The other letter was in a similar strain. Mr. Turner then proved that 15 bills of exchange, which had been given to various bankers, for money ad vanced on letters ofcredit,were in the han d-writing of Pipe. The evidence taken upon the different commissions was then read ; they were chiefly the depositions of the va rious bankers, who had advanced money upon letters of credit, all purporting to be signed by Messrs. Glyn and Co., they were twelve or fourteen in number, from va rious towns on the Continent, and were for sums' ofloo/. to 800/. The letters of credit were made in favour of Frederick Coulson, Thomas Ireland, or Madame Vic torine Vandeck. No 15,271 LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1841.

Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Platt, and Mr. Petersdorf, were for `the plaintiff • Sir Willi am F o ll ett ( w h o was sp e ci a lly retained), Dir. Platt, and Mr. Peacock, were for the defendant. Mr. Petersdorf stated that the action was brought by Mr. Allen George Bugle against Mr. John Joseph Law son, for a libel published in the Times newspaper. The defendant had pleaded, first, not guilty, and, secondly, a justification. Mr. TISESIGER said, he would, at all events, tend( r evidence to that effect, and his Lordship would no doubt take a note to the objection. M. Delange, an advocate of Belgium, was then exa mined by means of an interpreter, and he deposed, that according to the 28th article of the Code Penal of Bel gium, a person convicted of forgery, or any other of fence of that description, was incompetent to giv e testi mony in a Court of Justice, and his evidence could not be received. It appeared that Perry was sentenced to fifteen years' travaux forces, and the woman Pipe to twelve years of the same punishment. In cross-examination the witness said that, if the Judge thought proper, in case of doubtful evidence, he had the power to question a narty under such circum stances, if his statement was likely to throw any light upon the matter, but he could not examine him on oath. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL said he still entertained the opinion that the objection as to the competency of the party to give evidence should have been brought for ward on the voir dire, and he should therefore admit it ; but he would take a note of the objection.

Edward Gullun, an engraver, residing in Windmill street, Tottenham Court-road, stated that he was em ployed by the Marquis de Bourbel, in January, 1840, to execute some engraving for him, and continued in his employ for about two months. During that period he engraved three plates for him. The paper now produced (a letter of credit) was struck from these plates. The plates were delivered to the Marquis at his own resi dence, No. 184, Regent-street. He was introduced to the Marquis by Pipe, who was employed as his (the Marquis's) clerk. Knew a person of the name of Perry, a printer, who struck some impressions from the plates. He was given small slips of paper to engrave from. Cross-examined—Never saw a letter of credit before in his life that he was aware of. Was not aware at the time that what he engraved was a letter of credit. When he finished it he began to think there was something wrong. The latter part of the time he w.„ - .r at the Marquis's residence, as he (the Marquis) 41 of wish the work to be seen.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is new presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either alto„ ether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, b the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saving that there is no member of society by ehom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, takes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at. all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directel and very much assisted in investigating, and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will hero find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he chrga oil e l g be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYIIIAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which he will also re b s e u e r n e a t b o le fo d ll t o o w p f o r i o n m t o t u h t em th e if d no s. t relinquished. , ar s e oh to o- b s e qu c a o r n e s , u L l t o e n d don. daily at their y estrousou youth i s addict ed; consequences which a bdueraastinsoninonftethaes complaint, e in i t n t resl l l e e s n s e r e s , 7T,lFSriatnhd-sCtrOeet the Co d u e n t a t l y Po of t t i t h .n e t ir s the symptoms, age, general hab i t s of livin g , and occu p at i o n in are ca r s es el u a e s s t t o ed th to e life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the usual Consultation Fee of 11., without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may he relied on.

BRUSSELS, AuG. 17.—The Independent announces that Government has agreed to sanction the Joint- Stock Bank which it is proposed to establish at Ghent ; and that its bye•laws will be very shortly published under official sanction. The capitalists engaged in this Bank are, we believe,. chiefly English, and partly the same who would some years ago have founded an Anglo- Belgian Bank at Brussels, had they been able to obtain the consent oethe Ministry of that day. On Wednesday evening a private in the regiment of Guides, and a girl whose business was that of a work woman, slept at a house of ill-fame in the Rue des Cinq Etoiles ; and early next morning they were found (lead in their bed-room. The girl was lying on the bed, her face downwards and hidden in the bolster. The soldier was kneeling on the body of the woman, himself strangled by means of a handkerchief. No external injury was visible on the girl. The rumour is, that the soldier, in a fit of jealousy, suffocated the woman, and then hung himself. The steamer Soho landed at Antwerp on Friday morning 112 passengers from London, including Mrs. Colonel O'Meara and family, Major Howard, Captain Grindlay, Captain Sterling, &c. The price of corn has risen very rapidly within a few days, the last official average being 32f. 34e. the hec tolitre of wheat. Thus in six weeks the rise has been nearly 6f. the hectolitre, or 35 per cent., and the price is as high as it was in August, 1840. According to the " sliding scale" of the Belgian Corn-law, wheat can now be imported free of duty. It is expected, however, that the present prices will not be maintained, as they appear to result more from apprehension, and from sympathy with the rising markets in England, than from any positive as certained deficiency in the crops. The recent snatches of fine weather have been of important service to the corn, and a large portion of rye has already been got in. The stocks of last year's corn are said to be still very ample. The accounts are very favourable from the Campine (province of Antwerp). A richer crop of rye than the present has not been made for some years. All the crops, indeed, promise extremely well, except the hay, of which a large portion has been spoiled. Butter is very plentiful this year, but its price is kept up by considerable exportations. The Social's de la Grande Harmonic is receiving a solid testimony of public favour in the liberal subscrip tions in course of receipt towards the building of its new concert-room. The King has given 10,000 francs, Count Meeus, Governor of the Bank, 10,000 francs, the Duke d'Areinberg 2,500 francs, &c. It is stated that the portion between Cologne and Aix la-Chapelle of the Rhenish Railway will be opened for traffic in a very few days. The line from Aix-la-Cha pelle to the Belgian frontier will not be complete , ' for some time, owing to the numerous hills. The same remark applies to the Belgian Railway from the fron tier to Liege; but it seems that the works on the dificult ground between Liege and Ans are so far advanced that the trains will be able, before the end of the year to run into Liege itself. This will be a great boon to travellers ; for the present change of carriage at Ans, and the hour's jolting in omnibus to Liege, are at least as fatiguing as the whole journey from Brussels to Ans in the railway carriages. The journey from Ostend to Cologne will then offer a singular example of the differ ence between railroad and common road speed. About 140 miles of railway will be performed in seven hours ; while the break of only thirty miles will take between five and six hours to traverse in diligence. fsEL(IIAN! UNDl—BauseaLe. Auc. 'l4.

