' Mr. CARRY, of York, then addressed the meeting upon the genteel attain of the company, cooteading that great Mama attached, not only to the directory, but also to the odenla, especially to the engineers, who had in dated the company to make thin which bad cost far beyond their estimates, and they had laid down sleepers M an interior quality, doe involving the cimpany in the purchasing lan Alias of two sets of steepen, where one set ought to have audited. He next referred to the rolliag stock sad the ezpi waren to he expected upon it. He thought that the estimates which had been made were capable of con * siderable reduction. As to the light regimes belonging to the mammy, which Mr. Cabry bad rommatended them to sell, be thought if any mammy mull as. light engines to advistage it was this compsay, with its malty long sad unprofitable branches. He ant mantmeneed upon the differences between Mr. Csbry sad Mr. Bieletudiiw, the company's engineers, as to the coat of renewing maietenarce at way, contending that these esti mates were so greatly at vaginae that it behoved the shut holders to give great coasideration to this department, which had been so much neglected. H. had every manse in the &ream, but he felt if this company was to have a dividend it must be preceded by financial reform. The sa laries of the officers required c.onsiderablo revision by the directors. Mr. RAMSEY staggered that hereafter they should con tract kw the Inc tocsin power, from the extravagasee abed.

Mr. STOCKS sail the question of direction was the next . The committee recommended that the member of = tan and the reanaention stand 'err till February; with that eneeptica he moved the adoption of that poetise of their report. They suagested the future qualifismisa of a director should be 2,0001. sttek, and not Lora, es at pretest. With reference to another persgraph is the ro pers they resonuneaded that so gentleman should mew the chair oe viee-chair who an directors in my other ems psay.

The fact of gentle men acting on Jiff rest boards of direction had bees tried, and found to work disadvaatageously. He scesdadod by movies the adoption of this part of the report.

Yesterday a special retersi meeting of the eharo holders in Gus company was bald at the George Hotel, Wal sall, for the purpose of considering a proposal for the /sass of the line, and, if deemed upedient, to anthers ea applies. Van to parliament is the erring ermine for the nocessary powers to grant such lease, and for other purposes—the hoe- swiss of mosey ou mortgage or bond, &C. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. S. Foseraz) harleg briefly slimed the herr of the series, the Secretary read the minus of the terms of the soloed leer of the Une, of which the &Mewing is** abreact " The tam is for 21 years from the Mth of Much, 1860 ; the Sul *sisal to be tak-s at 669,3761, being 81. 10e per akar ; and the rent to be rid is respect of such capital to be 13,3871. 10s. for the fiat year, and 28,7781 per an num afterwards, being at the rate of 2 per cent. on the flied capital for the fleet year, and 4 per cent. afterwards. Any leather espital required to be rimed by way of lose, the leases paying the interest of sue:, loans not exceeding 44 per coot, provided that it my sub farther capital curt be obtained at a rate of Starr not exceeding 44 per eau., the com ps, may Ball up the additionel amour required, tor whisk the leers shell pay 44 per seat. The lases is to include all property el the cosepany's in the hands of the crew y, in the nature it superfluous lands, or not required for the purposes of the unaking, bet not so as to preplan. the company's power to deal with such lands, ha , as required by the Railway Clare Consolidation Ain, and the company shell sell all or any of such lands wh required by the laser. The spuny are to construct such additional sidings and stations, end purchase such additional stock, and also such mines under and near the railway and works as the lesser, shall nareably requ!rit, subject (as re prds the edditimal capital to be required for the purpose) to the provisions contained is the third article. The lessees to deposit 10,0001. as a guarantee for their felfilment of the cootrati, but their liability not to extend beyond that sum. The rent