The report of yesterday left the claimant, who calls himself Sir Richard Hugh Smyth, under cross-examination by Sir Frederick Thesiger. That cross-examination was continued until nearly nine o'clock last night, and was resumed this morning. In the course of this cross-examination, the plaintiff (who had lectured all over the country as Dr. Smith, LL.D., and who said the letters meant a " doctor learned in the law,") said he these elnw words d s w! . i s c r h o h so e spelt.) p e set l u t . p ) spelt the word " whom" " whome," and the words " set aside" " sett asside," and that he had authority for such cross-examined as to a statement he had made in one of his letters, of his having bean a prisoner under the Empe tiwt o nt he s ß oun r cz u hi s h s gae e l i l l a H a s e im speltsp elling.po r t t a h (n e ltn w ptr o ho r e d ads ` e ` oe r rapid" his id s f ' t ' liBt w l2e il h two ror Napoleon.

He was then examined as to his c ., nnection with Bell and Lancaster, and stated that his former evidence, as to those gentlemen travelling on the Continent and giving joint opposition lectures, t,, e N ,, V c a h s incorrect.. other: and s i t:: t supportin g th at o they t e l y i tems of education. His former evidence had been given under a misapprehension as to the questions. Bell and Lancaster lectured it) English while on the Continent ; only the English residents, and a few foreigners who un derstood the English language, went to hear them. Could himself speak French pretty well, and knew some Latin. Learnt Latin, like other boys, while at Warminster. On further cross-examination, as to his having written certain notes, purporting to come from the office of" Thos. 1 Rodham, steward to the estates," and addressed to a per son in charge of the disputed property, claiming it for Sir Richard Smyth, he admitted that the signature of " Henry hard press ed ,had A ssu f m eig e n d • n o. In this notice the word Somerset was spelt" Som. signing the no • tice[This was denied.] The parchments edanthde being writ- He said he had Mr. Rodham's authority for m m i s t s te l r also that was he were spelt " sett asside," as in the plaintiff's " set aside" were letter. The jury also looked at the portrait, and one of them called his lordship's attention to an inscription at the Brown,forTh a o i wait ing. et hinded to the jury who observed that the words back—" Born, 19th May, 1774 ; married, 1796." The plaintiff was next examined as to his alleged inter view with the late Sir John Smyth the day . before he i ed. He said Sir John had admitted his legitimacy, and promised to see him righted. In his cross - examination in chief he had sa id th e 50/. note which Sir John gave him on that occasion was a Bank of England note. He now, on cross-examination, said he had stated, or unthinkingly (I c s h ' 8 he e b a n statedk . her said, that it was in fact one of Miles's Bank. He then denied that he had said it was a Bank of England note, but his lordship referred to his notes, and found that he had so called it. Afterwards he said, if they really must have the truth, he really did not know of what bank it was, but that his impression was that it was one of Itnlheatotttehhre:rrlp3lviohaiinjcethss Majesty y h hh e e a c ic l i a la n pd t r ra oam d t i i c sh te eoc d imt hi eo. himself. Sir Sir Frederick asked the plaintiff if he had written to her Majesty on this subject. The plaintiff said he had ; that the Queen had promised to be his friend, but he could not Frederick then read from a letter written by the plaintiff understand w 3fi h l i to Mr. Gore Langton, on the 12th of February, 1852, in friend, and that he had now proceeded to "redeem " that promise. The plaintiff stated that he had had the honour of delivering a series of lectures on elocution before her Majesty at Kensington Palace, and that her Majesty was so well pleased with his remarks on a subject in which she took a great interest, that she had placed her services at his command at any time. He also stated that it was prior to her Majesty's accession to the throne that he had lectnrad before her. That he bad no doubt he had