Singular trial that of Risk Allah Bey against the Daily Telegraph.’ The speaker was a curious little old man, c'canly dressed, cleanly shaved,, with a short crisp white hair, and a face like a red pippin : such a face as is hard ly ever seen out of this country, and even here rarely, save among farmers gamekeepers, or other* who are much in tlie open air, and at ail treasons. 'L his little—for he was very small indeed as to size—this little old gentleman, was en countered in a first class smoking car riage, on the South Western Railway. ‘Curious trial that 1 fore the hold Chief Justice,’ continued the* old gentle man, as if lie wished to promote further conversation. ‘I was once tried ior rnttr and r myself:’ with a pleasant smile, ‘Yes, said the little old gentleman, ‘and’ (look ing pleasanter than ever), “very nearly hang too. 1 did not get off free. I was sentenced to transportation for life; went through seven years ot it ; and then they pardoned me for what I had never done. ‘You see,’ said the little old gentleman smiling more than ever, as the five other smokers in the carriage stared at him : •You see, I was for mstny years a cattle merchant in London, ily business con fcisted in receiving fiom abroad—from Holland, Germany, Normandy, of where ever I could form a connection—oxen, cows, sheep, pigs, some on my own ac count , others to be sold on commission fur correspondents who sent their ani mals to me for sale. Tho trade was a profitable one. Every beast sent over on my account was fully insured, so that if it died on its passage I came upon the insurance company. I iiad very few bad debts and taking one thing with another I may have fully calculated upon realiz ing at least twenty-five per cent, on my capital every three months. In other words, I got a profit of a hundred per cent, per annum on the money I had com me need business with. •lint with money comes the des re for more. There was a time before 1 began to deal in cattle, when I thought mysefl rich if at the end of a year I had a coup le of hundred pounds in bank over and above my expenses for the past twice: mouths. Now it was otherwise. 1 la mented that 1 had not always an idle bal ance of silt en hundred or two thousand pounds. I was fond of money for mon ey s sake 1 could not make money fast enough lor my wishes, in the cattle tiado and therefore determined to do a little in the loan and discounting way. *lt is nearly twenty y« nrs ago, A have gone, through a deal ot trouble Bince. My system was never put too many eggs in one pot-new r to lend wry much to any single person—but to lend munv small amounts to various people. 1 us. dto answer tin; idverti.se menis o' tra it s non in difficulties. and if I found that a hoi rower had good sod) : l ilies to otter, I would lend him perhaps j thirty or forty pounds, taking ten pounds for tlie iieertmmedation for a month, ami much more in propo.tiufi fur longer peri ods. One of my clients was a printer with a small business, near what was ti l'll called the New-mad, now Maryle- J bone road. He had often borrowed twen Itv thirty and once as much as sixty, , pounds Iroin me, and had always repaid !me to the day. The security lie gave me was always the same, the pent note of hand of himself and his brother, a grocer up Hackney way. The name of this bore lower was Strange Edward Su.uige. i He was m a delicate state ot health, al i ways suffering hum his chest and in se ven' winters lie used to be laid up for. weeks together with a Lad cough, lie I was a widower, without children. 1 ‘One day St range came to mo and said i that he had a very excellent oiler to en- I ter into papjaiei ship with a pi inter, who ; ; had been established in business several i years. The sum required to be paid lor 1 the partnership was three hundred i pounds and he asked me to advance him that am nut upon the security ot a pMi . icy of insurance for one thousand pounds . upon his own life. On inquiry, 1 hmii-l : ; tliiit years before, Strange Had when a I young and healthy man, effected an in- ; j sura nee e pon his life for five hundred j i pounds and afterwards increased it to j I. no thousand pounds. This policy he, i hull always managed to keep tip, and still wished that it would lmt relapse, j 1 As it Inn! been running on h r nearly i twenty years, and as lie paid a very ! small premium, and was now in bad ! I ealth, tho insurelice - company would : have been glad to purchase it back.