Mr. Thesiger said the plaintiff came forward under very great disadvantages ; he had to contend with powerful adversary in the person of the representative of the Times; but his actual calumniator was unknown. His motives could not be discovered, neither could his ratter be examined into. Great, however, as were the disadvantages under which the plaintiff laboured, he .(the Learned Counsel) hoped it would eventually be fount' that he stood upon equal terms with his adversary. The plaintiff had for many years been an active officer in the navy, and was allied to a family of great respecta bility. Some years ago his father died, and subse quently his mother married Mr. Cunningham Graham, a gentleman who at that time resided in Scotland. Pe cuniary circumstances, however, compelled Mr. Graham to take up his residence in France, where he remained with his family for some time, but eventually went to reside at Florence. In the year 1835 the plaintiff retired from the service upon half-pay, and went to live in the neighbourhood of his friends at Florence. Being a gentleman of active habits, he engaged himself to a merchant at that place, and officiated in the counting house, where he remained for some time. Having be come known to the inhabitants, he commenced busi ness on his own account as a bite!sa7 anal was sh. z rtiv after joined by two gentlemen of the n ames o f Kerrieli and M - Carthy, and the business was conducted under the firm of Bogle, Kerrick, and Co. Their establishment met with success, and was supported by most of the inha-_ bitants of Florence. The plaintiff was living in affluence, and enjoyed the esteem and respect of all who were ac quainted with him, when the unfortunate circumstance which gave rise to the present action occurred, by which his'prospects were blighted, and his happiness destroyed. In the year 1840 a number of foreigners—some of them persons of high respectability—entered into a conspiracy td defraud the continental bankers. The :Theme was to be carried into eff . ect by means of forged letters of credit, which were to. be presented simultaneously at the dif ferent banking-houses, and by that means a consider able sum would be raised. The plaintiff was -totally unconnected with the scheme, and was perfectly igno rant of anything of the kind being contemplated. When, however, some of the parties concerned were brought to justice, it was found that some of his nearest relations had been engaged in the conspiracy— his stepfather, Cunningham Graham, and his son, Alex ander Graham, were active participators in it. As soon as it became known that those parties were coucerned, the plaintiff became an object of suspicion, and some of the conspirators had the audacity to couple his name with theirs. Under such circumstances the plaintiff felt that the only course fur him to pursue, in justice to the respectable gentleman with whom he was connected, was to withdraw from the concern, and not involve them in the consequences. He had no opportunity of vindicating his character in the Tuscan States, and consequently he returned to this country, and on his arrival he had the mortification to find that the cal umn i es h a d f o ll owe d hi m , and were circulated in the Times newspaper. The Learned Counsel then read the article complained of, which ap peared in that journal of the 26th May, 1840. It was headed "Extraordinary and Extensive Forgery and Swindling on the Continent," and purported to be from their Brussels correspondent. The article went on to state that a conspiracy had been discovered on the Con tinent, by which it was intended to plunder the con tinental bankers by means of false letters of credit on the bank of Messrs. Glynn and Co., of London, that the - parties as far as could then be ascertained were fourteen in number, whose names were then given, amongst them were Cunningham Graham, an anonym ou s p a rtner in the hous e o f Bogle, Kerrick, and Co., and Allen Bogle, son-in-law of Cunningham Graham, and chief partner in the house of Bogle and Co. ; there was also the name of the Marquis do Bourbel. Then followed the exami nation of some witnesses taken before the authorities at Florence, and copies of some letters found upon some of the conspirators, directing the manner in which the money so raised was to be disposed of. In one of those letters it said, " That Bogle would get his share of the money easily, as he would not have much to do in the affair." The Learned Counsel would ask then, whether under those circumstances the defendant was justified in asserting so serious a charge against a person, who, up to that period, had sustained an umblem ished character. What could Mr. Bogle do but call upon the pt inter and publisher of the paper to state upon what authority the charges were made, and to require a full and unqualified contradiction. A letter was accordingly written to the defendant, and his soli citor on the 24th of June, wrote in answer that a commu nication had been made to the gentleman who furnished the article, and requesting that proceedings might be stayed till his answer had been received. Six days were given for that purpose, and on the 30th ofJune Mr. Bogle, being most anxious to vindicate his character, com menced these proceedings, and the trial would have taken place lon g ago , b ut had b een d e l a y e d a t theinsti gation of the defendant, who had from time to time . had it postponed i n or d er that witnesses on hi s b e h a lf might be examined abroad, for which purpose no less than 15 commissions have been issued. The plaintiff was now be fore them, and he trusted that his character would ulti mately be vindicated. Undoubtedly a conspiracy did exist throughoutihe Continent,and equally true it was that persons of high character were engaged in it, but the defendant, in publishing the particulars, when he was informed that he was in error in connecting the plaintiff's name with it, oug h t at once to have g i ven i t an unquali fied contradiction. Had such a course been pursued, the defendant's character would have been restored, and he would have been satisfied. That, however, had not been