written to the Queen the same evening. In his further cross-examination to-day, it appeared that he had at one time claimed to be of the family of Lord Carrington. After prevarication, he admitted he had written a letter to Lord Carrington, stating that he was at his wits' ends to provide bread for his children. He denied that he had ever admitted himself to be a member of the family of Provis, the carpenter, when he had repre sented that his mother was confined. Thomas Provis ad not called him his son, and he had never said that it an swered his purpose better to go by the name of Dr. Smith. The plaintiff was cross-examined at considerable length as to a picture, on the back of which an inscription had been made to appear (so plaintiff said) by the application of acids. The inscription was, "Hugh Smyth, Esq., son of Thomas Smyth, Esq., of Stapleton, county of Gloucester, 1796." This picture, it was alleged, was a picture of one of the Provis family, and there were two erasures on the back. [PRicz SD. The witness was then cross-examined as to the seal af fixed to the deeds of 1822 and 1823, and as to a seal which he had ordered of an engraver, named Moring, of Holborn. He deposed that he got the deed in question on the 17th of March last, and not before ; that he then took a " rub bing" of it, and took it to the engraver, whom he intrusted to engrave it. The engraver, however, made a mistake, the motto having been cut, Qui capit capitor, instead of Qui mpg capitur, and he then had another made. He swore he did not see the seal before the 17th March, or the deed. A letter was then put in, written by the plaintiff to a Rev. Mr. Bennett, of Ballinadee, Ireland, in which he said he had . a. certificate of his 'mother's marriage, at Lismore, with the signature of the Rev. Dr. Lovett to it, but that he wished to verify the signature, and asked Dir. Bennett to obtain for him some document with the signature of Dr. Lovett, telling him that he was about to come in for some large estates, on which there were eight livings, all held by old men, and promising him to give him one of them, if he complied with his rermest. This letter, it appeared, had the desired effect, for the Rev. Mr. Bennett sent the plaintiff two testimonials to cha racter, written by Dr. Lovett, and it was inferred that from these the plaintiff had forged the signature of 1)r. Lovett to the entry in the Bible. He did not deny that the letter to the Rev. Mr. Bennett, which was produced in court, was his. This letter was dated the 13th of March, and was sealed with the Smyth seal ; and, on the plaintiff being asked how it was that it was so sealed, when he only obtained the impression from the deed on the 17th, and had to get it engraved afterwards, he turned pale. and requested per mission to leave the court to recover himself. Sir F. Thesiger, however, objected ; and at that moment a telegraphic message arrived from London, stating that the police had discovered that the plaintiff had applied' to - an engraver, at 361, Oxford-street, in January last, to en grave the Bandon crest on the ring, which had been pro duced as a relic, and the words "F. Gooking " on the brooch, which he had sworn he had in his possession as another family relic for years. Upon this a dramatic scene occurred. The plaintiff admitted that this was true, and Sir F. Thesiger sat down deeply moved. The Court was hushed in silence. After this Sir F. Thesiger rose again, and said he should ; .. not spare his feelings longer. He then elicited that at the time he (plaintiff) had sworn he was ill (for 18 months, in ( 1811), the plaintiff had been lying in Ilchester (Somerset) Gaol under sentence for horse-stealing. He had been sen- ' tomcod to death, but the sentence was commuted. Tho plaintiff was then ordered into custody on a charge , of forgery and perjury, Mr. Bovill having thrown up his brief, and expressed his regret at ever having had anything to do with the case. Sir F. Thesiger said he had no doubt that Mr. Shadwell and Mr. Catlin (the attorney) had been both grossly im posed upon. The plaintiff was then removed in custody to Gloucester gaol.