to be named to 44 per cent. after the first eleven years, or the Less to be terminable in the option of the company." The CHAIRMAN immediately re and said that, in kis Individual capacity as a shareholder, be moved that the pre ' per be seeepted. He believed that the offer made wee • fair sad reeeesable or, end that it had been made he, ties who were fully prepared to wry it oat. He licked epos it as a fair return for the roar of capital nerd: and he full believed that, during the next twenty years, few speculatirs of this hied would realise more than 4 per eent. ft was decidedly of opinion that the rate of Starr would, in Mare, be genually lower in this country at the present time the government securities did not pay mar the. S per oast., and he thought it not un likely that they would see it rafted to 24. On all °mei devotions threshes, he Irked epos this o ff er ot 4 per cent. as an adequate reemmentra for the capital embarked in the undertaking t therefore, he pleasurably submitted it for the mileptiou of the seers. Mr. Forster concluded by moving a herb reelatrie the effect that the offer to lease Would be mosered. Mr. B. BULLER (late member for North Btet -I.rdshite) sounded the ghettos of this resolution. The question for the shafehaders to raider was, whether they were prepared to accept 4 per cent as • lair return for the capital they had embarked In the undertaking ; or whether it was deemed preferable to take the Sur of the value of the COMMIS during the next twenty years. He =reseed that be at one time entertained dubs on the subject ; bat after fall ousideratiou he had decided on accepting the lease. It wee quite clear that the extras , pat snteipations which had been iadelvd Is on the subject of railway dividends were not likely to be realised, therefore he *Gegen it was better for them to sort the cartaiaty which this lease held out. It was tract, the line was par tly opened, and that consequently they bad no means of est sung the vales of the trails; bat in this as, a certainty presented Self which seemed to his worthy of aeceptaties.l They had a fair offer of 4 per est, with 44 in per•peetive. Would they seers this, or take the chance of profit resulting hoot workir the line terseives ? This was the only quart for ins considered*, of the meeting. Mr. JOHNSON, of Lichfield, inquired who were the parties making the offer, and what were the receipts on the railway harlot the lest month ? The CHAIRMAN replied that Mr. M'Clean had made the offer ea the put of some substantial individuals ; and with referees* to the 10,0001, he had a letter in his pocket' from highly respectable hankers guannteeing that it should to ready when it was required. The amount of trifle feel the last width was &boot 1,0401. Mr. JOHNSON proceeded to my that he was decidedly opera cc the lease, inasmuch as be believed that the line was of far greater vales than had been put epos it. By the 'err of the lease they were to receive the trumpery arid 10,0001 by way of forfeiture, whereas it gave to the ' lemma the chance of realising 200,0001. If it was to he s waft transaction, let the shareholder participate is the per meth. For his part he thought It uogeousue si re peet duke directors to have submitted such a paprika M Ma ebrekolden, at d he shoed give to it kismet elleimmese He went on to complain that the teals ken epee He been unfairly diverted by the London sod Mork Warm Company; he Snored that they were ober to se their infirm to awry this lease, sad further erested as opinion that, is the kinds of the afteekolder, the line would he worth • ggnroast deal more then 4 per amt. Mr. PAYNE, of Birstyham, spoke in fewer of the Isar, belisving, r he did (he said), that the time Waft not altogether disa dvantageous. He Begird seekihillems in the tome of the lease, for hares, the ribs ad the goo. rare to 44 per cent. Mr. HORNSIf and Mr. BOOTH, as mpreseutiog the Loren and North Western Company, declared that individually they would vote for accepting the is all =t the 16,000 shares held by their company would net be employed in the vete. Mr. BEALL, derity.eheitro lithe Midland Company, mode • similar stator nt on the part of his company. Mr. ROBERT SCOTT (late M.P. for Walsall) delivered • lengthesed speech, sermgly ordering the lease.

