The inquiry woe resumed yesterday morning, and the interest excited by it appeared unabated. It is remarkable that none of the peasantry from the surrounding district have yet made their appearance at the inquest. The military camp, which is a great novelty in that part of the country, is daily visited by respectable persons from Limerick, and other plans in the vicinity. The Ant witness examined was a polioe•cooatable. Sub-constable John Meagher, of Knocklong, in the county of Limerick, sworn—Was on duty in Siz-m;le bridge on the 22nd of July. About fifty men came here with me. I was in charge of the temporary barracks, nearly opposite the Court-Douse. Myself and one man were in charge of the house. The others weie on duty. It and a shot fired that day. I was an observer of what took place during the day ; of everything that took place in the locality where I was. Did not see any rioting, or stones thrown by the people. The shot was fired between twelve and one o'clock. Saw a gentleman who I was told was Mr. Wilson that day. Saw hlm on a ear at the upper end of the street addressing the people. In about an hour or three-quarters after I SAW sticks given up. Mr. Wilson addressed the people a second time. Witness is fifteen years and four months in the constabulary. Das been at fairs and markets, and frequently saw sticks in the hands of the countrymen. After Mr. Wilson addressed the people they gave up the sticks, and witness threw them into the barracks; thinks that about one hundred sticks were given up ; witness was standing at the right-Mind side of the door, with his back to the wall, when be heard the first shot. Only had his sidearms on. lie ap prehended no danger or disturbance, as the people had left the place at that time. heard some one say that the horse soldiers were a ming with voters, and the people dis persed, some up and some down. My belief is that the people went to see the soldiers, but what their object was I don't know. iiiy —I now so& you distinctly, from the demeanor or conduct of the people, was there any apprehension of riot or tumuit ? _ _ Witness —I don't think there was. I have no doubt but that people always gess at and foUow soldiers when they are marching. I recollect three contested elections—one in Bandon and two in Limerick. The last one for Clare was a fourth. There was no greet incitement in Sit mile-bridge up to the time the shot was fired. From what I saw all was peaceable and quiet. In aboLt halt • minute or so after the first shot was fired I heard about five or sit shots, as if fik-firing by the army or police. (The witness then slapped his hands, denoting the time the firing of the four shots occupied, which was only eight seconds. There was a lapse of half • minute betweea the first shot and the four that followed). Saw the military coming out of the lane that day. My attention was directed to the lane when I heard the tiring. I was looking in that direction. There was a panes after the firing, and I saw ten or fifteen persons run out of the lane, and the soldiers in a confused way after them, at a distance of about • yard. The principal part of those who ran out from the lane closed In to near where the police were, at the right of the courthouse. I didn't observe what way they were re. °rived by the police. I saw some where we were. There was • party of police stationed near Miss Wilson's gate. Saw the military come from the lane in the shape of a horse-shoe. They halted in the centre of the street in direct line with the lane. Soma allots were fired by them. The first shot that attracted my attention struck the jamb of the door where I was standing, and the mortar of the wall struck within an inch of my neck. There was another policeman standing with me. The ball must have gone between us both. I faced round to go into the house, and saw a man running as if to get into the barracks, when he received • ball in the thigh and fell upon his knees. He cried out be was shot. I was inside the house, and he asked me to help him into the house, and I did so. I saw that man before. He appeared to me to have an ordinary description of walking stick in his hand. I cannot positively swear whether or not the man I allude to came from the lane or not, but when I saw him he was in the middle of the Must. When I pulled in the man I heard a ball strike the slates of the house, and on. of the slates fell oa my cap. I would not know the soldiers that I saw fire the shots. When the shots were fired the soldiers were standing where I first described them. They may have moved a perch or two. In my opinion there were four shots fired in the street. I saw • man running from the lane up the Lodge road, and • sol dier charging him. To Mr. Graydon—lt was my duty that day to guard the police (temporary) barracks. I might have walked • perch or two from the door. I could know of nothing that was going on down the village, or in the lane where the soldiers were.