This case, which, as previously annoinced, was opened on Tuesday, is now in a state to justify a report. This was au action of ejectment, brought to recover pos session of certain estates iu this county formerly the pro perty of Sir Hugh Smyth, Bart , of, Ashton-hall, near '3ristol. The plaintiff' claims to be the6on and heir of the 'ate Sir Hugh Smyth, who died in the year 1824. Sir Hugh Smyth was known to have been twice married, but had no issue by either marriage. The pkiutiff claimed to be the sbn of Sir Hugh Smyth by a third and previous marriage, alleged to have• taken place in Ireland, with Jane, the daughter of Count Vanderbergh, in the year 1796. The plaintiff was alleged to have been born at War minster, in the county of Wilts, and inothFr having died in childbirth he was brought up by a woman named Lydia Reid. His birth, for some reason, having been kept countrysecret, he he wweanet not made a aci n e d ua o te n till recently, when, by the disc overy o f cer t a in docu ments, he came to the knowledge th a t L e was e ntitled to a baronetcy and estates, which we re vt,riously estimated to be worth from 20,000/ •to 35 ,0001. a year. The defend tehdis with oituhring pedigree to this digree ant is the grandson of Sir Hugh Smyth's sister Florence, and is still a minor. On the death of Sir Hugh Smyth, in the year 1824, the property went to his brother Sir John Smyth, and upon his death in 1849 to his sister Florence. Upon her death the present defendant became entitled. The romantic nature of the plaintiff' s c l a im, and the rumour that it was about to be supported by forged docu ments and perjury, added to the immense amount of the property at stake, have caused this trial to be looked for ward to with the utmost interest. I n t h e fi rs t i ns t a nce, Sir F. Kelly and Mr. Keating, Q.C., were retained for the plaintiff; but for some reason which was not stated, nei ther of these gentlemen appeared. Th.( action was ori ginally intended to be brought on the Western Circuit, but this intention was altered, and this'stircumatance an countslor theldet that several gentleniewbtthe-Western Circuit have been specially retained. Mr. Bovill, in opening the case to the jury, proceeded at great length to enumerate all the circumstances of this romantic case as it would be disclosed !ia evidence. On the death of Sir Hugh Smyth the estates vent to his brother, Sir John Smyth, who died in the yearlB49, in consequence of an interview which the plaintiff had with him, the plain tiff in that year had come to the knowledge of his rights, and went to Sir John, and asserted his relationship to the deceased Sir Hugh Smyth ; and such was the effect pro duced upon Sir John Smyth by this intelligence, that he became unable to eat, wandered about the house disconso late, and died suddenly the next morning. For some time the plaintiff, for want of funds, was unable to assert his title to the property, but he was now enabled to come into court to establish his right. The learned counsel said he should establish beyond all doubt that the plaintiff was the son of Sir Hugh Smyth, by Jane, the daughter of Count Vanderbergh, to whom he was married in Ireland in the year 1796. At that time there were no public registers in Ireland, but the entry of this marriage in a family Bible would be proved, and the signatures of the witnesses would be shown to be the undoubted signatures of the parties. The plaintiff would produce a brooch with the name of Jane Gookin upon it, and also a portrait of his own mother, and the signatures of all these parties would be proved by the most unexceptionable evidence. The learned counsel then read the following entry of the liaintiff's bap tism, which was contained in the same family Bible : " Divide about the broad brit! , cake, Boon. , abou the bride's stake."-IW4 JorisoN WEDDING BREAKFAST, BALL Sur and DINNERS Pit VII /ED ENTIRE in town or country, by rie , srs.

BYRES, clerk, " ISABELLA THYNNE." The reason why the plaintiff's birth wars kept a secret was that his mother died in childbirth, and Sir Hugh Smyth was anxious to marry Miss Wilson, the daughter of the Bishop of Bristol. The plaintiff was then brought up in the house of a carpenter at Warminster, named Povis, which had given rise to the rumour which hat been spread abroad, that the plaintiff was an imposter, and was Provis's eon. It would be proved, however, that he was educated at Winchester, and, it was believed, at the expense of Sir Hugh Smyth. In the year 1814, a man, named Grace, who was gir Hugh's butler, represented to Sir Hugh that his son, who had gone abroad, was dead.

