At the time he gave the cheque, the defendant was under the firm impression that he had suffelent funds to meet the sum, but On returning to his house that evening ho found his pass book, which was sent from the Poblis Works Department, and on inspecting it he found that he had only 89.34 in the bank.

Defendant also gave a chaque to Mesere. Hastings & Hastings, which he post-dated. Payment of the cheque on February 8th was stopped, as the money had already been paid by Watling to the Hip On Co. Of the two cheques dated April 18th one for 262 was due for rent till the end of April, while the other was rent for May, as he would not get out of the house before the 16ther 17th of that mouth. When he gave the cheque for 810 he was unaware that another for 820 had been cashed. He had not seen the wok since the end of April. The funds ho was expecting from Canton was $850 he had lent, and which was arranged to be paid at the end of March. He had no written acknowledgment of the debt. The arrangement was verbal.

SIR, With regard to your circular letter of the 4th instant addressed to British Commercial Fiente in the Colony on the subject of the encouragement of Volunteering, I have now the bonome to anolone a lettor which I have received from Mr. C. H. Ross offering, on certain terms, to raise and train a Company of

"Boots"

As one of the most important of the condi- tions mentioned by Mr. Ross is, that the Banks and leading Firms should encourage their men to join and give them the necessary leave of absence to render themselves afflient, I wrote, as per euclosed letter, to several Banks and Firms, who have all approved the scheme.

I have the honour therefore to ask that you will lay the proposition before HE. The Offer Administering the Government, with a view to His Worship-When did you know your Bahis sanctioning the raising of a body of Boosts

It may appear to H.E. that the numbers proposed are not large, but I venture the opinion that, if once a good start is made and the young men of the Colony realise that there is opportunity to serve with congenial neigh bours in the ranks and under offlbers of their choice, a considerable impetus will be given to Toimteering.