done, and therefore he threw himself into the hands of the Jury, trusti n g to t h eir judgment, an d re lyi ng upon their protection—trusting that by their verdict they would restore his reputation—restore his peace of mind, and enable him again to look round upon his friends and associates. Hutton Monkhouse, clerk to Mr. Fyson, the plaintiff's solicitor, produced a certified copy of the register from Somerset House, and stated that the writ was issued on the 30th of June, 1840. Before it was issued he received a letter from the defendant's solicitor, in which he stated that the gentleman who furnished the article had been written to, and requested that the writ might not he served till an answer had been received. Not receiving any further communication, a wi it was issued on the 30th of June, and the pleas were put in in November. There were several commissions issued for examining witnesses on the Continent. Cross-examined—On the day the writ was served he wrote a letter to the defendant's solicitors, stating that it was necessary that the action should be tried as soon as possible, and for that purpose the venue had been laid in Surrey, the Assizes having been fixed for the sth of August. Was aware at the time that the libel com plained of related to a conspiracy said to have e a xisted on the Continent. When .the defendant applied for a commission to examine witnesses, he (witness) opposed it. There were fifteen commissions issued for different towns on the Continent. The plaintiff joined in two of the commissions which were sent to Brussels and Flo rence. That was in February last. Ile believed the com mission from Florence was not yet returned. He joined in that commission which was to examine a person of the name of Charles Roster. Colonel Allcock stated that he resided at Florence for some time, and knew the plaintiff, who carried on a bank ing establishment there, in connection with Messrs. Ker rick and M‘Carthy. Was not intimately acquainted with the plaintiff Merely knew him in business, but was on intimate terms, and associated with the other part ners. Ilad seen the article alluded to in the Times. Ilad no doubt that the plaintiff was the person referred to. Cross-examined--Ilad frequently conversed with the plaintiff Ilad met him at the Grand Duke's. Knew of the forgeries on the continental bankers. Everybody heard of them. Never heard from the plaintiff that he was present when one of the forged papers was presented. Believed that he saw the plaintiff at the bank after he heard of the forgeries. Messrs. Kerrick and MV:trthy occupied one office, and the plaintiff another. The cash was kept in plaintiff's apartment. Witness had a letter of credit which he drew money upon. When he drew money the amount was endorsed on the letter of credit. That continued till the whole sum for which the letter was given was exhausted. His letter of credit was upon Messrs. Glyn and Co. He was there long enough to run through more than one letter of credit. Believed he destroyed it after it was done with. Had met Cunning ham Graham, but never associated with him. Did not know Alexander Graham. Believed they left Florence shortly after the forgeries were discovered. Knew a person of the name of Phillipson there. Believed the letter of credit now produced he had previously seen in Florence. It was shown to him by Mr. Phillipson. This was the case for the plaintiff. Sir Wm. FOLLETT then addressed the Jury, and said his Learned Friend complained that the proprietors had not given up the name of the author of the statement, but he considered the course they had adopted was the most honourable and proper for them to have pursued ; and the defendant's case might also rest upon the alleged libel itself, for ho should submit that it afforded almost direct evidence of the guilt of the plaintiff ; and his Learned Friend did not attempt to d en y t h at P erry , one of the actors in the conspiracy had, before the authori ties of Antwerp, openly accused Mr. Bogle of being con cerned in the conspiracy. The letters also were not denied, but he should be able to prone that they were actually written, and that they w ere se i ze d by th e French authorities ; and in thos e l et t ers t h e plaintiff was also charged with being an actor in the conspiracy, and his conduct was expressly referred to. Why should the author of the , statement be accused as an anon) - mous slanderer ? These docume n t s were i n t h e h an d s of the authorities ; the contents were known, and they were furnished to the Times, and p u bli s h e d by that Journal for the information of the public, who were so deeply interested in the disclosure of such matters, Mr. Bogle was not a public man ; to the proprietors of the Times, at-all events he was entirely unknown ; they could have had uo malice towards him, and it was only the course of their strict duty that the matters were made public. The statement was published upon the authority of a correspondent. in whom they placed con fidence, and it would be shown that they were justified in the confidence they replaced in him. They still believed the statement to be true, and they were there that day to prove it to be so. When the complaint was first made to them, they considered their first duty was to see whe ther the statement was false, and if they had found it to be so, they would at once have admitted it, and have made compensation to Mr. Bugle; but the the result of their inquiries led them, unhappily, to form a very differ ent conclusion, and they could not help feeling that Mr. Bogle was really a guilty party in the transaction, and they were now prepared to lay befor the Jury the proofs hat had satisfied them of this fact, and hehad very little doubt that they would also satisfy the Jury. Great difficulties had been thrown in the way of the defendants in getting up evidence. They had no means of compelling the attendance of witnesses who were abroad, and they had already heard that the plaintiff had shown all the opposition he could to them ; but, notwithstanding this, he had no doubt he should be enabled to lay such a case before the Jury as would