The wee I'd be ea the oaf* side, I should say there were horn eight to twelve shots in the lane, and three or four after wards. Mr. Graydon--And you have said that everything was quiet betties this tint, ? Witness—As quiet as a lamb. Mr. Graydeo—You swear that ? Witnees—God help us, what pride you take, a high-bred men, In tessing a poor " spalpeen like me, and you not knowing whether he ate his breakfast er not. (Laughter.) The people were dead at any rate, and got reason. Mr. Graydon—Now, again, can you tell me what num ber of peep), wen in the lane ? Witness—Will you take it by guess-work? Mr. Grayrten—l will take it any way; come, now. Witness—Well, there were from two to a hundred. (Laughter.) Mr. Grayden—l really mast protest against this levity. When such answers are given is a serious investigation of thin kind, it is enough to throw discredit on the witneda's testimony. Such an answer as from two to a hundred. Witness—Well, didn't I make the bargain with you ? The witness's eross.exanaination was continued at great length, but nothing material was elicited save a repetition of his direct testimony. The next witness examined was the Rev. John Bourke, P.P. of eratlee. Its said : I took a deep interest in the election, I heard of a cavalcade of troops and voters ap proaching the village. I west to meet them. The voters that l saw were on a car. There were four. I knew one of the two on the side of theca, nest me at thee time. These voters were tenants of the Marquis of Conynghest, who hes property in this country. The military I saw accompanied the voters at each side of the an, and there were some mi litary in front. They proceeded across the open space from Flannery's house to the bridge, and came up towards the permanent police barrack. There wee a crowd of people. They made way fur tla cortege ash paused. I was aloes side the soldier,. When they came to the permanent police barrack they continued on by the road that leads to the chapel. From that they proceeded by the chapel to the lane. From Flannery'e to the entrance of the lane there was no obstruction that I saw offered to ,the progreu of the escort. Through the whole way I was walk ing by the cars outside the military. I did not observe that the people had either sticks at stones in their bands. The people as we went along came to Ilse doors of the houses. I cannot say if they followed in the rear. There was groaning. I have been at other elections, and this ebulli. tint of feeling did not excite any amazement. I looked upon it as a natural exhibition of feeling, and did not feel apprehension of riot. As I wee going to meet them I said to the people, " Pens, peace—let no man raise his hand." As the voters were escorted by military it was presumed they were to vote for the unpopular candidate. After say ing to the people "De not raise your hands," I said to them, If you wish to express your feelings, do so by groans or shouts—not for the voters or military, but for the lima who was the cause of lt—but let no blow be struck." I meant to convey that they were not in fault. I continued occasionally to repeat this expression until we came to about the chapel. After @Aqui( 't Groan the man that's the cause of it," I mentioned the man's name. His name is Marcus Keane, the agent. He was not present that day. Previous to that I had conversations and interviews with some of these voters. It was in conse quence of these conversations I spoke to the voters on that day. I addressed one of the voters when I first met them and subsequently another. I spoke to one of the soldiers. As a covered car Ira' passing me my attention wee called to it, and I went over to draw the curtain to see who was in side. A soldier tried to push me back with his musket, and I said to him—" Do not use this, there is no necessity for it ; you need not dread that a hair of your head will be touched, or that those voters will be iajured." This was near Fbutnery's corner. I spoke to a sense' soldier. I saw him put hie thumb on the lock of kis pia and cock it. I said to him—" Leave that down, there is no necessity for making see of it, you shan't be touched." He uncooked the gun. During this time the euaduet and attitude of the people were quiet and peaceful its far es I saw. Tie, groaned, certainly, and I did not blame them. I didn t see sticks or stooge used, and sew me threatimiag gestures. I continued to exhort the people to rue and order. I actually and positively need my bast UMW= to keep the people from violence and angry densointratiew. I we sider,d that my duty as a Christian . I entered the lane with the procession. I the house con nected with the potato-garden, and did not go further. A gentleman name up, and, heading me a steoe, said, "look. at thia." I took it in my hand, threw it inside the road, and said, " Don't mind it." I don't know who the gentleman was. I immediately lost eight of him. I saw a soldier at the some side of the road I was, fire a shot. The musket was pointed on towards O'Brien's corner. The escort was going quick at this time. I think they went at an uniform pace all through up to that. When I saw the shot fired I returned immediately. When 'commenced to Mani there were some soldiers in my rear. I said, " Fie, fie, mur der, murder." After passing the soldiers, I taw seven or eight women and three or four men between this pass sad the chapel, and I said to them, Go back, go bask, for they are sheetlag the people.

