In cross examination by Mr. Reneely, witness was asked it
she had not had a great dial of conversation with her hus-
band about the tattooing. and she said, No, not parridularly ;
not more than once. Rdger had not been in her company
more th. five minutes before she raw the marks. The
gesture he mate was while speaking. he made • movement
with his arm, throwing out his hand, and she saw tho k4na
marks just above the wrist She was sure, she said, that the
marks were separate and distinct, one alone the other
(whereas her husband rather mode them all parts of one
mark, the heart and anchor being within the cross.) B. Inn
shown the sketch of it drawn by her husband, and asked if
It wu like, she said " No, no." She was preyed a good deal
as to conversation with ot• Cr witnesses as to the marks, but
this she denied. She admitted, however, that Mr. and Mrs.
Radcliffe had come to see her in Paris ; but she did not recol
lect that they spoke about Liter cr the Claimant. Roger
was not knock-kneed; his hanos and rimers were long and
delicate, not fat. Ile was of middling height, and well pro-
portioned, hut rather thin. his ha r was chestnut, rather
dark, and his eyes were blue. There was nothit g remarka,le
about his eyebrows, nor was there any " twitching" at •11.

The next witness examined was It, D'Aranza, a Spanish
gentleman, Who was resident In Parts, an old friend of the
Ilehborne family. He WAS examined by Mr. Chapman
Barber, and stated that he had known them thirty lire years,
and wee wellpequainted with Roger. Ile often dined with
the family. Ile remembered his corning to Paris in 18,3, and
saw him frequently there. lie knew the Comte de atan-
deville. who was a ereat hiredt of Roger, and was very fond
of him, and gave Win a gold watch on the occasion of his
first communion. (To understood this, it must be bones in
mind that yesterday the cross-examination of the defendant
WY read, In which, being asked AS I, FAA/ Ileyllllll,SAlledll,
he did not mention the (7, tint nor the witness.) The Nahalee

about the eyebrows or the formation of hWknees, but per-

heard the Claimant on the former trial,

Mr. Chapman Barrer : Are },tl able to form an opinion

IRe eon of my ola friend.

Lady Tichborne appeared to be very fond of Alfred, hut rho
had • preference Irr Roger. Witness never obrerved the
mirky of tattooing c n lto,;er's treat and arm, and AN ts pressed
a good deal as to whether, he'ng no intimate with him, i.e
would have not observed minks In such • partition, but he
said he did not know that he should, and he certainty did not
observe any, and Roger never showed them to him, a, it less
notrilltety to do sa. There was something peculiar about
Roger's wade : not particularly at the levees lie spoke, no
doubt, bad lautlish, but not vulgar. Vulgar wee ant the
proper word. He mixed up Frencu and English trgether.

In re-evamination of the witness, Dlr. Hawkins asked him

whole of his life lap to the are .116 in P.tris and bad q.oltnn

English was not vul,ar, but imperfect on "broken" English.
There was n thing vulgar about him, either in language or
manner.. Witness was very intimate with him, end was a
lidential friend. He had remonttraled with Roger as to
his bad English.

at Herne Bay we marched to Canterbury. When we arrived
at Canterbury we went on to theinftentry barracks, having no