induce them to return a verdict. for the dafendant. Much had been said about the high connexions, and the former station of Mr. Gra - ham, but however this might be, it was quite clear that he and his son had been a party to one of the most in famous conspiracies that had ever been disclosed in a Court of Justice. There was no doubt, therefore, of the existence of a conspiracy to defraud, and he should he able to show beyond all doubt that it was first concocted in Florence, and that Graham and his son were active par ties to it, and he was also sure that lie should have verb little difficulty in proving to the Jury that the plaintiff was also a guilty party to the conspiracy. The Learned Counsel then read the whole of the alleged libel, and he asked the Jury whether it could be called an anonymous charge, when for the most part it consisted of public do cuments and of depositions made before a Court of Jus- tice, which the Times had done no more than republish. The Learned Counsel then referred to the different letters, and said that he should produce others that would leave no doubt of the fact he stated. In all these letters the plaintiff was referred to as having been connected with the conspiracy. There was no doubt that it was a most serious imputation upon Bogle, and that he must suffer most grievously by it, but this was a natural consequence of being concerned in a guilty transaction ; and if the facts were proved against him he must abide by the conse quences. He would now proceed to lay before the Jury the circumstances of this conspiracy, and in a matter of such vital importance in a commercial community he might be excused for going into some little detail upon the subject. They had heard that the plaintiff was the son-in-law of Mr. Graham, and it would not be neces sary to enter into any particulars of his previous history, but to state that he at length went to Florence, where he established himself with two other gentlemen in busi ness as bankers. Messrs. Glyn and Co., London, it appeared, had a mode of doing business by giving circular letters of credit to the nkers in the different towns of the Continent, which letters were signed by one of the partners, and any person holding one of those letters was enabled to get money at any bankers with whom Messrs. Glyn kept an account all over the Continent of Europe, and the only voucher for the genuiness of the instrument was the signature of one of the partners, and no letter of advice was sent. The Learned Counsel then said that by means of a tracing-machine an exact fac simile of a signature could be obtained, and he said he believed he should be able to satisfy the Jury that the forged letters of credit made use of in the course of this conspiracy were signed by the means of such a machine, so that the forged signature was most accurate. He should also, he said, be able to show that the forgery was com pleted at Florence, and he was afraid by the elder Graham, and that it was arranged that ten or twelve of the conspi rators should go to different parts of the Continent, ob taining money in all directions, and they were then to proceed to England and divide it among them. It would appear that in 1839 the Marquis Bourbel, one of the con spirators with th,e elder Graham, his son Alexander, and the plaintiff, were at Florence, and the first-mentioned person, who did not bear a very reputable character, resided near that city, and he had a banking account with the house of Bogle, Kerrick, and Co. It would be impossible for them to prove the conspiracy by the statements of the parties themselves , but from the circumstances he should lay before them, he did not think there could be any doubt that at this time the scheme was first concocted. It had been shown that the letters of credit that had been referred to were not left in the care of the bankers ; and there was, therefore, a difficulty how to get a signature of one of the firm. It appeared that at this time a gentle man namen Nicholson resided at Florence, and he had a letter of credit for 1,5001., and the bank of the plaintiff was applied to to advance money upon that-letter in the ordi nary course of business ; and Mr. Icktholson, contrary to the usual custom, left this letter of t : edit in the custody of Mr. Kerrick, one of the partners. This, then, would give an opportunity of obtainine( signature ; and he should show that, in 1839, the plaintiff, by a false - pretence, that Mr. Nicholson wanted to draw money upon the letter of credit, ob tained possession of it from Mr. Kerrick. He should prove to the Jury that Mr. Nicholson made no application of the sort, and after it had been several hours in Mr. Bogle's possession lie returned it to Mr. Kerrick. Mr. Graham was ordered to leave Florence, and after he was gone a small machine was sent to the bank for him, the object of which machine was to enable any one to obtain an exact fac-simile of any writing submitted to its operation, and there was no doubt but that this had been made use of to obtain the genuine signature from the letter of credit he had referred to, and which was afterwards transferred to the forged documents ; and this must naturally lead to the conclusion that Bourbel, Graham, and Bogle, were the original promoters of the conspiracy. What could Bogle want to gain possession of the letter of credit for, and what object could he have, when they considered the circumstance of the tracing machine, but to obtain a copy from the genuine • signature. He should show the Jury that after this Bourbel and the Baron Ageneau, another of the party, proceeded to London, where they obtained from Messrs. Glyn and Co. a letter of credit for 150/., and having drawn back all the money except 51. at Paris, they returned to London, and they there induced Perry, another party concerned in the conspiracy, to engrave a plate for them, aad having previously purchased a quantity of the same description of paper as that used by Messrs. Glyn and Co. for the genuine letters, a great number was struck off, and as nothing was now wanted but the signature, they set off to Florence with the forged letters, to