" To Mrs. Smyth, Warminster. HUGH SMYTH." Sir Hugh was married again in the year 1819 to a Miss Howell, and circumstances having convinced Sir Hugh the t the plaintiff was still alive, he, in the year 1822, executed a document, declaring the plaintiff to be his son. This document was discovered in the possession of a mem ber of the family of Lydia Reed, the plaintiff's nurse. It was signed by Sir Hugh Smyth, the deceased baronet, in a trembling hand, and by Sir John Smyth, his brother, and other persons as witnesses. All these signa tures would be proved to be genuine. That document was signed by the deceased baronet, and would be shown to have been sealed with his family 'seal. In the follow ing year Sir Hugh, who would appear to have re covered in health, executed another similar document. That document also would be proved to have been signed by the parties, and it was discovered in the possession of an attorney's clerk in London, who had formerly lived at Bristol. The plaintiff had gone abroad, in the year 1814, with a Mr. Knox, commonly called Lord Knox, and there gave himself up to various studies, and particularly to that of the science of mnemonics, till his return to England in the year 1826. At that time he devoted himself to lec turing in various parts of England, and, though he sus pected he was the son of Sir Hugh Smyth, he took no steps to assert his rights till the year 1849, when he went to Sir John Smyth, his uncle, who admitted his relationship at that interview, which led to Sir John Smyth's death the same night. From that time the plaintiff had used every effort to vindicate his rights, and those facts and documents had been discovered which would leave no doubt on the minds of the jury that he was entitled to the estates which he now sought to recover. The learned counsel then com plained loudly of the intimidation which had been exer cised towards the plaintiffs witnesses by the defendants' agents to prevent their giving evidence this trial ; but he had full confidence that they would come o forward and tell the truth, and so establish the plaintiff's case. The main fact in the case would be that Sir Hugh Smyth was married in Ireland to the daughter of Count Vandenburgh , and that the plaintiff was the issue of that marriage. The following witnesses were then called : William Graywocid, a clerk of the Prerogative Court, produced the will of Thomas Smyth, of Stapleton, in the co unty of Gloucester , Esqu ire . It was dated the 18th of May, 1798. The Rev. George Turner Seymour, a clergyman and a magistrate of the county of Somerset, said I have often seen Sir Hugh Smyth's handwriting. I believe this letter to be in the handwriting of Sir Hugh Smyth (the letter from Sir Hugh to his alleged wife). The entry in the say Bible is ex tremely like it. I be lieve it is his. I canno t whether this signature (to t he deed of th e 27 th of January, 1822) is Sir Hugh Smyth's or not. I doubt it because of the tre mulous character of the writing. Otherwise the characters are something like. (The document of the 10th of Septem ber, 1823, was put into witness's hand.) I believe this signat u re to be in Sir Hugh Smyth's handwriting. I k new Mr. Symes. He was curate of Ashwick. I have seen his handwriting. I cannot say whether the signature in the Bible is hi:handwriting. Cross-examined by Sir F. Thesiger—l merely knew Sir Hugh Smyth by sight. I have seen his handwriting in a corresporcience which he hail with my father. I copied that in the year 180 G. I have not compared it with this hand writing with a view to giving evidence. I have not seen that correspondence since 1805. Those were the only oppor tunities I have had of seeing the handwriting of Sir Hugh Smyth—viz., in 1806, and this letter and note. David Pearce Maurice examined by Mr Dowdeswell—l am a surgeon at Marlborough. In 1822 and 1823 I, with my father, attended Sir Hugh Smyth. He was ill. Sir Hugh Smyth was thought to be a nervous patient, and generally an invalid. His was an imaginary illness—he was always fancying himself ill. It was not an illness which would produce tremulousness of hand. He fancied himself ill, and would perhaps be out hunting next day. I was very much annoyed when he went away—he was such a good patient. I cannot say he was not regular in his living. lam not sure he did not take sedatives. He did not suffer from delirirint tremens. He took astringents. He died from diabetes. That would make him feel weak. Mr. Holland Kingston—l reside at Bandon, in Ireland. I was acquainted with the Rev. Verney Lovett from my infancy. I was acquainted with his handwriting. I be lieve the whole certificate of marriage to be in his hand writing. Has been, and still is, usual in Ireland to bap tize in private houses. I can't say as to marrying. Court Macsherry is seven miles from Bandon. As soon as I saw Mr. Lovett's handwriting I recognised it. I am certain it is his. The Hon. Captain William Smyth Bernard—l knew the Rev. Verney Lovett. I did not know his handwriting. My grandmother, Mrs. James Bernard, was named Hea ther. Before her marriage she was Hesther Gookin. Her maiden name was Smyth, spelt with " y." The Smyths lived at Headborough, in Waterford. There was an aunt of mine, Mary Smyth, who lived at Castle Bernard, the seat of the Bandon family. My aunt was called Molly Smyth They lived