Saga—Baroas Lou Cum Junsca Jzavm Am • Ile•aA• Jo•T. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CONVENT SCHOOL SYSTEM. GRIPIITHS v. Di L'Eerniessi AND ANOTHER. Before the court finally adjourned on Friday night, the following additional evidence was given on behalf of the defendants: It should be Mated that all the French witseeses were examined through the medium of en interpreter ; but as he appeared incompetent to perform this duty in a satisfactory wanner, Mr. Munster, a gentleman of the bar, volunteered his services, and ha rendered great &wisteria to the court by the very efticient manner in which he interpreted the evidence. Med;ine Desiree de &collie, known in religion as Sister S. Theodosia, the second defendant in the action, deposed that she succeeded Miss Leith (she lot witness, whose name was incorrectly printed as Smith in the report of the pro ' eeedings on Saturday), in the management of the class to which the plaintiff belonged. She remembered the preens tation of the robe to Cardinal Wiseman, but she could not say whether the girl He n rietta Orillitlis worked any part slit or not. She did no t remem b er ever having told her to say that she had worked part of it. At the period the robe was presented, the plaintiff was not under punish ment of any kind ; and on the day ells cardinal came, sh e recollected perfectly well she was wearing a red ribbon aeries her shoulder, as a mark of reward. It was is Noreen ber of 1850 that the plaintiff was Brat sent to the trial clam. Her offence was in saying that she would never obey one of her mistresses. This was the only time she was punished in the trial class. She continued to misbehave herself, and was sent to work in the kitchen, and *became out on the 6th danury, 1851. The moment it was discovered that her eyes were *Meted, Dr. Chapman was called in, and every thing he directed was done for her. Witness would swear positively that the plaintiff was never locked up in a dark room with nothing to sit upon. She was merely placed in a d d room by the direction of the doctor on account of the state of her eyes, and it was quite impossible from the arrangements of the establishment that she could have been forgotten fora day and a night *sae had represented. She could state positively also that the plaintiff we. never punished by being ordered to perform prostration. It was not the custom for the children to perform prostration. She bad seen the nuns do it, but it was always done volun tarily. The statement of the plaintiff that when she left the convent witness told her if she said anything about what happened there she would go to hell and that she *mild not be saved, was also false, and she declared that she never said anything of the kind to her Croes-examund—Witness might have said something to the child about going to confession. She remembered that the plaintiff did ray to ber that when she went to confession the priest took down in writing what she said and she did netlike it. She heard that the plaintiff had told the other children not to go to confession because the priest wrote down what they said. Witness believed it was not true that the priest had done so. Did not remember that the plaintiff insisted upon not going to confession on this account. She we. quite sore the plaintiff was never forced to go to con fession. The children always went to entitled= of their own free will, and they had to ask witness's permission eight days before. Some of the children confessed every week, some every month, and others only went every two months. If a child should never go to confession, witness would not inflict a penance upon her for not going. While the plaintiff was in the different dark rooms, other children were allowed to see her, except at the period when she bad the chicken-pox. She was quite sure that roast meat and porter were supplied to the plaintiff by the doctor's direc tion, but there was a difficulty in getting her to drink the beer. They used small beer and porter in the establish ment. The plaintiff would not drink the small beer, and they gave her porter, and sometimes she left it and wow times she threw it away. Witness punished her by toting away a good mark from her for throwing away her porter. She said that she did not like it. Madame Folinst, one of the nuns, deposed that she managed the kitchen in November, 1850, and remembered the plaintiff being sent there in November, and her remain ing there for some time. She helped to prepare the things for dinner, but was certainly beyond her strength, or that was likely to injure her health in any manner. Cross-examined—Was quite sure that she never fainted away in the kitchen while witness superintended there. The plaintiff certainly was not a strong child, and she fre- Pquently complained of being She was in th e kitchen rom five in the morning till nine at night. She had her dinner by herself in the kitchen, and was not allowed to speak to any of the other children. Madame Anneal Denier, the cook, deposed that while the plaintiff was under her she did nothing but light work, such u washing plates and going into the garden to fetch vegetables, and cutting and preparing them. She said that all the hard work of the kitchen was done by her self. broaeszarnined—The plaintiff never complained of the work being too hard for her, but she frequently said that she was very tired, and when she did so witness used to tell her to sit down and rest herself. When the children were in the kitchen for punishment they were not slowed to go out from half-pest 4 o'clock in the morning till 9 at ralf t. glisabeth Berber, a very sharp, intelligent girl, appa rently about 18 years eM, mid she had been in the ceplaa ego deer et the eslealkiMment at Norwood. She Gra went to the beetitutien In July, 1860, and left in March, 1851.1 She went to it • mos= ilme in November, 1851, and went away for good is ffebseary, 1862, when she was appren ticed to a lace thellailialffer at the west end of the town. While she was in the astddiimsant she wss very kindly treated, and had sietking amplia of. They bad quite as mush to eat on all =rim se they wanted, and some times more. The girls were a.lewl4 to take plenty of ezereiso, and in wit= =as when they could not go out of doors them was a rem he them to play in. The plain tiff was treated jut die enne as witness herself and all the other girls were. lam =et heard of any of the girls being compellod to perform prmasedna, or of their being punished if they did not p M matesien. She was never treated with unkind.