cotunel contended that even if he had recuived the money, it would not amount to obtaining money by false pretences, It was obtained through the negligence of the Captain. Mr Handley quoted Russell on Crime to support his argument. In the end the case was put to the jury, who re- turned a verdict of not guilty-by a majority of four against three.
The prisoner was then discharged.