in Royal-crescent, Bath. Cross-examined by Sir F. Thesiger—The name of Smyth is very common in Ireland. Very few are spelt with " i." Our family is not related to the Smyths of Ashton Court. My mother was the first Lady Bandon. Her maiden name was Catherine Henrietta. She signed her name C. H. Bandon. She became Lady Bandon in 1792. In 1796 she became Viscountess Bandon. My grandmother was Hes ther, widow of Major Gookin. I can't recollect the Gookins at Court Macsherry. I never heard of Major Gookin having a daughter. I never heard of the name of Vandenberg in connexion with the Goolsins. I never heard of the name of Vandenburg till now. I have lived in the neighbourhood a ' (rood deal since I was a child. I entered the army n 1809. As long as I can recollect , Court Macsherryhoui belonged to Lord Shannon. Previous to that the agent, Mr. H. Townsend, lived the re. I saw some entries with Mr. Catlin. I did not pay much attention.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, accom pealed by the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, was present at the field-day which took place yesterday, the troops being again under the command of the Duke of Cambridge. A novelty iu the proceedings of the day consisted in the enemy being supplied with two pieces 1)f artillery, which worked with the small force during the day, and gave additional effect to the proceedings. The camp forces were formed with their right resting on the open space opposite Higham-lodge, the present residence of Lord Seaton ; the enemy occu pied some heights in the immediate vicinity, having the camp in his rear. The whole of the forces were actively employed in driving the enemy from his position, and having compelled him to seek shelter in the redoubt partially blown up on Saturday last, at length drove him from it by the advances of the infantry. The attack on the enemy was commenced by the skir mishers of England's brigade, followed up by the advance of the brigade, who drove in the enemy's right, and com pelled him to take ground to the lett. Passing over the hill, and having reached the open ground, the enemy were vigorously attacked by the cavalry. The first charge was made by the Scots Greys and Bth Hussars in excellent style, and after this line had retired by threes from the right of squadrons, the Blues and 4th Light Dragoons made the second charge, the enemy receiving the charges in squares. After the enemy had retired, and taken up a position on the slope of a hill, the 35th and 88th with loud shouts and fixed bayonets charged the foe, and drove him still further to wards the redoubt. As he was retiring how ever the enemy was harassed by the Light Dragoons, tills portion of the body took possession of the redoubt from the rear of which, supported by the artillery, a con tinuous fire was kept up on the advancing infantry. The Scots Greys made a splendid advance up to the very edge of the ditch, and dispersed a detachment of the enemy's right, who, not expecting so bold an attack, had neglected the precaution of forming square to re ceive the c avalry. England's brigade now advanced, preceded by skirmishers, and, in spite of the enemy's fire, succeeded in forming in line within range of the left flank of the redoubt, and compelling the enemy's right to fall back higher up the hill. The brigade of Guards next advanced in line, threatening the rear of the reboubt, while the Highlanders first forming line, and de livering several splendid volleys, charged up the hill and drove the enemy from the redoubt. This charge of the 79th was made in most admirable style, and the steady and unbroken line which they presented was the subject of universal admiration. If there is one achieve l .: ment upon which this gallant regiment justly prides itself, it is that which occurred in the Peninsular war, when the 42d being compelled to retire from a re doubt which they had taken from the enemy, these gal lant Highlanders, advancing at the charge, retook it, and maintained their position in the face of a tre mendous fire, and the attack on the redoubt yester day forcibly reminded the regiment of the achieve ment to which we have alluded. The Guards and England's brigade advancing, supported by the field the t troopsnd b then rough n the aro h fi e e d l d past- day t t o h e a D c o o s e e h . e The h o e f batteries, rendered f ur the r opp os iti on use l ess on th e part of the enemy , e y a Kent and the other visitors, and returned to their re spective camps. A number of breast and other earth works have been thrown up in different parts of the field, the defence and capture of which will, it is expected, form the occupation of the troops on the field-days of to-morrow and Saturday. It is confidently stated that the camp will break up after the last field day, which will take place on Thurs day next. The two following days, the 19th and 20th, , will be occupied by the removal of the-troops. ford - Stoke-on-Mendip and Norton. I have often seen him write. I see "J. Symes" in the register of baptism. That is my father's handwriting. He sometimes baptised chil dren privately. He knew the Marchioness of Bath. This witness was subjected to a long examination with respect to his having been a pauper in a union at the time when he was sought to give evidence in this case. Ann Symes was called