Just as the business at Marlborough -street Police-office was about to conclude yesterday, Mr. James Fraser, book seller, 215, Regent-street, whose appearance indicated that very great personal violence had recently been used towards him, presented himself before Mr. Dyer and Mr. Cham bers, to charge the Hon. Grantley Fitzhardinge Berkeley with an assault. The defendant, a tall, powerful man, and far beyond the complainant in size and strength, was armed with a heavy whip, which, when he was placed at the bar, Mr. Chambers insisted on h!s relinquishing. Mr. Fraser : I have to complain of one of the most brutal assaults Which has ever been committed on a tradesman. I was alone in my shop, a short time ago, my assistants having gone to dinner, when two persons came in, and one of them, the defendant at the bar, asked me if my name was Fraser. I replied it was, and he said I wish to know the author of the article in your magazine called " Mr. Grantley Berkeley and his Novel." I asked, who have I the honour of speak ing to ?—and he r,plied, I am Grantley Berkeley, and I wish to know who is the author of that review. I said I must consider before I can give up the author's name, and I was about to add that I could not give up the name, although I had full permission so to do from the writer, when I was instantly knocked down by the defendant. The blow was so violent that I fell like a brute behind a small desk. The defendant then dealt upwards of 20 blows on my bad!, while I was lying on the ground. I was nearly insensible, but I had sufficient recollection left to be aware that he had got hold of a whip, and was lashing me with it —cutting me over the face and hands with all his strength. —[Here Mr. Fraser pointed to the wounds on his face, evidently produced by the whip.] I called out for assist ance as loudly as I could. Three or four persons came to the door, but the other gentleman who is now in the office deterred them from coming in, and did all he could to pre vent any one from rendering me assistance. Mr. Chambers asked the individual pointed out by Mr. Fraser what his name was ? The individual replied, it was Craven Fitzhardingo Berkeley, and he was quite ready to admit that he did keep the people out. There was a slight error in Mr. Fraser's statement. He positively refused to give the author's name. When he saw his brother, Mr. Grantley Berkeley, about to strike him, he then said he would take time to consider. GAN. t he Order' of the Day being moved for ping into Col ,tn• Alittee on th e B r ib ery a t El ec ti ons Bill, terra °n ? l SIBTHORP said that, though unwilling to in so the bu s i ness o f t h e H ouse, he st ill f e l t t h at a Bill att, Pr‘i,ant sho u ld no t b e presse d th roug h w ith so thin an thatd},44ce of H on .

I came out on purpose to horsewhip the writer of the article, according to his own suggestion. In the magazine there is au article gossly reflecting on me and my family, and in it the writer recommends an acquaintance of mine to horse whip me ;\so I availed myself of the suggestion. !Slr. Chambers—This is much too serious a case to deal with in a summary way. If we convicted the defendant in the penalty .of 3/., it would vitiate - any future proceeding. The best wav will'bo to call on both parties, Mr. Grantley Berkeley and Mr. Craven Berkeley, to find bail. Mr. Fraser—ln addition to what I have stated, I have to say thlit Mr. Grantley Berkeley threatened to horsewhip me whereVer he met me. • Mr. Chambers—Perhaps Mr. Grantley Berkeley will recal his threat, otherwise I must call - upon him for very heavy bail. Mr. Grantley BcrkeleyNo, I can't recall my words ; my feelings arc too painfully excited by the insult I have ex perienced. Mr. Chambers—l can tell you, sir, that the laws will not allow a tradesman to be so intimidated. It would, in deed, be an abominable state of things if a person could not carry on his business, or go out publicly, because be is ex posed to threats of violence. lam in doubt whether I will take bail at all under such circumstances. Mr. Grantley Berkeley—The words were spoken in a moment of anger, and I am willing to recal them. Mr. Fraser—This individual, Mr. Craven Berkeley, told me he would deal with me in the same manner. Mr. Craven Berkeley—Not till you called me a coward. ,Mr. Fraser—l said your conduct was cowardly in pre venting any person from coming to my assistance. Mr. Dyer (to Mr. Craven Berkeley)—Perhaps when you recollect that we sit, here as Magistrates, to preserve the peace, you will see the expediency of also recalling your threat, otherwise your bail must be increased. Mr. Craven Berkeley—Well, I have no objection to recal it. Mr. Chambers—Why, your brother might have killed the complainant. Mr. Craven Berkeley—Oh ! I would not let him kill Mr. Fraser, who only got what he deserved. We came out on purpose to lick him. Had he been a better man than my brother then my brother would have suffered. Mr. Graittley Berkeley—We served him just as he de served. Mr. ChamberS—You must both put in bail, that Mr. Fraser may have an opportunity of appealing to the laws of the country against this outrage. The parties then left the office. The article referred to by Mr. Grantley Berkeley appears in Fraser's Magazine for this month, and is headed " Mr. Grantley Berkeley and his Novel." The passages which appear