MARLING AT LIVIiUPOOL. Yesterday a public meeting of railway proprietors was heed at the Clarenilou Rooms in Leverpool, ter the pur pose of oonsideriag the beet made of auditing railway accoaata. There was a numerous attendance. Mr. A It. WYLIS was pled to the chair. They were aware, be said, that last miaow Ltd Montane" had Woe dined a bill late the Rowse a Lords, which passed that house, but did set go through the Huns* of Commons. 11 , was withdrawn, Indeed, became the railway directors pledged themselves te introdnee in the fineentans a bill which woad be aufileient for all purpose. The dr legated meeting of directors ice this purpose was held oa the Stn inst , Lied Lossiae in the chair. They agreed to eight 'moieties', but amongst these were some more fatal and restrictive than any hitherto propose ~ He was en tirely opposed to the resolatioss numbered 6 and 8, which are as follows : ":6. Accounts passed by the meeting shall be final, "abject to the eighthseggestios.-8, It shall be competent for any ameba of the proprietors holding stock or sham to the valet, paid up, of not lees thea ale-third of the total pad up capital a the company, to app int, within one men* after say general meeting, two of their number for the per pose of mate; a epeeist examination of the accounts of the current hall year ; and such auditors so specially appointed, together with the public seeounteot selected by them shall have the same power of exiiniaation in every respect as is by this sad other ace granted to auditors appoint , d is the ordinary mires by a major.ty at a general meeting.", If No. 6 bad beet in easterner, we should have h.d no snob disolesures as had taken place, all mount. would hays, bees wandered final, sad they would have had no ri ht to re-opea them.

Ii (the chairman) was opposed to the inter ference of government ; and would rather that the pewee was placed Ia the hands of shareholders of securing a salaams and satisfactory audit. It this power, when so erieforred, should not work well, then he would go for government audit. He coecluded my moving— . That in the opinion of this meeting the resautisee urged to at the delegate* meeting of dinettes es the WS et November are aet ea culated to procure a endishat end satisfactory audit of railway accounts." • Mr. Dr MATHER mended the motion. Mr. FALKNER also expressed disappteval of the Bth resolution. He was strongly (opposed to the powers of audit being put into the heads of govereimeat That he thought would be a violation of the British consitutien. It such supervision were to eoesreesee with railways, what would prevent its being extended te joint-cock banks, insurer:6 companies, everythieg ? He prop wad that tarts should be en amountaat-gentral for railway audits. He would have two auditors, to be appointed at their half-yeerly meetings by the shareholders, their audit to be continuous, and the amounts to be dosed windily and referred to the socountaar general. Mr. H. C. BBLOE thought the best system would be to appoint a guardian sea r f sharehulders, to recommend to the proprietors at the"' yearly meetings what auditors should be app anted for the Wiling year. The CHAIRMAN said he would net give a fig for the responsibility of an auditor appointed at a half-yearly meet lag. The &futon could undoubtedly influence 011 e elected in such a way as that. The reaolutioll was put sad tarried unanimously amid ap plause. The CHAIRMAN next read a number of suggestion% which met with general approval. It was propound thet ,t without the meeting pledge itself to details, a_cony should be sent to the committee of directors sitting in Loadoebat after some little discussion the motion was withdrawn. They were as follows : SUOOLSTIORS FOR TRI AUDIT OF RAILWAY ACCOUNTS.