and deposed that the signature to the baptismal register was in the handwriting of the Rev. James Symes, her grandfather. The Hon. Caroline Courtenay Boyle, daughter of the late Admiral Boyle, said the late Marchioness of Bath was my father's first cousin. The words " Isabella Thyne" in the. entry in the Bible are in her handwriting. I cannot say I ever saw her write. solicitor at Warminster. I left him, and never saw him more. I brought the Bible and the jewellery to Bristol without looking at them, having first taken the papers to Mr. Philpa. brought the Bible and jewellery to Bristol, and left them there at my lodgings at Mrs. Haddocks'. I had two lodgings there ; the other was at Mr. Chadwick's. The Bible and jewellery lie there on the table. The por trait is that of my mother. (The jewellery and portrait were here handed to the jury, and scrutinised by them for some time. The jewellery were a wedding ring and three others. One had a seal with a crest of the Bandon family, and another had the initials J. B. nearly worn out; the fourth ring had the initials J. G., and there was a hair brooch.) The initials J. G. stand for Jane Gooking, my grandmother, and J. B. for James Bernard, my grand father. I first saw those entries in the Bible after our first visit to Ireland. I went there last Christmas. After I left the Bible and jewellery at Mrs. Maddoek's I was de livering lectures. Every year after 1838 I made inquiries of my family on coming to Bristol, and obtained no infor mation, except the usual one given to me in answer to the questions, " How is Sir John ? Is he married? Has he any family." " No." "Then there may be a chance for my family." I had no idea that it was my father's bro ther that was in possession. I thought it was my f ather's son. I wen t to see Sir John in 1849—May the 19th, a Friday —at Ashton Court. Went alone. Saw Sir John himself and Mrs. Way, his younger sister Mary. They were going into the court at the time. They had just come from Heath-house. He seemed annoyed at riff in trusion, and I said, " I want to see Sir John." He ds' sired me to go away, and write, but afterwards he took me into the small library, or dining room. I rather suppose he felt conscious who it was. We sat down together. I told him as much as I could remember of my past life. He appeared excessively agitated, and in so dreadful a state that it was painful to behold I had never seen him be fore. To calm him I merely said I was not come to take his title or his property, but merely wanted a provision for my family in a suitable manner, and security after his death. He used this remarkable expression— one he was always accustomed to—" You are, indeed, the son of my beloved brother." There are expressions which people always use, from habit or other cause. After considerable discussion, it was arranged that I should go to Chester for my family, bring them home to Ashton Court, and he would stay at Heath-house, his usual residence. He gave me ail the money he had, a 501. note of the Bank of Eng land, and said he would give me a draft on his private bank to-morrow for more if I required it. I only regret I did not take it. A circumstance of a singular nature oc curred. I heard a noise as of somebody listening, and mentioned it to Sir John, and he said, "Tut, tut, non sense." Nothing else of any moment occurred. I came away as early as possible. I changed the note at Miles's Bank, and endorsed on the back, "Received from Sir John Smyth, R.N.S," at the request of the young man at the bank. On my return with my family in twelve days, I called on Mr. Fenton, and then for the first time learned that my uncle was dead. Mr. Fenton said, " Sir, you are too late ; your uncle, if he be so, was found dead in his bed the nex morning." I made no further remark, being too much confounded at the extraordinary circumstance. I took no steps about my claim. The first time I took any steps was on my first visit to Taunton, in March, 1851, when I went to an attorney at Wellington—a Mr. Rod ham. I consulted nobody else, except in private. I sel dom cared much about it. I was first introduced to Mr. Catlin—it might be in the midsummer of 1852. He took six months before he would decide as to what he would do. Mr. Cayley Shadwell, of the Chancery bar, the brother of the late Vice-Chancellor, first introduced me to Mr. Catlin. Had two interviews with him before he introduced me to Mr. Catlin. I had one interview with him afterwards. From time to time have seen Mr. Catlin. Before 1 left Bristol I called on several attorneys, and all declined to interfere. I then called on Mr. Stone, the barrister, and related to him everything I now state. Mr. Stone introduced me to three gentlemen—Barron, Costell, and Henderson. They had my case for a time before them, took a great interest in my case, and examined my nurse. Those gentlemen gave it up in consequence of their fathers not agreeing to the expense that would be necessary. They suggested that I should find a middleman—a person who would find 1,0001., 10,0001., or 20,000/. They said no one would do it for less. Mr. Stone gave me a letter to Mr. Shadwell. I had several interviews with attorneys in London—no less than three of the first solicitors in Lon don ; but they wanted to bind me down to be little better than a steward of the property till they were paid. I said I would rather not have the property than submit to such terms. Mr. Catlin then undertook it. One man went so far as to offer to strike me. One who was about to be married offered to sell all his property and take up my case, if I would agree to those terms. I assumed the title of baronet immediately after I saw Mr. Stone, when I made up my mind to pursue it with vigour. Circum stances drove me to it. I assumed the arms, issued my cards, fairly and honourably, supposing that those who had the property would, if they thought I had no right, prosecute me, and I should be the defendant. The title deed (the deed of 1821) I never had in wy hands till now. I never before had the handling of it. When did you first see or hear of that parchment (the deed of 1823, the large one) ?