to have excited the ire of the defendants to the greatest extent are as follows. Speaking of " Berkeley Castle," the Reviewer sqs :—" But in the present case how absolutely disgusting is the conduct of Mr. Grantley Berke ley. He should have been among the last people in the world to call public.attention to the history of his house. Why, may we ask him, is his eldest brother pitchforked into the House of Lords by the title of Lord Segrave ? Why does he not sit there as Earl of Berkeley. We are far from being desirOus to insult, as the paltry author of this book does, the character of woman ; but when matters are recorded in solemn judgment, there can be no indeli cacy in stating that Mr. Grantley Berkeley's mother lived with his father as his mistress, and that she had at least one child before she could induce the old and very stupid Lord to marry her." " The horridly vulgar and ungrammatical writing of the dedication (to the Countess of Euston) is of no conse quence—it is just as good as the rest of the work. But does the man in writing to the Countess of Euston that she is one whom he hash ever regarded with affection' mean to insinuate that he was ever placed in a position to be able to use, with out t h e most absurd impertinence, the follow ing quotations f rom hi s work That his undisguised friendship trembled on the brink of love'—and that' taking advantage of certain situations is not in human nature to forego.: It is a d ownr i g h t affront.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE CORPORATION OF • LIVERPOOL. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, at the rising of the Court, prayed his Lordship to permit an appeal on a demurrer to the bill in this Court to be heard before the long vacation, if not in the course of the present week. The question was, whether the late Corporation of Liverpool had a right to raise 104,000/. to increase the stipends of the clergy. On the argument before the Master of the Rolls, his Lord ship decided in substance that the Corporation had the power, and the parties had presented a petition of appeal. The reason for wishing it to be heard on an early (lay was, that the Church Commissioners had advertised the Ec clesiastical property in Liverpool for immediate sale, and it became, therefore, a mater of extreme importance to ascertain the final result of the suit respecting this 101,000/. before the arrangements connected with that sale were concluded. The Loan CHANCELLOR was willing to hear the appeal before the Court rose for the long vacation ; but as the ar gument would probably be a tedious one, he could not al low it to interfere with the regular business of the Court. Every day of the remainder of the sitting would be fully occupied ; but he would take it afterwards, if the parties wished, and Counsel were content. VICE-CHANCERY-WEDNESDAY. SPENCER V. THE BIRMINGHAM RAILROAD COMPANY. Mr. WIGRAM opened a demurrer in this case. The bill prayed that,the Company should he restrained from cutting through the end of Granby-street, leading into Hampstead! road, and thus obstructing the direct access from Hemp stead-road to Granby-mews, which opened into Granby street. The plaintiff (Spencer) was yearly tenant of a coachhouse and stable in Granby-mews to a person named Ward, who was the lessee for a term of years. The bill stated that the only direct communication between the mews and Hampstead-road was through Granby-street ; and that in June last the Company cut completely through the street, without providing any other convenient passage from the mews, as they were hound to do under the Act by which they were incorporated. The demurrer was sup ported on the ground that this was, in fact, a complaint of a public nuisance. Mr. KNIGHT. supported the bill. The Learned Coun sel put his case not on the general damage and nuisance to all the King's subjects by the stoppage of this way, but upon the special injury to his clients, who were debarred of a safe approach to their property. The Company, it ap peared, had opened the excavation without making any pre parations for the convenience of the neighbourhood, and without even giving notice of their intention to excavate in the highway. The consequence was the carriages and horses of the plaintiff had already, to their very great in jury, been precipitated into the pit. In the late case of the statute of George 111., such an objection as the present, although equally applicable, was never taken either in this Court or before the Lord Chancellor. But the Learned Counsel put this case on stronger grounds, that the private right to support the Bill was given by the Act of Parlia ment constituting the Company. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said the only question was, whether the bill was not so framed as that some relief might be granted. He did not think that to the inhabitants of Granby -mews had been done a kind of mischief distinct from that of which the King's subjects in general might complain. He thought there was in this case such a special mischief done to the inhabitants as entitled them to come to the Court for relief. He must overrule the demurrer. SUMMER ASSIZES. NORFOLK C'IRCUIT.—Bunr, AUGUST 2. .Tohn Sorjeant was indicted on three counts, charging him with wounding one John Syer, with intent to kill, to maim, and to disfigure, and to do him some bodily injury. There was also a fourth count, containing the real offence of the prisoner, and stating the intent to be " to prevent his lawful arrest by the said John Syer, then and there being armed with lawful authority to arrest him, the said John Sergeant, by reason of his having been found unlaw fully by night in a certain place called " Hall Plantation," for the purpose of destroying game, he, the said John Syer, being then and there engaged in assisting one Flavell Syer, the gamekeeper of S. Mure, Esq." The Jury returned a vordict of Not Guilty.

