Interesting points of the cross-examination was that in
via& the claimant alluded to his meeting with Mrs.
Radcliffe. the Hate Doughty of former years.
Clamant: On the Bth of !Larch I bed in interview
with gr. and Mrs. Radcliffe and Mrs. Townley. This
was the first time I saw him.
Did you go up to Mrs. Radcliffe and tell her Lucy
Townley I—No.
Nor Mrs. Townley I—No.
Did you call her Looy, and ask after Mr. Townley?
—No. •
Did you addrees Mrs. Radcliffe as Mrs. Townley ?
No. 1 can't tell whether Mrs. Radcliffe had on •
spotted veil. lam sure she did not lift it op for use to
see her featured. Mr. Ruh:Ulla aid not say after some
time had passed, "Are you sure you are addressing
your cousins by their right names ?"
Da you look at length, after what Mr. Radcliffe hid
said, and say " You must be Mrs. Townley, because
you are the eldest ?"
Did Mr. Redoliffe say, "Then you don't maculae
your °easier then ?" &Di did you answer "Well, they
don't recollect me either, we are all so altered ?"—Oor-
tainty not.—Mn. Radcliffe did not ask me what pawed
In early timer, and I did not at last say to her, "The
feet is I can't recolleot anything."
Did you tell Mrs. Radcliffe you were so thin when you
wore married that your wife could carry you on her
back I—No ; bat I have told other people so linos.
Will you tell me whet really did wear I—With plea-
sure. I was sitting In the front drawing •room with my
mother, when a oat drove up to the front, awl a lady
and gentlemen passed into the room, and announced
themselves as Mr. and Mrs. Radcliffe. My mother was
mitering the room with me, when Mr. Radcliffe, in the
redact powdble manner, slammed the door in her
fees, and sad, "You are not wanted hers." That put
main such • state that! hardly knew whet to do. It
had been reported about that I had refused to see
people, end I did not want to send them away. I
therefore decided to remain. The lady came up to me,
and said "How do you dot She was very deeply
wried, and, after a few minutes I found to my
great surprise that it was not Mrs. Radcliffe at
all. but Mrs. Townley, I turned to Mr. Radcliffe,
and asked him what he meant by tett
me it was Mrs. Redoliffe. He said, "Oh, We,
cUffe, is outside In • cab." He went out and brought
her In. My staying there, even for • few minutes,
sensed unpleeseutnew with my mother for sonic time.
It is not true that the two ladies owns in together.
Did it not owns to you that Lady Tiohborne was
not the best person to be present at the interview?—
Does it occur to you that I should: stay and hear my
mother Insulted in her own house by • fellow like
that?
Answer my question ; did it occur to youl—No, it
did not. I never told Mr. Radcliffe I had some a the
tailors a the wrecked ship. I did refuse to tell him
of my adventures in South America, bemuse of his
conduct. But I did not tell him that my lawyers had
advised Inc to keep silence.
Did not Mr. Radcliffe say anything more I—He said,
when he brought in Mrs. Townley, "Here is your °cousin,
and you and she know each other, and can talk over old
times together.' I said," What has occurred between
her and me in old times is sacred, and you wiU know
nothing about it"—(laughtar). They shook hands on
leaving, and they promised to see me again. I did not
tell Mr. Radcliffe to tell Korey I had the Uttle black
crucifix she gave me. It did not happen to be bleak ;it
IRS white; bet I said nothing of that to Mr. Radcliffe.
I did not go to my uncle or other relatives, because I
was told not to do so by my mother, who strictly en-
joined me not to see any of my relatives. One of the
reasons for this was that there were the strongest pre
panacea made to oppose me. Even Yr. Higgs..

The SolicltorGeneral—l wish all the people who
laugh with you knew that in laughiue in that way they
are throwing an imputation upon an honourable men.
Whams said—How was! to know what would be
done? Detectives were in every hones I entered. Even
private conversations with my mother were taken down.
If I had one cup of tea instead of two, or three glasses
of brandy instead of four, it was known—(laughter.)
What was I to think of • man who brought down •
mae like William Radon, dressed up, and in a Int
claw carriage?
The Solioitor-Ovieral—He did not.

In feutheroroseesamlnation, wilasessaid Mr. Holmes