—Some time in March last. It came to me by railway. There was a letter enclosed in it. The letter is dated March 7, but I think I did not re ceive it till the 17th. I showed Lewis, the butler, that parchment shortly after I received it, as I wanted to be sure of its genuineness. I sent it up by Mr. Geary, my landlord; to Mr. Catlin, and Mr. Catlin and Mr. Gerry went after the parties. Mr. Geary is a house agent in Bristol. Geary assisted to trace out the witnesses. When did you first hear or know of the parchment of 1822'1--I knew nothing of it till Mr. Catlin mentioned it.. I have on my hands some marks that were inflicted at my birth. (The witness here showed his hauds, and there was a sort of indentation at the back of the right hand be hind the thumb, and the thumb was turned or cocked backwards. The thumb on the left hand was also cocked backwards). Cross-examined by Sir F. Tbesiger—l have a good memory on things that interest me. Have from the early age of three years and a half a perfect recollection of the circumstances that then occurred. While at Lower Court I , saw Sir John once or twice. The witness being pressed as to how often he saw Sir John, or Sir Hugh, said, in a pas sion, "Do not bother me, sir. I cannot say ; it was Sir John, or Sir Hugh. Since the prosecution of my rights I may have mentioned the description of the gentlemen I saw, and so learned that they were Sir John and Sir Hugh." Being further pressed on this point the witness said, " I cannot explain what I mean ; I do not know what I mean on this subject." First heard from the Mar chioness of Bath who was my father. [Witness is here pre sented a letter, and before a question is put, he asks his counsel, " Must I answer the question ?"1 It is a letter written by me. [He is then shown a letter of the 28th of August, 1852, written by Mrs. Florence Smith.] This was written by me. I find in this letter this passage—" My mother came to England to the house of her relative, the Marchioness of Bath, at Long Leat, in 1797, and died the same year." That was a mistake, arising from my inac curate knowledge of the facts. I find this passage also— " I was sent to Winchester, under Dr. Goddard. Re mained there till 18, and spent my holidays with the dow ager marchioness." I did not then know the distinction between the dowager marchioness and the other. It was not the fact that I remained till 18. I only wrote it as a supposition. I supposed I was of that age. In another letter of 20th September, 1852, to Lady Caroline Thynne, the witness wrote that Lady Bath adopted him her protege at Warminster, out of the great regard she had for his mother, and gave him the money left by his mother at her death, and her jewels, and a portrait of his father. In another letter of Sept. 26, 1852, he mentioned that she gave him also an obituary ring, which she made in memo rial of his mother, on the inside of which was engraved, " In memory of Jane, wife of Hugh Smyth, married May, 1796, died February, 1797," " Jno. S. Vandenbergh." Where is that ring ?--It is in the box. The Bible was printed in the year 1706. The entry has Search.

I was present at the marriage of Miss Wilson and Sir Hugh Smyth on the 20th of May, 1797. After the marriage they went to live at Bourton House, then to his father's, and then to Henbury. I married Mr. Grace in the year 1800. He remained as butler to Sir Hugh down to his death, on the 10th of Sep tember, 1821. He had the confidence and esteem of Sir Hugh up to that time ; and that confidence and esteem were continued to myself. My husband was buried at Long Ashton Churchyard, and they sent me home in their carriage. Mr. Grace had no connexion with the Smyth family till 1801. My husband could not have had the care of a child of Sir Hugh Smyth's. I never heard him say anything of any son of Sir Hugh Smyth, except Mr. John Hugh Smyth Piggott, the son of Miss Elizabeth Howell. The plaintiff, Dr. Smyth, many years ago lec tured at the schoolroom. He knew I was Mrs. Grace, but not that I was the widow of Mr. Grace. He never asked me about my husband taking care of him and paying the expenses of his schooling. Mrs. Florence Smyth died on the 15th of July, 1852. The plaintiff told me who he MLR at that time, and I told him I never heard that Sir Hugh ever had more than one son. It was about two months before her death he told me he was Sir Hugh's son. It was a great surprise to me. I had never heard of it before. I never heard of any rascality of which my hus band had been guilty. John Brundey —I live at Clifton.