Beans. Pease. NATHAN MAYER ROTHSCHILD. (From a Correspondent of the Times.) The death of this gentleman, which was made known yesterday morning, is one of the most important events for the City, and perhaps for Europe, which has occurred for a very long time. His financial transactions have cer tainly pervaded the whole of the continent, and may be said for years past to have exercised more or less influence on money business of every description. No operations on an equally large scale have existed in Europe previous to his time, for they were not confined to his own capital and resources, which are well known to have been immense, but were carried on in conjunction with his brothers in Paris, Frankfort, Vienna, and Naples, all of whom pos sess colossal fortunes of their own. Besides this essential co-operation, he had agencies in almost every city either io the old or the new world, all of which, under his directions, conducted extensive business of various kinds. He had also, as well as his brothers, hosts of minor dependent ca pitalists, who participated in his loans and other exten sive public engagements, who placed implicit confidence in the family, and were ready at all times to embark with them in any operation that was proposed. Nothing, therefore, was too great or extended, provided the project was a reasonable one, for him to undertake. Within the last 15 years, the period during which his character for sa .„cracity may be said to have been fully established, there has been, in fact, no limit to his means, taking the indirect as well as the direct means into account. MI the brothers of Mr. Rothschild are men of great capacity and knowledge of business, but it is generally admitted that they deferred to his judgment in all their undertakings, and that he was the movin g principle of the great mass of capital they repre sented. Mr. Rothschild may be said to have been the first introducer of foreign loans into this country ; for, though such securities did at all times circulate here, the payment of the dividends abroad, which was the universal practice before his time, made them too inconvenient an in vestment for the great majority of persons of property to deal with. He not only formed arrangements for the pay ment of the dividends on his foreign loans in London, but made them still more attractive by fixing the rate in sterling money, and doing away with all the effects of fluctuation in exchanges. All these operations were attended with a most remarkable degree of good fortune ; fur though many of the countries which made loan contracts in this country became bankrupt, not one of those with whom Mr. Roths child entered into contracts ever failed in their enmage ments. For this he was indebted occasionally as much to his own good management afterwards as for his judgment in the original selection. If the dividends were not ready at the time appointed, which was the case in some few in stances, his resources always enabled him to make the re qtfsite advances, while his influence and perseverance after wards uniformly enabled him to recover the money which had been advanced. Whatever may be said, therefore, of the ruinous effect of foreign loans, cannot with any justice be charged on Mr. Rothschild : on the contrary, they have proved to be the source of great national profit, as nearly all the stocks of the continental Powers originally created here have passed over for investment into the countries for which they were raised at an advance of 20 or 30 percent., or more, on the contract price. Besides his loan contracts, Mr. Rothschild was a purchaser and a large dealer,iii all the pre-existing European Government securities. .Stock of any description, however unmarket able elsewhere, could always be bought or sold at his counting-house, and at fair prices. Besides his contracts with foreign Governments for loans in money, he entered into numerous others, for conversion into stocks, bearing a lower rate of interest, and had various projects for further reduction under consideration at the time of his death, which he probably was alone able to carry through, and which will therefore fall with him. Mr. Rothschild's loan contracts were not uniformly suc cessful in the first instance. He was exposed to several very severe reverses, which would have proved fatal to houses of inferior means. One of these was Lord Bexley's loan or funding of Exchequer Bills in a 3. per cent. stock, the first of that denomination introduced into the English market, and by which alone he is said to have lost 500,0001. At the time of the Spanish invasion by France, in 1823, he was largely engaged in the French loans of that period, by which he was placed in great jeopardy, but his resources enabling him to hold the stock, he came