AMERICAN LAND SALES.rIMPORTANT TO INTBNDINQ EMIGRANTS. A scene of groat excitation was witnessed on Tues day evening last, in the Mecisnics' feminine', Manchester. An Ameicao company had, few a eriesid.retne part •f the year, been advertising in the newspapers of Liverpool, Mae- Master, and Leeds, the sale of seven millions of ens of land in Virginia and Tennessee, at the low pries of 4s, an acre ; and the agents In these towns had sent out flambee &scrip. tines of the soil sad climate, and the great advantages that emigrants would enjoy who should settle upon it, and had succieeded in persuading a number of working mon to purchase allotments, and to pay ten per cent, of the money to thus agents. A wean, to "beware of land jobbers," published in the Atomiser cad Timm by Mr. Prentice, had had some effort' in arresting the 'annum of these blind harping ; but see we.the dente to emigrate, and such the wish to be at ones located in same one of the described estates, that there la reason to believe the sales went on to • coesiderable extent to many who bad not seen or heard of the friendly warning. At the end of last week a placard appeared, announcing that Mr. Joseph Beaker, of Wortley, near Leeds, who had just retained from the United States, where be had visited one of the estates advertised, situated in Virginia, would give a lecture on emigration, and suggest modes for avoiding imposition sometimes attempted, and ' that be had invited the agent for that estate to be present to bear the exposition. Oa Tuesday night the Mechanics' In rheum well crammed to eau r. Mr. Banker seeing Prentiss st the audience, requested that he would take the chair, ass bevies been in America I ere% he weld be able to cont radict anything said that was fen, or tears what was true. This appeal having been seconded by the sedum of the audience and their vow, Mr. PRENTICE took the chair, and said that he wee glad to see amongst them one who had travelled muck in the States Fir the express purpose of discovering the beet field lee emigrants of humble means, and he expressed his opinion from what he had seen of Mr. Banker's patented letters, that he would give a fair and cornet opinion of the e entry he bad vidted, and that his observations would prove to be peculiarly valuable at the present time, when attempts were being made to lades, people to buy lied in districts where there was little prospect of any emigrant making a favour, ble settlemsat. Mr. BANKER began his lecture by saying he was glad to ,have In the chair a gentleman who enjoyed the respect of his fellow•townesses end who had proved, by his " Tear is the Meted 'States," that he bad been en attentive observer himself, and was thus well qualified to judge of the correctness or the insecurity of sisals:nes made by others. He was not there to advocate emigration. but to give advice to emigrants, and to say who were fit to go, end wbo were not Dr nken men need not go. They Will held in utter contempt in America, and would and no em plos meat Idle men need not go, for the idle men were also held in contempt. The hard-working man, who was ace to be easily discouraged. and who could wait for and search for work, and would be content to meept smell wages until he got his hand in, was the only mu to go. He wee au to speak with much feeling on the seminar made by men who left their native heel and eU its endearing ties to work their way amongst managers, but ex:-reeved his belief th.t industrious and sober men weed, from the higher pries of labour and the lower poise of all the necessaries of Pie, soon place themselves lnc meth more independent position than they could ever hes es attain in their native country or in any of her colonies. He then adverted to an estate in Virginia, advertised by Mr. Moose, of New Volk, for which Mr. Saunders, of Mea -1 enister, was eget, and said that, after having visited end asp. eted it carefully, he bad no hesitation in de claring it to be totally with for emigrant attic meats, and in character totally different to the seem ses@ given ait by those who offered it sale. Tea; instead of being wort h four shillings an acre, he did not believe it to be worth twopence ; indeed, that he would n 4 accept it as • present. Aim, ample details in corrobora tion of his statement, he called en Mr. Saunders to contra dict his allegation if he could. Mr. SAUNDERS thee stood forward, and emmenced cres-examining Mr. Backer upon matters not at all con nected with the land, till the meeting growing bawl , nt de weeded that he should keep to the point' but as he Mill went on with his irrelevant questions, the shouts of "keep to the point " rose to a wild outcry, and be exclaimed, " Are you Englishenea ? Am Ito have fair play ?" The CHAIRMAN, having stilled the tumult, said that Mr. Saunders would have fair play. He bad a right to be heard, and en Baglish audience would best - him it be kept to the point. Mr. Saunders bad published a letter in the newspapers, in reply to one of Mr. liankeen, saying that be had documents to prove that Sir Cerise Lyell, Mr. Buckingham ' and other high autenittes had testand to the e a se of the land. It would shorten he proceedings greatly it he would at once quote whet Sir Chan' Lyell says about the land. (Applause.) Mr. SAUNDERS—I won't I'll put what questions I like to Mr. Banker. [Here the tumult was renewed, add the cries of " Sir Ceuta Lyell, Sir