The second deed is signed by James Abbott. Cross-examined by Mr. Alexander—l went to Sir John Smyth's on the 15th of May, 1825, and left in 1843. I have been doing nothing hardly since. I have had some jobs. I acted as an occasional waiter. I left Sir John be cause he said I didn't suit him. I told him he did not act as a gentleman. My accounts were never wrong. They could not make it out that my accounts were wrong. They wanted to accuse me, but they couldn't prove it. That was two or three months before I left. Robert Stocker said—l was for ten years farm manager to Sir John Smyth. I constantly received communications from Sir John Smyth. I am well acquainted with his handwriting. I believe the name of " John Smyth," on the first deed, is in his handwriting. Mr. Symes—l am a partner in the firm of Masters and Co., of Liverpool. I went to Sir John Smyth, at Staple ton, as butler and valet, at Heath House. In three years I became house steward. If I were shown these deeds out of court I should say this signature to the first deed was in Sir John Smyth's handwriting. Charles Edwards—l am a saddler and harness maker at Winchester. My father was in the same business at Marl borough. I should rather swear this (the name William Edwards) was my brother's handwriting to both deeds, but don't know when he did it. Henry Edwards—l am a brother of the last witness. I know my brother's handwriting. I believe these signatures to the deeds are in his handwriting. Richard Brech—There was a man named William Ed wards, who was a coachman. I have seen him write many times. This is not his writing on the deeds. (Laughter.) lamin my 72d year. That Mr. William Edwards was not a son of the saddler at Marlborough. Louisa Edwards, daughter of the witness Henry Ed wards, deposed that the signature in the smaller deed was in the handwriting of her uncle William. Eliza Edwards deposed, that she believed the signature of William Edwards, who was her brother, to be genuine. Mrs. Ann Clipold deposed that she believed the signa ture of William Dobson to be genuine. Mrs. Honor Dobson, widow of Mr. Dobson;- was clearly of another opinion. Tho seal which it was professed contained the motto of the Smyth family, " Qui Capit Capitur," was produced. ' The motto on the seal was " Qui Capit Capitur," an "o" being substituted for the "n." The other deed had the seal broken, and the learned counsel was afraid that a simi lar accident might happen to the second deed. His lordship examined the seal, and smiled. The court then adjourned. The trial of this cause was resumed on Tuesday, at half past nine. John Byfield, examined by Mr. Dowdeswell-- -I know William Dobson's handwritinz. I believe this to be very like his handwriting (the small deed). I could not swear to it. The signature in the large deed is like his, but as the word "Dobbson" has two " b's" I should say it is not his, otherwise, I should say it was his. He generally signed " W.," without the " m." The examination of J. W. Chadwick, a solicitor at Long Ashton, was, after a long discussion, put in and read. He was proved to be too aged and ill to attend the assizes. He said he knew James Abbott was steward of Sir Hugh Smyth. He proved the handwriting of James Abbott, one of the attesting witnesses to the two deeds. He had com pared the handwriting with some receipts in his possession, and he described the particular reasons which made him believe the signature was genuine. He never knew Sir Hugh Smyth had any son except John Smyth Piggott. James Smith—l am occupier of Minington farm. I have lived there altogether nearly sixty years. I knew James Abbott. steward to Sir Hugh, and afterwards to Sir John. My father paid rent to Abbott, and I have got the receipts. The signature to both the deeds I believe to be Abbott's handwriting, according to the receipts. Mr. Justice Coleridze reprimanded the witness for shuf fling in the witness box, and said he had a great mind to commit him. The entry of the marriage in the Bible was then put in and read. It was at the end, between the index and the metrical version of the Psalms. The book contained the Bible and Prayer-book. On the title page was written the following name : PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.

She has a bowsprit and jibboorn which enable her to spread a vast extent of canvass.