off ul timately without loss. The same cause shook violently the contracts with other European States then in progress in this market, and the stock of Naples in particular under went so severe a depression that most of the subscribers, after the deposit, refused to go on with the instalments. The London house was left, in consequence, to bear the whole weight of that contract. Another event by which he was exposed to great danger was the project of M. de Vil lele for the conversion of the Rentes. Fortunately for him, the measure was lost by a single vote in the Chamber of Peers ; but had it been carried, the convulsion in the mo ney-markets in Europe which shortly followed it would pro bably have proved fatal to him with such a burden on his shoulders, notwithstanding all his vast resources. Indeed, it was a common remark of his own at the time, that nei ther he nor the houses engaged in the undertaking with him could have stood the shock. Another most perilous contract for Mr. Rothschild was the 4 per Cent. French loan made with M. de Polignac, just previous to the " three days," and which fell afterwards 20 or 30 per cent. or more. In fact the stock was for some time in such bad odour, that no purchasers could be found for it. This conttact was more detrimental in propor tion to his subscribers than to himself, as the greater part of it was distributed among them, and it was at the time a matter of severe reproach against him that he did on this occasion leave his friends completely in the lurch. But this was answered by the remark that he had always been in the practice of dealing liberally with his subscri bers in sharing his contracts among them, and that the re volution which followed aad made this so ruinous an opera tion, was one that could not possibly have been foreseen by him. Since that period he has been in a constant course of successful operations, with the exception perhaps of that in Portuguese stock, which, however, was to him of very small amount and consideration. Mr. Rothchild's great success in loan operations made it a matter almost of rivalry with all those States who wanted to borrow money to obtain his co-operation. He uniformly refused, however, to enter into any such contracts for Spain or the American States, previously the colonies of Spain. He contrived literally to steer clear of all the bad bargains which were made during the fifteen years, which may be called the zenith of his career as a banker and a financial merchant. Mr. Rothschild also avoided with great care the nume rous joint-stock companies which had their rise and fall in his time. He might be said, however, to take the lead in their formation, by the introduction of the Alliance Insu rance Company, which took place in 1824, just before the ge neral mania, and which was peculiarly successful ; with that exception, we are not aware of any in which he had been directly engaged. Mr. Rothschild's operations in bullion and foreign ex.; changes have been on a scale probably little inferior to his loan contracts, and, devolving wholly upon himself and the family circle of his transactions of a similar kind, have .formed, we suspect, a still more important feature in his general scale of profits. They continued at all times and under all circumstances, and were subject to none of those reverses which occurred in his foreign loan contracts. His management of the business in exchanges was one of the most remarkable parts of his character. lie never hesi tated for a moment in fixing the rate, either as a drawer o r a taker, on any part of the world, and his memory was so retentive, that, notwithstanding the immense transactions into which he entered on every foreign post day, and that he never took a note of them, he could dictate the whole on his re turn home with perfect - exactness to his clerks. His libe rality of dealing was another conspicuous feature of these operations, and many merchants whose bills were objected to elsewhere found ready assistance from him, and his judgment was proved by t h e very small amount of loss which he incurred in consequence of such liberality. To this class at any other time his death might have been productive of c onsiderable embarrassment, but as trade is prosperous, and the state of credit good, little inconvenience is a nticipated. This is under the sup position, too, that the business would now cease, but, though no arrangements can of course be yet made, it seems to be expected that it will be continued under the manage ment of his sons, who have been for some time attachedto e ma- the house , and have ac q uired, n otwithstanding their • m ense prospects in point of wealth, the habits ()- f the best - trained commercial men. Mr. Rothschild's death took place on Thursday last, at Frankfort-on -the-Maine, at five o'clock in the a ft ern oon. He was only 59 years of age. His visit t o at made for the purpose of b e i ng the t ge was present of his son, and it is now some weeks since he was first at tacked with the illness which has proved fatal. He was sensible to the l as t. H e had a strong presentiment, it is said, that he should not return alive to this country, but there is an impression abroad , which, if true, is a very that melanch o ly one,better surgical assistance than that which w as to b e found on the spot might have saved him. Mr. raa. ers, it