= in ray way while she was in the convent. Wilma bad been placed in the trial elan, and alto in the Wain, hat it never injured her. She used to go to oun- Mein tebea !be liked. _ _ _ Gremanandieed 7 -Wu sure she had not been to emblem that morning. She came to Guildford with the ladies and some of the other children. The priest come down with them abo, and she had seen him that moaning, but had not spoken to him. Witham used frequently to go to confer eion, but not so often as once a She never tried to make her Nape from the trial elms room by breaking a window and getting out. The wand on bar hand wan not eased in that manner. While oho wee at Samere-tewn she was wounded with a carving kWh by ea of her etion- Wland the mon Bear her hand was the consequence. .7. , meat to the trial edam some a mad time. It was for disobedience to one of her mammas, and she deserved to be seat there. (A laug h. She woo very disobedient in deed. (Renewed laughter. She wee very awry to say that she wee disobedient afterwards and was sent a third time to the tee ease. The usual pretties was for the a b et offence to keep them eight days in the trial clam, for the second fourteen, sad for the third of fence, twenty days. She was kept for twenty days to try to make her bet.er. She had misbehaved herself, and bad sensed great scandal to ler companions, by raising to kneel down in the middle of the school-room when she was ordered to do so. If she bad performed this penance well, she would have bees directly . She was ordered he kneel down bemuse she talked too mai heleeoollll- Ye Maine allowed three days he amides whether eke would obey the order to kneel down, and beams she punished in refusing, she was ordered to the trial ema rem It was a very amuses pumice to be ordered te kneel down in the middle of the room. She wee la the kitchen for fear weeks after this. She used to be allowed to go out to walk every day, but she could not my at what peso& of the day, or how bag at a time. The whams here exhibited a good deal of agitation, and Mr. Chambers inquired what had alarmed her. He then pointed to a person standing In front of the witness, and who woe stated to be one of the priests belonging to the convent, and Naked her if there was say one in court who she was alarmed at She replied there wee a person in court she was ashamed of. Mr Chambers—ls " he " standing behind me Witnem—lt is not a "he ;" it is a " she." (Much laughter.) Mr. Chamber busked who it was she was ashamed of, sad the witness replied that it wee the plaintiff, Henrietta Griffiths, whom she wee ashamed of. Cross-examination continued—Witham wee in the trial eau when they used to it being the wall. They mat upon a sort of lew stool, end she had mat facing the wall as long es sin or seven hours. _ _ Fredertea Mahoesy, another of the orphans, gees violist evidence m to the kind treatment she had received daring a residence of three years in the convent. Mary Jane Hart, another orphan, said that while she was In the convent she was treated with very great kindness and the ladles behaved to her more like mothers than say thing else. She had always more food than she could est, and she had plenty of nit and exercise. She also stated that she had taken the plaintiff meat twice a day while'' she was ill, and she had seen her throw a portion of it' away. Cron-examined—The plaintiff used to eat part of her dinner and throw thereat swap. She had also seen her when she was In the potter's room give a portion of her dinner to the poor who nod to come to the convent far the broken victuals. She had also seen her throw away the beer that was given to her. Mary Anne Barton, another of the orphans, also said that she had been treated with every kindness aloe abs had been in the institution. Crewe summed—Witness was now wearing a red ribbon round her shoulders which was a mark of honour. Five or AM of the sine ►.longing to the orphan elms were down at OuiWord. Three priests aceompanied them, the toe be longing to the convent, and • third who did not. as 44 teen the priests that morning before the court sat. The other girls had seen them to. They bad been together all the morning. The witness nether had spoken to the priest that morning. This concluded the evidence for the defendant. Mr. Chambers, at 10 o'clock this morning, proceeded to reply. He mid that, front the nature of the case, the jury would doubtless anticipate that it would be his duty to occupy their attention for some time, but he should endea vour to confine himself as closely as possible to the question at issue, and should not detain them any longer than was absolutely necessary. In the first place, he would remind them that the charges against the defendants were gene rally that they omitted to give the plaintiff proper food and nourishment ; that they did not allow her to have sufficient rest or exercise ; that they confined her improperly in a dark room; and that they had imposed tasks and punish ments up-n her beyond her strength to endure, and which were injurious to her health, and had ultimately occasioned her the dreadful calamity of the loss of her sight ; and if the jury should be of opinion that upon any one of these points the defendants had neglected the duty they had undertaken