NOSH FOR liii 11C.DIS/110ITIL
Mr. WeWord, addressing the Bench, mid he appeared there
Os. behalf of the prisoners, Mrs. and the Mires McDermott,
The Superintendent of Police had taken away their mousy,
and left them absolutely penniless, so that they were without
any means of defence. He was sent for the other day to under-
take their cam ; but being informed that they had no mans,
as Mr. Vickery Mel taken away their money, he declined to
take the case. They were charged with • certain °fence, and
he believed now there were other charge. pending, and he
would ask that the money found in their ion—and which
was clearly understood to bare been to them by Mre. Case
Lor a purpose not connected with thee. charges—might be
anded over to hint for the purpose of their defence.
The Bench asked what wee the amount?
Mr. Butt understoud it was 19 10e. II id.
Dr. Drew That has been subject to certain deduction. for
their own espouses. I feel strongly on the point that union it
on be shown that this money was connected with the MOS
against them, them women, whether they me good or bad,
ought to have the opportunity of defending themselves with
their own money.
Mr. Webdonl Yes, your worships ; and I ask that they
Mould be allowed to have that money. They have not a friend
in England to befriend them, and that le all the greater roman
why they should hare some one to appear for them.
Mr. Ayling Do you ask for the whole of the looney found
upon then}
Mr. Weleford : I believe it may be necessary for me to ham
I witnesses from Ireland, and also from Jersey on their behalf,
and I may require the whole of the money.
Mr. Ayling : The magistrates may be disposed to order the
giving lirei of • Part of the money; but not of the whole. There
ts • of stealing against them.
Mr. eisford : And it has been ekarly shown to you puller-
men That this money was no part of the articles mid to be
stolen ; those articles were found in their luggage; they had not
been disposed of.
Dr. Drew: Mrs. Case gave them the money the night before,
to go out of her house, Mindoro it was legiUM64ol7 their

Weleford : There is a solicitor at Jersey who I believe
It will be most Important to have over her. How am Ito get
him here without paying his travelling expenses T They have
been shut oat from any defence In ane case where It was roost
desirable that they Mould be defended, and you gentlemen
were aware of the fact.
The Bench seemed doubtful as to what amount should be
handed over.

Dr Drew: If I were Mr. Wel/ford I should take suMcient
for me to appear on Saturday, and watch the case.
Mr Welaford : I have had certain statements made to me of
which! cannot Judge yet. It may be of the greatest impor-
tance to me to get. professional ofeil from Jersey on the next
hearing. I don't my that! shall hare him, because! would
not mislead the Bench, but, supposing I do, here "mold be
three days at three guinea, a day, and with the fsre by the
boat, the money would be all gone at once.
Mr Talbot: I wonder you should take the came in hand; you
would not take it,! should think, without seeing your way
dear.
Mr Arden: Mr Welaford would be some pounds out of
ponkek.

Mr Wctsford : mat Is my affair, I only ask this in. matter of
Justice, for I say these prisoners have been a/ mote ireful
dieidnudage, and they have been placed et that disadvantege
because the police had their money. And what is more, I told
you, gentlemen, that that we. the reason why I could not
appear for them, and you could then have removed that
disalvantese. Had I known the circuital...nos of the Ms 1111
I do now, I would have given them my Services; but I do not
See why I should be expected to loin.
Dr Drew : I wish you had made your application on Friday,
In the mine form am you do now I have a strong opinion that
these MOlll.l have been made the tools of other penions not In
custody.
Mr Weldoni : Had I been here and defended the prisoners,
I could have put a totally different appeeranoe upon the CYO
from what It then presented
Mr Ayllng : My brother magistrates are of opinion that, In
regard to this application of your., a certain proportion of the
money may without Impropriety, be approprWed towards the
defence In this case, said e Bench will apportion IA in the
amount fur the ambstanor and defence of the prisoner.
kfr Welsford : I suppose leaving it open to me to make any
future application.
The Chairmen: Tee.
Mr Weldon/ thanked the Bench, and withdrew.