seems, was not sent specially to attend him , no suspi c i on at that time existing of his danger, and when he arrived, which was only two days before his death, all assistance was too late. The rise of Mr. Rothschild's fortune is all within the present century, and it did not make any decided progress till some time after it had commenced. It was not until the breaking out of the war in Spain, in 1808, that his extraordinary means, which were displayed in making the remittances for the English army in that country, were developed to any extent, so as to be known to the mercantile world in general. He came to England in 1800, where he acted as agent for his father in the pur chase of Manchester goods for the Continent. Shortly afterwards, through the agency of his father, for the Elector -- - of Hesse Cassel, anti other German princes, he had holm sums placed at his disposal, which he employed with extra ordinary judgment, and his means went on at a rapid rate of accumulation. His youngest brother, James, then coming to reside in Paris, Mr. Rothschild was induced to dx himself permanently in London, where be has ever. since remained. He was one of ten children, eight Or wliom survive him—four brothers, two older and two younger than himself, and four sisters. He married the daughter of Mr. Cohen, a merchant in London, who is said so little to have ant;eipated the success in life of his future son-in-law that he entertained some doubts,' about the prudence of the match. These doubts were in fused by some raalicious persons long after D,lr. Rothschild had become an accepted suitor, and he was desired in con sequence to produce testimonials as to his worldly means. The whimsical answer was, that whatever number of daugh ters Mr. Cohen possessed, he could not do better, as far as money and good character went, than give them all to Na than Mayer Rothschild. Mr. Rothschild, like the rest of his brothers, held a pa tent of nobility, with the title of Baron, but he never as sumed it, and was more justly proud of that name under which he had acquired a distinction wi , ich no title could convey. Mr. Rothschild, it is said, had n ot, while in Lon don, m a d e any disposition, by will, of his initoense property, but he made a will w h en a t F ra nkfort. His retrains, by his: own direction, are to be brought to London. A steam vcssel left the rive r f or R o tt er d am y es terday for that pur pose,in which his mourning family will also embark. ERECTION OF THE STATUE OF GEORGE TIIE-THfRD-. Yesterday afternoon Mr. iVyatt's Equestrian Statue of George the Third having been raised upon its pedestal, was exposed to public view, in the presence of a considerable concourse of spectators. By previous arrangemcnf, a platform had been erected round its pedestal, and level with it, on two sides, a third side havin g been constructed! as an inclined plane, for the purpose of aiding in the elevation of the work itself. On the platform accommo dation had been prepared for some sixty or seventy persons, with awning to protect them in case of any unfavourable state of the weather. Several of the Committee for the erection of the statue were present, amongst whom Colonel Torrens and Colonel Cast were conspicuous. The statue meantime, was concealed from sight by canvass blinds drawn round its scaffolding. At about three o'clock his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland arrived at the platform, and after having inspected the prepara tions made for the occasion, advanced with the members of the Committee to the front of the statue, from around which the canvass was forthwith withdrawn, and it shone forth in the full brilliancy of its burning brass. Three cheers of salute were immediately given by those who occupied the platform, and they were echoed by the more distant spectators. The horse's head directly faces Pall-mall, but the head of the King is turned towards the right, and his Majesty seems to look with an august benignity even upon the dwelling of those whp wished to have proved him, and in his own Court of Chancery, a nuisance. Could lesc majesM go further ? But what awful retribution is re served for those undutiful subjects in that everlasting look! It is impossible not to feel some pity for the poor indiscreet gentlemen. - When the statue had been thus made ma nifest, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, after having examined it attentively and in detail, retired to the back part of the platform, where Colonel Torrens addressed his Royal Highness in a speech, of which we saw all the gesticulation, but could scarcely gather the import. We understood the Gallant Officer, however, to give his Royal Highness a sort of history of the statue, from the date of its projection to that moment of its happy inauguration, in which there was much, and, we doubt not, highly deserved praise, of the disinterestedness, as well as the spirit and perseverance of the artist to whom it was in debted for existence. _ The Gallapt Colonel also men tioned—and it surely was very severe on his part—how the Messrs. Ransom had resolved the statue to be a nuisance, and had accordingly applied for the luckless injunction, in opposition to which he (Colonel Torrens) had taken upon his conscience to make affidavit that it was not so much of a nuisance as a lamp-post or a pump would