Charles Lyell," wrill deafening. Amidst the din. Mr. Saunders said, " I have a witness here from West Virginia ;" and a decent lookieg elderly man came forward.) The CHAIRMAN—Here is a witness, gentlemen, from Virginia ; shall I, on your behalf, ask him a few questions ? Mr.SAUNDERS —No, you shall not ; I'll question him myself. line the tumult wit renewed, the old man retreated from the storm, and Mr. Saunders said he should not allow him to be ezamieed. Loud cries arise, " Let him keep to the point or have dose," "He is only mocking lee," ' Let him quote his autberdi.s," " Tars him oat," " Lyell, Lyell." The CHAIRMAN again succeeded in stilling the tumult, I and said he should be sorry if Mr. Saunders had any op portunity of saying that he had nut been heard. He had already occupied their time a quarter of an hour in questions which had nothing to do with the subject, and had produced none of his promised authority. He would suggest that ten minutes more should be given to hint without interreyties, and if during that time he did not come to the point, he would hen put it to the meeting whether their time should be further wasted. Mr. SAUNDERS said he would come to the point, but the grocer part of the ten stioutes was taken up by cm. meats on a letter of lir. Banker's, which did not relate to the land at all. At length he came to it ; and to prove that what Mr. Banker cell unceltivatable bills were only gentle elevations, he read from an engineer's report VI to the levels of a railway projected to run through Virginia: " Here," said he, " Mr. Chairmen, is the map of the °len til., end the line o f the railway." The CHAIRMAN—Why, this railway does not ran within Airy miles of the land in question ! Mr BAUNDERI3--I know it does not, but— Here the ;ovations:sof the meeting became uncostrollable, and Mr. Saun der s retreated from the theatre, followed by loud cries, amid which many opprobrious epithets were mingled, and three most dissonant roan& of arenas. Aher emir had been metered, Mr. COOPER said that Mr. Banker had dons the public gnat service by the present exposure, and moved a resolution to that effect, to be adver tised in the Manchester papers, that the public might be made aware of the pc:medley taken. The motion having been a, minded, The CHAIRMAN said that a fair opportunity had bean gives to Mr. Saunders to produce his promised authorities in onsfradictlou to Mr. Banker's statement, bat, instead of doing so, he had wasted the time of the meeting by questions and observations that had not the slightest reference to the question. For himself, he had full faith in those tratessente, and he thanked Mr, Banker far having made them, end for a lecture which had contained a great deal of very ezeellent advice to intending emigrants • The motion was then put and carried unanimouely, • Me a mite of thanks to the chairman, PARLIAMENTARY AND FINANCIAL REFORM.

Oa salvias at the railway station the deputation were met by a numerous and iniamtial body of the middle chews, who escorted them to the Barnes,'. Head Inn. where a public tinker was provided.

A vote of thanks was then tendered to the chairman, which closed the prosodies*. IRELAND. Duman, At the sitting of the Incumbered Estates Commis sioners yesterday a point of some importance to the creditors was arranged, namely, that when an abso lute order for sale was made, the court would give the carriage of the proceedings to whichever creditor it would appear most advantageous to the estate should have it. Hitherto the chief opposition to pro ceedings in that court arose not from the inheritor attempting to defend himself, but from a struggle of the incumbrancers amongthenuelyes for the privilege I have mentioned, which is somewhat similar to that of an assigneeship in bankruptcy. No sale whatever has yet been attempted under the commission; although one of your contemporaries fell I nto the error, the other day, of supposing that the Bleesington estates were so disposed of. Neither does the age of that property afford any argument of an improved state of things in this country; for it so happened that the estates in land were all reserved, no adequate offer having been made, and the sale being confined almost exclusively to house property. A rumour has been current hero toe some days,of an intention on the part of government to propose • small fixed duty on corn next session; but u it is propagated by the protectionists, it is but little heeded. The Moil asserts that the rumour in London on Monday was that the subject of a fixed duty would be proposed in the cabinet council to be h. Id on that day. The same organ thr. plena that Ireland sill return at least eighty protectionists at the next general election. Ae to a fixed duty of some four or five shillings—if indeed that be a subject for discus sion at all—no one who understands the condition of Ireland supposes that it could set things right with the agricultural interests here. It would, if carried amount to a triumph over free-traders of England, which might suffice for • party purpose; but to I remedy the work of the famine, of the enormous poor rates, of the rack-rent system, of the general crush of bankruptcy, which bad been brewing for generations for the landed proprietors, to say nothing of the re sults of other political and social miasse—that boon to protectionism would be as a drop of water in a conflagration.