to perform, the plaintiff would he entitled to • verdict. The most fearful and startling part of the case appeared to hint to be this. According to the statement of the defendants themselves it was admitted that for four or five months the plaintiff was in a state of danger ous illness, all the medical men agreed in opinion that she was in a dreadfully emaciated condition, and Dr. Alexander said that, when he saw her, she presented the !appearance of a person who had been starved, and it was certainly a very striking circumstance, tending to show that she must have been grossly neglected while she was in the establish:liens; that it had been proved that, when she left the convent and was treated in a proper manner, she was restored very shortly to a state of comparative good health, her remaining eye recovered, and ate was totally cured. This fact naturally raised the inquiry whether the evidence that had been brought forward the the defendants could possibly be true. It was said that the narra'ive of the plaintiff was a tissue of falsehoods, but he could not het, observing, that it appeared to him the fact he had mentioned went a great way to confirm the truth of her story. His learned friend who appeared on behalf of the defendants appeared to lay meat stress upon the absence of any motive on the part of these ladies to act in the manner stated, but he did not think it was any part of their duty to enter into any question of motive in the present case. In their own religion, and connected with it, there were a great variety of ch arities of every description, from the mere charity school to those of • much higher character, and it was not at 011 an unusual or extraordinary matter to hear of the principals or persons connected with them being guilty of tome act of misconduct towards their scholar, and the persons under their charge; and taerefore it was nut at all impossible that the same thing should occur with persons professing the Roman catholic religion, and all they hadto do was to ascertain whether the fact was proved, and they had nothing to do with any motives, good or bad, that might have migrated it. The first thing they had to consider was whether the story told by the child was • probable one. What was her story? She said that she was placed in the first instance in this establishment, and a year s board paid for her, by Cardinal Wiseman, and he here felt it his duty to make this observation on the conduct of the cardinal— that there was no man in this country, however high his station might be, but what was bound to obey the law, and to submit to that law which protected him, and that the highest person in the realm, instead of endeavouring to evade having a subpoena to attend a court of justice served tapes him, ought to be the first person to ebey it. The Mittinal, however, was absent. They had tried to sub poena him, not for the purpose of annoying or harassing him, but in order that justice might be done to this poor child, and that he might by hie testimony confirm her evi dence with regard to one of the issues on the present occa sion. If he had been there he might have contradicted the evidence of the child on one important point, or he might have confirmed the evidence given by the ladies who bad been examined on that point; and, under these circum stances, he could not conceive how it hail happened that the cardinal had set the evil example of evading the service of • subpeens. It was conceded that the child had been placed in the establishment by Cardinal Wiseman, and he must, therefore, have known all about her ; and he thought it would have been very desirable that he should have attended and have informed the jury how it happened that this child, who was now said to be unworthy of credit, came to be introduced into such an establishment, for either she was an unfit person to be there, or else the statement respecting her had no foundation. Ile could not deny that this poor child was the unhappy subject of a scrofulous affection, but at all events she was in • good state of health when she went first to the establishment, although she ap peared feeble and weak, and this was admitted by the defendants. This was a very important point as regarded some of the issues, for if the defendants knew that she was feeble and weak it was clearly their duty to have taken more care of her and not to have done anything that was calculated to increase her malady. Was it then • proper thing under such circumstances to compel a child to get up at half past four in the morning, and remain un until nine at night? Look at the number of hours for a weak and ailing child to be kept from rest. The question of necessary rest was therefore • very important one for the consideration of the jury. Then with regard to the food, which was another • important consideration. lie admitted he had been misin structed with regard to meat being allowed once • week, it being proved that they had it oftener ; but the jury must look at the whole question, and what description of food these children had given to them. For breakfast they had soup made of rice and grease, and although one of the witnesses, Miss Leith, appeared in dignant at this description being given of it, and stated that it was made of dripping, he could not help thinking that it came to the same thing, and he asked the jury whether such • greasy mess was a proper thing for the breakfast of • delicate child ? It appeared to him that it was only calculated to produce the result that followed, namely, sickness and