___ .

George Crane, pay sergeant of Capt. Thomson'/ company,
was examined, and identified certain words and figures in
the anonymous letter as the writing of the defendant.
Mr. George Nethercliff, fae-sizallist of the British Mu-
seum, stated that the greater pert of the anonymous litter
was in a disguised hand, but that in some places where the
disguise appeared to have been forgotten by the writer, his
genuine handwriting wee apparent. He was of opinion
that the pus= who had written the genuine letters had
written the anonymous letter.
Mr. Henry Adlard, engraver, Hatton-garden, examined
—lie was for upwards of 28 years employed by the govern-
ment in detecting forged and disguised handwriting. The
greater portion of the writing in that anonymous letter was
in a feigned band. He had not the least doubt, after
careful examination, that the same person who had written
the genuine letters had written the anonymous latter.
'Olt. Cathcart was called, and Me corroborative testi-
min:alma the case for the plaintiff.
ffeejsent Wilkins then addressed the jury for the defence,
mei lead the following witnesses :
Captain James Thomson, the defendant, examined—l
am NOW Captain in the London Militia. After Captain
Curling Joined, in 1862, I saw him for about three week',
and for about four weeks in 1863, since which time I have
admit him. Shure rwrote the letter to Captain Curling,
in 1862, I have bad no dispute with him. In February last
I was seriously ill with inflammation of the lungs, which
confined me to my bed for about& fortaight. At the latter
end of April I went out once or twice. Until the latter end
of August, when I went to Kent, I continued in a very
debilitated state. I had no knowledge whatever of Captain
Curling's intention to become a member of the Junior
United Service Club, until I received the declaration in
this action. I never sow the anonymous letter before to-
day. No part of it is in my handwriting.
Crao.oxamined—l was in correspondence with the
plaintiff during the latter and of July. I was not too
ill to transact business during a portion of my illness. In
July I wrote to Captain Hall. On the sth of July, the day
on which the anonymous letter was dated, I went from my
residence, 16, Edward.street, Hampstead-road, with the
intention of visiting the Flower Show lathe Regent's-park.
It was too damp, and I returned.