- ; | Therefore, after looking at tin; aft.nr in j every puss;bio wav, 1 came to tho coil'- 1 elusion that ike security was good, and j and that 1 might safely advance the sum of tlfrec hundred pounds upon the seciiri j ty of the policy being endorsed over to me. This was done, and 1 advanced the j money ! Gentlemen, the worst day’s bus iness 1 ever did in my life. ‘ln genetal a creditor sees but little of Ins debtors,-whether tin y are lew or, many.. The man who owes money gen- I erali’y avoids the individual to whom he j owes it. Hut it happened otherwise with Strange and myself, M ith new ! I business that he had bought, lie was not ] | expected not even by his partner t,o in 1 lei sere; and his own indifferent health j ! made it very desirable that he should j |he as free as possible from the eoidini'd j ! air of the ch sc printing rooms. The j partnership lie had purchased secured I ! him a certain amount of income which ; together will) what he lead besides, al . lowed him to go about in diverse parts | of the country, traveling being much re -1 commended by his medical attendant,, j linowing that, I had to make weekly trips to Harwich, and that I had often to go to Rotterdam in the way • f business ; when looking after.cattle, lie asked me i whether he could be of use to me as a clerk? He asked for no salary, only j his actual traveling expenses ; and joi this he was to keep my accounts, write and copy my letters and make himsell generally useful. Thu bargain was a ; good one for both parties. On the one hand any business was increasing every j week and having to knock about a great J | deal at fairs and see a great, many deal- | : era, I had no time to look properly alter ; my acounts which sometime got. rather complicated. Oil the other hand, Strai) igo had enough to live upon .but not ! enough to pay traveling expenses with comfort Having been friend- Ibr sever al years when we travelled together we always had our meals in common ; and ia country places or where the inns j were very full vve generally took a duub lo bedded loom between US. ‘Alter a time 1 found Etrunge’s assist ance of such value to me that 1 was aid. to increase my connexion very materia! I y indeed. Being a shrewd man, he was j able at the end ot a twclve-1r1014.il ,to 1 make purchases and conduct my bu.si ness as well as I could. This led, nat urally enough to a partnership being formed between us by the terms of which 1 was to lend him five hundred pounds i to put into the busiues of which he wax ; to have a fourth of the net profits. As : surely for tho five hundred pounds he insured his life lor anothei thousand. Thus, when we commenced working to-; gather as partners, Strange owed me. Cight bundled pounds, amt 1 held p dick* ofutstiiuiice on bis life for two thousand j pounds. “Our business trips used generally to last from a week to a fortnight. Some times we were detained at the port to which vve had brought the animals, for lour or five days, awaiting the means pi shipping them to England ; for it is not J every steamer that will take bullocks, or sheep or pigs as cargo. Sometimes one of us would remain in London conduct in" the sales of such animals as ins partner sent him from abroad. Ami this had happaned when the event ot which I am now going to tell you took place. ‘4s Strange could speak I rencli very well, I often sent him alone to the fairs in Normandy lirittaimy, nearly always i going myself to those in Holland and tuc north ot Germamiy It was somewhere about the end of a certain Miy that he went over to France, intending to re main there about six weeks, and go from ouo fair to another, on a certain round.

About six o'clock I took up my I,at •nid went to see some friends in tho town Wi.en 1 got back it wftt past eleven o’-j clock, and Htrango tho huui-c.naid told me had been in tied asleep more than an i hour.

Leaving the latter place at half pad liv in tl e morning it was hall past six in the e\ oiiiii r before i got to town. 1 W'eiil to bed got up early next day, and, while 1 was sittin rat breakfast, with my wee our servant told me that two gentlemen wished to speak to me. 1 went down to see them, and, before 1 could open my in mill to ask them what they wanted, found myself with handcuffs on, arrested for the murder ol Edward Strange. ‘lt seems that, finding Strange did not comedown by half past nine, the pm lei went rip to call him . lie found the door I inked imt no key in it. Alter knocking Horm-tirne on the outside the door was broken open, ami poor strange was found with his throat out from car to ear, am! a, razor in his hand. The key ol the door was afterwards found in the oofb 0 room, under tho very bench on which 1 1 bad sat to drink my cap of coffee before starting. “I was brought before the magistrate at Bow street the next morning, and was i |,y biin sent down to Southampton to await, the result of the coroner’s in j quest, upon my partner. 