Ashs pisoner saw them so catered. Witness *elm
thought they were doing wrong in entering the temitr
tures in that form, and prisoner replied that witness
was to do as he was told. Remembered that on one
, °torsion when witness was entering in the general
summary, prisoner was in a pet, and tore out two of
the leaves. He desired witneSß to copy the entries on
another sheet, and put it in, and witness did so. In
the generalfiummary the sum total of the remittances
war entered. It included the sums paid into the with.
drawing amount. Remembered that in 1856 tbere was
;an arrear of rent due from Mr. Targett. Wu present
,at one of the audits when be come to pay bin
rent. Heard the father aad ion asking prisoner
to forgive them the arrears, and he said he
would speak to Lord Shaftesbury about it. That was

from time to tine» the midi» lame on, and in 1856
remembered having orders from the prisouer to draft the
amounts, end make an entry that Lord Shaftesbury had
forgiven the arrears. In pursumme of tbose directions
witness made the entry in two books. Afterwards the
penoner told Targett that the arrears were to be paid.
He said they must pey as Lord Shaftesbury would not
exinia these. That conversation Was after the Mit».
Was present when the En 13. 7d. was paid. in 1867.
' The boob now produced/ma what is called the none»

Next:morning Wanes* took some money to the bank.
The amount of tithes that year was about £4OO or
£500,, The proper course would bare been to have
remitted to Messrs. Hoare at ones. Witness had
received moneys from time to time and had paid them
over immediately to Mr. Waters and he examined the
1 books. The prisoner Waters lived in a house that was
allowed him by Lord Shafteabery. He kept • dogeart
and two fourwheeled carriages. He had four or line

beep a mistake in the accounts of £lO. The
J reeelvid of Target had been entered in the each.
book as £l7l. The mistake arose from the fact that
the statement was made up before the money was
-actintHy received. The prisoner had never ordered
1 witness to make any false entries.
By Mr. Ode: The prisoner examined the books and
made no remark. When witness was preparing
the 1857 book prisoner told him not to enter
Targett'a arrears as they had been forgiven.
Mr. Cole then said that this was as far as be could go
that day. There were other charges of a serious nature
which he should have to go into. He bed Mr. Bidwell
present, blit he did not propose to call that gentleman
now, began» be should have to recall him when the
other charges were goes tido. Under these circum-
stances, therefore, he asked' the Bench to remand the
prisoner. _. . .....

Mr. Malmoth : When a prisoner is In ousted, he can

After a short discussion it was agreed to adjourn the