get the signature added to them. It would be proved that upon Bourbel's return to Florence he was in a private room with the plaintiff, with the door locked, for several hours, and the circumstance was remarked as being an unusual one by Mr. Kerrick. It would be proved that immediately after this, one of- the party, who went by the name of the Marquis de Pendry, presented a forged letter of credit for 2,000/. to different bankers at Bologna and Trieste, and, obtained the whole amount. The Learned Counsel then went on to detail further pro ceedings of the party, and said that a number of sub ordinate agents were employed, who proceeded to dif ferent parts of the Continent, and succeeded in obtaining large sums of money upon the forged documents. The scheme, however, it appeared, was put an end to by the proceedings of one of the parties, named Perry, in Ire land, who, having received 700/. upon one letter of credit from a banker at Brussels, presented the same letter al most immediately afterwards to a banker at Antwerp, and this excited surprise, and he and a woman named Angelina Pipe, who had accompanied him. were taken into custody, and they were subsequently condemned, the former to 15, and the latter to 12 years at the galleys. When this man was taken into custody he made the deposition that had appeared, and then openly accused the plaintiff Bogle of being concerned in the conspi racy ; and the matter was looked upon in such a light that a communication was sent to the Charge d'Affaires of this country at Florence, and Mr. Kerrick, the plain tiff's partner, was sent for, and the statement was shown to him. Mr. Kerrick, as might be expected, was dread fully affected at what he heard, as up to that time he had not the slightest suspicion of the honour of his partner. He immediately sent for Mr. Bogle and told him the charge that was made against him, and instead of his asserting his innocence, or doing that which an innocent man would have done under the circumstances, he ap peared to sink under the accusation, and he at once con sented to retire from all connection with the bank. He was intreated to deny the charge, but lie did not do so, and lie put it to the Jury whether this was the conduct of an innocent man. Why did he retire from the partnership ? Why did he shrink from entering into any explanation of the charge :made against him if he were not guilty ? Finding that no explanation was offered by the plaintiff, the Tuscan Government in terfered, and the plaintiff was ordered to leave Florence ' in five days ; and, although another day's delay was re -11 quested as a favour, it was refused, and he was com pelled to leave Florence at the specified time. The Learned Counsel then went on to say that after Bogle had left Florence several letters addressed to Bour bel and C. Smith, Esq. (no such person being known), were received in parcels addressed as private communi cations to the plaintiff, which were subsequently opened with the consent of the authorities, and they were to re fer to the proceedings of the conspiracy, and the mode in which it had been carried out. The Learned Coun sel then proceeded at some length to remark upon the circumstances of the case, and he concluded by stating that he had the greatest confidence that when all the facts were laid before the Jury they would be satisfied of the truth of the alleged libel, and that they would re turn a verdict for the defendant. The following evidence was then adduced : Mr. George Carr' lyn deposed that he was a partntr in the firm of Glyn and Co. and describ e d t h e i r mode of transacting business with their letters of credit. He identified the signature of Mr. Halifax, one of the part ners in the firm, and he also proved that no persons of the names of Perry, Ireland, Coulston, Pipe, or Vandeck kept an account or had any credit at their house. The statement of' the man Perry, made under the commission by order of the Court, was then about to be put in, when Mr. Thesiger objeeted that this person having been convicted of an infamous crime, his evidence was not admissible. Lord Chief Justic t Tindal expressed his opinion that the objection should have been taken at the time of the ex amination, and tit it wastoo late now to make it. It should also be proved that it ,vas in accordance with the law of that country. •1.... j. The statement of Perry was then read. It was merely a copy of that which formed part of the libel. Several bills of exchange, varyingin amount from 1001. to 400/., which had been given to the various continental bankers for cash advanced upon the letters of credit, were also proved Mr. Thos. Kerrick stated that he had resided at Flo rence for some years. and formerly carried on the busi ness of a banker, in conjunction with Mr. Bogle and Mr. M`Carthy. The partnership commenced in 1837. First became acquainted with Bogle in 1835, when he first went to reside at Florence. He afterwards was a clerk in the house of a Mr. Johnson. Mr. Cunningham Gra ham became acquainted with him in 1835, but did not know his son, Alex. Graham. After he commenced busi ness he was in the habit of seeing Graham from time to time at the banking-house. The house was one of the correspondents of Glyn and Co. Knew Mr. Robert Nicholspn, who brought him a letter of credit from Messrs. Glyn and Co. Several advanees were made upon it. The first was in November, 1839, and the second in January, 1840. When the first payment was made, Mr. Nicholson loft the• letter of credit with him, and he put it into a tin-box which he kept in his desk in his office. It was not usual to leave letters of credit with bankers. Mr. Bugle was aware that he had the letter. About the end of December, Bogle asked him for the letter, but did not say what he wanted it for. He (the witness) asked him whether Nicholson was about drawing again, and he said he did not know. Witness gave him the letter, and he kept it about three hours, and then returned it. Mr. Nicholson had not drawn upon it when it was returned. Knew a person who called him self the Marquis de Bourbel. Was introduced to him by Bogle, in March, 1839. The Marquis