an unwillingors to take proper food after it. He would mane himself to what occurred after the defendant Madame de l'Espinasse came to the a rtablish went in this respect, and be should contend that the diet was most improper. The children might have had a small quantity of meat for their dinner, but all their meals ap peered to have one principal ingredient—"confitures ' " or sweetmeats ; and between the dinner at twelve o'clock, and the supper of vegetables and tea at half-past seven, the poor children had nothing but the "goatee, ' which was a piece of dry bread with a little 'a m of some kind scraped— nodoubt very lightly—over it. The tale told by the wirnesees for the defendants with regard to the liberal diet at the establishment, was evidently an exaggeration, and reminded him of Dickens's story in . Do-the-boys Hall," where the boys certainly had more than they could eat, for they were fed as the pigs were, and the pigs certainly got the fattest. (A laugh.) A great parade bad been made about the three handfed and fifty pounds weight of meat that was consumed in the establishment, but they ought not to forget the number of persons there were to consume it; and he said notwithstanding that this poor child had not been properly fed, and he asked them to say the same. It was probable that the food had been to some extent changed after the doctor was called in, and as to her throwing away the victuals and the beer he urged that it was ridiculous to suppose that she should have done so, and if she did throw the beer away it sp paused to him that it confirmed her story that it was only water coloured with beer, and was consequently so nasty that she could not drink it. If this poor child aid really throw the meat away because the condition of her stomach would not allow her to eat it, ought this not to have ex cited commiseration in the breasts of those about her and ought they not to have seen at ones that something more ought to be done. Instead of that, however, they culled her a naughty child, and actually punished her. The next allegatiern was that the plaintiff had been overworked and impelled to do work beyond her strength, and he siab- MIMI that this was sufficiently proved by the fact that die bad been kept in the kitchen from half-past four in the Vtill nine at night. The next charge was that the was ,improperly punished and comp elled to do iegtsurimse ker health, and the princi evidence to mined Mimes what vas proved to have been the coons elpiesembip la the trial dam room. It appeared to him 110 this was a mat severe punishment. For the ant Onto the poor children were subjected to be confined With* trial elms for seven days; for the second fourteen, and for the third twenty days, and the jury would not forget that if any poor child turned her head from the white wall in front of which she was placed, if it was only one day be fore the expiration of her sentence, it all began over again. Me god& not help thinking that this was a most cruel =:tt They all knew hew the eyes were affected by any white object even for a short period ; but here were these poor W children, with the exception of the for their meals, placed opposite a whitewashed wall baldpast 4 in the morning until 9 at night, mad if deir ably turned their heads—the object of to keep their eyes upon the pan meat recommenced. It was true that as attempt had been made to prove that sine* dm mom defendant had been superior of the convent the was had been changed, and that the children did not Met eft with their faces to the wall ; bat he asked the jury Seileabt whether this was the fact : and, if they should do esb le contended that it was a most improper and injurious disaription of punishment. Another of the punishments which he relied upon to support the plaintiff's ease was that of prostration. It had been denied, certainly, that any such punishment was ever inflicted; but in what manner was the contradiction given ? At first it was said that there was no such punishment known in the convent; and when the lady superior was questioned upon the subject, she pro fessed entire ignorance it. When she was pressed, how ever, she said that she did not know anything of prostra tion "in that sense "—meaning as a punishment. It appeared to him that this braked very much like saying one thing and mmning another, and he felt compelled to make this remark, and he asked the jury from their own observation to confirm him as to the truth of it, that the ladies who had been examined, although evidently most acute and intellistent persons, had not given their evidence with that candour and openness which or t : be to exercised, and that the mode in which they did ve it led him to fear they had been studying a book, of w everybody had probably heard, which professed to make parlous skilled in the art of saying black was white, and white was black, la such a manner as to avoid stating a direct faloshood, and evading the truth by giving an answer with a mental reservation, and in another sense to that which was sonveyod by the answer He admitted that the mysteries slivery roliglea were, and ought to be, sa cre d metalass eat mike net to be inquired into, and be lb ilagairiss upon an intimation n di r l asmet mesa inlet ; but he submitted that gales emsugli op= to show that such • punishment se* MOM= VII to these who professed this form of eibiglee s and altheish it ma denied that the plainti ff had ewer bona meadow' to pedant it, it appeared to It • eerprfddes . led best dime Its yes very much like k er • `.* 0 •S I IV .