William Chaleley was celled and examined by Mr. Bram well—He said I am • clerk to Messrs. Bhuttleworth and Sew, auetioaeere, in the Poultry. I hired once at Tottenham.

I bad coanezion with her in the church. (Great sensation.) I have lacked her in the vestry room. I have done so more than ones. I did it because the minister came into the church. 1 her up alone. I remember Mrs. Diamond. She has threatened to turn the plaintiff's daughters out of the church—both her sad other children. 1 know Jesse Kemp. He was once the subject of conversation between me and the pleintiff's daughter. I had a quarrel with her about Hemp. I accused her of hiving connexion with him. Atter some hesitation she said I was right lam eighteen next morel. 1 know what you mean by It ivies connexion with her. I had connexion with her othearnallr. thus-examined by Serjeant Byles—l have known the de fendant Mayne seven years or upwards. Its was living in lialeiplaoe, in Tottenham, when I first knew him. 1 was then hying in Semen South, Tottenham. I have been in timate with the defendant. I was in the grammar school at Tottenham when I first became acquainted with him. I wan in the school aim y ars. I cannot remember whether he was a school fellow or not. On my oath I can not say whether he was or not. I remember his brother was at the school. About 130 boys were at the school. When I first knew the defendent he lived with his father, who is a carpenter. Ido not see the defendatit emir, , but he was here just now. He was hers yesterday. Vile n I left the court yesterday we went to the 11. me shw and Magpie, and had eenterhing to eat. I and the other wit. amen Mayne was there too. The solicitor, Mr. Kent, was there also, as were Mrs. Dismend, and Davy, the poetboy. Davy is a boy employed in the poet-aloe. We went to the lionieshoe and Melons about half-put five ; and I don't think we stayed halt en hour. I went home to the Eas-mad, City•road. Meyns went there with me. I don't recollect calling anywhere elm. To the best of my knowledge I went nowhere else. I think we had a cup of coffee in a ooffas-honse in eboreditch ; but I hardly know whether that was that sight or the night before. I did, on noolleeeion, go to the coffelehouse in Shoreditch last night. I did swear just now that I did not recollect whether it was last night or the night before. Upon my solemn oath neither Mayne nor myself went anywhere else baton we went to Eset-roed. We got to Eine. ad somewhere about eight. I will not swear it was before nine. 1 will swear it wee before tan. Shoreditch is in the way from Westminster to Esse road. 1 same here by Shoredi'ck Church this morning, I did not stop more that tea minutes at the East-road. I went dere to get a clean skirt and collar. I did not go to bed with ere clean shirt. (Laughter.) I went to Mayne's lodging, hi the Haskney-road, to sleep. I put on tee clean shirt this morning for the jury. (Laughter.) That is three this week. (Renewed laughter.) 1 came to court with Mayne this morning. I never bad any conversation with Mayne about the evidence I was to give. I said I would not repeat it until I got into court. One of the witnerms asked me about my evidence, but I don't know hit name, or whether 1 was asked by him at the lione•thee end Maguie Of SOON other public-bone. I can't exactly say whether the witness who asked me was a man err woman. 1 break• tasted with the defendant at his house this morning. I dept at Mayne's the night before. The day before last I dined with Mayne at a publisehouse m Westminster. The night before that I slept at home. I was here, when this cause was in the paper last Jane, seven days. On those seven nights I slept either at Tottenham or In the East road. Thos tome with the plaintiff's daughter took place in the latter end of 1847. lam speaking of the lest occasion. I see Mr. Twining, the clergyman of the parish in court. I think the last time I had connexion with her in the church was so late as October, 1847. I ceased to to o kp in the