opened an ac count with them. He then resided sometimes at Florence and sometimes at Leghorn. The Marquis left for England in January, and did not return till April, 1840. Bogle's room was where the cash was kept and paid, and is divided by a glass partition. On one occasion, early in January, he saw the Marquis in Bogle's room : he was then outside the partition. Witness left the room, and on his return in about half an hour he was inside the private room with Bogle. Witness tried to get into the room, but the door was fastened, and he went away. Could see throns,, , h the glass door that the Marquis and Bogle were in close conversation. They remained toge ther two or three hours. A person who called himself the Count de Pendry presented a letter of credit at the Bank. (Letter produced.) Bogle was in at the time, and he introduced him to witness. He examined the sig nature, and he believed it to be the genuine signature of Glyn and Co. The Count drew 2001. upon it, end gave three bills of exchange for the amount On the following day the Count returned with the letter, and requested to have the bills back upon his returning the two hundred pounds, and stated as his reason for so doing that the authenticity of the letter had been doubted, and he ap peared very indignant. Heard Mr. M'Carthy say that the Count had endeavoured to obtain money upon it from a person of the name of Phillipson, who had doubted its authenticity. Witn*iss again examined it with other letters, and still believed it genuine. The 2001. was returned, and he took up the bills in the Count's pre sence. Never saw him after that time. The first he heard of this conspiracy was from the English Consul. On the 9th of May he received some documents from him, and also from Messrs. Oppenheim and Co. respecting. it. Finding thatßogle's name was mentioned in the trans actions, witness went in search of him. It !wires after business hours, on a Saturday, found him at his own house, He then read the documents to him. [The document. which was a copy of the deposition of a person of the name of Ireland, was read. The particular portion al luded to was that he (Ireland) had heard young Graham say that Bogle would easily earn his share (alluding to the conspiracy), as he had had but little to do in the business.] When witness read the document to Bogle his distress was very great, and it was painful to see him. He could not recollect precisely what he said, but he .:dmitted that he was ruined. On the following day w it ne ,:s. accompanied by Mr. M`Carthy, called upon B og i e b e ,.,;yeen eleven and twelve o'clock. He was then in god. They had a long conversation, and he (Bogle) expressed ii3s determination immediately to leave the concern, and declared that he would ,never enter the bank again. Witness begged of him to reflect before he took such a step, but he said he was determined, and desired him to take the keys of the bank, which be had possession of. On the following day he saw him again, when a notice of dissolution of partnership was prepared. Mr. Bogle called at the bink once after that time. It was on the 23d of May, and he then said that he had received an order from the police to leave the kingdom within five days, and requested him to intercede with the Minister to get an extension of the time. He believed that Mr. M`Carthy made the applica tion, but was not certain. Saw Mr. Bogle again after that time, and asked him why he did not go to his old places of resort, when he replied that he had not the spirits to do 50. Bogle left the kingdom on the 28th of May, previous to which a parcel was received at the house, addressed to the firm, bearing the Algiers post mark. Upon opening it, it was found to contain only a letter, addressed " A. Bogle, Esq." (private.) . After he left, two other packets, simi larly addressed, were received, and each containing en closures as before (the letters and enclosures were pro produced). Knew M. de Mesumer, a banker at Rome. Had a conversation with him on the subject of the for geries, and showed him the letters he had received. In consequence of some remarks he made he took the letters to the English Minister, by whom they were opened. Was aware that Mr. Graham's family left Florence on the 29th or 30th of May. Before they left they sent a quantity of articles to his premises to be taken care of ; amon g st them was a lathe and the machine now pro duced. He took no notice of those articles at the time, but, subsequently, in consequence of a commu nication made by a person of the name of Roster ; he was induced to examine the machine, and found it was an invention for tracing signatures. When Boyle left he did not say where he was going to. Cross-examined—Had visited Cunningham Graham and his family. Mr. Bogle had the management of the cash department at the bank. Persons were frequently in the habit of gossiping there. Re-examined—Mr. Bogle had the keys of the bank, and could go there whenever he pleased. When he was about leaving he asked him why he did not go tl.rough France, when he replied, that he would do so only he was afraid of being arrested. The letters pro duced arc certified copies of some letters which he saw at the I'alais de Justice at Paris. Was acquainted with the Marquis de Bourbel's handwriting. Believed those letters to have been written by him. He also knew the handwriting of Cunningham Graham. Believed that one of the letters he saw there com mencing " My dear Alexander" was in his handwriti ng . Another letter also, c ommencing in the s ame manner.. he believed to be in the handwriting of the Marquis de Bourbel. _ Sir William Follett proposed to read the letters, in order to show that the letters set out in libel were copied from them. Mr.Thesiger objected, and contend e d t h at the originals must. be produced. Sir William Follett said, that the original letters were in the poisession of the officers of one of the Council Courts of Paris, and it was impossible to obtain them, and called Mr. kerrick, who stated that he went to the Palais de Justice in order to compare the copies of the letter with the originals, and was told there that