Vim Bodkin appeared. as before, fee the preened= ; and
Mew. Balleatiao and Perry for the prisoners.
Mr. Bodkin said k• was in hopes, after the interval of a
fortnight which had elapsed sines the last mamination, that
be should bamboos able to bring the pretest impertrat in-
spiry to a tenehmtion widest any farther delay. From
ciremstasees whisk had transpired, however—and parties-
larly from one eironmeenee whisk ha should refer to
hereafter—ha found it would be wormy to ask for still
man time to songlike the investigation whisk had been
"slog ea in the interim. Great &Mealtime had
boss met with, and overman ; and the peeseestion had
been fortunate enough to tram several of the
beads, labials formed the subject of the present Wintry,
and whisk, It was abundantly clear, bad never been taken
to the house of Onward and Co. at all ; so that the state-
ment of Mr. &robin, upon which the preened= had
would mesa to have been—be would not say Wen-
tionelly—satres. It would be remembered that among the
securities of Dr. Grilith wen some Danish bonds, vetoed
at 2,0001, mamad on his behalf, by the primal% sad dr
posited at their beak. This purchase was made in Mareb,lB64,
and dividends upon the securities were regularly paid to
Dr. GriMthe by the primaen up to the period of the prer.
seat Madames befog made. He was in a condition, how-
ever, to show by evident* on the pretest occasion, that
these very seauvities were dispond of in the same year, aid
same into the hands of MUM. Smith, Payne end Co., the
beakers, whore they remained at the present time is the
name of a goatleman seated Beattie, to whom the dividends
were beingregularlypaid. Not withstaading this chentostanco
he should be able to show by the pats book of Dr. Orintit,
that the amount of dividends upon the bonds in question
were duly paid to him by Messrs. &rah= and Co., as if the
securities bad still been in their powassion. He (Kr. Bod-
kin) regretted that Mr. Beattie, whose irides., waddlers
a material link in the case, was at present ablate MUM
England, and far this reason it would be seceseary to mat
fora farther remand, from week to week, until the rehash
of that gentleman, which wee expected is the early pan if
September. Other evidence regarding one of the DO*
bonds, which had been also traced, would be pedaled, and
this would advise* the an to a material extent.
Mr. John Hill, of the Ors of Sims and Hill, broken, of
3, Bartholomew-lane, deposed that in April, 1851, he re-
ceived instructioas from the prisoners to porches, 2,0001. of
Danish bonds. They were purehased as the 10th, and dr
livered on the 16th, and were of the numbers produced:—
Two bonds of 4001 mob, No/. 426 and 673 ; two bands of
3001. each, Noe. 793 and 794 ; and en bonds of 100/. each,
Noe. 667, 669 to 883 (inclusive). The costs of these bonds,
including the communion, was 2,0371. 10s.
Mr. Bodkin here reed an entry from the pase-boek of Dr.
Onfith, showing the shove purchase by the prisoners on his
behalf.

Kr. Wm. Newingtos &sudden deposed that be was a
desk in the bask of Smith, Payne, and Co., bankers, of
Lombord.street. He prodseed (oar Danish Bonds for 1001.
sash (No. 669,660, 661, and 662). They were deposited in
Smith and Co.'s bask in Marsh, 1854, on account of a Mr.
i Joseph Sykes, a esetomer. It is the cantons to receive i_
dividends upon sash mouritiss, and oa reference to the u
books of the hank be found that dividends were received oa re
Ks bonds is quatioa in September of the same year. The 10
negetiattes Was maid on with Messrs. Barnet and Ellis, :
sesakbrokers, on behalf of Mr. Sykes. so
Mr. Frederick Savory, clerk to Hasbro and Son, of Old II
Breehatrest, agents for the payment of dividends of Five
per Om& Danish Bonds, referred to the books of the house,
ami showed therefrom that the dividends payable upon the le
breads, Nos. 659, 660, 651, 852, and 663, were paid to Messrs. 5
Strohm sod Co. (the prisoners) in March, 1854. The diet. :
Ends open four of the same bonds were paid in the month b.
d ilsdamber following to the house of Smith, Payne, and r.;
Co. (The nunsbus given were the same as mentioned by se
the last witness) The dividends last due were also paid to :
Kola and Co. too
Mr. Edward Nines Blaney stated that he was at present ..10
a dark in the Massa Dauglsish and Co., Australian goer- r,
1 chants, of Great St. Helene. In Marsh, 1864, was a clerk tto
to Hombre and Co., of Great Brood-smut, end in March I:
of that year be paid the dividends upon the Danish bonds e
einalmed (numbered se above) to Messrs. Strahan and Co. 4,
Kr. Bookin then proposed to call Mr. Humphreys, just., I
the solicitor for the prosecution, to show that he had traced Id
these sad other securities through different hands, and had 44
eventually amortainsd that the present holder of them—a to
Mr. Beattie—was at present abroad, sad could not be again re:
ia England till the first week in September. too
Mr. Ballasting would accept this statement from the :4
learned counsel for the prosecution. Is
Mr. Charles Peppercorn was then called to prove that LO
among the Datch bonds purchased by the firm on the 27th ;To
February, 1844, was ono No. 3,348. In September, 1863, 34
they were instilled by Straiten and Co. to raise money on :
Dstrils hoods. They were to deposit 200 bonds of 1,000 le
a des each for the loan. Witness raised the money is two t°
sums of 6,0001. each, from Messrs. Levy, of the Exchange, le
and Mr. Bodin, waking 10,0001. which he rat od for the L 4
prisoners. Among the securities deposited with Levy and go
Co., was the one No. 3,318. le
This being the whole of the evidence adduced tc-day, SO
SO
Mr. Bodkin applied for a further remand. I
Mr. Ballanthie, without objecting to a remand, hoped t
that the magistrate would now consider it only fair and to
tameable that the prismen should be admitted to bail, it sea
being expressly stated that the completion of the case mutt so
now depend upon the return of a witness who was abroad, 10
and who might not return at all—at least at the time ex-
pected—in September next.
Mr. Parry signed for the committal of the prisoners at ot.
once—deeming the merely probable arrival of a gentleman, :::
at present abroad, as wholly insuffidieut to justify the far- OL
dm detention of his client. He also pressed for a nom
Mast, on the ground that the magistrate in that case,
would be required by the court to admit the parties to bail. IS
He hoped the importance of this gas', the public censure ~.
it had elicited, and the premature judgment of the press,
would not be permitted to lassoes his worship. to
Mr. Bodkin said the delay chiefly arose from the way in lo
which the proms:ciao had been misled by one of the pri- 41.
omen. Ho was willing to leave the question of bail with the se.
msgistrate. ILI
Kr. Jardine Jardine said the question was full of diffisultieg. If
the remand had bees asked for on any other ground the*
IbilibiliSCO of • witness for an jai:legatee period, he should ii.
Mt have gloated the application. Bat now be was in- P
Mood to entertain the request, although a large amount of
boa mold be required.
.Ileentnally his worship agreed to take the personal re-
eagaissams of the prisoners in 6,0001. each; besides two
sureties of 3,0001. each, with the usual 24 boars' notice.
The prisoners werethen remanded.
