Wm. Michael Downes, charged with feloniously removing the stamps from, a certain deed with intent to use such again, was acquitted on one indictment. There were six indictments against the prisoner charging him with offences of a similar nature, but the Grand Jury found no bills in three of the indictments, and on the fourth he was acquitted. There are two charges yet remaining to be heard. At the conclusion of the business the Grand Jury handed down the following presentment:—The Grand Jury present think that the evidence brought before them in the cases " Queen v.

The Court adjourned till to-morrow morning.