it was impossible he could have the originals. Mr. Dobree, the solicitor to the defendant, stated that in August last he went to the Continent, in order to collect evidence with respect to this action. He went to nearly all the places where the bankers had been robbed. At Paris he applied for the originals of the letters produced, and was informed by the Procureur du Roi and other officers connected with the Court, that it was impSssible he could have them. A long and desultory argument ensued, but eventually ' The Learned Judge permitted the copies of the letters to be read, but promised to take a note of Mr. Thesiger's objection. • The letters were then read. They were addressed to A. Graham, and related chiefly to the disposal of the money which should be obtained. One of them con eluded as follows :- 4, Pray don't forget to Au tose d n i cl ey lf st O r / e . e to t, the Satirist. Gregory lives at 15, North and we shall be sure then not to be exposed." Mr. George Timms. an engineer in the employ of Messrs. Holzapfel and Co., proved that the machine pro duced (which was left in the care of o Mr taking r io K g e a rr o ic e k xae by t Graham) was used forthe purpose copy of a signature. Cross-examined — lt was also used for copying draw ings in an increased or diminished state. G e orge Turner, clerk to Mr. Hughes, an attorney, stated that he knew Pipe, who sometimes passed by the name of Coulson. Was acquainted with his hand-writ : j o g. Believed the letters produced to be written by him. These letters were then read. They were letters al luded to by Mr. Kerrick, as having been received by him after Mr. Bogle left Florence. One letter was ad- I dressed " A. Bogle, Esq.," in which were inclosed two others, one to the " Marquis de Bourbel," and the other I to "C. Smith, Esq." That addressed to the Marquis commenced, " My dear B—.—," in which the writer, after describing his journey and his future movements. expressed his willingness as things had turned out 60 bad, to assist him, in order that all the losses should not fall upon him, and hoped that the other parties concerned Would do the same ; and concluded in these terms " Keep up your spirits ; all will be right. G-- says Mr. Saunders, of the firm of Morbey t and Co., paper makers, George-street, Mansion House, made some pa per, by Pipe's order, in January, 1840 ; the paper on which the bills of credit were printed w.is 50.112 of the paper in question. This was the case in behalf of the.deLnidant. • Mr. THESIGER replied. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL summed up, and at ten o'clock the Jury retired, and after ban absen;, about half an hour they returned into Court, finding a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages one farthing, The trial occupied thirteen hours. PUNTER V. GRANTLEY. The proceedings in the above cause were resumed this morning. Mr. TIMMER appeared'for Lord Grantley, and after giving a detail of all the circumstances of the -ejection of Punter, and the right of Lord Grantley to the cottage (the particulars of which are well known to the public), called the following witnesses : George Trekner stated that he had lived in the Grant ley family for fifty-four years. Was gamekeeper from the year 1796 to 1823. Recollected an auction taking place at the village public house in 1795, when the cot tages were put up for sale by order of the parish officers. One of those ccttages was the subject of the present in quiry. It was knocked down to Mr. Head, Lord Grant ley's steward. Witness had frequently accompanied his Lordship to the cottage ; it was in a very dilapidated state, and be had it repaired. Had frequently accom panied his Lordship to the cottage from that period to the time of his death in 1822 • and during that period he had ordered it to be repaired several times ; it was once or twice thatched ; a new staircase was made, and vines were planted in the garden, all by his Lord ship's directions. Never recollected Mr. Head being overseer of the parish. About thirty years ago there was a walnut-tree in the garden, which was partly dead, and he heard his Lordship give Mrs. Punter leave to have it cut down for firewood. Cross-examined—Was still in the service of Lord Grantley. Had frequently talked with him on the sub ject of the present action. At the last trial he stated that he was not in the auction-room when the cottages were sold. He was not present, but was told the cottage was knocked down to Mr. Head. Did not say anything about the walnut-tree at the last trial. He used to be out very much with old Lord Grantley. Mr. Sergeant SHE A—He was very good to the poor, I believe ? Witness—Very good indeed. Mr. Sergeant SHEA—Always ready with a shilling for any poor person that wanted One ? Witness—Y es , h e gave a great deal away. I hare, by his directions, given RS much as a pipe of wine a year to the poor, besides large quantities of coals and wood. The old gentleman was a widower. He was very fond of shooting, and generally on his return, as well as at other times, would call and have a gossip at Punter's. He was never above speaking to the poor. When his Lordship went into the house, of course he (witness) had to remain outside. Could not recollect how long he used to stop at the cottage. Sometimes he went there two or three times a week. Mr. Sergeant SHEA—Perhaps a little oftener ? Wit ness (shaking his head)—Oh, no ; he was a very old man.---(Loud laughter.) On one occasion his Lordship desired him to order a hole in the stairs to be mended. Mr. Seigeant SHEA—Did he not say that the hole must be mended because he had put his foot into it ? 'Witness—l don't recollect that. Ann Collingham stated that her aunt fotinerly owned the cottage in question. In 1792 she (theaunt) was sent to St. Luke's, but returned in about a year, and went back to her cottage, where she remained some time, but again becoming insane, she was removed to the work house, and the parish sold her goods. Did not of her own knowledge know what was done with the cottage. Frederick Wills,_ late an overseer of the parish, said he did not recollect the sale of the cottage, but produced one •of the parish cash-books, in which was an entry to the following effect, in the handwriting of Mr. Head. : Received 101. 