have been— either of which sa:d have been its proxy. The Gallant Colonel concludetarith some ardently loyal observations, which drew forth a second round of cheers from the occu pants of the platform. His Royal Highness shortly re plied, and, having complimented Mr. Wyatt, took his de parture. We should say that the arrangements for this ceremonial were not very happily devised, inasmuch as, what with the heavy scaffoldings, the platform, and the awning, it was impossible that the statue could be satisfac torily seen from any point of view. No fair opinion could, therefore, be formed, on this occasion, of its general effect. We doubt not, however, that it will be found to answer to the full the expectations of its projectors and the public. The bright brazen or gilt appearance which it has at pre sent will be preserved by a strong varnish with which it has been coated. The pedestal is plain and light—perhaps a little too light—but of that a day or two will tell. Upon it the following inscription is to appear : TO HIS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY GEORGE THE THIRD, KING OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, AND DEFENDER OF THE FAITH. A Monarch who was the safeguard of Christianity, Without the honours of a Saint; And the Conqueror of half the globe, without the fame of a .Hero: Who reigned amidst the wreck of Empires; yet died in The love of his People ; , •Arben peace was established throughout his wide dominions; When the literature and the commerce of his country Pervaded the world ; When British valour was without a rival, and The British character without a stain. IRISH ASSIZ ES.-(MEATH.) TITIIES.—A REBELLION OFFICER. Patrick 0 ",....1ith, a simple country looking lad, about 18 or 19 years of pine, was put into the dock and arraigned for an aggravated assault L 4.) on Robert Harnett with intent to do him grievous bodily hare.', and in another count for a riot. He was prosecuted by tn.'. Crown, and defended by Mr. Forde. Robert Hamill examined—l was employed on the 11th of January last, to serve tithe supcenas and lattitats the at the suit of the Rev. Archdeacon Pakenham ; I went to lands of Tulganstown at about twelve o'clock in the day, and succeeled in serving a man of the name John Keenan after I effected the service, I observed the people e Meeting on the road-side, also taking a short-cut ac ross the fields and running towards me ; there were fifty or sixty persons collected, and when I saw them I ran for protection to wards a hire that was convenient ; the people foll the man owed me, and when I though t to get into the house, that was in it kept me out with a large three pronged fork ; the people by this time came up, and ordered me to eat the lattitats, or that they would knock my brains out ; I refusedt to eat them ; I said I was not able ; then three or four of them caught hold of me by the heels and dragged me along the road as g ood as twelve or thirteen perches, a 1 was dragged in that way others of them were kickwhilstin g at me ; they dragged me over a bo g -hole, and rammed me down into it ; Idid not go und er the water at first, as ther e wa s pretty strong ice on the hole, but they kept bobbig' my head against it until it broke, then they sunk me under asked me would , I , goiavtethhoutlfi Irsaidst again ;„ I ; they then the water for a while, and took i e m lattitats? another inethenwould, was bu they cricd,out and dip dragged to another hole and flu ' hung in ; swam out, and crept on the banks as well as I could ; then I tore and eat the papers ; I 1 fi n is hedwas greatly injured and much bruized ;when the papers they 1 tthe prisoner was one of mego;oe of the . party ; I am quite sure of it ; he was one of the most active amongst them. Examined by Mr. FoRDE—Are you not an officer under the Court of Exchequer?--I act under the Court as an honest man. Aye, as an honest man, and do you think you arc an honest man ?-1 am. And your father before you was an honest man ?—He was. By virtue of your oath was not your father hanged for highway robbery ?—No—On ray oath he was not. Will you swear that ?—I will. orted transp What happened him then will; was. only for life. Well, then, his sentence was commuted ?—I suppose so. By virtue of your oath, was not your uncle transported for life for burglary and murder ?—No, by virtue of my oath he was not. Come, Sir, how can you swear that is not the fact and it is well known ?—No, you are wrong there ; it was my uncle that was h a nged.—(Laughter.) Oh, yes, that was the mistake. Your uncle it was who was hanged, and your father transported for life ?—Yes, that was it. Don't you think but you are a son worthy of such pa. r entage.—l am. l am telling the truth. Now, I'd like to hear a little more about the family. What happened your brother ; was he not outlawed for gaol break ing ?—I cannot tell that. On your oath, Sir, did he not fly the country, be being charged with murder and robbery ?—Be did quit the country ; but I cannot swear to what he did. Very well, take care you don't follow in the footsteps of your friends.—Oh, never fear, do what's right. This witness was corroborated in some of the principal facts of the case. The defence attempted to be set up by the prisoner was an alibi, which was broken down by the Counsel for the Crown. The Jury brought in a verdict of guilty.
