of comparatively few owners, while ou the other side
of the water Fran*. has been divided Into an Moreno*

believed, by the violmt confiacatien of the Groat

relieved the small owner from the Imposts and forged
labour which he was bound to Os. to the "seignenr,"
but otherwise in:de little proprietary change. Nor

THR TIORDORMI TRIAL.
Two very important withers" were rolled on Thum
day—Roger's first valet, who wee with him up to 1851,
and Colonel Norbury, one of the dithers who w.s called
ler the defendant at the last trial. Roger'. first valet,
who was with him till the beginning of 1851, the same
time when Merin had the oar of his horses and dodo,
sated that haviag seen a photograph of the defendant,
be did not believe he was his oh ma.rter, hut tie was
afterwards persuaded by one of the defoodent's suppor-
ters to fps and see him, and after a two hours' Interview
with him he was not satisfied, although linoreard by
his knowledge about Roger'. horns and dos; but that
at • gerrad if torviow he war sathead se to the identity.
In ormsfelandnation it was suggested tb it his ralni
had been biassed by the previona coeversvion, ant that
the keowledge which impressed him hart bren probably
derived frog, MCann. Etsing thorns a photograph
taken front the daguerreotype of Rigor, be said it was
" a fair Likenoes"—one by whiah any one who had
known Roger well would be able to reo gem. him:
Being showu a photograph of the defendant he admit.
tel that he curli not identify his old master by it.—
Colonel Norbury, when asked who the defendant was,
eoullued the • xiiression of his opinion to the irnpree don
math nom him at a long interview he had with
him in 1867. Ile was at that ieterriew imprerwl
good deal by his knowledge of incidents in the nurtment,
and by degree, he believed he recognised him, al
trr king those interview, alone, he stionli still say thin
was his belief. appeared that he wan examined, es
all the °filers called for the Ulaimant wore, before the
Claimant hiorelf was examined, and he avowed that
the *Met of the oron-examination of the Claimant had
Is.en to rare doubt, in his mind which were not
diasipated.—Mr. Justice Lush: Does the doubt raleed
by the defendant's examination remain I—l don't think
the doubt reel:alas eo strongly low as then.—There is
✓id a doubt I—Rut not no strong as It ass —Yon need

—That wee merely to 'avoid dircussion.—Yru have
hitherto spoken only se to the effect of the sidentset's
examination ; what has been the effect of other evidence?

which would cense inn to doubt. —What are they I

Mellor: What is the present elate of your mind 7
Colonel Norbury: Well, when I think of some parts of
lir evidence I am disposed to be of one opinion ; whea
I think of others I don't know what to think.— Mr.
Serjearat Parry: Had you heard that in Australia he
had declared that he newer was in the army as an
°leer at all, but only as a private for a few days In
the 66th regiment 7—No, I had not.—The Lord Chief
Jostles observed that thia would lead to mature all the
strong points of the ore on the one side and the other.
You cannot go further than hie opinion—Colonel
Norbury said that the truth wan Ibis!, that as he
allowed his mind to rest on some parte of the riders
ha felt obstacles to the belief in the defendant, and
when-he thoeght of others he felt disposed
to be of a different opinion. In fact, his mind
was not sufficiently capacious to take it all In at
ones. A "seen." °scarred relative to the env, loos
of a letter now mining. Dr. Kerry insisted
it was handed to Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Hawkins
declared it was not so, but the envelope of another
letter. Dr. Kenealy said the envelope was, by the
evidence, traced to the hands of Mr. Dawkins,
and be would rather believe that than Mr. llawkles'
word.—Mr. Hawkins declared it emphatically to be
utterly false, and protested against the gross and offen-
sive imputation convesed.—The Lord Chief Justice
greatly regretted the such language—Mr. Juries
Lush said emphatioally that he had been more pained
at the language need In this trial than be had ever been
before in any oar in whir he had ever been cam d.
—Dr. Hensel, repeated hie asserUon that the envelope
was traced to Mr. Hawkina—Mr. Hawkins again
vehemently denied it—Mr. Juries Lush rid it plainly
appeared the envelope was that of some other letter.—
'Me Lord Chief Justice said by the evidence the en-
velope was "traced,' not to Mr. Mashies, but to the
witness hinuelf.—A Juror said the time of the Court
was worth far more than the matter in dispute about
thls envelope. Upon this, Dr. Kencaly vehemently
protested %phut any imputation of wasting time. My
client's interest, be said, in this oar. which might
involve 21 yearn penal penal s rvliode, are far more serious
than the time of any jarerr. If the jury as a body tell
me I am wasting the time, I will bow to their opinion,
but I protest against any suet ohiervations fronts par-
holder juror.—The Lord Chief Justios said ha mad
avow his opinion that that particular enrolee° was not
of the slightest importation, and be deeply regretted
the language which had been used shout it.—Mr.
Keneaiy : Well, I only said that I had rather take the
evidenee than Mr. Hawkine's word, and I do not se•
that there is anything very serious in that. —Nr.3110109
Mellor: I sex not surprised at you I —Dr. Kellett,: I
am not eurprird at anything you say of me, my Lord.
—The Lord Chief Justioe said if such language was
used the rehitioes whisk had hitherto subsisted betwoen
the Bar and the Bench could not continue, and again
he expressed his deep regret at the language which had
been red.—Mr. Justice Mellor, with great repliers :
I am bound to say that my feelings have been more