'll e verdict was wilful murder, and, after commitment by the magistrate to the sessions, 1 was put : on tiial for my life at Winchester, j ‘ The trial lasted only a few hours It i was fully proved that Strange and my self had quarreled and had high words the night before, and that 1 bad said I did not care how soon he died, so that 1 could recover the money, 1 had lent him. A great dial was made of the fa- 1 that bv'stiangfe’s di nth l should be entitled ’to tho insurance upon his life to tin; a-j ; mount of two thousand pounds, by which 1 -hon'd he a clear gainer of one thou j sand two hundred. It was further shown j that the razor found in poor Strangl'd! hand was mine, and three medical men j j declared their conviction that, although (.bar, instrument was undoubtedly used to kill the dead man, it must have beeif placed in his hands after death. More over, there were not only evident marks ,of a ’struggle about the bed and bed clothes, but Strange’s throat was cat from right to left, which no one could have done unless lie bad been left band ,ed man, which Strange was not. Then, (•'again, the fact of the hodrsom door be i iug ’locked, ami. the key hid elute to where 1 had hrciikfuslcd, (old tearfully •! against me. 11 was clear that Strange .could not by any possibility have cut his own throat, and then locked the door l of his room 011 tho oumide. It was at tempted, by my counsel, to threw dis credit upon this part ot the evidence— The learned gentleman tried very hard to elicit, something which might even lead the jury ’l > imagine that tin: door had been looked after tho murder, and 1 that some person unknown had uiiknow -1 inglv let the key drop in the Coffee room. But it was of no avail whatever. It clearly proved that the key had been in side the 11.'ill - when 1 went up to bed, and that it had never been seem again until il was found in the coffee-room. Mv de fence tried hard to make out that some i person likely to commit the mUrder j j might have been in the house on that day, hut all of no use. As the trial went on, j ; even 1, who knew my innocence, eouhl i not help allowing to mysoll that the ev idence, though purely circumstantial, | j was Very strong against me. The only j points in my favour were, that, oil the j , day ol the murder 1 was supposed to have 'committed, I tiaveludpip to London, and j had not the least appearance of a man I who had anything on his mind, Again,; Si range was known to have had on his persoqa gold watch, and a purse con- Uiiiiing a few sov .oigns art 1 twenty live , pound noies, the numbers of which latter wore ascertained at the bank at Booth ; anipton, whine ho had procured them in • exchange Ibr a bank notes bill. The ; watch had been taken, and wa-i never . traced;* the ’novengns had also disap j pea led; hut the bank-post had been cx elianged at ihe Bank of England on the day after the murder, and before I, as 1 hilly proved, had any communication whatever with any one in London. Os this last point my. counsel made the most, lmt it. did not hi Ip mu much, il anything. The jury retired, and alter d■■liberating about half an hour, returned into court, and declared, through llit:: 1‘ fill email, that 1 Was guilly of the Wlllul murder of Edward Strange. “Gentlemen, a man who has gone through that, ordeal—who has heard the jury pronounce him guilly of capital ci iino, and heard the judge pass settence of death upon him a man, 1 says, gen t’emen, who has gone through that ordeal, and si ill lives to 101 l tho tale, may (or am I presumptuous?) he looked upon as a man who has really gone through what, in these days, would bo called a ! sensational time.

We find the following explanation in tho correspond once of the New York World: The two parlies now at war in Hayti are known by the expressive titles of the “Liyard’ 1 and the “Uncos.” The “Liy rrd ’ are the suppoi tors of Salnava, the "Un cos” his enemies. These names origina ted daring the ‘carnival,” a few years hack, when "politics were expressed in songs, to the beat of drums; and in one those songs the following sentiment was expressed: “Dure is no house Du tiyurd don’t lib: i )ere is no tree Do tiyurd can't climb!” fmeaning that there was no position to vvliirh too low-black laborers could not successfully aspire), and this being set! to a popular air, was sung with great z :st by all the lower orders of society, while ihe children of the classes learnt il ; horn their nurses. The liyurd affording j an exetdout idea of insignificance, aecom-1 pained with agilty and skill—the other | poetical party toned vent for the decla ration of their sentiment in the same Im inerous method, styling themselves “Fa cos'' (a black parrot which feeds upon liyaids), and the air was sung— ‘•De ('iicos, O! <1 j Cacos, olu’ •‘Do (.'acoa cat the liyurd oh” This affords t one little idea of the respeef ive characters engaged 111 the present I struggle in lluyti. The "Cacos” party 1 are the better classes of the people [the ! proprietary party); - the liyurds are the lower classes, as the laborers, tho I’ie qnent, barbers, shoemakers, and draymen —and these arc the supporters of Sal- naves’ Government.