latter end of 1847, tad the connexioa place before I ceased to be pew-opener. It happened on a week day, in the middle aisle of the church. There are some free rests is the middle aisle, with a pathway on each side. We were lying down in the middle aisle. I cannot swear wheths r it was in the middle aisle or not. It was in one of the pews, but whether it was in the middle aisle or not I cannot my. It was not on the seat of the pew, but upon the ground. It is impossible for me to tell how many times I have had con nexion with her is the church. I should not like to swear how many times; I should say about twenty. I first had impassion with her about the middle of 1845. When I had first connexion with her it was close by the communion table —(sensation) just before the rails of the altar on the lett side, It was in the middle of the day, between 12 and 4. She was abut 13 years of e then. Mrs. Diamond never saw anything of this kind age and I don't suppose she ever thought of it. It was not in her power to turn me and the girl out of church for indecent conduct. She never did. I have never been a witness in a court of justice before. I am now an auctioneer's clerk. I was 17 in last March, se that I would be a little more than 13 when this took pl cr. I was at school. Mayne is not doing anything now. lie has left Tottenham theough this bunnies. The last time I was here Mayne paid me 2L, and paid for my mesh besides. I have only had this time 6s. with my sublimes. He has never promised me he got the verdict he would yme mom. He has not told me that he has offered the gi rl's father 201, He has never said anything about that or any ether /UM. I know a man named Romney. I have not heard from the deteadant that he sent Romney to offer the plaintiff 204. I will swear he has a said anything about the offer on any one omagion. I said I had had connexion wi h the girl down to September or October,lB4B. I never told Mayne that.

By the Judge—lt was part of my duty to go to clean the church, and it was on these occasions that I bad oonnezion with her. When I had coneesion with her, her sisters were in the church, and the little Oununds. There are four of the Garman& They were there on some of the occasions. Thew transactions with ma and her occurred in different parts of the church. Mrs. Diamond was alto very often in the church at the time. She wee generally cccumed iu the fiellaTs By • Jaryman—Mre. Dismond could not see from the gallery to the pew where the amine:ion took place. Elizabeth Diamond called end examined by Mr. Bram well. She said I live at Tottenham, and was employed in the church then down to the latter end of 1.47. I know the_ young me who has jest Int the box. I know Frances Elizabeth Colyer. I have frequently seen her in the church when young Chalkley has been there. I sew no improper conduct between them. I have frequently told her to go out of the church, as I did not wish the church to be dirtied, but I had no idea of what was being transacted then I . have wen her there with other ehildrenplaying, and I have turned them oat. I remember a Mr. Stringer, who died suddenly in August of last year. I assisted to lay him out; and I ctutized there far Dome weeks, six or seven. I remember • young man, named Benjamin Pericles; he was there keeping the shop open for the to to until the shop was let. I saw the young mamas several times in the shop ; and I have told her it was not peeper for her to be there ISO many times among the young asps; she could not he buying always. This Perkins was about seventeen or eigeteen. I sew the young woman then once or twice. I never saw her ie any other part_ of the house than the shop.

I think them are pews in the gallery, from whis k the altar is enviable. When theme ergyman is at the altar he can be ens from every pew the gallery. I never nosed bar oat on mount of any Indecent conduct in the ithurrek. I Imes known the girl for eight yean. I never saw anything indecent or improper in her coedun at Perkins' asp.