10s. for house in lane." The date was 1795. - Mr. Sergeant SHEA objected to the took being re ceived in evidence, and it was consequently withdrawn. Abraham Punter, an elder brother of the plaintiff, stated that he recollected his father going to live in the cottage; and he also recollected hearing his mother say — Mr. Sergeant SIIEA objected to anything said by his mother. Witness recollected Lord Gran tley having the cottage repaired from time to time. His father was in the work house for the last two or three years of his life, and died there, but his mother resided in the cottage during that time. Recollected his brother (plaintiff) going to th e cottage after his father's death. * His mother continued to reside in the cottage, but was eventually turned out by the plaintiff, and she then went to reside with her daughter, Mrs. Edwards. His mother had been dead about four years. Cross-examined—His brother Thomas was about the cottage at the time, and built an additional room to it for the plaintiff. Witness did not claim the cottage for himself ; it was Lord Grantley's, as far as he knew. Daniel Edwards stated that he married a sister of the plaintiff's twenty-nine years ago ; previous to that he was in the habit of going to the cottage to visit her for seven or eight years. At that time old Punter and Ins wife lived - theiv. Witness lived in the cottage with them for two or three years after he was married. Never saw old Lord Grantley in the cottage, but had frequently seen him near it in the lane. Old Punter was at home some times, but the old girl was always master of him.— (Laughter.) Recollected the cottage being repaired a second time by Lord Grantley about twenty-six years ago. About three years before her death Mrs. Punter went to his house late one night and slept there. After that she never went back to the cottage. She complained of having been turned out, and said that John (the plain tiff) had come home very rabid, and turned her out. He witness) believed, however, that he did not turn her out. Cross-examined—The old woman had a pretty good temper pf her own. Mr. Thai.: as Butcher st a t e d th a t h e f or merly lived at Norcote, a farM v 26 years ago hearing an alarm fr om very near the plaintiff's cottage ; recol lects one night abom; Y to the cottage, Mrs. Punter's grand-dau 6 :hter ; in consequence he we nt, accompanied by some o f his st.:,vants, and saw the old lady s t an ding in the field ; he wa s not ver y close to her, b u t s h e a pp e ared to be in her m elt-dress the plaintiff was also there ; he appears to barn a great passion, and was swearing. Lord Grantley, Henry Killick, gardener to the late planted some vines in the cottage garden about 23 years ago, by direction of his Lordship. d the stairs at the William Grants, a carpenter, repure Grantley ; cottage many years ago, by d irecti ,, n of Lord Grant he also did some work there in 16-0. David Catlin, thatched the cott a g e b y his Lordshi p 's directions 28 or 30 years ago. Charles Pimpfield knew of the cottage being thatched - at the expense of h is Lordship, once about 30 years ag o, and d time a few y ears subse q uentl y . The chips a secwerenonthered from Lord Grautley's osier beds. Susan Edwards d d said she slept with her grandmother. old Mrs. Punter, whilst she was at the cottage ; left it t seven years ago ; recollected the plaintiff coming about home one night very drunk ; when she (witness) went in h e w as kicking up a row, and swore he would mace a slaughter ; she got out of the window into the field, and her grandmother followed her, and they then went to her (witness's) father's. James Wynne stated that he resided at Wonersh some time ago; recollected hearing the plaintiff say one nigh: that Mr. Head had applied to him for rent for the cot tage, and unless some one paid it for him, he should be turned out. He further said, that he had applied to the parish, and they had promised to pay it for him, and de sired him not to trouble himself further about it. Wm. MU said he recollected the cottage being sold by the parish in 1795. At that time a person of the name of Hetherington was living in it, but soon after it was oc cupied by old Punter. A few years since he recollected that the plaintiff contemplated building an oven ; he was asked how he intended to pay for it, and he said that he should cut down the fir-tree and sell it. A person who was present, told him he had better have a little advice before he did so, or he might get himself into trouble. A month or two afterwards he again saw him, when he said he had had some advice about the tree, and had de termined not to cut it down, as it belonged to Lord Grantley, who had bought it Of the parish. Henry Hughes stated that in the year 1834 he went with Mr. Harland into a field where the plaintiff was at work. Mr. Harland told him that his Lordship had sent him to know whether he would pay a small tr:fle for the rent of the cottage he was living in. He replied that he would not pay a farthing ; the property . was key-hold ; he had got possession, and would not give any acknow ledgment whatever. In the course of the same year the fir-tree was cut down by direction of his Lordship. Witness received instructions to assist from Mr. Bar land. After it was cut down it was carried to his Lord ship's wood yard. Mr. Butcher was recalled, • and stated that he consi dered the cottage was worth about 30/. or 401. By the Jury—To build it as it was before, with the old materials, would cost about 301. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL said it could not be put in precisely the same state ; besides, the materials were removed. Cross-examined—To build a new cottage would pro bably cost 601. or 70/. The cottage, with a quarter of an acre of land, would let for 5/. or Gl. This was the evidence on behalf of the defence. Mr. Sergeant SHEA then addressedthe Jury for the plaintiff, and thus concluded,:—The . plaiutiff claimed --- IMPORTANT to PERSONS GOING to LIVERPOOL. 1 - 4 1 AND M.
